Deep in the Misty Swamp, there stands a mountain peak a thousand meters high, known as Mount Heimang.

This swamp was originally a vast wasteland as far as the eye could see. Yet, in the mountain forest, Mount Heimang stands out like a giant towering in the midst.

Standing atop Mount Heimang, looking northwest, one can see a massive lake thirty miles away.

The lake stretches to the ends of the earth, its water black as if coagulating blood—strangely eerie—that place is the dreaded Blackwater Lake of Misty Swamp.

Howl, howl...

In the dense forest of Mount Heimang, piercing wails constantly echo, and Sky Flying Demons can be seen weaving through the woods in astounding numbers, like a vast black cloud enveloping the entire mountain.

Within this dark cloud, a pitch-black palace looms faintly.

Whoosh!

A Blood Saber Guard darts into the palace and kneels:

"Master Demon General! Disciples of Linglong Hall, Purple Extreme Palace, Sky Sword Pavilion, and Yuangang Hall are attacking Mount Heimang."

On a stone throne at the top of the grand hall sits a middle-aged man, dressed in blood-red robes, with a commanding presence. Beside him rests a blood-red curved saber nearly as tall as him, as he drinks wine.

This man has a square face, eyebrows shaped like inverted "V"s, and each of his glances feels like a drawn blade, sharp and fierce.

If Luo Feng were here now, he would immediately recognize the man, none other than the Blood Saber Demon General from the Blood Demon Sect he encountered on the way to the Red Flame Desert Secret Realm!

Bang!

Upon hearing the news, the air around the Blood Saber Demon General surged wildly, the wine cup in his hand shattering into powder, as he sneered:

"I suspected something unusual when the Twelve Golden Palaces organized a hunt tournament. My intuition was correct!"

The Blood Saber Demon General’s sharp gaze fell on the Blood Saber Guard kneeling halfway across the hall, asking, "How do they know the location of our base?"

This Blood Saber Guard, possessing cultivation in the later stage of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, trembled silently under the Blood Saber Demon General’s gaze, suppressing the fear in his heart, and stammered:

"We captured several Golden Palace disciples and tortured them. We learned that a disciple from Linglong Hall accidentally obtained a map of the Canglang Dynasty Demon Sect’s base..."

"Map!"

Deep within the Blood Saber Demon General’s pupils, a bright glint flashed, and he coldly inquired, "Has Blood Yuan, the first captain of the Blood Saber Guard, not returned?"

"No. Captain Blood Yuan has been missing since he left two months ago."

"Hmph, it seems he will never come back."

The Blood Saber Demon General snorted coldly and rose, saying, "How many have come from the Four Golden Palaces, and how strong are they?"

"Each of the Four Golden Palaces has sent two thousand disciples into the Misty Swamp. Additionally, each palace dispatched an elder."

"Oh? Do you know who they are?"

Upon hearing, the Blood Saber Demon General squinted his eyes, and the light emanating from them was like a blade, the air in front silently and invisibly ripping apart.

"Shui Linglong from Linglong Hall, Purple Brow Wanderer from Purple Extreme Palace, Zhu Liehuo from Sky Sword Pavilion, Tai Yuanhu from Yuangang Hall."

"Hahaha, Shui Linglong, Purple Brow Wanderer... all old acquaintances."

The Blood Saber Demon General laughed, his laughter resonating through the entire hall.

"Master Demon General, stationed on Mount Heimang, we only have four thousand Blood Saber Guards and one thousand Sky Flying Demons—a total of five thousand. We are outnumbered, and they come prepared. Should we break through and leave Mount Heimang to make further plans back in the West Desert Demon Realm?"

The Blood Saber Guard swallowed, stammering nervously.

"Die!"

The Blood Saber Demon General’s gaze flashed as he waved his hand towards the kneeling Blood Saber Guard in the air.

Swish.

Suddenly, a massive saber qi appeared in the grand hall. The Blood Saber Guard didn’t even have time to scream before his body was sliced into two, his flesh pulverized by the residual saber qi, leaving only a pool of blood.

"Useless. Afraid of mere threats. You’re worthless!"

The Blood Saber Demon General’s face turned grim, his snort heavy and cold.

Clap, clap...

Footsteps sounded, and from the shadow on the left side of the hall emerged a towering figure.

The Blood Saber Demon General’s form was already imposing, yet this shadow was taller, with fleshy wings sprouting from its back and two horns over a foot long on its forehead, fused as if to form a blade, their cold shine visible from afar.

Asura transformation into a blade—sign of an Asura evolving into a Great Asura! Once evolved, a Great Asura wields power to rival True Yuan Realm martial artists, battling thousands alone! A single Great Asura could destroy a small town.

"Blood Saber, have you brought me here from afar for this matter?"

Named Gui Die, the Asura looked towards the Blood Saber Demon General.

Underground Demons possess very low intelligence and lack names at lower levels, but as they evolve into Asuras, their intelligence gradually grows. At the level of Great Asuras, they rival human intelligence and choose names for themselves.

The Blood Saber Demon General glanced at Gui Die, a hint of apprehension in his eyes, saying:

"Indeed, you have heard. The true purpose of the Twelve Golden Palaces of Canglang Dynasty’s hunt tournament."

