The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 393 The Demise of the Hidden Sword School, the Big Boss Appears, the Power of Death Crossing, the Undead Legion!
Very few people in this world know about this great calamity; there are hardly any in the entire world. Ordinary people are busy and busy making a living, and their lives pass by in an instant.

However, there are still immortal beings in this world. There are some in the Central Plains, and there are also some in Japan, and there are more than one.

They were none other than the two sons of "Xiao Sanxiao": Xiao Jingtian (the Great Demon God) and Xiao Aoshi (the Big Boss).

The eldest son, Xiao Jingtian, cultivates the unparalleled skill "Four Absolute Techniques of Chaos" created by Xiao Sanxiao. He uses the essence of the sun and moon as a medium to control the wind, thunder, fire, and rain of heaven and earth. In addition, he possesses the bloodline of the dragon turtle, making his power astonishing. As long as Xiao Sanxiao does not appear, he is enough to sweep across the world. Even if Emperor Shitian encounters him, he will lose more often than he wins, and may even have no choice but to run away.

The second son, Xiao Aoshi, practices another unparalleled martial art called "Wan Dao Sen Luo," created by Xiao Sanxiao. Also created by Xiao Sanxiao, it can accommodate various different and even mutually exclusive martial arts for one's own use, encompassing everything. At its peak, it can even be used to guess the opponent's mind and gain the upper hand in battle.

Back then, Xiao Sanxiao knew about the impending calamity. Not only did he abandon his mother and two children, but he also left behind these two martial arts techniques, instructing his children not to practice them.

What's the difference between this and dropping gold into a beggar's bowl and telling him not to pick it up?
Having lived for so many years, Xiao Sanxiao knew countless martial arts techniques, yet he chose to leave behind only these two of his strongest ones.

Ironically, the two men, having mastered martial arts, went astray. Xiao Sanxiao, who had been away from home for fifteen years, tried his best to persuade them, but to no avail. So he decided to use force to teach them what it meant to be a father.

Unexpectedly, after the battle, Xiao Sanxiao was severely injured by the two brothers and taught a lesson.

Unable to defeat his two sons, Xiao Sanxiao then decided to sacrifice his own family for the greater good, poisoning them with the Great Compassion and Bliss Powder. However, seeing his sons suffering terribly from the poison, he couldn't bear it and gave them the antidote instead.

While spouting the rhetoric of sacrificing family for the greater good, he simultaneously poisoned and then cured the poison, a classic case of the left brain attacking the right, unable to distinguish between the two.

As expected, another unexpected event occurred. Xiao Sanxiao crashed and burned again. Xiao Jingtian, with his amazing physique, recovered quickly and then launched a counterattack against Xiao Sanxiao. After succeeding, he took Xiao Aoshi and fled. After this, the father and son of the Xiao family completely broke off relations.

Xiao Sanxiao wants to save the world and resolve the great calamity, but his two brothers oppose him and constantly push forward the "great calamity," staging a scene of father and son killing each other, and always thinking of spreading disaster to the land.

As a result, Xiao Sanxiao stopped and continued to play around in the human world, transforming into the Twelve Fears, letting the two brothers cause trouble in Dongying. In the end, he obtained the Monk Emperor's Heart-Reflecting Mirror. Logically speaking, he had thousands of years of internal energy, and the dragon turtle essence blood in his body was the most abundant.

If we couldn't beat them before, and we still can't beat them now, that just doesn't make sense.

The source of the so-called great calamity of the ages or the great calamity of the land lies within Xiao Sanxiao himself. He was the first immortal being and the one who lived the longest. Could he really not defeat his two sons?

In fact, these two sons were merely pawns created by Xiao Sanxiao himself. Their bloodlines, martial arts skills, ambitions, and hatreds were all guided by Xiao Sanxiao. Otherwise, the two brothers would not have had the mindset of pushing forward the Great Calamity of the Ages.

