I only seek to enjoy the present moment, regardless of dying in a foreign land tomorrow. With a blade in hand, I'll slay demons and men alike. "Ladies and gentlemen, please be on your way!&...
23 Immortals, first cut with your sword.
He Chen already knew that the person with the dark aura was still there, so he didn't even glance at the murderous glint in his eyes. Just as the flying sword was about to hit him, he used his Gentleman's Blade to cleave it away!
At this moment, several more flying swords flew by, but these swords were different from the first one; they did not have a chilling feeling. He Chen slashed with his broadsword, making five cuts with one stroke, instantly sending the flying swords flying.
Then, with a leap, he arrived in front of the man, slashed horizontally with his sword, the blade clanging, and then severed his leg and cut off his shoulder with four more strikes!
"Ah, how could you break my divine armor? Impossible! How could a mere mortal's sword possibly break through my divine armor's protection?" The young man on the ground looked on in disbelief.
He Chen looked at his sword being blocked with some surprise, and asked, "Who are you?"
The person on the ground, after a moment of astonishment, immediately said, 'Mortal, how dare you harm an immortal! Kneel down and beg for mercy!'
He Chen chuckled. This kind of scare tactic seemed to work in this world. Everyone believed in immortals, demons, and Buddhas, as well as Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, holy emperors, and major sects—there were just too many!
He said with a smile, though he was now covered in blood, and his smile was chilling, "You call yourself an immortal, how come you're mixing with bandits?"
The man on the ground wasn't worried about his severed hands and feet. He said fiercely, "I have divine armor protecting me. How could you possibly break my divine armor? And what are you all mixed up with? They're just my subordinates, dogs."
"You're not one of my people! You'd better end your own life and apologize right now, or my Ten Thousand Swords Manor will slaughter every last one of you here!"
He Chen said speechlessly, 'Another one's gone mad.'
Then, a flash of light severed the head of the person on the ground. The power of the blade was so great that it cleaved a three-zhang-deep crack in the ground!
[Kill Points increased by 450.]
So little! You've been bragging for so long and this is all you have? Who can you confide in about your bitterness?
The deaths of people on earth are unbelievable. I have already identified myself, and you still dare to attack me? I have divine armor protecting me. How can ordinary swords break through my divine armor!
After searching the young man for a while, I found a throwing knife—the material seemed good—but after trying it, I couldn't integrate it into the blade. Oh well! I also found a Myriad Swords Technique manual, but it didn't include any attributes, so I won't practice it. Whatever, it doesn't matter. A few bottles of pills, that's pretty good.
There were also silver notes, all-purpose silver notes, quite a lot, a thick stack of them—a real windfall! What a great haul!
He Chen searched the leader's body. He found no Swift Wind Spear Technique, some silver and silver notes, but no gold leaves. He was really not rich. Shouldn't bandits all be wealthy?
Jin Luo, Jin Feng, and others arrived with a large group of people. Looking at He Chen, who was covered in blood, they were speechless with emotion.
Looking at the sea of corpses before them, they were all stunned with fear. Some collapsed to the ground and vomited, while others nearly fainted.
He Chen said directly, 'You guys tidy these up.'
Suddenly, the scenery changed, and the world became warm and spring-like. A beautiful woman in a cheongsam called out, "Come here, I've missed you."
This is... I've been tricked! My spiritual consciousness returned to my body, my mind became clear, and I activated the Thunderfire Heart Technique at full power. Instantly, my vision cleared, and a terrifying red-faced skeleton was slowly approaching. The skeleton's mouth opened and closed, as if it were speaking.
He Chen felt disgusted. 'Give me back the pretty girl from Zhuangzi's Butterfly Dream! My beautiful clothes, my various decorations and outfits! Are you asking for it?!'
Then, he channeled all the power of the Thunderfire Heart Sutra into the blade, charged forward with incredible speed, and the blade instantly manifested as if heavenly thunder and earthly fire were simultaneously unleashed. With a single, unbelievable strike, the skeleton was cleaved in two. Thunder and flames, purple heavenly divine thunder, and samadhi true fire clung to the skeleton and burned.
"Ah!" The howls of skeletons echoed across the land, a pitiful and mournful sound that reverberated for miles around!
"Let me go right now, or my master won't forgive you!" The pink skull could actually speak.
Looking at the lightning and fire surrounding the skeleton, He Chen said sincerely, "I don't know how to extinguish the fire either. What should we do? Where are your parents? I'll have them come and rescue you."
"Ah." Soon, the Samadhi Fire burned the skeleton to ashes.
"Hey, don't die! You still haven't told me where your parents are! I need to find them!" He Chen shouted, watching the quickly burning skeleton.
[Kill Points increased by 350.]
He thought to himself, 'Such a low kill count? That's illogical. It's rare that this skeleton is just an illusion; even if I attacked it, it couldn't break my Divine Bell Shield. But illusions are truly powerful; I almost fell for it. It seems I still need to improve my cultivation technique.'
Then I looked at my kill count and it was amazing! I've really gotten a lot of kills this time!
Kill points! I'm rich! I'm rich! I'm so happy right now.
At this moment, the people on the ground had just woken up from the illusion. Looking at the skeleton that had just screamed, they were all horrified. The borderlands are really dangerous!
Thinking to myself, I should go back and inform my relatives and friends to try to come to the market area, as it's much safer than the village!
Jinlu suppressed his discomfort and came over. "Sir, please change your clothes," he said, and then took off his own clothes.
He Chen said, "No need. You should quickly finish searching the body and then burn it as soon as possible, lest something goes wrong."
"Yes, sir." The group looked at the mess on the ground, filled with fear, and quickly did as instructed.
He Chen looked at the mountain of debris, stepped forward, and said, "Make way, keep your distance."
Then, after everyone had gone far away, he circulated his inner energy, and the power of thunder and fire slowly appeared on the blade, accumulating more and more. Then, with a casual slash, the power of thunder and fire ignited everything in front of him. The Samadhi True Fire burned everything away, and the power of lightning killed the evil spirits!
Then, after repeatedly using the Thunderfire Heart Technique, all the bloodstains around were burned away, leaving the area scorched earth.
He Chen took a long stride, covering a hundred feet in a single step, like an immortal, and quickly returned home. The power of thunder and fire swirled around him, burning all his clothes. Then he washed up. It wasn't even dawn yet! He should go and get some rest.
The two dishes, their fragrance filling my heart, warm as spring, startled the early birds into flight. After working hard for almost two hours, I fell into a deep sleep.
But what happened last night has been followed by many people to some extent, especially the fire and the screams, which have frightened many people!
This morning, I heard about the great battle and the demons of last night. Some people didn't believe it, while others were terrified and wanted to leave, but where could they go?
Others, however, secretly thought, 'The market town is so powerful; this place would probably be even better off developing in the border region!'
However, the relocation of Jinjia Village was even faster; almost everyone agreed to come. The few households that had hesitated before now agreed in a flash! Some people even prepared gifts to give as a second gift, since it's never a bad thing to give more gifts!
In the distance, deep within the mountains and a secluded cave, a voice murmured, "My puppet is dead! It deserves to die! How dare it destroy the puppets of my Xuan Yin Sect! But that's not the time to worry about that!"
Then it fell silent again!
