Swordholder

Under the dim moonlight, evil spirits lurked in the mountains and forests, but tonight they were all terrified by a vast, murderous aura!

It made countless demons and evil spirits tremble in fear.

Xu Zhihua, Liu Zongyuan, and Liu Qingyuan gathered all the official forces in Huaishan County, totaling more than two thousand people, and used the Heavenly Dog from the Twelve Beasts Clan to track down the enemy.

"They are on this mountain."

A creature with a dog's head and a human body sniffed the air and pointed at the mountaintop, roaring ferociously!

It then barked loudly and ran wildly up the mountain.

Countless Wuxiang warriors followed closely behind him, their eyes bloodthirsty and ferocious.

Capturing even one swordsman would be a tremendous achievement!

If we could capture the Chief Swordbearer and the Golden Swordbearer, it would be an unparalleled feat.

All the fortune tellers, yamen runners, and law enforcement guards went mad.

Upon hearing the report of the beast's whereabouts, the group became even more excited and rushed frantically up the mountain.

"As expected of the Thousand-Mile Tracking Beast nurtured by the Blood Pavilion of the Formless Gate, it is indeed formidable!"

"I can't believe it," Liu Zongyuan exclaimed, riding on his black-scaled horse.

For half a month, they had been wandering around like headless flies until Xu Zhihua dispatched a group of Wuxiang warriors from Tianshan County, who carried the Thousand-Mile Tracking Beast, finally giving them a direction to follow.

At this moment, we finally caught up.

This beast that can track scents for miles is none other than the dog-headed, human-bodied Wuxiangshi from before, who possesses an extremely strong talent for scent tracking.

"Quick, keep up! I'll make sure they're all torn to pieces!"

Driven by a thirst for revenge, Liu Qingyuan spurred his black-scaled horse and charged forward first.

Liu Zongyuan sighed softly, looked at Xu Zhihua whose eyes were sinister, clasped his hands and said, "I hope Lord Xu will not take offense, I am just eager for revenge."

"It's alright. I am very pleased to be able to serve the empire."

Xu Zhihua spoke calmly, his face expressionless, and led the Black Scale Horse cavalry forward up the mountain.

The rugged terrain was not conducive to cavalry charges, but the group had a large force and was confident that they could wipe out the remaining sword-wielding rebels in one fell swoop.

······

The army, filled with overwhelming killing intent, charged madly up the mountain.

The thousand-mile-tracking beast, charging at the forefront, had its eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

"Heh, the aura of an evil zombie, so you're here!"

He spoke in a sinister tone, then paused.

A burly figure appeared ahead, his black hair dancing wildly in the night wind, his eyes already bloodshot!

The Thousand-Mile Searcher felt a chill run down his spine; he felt as if he were being watched by a venomous snake.

His eyes darted around, pointing to the dilapidated temple behind the burly figure, and he said in a low voice,

"Go ahead, the rest of the young sword-wielding brats are in that dilapidated temple. I can smell their presence."

As soon as the voice fell, all the Wuxiang warriors around them turned bloodshot and charged towards the burly man.

The burly man was none other than Lu Chengfeng.

His long-suppressed bloodlust erupted completely at this moment, without any restraint.

"Oh!"

He let out a low, hoarse sneer as he watched the approaching Wuxiangshi.

The evil energy within his body surged wildly, like a volcanic eruption, sweeping across his entire body... and even his soul.

hum!

His body trembled slightly, and crimson flames suddenly ignited around him!

"kill!"

Countless warriors of the Formless Realm charged forward, their blades stained crimson by the dim moonlight.

laugh!

Lu Chengfeng lightly swung his bronze longsword in his right hand, and a blood-red sword light swept out!

puff!

More than a dozen Wuxiang warriors had their heads blown off, their blood gushing out like a fountain, turning Lu Chengfeng, who was walking slowly forward, into a blood-soaked figure.

Clang!

A martial artist swung his sword at Lu Chengfeng's neck, but before the sword reached him, his chest was pierced by a bronze sword.

Lu Chengfeng lifted him high and flung him violently toward the charging Wuxiangshi.

Bang!

The Wuxiangshi, used as a punching bag, knocked down a group of people, but could not stop the crowd's charge in the slightest!

These Wuxiang practitioners are the most loyal followers of the Wuxiang Sect!

They were all infused with violent and evil energy, making them fearless warriors who instilled fear in human cultivators.

"kill!"

Countless practitioners of the Wuxiang sect surged towards the dilapidated temple from all directions like a tidal wave.

"roar!"

Lu Chengfeng stood in the midst of this black tide, like a towering mountain. He roared to the sky, his black hair dancing wildly!

The shockwave from the roar directly shattered the seven Wuxiang warriors in front of him, sending their flesh and blood flying everywhere.

In the next instant, he moved, becoming a blur as he plunged into the crowd. The long sword in his hand was cold and sharp, its light flashing. As he crisscrossed the crowd, heads flew off one after another!