Leaving aside the two Great Demon God brothers, almost no one knows Jian Chen's origins. People in the martial arts world only know that he was adopted by Wuming from a young age, but Xiao Sanxiao witnessed his birth. Jian Chen was secretly placed outside Wuming's door by Xiao Sanxiao.

Only then did Jian Chen betray his master and ancestors by using a strange poison to cripple Wuming's entire power, rendering half a lifetime of cultivation futile, his Heavenly Sword Realm destroyed, and finally, he cultivated the Myriad Swords Return to the Origin.

But in Su Ming's view, the Heavenly Sword Supreme is an insurmountable peak in the way of swordsmanship. Wuming himself is a Heavenly Sword, and as long as he continues to grow, no one knows what level he will reach.

When the Heavenly Sword Realm was in existence, Nameless was a legend in the martial arts world. But after practicing "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One," he still had to join forces with Wind and Cloud to deal with Absolute God. Later, he completely became a supporting character and accessory to the protagonist.

Being poisoned and arrested became commonplace for him; if he hadn't lost his powers, none of this would have happened.

Xiao Sanxiao is the biggest mastermind behind the chaos in China. Not only did he not die, but he has continued to live.

……

The Hidden Sword School is another top power in Japan besides the Godless Palace. In recent years, the Hidden Sword School has continued to grow stronger and is becoming the number one sect in Japan. Even the Emperor of Japan is very wary of this sect, but he can do nothing about it.

Its leader, "Hayato Ten'in," is a top master in Japan, whose talent and aptitude are rare in the world. He is not only proficient in Qimen Dunjia, but also skilled in literature, martial arts, medicine, divination, and astrology. At just over twenty years old, he has already met few match.

He also has four great protectors, who are also masters of the time, and his disciples are all over Japan. He is known as the number one master in Japan.

However, on this day, the Hidden Sword School met its end.

Su Ming arrived at the Hidden Sword School dojo. The tall plaque bore the three large characters "Hidden Sword School" in a flamboyant style. The guards were burly and had a fierce air about them, far surpassing that of ordinary Japanese people.

He stared at the words on the plaque, his gaze seemingly piercing through the gate to a figure sitting at the very back. "A mere tiny country like yours dares to unleash a catastrophe that will last for millennia? Let's start with you!"

As soon as the words were spoken, an astonishing sword intent soared into the sky, the vast sword light resembling a pillar of light connecting heaven and earth.

People within a hundred miles saw the pillar of light and thought it was a divine miracle. The sword light was as dazzling as stars, hanging high in the sky, which was incredibly awe-inspiring.

However, the moment the sword energy appeared, the experts in Japan all changed color upon seeing the pillar of light, speechless with shock. They were astonished that such a vast sword energy existed in the world.

"Sword Twelve, slay the man!"

As the voice rang out, the dazzling and magnificent sword light suddenly surged, like the sun shining across the sky, or like a meteor falling from the heavens. One became ten, ten became a hundred, a hundred became a thousand, and so on, endlessly repeating itself. In an instant, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred miles was completely absorbed and condensed into a long river of sword energy.

Su Ming's divine will soared infinitely, merging with heaven and earth, overlooking the human world.

From a distance, it looks like a Milky Way hanging high in the sky.

"Now that you've wiped out the Hidden Sword School, it's time for you to come out!"

The long river swept across most of Japan like a howling gale, and the sword energy in the sky turned into a rain of swords. Each drop of sword rain was a life, and wherever it fell, all life was extinguished, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Guided by the Heavenly Cry Scripture, the various forces of the Eastern Seas were laid bare. All the Hidden Sword Stream's strongholds were killed by the sword energy, just like precision-guided missiles, accurately decapitating them.

"what?"

Within the Hidden Sword School, the sect leader, Hayato Ten'in, felt a chill run down his spine, as if death was imminent.

"Boom!"

A terrifying rain of swords fell, and many disciples of the Hidden Sword Sect didn't even have time to react before being instantly pierced through the chest by the sword energy and dying.

