Swordholder

"Flowers!"

Cai Fu and Gao Zhongliang's eyes narrowed sharply, and they roared in unison!

The two tried their best to rush over to rescue Gan Pinghua, but were held back by several high-ranking members of the Xu family!

With Xu Dekui, a master of the Great Perfection of the Yellow Court, sitting nearby to maintain order, they couldn't spare any strength at all.

The difference in cultivation levels between the two sides was as vast as an insurmountable chasm, leaving them with no room for rescue.

laugh!

At the critical moment, a sharp sword light slashed across the sky from the distant mountains and forests, heading straight for Xu Zhilong's head!

"not good!"

Xu Zhilong's expression changed drastically. He no longer cared about killing Gan Pinghua and retreated rapidly.

The terrifying sword light, undiminished in its power, grazed past his shoulder and landed among the Xu family members behind him!

puff!

More than a dozen cultivators were instantly cleaved in two by the sword light, their blood spraying across the wilderness!

Clang!

Another clear and melodious sword cry resounded throughout the surrounding area!

laugh!

A blindingly bright sword light pierced the night sky and crashed into the arena!

hum!

The sword was surrounded by a dazzling sword aura, as bright as the blazing sun, which surged wildly in all directions. Its sharpness was unparalleled, and Xu family cultivators fell one after another along the way, their flesh and blood flying everywhere!

This long sword was like a small sun, instantly tearing apart the darkness of the barren mountain, making the entire wilderness as bright as day!

Everyone in the room turned pale with shock and retreated in unison.

Whether it was the swordsman trapped in a desperate situation or the Xu family members who had the upper hand, they were all frozen in place!

Their eyes were fixed on the blazing longsword in the center of the arena, and their hearts were filled with turmoil.

"Who dares to interfere in the affairs of the Xu family!"

Xu Dekui roared angrily, his body surging with black light as he remained on high alert in the dense forest ahead.

A tall, slender figure slowly emerged from the deep night, the crimson moon casting an extremely long shadow over him.

It was the figure of a young man. He walked calmly, ignoring the layers of weapons on both sides, and walked into the center of the battlefield under the astonished gazes of everyone, reaching out and firmly grasping the Heavenly Light Longsword.

"Is it you... Chen Yuan?"

"You... how did you get here!"

Xu Zhilong recognized the person who had come in, and his anger surged to his head. He questioned them sharply!

He glanced at the dead and wounded swordsmen scattered on the ground, and immediately grinned maliciously. "What, you want to steal the credit?"

The name Chen Yuan resounded like thunder in everyone's ears!

Xu Dekui narrowed his cloudy eyes and coldly sized up the young Wuxiang Director who had recently stirred up trouble in Tianshan County.

The other Xu family cultivators looked at him with disdain and mockery, thinking he was just tempted by the success and had come to get a share of the profits!

Utterly foolish!

On the other hand, the group of sword-wielders felt their hearts sink to the bottom when they saw Chen Yuan appear.

As the head of the Wuxiang Division, he is ruthless!

Coming now will only result in their utter annihilation.

"Why...why is he here?"

Zhou Ye stood there in a daze, rubbing his eyes repeatedly in disbelief.

He gazed at the tall, handsome young man, and a surge of inexplicable excitement welled up within him.

Everyone else feared Chen Yuan, but a glimmer of hope suddenly arose in his heart.

Gan Pinghua was about to stand up and rebuke him angrily, refusing to back down even at the cost of her life, when Cai Fu and Gao Zhongliang stepped forward and covered her mouth tightly with their hands.

"Don't curse him, he might not be an enemy!"

Cai Fu's voice trembled uncontrollably as he hurriedly lowered his voice to dissuade him, "Please don't swear!"

Cai Fu understood very well that some women would start hurling insults without even understanding the situation, which could easily offend powerful people.

Gan Pinghua could only make muffled whimpering sounds as her mouth was covered, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, her face full of disbelief.

How can that kid not be an enemy?

However, it seems that the other party saved him earlier.

So she obediently stopped moving.

Gao Zhongliang's throat bobbed heavily, his gaze fixed on the dazzling sword light that had just torn through the night!

