Hades glanced at the two of them, smiled slightly, and said, "It's alright. I'll continue climbing the mountain after I've recovered my energy."
Shi Mengqi's eyes were fixed on Hades, her expression incredibly complex, containing doubt, affection, and deep reproach.
Shi Mengqi's left hand was behind her back, her five fingers tightly gripping a piece of the Golden Serpent Holy Sword's scabbard. Because she was gripping it too tightly, the piece of the sword cut her hand, and drops of blood gushed out.
She had just picked up the sword fragment from the ground, and she sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy on it.
Shi Mengqi's eyes held a complex expression, her body trembled slightly, and she opened her mouth but said nothing.
The three continued forward. Just then, a man dressed in plain clothes, carrying an iron sword, walked over. This man was named Yama, a top assassin.
He was extremely famous throughout the universe, but no one expected that Yama was actually a member of the demonic path.
"If you want to climb the mountain of books, you must first pass my test," Yama said expressionlessly.
Hades smiled slightly and said, "Please go first."
"Draw your sword," said Yama.
Hades stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "If you want me to draw my sword, then we'll see if you have the strength."
Yama's expression remained unchanged, still as calm as ever, yet a sharp aura emanated from him.
Hades always wore a smile, yet a powerful aura was gathering and rising, confronting Yama head-on.
Hades and Yama are very close; if one were to draw his sword, he could behead the other in an instant.
Therefore, the two of them remained in a highly sensitive state.
"Whoosh!"
In the blink of an eye, Yama flicked his wrist and thrust out his sword at an extreme speed, so fast that the sword shadow was completely invisible.
The next moment, when the sword shadow appeared, the iron sword had already pierced Hades' heart.
However, Hades' body gradually faded and turned into a wisp of white smoke.
It turned out that when Yama drew his sword, Hades had already displayed extreme speed, shifting to the side. Yama's sword only pierced his shadow.
With a flick of his wrist, Yama struck again with his sword, aiming for Hades' heart once more.
What appears to be an ordinary sword strike contains boundless mystery.
Only a semi-saint level figure could see clearly that Yama's sword appeared in ten consecutive sword shadows, forming a series, and finally overlapping together.
However, the speed at which the sword was drawn was so fast that most people couldn't even see it.
However, Yama's sword struck empty air once again, failing to touch Hades' body.
Hades said, "Your sword can't even touch the hem of my clothes."
Suddenly, Yama stopped, glanced at Hades out of the corner of his eye, held his sword horizontally, closed his eyes, and began to circulate the Nine Revolutions Life and Death Technique.
Immediately, a surge of life and death energy erupted from his body, containing both white life energy and black death energy.
The two forces intertwined and twisted together, rushing into the iron sword and causing it to tremble violently.
"Boundless by life and death."
A domain of deathly sword energy appeared.
Thousands upon thousands of sword energies flew out from the domain, continuously piercing towards Hades.
Hades retreated continuously, his eyes showing surprise. He thought to himself, "He has actually cultivated the Qi of Life and Death. Does that mean he has already cultivated the Nine Revolutions of Life and Death Technique to the fifth revolution?"
Of course, Hades was well aware of the characteristics of this technique.
If one can successfully cultivate to the fourth stage, then Yama has definitely experienced more than five life-and-death situations; perhaps even more than fifty.
"Swish."
The sword energy, like a massive torrent carrying a powerful death aura, surged from all directions, completely enveloping Hades' body.
At the same time, Yama transformed into a beam of light and thrust his sword through the air, striking Hades' heart for the third time.
Hades moved his arm, and a sword light flashed.
With a loud "bang," the Death Sword Qi Domain shattered as well.
A look of surprise appeared in Yama's eyes. He immediately blocked with his sword, colliding with the sword energy. His body flew backward and landed halfway up the mountain before he regained his footing.
"You are strong enough to warrant my sword, but not worthy of my drawing," Hades said calmly.
"What a powerful sword strike! It's practically indestructible."
Just now, the sword strike unleashed by Hades unleashed unparalleled power, shattering thousands of sword energies in an instant and nearly knocking the Demonic Sect's Deadly Swordsman down to the foot of the mountain.
The power of that single sword strike was simply unparalleled and indestructible, leaving all the geniuses and outstanding figures on the mountain of books utterly astonished.
Many of them were secretly calculating what would happen if they were to fight Hades and face that sword strike.
The calculated result sent chills down everyone's spines.
That sword strike was something no Earth Immortal cultivator could withstand. If it were them, their bodies would probably have been shattered in two by the sword energy.
Of course, this also reflects that the Demonic Sect's deadly swordsman was indeed very powerful, managing to withstand a sword strike from Hades without getting injured.
"Haha! Brilliant, truly brilliant! As expected, this trip to Tianxing has not disappointed this prince. I have only just arrived and have already witnessed such a wonderful show."
On the horizon, at the end of darkness, a blood-red cloud, like an ocean of blood, rolled toward the mountain of books.
Even from a hundred miles away, one could smell a pungent, bloody odor that permeated the air and was utterly repulsive.
"Whoosh!"
The blood-red clouds quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain of books.
The blood and qi continuously contracted inward, becoming increasingly dense, and transformed into a mass of blood in the shape of a human.
Finally, even the blood completely receded, transforming into a suit of blood armor. He finally revealed his true form, a remarkably sinister young man.
His face was extremely pale, as if covered with a layer of white powder, but his lips were quite red. He had a straight nose, deep-set eyes, and wore a bright red embroidered dragon robe tied behind his back with a jade belt, making him look like a woman.
It's quite bizarre that someone who is clearly a man is dressed in women's clothing and has women's makeup.
"An extraterrestrial blood demon?!" The talented woman of the Holy Book frowned.
The man's hearing was exceptionally sharp; he actually heard what the Holy Book Girl said. He let out a sharp laugh and said, "Little girl, you do have some knowledge. That's right, I, the prince, am a member of the Undying Blood Clan."
At the foot of the mountain, all the cultivators who were close to the man were startled and immediately retreated, wanting to get as far away from the vampire prince as possible.
The extraterrestrial blood demons invaded this universe thousands of years ago, but later the nine Martial Ancestors joined forces to seal them away. Recently, although various forces have heard that the extraterrestrial blood demons have broken the seal and escaped from Manji Island.
