61: Master and disciple

The Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom is one of the ten great super kingdoms in the Western Regions.

Unlike ordinary Mortal kingdoms, the ruler of the Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom is a Mahayana Stage Cultivator. Under her rule, Mortals and Cultivators live intermingled across the endless territory.

However, the once prosperous and flourishing Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom has recently begun to exude an Aura of decay.

If a powerful being skilled in calculating heavenly secrets were to descend, they would discover that the Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom is shrouded in a layer of thick black mist, with an incomparably dense Aura of death that is rare in the world.

"Has the situation become this severe?"

Su Quan, draped in a black robe, stepped out from the Void Realm. His eyes surged with a bewitching red light, and his expression was extremely grave.

Below him lay a towering city.

The city was extremely desolate at this moment, with only a scattering of people on the streets.

Their eyes were dull, their arms hung limp, saliva dripped from the corners of their mouths, and their movements were stiff. Looking closely, one could see a faint, blood-red vein beneath the skin of each person's neck, slightly bulging as if something were squirming inside.

"Forget it, on to the next place!"

Su Quan's eyes were cold as ice; he raised his hand and pressed down into the Void Realm.

Vast Devilish Qi erupted, as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth sinking.

In that instant, the millions of living beings in the city were crushed into a blood mist. Among them, a strange scarlet thread condensed, looking ferocious and seemingly possessing Divine Sense, as it tried to flee.

"Come in!"

He opened his mouth, resembling an abyss, emitting a primordial suction force.

The scarlet thread had no time to resist and obediently entered the youth's stomach.

"It really is a great tonic!"

Su Quan licked his lips, his eyes flashing with a bewitching blood-red hue. He did not linger and transformed into a streak of black light, rushing toward the next city.

A few minutes after he left, a golden sword radiance descended from the sky.

Seeing the tragic scene of an Asura-like slaughter before her, with rivers of blood and blood mist covering the sky, Di Yan's breath hitched. Her face turned deathly pale, her delicate body trembled uncontrollably, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her beautiful face.

Just in this one city alone, the number of living beings must be in the millions, right?

Among the Devil Heads she had slain before, none could compare to this!

Could it be...

Di Yan's pupils trembled violently as she suddenly recalled what Zhang Bufan had once told her.

The reason the Burial Heaven Demon Lord is revered as the Demon Lord by those unruly Devil Heads, besides his strength being the best in the world, is more importantly because his Devilish intent is even more terrifying than anyone else's!

With no time to think, she transformed back into a golden sword light and flew forward.

However, Su Quan's efficiency exceeded her imagination.

Along the way, she never saw the youth's figure; all she saw were dead cities where all life had been slaughtered, creating monstrous sins.

"It shouldn't be like this!"

Di Yan bit her cherry lips, her eyes turning blood-red, and she murmured, "Even though they are weak in strength, they still have their Mother-Father and families, and they have seven emotions and six desires. They should not become food for Cultivators!"

Perhaps only those who have experienced trauma and suffering since childhood can better understand the preciousness of life and resonate with it.

"Burning Essence Blood, Divine Sword Escape Technique!"

The young girl was willing to overdraw her foundation to stop her Revered Master before he committed the next atrocity!

The Blazing Sun Capital. This is the most prosperous city in the Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom.

The number of living beings living within it is calculated in the tens of billions.

Even with those strange scarlet veins wreaking havoc, the vast, sea-like Aura of life could still bring a sense of shock to anyone.

"Do I really have to kill all these people?"

Su Quan stood in the air, subconsciously swallowing his saliva.

Although he had inherited all the memories of the Burial Heaven Demon Lord, and his Devil Heart had long been tempered to be incomparably indifferent and cold, he still felt a tremor in his heart at the thought of slaughtering tens of billions of living beings.

Fortunately, he had not yet attained the Dao and achieved Ascension.

If an Immortal dared to slaughter Mortals so wantonly, the karmic fire of sin that would descend would be enough to send them to Reincarnation.

"But why hasn't Xiao Yan arrived yet? Has the escape technique I taught her been taught to a dog?"

The youth frowned and looked far into the horizon.

Just as his voice fell, a brilliant sword radiance appeared, tearing through the sky and spanning ten thousand miles.

It's here!

Su Quan's spirits lifted. He quickly adjusted his expression, his palms emitting endless Devilish Qi, ready to press down toward the capital.

The ordinary people living here seemed to sense the scent of death.

They trembled, they knelt, they begged for mercy, curled up and shivering, looking so desperate and helpless.

"Stop!"

Di Yan hid her delicate body in a black robe and altered her voice, making it sound incomparably hoarse.

"Oh? Who are you?"

Su Quan stopped immediately, turned around, and feigned a question.

Di Yan remained silent. She just looked up quietly. Even though the Revered Master she had longed for was right in front of her, she dared not remove her disguise to reveal her identity, and she was even standing on the opposing side.

Seeing that the young girl did not speak, Su Quan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he speculated, "Draped in a black robe, skilled with the sword, and a peak powerhouse at the Mahayana Perfection. If you aren't that old Immortal Sword Absolute Dust, you must be that newly ascended Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal, right?"

Di Yan's delicate body trembled slightly. She forced herself to remain calm, turned her head to the side, and dared not look directly into her Revered Master's eyes. She snorted coldly, "So what if I am?"

"What? Has the dignified Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal descended here just to slay me, this Demon Lord?" Su Quan suddenly laughed. "I have long heard that the Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal's cultivation is heaven-defying. Today, I really must have a good exchange with you!"

Di Yan's tone was slightly hurried as she said, "I have no intention of fighting you. I came here only to save these tens of billions of innocent lives!"

"What if I insist on killing them!" Su Quan's smile did not fade, but his words caused the atmosphere to solidify.

Silence, a deathly silence.

After a long while, Di Yan swallowed with difficulty. It seemed she had made a decision. She suddenly looked up, her eyes bursting with sharp sword radiance. "Then you will have to ask whether the sword in my hand agrees!"

"Hahaha, then come and try. For thousands of years, no one has ever dared to tell me what to do!"

Su Quan's body erupted with monstrous Devilish flames, and he pressed his hands down into the void.

An extremely terrifying force compressed the space, resembling waves, and crushed down toward the city.

"How dare you!"

Di Yan was both shocked and angry.

At this moment, her Dao Heart and Heart Demon became incomparably profound. She forgot her Revered Master's identity, and the "Zhu Xian" sword, which had been tempered into a top-grade Magical Artifact, emitted a crisp sword chime that resonated through the Void Realm.

Drawing the sword, the world was shocked!

In Su Quan's pupils, the phantom images of countless sharp swords were reflected, among which the sword Qi in the very center was the most dazzling, spanning the rainbow with the momentum of a thunderbolt.

However, on the youth's stunning face that could topple nations, a faint smile was still maintained.

He even gave up resistance, letting the extremely sharp sword tip pierce right in front of him.

Was a generation of Demon Lord about to fall here?

This was the thought that surfaced in the minds of all the Cultivators watching this battle.

However, that sword, which seemed capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, stopped at the youth's throat, not even managing to scratch a trace of skin.

The young girl bit her cherry lips tightly, her monstrous Aura shattered instantly, and her hand holding the sword trembled violently, posing no threat at all.

Su Quan stood with his hands behind his back, a smile playing on his lips. His deep eyes seemed to be able to see through the young girl's veil. He spoke, his tone inexplicable: "Xiao Yan, if you can't even hold your sword steady, how can you talk about being the best in the world?"

"You deserve a beating!"
