Attack! Fu Die, the girl in the green dress, commanded her boyfriend and three senior brothers!

Yun Xiao had already witnessed the prowess of Yi Qingfan, whose Sword Soul could accommodate six Sword Rings, equal in quality to a Sword Warden. With 3,000 layers of Sword Aura which rivaled a Supreme Adjudicator, he was undoubtedly an extraordinary prodigy.

However, Yun Xiao was completely uninterested. What intrigued him more were the Life Sigils.

Without a doubt, these five youths had spent the past two hours discussing their strategy and tactics. As soon as the match kicked off, they quickly arranged themselves like a well-oiled machine, forming a battle formation.

Two stood at the front. One was the agile Yi Qingfan, wielding his sword and hovering around his companion like an assassin. His companion at the vanguard, a burly youth clad in blue battle armor, stood like a general on the battlefielda veritable meat shield!

Behind the blue armored youth and Yi Qingfan, the remaining three Inscription Cultivators formed a triangle.

Fu Die led the charge, with the other two at her back. One in a plum robe, the other in beigeboth men of heroic appearance, deep eyes, and a proud air, clearly of noble lineage.

Together, the five youths formed a 2-1-2 formation!

Yun Xiao, having seen the formations of the Nine Heavens Immortal Army, was surprised to see these Inscription Cultivators adapt so seamlessly to small-scale squad combat.

Their precise coordination is indeed more challenging than a simple mob attack," Yun Xiao remarked to himself. In this regard, he had underestimated them. Of course, they weren't here to simply throw their lives away!

The core of the five's strategy undoubtedly revolved around the Life Sigils!

BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ! As expected, the moment the formation was set, the strange patterns on the foreheads of the four Inscription Cultivators emerged, materializing into bizarre Life Sigils!

This was Yun Xiao's first encounter with Life Sigils! Compared to Sword Souls, these sigils seemed less tangible, almost ethereal, yet the runes etched upon them caused a dizzying effect to the onlooker.

These runes writhed like serpents, seeming almost alive! Though separated from the cultivators' bodies, they remained intricately connected through an invisible web of runic threads.

Sword Cultivators wielded Sword Intent, but Inscription Cultivators? Their Dao Hearts seem to transform into something equally mysticalSigil Intent!

At the heart of these Life Sigils, Sigil Intent formed the core, taking on bizarre and varied shapes.

Sword Intent was direct and straightforward. However, Sigil Intent utilized runes to weave the laws and mysteries of the world together, making them even more adept at invoking the devastating powers of heaven and earth!

This was the Inscription Cultivator's edge!

"Thunder Shield Sigil, descend!" The burly youth with the blue armor at the vanguard reached for a sigil entwined with blue lightning snakes and slammed it onto his chest!

BOOM! The Thunder Shield Sigil activated, morphing into three layers of dense electric shields, merging perfectly with the man's body. He transformed into a creature of lightning, thunder personified, exuding an aura of untamed close-combat prowess.

Clearly, this was the ingenious application of a Life Sigil!

"No wonder he's at the vanguard. He's basically their tank." Yun Xiao clicked his tongue.

As the Thunder Shield Sigil took effect, the Life Sigils of the other three Inscription Cultivators also buzzed into motion.

Fu Die, at the core of the battle formation, attached her Deep Abyss Sigil to a magic treasurethe Silva grade Hundred Blossoms Underworld Fan! The fusion of the Life Sigil and magic treasure unleashed beastly, abyssal shadows, dying the fan in the darkness!

Fu Die hadn't even waved the enchanted Underworld Fan yet, but a chilling aura already swept across the battlefield.

This was the second ingenious use of a Life Sigil!

"Skyfire Sigil!" The youth in the plum robe used his Life Sigil to amplify his daoist spell, bolstering the killing power.

"Dreamy Mist Sigil!" The youth in the beige robe merged his Life Sigil into his eyes. A buzzing sound rang out as his pupils transformed into swirling vortexes, densely covered in runic symbols.

"Four Inscription Cultivators, showing off four different uses of Life Sigils in one go? How kind of them!" Yun Xiao quipped. Experiencing it firsthand, he swiftly concludedLife Sigils were indeed impressive!

Strength was one thing, but their ingenious applications were another.

Yun Xiao's interest in Life Sigils was not just for their power but also to speculate about the mysteries of the Demon Continent! While he was still observing, the burly, blue armored youth, now a storm of blue lightning snakes, charged right towards him!

BOOM! Like a titanic beast, the burly youth stormed across the battlefield, shaking the ground with every step. His body, a maelstrom of wild lightning, transformed the entire arena into a colossal sphere of electric fury!freew(e)bnovel.(c)om

With a thunderous roar, he launched a ferocious punch straight at Yun Xiao's face!

Yun Xiao's eyes narrowed, and his three-foot azure blade thrust forward, tearing through space itself. Where the blade passed, the air cracked and splintered.

