131: Chapter 131 Sword Demon Dugu Yulong

As the words fell,

Zhao Yuanzheng made his move directly.

A sharp burst of Geng Metal Qi bloomed from within his body, and the long sword in his hand pierced forward. The Geng Metal Sword Intent, capable of shattering all things, floated suspended in the high altitude, shuttling towards the distant Xue Wuhai like a torrential downpour.

At the moment Zhao Yuanzheng made his move, Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu and the others also struck in succession. Cooperating with Zhao Yuanzheng, they each unleashed their own methods, wanting to kill the arrogant Xue Wuhai before them with a single strike.

Over a hundred years ago,

the five of them joining forces together were able to beat Xue Wuhai, who had even greater strength back then, until his Physical Body shattered. Now, even with Sect Master Liu Bingbing missing, they still possessed absolute confidence to deal with the Xue Wuhai before them.

After all,

over these past hundred-plus years, their strength and cultivation had progressed, whereas Xue Wuhai had presumably spent the past hundred years shaping a new Physical Body. Not only would his strength not have made any progress, but it would have even declined instead.

Under this waxing and waning situation, everyone's hearts were even more devoid of fear, and the Battle Intent in their eyes grew even denser.

Cultivation was like rowing a boat upstream; if one did not advance, one would retreat.

Over the years, they had all been progressing while Xue Wuhai was treading in place and even regressing somewhat. How could he possibly be their opponent?

Just as the four of them struck together, a towering blood river surged behind Xue Wuhai, and the demonic blade in his hand slashed out abruptly. A surging blood river directly shattered Zhao Yuanzheng's all-encompassing Geng Metal Sword Intent.

Down below, Lin Shen was situated atop the spiritual boat, secretly hiding behind the others.

His gaze stared straight at Xue Wuhai's terrifying blade strike and that towering blood river. Feeling something stirring in his heart, a lot of comprehension regarding the True Interpretation of Blood River Sword Control suddenly flooded his mind.

This wave of comprehension was immensely huge for him.

Lin Shen believed that as long as he calmed his mind, completely absorbed and comprehended this wave of insight, and made it his own, his own strength would definitely increase drastically, and the True Interpretation of Blood River Sword Control would surely advance to a higher level.

At this moment, Lin Shen finally understood.

Why was it that when experts fought, many Cultivators with low cultivation were so enthusiastic about going to watch the battle?

Turns out they wanted to find some combat traces from these experts that matched their own Cultivation Technique, and from there comprehend things that truly suited themselves.

Within Lin Shen's direct gaze in the distance, a Sword Intent blooming with terrifying Devilish Qi erupted, directly shattering the attacks of Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu and the others mid-air.

Immediately following that, another figure emerged.

This person was dressed in a black robe, wearing a spacious cloak on his head, with strips of black ribbons hanging down to conceal his face.

The Black-robed Man floated suspended in the high altitude, holding a long sword that bloomed with terrifying Devilish Qi. His body bloomed with extremely terrifying, towering Devilish Qi surging about.

"Sword Demon Dugu Yulong!"

Aboard the spiritual boat, a rather aged Golden Core Realm Middle Stage Elder saw the person who appeared and sensed the terrifying demonic Sword Intent on his body. His pupils could not help but widen abruptly, and his tone was incomparably shocked.

"How is it possible for Dugu Yulong to appear? Didn't he leave the Blood Fiend Sect and the Southern Wilderness over a hundred years ago to go elsewhere in search of Opportunity and the fortuitous chance for a Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm?"

Hearing Dugu Yulong's name, the others also changed their expressions, saying with some disbelief: "Could it be that this Dugu Yulong has already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm?"

Back then, the reason why the Five Great Sects joined forces to annihilate the Blood Fiend Sect was, on one hand, because the existence of the Blood Fiend Sect seriously affected the common interests of the Five Great Sects, and on the other hand, because the Blood Fiend Sect's generation of Prodigy Disciple, the Golden Core Realm Peak Dugu Yulong, had traveled far away to other places. Precisely because of this, it gave them an Opportunity to exploit.

