<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"This... this is the real Third Elder!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing this scene, even though Su Jingzhen and the others were slow to react, they now understood.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Initially, he had thought that the Third Elder was the reincarnation of an alien entity sent to the Emperor Realm.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He hadn't expected it to be more like a soul possession.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Now that the alien entity had been forcibly expelled from the Third Elder's body by the Sword Ancestor's sword energy, the Third Elder had regained his true self.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But it was already too late.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The core of the Immortal Emperor had been destroyed, and the life force was irreversibly draining away. Even if the Sword Master intervened now, it would be impossible to save him.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"I... I am so unwilling..."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Third Elder looked around, but all he could do was to utter these bitter words.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Then, he fell from the sky. While the body of an Immortal Emperor might exist for a long time, his soul had completely dissipated.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Just when everyone thought that the situation had calmed down, they saw the sword energy around Lin Ying begin to activate.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It shot towards a corner of the void.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"The Sword Ancestor's sword energy was already overwhelming. What is she trying to do now?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen and the others, as well as the leaders of the first- and second-rate forces who had rushed over to help, were filled with confusion.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">When Lin Ying - or rather, the Shadow Sword Immortal - released her sword energy, it strangely pierced through space. When it reappeared, it was already at the location she had locked onto.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As the eerie sword energy erupted, a pure and intense demonic aura emerged from that spot.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">A scream of agony came along with it.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The demonic aura gradually condensed into a figure, unmistakably the same alien entity that had possessed the Third Elder.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But now, the aura around this figure was rapidly weakening.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Evidently, the sword energy of the Shadow Sword Immortal had dealt a fatal blow.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The figure twisted violently, its eyes filled with unwillingness.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But no matter how much it struggled, it couldn't stop its life force from dissipating, nor could it escape the sealed space. Finally, it seemed to accept its fate.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Its expression became sinister and maniacal.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Hahahaha, I am just a vanguard. In this life, you will never be able to stop the footsteps of the demon race.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Demon Lord has awakened. Prepare for carnage!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Amidst its laughter and curses, the figure's illusory body completely dissipated.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The thick demonic aura condensed into a black diamond-shaped crystal that floated in the air.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Zhang Xiu reached out her hand, and it fell into her palm.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At the same time, the space within several miles, which had been frozen, returned to normal.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The aura around Zhang Xiu and Lin Ying also decreased.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Now, the two women looked slightly pale.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But they were smiling.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, the leaders of the first- and second-rate forces finally arrived, looking somewhat awkward.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Greetings, Sword Ancestor! Greetings, Shadow Sword Immortal!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Greetings, Sword Ancestor! Greetings, Shadow Sword Immortal!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"..."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">These people were indeed quick-witted. Although they hadn't made it in time to help eradicate the demon, they immediately knelt on one knee before Zhang Xiu and Lin Ying, swearing their loyalty.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Who couldn't see the writing on the wall?

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Having unleashed such powerful sword energy, who could guarantee that they only had one such strike?

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even though they were only at the early Immortal Lord stage now, as reincarnations of ancient powerhouses, their cultivation would surely skyrocket like a rocket.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Moreover, in their eyes, since the Sword Ancestor had successfully reincarnated and awakened, she should naturally take over Sword Land.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If that were the case, it would be a different kind of order reconstruction.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If they clung to Zhang Xiu's coattails now, they would have a head start in Sword Land and the entire northern region of the Emperor's Realm.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Thinking about this, these people couldn't help but feel excited.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"No need for this. We are merely junior disciples."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Zhang Xiu smiled lightly at them.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even though she was telling the truth, no one believed her.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After all, the sword energy she had unleashed earlier was too stunning.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even the Sword Master didn't know that the current Sword Ancestor was controlled by Zhang Xiu's consciousness.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, the square in front of the Sword Qi Corridor had quieted down.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The battle in the sky continued.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">No one knew how the battle in the chaotic void would go.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But the Sword Master suddenly appeared next to Su Jingzhen and the others.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His expression was calm, and his aura was as sharp as the most formidable heavenly sword.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He coldly glanced at the kneeling leaders of the first- and second-rate forces, making them shiver.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They knew very well that if Sword Land remained under the control of the Sword Master, they would inevitably face retribution.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After all, they had always been under Sword Land's protection and had even received its favors from time to time. Yet, at the critical moment, they had chosen to stand by and watch.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This was absolutely taboo in a hierarchical relationship.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"I will settle accounts with you later!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Sword Master coldly addressed them again.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Then, he looked up at the sky.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">There, the top Immortal Kings from the Nethergod Sect and other forces were still battling with Sword Land's Immortal Kings.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The battle was still fierce, and many were seriously injured.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Sword Master took a step forward and immediately appeared high in the sky.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Without a word, he unleashed his aura.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Under normal circumstances, non-Sword Land disciples who entered the core area of the Sword Land Headquarters would be sentenced to death.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The sword master held an iron sword in his hand, and his sword intent surged to its peak.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The legendary Heaven-Splitting Sword Qi was instantly activated.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">With a single sword stroke, the top twelve Immortal Kings were decapitated.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Normally, even an ordinary Immortal Emperor would have trouble defeating twelve Immortal Kings.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But who was the Sword Master? The aura he exuded had now reached the seventh stage of Immortal Emperor Realm.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He was a genuine high-level Immortal Emperor!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">A true powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of this world.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In comparison, Li Lingxi, the sect master of a peerless force, had only recently advanced to the Immortal Emperor realm.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Wu Lingtian, the hall master of the Martial God Hall, was at most at the fourth or fifth stage of Immortal Emperor Realm.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He was not of the same generation or level as the Sword Master.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">With a single sword stroke, the battle in the sky was suppressed.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Now, the kneeling leaders in the square and the many Immortal Kings of Sword Land high in the sky looked at the Sword Master in awe.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As for the Immortal Lords and Immortal Kings who had rebelled against Sword Land alongside the Third Elder, the Sword Master did not kill them outright.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, their eyes were filled with despair.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They knelt in the air, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Although they were usually high and mighty figures ruling over their own domains, the Sword Master now loomed over them like an insurmountable mountain, holding their lives in his hands.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Who wouldn't be afraid in such a life-and-death situation?

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, the Sword Master didn't even glance at them.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He continued to look around the void with a domineering gaze.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Friends in the shadows, who else wants to give it a try?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Since the Sword Master had chosen to make a grand entrance, he was here to settle the scene.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As his voice fell, the void remained silent.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Before Zhang Xiu and Lin Ying had displayed their overwhelming sword energy, and before the Sword Master had revealed his Seventh Stage Immortal Emperor Realm cultivation, the Sword Master knew very well that there were not just one or two sect masters from the top ten sects hidden in the void around Sword Land Headquarters.
