Chapter 441: Chapter 441: Slaughtering God like Slaughtering a Dog

Since these people mistakenly believed he was from the Sword Pavilion, Ye Yun decided not to bother explaining.

Sword Pavilion it was, then.

Regardless, none of these individuals, who had committed heinous crimes, would survive today.

This included Skyfire God Honored, a man who led a life of debauchery and had countless misdeeds to his name; he especially could not be allowed to live.

”Master,” Skyfire God Honored surreptitiously sent a voice transmission to the old man in black, his face etched with panic, ”this man’s swordsmanship is extremely profound. You must be cautious!”

The old man in black shot Skyfire God Honored a cold glance, wishing he could slap him dead. This is simply bolstering the enemy’s prestige while deflating our own spirit! he fumed internally. He was a proud Cultivator at the Fourth Level of the Divine Sovereign Realm; how could he fear a mere First Level Divine Sovereign Realm Cultivator? Even if the opponent was from the Sword Pavilion, he was alone. The elder feared nothing. They currently held the absolute advantage, both in numbers and individual combat strength.

”Master is right,” Skyfire God Honored said sheepishly, his old face flushing. ”As your disciple, I was just flustered. When I realized our opponent was a Successor of the Sword Pavilion, I panicked...”

”Reflect on your actions properly!” The old man in black flicked his sleeve, snorted coldly, and rose into the air.

In the void, he and Ye Yun faced each other from a distance.

On the other side, Liu Yiyi and Ning Fangzhi had already engaged in battle.

BOOM!

Two heaven-shaking sword lights collided without any flourish, erupting with a tremendous roar. A powerful shockwave pulsed outwards in all directions.

The old man in black frowned, waved his sleeve, and the shockwaves instantly vanished.

When he saw that the two combatants were evenly matched in their first exchange, his desire for that red God-level armor intensified.

I must obtain that God-level armor, the elder in black vowed internally.

”You old fiend, if you have any powerful Divine Skills, hurry up and use them!” Ye Yun said calmly, holding his sword horizontally across his chest.

WHOOSH!

The instant his voice fell, black flames, half a meter high, suddenly erupted around the old man in black. These fiercely burning black flames looked exceedingly eerie, continuously raging and emitting terrifying fluctuations of power.

”So this is the Nether Black Flame,” Ye Yun smiled faintly, completely unfazed by the elder’s display of power. ”I didn’t expect you to be a Demonic Cultivator proficient in fire-attribute Divine Skills.”

”Humph! Sooner or later, you people of the Sword Pavilion will pay a bloody price for your arrogance and conceit!” The old man in black’s face turned cold, his expression filled with contempt. After speaking, black flames even ignited within his eyes.

”Go!”

With a forward push of his hands, over a dozen black fire serpents suddenly flew out into mid-air. These black fire serpents, formed from Nether Black Flame, were dozens of meters long. Their momentum was astonishing as they rushed over with extreme ferocity, bringing waves of intense heat.

”Haha! The fire serpents are too small. Don’t you... have a Fire Dragon?” Ye Yun asked mockingly, a look of disappointment on his face as he regarded the black fire serpents.

”To deal with a trifling First Level Divine Sovereign Realm Cultivator like you, one Divine Skill is more than enough,” the old man in black sneered. Even a Cultivator at the Third Level of the Divine Sovereign Realm couldn’t dodge this Nether Black Serpent Divine Skill, let alone this mere First Level Divine Sovereign Realm Sword Cultivator.

Ye Yun remained indifferent, his gaze calm. He didn’t move. He chose not to attack but to defend, holding his sword across his chest and employing the Sword of Life Realm.

The reason Ye Yun didn’t want to kill the old man in black too quickly was to create a good dueling opportunity for Liu Yiyi. If he killed the elder with a single strike, Ning Fangzhi would undoubtedly be scared to death, losing any mood to duel Liu Yiyi.

Skyfire God Honored looked up at the giant black fire serpents that filled the sky, their presence overwhelming and intimidating. A triumphant expression appeared on his face. With Master taking action this time, that Sword Pavilion fellow is sure to die, he thought gleefully. Sword Pavilion disciples are too arrogant. They have the courage of a swordsman but are truly foolish. Entering the Cloud Mark Cave alone and daring to provoke our six Divine Sovereigns—isn’t that courting death?

