From Five Animal Exercises to being hailed as a saint and ancestor

Fifteen against one.

In the desolate, gray land, the murderous aura was like a tangible ice spike, piercing to the bone.

Yao Mengkang stood alone, gripping a long sword with an ancient design and dark red blood patterns on its blade.

This was carefully selected from the spoils of a former unfortunate disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect. It seems that the original owner was also a skilled swordsman. The blade was heavy, and when wielded, it brought with it a fierce wind that tore through the air, making it more suitable for his domineering and fierce swordsmanship than the previous Qinggang longsword.

There was no radiant light emanating from him, only an extremely condensed baleful aura and icy killing intent, like an ancient ferocious beast ready to devour its prey, firmly locking onto the fifteen Heavenly Dao Sect disciples in front of him.

That look in his eyes was chillingly calm, as if he were looking at a flock of lambs to the slaughter.

The disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect had already recovered from the dizziness of the teleportation and quickly formed a "Thousand Lotus Sword Formation" that resembled a lotus flower and combined offense and defense.

The young man at the head, named Chen Xiao, had a cold and stern face and sharp, hawk-like eyes that quickly swept over Yao Mengkang.

"Spirit Sea Realm...it's the Spirit Sea Realm level!" Chen Xiao quickly realized.

"His aura is restrained, deep and imposing; this person's spiritual sea is probably far larger than an ordinary boundless spiritual sea, at least two hundred thousand zhang or more! He's a tough opponent!"

But immediately, a sense of pride belonging to the elites of the Heavenly Dao Sect and confidence in their own strength welled up in their hearts.

What about a spiritual sea of ​​ten thousand feet?

All fifteen of them were at the peak or even the perfected stage of the Spirit Sea Realm. Although they did not have the "Boundless" foundation, each of them had a Spirit Sea of ​​over ten thousand feet, making them outstanding among their peers!

Furthermore, they are proficient in combined attack formations, and their spiritual energy resonates with each other, making their power far more than a simple sum of their individual strengths!

Fifteen against one, the advantage is in my hands!

"Form ranks! Engage and annihilate!" Chen Xiao commanded sharply without hesitation. Since the enemy's killing intent was unwavering, there was no choice but to fight to the death!

"kill!"

The fifteen men roared in unison, their shouts shattering the surrounding gray mist!

The Thousand Lotus Sword Formation instantly reached its peak, with fifteen dazzling sword lights soaring into the sky like blooming lotus flowers. Countless sharp and unparalleled sword energies shot out like lotus stamens, weaving together into an impenetrable net of death swords that enveloped Yao Mengkang!

The sword net covered an extremely wide area, blocking all escape routes, clearly intending to finish him off in one fell swoop!

Faced with this terrifying offensive that would make even ordinary Yuan Dan realm cultivators shudder, Yao Mengkang made a move.

He didn't retreat, he didn't block, but instead... he moved forward!

Like a tiger pouncing on its prey!

"roar!"

Faintly, it seemed as if the roar of a fierce tiger could be heard!

Yao Mengkang's body was bursting with energy, and the "Tiger Form" of the Five Animal Frolics was instantly empowered!

He was like a tiger descending a mountain, carrying a fierce aura that could tear everything apart. He ignored everything and crashed directly into the net of swords that filled the sky!

At the same time, he raised his longsword, and on the blade, in addition to the condensed Silent Soul Blade Intent, faint starlight began to flicker and flow—the True Meaning of Stars, empowered!

Speed ​​skyrocketed! Reaction time was as fast as a ghost!

"Hiss hiss hiss—!"

Dense sword energy slashed at his body, but was blocked by an invisible barrier constructed from powerful blood and energy of stars. It made a teeth-grinding friction sound and left white marks, but it was difficult to truly break through the barrier!

Occasionally, one or two particularly sharp sword energies would pierce through his defenses, tearing his clothes and leaving shallow bloodstains on his resilient body, but that was all, nothing serious!

And his knife had already been swung!

Silent Soul Blade Technique - First Strike!

The blade flashed like gray lightning, not straight, but with a mysterious trajectory, like a nimble ape leaping and a crane soaring (the fusion of the Five Animal Frolics), precisely cutting into the weakest point of the sword net!

"break!"

A cold shout!

"Snap!"

Like shattered glass, the seemingly flawless sword net was actually cleaved open by this one strike!

Yao Mengkang moved like a fish, instantly bursting into the formation through the gap!

"What?!"

"How could his movements be so fast?!"

"The defense is that strong?!"

