"Humph! Big talk! You few, hold him off! Everyone else, withdraw with me!!"

Several bear demons as massive as mountains blocked your path directly ahead.

They opened their blood-drenched maws wide, ready to snap down and bite you the moment you dared to get close.

With their powerful, tiger-backed and bear-waisted builds, their bite force could snap even metal.

Yet, you not only didn't retreat or avoid them, you instead stomped down with Rocket Step, charging forward at an even faster speed.

A Mountain-Shattering Shoulder Bash!

The bear demon you collided with head-on had its body instantly deformed upon impact, crumpling like a balloon you'd popped, spewing a mess of red and black gunk from its mouth that looked like shredded internal organs.

The nearby bear demons were sent flying into the air by the residual shockwave, like bowling pins struck by a ball.

Seeing the Golden Leopard and other demons retreating, you gave chase without a moment's hesitation.

"Where do you think you're running! Do you think my Limitless Sword Sect is a place you can just come and go as you please?! Leave your dog lives behind!!"

You extended both hands, cold light gathering at your fingertips, faint ripples spreading around your fingers.

Shattering Star Ripple Finger!

Fired from both hands simultaneously!

"Thump thump thump!!"

These demon tribesmen were so focused on fleeing they had no defense up. Attacked from behind by you, they were instantly shattered into pieces!

"What?! The Big Bear family didn't stop him? How is that possible!"

The demons were terrified.

With no other choice, they had to turn back and fight you. Otherwise, with you picking them off one by one from behind, they'd all be finished!

You plunged into the enemy formation, wreaking havoc in all directions!

One punch! An elephant demon's eyeballs bulged out from the blow. You grabbed its long trunk and smashed it viciously into a nearby bull demon!

One kick! The antlers a deer demon was most proud of were shattered by your kick. You picked up the broken antler and stabbed it straight into its heart!

One elbow strike! A snake demon at the Spirit Sea Realm was hit in its vital spot, its health bar instantly bottoming out!

A crocodile demon seized an opportunity, opening its massive jaws to clamp down on your arm, unleashing its ultimate move!

"Death Roll!!"

You stood firm and unmoving!

"Roll!!"

You roared furiously right into its ear, making blood stream from all its seven orifices!

The arm it was biting grabbed its tonsils directly, then slammed it hard onto the ground, creating a crater several meters deep!

Two hundred demons besieging you alone actually couldn't gain the upper hand even after a prolonged assault.

All their various demonic arts and killing moves landed on you, with the most powerful one only able to give you a superficial skin wound.

Yet one punch from you could shatter even the shell of the turtle demon with the strongest defense.

How the hell were they supposed to fight this?

Watching you slaughter your way through the demon horde seven times in and seven times out, the demons and the Sword Sect disciples alike seemed to hear a BGM playing in their ears.

♫ Though we never swore brotherhood~ A bond from past lives is understood~ Loyalty and courage for the Han~ Brotherhood deeper than Peach Garden's span~

♫ ...

♫ Zilong~ Zilong~ Peerless in the land... wrong, Chen Yi~ Chen Yi~ Demonbane~

Watching her brothers die one by one at your hands, the Golden Leopard trembled with rage.

"Who stands in the midst of the fray! State your name!"

With a powerful, resonant voice, you roared.

"I am Chen Dong of Baling!!"

When traveling far from home, who would use their real name?

"Chen Dong! Must we die today?! We haven't done anything! Is it not allowed to just pass by the area?!"

"All of you must die!!"

You were already blood-drunk, covered in gore, looking more demonic than the actual demons.

What's more.

In a place unseen by those present, you were also unleashing a furious onslaught.

After a living being dies, its soul doesn't dissipate immediately, but floats nearby temporarily.

Because of "Materialist Warrior", you could see them, and could treat them as if they were physical entities.

With so many enemies, how could you distinguish who was alive and who was dead? Anyone within reach of your fist got punched!

These demons, beaten to death by you while alive, had to endure your iron fists even after death, their souls scattered by your blows.

Furious and flustered, the Golden Leopard shouted at the Sword Lord in the sky.

"Sword Lord! You are too despicable!!"

The Sword Lord no longer intended to take action. He felt you could handle it all alone. Hearing the Golden Leopard's words, he replied with amusement.

"How am I despicable?"

The Golden Leopard pointed at you, who was still slaughtering wildly.

"This person must be a Martial King Realm expert from your sect! You think I can't tell just because you disguised his realm aura?!"

Actually, the Sword Lord also found it very strange now.

He had carefully probed; you truly were only at the Golden Body Realm.

But your destructive power and physical resilience during battle were completely unlike the Golden Body Realm, indeed bearing some resemblance to the Martial King Realm.

However, the Sword Lord's vision was sharper. He could see that you were just strong in Vitality Energy, with a physical resilience far exceeding the level appropriate for your realm.

When using martial arts, your Spiritual Energy and Essence Energy levels still matched the Golden Body Realm.

The main reason the demon tribes couldn't defeat you was the difficulty in breaking your defense.

One punch from you, and they basically couldn't withstand it. A full combo from them on you only scratched your skin.

Seeing that her demon brothers couldn't escape unscathed, the Golden Leopard ordered everyone to scatter and flee in different directions, saving as many as possible.

With them fleeing like this, you couldn't be in multiple places at once, and could only try to kill as many as possible.

Unfortunately, you couldn't collect the demon souls of these elite demon tribesmen killed tonight.

You couldn't just whip out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in front of the Sword Lord.

If you did that, you could only say later: I found it!

Since some surviving demons had escaped, you raised your voice, activating a full-map taunt.

"I am merely a lowly Affiliate of the Limitless Sword Sect! You can't even defeat me, yet you dare to dream of assaulting the Sword Sect, coveting the Five Regions?! Eat shit!!"

The Golden Leopard, already far away, actually vomited a mouthful of old blood from sheer rage.

Too infuriating for demons!

The Sword Lord gave a light wave of his hand. The disciples understood his intent and split into multiple groups to pursue and kill these demons.

At the same time, the Sword Lord subtly released some secret arts, making it less easy for those demons to escape, facilitating the disciples' pursuit.

Violating the Treaty Between the Two Races?

Who saw the Sword Lord take action?

No one!

However, the Sword Lord left one alive, to have him return and report the situation.

He needed to let the demon tribes know that the human side still possessed formidable combat strength, not something their demon tribes could covet.

To prevent the demon tribes from taking advantage of the current vulnerability.

With this matter concluded.

The disciples pursuing the demons also returned.

They gathered around you, looking at the blood covering your body.

That wasn't just blood; it was the glorious medals of a warrior!

"Senior, are you truly an Affiliate of our Sword Sect? What realm are you actually at?"

Someone asked the question most concerning to the disciples at that moment.

You smiled and waved your hand dismissively, putting on an air of aged experience.

"Ah, I really am just an ordinary, unremarkable Sword Sect Affiliate, a mere Golden Body Realm, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning at all..."

The disciples looked at the gruesome corpses of demons littering the ground.

Not worth mentioning?
