Chapter 217: Slaughter the Sect and Exterminate the Lineage

Slaughter the sect and exterminate the lineage!

Such an understated sentence, spoken from the mouth of the young man before them who looked like a student on a spring outing, carried a strong sense of unreality.

The two Sword Sect disciples even thought they had heard wrong.

However, they had no chance to ask again.

Swish.

Sword light unsheathed, deftly circling their necks. Two heads fell instantly, and the smell of blood immediately alerted the [Shangxuan Sword Sect].

“Who is it!”

“What petty person dares to offend my Sword Sect!?”

Streaks of sword light rose from various parts of Mystic Sword Mountain, their tones mixed with shock and anger. However, in the next second, their voices were snuffed out in their throats.

At the very peak of Mystic Sword Mountain, the two Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones, Sword Master Xuanjin and Sword Master Xuanyin, were also abruptly awakened. They only felt through their spiritual perception that a great disaster was imminent for their sect. Especially Sword Master Xuanjin, who revealed a panicked expression, walking quickly out of the quiet room and looking in the direction from which the sound came.

In the next second, both revealed expressions of disbelief:

“What is… that?”

Mystic Sword Mountain was located among clusters of peaks, surrounded by flowers, grass, and trees. However, at this moment, they saw only a dark, oppressive white tide.

Rumble!

The monstrous white tide surged at this moment. Figures walked out from it, one after another, clad in armor and holding sharp weapons, numbering over ten thousand.

Leading them were two people, a man and a woman.

The woman had peerless beauty and a cold expression, with a hall rolling with Yin Baleful Qi standing behind her. The man had a bitter face, stepping on a Yin-Yang Great Dao Diagram.

Both were impressively Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones!

However, at this moment, these two Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones were respectfully standing with their hands at their sides, guarding a handsome Daoist in a black cloak who held a sword in reverse.

For a moment, Sword Master Xuanyin’s gaze was appalled. With his Foundation Establishment Perfected One’s vision, he could naturally see that the dark tide of people below were actually not real people, but something akin to puppets… However, it was undeniable that even if they were just puppets, this was a terrifying force.

Although there was actually only one opponent, he was enough to rival the entire [Shangxuan Sword Sect]!

Thinking of this, Sword Master Xuanyin was about to step forward to inquire, but before he could move, his arm was firmly gripped by Sword Master Xuanjin beside him.

“Xuanjin…!?”

Sword Master Xuanyin turned his head, instantly stunned. He saw that Sword Master Xuanjin, who had always been proud and confident, was now pale-faced and full of panic.

“It’s him… it’s him!”

“He is that fierce devil!”

As soon as these words came out, Sword Master Xuanyin’s expression also changed. Sword Master Xuanjin had fled back from Jiangbei, and what he described most was the so-called fierce devil.

“Activate the Sword Array!”

In the next second, Sword Master Xuanyin spoke with a magnificent voice, his reaction swift. Ten thousand swords hummed in unison within Mystic Sword Mountain, and the brilliance of the Formation instantly illuminated the dome of the sky.

However, seeing this, Lu Yang did not panic in the slightest.

He was even smiling. “Do the two Fellow Daoists think I am the kind of foolish person without self-awareness who would openly kill my way to your door just because I consider myself powerful?”

“What…”

Hearing this, Sword Master Xuanyin was instantly stunned. Before he could react, countless screams suddenly rang out on Mystic Sword Mountain under the shroud of the Sword Array!

Looking around, the Mountain-Protecting Sword Array, which should have been used to deal with external enemies, was now turning against all the disciples of the [Shangxuan Sword Sect]. Countless sword lights fell instantly. Except for disciples at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, the rest were caught off guard and pierced through by sword lights almost instantly!

In an instant, the entire Mystic Sword Mountain was stained with blood.

