This aura... could this person be from a major Sect?
Red Dragon Venerable only then noticed that Han Xuanji was covered in a dazzling array of Advanced Magic Treasures for protection, completely unlike a poor Loose Cultivator.
But if he was from a major Sect, why would he come to this desolate wilderness to Breakthrough?
Before Red Dragon Venerable could speak, a Soul Transformation Cultivator behind him couldn't help but say,
"The three of us aren't enough? Fellow Daoist, you are truly arrogant. Then I shall properly experience your Dao!"
"Let's see just how capable you are."
Upon hearing this.
Han Xuanji did not back down; he had already secretly mobilized his spiritual power.
He was cautious, not cowardly.
It was time to test the results of his many years of cautious cultivation.
The next moment.
Han Xuanji did not hesitate. Unsure of these people's specific strength, he directly used the first killing move from his strongest attack, the Flying Immortal Sword Art.
Immortal Flying Beyond the Heavens.
In an instant.
An indescribable Sword Cry, as if from beyond the Nine Heavens, yet also seemingly trembling deep within everyone's Soul, resounded!
Boom!
The surrounding space hummed in unison, spatial fluctuations spread like a tide, and terrifying Sword Intent permeated a hundred-li radius, erupting with heaven-piercing brilliance and stirring the thousand-li mountain forest.
Then, a figure holding a long sword, with an aura as vast as the sun and moon, appeared.
With one sword strike, the earth rumbled, and the mountains were split apart.
"Such powerful Sword Intent..."
Red Dragon Venerable's eyes widened:
"Who exactly are you?"
Red Dragon Venerable was also a practitioner of the Sword Dao, and his Sword Intent had reached the Major Achievement Realm. Han Xuanji's Sword Dao attainments were undoubtedly more than one level higher than his. He never expected to encounter such a formidable person.
Before he could even provide aid, the two Soul Transformation Demonic Cultivators behind Red Dragon Venerable were instantly suppressed and killed.
The terrifying Sword Intent destroyed their minds, and the invincible Sword Qi instantly turned their Physical Bodies into a bloody mist.
Too strong!
Red Dragon Venerable was, after all, an experienced Soul Transformation Middle Stage Cultivator. Even though Han Xuanji's move was extremely fast, he still summoned his Natal Flying Sword and forcefully blocked the terrifying Sword Qi, but the fresh blood spilling from his mouth indicated that he was not at all relaxed.
"Fellow Daoist, if you kill me, you will offend our Heavenly Demon Sect!"
Red Dragon Venerable roared loudly:
"Our Heavenly Devil Sect Leader is already close to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm!"
"What does that have to do with me?"
Han Xuanji was not foolish; he never did things like letting a tiger return to the mountains.
Anyway, as a Disciple of the Shenxuan Sect, he was already a sworn enemy of the Heavenly Demon Sect. After killing this guy, he would just continue to hide in the Shenxuan Sect.
Since your Heavenly Devil Sect Leader is so powerful, he should come to the Shenxuan Sect and try!
He didn't believe that a Sect as large as the Shenxuan Sect couldn't handle a Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert.
"Sword, come!"
Han Xuanji's mind stirred, and powerful Flying Swords appeared behind him. These were Soul Transformation-level Flying Swords he had obtained through daily sign-ins. As he Broke Through to Soul Transformation and his Divine Sense transformed, controlling these Flying Swords became even more effortless.
Countless Sword Qi crisscrossed, forming a heaven-shaking killing array, leaving Red Dragon Venerable with nowhere to flee or hide.
"How is this possible..."
Red Dragon Venerable was dumbfounded by this scene. Every single Flying Sword erupted with powerful might, clearly all Soul Transformation Realm Magic Treasures, and none of them were inferior to his Red Dragon Sword!
"Who on earth are you?!"
Even the Heavenly Demon Sect's First Saint didn't have so many treasures on him!
Han Xuanji naturally didn't answer his question, merely uttering a single word:
"Die!"
The next moment.
Wind and thunder roared, and heaven and earth trembled!
The Sword Qi, like a mighty river, crushed this Heavenly Demon Sect Protector to death. His Primordial Spirit didn't even have time to escape before the powerful Sword Intent had already obliterated him.
This was the power of a Sword Cultivator; in terms of offensive capability, they were top-tier!
This was also because Han Xuanji's Sword Dao Realm was extremely high. Coupled with powerful Flying Swords, even though he had just entered Soul Transformation, it was not difficult for him to slay such a Soul Transformation Middle Stage expert!
Seeing this.
Han Xuanji finally let out a sigh of relief:
"I'm safe."