A few experts brandished their weapons and resisted with all their might. However, the sword energy falling from the sky seemed endless. Each sword was sharp and awe-inspiring, extremely restrained, yet concealing a deadly intent.

"No!"

Hayato Ten'in shattered the roof with a single palm strike, then reached out and grabbed a wisp of sword energy, only to see it relentlessly assault his body until it was finally obliterated.

"So domineering, such sharp sword energy!"

Hayato Ten'in stepped out of the broken room and looked around. In the Hidden Sword School, corpses were everywhere. The familiar disciples of the past had suffered heavy casualties, and only a few high-ranking members were left to huddle together and try to hold on.

He glanced at them, then his figure drifted away.

"Why did you attack the Hidden Sword School, senior?"

Su Ming stood on the seashore when a figure appeared behind him. The person wore a metal mask that covered his forehead above his nose, had jet-black hair, and his eyes revealed a cold killing intent that quickly disappeared, replaced by a fawning expression.

"Where is your master, the head of the sect?" Upon hearing this, Hayato Ten'in was shocked. Few people in the world knew that he had a master, so how did this person know? His secret was exposed in one sentence, and he was stunned. He lowered his head even further. "Senior knows my master? I can introduce you. I only ask that you stop and stop slaughtering the innocents of the Hidden Sword Sect."

Su Ming turned around and looked at him quietly. "Innocent? No one in this world is innocent, including me, you, and your master and the others."

Upon seeing the newcomer's face, Hayato Ten'in was even more astonished. He hadn't expected that a senior with such astonishing swordsmanship would be so young. He couldn't help but ask in surprise and anger, "Senior, are you really unwilling to stop?"

"Get your master out here!"

Immediately, Su Ming reached out and grabbed, an invisible rhythm pulsating within him. Above, the power of wind and clouds gathered, condensing into a gigantic tornado. Then, he raised a foot and slammed it down, a kick that seemed to topple the heavens and the earth, causing the ground to tremble and the surrounding ocean to explode with terrifying waves, a scene reminiscent of the end of the world.

The person before him was terrifyingly strong. Hayato Ten'in knew he couldn't persuade the other to stop, so he unleashed his strongest move.

"Heavenly Net Fire Path!"

In an instant, scorching heat emanated from his body, burning fiercely and transforming into raging flames. The crimson flames seemed to turn him into a human torch, and even the sand beneath his feet was scorched and melted by the flames.

The air seemed to ignite wherever it passed; the fist imprint streaked across the sky like a meteor piercing the night, trailing terrifying flames as it struck horizontally.

Faced with this move, Su Ming didn't even glance at it. With a flick of his sleeve, he unleashed a tremendous force. Hayato Ten'in felt as if he had crashed into a mountain, as if the sky had collapsed behind him, and the entire world was pressing down on him, threatening to crush him to pieces in the next instant. The flames on his body were instantly suppressed and nearly extinguished.

The next moment, a giant wave, tens of meters high, surged in from the shore and swept him away. He disappeared.

The tornado formed by the power of wind and clouds moved at high speed, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake, plunging the entire coast of the East China Sea into chaos and suffering.

……

The Miyamoto family.

Following the guidance of the unseen, Dugu Sword Saint found Miyamoto Yukino. Upon seeing her, the Sword Saint almost suffered a qi deviation, his power flowing backward, but this was not necessarily a bad thing.

Because of the reversal of his power, his frozen memories slowly resurfaced, and the effects of the Seven Lifetimes of Ruthlessness medicine he took in his childhood were weakened. Subsequently, he settled down in the Miyamoto family.

With the other party's help, he saw the letters he had left behind and once again grasped the sword that he and his wife had forged together. Thus, the sword saint rediscovered his emotions.

He didn't know Su Ming had come to Japan, but the moment Su Ming unleashed his sword intent, he knew the other party had arrived.

The Sword Saint stood on the rooftop, gazing at the boundless sword energy swirling across the sky. His eyes grew even brighter. "Is this his Sword Twelve?"

