Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

A condescending indifference, a disregard for all living beings. With a flick of the sword, nothing in the world is worth cherishing, and anyone can be regarded as a pig or a dog.

This is the Holy Spirit Sword Technique, this is Sword Twenty-Three. Unlike the Heavenly Sword, which represents peace and overflows with boundless vitality, this is the Demonic Sword that stifles all life and brings death!

Not to be outdone, Li Xiuyuan unleashed his demonic essence from his lower dantian, which flew out of his body and formed the soul of an unparalleled heavenly demon, intending to deal with Sword Saint's Sword Twenty-Three.

Currently, only by using his soul form can he attack the Sword Saint, and he needs to thoroughly comprehend this sword technique.

In addition, the Buddha in Li Xiuyuan's upper dantian was also carefully observing and constantly deducing the Holy Spirit Sword Technique, comprehending this inhuman killing sword.

Li Xiuyuan pointed his index finger, and boundless killing intent erupted in an instant, merging into the seemingly endless sword light. The earth and sky appeared to be stained with blood in an instant, filled with boundless killing intent.

The will of the sword and the will of the sword merged almost flawlessly at this moment. This was both the surging killing intent driven by the human heart and the unique killing aura of the deadly sword technique.

The chilling sword energy penetrated to the bone marrow, and the icy killing intent froze the soul!

Once this sword is drawn, the sun, moon, stars, and time itself vanish!

The moment this sword was drawn, blood congealed and the sky darkened, causing the world to lose its color!

Once this sword is drawn, it will destroy the heavens and the earth, and its power is unstoppable!

The moment this sword was drawn, the entire universe froze!

Chapter 74 Time Flies Like Water

Sixteen Deadly Swords!

The sword was finally drawn.

The scene was desolate and bleak, deathly silent and chaotic. Just by looking at the changes in the sword technique, one felt paralyzed, as if life were slipping away.

Time flies, youth fades in an instant!

This sword strike caused life to slip away, and all those in the three training grounds whose eyes fell upon it were captivated by its power.

Those whose lives were nearing their end aged rapidly, their hair turned completely white, and they looked lifeless, as if they were about to die at any moment.

Even though they are young people, they have aged for decades, as if they have wasted ten years of their lives.

Everyone enveloped by Li Xiuyuan's sword intent had the same feeling, but unfortunately, even Xiong Ba could not escape the Twenty-Three Swords and the Sixteen Deadly Swords.

Flowers bloom and wither, grass and trees wither and fade. What was once just a tender sapling grows into a towering tree in an instant, while those towering trees wither away in the blink of an eye due to the passage of time.

This sword should be called the Sword of Time's Passing!

This is a clash of time and space. If Sword Twenty-Three is a sword that defies fate and changes destiny, then Sword Sixteen is a sword that defies fate and takes lives.

The passage of time is irresistible.

Time vs. Space!

As the saying goes: Space is king, time is supreme!

Among the three thousand great paths, both laws rank in the top ten. As for which is superior, only time will tell.

However, the duel between Li Xiuyuan and the Sword Saint will depend on whose understanding is deeper. Originally, the Deadly Sword Technique was just a sword technique filled with boiling killing intent, but it has been constantly transformed in his hands.

Although Yan Shisan had mastered the Fifteen Deadly Swords, he could not control the killing sword, so he committed suicide in front of Xie Xiaofeng.

But Li Xiuyuan's Fifteen Deadly Swords can be perfectly controlled and are extremely powerful!

As for the Sixteen Deadly Swords, they contain a trace of the laws of time. Even if it's just a trace, it's more than enough in the world of Fengyun.

Moreover, since Li Xiuyuan has traveled through time and space, if we talk about the laws, time and space are probably the fastest to comprehend them!

This was also Li Xiuyuan's carefully planned confrontation with the Sword Saint. If he could learn the Heaven-Destroying and Earth-Severing Sword Twenty-Three, then his attack methods would be further enhanced.

Most importantly, one can gradually comprehend the subsequent spatial laws based on this sword, which is what Li Xiuyuan wanted.

Rumble!

The two swords met head-on, locked in a fierce battle, neither willing to back down!

This collision will undoubtedly ignite a spark of martial arts brilliance far surpassing even the most magnificent rainbow piercing the sun or a meteor streaking across the sky.

Ultimately, it will come at the cost of one side's downfall, or even mutual destruction.

The clouds in the sky were completely split apart, with tiny cracks appearing, which then closed up again in an instant.

With a deafening roar, the sword technique of the Twenty-Three Swords was not completely destroyed, but it was shaken by the strong shock and was no longer perfect!

The light in the surrounding space, which had been completely dimmed, suddenly became bright again.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan was surprised, and chuckled, "You're quite good!"

The Sword Saint's name was Dugu Jian, and he was the elder brother of the Lord of Wushuang City.

He was obsessed with swords throughout his life, and his swordsmanship was unparalleled in the world, especially his Holy Spirit Sword Technique, which no one could break.