To be honest, he hadn't been clear about his own combat strength before, so he had directly used his full power.
After this battle, Han Xuanji realized that his Sword Dao level had unconsciously Broken Through.
Perhaps it was the release of years of suppression; his Sword Dao Realm had directly reached the Realm of Profound Sword Intent.
"Indeed, I still need to let loose sometimes," Han Xuanji muttered.
After so many years of cautious living, it was time for him to show off a little.
Immediately after, Han Xuanji didn't linger. He took his spoils of war and quickly left.
The commotion from the battle was huge and had already attracted many people.
Han Xuanji swiftly departed using Heavenly Stepping Steps, then used Myriad Images of the Universe Skill to conceal his aura, and finally returned to Lingxiu Peak without incident, arriving at an Immortal Cave.
Han Xuanji had long since moved out of the Utility Disciple courtyard for the convenience of his cultivation.
This Immortal Cave was located on a low-grade Spiritual Vein on Lingxiu Peak. One could rent it for several decades with Sect contribution points at a discount. The price wasn't high, and a Utility Disciple like him, in the Late Stage of Qi Condensation, could completely afford it.
Han Xuanji was still shaken at this moment; after all, this was his first time doing something like this.
When he had just Broken Through, he had an invincible feeling, which made him impulsive.
Now, looking back.
He had been impulsive!
However, Han Xuanji didn't regret it.
Slaying Soul Transformation Cultivators with one sword—the feeling was incredibly exhilarating.
No wonder some people liked to challenge others everywhere; sometimes, fighting was quite enjoyable.
But Han Xuanji also knew that it was precisely because he had cautiously developed himself before that he could now enjoy fighting.
"These Soul Transformation Cultivators are indeed rich."
Han Xuanji took out the storage Magic Treasures of the three and inspected them.
Just the Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills alone amounted to a huge sum.
He checked them once and directly destroyed some Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques and Magical Artifacts. He didn't care for these things, and it was better to destroy them to avoid being tracked.
After this engagement.
Han Xuanji had some understanding of his own strength.
Even though he lacked combat experience, his Foundation, Sword Dao attainments, and Divine Rank Magic Treasures were genuinely superior, not false.
Many Cultivators, even with rich combat experience, were far inferior to him in terms of equipment, Spells, and Sword Dao attainments.
In the face of absolute strength, so-called combat experience wasn't that important.
Of course, it was still best to fight higher Realm against lower Realm. When challenging across Realms, he was also worried that his strength might not be enough.
"I still need to lie low first, at least until I reach the Tribulation Transcendence Realm."
Han Xuanji thought silently.
He hadn't become arrogant because he had slain three Soul Transformation Cultivators. According to that person's tone, the Heavenly Demon Sect probably didn't lack Soul Transformation Cultivators, and the deaths of these few might instead provoke the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Devil Sect Leader was still in seclusion, so the situation shouldn't worsen in the short term.
He had to become a Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert before the Heavenly Devil Sect Leader Broke Through to Tribulation Transcendence... A few days later.
Han Xuanji found that the speed of news transmission in the Cultivation world was indeed not slow.
In the jade token, many people in the Utility Disciple group chat were unusually active.
Many discussed the mysterious Sword Cultivator who had slain Soul Transformation Demonic Cultivators.
"The strength of this Sword Dao Senior is truly terrifying; it's unimaginable how high his Sword Dao attainments are."
"It is said that although this Sword Dao Senior just entered Soul Transformation, his Sword Dao attainments are extremely high. Even if he encounters a Soul Transformation Late Stage expert, he might not lose."
"To fight one against three, slaying three Soul Transformation Demonic Cultivators, truly stirs my heart. I wonder which Senior it is."
"With the death of the Soul Transformation Demonic Cultivators stationed in Dongcang Province this time, the Senior Brothers of the Demon Extermination Hall also took this opportunity to eradicate many Demonic Path strongholds."
Han Xuanji only then learned that the people he had slain were the experts arranged by the Heavenly Demon Sect in Dongcang Province.
With the deaths of these few, many Demonic Cultivators were leaderless and quickly scattered under the Shenxuan Sect's attack.
It was considered the dismantling of the Heavenly Demon Sect's first wave of offense.
However, even though three Soul Transformation Cultivators had died, it was actually harmless to the Heavenly Demon Sect.
These three Soul Transformation experts were, at most, vanguards.
And the Heavenly Demon Sect's actions were also very swift. They sent out many spies to investigate the true identity of this Sword Cultivator, and in many underground markets, they even offered high rewards for clues to his identity.