"kill!"

Lu Chengfeng roared like a wild beast, wielding his longsword and beginning a frenzied slaughter.

In an instant, heads rolled and blood flowed like a river.

He completely lost his mind; only one thought remained in his soul and will:

kill!

Slaughter every living being before you!

Whoever comes, dies!

boom!

Lu Chengfeng exuded a murderous aura, and the long sword in his hand was engulfed in blood-red flames, as if it were formed from blood!

"Damn it, is he still the Swordholder? He can actually replace pure magical power within his body with murderous aura!"

The beast, which had been searching for a thousand miles, retreated in terror.

But Lu Chengfeng had already reached them, his longsword sweeping across!

puff!

Half of the Thousand-Mile Tracking Beast's head was severed, and blood and brain matter splattered everywhere!

Lu Chengfeng didn't even glance at it, and continued to attack the others.

By this time, the mountain forest was already crowded with people, including fortune tellers, law enforcement officers, and government officials...

As everyone watched Lu Chengfeng slaughter like a tiger among sheep, a chill ran down their spines.

"All heroes of the Formless, transform!"

A chief official without a fixed aura gave a loud order.

This man was a trusted confidant of Xu Zhihua, transferred from Tianshan County. He was heartbroken to see the beast that had been searching for a thousand miles killed.

But as Wuxiang warriors and the emperor's personal guards of the Great Xiang Empire, they had no reason to back down in the face of the sword-wielding rebels who defied the empire.

"roar!"

As the command was given, the Wuxiang warriors roared and twisted their bodies, transforming into ferocious beasts!

There were black wolves with scales, tigers with outstretched wings, and bulls with strong armor... One after another, the Wuxiang warriors in the form of ferocious beasts roared and howled, like a torrent that could crush everything, carrying a strong murderous aura, and fiercely rushed towards Lu Chengfeng!

"what!"

Lu Chengfeng let out a long roar and stomped his foot on the ground!

boom!!!

The earth shook violently, and a huge crack spread for kilometers!

His figure blurred into a streak as he swept his longsword horizontally!

Puff puff puff!!

Even after transforming into ferocious beasts and experiencing a surge in combat power, these Wuxiang warriors were still far from being a match for Lu Chengfeng, who was at the Great Perfection of the Yellow Court Realm and had also fused with the evil spirit.

"You...are...all...going...to...die!!!"

Lu Chengfeng revealed two long, slender fangs at the corner of his mouth, gleaming coldly!

The last shred of reason turned into a faint obsession:

To cover Chen Yuan and the others' retreat, tonight, everyone will die here!

laugh!

A crimson sword beam, tens of meters long, swept out!

hum!

This sword technique is astonishing!

This power is immense!

Hundreds of enemies were cut in half at the waist, their screams echoing throughout the air.

"Is he... is he even human?"

Among the guards and constables, some trembled and asked questions in fear.

"Nonsense, of course he's not human!"

A law enforcement official yelled, "Everyone, move in! Quickly!"

"Do you want to die? Lord Liu and Chief Secretary Xu are behind you, and the county magistrate is watching too. Who dares to back down!"

A law enforcement official shouted angrily.

The human law enforcement guard in the group secretly grumbled:

Those are zombies from the Yellow Court Realm!

Sending us Spirit Aperture Realm cultivators to charge is clearly suicide!

"hey-hey!"

Lu Chengfeng let out a chilling laugh, his long sword like a scythe of death, slaughtering one Wuxiang warrior after another, and suddenly rushed to the front of the law enforcement guards.

"what!"

The guards were terrified and disregarded orders, turning and fleeing.

"Damn it, come back! There's no escaping!"

The head of the enforcement department angrily cursed.

But looking at Lu Chengfeng, who was surrounded by a blood-red aura, he couldn't help but shiver.

Great!

I thought that by following the Wuxiangshi into battle, I could gain tremendous merit!

Who would have thought that the Master of No Fortune would be so incompetent, and would be slaughtered in a short time?

The head of law enforcement looked bitter, caught in a dilemma.

But Lu Chengfeng had already stepped forward, and with a swing of his longsword, a blood-red sword light severed most of his shoulder.

"what!"

The Chief of Law Enforcement screamed and rolled in the pool of blood. Images of his past oppression of the common people flashed through his mind... Unfortunately, this luxurious life came to a complete end when a large foot crushed his skull.

Lu Chengfeng crushed his head and continued to charge forward!

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from the mountains and forests, and Liu Qingyuan, filled with anger and eager for revenge, appeared in Lu Chengfeng's sight.

Looking at Liu Qingyuan in his official robes, Lu Chengfeng's killing intent surged even higher!

In the midst of his chaotic will, only one mad thought remained:

Kill this man!

"……die!"

He uttered a single word slowly and deliberately!

The next instant, he charged towards Liu Qingyuan!
