Crescent Continent, the land in the far west, is thousands of miles across.
This place is full of yellow-brown desolate Gobi. Except for rocks and sand, there is almost no green color, and naturally there are no traces of living creatures.
But in the very center of this vast and desolate area, a touch of green suddenly appeared.
There are lush woods, vibrant grasslands, sparkling lakes, and small wooden houses, with men and women in simple and simple clothes coming in and out from time to time.
Although their cultivation level is generally low, there are even many ordinary people who have never practiced cultivation.
But these people have one thing in common, that is, they have a sword hanging behind their back or at their waist, with sharp eyes and a sense of vigor.
In the very center of the oasis, there is a solitary, slender gray peak that is thousands of feet tall. It looks extremely steep and steep, with almost no formed mountain road, making it intimidating for ordinary people.
But if someone with advanced cultivation looks at it, they can feel the terrifying aura contained in this mountain peak, like a giant sword trying to pierce the sky.
After a long time, your eyes may not be able to bear it and may shed tears.
This is where Lingjian Mountain, one of the four famous sects in the Crescent Continent, is located.
Rumor has it that more than 90% of the sword cultivators in the entire continent are from this sect.
Sword cultivators emphasize moving forward without hesitation, preferring to break rather than bend, which is somewhat similar to warriors from ancient times.
Therefore, after the order to exterminate warriors was issued this time, although it caused an uproar, arrogant top sects like Lingjian Mountain simply ignored it.
Lingjian Mountain has raised many strong men.
But the main mission of these warriors is not to protect the sect members, but to practice sword practice with the sect's sword.
That's right, Lingjian Mountain has raised a large number of warriors, and allowed them to practice the swordsmanship of the lineage of ancient warriors, and to prove each other with the flying swords of the monks, so as to pursue the ultimate in swordsmanship.
Therefore, many people believe that there are real high-level warriors hidden in the gate of Lingjian Mountain.
But because of his status as one of the four major sects and his ruthless style of killing decisively.
Even Taishang Dao Sect and Shan Hai Sect don't want to provoke him and usually ignore those rumors.
This time, the nine forbidden areas united with many major sects to issue decrees. Those sects that had long been dissatisfied with Lingjian Mountain thought they had found the best opportunity.
"Fellow Taoists of Lingjian Mountain, please listen to the old Taoist advice and hand over all those fourth-level warriors. Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, how can you make enemies of the nine restricted areas?"
In the sky above Lingjian Mountain, dense crowds of people appeared.
These figures are all wearing different styles of clothing, and they are obviously from different sects.
The leader is wearing a fiery red Taoist robe and has white hair. He is the master of the Shanhai Sect who is currently at the height of his powers and whose power can overwhelm the four major sects.
Behind him, there are disciples of the Ancient Fu Sect, Tianmo Sect, Xutian Sect and other first-class sects. The number is estimated to be between five and six hundred, and there are at least dozens of Jindan Zhenren.
This kind of power is estimated to be able to destroy 99% of the sects, but it is still a little weak in front of the long-famous Lingjian Mountain.
The master of Shanhai Sect had a sincere expression on his face, and it seemed that he did not want Lingjian Mountain to go astray.
But he talked for a long time, but never got any response.
Even with this real person's self-cultivation, a trace of anger could not help but appear in his eyebrows.
What else did he want to say.
Then I heard a cold voice suddenly coming from the extremely ordinary-looking gray mountain in front of me: "Shanhaizong is not even willing to send the True Lord to die, so he is stingy."
Then, a black sword light full of killing intent flew out from somewhere on the mountain peak, and with unparalleled power, it shot hard at the Shanhai Sect master!
'puff!'
Master Shanhaizong didn't even react.
There was an obvious red line between his eyebrows and his chest and lower body. The whole person was broken through it, and a large amount of blood and internal organs were spilled from it!
The strange thing is that the real person did not turn into two completely separated halves.
There is actually a trace of flesh on its back that is barely connected, like a melon with no bottom cut, revealing the terrifying control of the Lingjian Mountain sword cultivator.
"Anyone who is still within ten miles of our sect after five breaths will die!"
That cold voice began to issue ultimatums.
Upon hearing this, the other monks present ran away frantically outside without saying a word.
There are some people here who are not highly cultivated. Even though they risked their lives, they still did not escape ten miles from Lingjian Mountain after five breaths. The number of them is estimated to be close to a hundred.
"No!" Someone screamed in fear, then stopped suddenly.
Silver swords rained down from the sky one after another, cutting all those who had no time to escape into countless pieces of flesh and blood!