“This is impossible!” Sword Master Xuanyin’s eyes split with rage, while Sword Master Xuanjin looked dull: “How could this be? Why would the Mountain-Protecting Sword Array defect…”

“Nothing is impossible.”

Lu Yang shook his head. “The fact that the [Shangxuan Sword Sect] has a Mountain-Protecting Sword Array is no secret. Since I knew, how could I come without making any preparations?”

He always planned before acting, only putting on the most stable act.

Without an assurance, how could he personally risk danger?

As early as yesterday, he had used [Hidden Stellar Radiance] to conceal his aura and relied on his attainments as a Rank 6 Formation Master to secretly modify the Sword Array of the [Shangxuan Sword Sect].

“Since I am here, it means this place is very safe.”

Lu Yang smiled calmly. “And when I said I would slaughter the sect and exterminate the lineage, naturally I had already finished it before going up the mountain today. I just wanted to tidy up the loose ends.”

“After all, there is one person in your noble sect who is still quite troublesome.”

Before Lu Yang’s voice fell.

Clang! Clang!

A clear sword hum rang out from the belly of Mystic Sword Mountain. At first, it was as fine as a mosquito’s hum, but after a few breaths, it resounded inside and outside the mountain peak.

Immediately after, a tall middle-aged man wearing a Daoist robe appeared in the sky above Mystic Sword Mountain. At a glance, his sword-like eyebrows extended into his temples, and his expression was resolute. With a wave of his large hand, he split out thousands of sword lights to protect all the disciples, then turned his head to look at Lu Yang at the foot of the mountain.

Their gazes met at this moment.

In the next second, sword light flashed abruptly!

Swish—!

Without any words, a streak of sword light slashed directly along the line of sight. Almost simultaneously, the magnificent colors of a Divine Ability emerged on Lu Yang’s body.

Then, the sword light slashed by the middle-aged man seemed to lose its accuracy, deviating by a hundred and eight thousand miles. From originally slashing at Lu Yang, it landed in the mountain forest hundreds of meters to Lu Yang’s left. Although it cut down a large number of trees, it didn’t harm Lu Yang, who stood with his hands clasped behind his back, in the slightest.

“…Hmm?”

Seeing this scene, Perfected One Shangxuan instantly narrowed his eyes, looking at Lu Yang with a trace of surprise. “You can actually avoid my Sword Intent lock?”

His Sword Intent slashed directly at karma; ordinary means could not avoid it.

Even if the cultivation was the same as his, theoretically, facing his sword light, one could only choose to resist hard. Yet Lu Yang did it, showing his Divine Ability was extraordinary.

“Sword Intent… truly powerful.”

Lu Yang sighed with emotion. “I heard Fellow Daoist obtained the inheritance of the [Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion]. Presumably, you must have one or two secret sword techniques of the [Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion] on you, right?”

“What, you want them?”

Perfected One Shangxuan was very calm, his eyes seeming able to dissect Lu Yang. “This Divine Ability of yours is very powerful, but there is a trace of disharmony with your innate nature.”

“If my expectation is not wrong, this Divine Ability is formed by an external object.”

“Your cultivation shouldn’t have reached perfection of the Middle Stage yet, but is enhanced like the [Official Position] of the Dao Court. With an unstable foundation, you are ultimately just a clay chicken and pottery dog.”

While speaking, Perfected One Shangxuan’s Sword Intent also began to flourish.

The familiar needle-like pain made Lu Yang narrow his eyes as well. “I’ve met another powerful Sword Cultivator; you are about the same compared to him.”

Lu Yang was naturally referring to Ye Xingfeng.

So far, Ye Xingfeng was the only person he had seen who could challenging a higher level from the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment against the perfection of the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Although it wasn’t a cross-realm challenge, it was still a gap of one Innate Divine Ability versus two Innate Divine Abilities, showing Ye Xingfeng’s strength. In comparison, although Perfected One Shangxuan was inferior to Ye Xingfeng in terms of Spirit Treasure, Dao Foundation, and Divine Ability, he was already at the perfection of the Middle Stage.

