With Ling Yun's slash, the Houtian Realm Level Nine expert's body was sliced into pieces. Fresh blood spurted out from his neck as his head fell and rolled on the ground, making it quite far before it stopped moving.

“Bang!” After swaying back and forth a few times, the headless corpse fell onto the ground, and a rain of blood poured down, staining the ground red.

Ling Yun's black stealth clothes had already been stained dark red. Narrowing both of his eyes, his gaze carried an ice-cold chill. Raising his blade single-handedly, he slowly walked towards the remaining seven.

Of the seven people, two of them were experts at Houtian Realm Level Nine, while three of them were at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Eight. But at the moment, they were all completely terrified. Carrying their weapons, they trembled non-stop as they desperately shuffled back!

“That… isn't that the Devil's Blade? He's from the Devil Sect!” A person shouted loudly. Finally, someone recognized the dark blade he was wielding.

“Hmph!” Scoffing silently, Ling Yun used the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability as he left a very realistic shadow-clone of himself behind. However, his actual body soared forward by twenty meters. In a flash, he arrived in front of these seven people!

“Ah!” Seeing Ling Yun's speed and movement, they knew that it would be difficult for them to escape. A few of them even subconsciously screamed in terror!

As the screams echoed, his blade followed!

When Ling Yun's body flashed again, it was as though a tiger had pounced into a flock of sheep. In an instant, he entered the seven people's encirclement and unleashed his ability, “Total Annihilation”!

The jet-black Devil's Blade, with its ice-cold exterior, was nearly two feet long. It created a completely black slas.h.i.+ng silhouette, ice-cold and terrifying!

The Devil's Blade tasted blood as arms were decapitated, fresh blood spurting out. In an instant, the screams of terror and death converged into one. In the silence of the night, the screams reached even further!

With him wielding the Devil's Blade, the expert at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine couldn't even withstand two blows from Ling Yun. What more could these seven people do?

Two more people lost their lives on the spot, with another two sustaining heavy injuries!

Only those two Houtian Realm Level Nine experts and a pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Eight expert who specialized in Qinggong barely managed to dodge Ling Yun's terrifying strike!

“Run!” The three people no longer had the thought to take down their enemy. In their eyes, Ling Yun was practically a grim reaper who treated human lives as no more significant than gra.s.s stubs!

Cui Lao and Dugu Mo circled in from two sides, each taking on a Houtian Realm Level Nine expert that intended to escape. Desperately trying to block them, they couldn't escape.

With a flash of his silhouette, Ling Yun caught up to that expert at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Eight. A glint of amus.e.m.e.nt flashed in his eyes as he sent the blade rus.h.i.+ng towards his face!

Seeing the jet-black blade slice towards him, he was so scared that his innards were shattered in pieces. Subconsciously, he shouted loudly, “Don't kill me!”

Seeing fear and despair in his eyes, Ling Yun furrowed his brows slightly and changed the trajectory of his blade, swinging his blade down onto his shoulder instead.

Without another sound or movement, the expert's right arm flew towards the skies, bringing a rain of blood with it!

“Chk chk…” Ling Yun drove two steel nails straight into his knees, then used another four to do the same to the two heavily injured men from before.

After killing multiple people, Ling Yun couldn't help but feel an ounce of compa.s.sion return to him. He left these people their lives, but it was necessary that he removed their fighting abilities completely.

Ling Yun looked up and swept his gaze across the battlefield. The two Houtian Realm Level Nine experts engaged in battle with Cui Lao and Dugu Mo, despite being at a complete disadvantage, were holding out. Cui Lao and Dugu Mo weren't able to finish the fight.

They hadn't reached Ling Yun's capabilities yet. Even though they were at least two levels above Ling Yun, since their enemies were at the same level, they couldn't kill them instantly.

With many enemies left to defeat, there was no way Ling Yun could allow them to drain their battle power to determine their wins and losses. With a flash of movement, he rushed towards the battlefield of the four people. Using his Qian Kun Slash, he finished them off without hesitation!

From the moment the eight people began their face-off against Ling Yun, not even two minutes had pa.s.sed. Of the eight people, one was at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine, two were at Houtian Realm Level Nine, three were at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Eight, and two were regular experts. Five had died, while three were heavily injured. And this was the case when Ling Yun was still holding back against them.

“Let's go!”

Ling Yun, Cui Lao, and Dugu Mo individually met each other's gazes. Nodding simultaneously, they headed towards the mansion ahead with a flash of movement.

On the way there, they didn't meet any other form of resistance. The three of them rushed ahead, traveling about two hundred meters. When they reached the gra.s.sy area of Zhuang Tiande's mansion, they stopped simultaneously, standing in a perfect triangular formation.

After holding their stance, Cui Lao looked at the more than twenty men that stood ahead of them and said to Ling Yun telepathically, “Three at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine, five at Houtian Realm Level Nine, and nine at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Eight!”

As for the remaining few, they were all at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Eight or below. Even Cui Lao and Dugu Mo could kill them in an instant. Naturally, they gave Ling Yun a heads-up again.

Ling Yun nodded. In the battle just before, Ling Yun didn't even use 10% of his power. Even though there were many people in front of him, they posed no threat to him at all.

Because Ling Yun could kill them in an instant as long as they weren't intentionally trying to escape, Ling Yun was prepared to turn all of the people before him into icy corpses within five minutes.

The three experts at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine, who were from the Sun Family, each held onto their blades and stared coldly at the Devil's Blade in Ling Yun's hands, their eyes narrowing!

“It's really the Devil's Blade!” one of them said telepathically.

“There's no way that could be it. The Devil's Blade has already been lost for a thousand years. How could it appear here? It's probably a blade that someone turned into that color, pretending that it's the real deal, right?” Another person conveyed his hesitation.

The third person fell into silence for a while before he confirmed it by nodding heavily. “I have absolute confidence. I can affirm that this is the pure-blood family's Devil's Blade. We, from the Underworld Sect, have detailed information on the Devil's Blade.”

The three of them were communicating telepathically, so the others couldn't hear what they were saying.

After the Underworld Sect and that expert at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine had confirmed it, he suddenly said in a deep voice, “We don't know where you come from. We haven't offended or crossed paths with you before. Why have you infiltrated this residence?”

Holding the dark blade, Ling Yun lightly leaped onto the battlefield. Lifting a finger, he pointed to the thirty men. He scoffed and said, “Never offended or crossed paths before? Infiltrated your residence? How dare you!”

“If you know what's good for you, hurry up and send the Zhuang Family out, as well as Tang Tianhao. Once you're done with that, hurry up and get out Qingshui City. Otherwise, don't blame me for ma.s.sacring all of you!”

Hearing Ling Yun's words, the expert from the Underworld Sect laughed coldly, not understanding him as he said, “Ma.s.sacre all of us? With just the Devil's Blade in your hand and the two people next to you at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine? Don't make me laugh!”

This was truly a situation where saying another word would be completely futile. Wordlessly, Ling Yun's gaze turned cold, and with a flash of movement, he dashed straight into the enemy!