Just as Skyfire God Honored was gloating, an event unfolded that nearly made his eyeballs pop out. He was shocked to discover that the myriad black fire serpents filling the sky were being drawn by a strange force, drifting towards the silver Longsword. When they were about thirty feet from the silver Longsword, the black fire serpents began to rapidly vanish, inch by inch. All the attacks from his Master’s Divine Skill had been effortlessly neutralized.

What kind of swordsmanship is this? Skyfire God Honored shuddered. It’s truly terrifying! A dreadful premonition rose in his heart. Even my Master might not be able to break through such powerful defensive swordsmanship.

”Master, let me assist you!” Skyfire God Honored shouted, soaring into the sky without hesitation to stand beside the old man in black.

At this moment, the black-clad elder was also staring at Ye Yun, his face a mask of shock. This Sword Pavilion’s sword technique... it’s truly too powerful! he thought. Despite a three-realm difference in cultivation, this White Clad Sword Cultivator had effortlessly nullified his Divine Skill.

Seeing Skyfire God Honored suddenly appear, a rare smile touched the black-clad elder’s lips. This disciple... he’s not bad, he mused. We’re deep within the Cloud Mark Cave now, with no outsiders around. Who cares about righteousness or principles? We’ll just gang up on him!

「In another direction.」

BOOM!

Another deafening explosion echoed as Liu Yiyi and Ning Fangzhi clashed head-on once more, both sent flying backward.

”Liu Yiyi, you’re not all that great!” Ning Fangzhi roared with laughter. Even wearing God-level armor, Liu Yiyi wasn’t much stronger than him. At least I can hold out for a draw, Ning Fangzhi thought.

It’s about time... Liu Yiyi muttered to herself. Looking at Ning Fangzhi’s arrogant smile, her face grew colder. She had just been testing how much her combat strength would improve after donning the God-level Red Tassel Battle Armor. After two consecutive exchanges, she had a clear understanding. Next, I’ll unleash the Sword of Death Realm from the Binary Sword Chant. A single strike to kill. I will cut Ning Fangzhi down!

Liu Yiyi took a deep breath, her longsword quivering. Suddenly, her entire form vanished, transforming into a breathtaking sword light that instantly appeared before Ning Fangzhi.

”This—?!” Ning Fangzhi, who had been gloating, was aghast at the sudden appearance of the sword light. Strangely, enveloped by this sword light, he found himself unable to muster even a shred of resistance.

SCHLICK!

The sword pierced the center of his brow, and his Primordial Spirit within his sea of consciousness was instantly obliterated.

In that moment, Ning Fangzhi perished.

”What? Fifth Brother is dead, just like that?”

Below, the three Divine Sovereign Realm Cultivators watching the battle were utterly shocked to see Ning Fangzhi suddenly fall. Without any hesitation, they soared into the sky, charging towards Liu Yiyi.

A white shadow flashed.

Ye Yun suddenly materialized before Liu Yiyi like a phantom.

”Yiyi, leave these guys to me,” Ye Yun smiled. The next moment, as his sword light flared, he vanished.

SCHLICK! SCHLICK! SCHLICK!

A stunning sword light crisscrossed the void. The heads of the three attacking Divine Sovereign Realm Cultivators were brutally blown apart by Ye Yun’s single sword art. Even their Primordial Spirits were annihilated on the spot.

Witnessing this scene from the side, the black-clad elder and Skyfire God Honored felt a chill run down their spines. They shivered, their very souls quaking from the depths.

Is this Sword Cultivator from the Sword Pavilion... really only at the First Level of the Divine Sovereign Realm? they both wondered in horror. Why... why is he slaughtering Cultivators at the Second and Third Levels of the Divine Sovereign Realm as if they were mere dogs?

”Master, we’re finished!” Skyfire God Honored’s face was deathly pale. Gripped by terror, his will to live completely evaporated. His body swayed, and he nearly collapsed.