Seeing this, the monks who had originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and force them into the palace all turned red-eyed.
"How dare they, how dare they make enemies of the whole world!"
"Madmen, they are all a bunch of madmen who are desperate for their lives!"
"Damn it, I want to avenge my disciple!"
Although these people hate Lingjian Mountain deeply, they do not dare to get closer.
Lingjian Mountain, one of the four major sects, once again demonstrated their desperate and extreme murderous nature.
"Lingjian Mountain won't be proud for long, the restricted area can treat them!"
"That's right, with the nine forbidden areas joining forces, even Lingjian Mountain can be destroyed in a moment!"
"Here they come! Haha, they are coming!"
In the expectant eyes of everyone, another group of huge figures appeared.
Among these figures, there are hydra monsters that are ten thousand meters tall, bird-men with golden bodies and golden crowns, and mermaid monsters covered with scales and holding tridents. They are all direct descendants from the nine restricted areas.
There are estimated to be more than a dozen in number, and those with the weakest cultivation levels are all at the level of a great demon.
"Hand over all the warriors, or Lingjian Mountain will be removed from the list today!" the Birdman from the Immortal Burial Ruins said loudly.
"The so-called four major sects of the human race are a joke in front of our restricted area!" Another hydra demon sneered.
silence.
Lingjian Mountain did not give any response.
But not speaking seemed to be a manifestation of fear.
"Whether you want to continue to maintain the identity of the four major sects, or become a dead body, the choice lies with you." Thinking that Lingjian Mountain was about to be persuaded, the bird-man demon increased the pressure again.
It feels that it has given Lingjian Mountain a lot of face, and of course it may be due to the historical reputation of the four major sects.
After all, if it were another sect, they would probably have swarmed us all.
The great bird-man demon thought this way, and a bright silver sword light suddenly reflected in the child's hole.
This sword light is so fierce that it is almost faster than the fastest thunder and lightning in the world, and it has a domineering attitude that can kill gods and Buddhas.
It caused a fear that had not appeared in its heart for many years to appear involuntarily.
"Ancestor, save me!"
boom!
Above the demons, the white clouds suddenly broke open, and a giant claw covered with black scales stretched out from inside!
The giant claw has ten toes, and any one of them is estimated to be ten thousand feet long!
As soon as it appeared, the entire sky was blackened, and the ground below was also dim.
Countless whirlpools of clouds and gas appeared and exploded as the giant claws descended. Strong winds blew and huge rocks flew into the air one by one, creating a chaotic scene.
Sure enough, besides the big demon, there are existences at the demon king level lurking.
This made those who wanted to see Lingjian Mountain fall feel happy in their hearts.
The great bird-man demon also laughed: "My ancestor from the Immortal Burial Ruins takes action, why don't you just surrender and capture him!"
As soon as it finished speaking, the silver sword light suddenly split into two in mid-air.
One occupies most of the original part, and the other only has a weak trace.
The thick one suddenly changed direction in the air and shot straight into the sky, striking the demon king's giant claw!
‘Pong!’
Although it did not cause any damage to the giant claw, it also abruptly stopped its downward trend.
Another slender sword light was less than one-tenth of the original sword light, but its power was also extremely amazing, easily cutting the bird-man demon into two pieces!
"You are looking for death!" The demon king in the sky gradually revealed his true body, revealing his towering figure. He was actually a giant bird with bright fiery red hair, just like the reappearance of the phoenix in mythology.
And an arrogant voice came from Lingjian Mountain: "Give me another ten years, and I, Gui Shuoyuan, can kill you with my sword!"
"What, it's Gui Shuoyuan, he has reached such a level!"
"He is worthy of being the first genius in tens of thousands of years. I'm afraid he's not far away from the realm of the Master!"
"It's a pity, I'm afraid he won't reach that time!"
Gui Shuoyuan's bold words frightened everyone present.
What surprised them even more was the attitude of Lingjian Mountain, which showed no mercy to the monsters in the restricted area and killed them at will.
Soon, two more king-level monsters arrived.
One is a demon king from the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisonous Snakes. He has ten huge heads, each of which is comparable to a small planet.
One is the Butterfly Demon King who holds a divine bow. He comes from the Butterfly Garden. He has a petite body. The cyan bow is several times taller than it. The light blooming on the bow string is more dazzling than the sun.
The three demon kings surrounded Lingjian Mountain.
Lingjian Mountain also flew out two invincible sword lights that were many times more powerful than before, and they were in a stalemate with the three demon kings, and no one could do anything to the other.
