Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

"Hehehe!!"

"After a century, someone still remembers my name. Not bad, not bad! You little brat have some sense..."

The Heavenly Demon Elder was dressed in black. Although he could not be described as having unparalleled elegance, he still possessed a certain air of refinement.

Judging by his age, he's no more than twenty-five or twenty-six.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the word "elderly" in any way.

But now, no one on the field cares about his age, appearance, or demeanor.

A chill ran through everyone's hearts.

The opponent was clearly only one person, while they had thousands of martial arts heroes present. Yet, they couldn't muster any courage; they even felt as if they were being targeted by evil spirits.

"He's all alone! I don't believe he can kill us all. Let's all attack together and rid the world of this monster."

A bald grandmaster slapped his forehead hard.

Driven to the brink of despair, he remained righteous and fearless, determined to fight the demon before him to the death.

Many of those present were young martial artists, in the prime of their lives.

When no one is leading them, their minds go blank, and they don't think about much else.

Now that someone is taking the lead, everyone feels their blood rushing to their head.

If we could eliminate this fiend, even if they were just one of his members, they could proudly boast about it in the martial arts world.

Back in the day, I joined the Beggars' Sect at their assembly, fighting demons and upholding justice alongside heroes from all over the land!

"Kill him!"

"To rid the martial arts world of evil."

As they spoke, swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks...

Various weapons were drawn simultaneously, seemingly intent on tearing the demon before them to pieces.

"Heh heh, a bunch of idiots!!"

The Heavenly Demon Elder let out a sinister laugh. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his whole body, like a black ghost, instantly floated past everyone's eyes.

The experts present were either innate masters or grandmasters.

They all saw the dark figure, but there was no time to stop it.

So fast!

By the time they came to their senses, the dark figure had already arrived in front of the bald grandmaster.

The bald master, who had originally been clamoring to join the attack, had somehow retreated behind the others.

As soon as the battle began, he seemed ready to flee.

This left the group of martial arts practitioners who participated in the Beggars' Sect Heroes' Gathering momentarily stunned.

This shameless bastard actually wants to use all of them as cannon fodder and shields?

He then took the opportunity to slip away.

"Why me? Help!!"

The bald master looked utterly desperate and turned to run away.

But no sooner had he made a move than the Heavenly Demon Elder slapped him on the shoulder.

"In my life, I hate traitors more than anything! Next are hypocrites. You little bastard, you're both! How can I let you leave?"

As he spoke, the Heavenly Demon Elder unleashed the Heavenly Demon Technique from within his body.

The bald grandmaster, who had just been full of energy, suddenly felt a great sense of crisis.

"Help!!"

After he shouted those two words, all the true energy and essence in his body were completely drained.

Then everyone saw that the bald master's life force was instantly drained completely.

His body was nothing but a shell, limp and sprawled on the ground like noodles.

Many of the heroes and valiant figures who participated in the Beggars' Sect assembly were renowned figures in the martial arts world.

But at this moment, they felt their very souls trembling.

"That devil!"

"Is he the devil?"

"Is this the legendary Heavenly Demon Technique, capable of stealing the true energy and essence of others to strengthen oneself?"

"I wonder how many people's vital energy he has absorbed?"

"In the world today, I'm afraid no one else possesses the inner strength to compare with this demon."

There were too many martial arts figures present.

Even though the Heavenly Demon Elder has been missing for nearly a hundred years, there are still people who have heard of his legend.

Especially his unique martial art, the Heavenly Demon Technique.

Having witnessed his strength firsthand, even grandmaster-level experts were utterly powerless against him. Even more terrifying was that whatever he wanted to do, none of the experts present could stop him.

If he wanted to do it, he could do it surrounded by so many martial arts masters.

He can also instantly kill a single target in a crowd.

"escape!"

"Let's all attack together!"

When you have a hundred people, you'll find all sorts of different kinds.

There were several thousand heroes from the martial arts world present, along with masters from the Beggars' Sect.

Everyone has different thoughts.

Especially at this point, the scene was extremely chaotic.

Some people gathered around, some quietly prepared to escape, and others went to the Beggars' Sect members to seek protection.

"Chief Chen! Help!!!"

Among the thousands of martial artists present, who is the strongest?

People may not be aware of this.

Because no one knows if there are even more powerful experts hidden among them.

But Chen Changfeng is definitely one of the strongest people in their group right now.

If there's anyone in this group who could rival the Heavenly Demon Elder, it would probably be Chen Changfeng, the leader of the Beggars' Sect.

Li Changqing had just finished talking with the King of Wu and was now holding the golden statue in his hand, admiring it greatly.

He had already run out of skills to practice.

Now that we have the Golden Man of Heaven, even if there is only one, Li Changqing can apply his knowledge to other situations.

"Master, something terrible has happened! The Heavenly Demon Elder has come to cause trouble! Dozens of our fellow martial artists have already been killed."

This whole thing just happened at their Beggars' Sect's Heroes' Gathering.

Isn't this a slap in the face for him?

Anger inevitably rose in Li Changqing's heart.

"Let's go take a look!"

When Li Changqing arrived at the battlefield with his men.

He just happened to see the young man in black grabbing a grandmaster.

In his hands, the grandmaster was reduced to a dried-up corpse lying limp on the ground in just a few breaths.

"I never kill innocent people indiscriminately. Today I need a total of 199 meals, and I've already eaten 70. There are 129 meals left! Be good, and I promise that after we finish eating, I won't harm anyone else."

When Li Changqing turned around, he just happened to see the Heavenly Demon Elder instantly drain the true energy and essence of a Grandmaster.

Of course, I also heard his declaration about having a big meal.

Facing thousands of martial arts masters at the same time, this old man of the Heavenly Demon showed no fear whatsoever.

It felt more like entering a hunting ground.

Thousands of experts have become his prey in his eyes.

He didn't kill them all at once, not out of mercy.

Rather, it was because he wanted to raise these prey and enjoy them slowly later.

The thousands of martial arts heroes present shouted angrily and cursed incessantly.

For a time, no one dared to go up.

The old devil is too fast and ruthless.

Anyone who rushes forward first will be dealt with immediately.

Li Changqing froze for a few seconds before muttering incredulously, "An otherworldly version of the Star-Absorbing Technique?"

Absorb the power of others and use it for your own benefit.

As far as Li Changqing knew, it seemed that only the Northern Darkness Divine Art and the Star Absorbing Technique were available.

Unexpectedly, he was able to see the same item in this other world.
