Villain: He intercepted the heroine at the beginning, and the protagonists collapsed

274: The pain of slow slicingChen Tianming hoisted the Seven Stars Sect Master high into the air.

He then formed a sword seal with his hand, and the Xuanyuan Sword instantly transformed into an endless blade, spinning and slicing like a flaming wheel.

The sharp edge moved from bottom to top.

Starting from the Seven Stars Sect Master’s feet, it sliced away piece by piece, block by block, carving his feet into hundreds of fragments that rained down from the sky!

A splatter of blood rained down upon the heads of the Seven Stars Sect disciples.

It was only then that everyone realized the Sect Master, who had protected them for centuries and served as their source of pride, was being carved up by Chen Tianming like mincemeat.

Every part of his body was being hacked away, piece by piece.

This time, Chen Tianming wasn’t just lopping off entire arms or legs.

He was methodically reducing the Sect Master’s physical body into countless fragments.

Feeling the agony of lingchi, the Seven Stars Sect Master could no longer hold back; he could no longer maintain his previous composure and immediately let out a loud roar.

”Chen Tianming! You will meet a horrible death!”

Yet, what caused the Seven Stars Sect Master even greater despair was this:

Below, on the Seven Stars Holy Altar, blood splattered everywhere.

Yet, not a single person moved to avoid it.

The disciples below were frantically scrambling to snatch up his flesh.

Even the disciples’ sword attendants—ordinary people—could not resist groveling on the ground to lick the blood of a Nascent Soul powerhouse!

At this moment, the Seven Stars Holy Altar resembled a terrifying, man-eating purgatory from the Asura Realm.

Seeing this scene, the Seven Stars Sect Master fell into complete despair.

But Chen Tianming had no intention of letting him off.

”You’ve lost your limbs now. If I were to infuse you with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at this moment, what do you think would happen?”

He acted immediately.

Chen Tianming drew in an endless torrent of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, forcibly driving it into the Seven Stars Sect Master’s body.

With his meridians already shattered, his body was like a tattered sack being flooded with a massive volume of water as the spiritual energy was forced inside.

In an instant, his wounds, which had seemed relatively stable, suddenly became unstable.

The sack, already riddled with countless tears, was instantly burst open by the heavy weight of the water!

With a shriek, countless golden fissures began to appear all around the Seven Stars Sect Master’s body.

One could even see his bones and internal organs inside.

Chen Tianming laughed heartily, having already located the Sect Master’s Nascent Soul.

To ensure the Seven Stars Sect Master’s Nascent Soul wouldn’t be lost, Chen Tianming grabbed it directly and used his own powerful spiritual energy to suppress it.

Chen Tianming’s mind was already racing with various tortures he could inflict upon the Seven Stars Sect Master.

Just as Chen Tianming was about to repeat his actions,

a powerful pressure suddenly swept in from the distance.

A massive black cloud descended from the mountain peak.

Two figures leaped down from the black cloud.

Following closely behind them were six familiar figures.

They were the six Seven Stars Sect powerhouses whom Chen Tianming had spared.

Seeing the sect where they had grown up and cultivated reduced to a living hell, the six were unable to accept the reality before them.

One of the women was so incensed that she burst into tears on the spot.

At this moment, the two people they had summoned spoke coldly.

”Who is it! Who is so wicked that they would commit such atrocities!”

Chen Tianming flew before them without hesitation.

”It’s me. What’s the matter, you two? Is this any of your business?”

The two exchanged glances. The one on the left, dressed in a yellow robe and holding a whisk, had small eyes that glinted with a fierce light, making him look repulsive.

”I am the Sect Master of the Heavenly Thunder Sect. I am a man of integrity, and I lead the Heavenly Thunder Sect. Now that such a thing has happened to the Seven Stars Sect, I naturally must intervene!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianming raised the Seven Stars Sect Master’s Nascent Soul in his hand.

A mixture of flesh, blood, and spiritual energy, the infant-like energy core still bore the Seven Stars mark.

To any cultivator, however, the sight was unimaginably gruesome.

Even the two Sect Masters were somewhat repulsed.

”Ah! You devil! To commit such a cruel act—I shall execute you right now!”

At that moment, the six Golden Core cultivators finally realized.

”What! That’s the Sect Master?”

They looked down at the blood covering the ground.

”This! How is this possible!”

Chen Tianming snorted coldly.

”You so-called righteous sects are truly shameless! You forcibly broke through to the Golden Core stage and tried to drag me down as a scapegoat, yet now you call me a devil?”

”What’s the matter? I was struck by ten bolts of heavenly thunder, and I’m not allowed to retaliate?”

But if these three great sects were reasonable, the common people in this small world wouldn’t have to live such arduous lives.

The two Sect Masters exchanged a glance. The Demon Sect Master, dressed in a black robe with red patterns, felt his eyes turn crimson.

The veins all over his body bulged, and he erupted with a crimson light that struck terror into the heart.

The space around his body began to distort violently.

It was forcibly converted into the demonic energy of the Demon Sect and surged into the Demon Sect Master’s body.

A pair of blood-red butterfly wings formed behind his back.

As he hovered in mid-air, a twisted horn gradually grew from his forehead.

This was what a true Demon King looked like!

No wonder the Demon Sect was so misunderstood by the world!

Chen Tianming snorted coldly.

”Forcibly drawing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into one’s own body? It seems that all of you in the three great sects have long since mastered this technique!”

The two Sect Masters exchanged a glance and shouted,

”What do you mean by that?!”

Chen Tianming’s lips curled upward.

”I’ve just seen this technique used countless times here in the Seven Stars Sect. It seems your two sects truly gained something from attacking the Demon Sect’s mountain gate; all your disciples have already learned the Demon Venerable’s cultivation method!”

”According to your logic, does mastering the method of entering the demonic path make each and every one of you a Demon King?”

After speaking, Chen Tianming raised the golden Nascent Soul in his hand once more.

”Isn’t this fellow the same? A dignified Sect Master, forcibly absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth, shattering his own Golden Core to forcibly condense a Nascent Soul, all to summon heavenly thunder down upon me!”

”I would like to ask: is this considered an honorable and upright fighting technique among your righteous sects?”

The two Sect Masters were left speechless.

They could not explain themselves to Chen Tianming.

After a moment of thought, the Heavenly Thunder Sect Master resorted to sophistry.

”You are merely at the Qi Refining stage, how could you possibly survive ten bolts of heavenly thunder? Heh, I suspect you have an expert backing you. Call him out immediately, and I might spare your life!”

Chen Tianming’s expression turned cold.

”Are you implying that the Seven Stars Sect Master reduced himself to a cripple?”

As he spoke, Chen Tianming took a step forward.

A loud boom echoed.

Before everyone’s eyes, it felt as if a towering pagoda had descended from the sky.

Chen Tianming continued to walk forward, and the terrifying pressure grew ever more intense.

One pagoda became two, then ten pagodas stood together.

At the same time, countless pagoda spires began to rain down.

Layer after layer of pagodas piled up as they crashed down, the deafening roar causing countless people to tremble.

For some reason, everyone saw what appeared to be a twenty-thousand-story pagoda rising from the ground before them.

The terrifying height and the astonishing miracle left everyone present holding their breath.