Being one realm higher was enough to smooth out all gaps.

‘In all fairness, fighting him with my current strength would result in a fifty-fifty split at most, and I couldn’t stop him from fleeing or asking for help from the outside world.’

Fortunately, he came prepared.

With this thought, Lu Yang immediately pinched a hand seal. Almost simultaneously, Perfected One Shangxuan merged with the sword light, slashing a sword at the top of Lu Yang’s head from afar.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the [Mystic Cloak of Hundred Wards and Subdued Perils] took effect again. Lu Yang was unharmed, and his hand seal movements didn’t stop either, a magnificent color appearing at his fingertips.

This touch of magnificent color was initially just a spark, but soon it generated the momentum of a prairie fire, merging into the Mystic Sword Mountain Formation already controlled by Lu Yang. In an instant, it enveloped the entire Divine Mountain, including Perfected One Shangxuan, the two Sword Masters Xuanjin and Xuanyin, and all the Sword Sect disciples within the array.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

During this period, Perfected One Shangxuan didn’t stop moving, slashing out another three swords, which were still forcefully taken by Lu Yang using the Divine Wonder of the [Mystic Cloak of Hundred Wards and Subdued Perils].

“So that’s how it is… disregarding power, only looking at the number of times.”

Perfected One Shangxuan had cultivated for hundreds of years and was experienced. Although he had only slashed three times, he had figured out the characteristics of this Spirit Treasure and immediately changed tactics.

In the next second, he slashed out ten thousand sword lights!

The power of each sword light was not as great as before, but as long as they landed simultaneously, they could still break open the [Mystic Cloak of Hundred Wards and Subdued Perils] and harm Lu Yang’s True Body!

However, just then, Lu Yang moved.

“Perfected One Yin Shan attacked Zhalong Pass, using Blood Filth Qi to temporarily reduce the power of the Zhalong Pass Formation, allowing me to slightly shift the void here…”

Before his voice fell, the Divine Ability appeared suddenly!

[Determine Intimacy]! [Imperial Mountain-Shifting Orthodox Method]!

“I invite everyone to take a tour of Jiangbei!”

Lu Yang laughed loudly. The magnificent light blooming at his fingertips filled everyone’s vision in the blink of an eye, swallowing everyone present together.

When the magnificent light dispersed, Perfected One Shangxuan froze in place.

The surrounding environment had changed.

Mystic Sword Mountain was still there, but the surroundings were no longer dense mountain forests but a flat land. On the flat land, soaring auras emerged one after another.

The leader wore a black robe and had a shadowed expression.

It was impressively Perfected One Yin Shan!

Besides him, Han Xiang and Yu Chan followed closely, along with many other Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones summoned by the Saint Sect, numbering more than ten!

However, the faces of these Perfected Ones were also filled with astonishment, looking at Lu Yang standing with his hands behind his back in disbelief. Especially Han Xiang and Yu Chan, who finally understood why Lu Yang hadn’t appeared at Zhalong Pass just now… They thought he just went to sneak attack the [Shangxuan Sword Sect].

Who could have imagined that he actually moved the entire Mystic Sword Mountain over!

“Fellow Daoists, what are you still dazing for?”

In the next second, Lu Yang’s voice drifted over faintly: “We heretical and demonic path practitioners, why talk about morality with the righteous path Sword Cultivators? attack him together with me!”

Gang up on him!

“Wait, there is a misunderstanding here…”

Before Perfected One Shangxuan could finish speaking, more than ten Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones simultaneously activated Spirit Treasures and Divine Abilities, drowning him in numerous magnificent colors with a boom!

Compared to a head-on battle, this was the style of the Saint Sect.

So what if you are at the perfection of the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment? If bullying the small with the big doesn’t work, then bully the few with the many! As long as it’s not a qualitative gap, we can pile on people to crush you to death!