KLANG! His Heaven Burial Sword Soul clashed with the lightning-empowered fist. The chaotic power sent Yun Xiao flying backward, engulfed in a maelstrom of raging thunder!

Such a violent strike instantly drew gasps from the two million spectators!

Yun Xiao quickly cast the Wuji Dao Art with a flick of his wrist. Immediately, the thousands of lightning snakes enveloping him were pulled into a vortex, condensing in his hand.

Just as this tumultuous orb of lightning took shape, a cold sword light aimed for Yun Xiao's right templea seemingly simple attack, yet unpredictable and deadly. The assassin had arrived!

Yi Qingfan's strike was swift, his swordplay merely the culmination of his approach.

"Pretty fast," Yun Xiao said. Without even sparing him a glance, he redirected the lightning orb with a flick, detonating it!

BOOM! The explosion of lightning snakes forced Yi Qingfan to retreat hastily.

However, Yun Xiao's crisis was far from over! In the next moment, a massive abyssal storm loomed over him, a shadow crashing down on his forehead!

It was the Underworld Fan, enhanced by the Deep Abyss Sigil, cracking the very ground beneath Yun Xiao's feet without even touching him!

Meanwhile, the man in the plum robe, wielding the Skyfire Sigil, blew a breath of air!

ROAR! The Life Sigil unleashed nine fiery dragons, hurtling towards Yun Xiao!

Yet, the deadliest threat was yet to come. Behind Fu Die, two eyes transformed into pale, ghostly vortexes, like gates to the underworld, devouring Yun Xiao's very soul!

"Nine Dragons Roar!"

"And the Life Sigil Ocular Technique, Twin Ghostly Dreams!

In rapid succession, gasps of astonishment echoed around.

The combined assault of these five was intense and ferocious, every move a potential death blow. Even a Peak Master surpassing the Dao Heart Realm would hesitate to claim they could withstand such a precisely coordinated onslaught!

After the Underworld Fan, Nine Dragons Roar, and Twin Ghostly Dreams, the burly youth in blue armor and Yi Qingfan resumed their relentless assault. One led the charge; the other struck from the shadows!

Yun Xiao appeared to be in quite the dire predicament!

"Die, demon spawn!"

"Serves him right!"

The tens of thousands of justice-seekers watched with bated breath, their eyes ablaze with a glimmer of hope. That said, with the majority of the attackers being Inscription Cultivators, they were much more reserved this time around.

Not bad. Yun Xiao's eyes suddenly sharpened, and a lethal intent blossomed. "My turn now!

Amidst the airtight assault of Life Sigils, Yun Xiao's figure shifted dramatically. His white robe billowed out, and he transformed into hundreds of illusions, flickering across the battlefield!

That's the highest form of the Wuji Dao ArtsIllusion! an Overseer of the Sword Ruins shouted, instantly identifying the daoist spell.

Illusion that's already touching the realm of an Ignis grade daoist spell!

With this single move, Yun Xiao, who seemed overwhelmed, now appeared to be the one besieging his opponents!

BOOM! The Underworld Fan and Nine Dragons' Roar struck nothing but air, shattering the battleground!

The beige-robed youth's Twin Ghostly Dreams also lost sight of its target.

What are you looking at? A chilling voice suddenly sounded behind the beige-robed youth.

Blue, protect me! The beige-robed youth spun around in retreat, conjuring a barrier of mist before himanother insta-cast daoist spell!

BOOM! The burly youth in blue armor surged forward, a tempest of blue lightning in his wake. His body, augmented by the Thunder Shield Sigil, expanded to block Yun Xiao and protect the beige-robed youth.

"You think that can stop me from killing him?" Yun Xiao stood in the wind, his sword striking with lethal precision!

POP! POP! POP! His azure Flying Sword spun out like a Taiji fish gliding through water, accelerating with each bounce in the air!

However, that wasn't the most terrifying part. At one point, as the Taiji fish skittered across the air, it ripped through the void, vanishing from everyone's sight!

"Where did the Flying Sword go?" The beige-robed youth's eyes swirled with vortexes, his heart pounding wildly.

Suddenly, the void in front of him split open!

A streak of azure light, tracing a Taiji pattern, appeared before him!

Eh? The beige-robed youth's soul trembled in terror! The Flying Sword had bypassed the Thunder Shield Sigil and reappeared right in front of his eyes. Before he could even scream, the azure light pierced his eyeball and burst out the back of his skull!

POOF! The Flying Sword whistled shrilly as it sliced through the air!

A spray of red and white matter scattered!

THUD! The beige-robed youth fell straight back, the light in his remaining eye quickly fading. Only one emotion colored that pupilfear!

This scene, like a hammer blow, struck the minds of all who witnessed it. They weren't just shocked by Yun Xiao's killing. What truly terrified them was the inconceivable means he used to kill!

"There's no suspense left. Once one falls, the rest stand no chance," an Overseer concluded solemnly.

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

"Remember, although Exile Yun has been maligned, he made the Eternal Sword hum 100,000 times... Even if that number isn't accurate, he might be even more fearsome than Exile Ling."