"What do you plan to do? These four elders from the Golden Palaces have strength comparable to yours. Even if we join forces, our chance of victory is only fifty percent." Gui Die’s voice was measured and calm.

The Blood Saber Demon General sneered, saying, "Of course I know that, but I don’t intend to confront them head-on."

"Oh, what do you plan?" Gui Die showed interest.

The Blood Saber Demon General replied coldly, "Since they want to weaken our forces, we’ll do the opposite! Once the battle starts, I will lure those four away, while you stay hidden here."

"You want me to stay on Mount Heimang and slaughter those disciples of the Golden Palace?" Gui Die’s eyes flashed.

The Blood Saber Demon General nodded, his expression gloomy, eyes narrowing with a constant flicker of ferocious coldness:

"Exactly. The disciples entering Misty Swamp are certainly the elite of the various Golden Palaces, our future major enemies. If we kill them all, the Golden Palaces will be greatly weakened! How about it?"

Gui Die thought for a moment, then licked his lips and said:

"Alright, as long as you can lure those four elders away, I guarantee that not one disciple entering Misty Swamp will leave alive. However, you must agree beforehand that after this battle, all the women among these Golden Palace disciples will be mine; I want them all to be my slaves."

"Dispose of them as you wish."

The Blood Saber Demon General knew Asura was lustful, especially fond of human women, nodded and said: "Let me remind you, among these Golden Palace disciples, there are experts from the New Dragon List. Their strength is not simple..."

"Heh heh, you can rest assured. Even if all ten New Dragons come, I don’t care."

Gui Die was dismissive of the Blood Saber Demon General’s words, waved his hand and said, "Call me when the battle starts."

With that, Gui Die hurriedly walked out of the grand hall.

The Blood Saber Demon General knew the other had captured quite a few human women on Mount Heimang, naturally understood what he was going to do, and couldn’t help shaking his head.

However, he didn’t think the other was boasting. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Gui Die’s strength had already reached the peak of the ninth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, just one step away from transforming into a great Asura, he wasn’t an opponent, all ten New Dragons coming might pose a threat, but that’s simply impossible.

Eyeing the pool of blood in the middle of the grand hall, the Blood Saber Demon General licked his lips and grinned ferociously:

It looks like the map obtained by Linglong Hall disciples, shows Xueyuan was also killed by this person. Dare to kill someone of mine, heh heh, better hope I never find out who you are, or I will shred you to pieces across mountains and seas, ends of the earth!

In the dense forest.

Luo Feng and a group were reaching the end of their battle with the Demon Sect disciples.

The forest was filled with the stench of blood, everywhere were the corpses of Blood Saber Guards and Sky Flying Demons.

Some of these corpses were covered in sword marks, others had a chillingly dark blood hole on their foreheads and hearts, most were slashed in half, becoming unrecognizable.

Boom!

In mid-air, Luo Feng slashed down with his saber.

"Thunder Fire Shocking Heavens!"

The massive saber light moved as swiftly as thunder, the surrounding flames twisted and churned, crackling like thunder from the nine heavens, ready to strike.

A Sky Flying Demon under the saber light widened its eyes, stared fixedly at the saber light slashing towards him, his body trembling incessantly.

In his perception, it was no longer just ordinary saber light, but thunder descending from the nine heavens, evil fire burning in the abyssal extreme domain, in front of this saber, everything seemed so pathetic, the immense pressure made him unable to move.

"Not good..."

Suddenly awakening, the Sky Flying Demon wanted to flee, but it was too late.

Swoosh!

The saber light flashed, splitting the Sky Flying Demon, who had reached the late fifth stage of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, in two, his massive wings igniting directly, as a rain of blood poured down in the dense forest.

This saber was a technique created by Luo Feng, or rather, it wasn’t creation, but fusion.

He fused the first style of the Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber, the ’Golden Sun Fiery Blaze Slash,’ with the Shocking Thunder Saber Technique, and in this fierce battle, successfully fused the first two styles of the Shocking Thunder Saber Technique. The saber technique contained both the thunderous intent realm of the Shocking Thunder Saber Technique and was as potent as the Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber, truly sharp as thunder, explosive as fire, named Thunder Fire Shocking Heavens.

"Die!"

A head of Asura, eyes red, roared, flapping its wings, with pitch-black streams surging around, with a swoosh, turned into a black line, straightly extending.

"Slash!"

Since the cultivation was successful, these two heads of Asura were already of no use, killing intent surged in Luo Feng’s heart, locked onto the silhouette of the Asura, and once again used Thunder Fire Shocking Heavens.

Swipe!

The Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber seemed to vanish into the void, with a massive saber light, скорости like lightning, slashed accurately, hitting the rapidly extending black line.

Splurt!

Blood splattered, the Asura was split in mid-air, eyes wide in disbelief.

Until just now, Luo Feng couldn’t keep up with his speed, he couldn’t understand why he was struck by this saber.

Had I slowed down, or had he sped up?

He would never know the answer.

Luo Feng wanted to completely solidify Thunder Fire Shocking Heavens, flashing his steps, killed towards the remaining Asura.

Boom!

The continuous explosive sound rang out, the remaining head of Asura was also slain by Luo Feng with one saber, without the slightest resistance.