Exclamations of surprise rang out from the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

They never expected that the other side would dare to break the formation in such a brutal way, and that their speed, defense, and eyesight far exceeded their expectations!

"Change formation! Lotus Heart Strangulation!" Although Chen Xiao was alarmed, he remained calm and immediately ordered a change of formation.

The fifteen people moved with incredible speed and their sword energy swirled, closing like lotus blossoms, ready to crush Yao Mengkang, who had stormed into the center, completely!

However, once Yao Mengkang gets close, it's like a tiger entering a flock of sheep!

He pushed the Five Animal Frolics to its limit!

Sometimes it was like a savage bear shaking the earth, its blade heavy and forceful, shattering the incoming sword light; sometimes it was like a nimble deer swaying its head, its body twisting strangely to avoid fatal attacks; and sometimes it was like a bird soaring through the sky, suddenly leaping up, its blade light descending from above with the force of falling stars, slashing towards the key person at the heart of the formation!

The Soul-Suppressing Blade Intent is omnipresent!

The corrosive power targeting the soul constantly disturbed the minds of these Heavenly Dao Sect disciples, inevitably causing stagnation and flaws in their sword techniques.

Although they were both protected by the Pure Heart Jade Pendant, Yao Mengkang's Soul-Silent Blade Intent had been honed through countless battles and was no longer what it used to be. It was something that an ordinary jade pendant could not completely resist!

Yao Mengkang fully utilized his advantages in speed, agility, and defense.

He weaved through the encirclement of fifteen people, seemingly in perilous situations, yet he always managed to avoid vital points at the last second. Every strike he made was aimed at the key to the formation's operation, or at a slightly weaker disciple!

"Clang!" "Pfft!" "Ah!"

The sounds of metal clashing, blades piercing flesh, and screams rose and fell.

Yao Mengkang's fighting style is simple, direct, and efficient!

He didn't compete with his opponent in flashy moves or massive spiritual energy clashes. Instead, he used his reaction speed, defense, and other abilities far superior to those of his peers to engage in the most brutal and efficient close-quarters combat!

Every move he makes aims to severely injure or kill someone!

The more the Heavenly Dao Sect disciples fought, the more terrified and frightened they became!

Their prized combined attack formation appeared so clumsy and powerless against the opponent's completely unreasonable fighting style!

The opponent was like a slippery eel or a porcupine covered in thorns. They had strength, but they could not effectively hit the opponent. Instead, the opponent kept finding opportunities, and their formation was gradually eroded!

Chen Xiao's eyes were bloodshot. He had already gone all out, his swordsmanship was extremely fierce, but Yao Mengkang always dodged it by the slightest difference, or withstood it with his strange movements and strong defense.

He watched helplessly as his fellow disciples fell one after another, some with a single slash to the throat, others with their souls eroded by the Soul-Silent Blade Intent, clutching their heads and howling in agony as they were killed by subsequent blade strikes.

The advantage in numbers is rapidly disappearing.

Half an incense stick later, only five Heavenly Dao Sect disciples remained standing.

After an incense stick had burned, only Chen Xiao remained, covered in blood, leaning on his long sword, breathing heavily, his eyes filled with despair and resentment.

Yao Mengkang stood before him, his body bearing several wounds, yet his breath remained deep and his icy killing intent in his eyes showed no sign of diminishing.

The endurance provided by the million-foot-wide spiritual sea is terrifying.

"Why...why..." Chen Xiao asked hoarsely. He didn't understand why there was such a huge difference between the two people who were both at the Spirit Sea Realm.

Yao Mengkang did not answer, but simply raised the long knife in his hand.

The dark red blood patterns on the blade seemed to come alive after absorbing enough blood, radiating an eerie light.

Silent Soul Blade Technique - The Final Strike.

A flash of light, carrying with it the desolation of an end.

Chen Xiao's pupils dilated, and he collapsed to the ground, dead.

Yao Mengkang stood holding a knife, slightly panting, looking around at the corpses scattered all over the ground.

Fifteen elite Spirit Sea Realm cultivators from the Heavenly Dao Sect were all killed. The murderous aura emanating from him was almost tangible, diluting the surrounding aura of silence.

He flicked the blood off his blade, intending to inspect his spoils and quickly recover his strength in preparation for the next teleportation opportunity that might appear at any moment.

Meanwhile, in the heart of the Silent Soul Abyss, a humanoid soul beast was whispering softly.

"Hehehehe... Well done, brilliantly executed... This kid certainly didn't disappoint me..."

The humanoid soul beast seemed to grin: "Since that's how it is!"