He trembled slightly, unable to control himself.

His lips trembled as he uttered a few words.

"Just now... those dazzling sword lights were... the Heavenly Light Demon-Slaying Technique!"

Heavenly Light Demon-Slaying Technique!

The mere five words sent a jolt through Gan Pinghua's mind, and she froze completely!

Zhou Ye's eyes were wide open, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets, and his whole body was trembling violently.

"How...how is this possible?"

Zhou Ye whispered in a trembling voice, filled with disbelief.

In his mind, Chen Yuan, who possessed demonic powers and held the position of Wuxiangsi, should have been no different from a demon!

However, the Heavenly Light Demon-Slaying Technique is a legitimate and unique skill of the human race's sword-wielding lineage, and it is absolutely impossible for demons and monsters to learn it.

The gazes of the audience were a complex mix of surprise, disbelief, shock, wariness, and hope.

Holding the Tianzheng Sword, Chen Yuan strolled leisurely towards Xu Zhilong, stepping over the corpses scattered on the ground.

His already fair face, bathed in the blood-red moonlight, appeared even more chilling and intimidating, and a faint, indifferent smile slowly curved his lips.

"Chen Yuan, what exactly do you want to do?"

Xu Zhilong frowned, a strong sense of unease rising in his heart.

"Zhilong, watch out! This man is a remnant of the Sword-wielding clique!"

Xu Dekui suddenly saw through the flaw and shouted sharply!

"What? He's the Swordholder?"

Xu Zhilong was stunned. No matter what, he never expected that the ruthless young man in front of him would be the Swordholder!

Just then, Chen Yuan slashed his sword at Xu Zhilong!

"You little beast, how dare you!"

Xu Dekui's eyes were bloodshot, and his body was filled with surging black demonic energy!

Roar!

A phantom image of a jet-black cheetah appeared behind him, transforming into a blur as it pounced on Chen Yuan, its sharp claws carrying overwhelming ferocity as it struck.

Almost at the same instant, a golden figure appeared out of nowhere and blocked Xu Dekui's path; it was Li Wei.

"Get out of here!"

Xu Dekui roared and slammed his powerful palm into Li Wei. With a loud bang, the golden figure flew backward, but this brief moment of obstruction had already slowed down his attack.

In Xu Zhilong's vision, the entire night seemed to be torn apart by the light of the sword!

The dazzling sword energy, like a blazing sun, carrying unparalleled divine might, slashed down towards Xu Zhilong!

"what!"

Xu Zhilong shouted, his soul trembled as he faced the Heavenly Light Demon-Slaying Technique. He felt fear and was unable to dodge or resist it!

puff!

With a crisp sound, Xu Zhilong was cleaved in two from head to toe by the longsword!

The residual force of the sword energy swept behind, and dozens of Xu family cultivators exploded one after another.

Chen Yuan lightly lifted his foot, stepped over Xu Zhilong's cold corpse, and charged straight into the Xu family's crowd with his sword!

This incredibly brave scene immediately shocked everyone!

Exclamations erupted from the Xu family, and the pupils of all the sword-wielders widened suddenly!

"It's the Heavenly Light Demon-Slaying Technique—Blazing Sun Dawn Slash!"

Cai Fu and Gao Zhongliang exclaimed in unison, then quickly regained their senses and shouted loudly.

"Quickly, everyone, follow this lord and fight the enemy!"

"He cultivates the Heavenly Light Demon-Slaying Technique; he's one of our own!"

The roar echoed across the wilderness, and the blood of the surviving swordsmen instantly boiled!

They forgot all their wounds and charged forward once again with their swords drawn!

The ecstasy and exhilaration of escaping from a desperate situation swept over every swordsman!

No one could have predicted that the one who saved their lives would be a young swordsman who seemed to be in the enemy camp but possessed extraordinary talent!

Gan Pinghua was deeply shocked!

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the figure of the invincible young man who wielded the light of the sky, his eyes sparkling with a myriad of emotions.

"So he was Chen Yuan... I misunderstood him before, and even called him a bad person!"

