Moon-Treading Sword Control, Seven Fiends Slay!

Li Guanqi had only just scratched the surface of the Moon-Treading Sword Control Art; at most, he could freely control six swords at once. *Bang! Bang! Bang!* His expression grim, Wei San swung his longsword, shattering the six black iron swords one by one! Just as he was about to pounce toward Li Guanqi, a golden-haired figure suddenly interposed himself before him. "Hey! Your opponent is me!!" *Clang!* The two longswords clashed, their faces less than a palm's width apart. Both of their gazes were chillingly cold, killing intent flickering deep within Wei San's eyes. "You damn brat, you sure know how to put on an act!" "You don't have a fucking Dao protector!!" In an instant, an intensely fierce battle erupted between them! Wei San hailed from the secular underworld; his sword style completely flouted conventional forms, yet every strike was lethal. Ye Feng grinned. "You bunch of idiots, when did I ever say I had a Dao protector?" Facing Wei San's ferocious offensive, Ye Feng remained completely composed and at ease. Yet the moment he caught sight of Li Guanqi fighting two opponents alone, the sword momentum in his hands grew increasingly sharp. Every sword technique transformed endlessly, and his strikes became blistering fast. *Clang, clang, clang!* Sparks burst between them in an instant. Wei San's eyes narrowed as he suddenly felt an immense pressure. A tempest of sword light slashed toward him, suffocating him under its weight. With a grim glint in his eye, Wei San flicked his wrist and slapped several talismans onto himself! His speed and strength surged instantly. Ye Feng's eyes narrowed. He did not dare underestimate his foe in the slightest, but the fury in his chest only burned hotter! "Damn it, as a disciple of Tianjin Peak, you think I can't cut down a worthless scumbag like you?!" *Boom!* Terrifying metal-attribute spiritual power erupted with a roar, and the sword momentum in Ye Feng's grip suddenly grew incomparably sharp!! Seeing Ye Feng surging with golden radiance, Wei San could not help a strange chill rising from deep within. Li Guanqi, on the other hand, was suppressing two opponents single-handedly! What was more, he still had the leeway to shoot several streams of light from his sword casket, slaying the surrounding Foundation Establishment cultivators. Holding his sword in his right hand, Li Guanqi had no intention of entangling himself with them for long. His divine sense surged outward, covering a radius of over a hundred zhang and taking in everything on the battlefield at a glance. His sword control art relentlessly reaped the lives of the nearby Foundation Establishment cultivators. All of them reeked of heavy bloodiness; one look showed that their hands were stained with blood on a regular basis. Refining blood pills was no different from what wicked, atrocious evil cultivators did. Keeping blood slaves was even more so—the day a blood slave had no more blood to be drawn was the day they died. Because once they had no blood left to be drawn, they lost all usefulness. The pills refined through such ungodly, immoral deeds were intensely addictive once a cultivator ingested them. Many took advantage of this very effect to control cultivators and bend them to their will. *Clang, clang, clang!* Biting sword light lunged mercilessly straight toward Luan Ying!! In just a few breaths, Li Guanqi had swung his blade over a hundred times. By now, Luan Ying was covered in sword wounds, having come within an inch of losing her life on the spot several times. Yet Yu Kai beside her was just as hard-pressed; he could not fathom why Li Guanqi was fixated on hounding Luan Ying without letting up. Yet whenever he tried to intervene, an even more ferocious sword light would force him back!! Luan Ying was already entertaining thoughts of retreat. At the same time, Yu Kai saw Wei San being driven into scrambling frantically on the other side. In his heart, he grew anxious about when their reinforcements would arrive. Suddenly, the primal energy fluctuating around Yu Kai surged with greater violence, and the long saber in his hand grew distinctly swifter and fiercer. The formidable power blasted Li Guanqi several zhang back, allowing Yu Kai to shield Luan Ying behind him with a pull!! Immediately following that, several unfamiliar auras suddenly appeared in the distant sky, rapidly approaching. His eyes bloodshot, Yu Kai glared at Li Guanqi and rasped coldly, "To think you two bastards actually killed my brother!!" "You little bastards, I'm going to make you pay with your lives today!!" "I'll flay you alive, hang you above his spirit tablet, and keep you as my blood slaves day and night!!" *Boom!