66: You're right, I really am arrogant! Who can withstand one of my slashes?!

"What a Human Race Prodigy, his methods are indeed impressive!"

Among the many figures, a gaunt, hunched old man slowly walked out, his voice echoing eerily in people's ears, like the whispering of Yin Souls, making them very uncomfortable.

This old man was named Luo Tianqiong, a Cultivator at the Zizai Realm Seventh Level, and the leader among these hundreds of experts, serving as the Yin Soul Sect's Outer Sect Punishment Elder!

Luo Tianqiong glanced at the pile of Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivators' corpses in the distance, his killing intent growing, and a sinister smile appeared on his gaunt face.

"Good, good, good... To have such cultivation at such a young age, you are indeed worthy of the name Human Race Prodigy!"

"With your Aptitude, given time, I believe it won't be long before you become a pillar of the Great Qi Dynasty. At that time, even our Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivators and Various Ghost Dao Sects would have to be wary of you."

"What a pity, what a pity, you are too arrogant!"

"The name of Prodigy, though coveted by countless people, only those who survive are true Prodigies!"

The old man's voice was not loud, but it resonated like a great bell in everyone's ears, shaking the entire valley, and even this mountain range.

Throughout the valley, the Demon and Ghost Cultivator experts, exuding powerful Qi, now looked at Shen Tianxing with dangerous eyes.

That's right!

Shen Tianxing's strength was indeed very strong!

This could be seen from the pile of Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivator corpses in the distance, which resembled a small mountain.

But no matter how strong, he was still just a Prodigy of the Zizai Realm!

There were not a few Zizai Realm experts present!

Ten Gates of Demons and Monsters! Six Sects of the Ghost Path!

They were born incompatible with the Righteous Path and hostile to the Imperial Dynasty. The Imperial Dynasty's Prodigies were their top targets on the kill list.

This was why they hunted Shen Tianxing!

And now, there was another reason!

This boy, facing their pursuit, did not hide or flee. Instead, he waited for them alone here.

Did he want to step on their corpses to achieve his name as a Prodigy?

He truly didn't know his place!!!

Today, this boy would surely die!!!

"There are many ways to make a name for yourself, and you chose the stupidest one!"

"The strength of my Ten Gates of Demons and Monsters and Six Sects of the Ghost Path is beyond your imagination!"

"Even the Human Dynasty cannot do anything to us!"

"Let alone you!!!"

As the old man's roar fell, his Zizai Realm Seventh Level Qi enveloped Shen Tianxing like a mountain tsunami!

Even the other Righteous Path Prodigies present felt somewhat uncomfortable with this Qi.

Lei Bin, Xu Muqing, and others frowned.

They had a bad feeling!

The Six Sects of the Ghost Path were much more harmonious and united than the Ten Gates of Demons and Monsters, always presenting a united front.

The Nether Moon Sect suffered the greatest losses, yet no one from it stepped forward first. Instead, Luo Tianqiong took the lead, showing their close relationship.

"With the cultivation of that old ghost Luo Tianqiong, even if Shen Tianxing is at the Sixth Level of the Freedom Realm, he will probably have a hard time!"

"Should we... make a move? After all, the empress's sacred edict has already been issued..."

Shen Zangfeng of the Azure Cloud Sect had a somewhat solemn expression.

He was very conflicted, as were many other Righteous Path Prodigies present.

The empress's sacred edict weighed on them like a great mountain. Nominally, they were here to support Shen Tianxing.

"What's the hurry?"

"Shen Tianxing is a Human Race Prodigy. Do you think he can't handle such a rotten piece of wood?"

"Just wait and watch the show!"

"Unless those few guys attack him together, none of us should make a move. We'll all just stand by and watch!"

Ye Wuyang said coldly.

Stand by and watch?

Is this really good?

This thought, Shen Zangfeng could only keep to himself.

In reality, the current situation was also very unfavorable for them.

With hundreds of Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivators here, if they acted now, they would surely become the target of all.

That would seem rather foolish!

Ultimately, this was all due to reputation!

Why was Shen Tianxing called a Human Race Prodigy?

Did the Prodigies of their Twelve Orthodox Sects have no dignity?

..."Old man, you're not young anymore, why do you still like to flatter yourself?"

"If the Ten Gates of Demons and Monsters and Six Sects of the Ghost Path are so strong, why, for so many years, have you been like rats scurrying across the street within my Great Qi Dynasty's borders, suppressed by my Imperial Dynasty's empress, unable to raise your heads?"