A hint of shame crossed her face. She stomped her foot angrily, picked up the short sword that had fallen to the ground, and charged forward with the others.

Despite being blasted away, Li Wei charged back into the battlefield unharmed.

Together with Chen Yuan, he swept across the land, displaying unparalleled might and power.

The Xu family's already overwhelming momentum was instantly shattered by the two of them!

The two men's fierce aura suppressed the Xu family's fighting spirit.

In particular, the two of them cultivate the Heavenly Light Daoist Method together, and their sword energy of the sun, moon, stars, and heavens is naturally able to counter the evil techniques of the Xu family!

The Xu family cultivators' combat power was greatly suppressed, and in a short period of time, as many as two or three hundred people had died.

"You little beast, your opponent is me!"

Xu Dekui was completely enraged, unleashing his full power of the Yellow Court Great Perfection cultivation without reservation!

Boom!

His speed and power soared to a terrifying level, and all the surrounding cultivators were blasted away by the violent shockwave. In an instant, he was in front of Chen Yuan.

Clang!

Chen Yuan thrust the Tianzheng Sword straight at his opponent's throat, but Xu Dekui's claws slammed away the sword's edge. His broadsword, wreathed in dense demonic energy, cleaved down towards Chen Yuan's head.

"Give me your life!"

Xu Dehui's eyes were bloodshot; his beloved son had died tragically before his eyes, and he had already gone mad.

Boom!

Chen Yuan's Xuanhuang Righteous Qi erupted, and layers of yellow armor condensed around his body, steadily blocking the descending demonic blade.

His longsword once again emitted a blinding light, aiming straight for Xu Dekui's vital points.

The two instantly became entangled in a fierce battle, their swords clashing and roaring, the ground beneath their feet cracking inch by inch, and dust and rubble flying everywhere!

"It's the Profound Yellow Righteous Qi Technique! The orthodox cultivation method of the Sword-wielding Division!"

Gao Zhongliang was overjoyed when he saw the extraordinary phenomenon of the cultivation technique.

"My lord, we have come to your aid!"

Cai Fu shouted excitedly, about to lead his men to surround them.

"No need."

Chen Yuan shouted to stop them, "You take your men and kill all the remaining members of the Xu family, leave no one alive."

Cai Fu and Gao Zhongliang instantly understood each other.

Chen Yuan's identity as the Chief of the Wuxiang Division is public knowledge. If he were to publicly join forces with the Swordholder to assassinate the Xu family's patriarch...

This will inevitably lead to an endless investigation by the Grand Chancellor's court, causing him endless trouble in the future.

The two immediately accepted the order and led the remaining dozen or so wounded swordsmen to launch a ruthless campaign to wipe out the scattered Xu family members.

Li Wei, clad in gleaming gold, exuded righteousness and brilliance. He charged through the battlefield, blasting away anything that stood in his way.

Cai Fu gazed at the Heavenly Light Sword Qi emanating from him, his expression complex.

"Little adult, we're here to help you!"

Gao Zhongliang shouted loudly and joined the battlefield where Li Wei was.

"What 'little adult'? Just call me Lord Li!"

Li Wei shouted loudly and without any politeness, "Don't get distracted, kill all the scum!"

"yes!"

Gao Zhongliang was shocked, but soon he found it strange.

How did Li Wei achieve his golden skin?

Suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply!

"Is this the Wuxiang Sect's alien project? Are you an alien?"

Gao Zhongliang stared at Li Wei, his expression complex as he spoke.

"Bullshit mutants! I'm a pureblood man!"

Li Wei said nonchalantly, ignoring the strange looks from the sword-wielders.

Almost simultaneously, many members of the Xu family had their heads blown off, with loud thuds and gushing blood.

This scene shocked many people.

"Evil spirit! A great evil spirit!"

Someone exclaimed!

Hehehe!

A series of chilling laughs rang out, and Nuomi appeared in the arena!

Her long hair flew wildly, like countless dragons and snakes in the sky, piercing through countless members of the Xu family!

"Oh my god!"

Cai Fu, Gao Zhongliang, Gan Pinghua, and the others' expressions changed drastically.