* Yu Kai violently crunched down on a tooth in his mouth, inside of which was a Spirit Burst Pill!! Li Guanqi's heart tightened; he had not expected the man to possess such a trump card. Alert and wary, he immediately switched Red Lotus to his left hand. Yet whether the Spirit Burst Pill was substandard or not, it barely managed to push his aura to the peak of the mid Core Formation stage. Seeing this, Ye Feng was almost amused. "You're so damn rich, couldn't you buy the genuine article??" "Daring to swallow pills concocted by your own half-baked alchemist..." However, Li Guanqi's senses detected that the three people rushing over were all Core Formation cultivators, one of whom was even in the mid Core Formation stage. After a moment's pause, Li Guanqi turned his head and said, "Stop playing around. Go all out!" Scratching his head, Ye Feng said sheepishly, "Got it, Boss. It's just my first time fighting outsiders, so I got a bit excited." His words falling, the youth's chest heaved slightly as he exhaled a breath of stale air. *Swish!* An afterimage flashed. Wei San raised his sword to parry, yet the strike still pierced right through his arm!! With a slight twist of Ye Feng's wrist, a cold glint flashed!! Wei San's entire left arm was split clean in two from the middle!! Vicious and rat-eyed, Wei San proved ruthless enough to swing his sword straight at Ye Feng's head, completely disregarding his own life!! If Ye Feng pressed the attack, Wei San was dead, but Ye Feng would suffer a mortal blow! Ye Feng twisted in midair, drawing back his sword to parry, and bounded back several zhang. Yet before Wei San could catch his breath, the youth's figure vanished from where he stood, leaving behind only an afterimage. Terror filled Wei San's eyes; he could not sense where his opponent was at all!! *Swish!* A chilling aura suddenly flickered behind him! Yet the very instant he turned and thrust his sword, Ye Feng materialized right before his eyes. The longsword in Ye Feng's grip slashed violently upward!!! *Slash!* Wei San was dead!! Seeing this, Yu Kai was shaken to his core and roared, "San'er!!!" Yet his own situation was hardly any better; standing before Li Guanqi, he dared not let down his guard for even a fraction of a second. A crimson light suddenly flashed across Red Lotus's blade, and a red lotus blossomed at the sword guard!! Li Guanqi whispered softly, "Soul Release: Red Lotus!!" *Boom!* In an instant, arcs of lightning crackled around Li Guanqi as dark clouds gathered overhead—he had simultaneously invoked the power of a spirit incantation! Yu Kai's face drained of color. Reaching behind him, he grabbed the woman and hurled her into the air!!! Luan Ying flew helplessly skyward, her eyes brimming with disbelief and venomous malice. "Yu Kai!!! You'll die a miserable death!!!" *Rumble!* *Crack-boom!* A Thunder Spear lit up the sky, carrying formidable might as it crashed down in an instant!!! The Thunder Spear punched right through the woman's abdomen and continued downward toward Yu Kai, its momentum undiminished. At the same time, Li Guanqi crouched low. As primal energy surged through him, it circulated throughout his body along a profound and mysterious pathway. His eyes slightly closed, the youth moved, murmuring softly: "Seven Fiends, First Sword: Fiend-Slaying Sword!!" *Boom!* In an instant, Li Guanqi left an afterimage that lingered long after he moved, his figure hurtling forward like a strike of lightning amid crashing thunder. The sword light in his hand drew every eye—lightning coiled about the blade, and its sword momentum was majestic and overwhelming! A flash of purple sword light streaked across the air, gone in a blink!! Yu Kai, whose long saber had not even been raised, lowered his head with great difficulty. Looking down at his now-nonexistent lower half, he cast one final, hate-filled glance at the youth standing behind him. Having slain Yu Kai, Li Guanqi's figure flashed explosively. Though he had only comprehended the Traceless Nether Step movement technique not long ago, his speed was already fast enough to leave afterimages lingering in the air! In an instant, several longswords flew out from his sword casket, wiping out all the remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators!