Miyamoto Yukine, dressed in a long gown, possessed a beautiful face and an air of gentle grace. "Is this the person you were talking about?"

The Sword Saint nodded. "Indeed, he is my greatest rival besides Nameless!"

After saying that, he held his wife's hand tightly and said in a deep voice, "I want to recreate the Holy Spirit Sword Technique, to complete it. Above Sword Twenty-Two, there is an even higher level, Sword Twenty-Three. What our predecessors could do, I can definitely do!"

"I believe in you, you can do it!"

……

"Why!"

"Kill!"

The shouts of killing shook the sky.

At the Hidden Sword Sect's stronghold, blood flowed on the ground as countless people rushed forward one after another, wielding various weapons of different levels of cultivation. At this moment, everyone was desperately wielding their weapons to resist the rain of swords from the sky.

No one tried to escape, because there was no way to escape. As long as they were within the Hidden Sword Sect's base or branch territory, everyone had to face this sword energy. However, there was too much of this sword energy, endless and inexhaustible, driving people to despair.

The ground was a scene of ruins and devastation, with countless corpses and broken swords scattered everywhere, a truly horrifying sight.

In less than an hour, the entire Hidden Sword Sect was slaughtered. Countless corpses piled up on the ground, blood flowed like a river, and shouts of killing and screams echoed continuously.

Such a commotion alarmed many forces, who sent people to investigate. However, upon seeing the sword energy falling from the sky, they had to stop, and the sword energy only landed within the Hidden Sword Sect.

Before long, news spread from various sects that the Hidden Sword School had disobeyed the Emperor and angered Amaterasu, thus incurring divine punishment.

The galaxy of sword energy that had hung in the sky dissipated only after the last disciple of the Hidden Sword School died, but still no one dared to step into it.

The next day, as the sun rose, golden light spilled across the shattered earth and the ruins, a shocking sight.

Yesterday's "Hidden Sword Style" is now a ruin.

In the ruins, corpses lay scattered haphazardly. Without exception, they were all martial artists from the Jianghu, their weapons still in hand, the lingering sword energy sending chills down one's spine, making one dare not touch them.

Even mountains of corpses and seas of blood couldn't compare to this.

As time went on, the Japanese forces discovered that the Hidden Sword School's headquarters, which spanned the entire island of Japan, had been completely wiped out at the same time. Only a few disciples who were not in the headquarters managed to escape with their lives, but they were not able to cause any significant trouble.

This news shocked the entire Japanese nation.

……

Su Ming arrived at the headquarters of the Hidden Sword Sect, found a clean spot to sit down, and found the ground around him littered with corpses, densely packed together. His sitting cross-legged among them looked eerie no matter how you looked at it.

"Death Crossing!"

His eyes narrowed, and he unleashed the Death Crossing, one of the six great demonic crossings. There were no fewer than several thousand corpses here, their death energy dense, making it perfect for testing Bai Suzhen's ultimate technique. Not only could the Death Crossing be used, but his own Nether Sea Returning to Origin Force could also transform the death energy within these corpses.

Suddenly, a deep voice rang out, "Excellent! For so many years, no one has dared to provoke me like this. You are the first! I never expected that a master like you would appear in the Central Plains. Since you're here, then stay here!"

"boom!"

A terrifying burst of energy swept out, and a ferocious figure descended from the sky, pulverizing all the surrounding corpses and instantly clearing a space. The man was as burly as a demon god, with his veins bulging and his face extremely ferocious.

Su Ming raised his head, his eyes calm. "Laughing at the world, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Rise!"

With a grab, he harnessed the death energy emanating from the corpse, causing it to stagger to its feet, grab its weapon, and charge towards the burly figure.

Sword energy and deathly aura intertwined, transforming this place into a ghostly realm. If an ordinary person were to witness this, they would likely be terrified and lose their senses—how could the dead be brought back to life?