"Yes..."

In the hearts of many, a quiet shift of allegiance towards Yun Xiao took place amidst their inner turmoil.

"Senior Brother Lingtong!" When Fu Die and the others turned to look, they were struck as if by lightning, their eyes widening in shock.

"Stay together, behind me!" The burly youth in blue armor roared, his voice tinged with the unmistakable fear of death. His squad's recent onslaught might have impressed the young spectators, but Yun Xiao remained unyielding!

"Think you're tough, do you?" Yun Xiao said. As his figure blurred, he reappeared in front of the burly youth.

"Pentagram Thunder, die!" The burly youth's Thunder Shield Sigil flickered, summoning countless thunderbolts. He roared and charged at Yun Xiao, as if all the thunder in the world was hurtling towards him!

Yun Xiao's expression remained unchanged. With a sword in hand, he gracefully slashed down. A grand Taiji diagram unfolded behind him, transforming into a black and white dragon coiling around his Heaven Burial Sword Soul!

"Taiji Dragon Slash!"

Many Overseers instantly recognized the sword technique Yun Xiao had unleashed.

Taiji Flying Fish was a Flying Sword technique,

Taiji Dragon Slash was a Palm Sword technique.

Yet, just like the earlier enigmatic Taiji Flying Fish, this Taiji Dragon Slash was utterly transformed!

HUM! Yun Xiao's sword split the heavens, engulfing the Pentagram Thunder. The black and white dragon twisted around his azure blade, striking directly at the burly youth's forehead!

"Thunder Shield Sigil!" The burly youth in blue armor gritted his teeth in defiance!

Heaven Burial's 10,001 layers of Sword Aura shrieked, tearing through the triple-layered thunder shield!

BOOM! With one devastating blow, the burly youth was cleaved in two! The two halves of his body fell apart, splashing the arena with blood. Even his Thunder Shield Sigil buzzed and disintegrated amidst heaven and earth, its destruction mourned by countless bolts of lightning!

"Senior Brother Blue..." Yi Qingfan, Fu Die, and the youth in the plum robe were utterly dumbstruck. The fierce killing intent they had just a moment ago was doused in cold water!

Retreat! Escape! The trio didn't voice these words, but their hearts screamed them. The youth in white before them, like an indifferent arbiter of the heavens, instilled in them what true fear meant.

This was the heavenly decree of the Creator Immortal!

"Think you can escape?" Yun Xiao said. In a flash, he sprang into action, his three-foot azure blade transforming instantly into a six-foot Sovereign Sword!

He elegantly stepped onto the blade, speeding towards them with terrifying velocity, sonic booms trailing in his wake, each dispersing into Taiji patterns!

This was the ultimate chapter of Taiji Sword ArtTaiji Soaring Immortal!

Flying Fish! Dragon Slash! Soaring Immortal!

With the demonstration of these three moves, silence fell over the crowd!

Time seemed to slow down. The spectators watched, agape, as Yun Xiao instantly caught up to the man in the plum robe, his body exploding into a mist of blood on impact!

POP! POP! POP! Then, that six-foot Sovereign Sword, like a galloping steed, found its way to Fu Dies chest, who turned in shock!

"You... mom!" Fu Die, terror-stricken, glanced at Yun Xiao and then sought help from Qingzan outside. But to her dismay, the barrier was sealed tightly, leaving no chance for anyone to enter in time.

"I, the princess of the Calamity Seal Purgatory, must... must..." Fu Die's beautiful face twisted in fear and turned pale.

"Save your words for the next life," Yun Xiao said calmly. Standing on his six-foot Sovereign Sword, he thrust forward fiercely, dragging her against the barrier's inner wall. A bloody hole burst opened in her chest.

"Ah!" Fu Die slid down slowly, her face a picture of misery.

As the body of the girl hit the ground, Yun Xiao's gaze met Qingzan's outside the barrier. Frozen in horror, her eyes were filled with killing intent. Trembling and eyes splitting with rage, she glared at him.

Yun Xiao looked up at her, his gaze calm yet filled with disdain.

This look of contempt sent Qingzan's fury soaring beyond limits.

"I'll make sure you meet a fate worse than death!" Qingzan declared.

"Keep it for your family," Yun Xiao replied indifferently, turning away from her. He walked towards Yi Qingfan, carrying his Heaven Burial Sword Soul.

"Die'er!" For Yi Qingfan, a scene like this was unimaginable in the blessed life he'd lived so far. He knelt down, eyes vacant, staring hopelessly at the body of his beloved.𝑓𝓇𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝑏𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"In the struggle for the Immortal Dao, the naive and willfully ignorant die first. Every cultivator must pay the price for their choices," Yun Xiao said, standing before him.

"But but you said you wouldnt kill me..." Yi Qingfan raised his trembling head, looking at Yun Xiao as if seeing a nightmare.

"Ive changed my mind." With those words, Yun Xiao's sword pierced through Yi Qingfan's throat.