But later, the Sword Saint fought against the martial arts legend Nameless and was defeated, after which he retired into seclusion.

Three months ago, the Sword Saint sensed that his life was coming to an end. He returned to the martial world for the sake of Wushuang City, determined to fight Xiong Ba to the death and reclaim everything that Wushuang City had lost.

On his deathbed, he comprehended the Twenty-Three Swords Technique. By a twist of fate, Li Xiuyuan faced off against the Sword Saint, but he had to admire this man.

Sword Saints follow the path of martial arts, and their lifespan is shorter than that of cultivators. Unless they enter the Dao through martial arts and reach the primordial spirit realm, their lifespan can be greatly extended.

At this moment, the Sword Saint smiled, as if he had met his match, but his expression quickly crumbled, revealing a hint of helplessness and regret...

The Sword Saint is dead!

Li Xiuyuan's cold gaze swept over the crowd in the three training grounds, and he said calmly, "Someone, give the body of the Sword Saint down the mountain a proper burial!"

This is his respect for the swordsman. He is also a swordsman. If he has an afterlife, you will surely take the Sword Saint under your wing.

At the same time, the Supreme Heavenly Demon that had flown out returned to Li Xiuyuan's body. He had perfectly copied the Sword Saint's Heaven-Destroying and Earth-Severing Technique: Sword Twenty-Three.

As for the first twenty-two moves of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique, Li Xiuyuan could deduce them completely after seeing the sword.

hum!

The group, under immense pressure, suddenly vanished, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. But they all knew in their hearts that the sword hanging above their heads had not completely left.

Li Xiuyuan looked down at the crowd below and said coldly, "Anyone who has a problem with my Demonic Sect can step forward and settle this according to the rules of the martial world."

He paused and then said, "Afterwards, I will never cause you any more trouble, but swords have no eyes, so everyone should be careful!"

As he spoke, his cold gaze swept over the crowd, emanating a deep, chilling aura that made people afraid to look directly at him.

hum!

The leaders of the various sects, though filled with resentment upon hearing this, would not dare to rush out and seek death, for they had already witnessed the fate of the Sword Saint.

"Demon Lord, our Qingcheng Sect is willing to follow in your footsteps to the death."

As a lackey, Qingmu Daoren was quite adept at flattery and quickly found his place.

"That's right! The Iron Eagle Faction is willing to join the Demonic Sect and follow them to the death!"

"Me too, me too!"

…………

A smile bloomed on Li Xiuyuan's face. He nodded and chuckled, "Alright, anyone willing to join my Demonic Sect will be protected. As for others, I can't control them!"

The meaning behind his words was self-evident: as long as you join the Demonic Sect, they won't cause you any trouble; otherwise, hehe!

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly someone interrupted them; the voice was soft, but it reached everyone's ears.

A black figure flew swiftly from the foot of the mountain, like a torrent of true energy cascading from the heavens, rushing upwards towards the Third Branch School.

Chapter 75 Myth Without a Name

The man's arrival was so powerful that it tore a gap in the clouds on the horizon, allowing the midday sun to shine through.

what!

Li Xiuyuan was shocked. Who dared to stop him? When the person appeared, he finally knew who it was!

The man was middle-aged; his face was handsome but thin, and he looked somewhat haggard with graying temples and a slightly unkempt beard. He was not particularly noticeable.

But upon closer inspection, one will find that this person's deep eyes contain an inexplicable sense of vicissitude, as if he has experienced countless sorrows and hardships, yet all of them have been transformed into a detached and indifferent demeanor.

There are no more than a handful of people in the world with this level of skill, and this person must be Nameless!

Neither Di Shitian nor Wu Wudi had any reason to stand here, and given Wuming's kind-hearted nature, he was the most likely candidate to appear.

"Uncle in black!"

Bu Jingyun hesitated for a moment before replying that this person was the same expert who had rescued him more than a decade ago when the Huo family was massacred by the World Society.

Because the nameless man in the past was unwilling to reveal his name and often wore all black, Bu Jingyun could only call him "Uncle in Black".

When Bu Jingyun was teaching Jian Chen swordsmanship, he also learned a move called "Unspeakable Grief" from the sidelines, which became the foundation of his swordsmanship.

Unfortunately, although Nameless was amazed by Bu Jingyun's swordsmanship talent, he refused to accept Bu Jingyun as his disciple because Bu Jingyun was too full of hatred and resentment, and feared that the swordsmanship would not be passed on to the right person.

After that, Bu Jingyun had no choice but to infiltrate the World Society and wait for an opportunity to take revenge.

Wuming said calmly, "Oh, is it a surprise? I didn't expect you to join the Demonic Sect."

"nameless!"

These words were spoken by Xiong Ba. Before Li Xiuyuan, the person he feared most was naturally the Mythical Nameless! Otherwise, with Xiong Ba's strength, he would have already unified the world.

Wuming said calmly, "Xiongba, you are also a powerful figure, but I never expected you to submit to someone else."