If Dugu Yulong, who was called the Sword Demon back then, had continued to guard the Blood Fiend Sect, they would have never risked taking joint action against the Blood Fiend Sect.

After all, the strength of Sword Demon Dugu Yulong was not much weaker than the Bloody Butcher Xue Wuhai. Back then, they had to rely on five people joining forces just to deal with Xue Wuhai; if another Dugu Yulong were added, it would be hard to tell who would emerge victorious.

Hearing someone call out his name, the corners of Dugu Yulong's mouth hooked up slightly, and the demonic sword in his hand swept abruptly. A streak of terrifying Devilish Qi instantly isolated the sky.

He directly blocked Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu and the others, his voice icy and devoid of the slightest emotion: "Your opponent is me. I want to see how much everyone's strength has progressed during these years I've left the Southern Wilderness!"

Back when he left the Southern Wilderness, he went out to travel and seek Opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

But unfortunately, after bitterly searching for a full hundred years, he did not find the Opportunity and fortuitous chance for a Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm, though his strength had indeed progressed quite a bit.

Later, due to a coincidence, he discovered Xue Wuhai, who possessed a trace of a remnant soul and a shattered Physical Body. After helping him recover his injuries, he also learned the news of the Blood Fiend Sect's destruction.

After some plotting, the two decided to make the Five Great Sects pay a painful price to avenge the blood feud of their sect's destruction back then.

As for why the Secret Realm jointly controlled by the Five Great Sects here experienced turmoil, it was also caused by Dugu Yulong using the methods left behind by his predecessors to help Xue Wuhai recast his Physical Body.

"Just relying on the two of you? Dugu Yulong, things are different now; the times have changed. You might be able to deal with the three of us, but you forgot that behind us there are still a crowd of Golden Core Elders."

Hearing Dugu Yulong's arrogant tone, Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu let out a cold snort, the terrifying aura on his body erupting as he sternly shouted loudly to all the Golden Core Elders of Chiyun Valley: "Everyone, form the Formation and deal with Sword Demon Dugu Yulong and Bloody Butcher Xue Wuhai together with us!"

As his words fell, the five Golden Core Realm Elders who followed from Chiyun Valley instantly erupted with terrifying auras. They even rose into the air, the five auras of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth constantly erupting as they occupied five positions in the high altitude, bursting out with wave after wave of formidable auras.

"Where are the Golden Core Elders of Qingmu Sect? What are you still standing there blankly for? Form the Formation quickly!"

"Where are the Golden Core Elders of Lihuo Sect? Kill the enemy together with us!"

"Where are the Golden Core Elders of Shangyang Sect? Kill these two Demonic Path scoundrels and fight to maintain the peace of our Southern Wilderness!"

Three more voices rang out.

Wave after wave of Golden Core Realm auras erupted. They floated suspended, with a full twenty-plus Golden Core Realm Elders standing atop the high altitude.

At this moment, everyone was extremely confident.

They were numerous in number and had the blessing of the Formation; the advantage was with them, not the Demonic Path!

"Uninteresting. You want to use human wave tactics against me, right?"

Dugu Yulong sneered and shook his head. Just as everyone was about to make a move, he abruptly clapped his hands and spoke coldly to the surroundings: "Everyone, don't just stand there blankly. I didn't spend a huge price just for you to watch a show; all of you come out and broaden the horizons of this bunch of Golden Core Realm trash!"

Dugu Yulong's voice was not loud, but it resounded throughout the entire surroundings of the sand sea.

Accompanying Dugu Yulong's falling voice, wave after wave of terrifying auras surged from the hidden places.

At the same time, a chorus of battle cries rang out.

Amidst everyone's watchful gazes, a huge spiritual boat rushed over from the distance. More than a dozen Golden Core Realm experts rose into the air, and over a hundred Foundation Establishment Realm experts wielded Flying Swords, launching fierce attacks from atop the spiritual boat.
