Who gave you permission to refine demons like this?

Facing the pile of withered bones before him, Jin Feiyang simply waved his sleeve, and a whistling wind emanated from his hand.

The rows of corpses all turned to dust and drifted in the air.

"Not bad, these Nine Blades Sect members are all dressed very well."

Zhao Yan and the others dared not speak, but forced themselves to suppress their emotions.

At this moment, a jade pendant flew out from Jin Feiyang's sleeve, emitting rays of light.

"Is everything taken care of?"

Lei Feiming's voice came from the jade pendant.

"It's all done. All the disciples of the Nine Blades Sect have been executed."

"Including Zhang Baisheng, now you can go ahead and do it."

Amidst the rustling leaves in the strong wind, a faint "okay" reached Jin Feiyang's ears.

On the other side, Lei Feiming gently pinched a fallen leaf that had fallen in front of the Nine Blades Sect. He stood in front of the Nine Blades Sect's dojo and could feel the tranquility inside even through the door.

Behind me was a rustling, constantly moving crowd.

In front of me was a dojo with its doors tightly shut and an eerily quiet atmosphere.

He opened his mouth and said, "The Nine Blades Sect really knows how to find a quiet way to die."

"Then let you disappear without a trace."

Lei Feiming stepped forward, placed his hand on the door, and pushed hard, but the door did not budge. He exerted force in his arm, but could only hear a barely perceptible creaking sound.

"He's got something."

Lei Feiming opened his left hand, and black smoke emerged from it, condensing into a bone nail that gleamed with black light.

He slammed the bone nail against the door. The nail was momentarily blocked, but immediately broke through and slammed into the door, piercing through the wooden door.

The gate of the Nine Blades Sect began to tremble, and the marks on the gate began to fade, revealing mottled traces.

Lei Feiming kicked the door open, startling the passersby. Seeing that it was about the dojo, they quickly left, knowing that they were likely to get into trouble.

Stepping into the dojo, I saw the Nine Blades Sect disciples fully armed and ready for battle. The door behind me slammed shut, and I could no longer hear any sound from the outside world.

Sensing the auras of these people, Lei Feiming said regretfully, "It's a bit lacking; there are only about five people at the Pure Blood Realm."

He shouted to the crowd, "Where is your deputy curator, He Jian? Call her out."

"And call Wu Bai out too, otherwise these people won't be enough for me to handle."

"presumptuous!"

The sound came from above Lei Feiming's head.

He looked up and saw a woman with a knife falling from the sky.

The woman stood tall and straight, with a heroic air between her brows, staring angrily at Lei Feiming. She was none other than He Jian, the deputy director of the museum.

"Lei Feiming, are you officially declaring war on Nine Blades on behalf of Fei Yan?"

He Jian gripped the knife tightly, staring intently at her opponent.

Lei Feiming raised his hands: "Naturally, it can't compare to a declaration of war; this is just a one-sided massacre on my part."

"Simply put, I need you to serve as provisions to help me in my spiritual practice."

Upon hearing the other person's words, a hint of surprise flashed in He Jian's eyes, but she quickly recovered.

She drew her sword and pointed it at him: "Based on what you just said, we can report this to the Martial Virtue Division and have your Fei Yan sect labeled as demonic!"

Lei Feiming laughed; he felt he had heard something particularly interesting.

With a smile in his eyes, he said, "You can give it a try."

"If you can get out of this door today, I, Lei Feiming, might as well give up on this path."

Then, he raised a large amount of black smoke from his hands, which enveloped his palms. In front of everyone, he clapped his hands together heavily, turning the black smoke into a ball.

No matter what Lei Feiming was going to do, He Jian wouldn't let him do it as he pleased, so she immediately rushed forward to interrupt him.

"You?!"

Lei Feiming no longer controlled his strength, and a powerful True Profound Realm power erupted from his body, crashing into everyone present like a giant wave.

Several disciples with weaker abilities were instantly struck on the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices, their internal organs ruptured, and they collapsed and died after convulsing.

Forced to retreat, He Jian could no longer contain the shock in her eyes.

"True Profound Realm! When is that?!"

"How could your breakthrough have happened so quietly!"

Lei Feiming remained silent, the black energy in his hand merely surging and changing, forming a black skull.

"You've given yourselves such a quiet coffin, which is a relief to me."

"Let me reinforce it for you."

The skull soared into the sky, carrying black mist as it hurtled upwards.

"Lei Feiming, you can't act recklessly here!"

A powerful voice came from the courtyard behind the Nine Blades Sect, and a blade of light flashed as it struck the skull, about to knock it down.

"Old man, you've finally figured it out. Did you think I came here today just for this?"

The black skull suddenly exploded, with blades piercing through it, before reforming and flying upwards, crashing into a barrier.

Then the black skull decomposed, turning into a large number of thick bones that clung to the barrier. Gradually, the entire barrier was covered by skulls, exuding a sinister aura.

Under this eerie atmosphere, the Xuan Qi within Lei Feiming's body became active, but the members of the Nine Blades Sect felt a real sense of oppression.

"Come out, Wu Bai. What's the use of going into seclusion now? I'm sure you know that there are no more disciples of the Nine Blades Sect on Mist Branch Mountain."

"Your promising disciple, Zhang Baisheng, is dead. What do you think?"

He Jian turned around abruptly, looking at the old man slowly emerging from the crowd behind her, and asked incredulously, "Master, is Junior Brother Zhang really...?!"

Wu Bai stood barefoot in front of Lei Feiming, his eyes calm. He wore a coarse linen robe and had a thick, messy beard and hair.

He said, "Right now, this is the last remaining member of the Nine Blades Sect."

He Jian felt as if her heart had been ripped open, and her body swayed, but she immediately steadied herself, held back her tears, bit her lip, and glared fiercely at Lei Feiming.

Wu Bai continued, "You and Jin Feiyang broke through to the True Profound Realm together. He was in charge of Misty Branch Mountain, and you were in charge of Nine Blades, right?"

Lei Feiming chuckled: "Truly terrifying. As expected of someone who is only one step away from the perfection of the True Profound Realm, just by looking at their aura, one would think they were some kind of terrifying demon."

Although Wu Bai appeared calm and composed, Lei Feiming's intuition was constantly alerting him, sensing the terrifying killing intent suppressed beneath the other's body.

"That's right, just as you thought."

"You don't need to worry about anyone else coming. Today, I'm the only one responsible for collecting the bodies of Nine Blades."

"If you can kill me, Nine Blades can live."

Wu Bai looked up at the pitch-black sky: "With your late-stage True Profound Realm strength and this dark barrier, is that all you've got?"

"Before Liuyun Pavilion arrived, the heads of several dojos were only at the Jade Life Realm."

"It was precisely to avoid being suppressed by them that I chose to go into seclusion. I admire you and Jin Feiyang for being able to break through to the late stage of the True Profound Realm in such a short time, unlike me who can only achieve breakthroughs step by step through gradual refinement."

"Although I don't know where you got the information that I'm only one step away from perfection, I will show you that there are differences even in the late stage of the True Profound Realm."

As soon as Wu Bai finished speaking, a large knife flew from the backyard and crashed into him, shattering the earth and rocks.

Black smoke swirled around Lei Feiming.

"Then I shall inquire about Master Wu's swordsmanship!"
