Chapter 22  Two Swords to Slay Gui Xuan! Such Terror!

“Greetings, Uncle-Master Chengang!”

“Greetings, Grand-Uncle Chengang!”

All the elders and disciples, including Chu Tian and Palace Master Wangyue, respectfully saluted.

“Rise, there’s no need for such formality,” Daoist Chengang smiled kindly, looking every bit like a benevolent elder.

Chu Tian glanced at the troubled expression on Xuan Youzi’s face and chuckled inwardly.

The depths of Sacred Demon Mountain far exceed your imagination!

I don’t know how many secrets it truly holds!

Behind them, two gray-robed elders who had been meditating suddenly opened their eyes. Their expressions grew solemn as they looked at Daoist Chengang, clearly hesitating to speak.

Daoist Chengang looked over and said, “Li Qingchang, Li Qingping of the Ancient Star Sect, how have you two been?”

The three were old acquaintances—once prominent figures of the same era.

Li Qingchang’s expression was complex.

“I didn’t expect that even with the resources of a sacred land, my brother and I are still so far behind you in cultivation.”

“Haha, it’s merely a matter of talent,”

Daoist Chengang waved it off and continued, “So, are you leaving on your own, or must I ask you to go?”

The brothers exchanged glances and smiled.

“Chengang, though you’ve become a Dao-Seeking realm expert…”

“Today, even with your strength alone, you may not be able to protect Sacred Demon Mountain!”

As soon as the words fell, Xuan Youzi, following their cue, pulled out another pouch. In an instant, three figures burst out of the pouch. The aura of the Dao-Seeking realm became even more turbulent, shaking the heavens and earth.

The elders of Sacred Demon Mountain led their disciples far away. Even Chu Tian and Palace Master Wangyue had to retreat beyond the aura range of these four Dao-Seeking experts!

Four Dao-Seeking Realm Experts!

Li Qingping chuckled, “Chengang, how about this gift? Satisfied?”

Daoist Chengang narrowed his eyes. Of the three newcomers, he recognized two. One was a black-robed elder—the founder of the Xuanyou Sect, Xuan Youzi’s master—Daoist Gui Xuan!

The other was Li Chunxiao of the Ancient Star Sect—father of Li Qingchang and Li Qingping. The final one had a humanoid form but was blood-red from head to toe.

With two horns on his head, sword-like teeth in his mouth, and a monstrous face—A Dao-Seeking expert of the Blood Corpse Demon Clan!

“Chengang, imagine that—you’re still alive!”

Daoist Gui Xuan sneered coldly.

“If you’re still alive, of course I wouldn’t be dead,” Daoist Chengang replied with a snort, his expression growing grim.

One against three—he had no guarantee of victory.

“A mere first-level Dao-Seeking cultivator? I could crush you with a flick of my hand!”

The Blood Corpse Demon expert spoke with disdain.

“Indeed!”

“Chengang boy, you may be more talented than my two sons, but today—you will die without a doubt!”

Li Chunxiao drew a Demon-Subduing Pestle, a top-tier Dao-Seeking artifact of immense power. He had once used this very weapon to slay a fourth-level Dao-Seeking expert—And back then, he was only at the third level himself!

Among the three, Li Chunxiao was the strongest, having reached the Fifth Heaven of the Dao-Seeking Realm. Daoist Ghostshade and Blood Corpse Demon were both at the Fourth Heaven. Only Daoist Chengang was at the First Heaven, clearly at a disadvantage.

“Enough talk! Let me make the first move!”

The Blood Corpse Demon, unable to suppress his murderous intent, sought to kill Daoist Chengang and devour his blood. He had already reached the peak of the Fourth Heaven.

Devouring Chengang’s blood would surely allow him to break through to the Fifth Heaven!

The demon drew a massive crimson blade, dozens of meters long, and struck fiercely at Daoist Chengang. A powerful Dao law tore through space in an instant!

Yet, facing an opponent three levels above him, Daoist Chengang remained unusually calm. He slowly raised his sword and swung it. In that instant, the laws of the sword split heaven and earth!

A flash of sword light!

Splurt!

The blood-red blade shattered, and the Blood Corpse Demon was cleaved in two. Both his Nascent Soul and his Purple Palace Nascent Soul were utterly destroyed. Just like that, the powerful Blood Corpse Demon of the Dao-Seeking Realm fell!

Daoist Ghostshade’s eyes widened in shock. “Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”

The Blood Corpse Demon was a fellow Fourth Heaven expert like him!

How could he be slain with a single strike by someone supposedly at the First Heaven?

“He’s been hiding his strength! Despicable wretch!”

Li Chunxiao, seeing through the truth, looked grim. This Daoist Chengang was hundreds of years younger than him, yet his realm had surpassed his own!

“How did Uncle-Master Chengang do it?”

The Palace Lord of Moonwatching Palace exclaimed in astonishment.

“Uncle-Grandmaster Chengang isn’t in the First Heaven,” Chu Tian said with a smirk.

“He’s at the Seventh Heaven of the Dao-Seeking Realm!”

Seventh Heaven!

Daoist Chengang had concealed six entire realms!

He was never just a First Heaven cultivator.

“I gave you a chance earlier. You chose not to take it. Don’t blame me now.” Daoist Chengang said coldly.

With those words, he slashed out once more. Daoist Ghostshade screamed and fled in panic. He summoned a storm of ghostly shadows, forming a thick ghost wall to block the strike.

But before such a vast disparity in power, his spells were as fragile as paper. They were instantly shredded, and the sword light struck his body.

“No—!”

Daoist Ghostshade let out a final scream, and before he could finish speaking, he was reduced to ash by the sword light. Even his Nascent Soul was completely annihilated.

Two sword strikes, Two powerful Dao-Seeking Realm cultivators.

Dead.

Terrifying beyond words.