As he spoke, Shen Tianxing slowly rose from the large rock by the pond, reaching for the heaven's mandate saber placed beside him.

"However, one thing you said is very true!"

"I am indeed very arrogant!!"

"The name of Prodigy walks a path paved with layers of corpses, an invincible Dao!"

"The contention for the Great Dao is a struggle for sharp edge, a struggle for a single breath!"

"I have no intention of being a Prodigy! But since you call me a Prodigy, I will not disgrace the name of my Human Race Prodigy!"

"Today, you may all try!"

"Who can withstand one strike from my saber!!!"

As his voice fell, Shen Tianxing looked up at the dense figures in the distance, his smile, like his reputation, brilliant and dazzling.

The quality of those who came this time was much better than before!!

Shen Tianxing's gaze swept across the distant sky.

A Demon at the Eighth Level of the Freedom Realm? This person is indeed quite strong!

He doesn't seem very old either.

This is getting interesting!

His gaze swept over Yuan Tian, who had been standing there facing him in the valley.

Yuan Tian's cultivation was hidden extremely deeply. If Shen Tianxing hadn't already reached the Perfection of the Zizai Realm, he probably wouldn't have discovered it.

"Hahaha... Do you really think you can keep all of us here by yourself?!"

"Boy, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue with such big talk?"

"Do you know how to write the word 'death'?"

"A mere Zizai Realm Cultivator, yet so arrogant!"

"Why are we still wasting words with him?"

As Shen Tianxing's words fell, all the Demon and Ghost Cultivator experts could no longer hold back. Their anger ignited, and they instantly exploded.

Arrogant!!

He was simply too arrogant!!!

He utterly disregarded them, arrogant beyond measure!!!

Killing intent flashed in the eyes of Yuan Tian, Bai Wuwang, Shu Danqing, and the other Prodigies!

"Haha, exciting! Truly exciting!!"

"What a Shen Tianxing, this guy is wild! I like him!"

Lei Bin, however, praised him without reservation, with a hint of admiration.

Xu Muqing and Xue Ziyi, though silent, looked at the young figure by the pond, holding a saber in one hand, back straight, head held high, facing hundreds of Demon and Ghost Dao experts. A flicker of surprise appeared in their eyes.

They had witnessed Shen Tianxing's strength many times. Although they didn't know the true extent of his power, the strength he had already displayed was in no way inferior to those Prodigies who had long made their names. In fact, he might even surpass them.

And just now, facing Luo Tianqiong and hundreds of Demon and Ghost Dao experts, not retreating a single step, even boldly unleashing his sharp edge with such courage and spirit, was even more astonishing.

Today, regardless of Shen Tianxing's fate!

Just that scene alone, Xu Muqing and Xue Ziyi believed, showed that Shen Tianxing had far surpassed the Prodigies of these Righteous Path Sects!

Luo Tianqiong's expression grew colder.

"More talk is useless!!"

"Kill!!!"

Boom!!!!

Behind him, three martial Dao Cultivators stepped out, their cultivation having reached the Zizai Realm Second Level. Immediately after, more than thirty Vajra Realm Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivators followed!

This lineup, placed anywhere, would already be extremely powerful!

Violent and powerful Qi permeated the air. The Ghost Cultivators used their Divine Soul power to form a massive Yin Wind Ghost Domain, pressing down on Shen Tianxing!

That expanse of Yin Wind Ghost Domain, intertwined with Divine Soul power, instantly annihilated everything it covered!

The thirty-odd Demons' attacks, however, were much simpler!

Bang bang bang—

One by one, they revealed their true forms: ox demons, tiger beasts, giant eagles. Their monstrous true forms were incredibly shocking!

Their massive bodies swept across the land, stirring up invisible gusts of wind, and powerful forces emanated from them, as if tearing apart this Void Realm!

"These guys really don't put us in their eyes!"

Monk Yuankong shook his head helplessly.

The opposing side now had a numerical advantage. Even if they had some apprehension about them, it was merely apprehension.

The fact that the seven Prodigies from various Sects had not acted was enough to make the Prodigies of the Twelve Orthodox Sects not dare to act rashly.

If other Demon, Monster, and Ghost Cultivators attacked, they could do nothing!

A great battle was about to erupt!!!