"Damn it, if most of the masters of our demon clan hadn't left this world to support the war with the Shura world, how could we have allowed you to be so arrogant!" A demon king roared.
"If our human race can unite as one, there is no chance for you monster race!" A certain supreme being from Lingjian Mountain replied coldly.
After Lingjian Mountain, the last of the four major sects, Daluo Sect, finally made a statement and announced that it would protect every warrior in the sect.
We stand unequivocally against the no-go zone laws.
According to rumors, this is related to the status of their sect leader's only son as a warrior.
But no matter what, the final result was that Daluo Sect also joined the team to fight against the demon.
Later, Master Luo Tian of Daluo Sect took action forcefully and helped Lingjian Mountain drive back the three demon kings.
And the masters of their two sects continued to attack and solved the crisis of annihilation of the Xinghe Sect, Qi Blood Sect and other sects.
Such an astonishing record, as well as the lofty status of Lingjian Mountain and Daluo Sect since ancient times, made those sects that had long been filled with resentment gather together as if they had a backbone and began to work together to resist the gradually raging demonic calamity.
The human sect was suddenly divided into three major factions at this time.
One is the pro-demon sect headed by Etaishang Dao Sect, Tianyan Sect, and Shanhai Sect, and there are also many first-class sects such as Ancient Fu Sect, Xutian Sect, and Tianmo Sect, and with the nine restricted areas behind them, they are quite powerful.
is the strongest.
One is the main fighting sect headed by Lingjian Mountain and Daluo Sect. There are also first-class sects such as Qi Blood Sect and Galaxy Sect, but they are obviously at a disadvantage in this confrontation.
The first is the middle sect with the largest number, such as the Cursing Sect, the Corpse Exorcist Sect, the Immortal Gourd Sect, the Optimistic Sect, and other sects. Although there are no top-level sects, they have many first-rate and second-rate sects, and their strength cannot be underestimated.
The reason why most people are waiting and watching is because although the demon clan's current strength has hit rock bottom, it is only temporary.
When the war with the Shura clan ends and most of the demon kings return, Lingjian Mountain and the Daluo Sect may be in danger of being destroyed.
Therefore, ordinary sects do not dare to gamble, they only dare to wait.
Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages has been a human tendency since ancient times.
After the high-end combat power became difficult to determine the winner, the main war faction of the human race and the demon race and their affiliated forces began to enter into a cruel tug-of-war.
Hidden monsters everywhere in the world began to move frequently.
Every day, countless battles take place, countless humans die, and the entire continent is plunged into horrific demon disasters.
…
This day.
A tall man with a sallow complexion came to Qingliu County of Yu State. It was Liu Mang himself who had changed his appearance.
After experiencing the first calamity of being burned and gaining new magical powers of transformation, Liu Mang hurried here.
He had to ensure the safety of his niece Gu Qingqing.
But after arriving at the original location of Gujiazhuang, Liu Mang couldn't help but be stunned.
It is full of devastation, broken rocks and walls, broken limbs and blood can be seen everywhere, as well as the rampant laughter of some monsters.
"Weak, really too weak. Why are these human races so weak?"
"I don't even want to go back to the mountain. This place is simply a paradise on earth!"
"There are just a few monks and they are not strong enough!"
These monsters include wild boar monsters that are dozens of feet tall, hedgehog monsters with gray spikes all over their bodies, and cyan snake monsters that swim quickly on the ground.
Each mouth was covered with blood.
"die!"
Liu Mang's face was indifferent, with murderous intent surging in his eyes. He waved out a divine light and turned all these monsters into powder.
After the death of these monsters, Gujiazhuang, which had been turned into ruins, became more deserted, and the silence was a bit scary.
"Qingqing!" Liu Mang shouted loudly.
At the same time, he quickly checked the bodies on the ground, feeling very anxious and worried, hoping that nothing would happen to Lao Gutou's granddaughter.
But after searching for a long time, no trace of Gu Qingqing was found.
Could it be that he was picked up by Gu Li?
Liu Mang thought about it and thought it was unlikely. On the way here, he had already heard about the battle between the Xinghe Sect and the Demon King, so it would be difficult for Gu Li to distract him.
After Liu Mang calmed down, he gradually discovered some abnormalities.
With his current magical power, if he specifically senses it, he can hear the extremely slight sound of blood flowing from an area a hundred feet below the ground.
Could it be?
Liu Mang was overjoyed. There was a flash of light under his feet, and the ground below suddenly sunk, sinking his entire body.
