It seemed that a frenzied crowd of cultivators was slashing and using techniques to kill the jiangshi. The sky was filled with colors and flashes, the ground was stained with blood – both human and jiangshi.
It was difficult to fight these monsters. They could fly, had an annoying ability to escape with jumps, and were agile and slippery.
Xie Qing stood on the ruined city wall. His eyes slid over the ruined houses, countless corpses and skeletons, and his eyes darkened.
“What a horror… even if I am not that kind-hearted, it still makes me feel sympathetic,” he thought, and then looked up at the sky – it was covered with countless jiangshi: “I can kill only a hundred thousand and a little more. These bastards have bred too fast, someone has obviously been preparing this for a long time.”
Devilish cultivators. Xie Qing was on guard when he learned that they were still active and had managed to escape from the cage of the Sect of the Resting Eagle.
The first thought was that the famous Mountain King was a traitor and allowed the devil’s spawn to penetrate other continents.
However, Xu Mei rejected this idea, as they had left a heavenly oath to protect the cultivation world and never joined the devils.
“Suspicious. Although Master trusts him, I don’t particularly. But there’s no rush, I guess I’ll deal with this crowd first.”
Xie Qing’s eyes lit up with gold and the technique “Dragon’s Gaze” was activated. Now he could use it on several people at once, and if used to the fullest, a hundred would be directly hit and another thousand around would feel the pressure.
“Dragon’s Gaze!”
Changes appeared in the crowd of jiangshi. The monsters froze in the air and lucky cultivators witnessed the moment with ease and killed them. This was repeated with about two hundred jiangshi, and several thousand of them began to fall to the ground.
“Oh! Brothers, they are weakening, let’s kill them!” someone shouted in the crowd.
This was followed by a battle cry and the cultivators began to kill the monsters even more fiercely. Xie Qing also did not waste time and did not spare his Qi, using various sword techniques that were aimed at killing several enemies at once.
“Princess Sword Style – Sigh of a Thousand Blades!”
A bright light shone and some cultivators were blinded. They turned in shock to Xie Qing, who stood on the city wall, above him rose thousands of blades in the shape of a shell.
“Forward!” cried the young man, causing a shiver down the spine of every cultivator.
“This is…”
“A sword genius!”
Many held their breath. The Sword Aura of this technique was stunning and dangerous, leaving a small wound, and you would have to struggle not to die.
“Amazing!” many admired.
Thousands of shining golden blades, equipped with Sword Aura, flew fiercely towards the panicking jiangshi in the air.
“Kiiii!”
Pitiful cries were heard, and the jiangshi fell to the ground, helplessly screaming. Their bodies were torn apart by the fierce Sword Aura, and soon the “bombs” in the form of corpses began to destroy everything around them, causing damage to the monsters.
“Everyone, retreat!” shouted Xie Qing.
No one dared to stay in the same place, they immediately ran towards the city gates and jumped over them, standing behind the young man.
He was the target of many admiring glances. Most were also amazed that after so long, the Heavenly Sword Sect finally had a worthy successor.
For a long time, the swordsmen had maintained silence, development had stagnated, and now there was one who would lead the crowd, who would shine with light – a pioneer!
Many experienced cultivators sensed his bone age and were amazed so much that their legs buckled. One of the oldest cultivators looked fearfully at the young man.
“S-senior? What’s wrong with you?” worried the disciples.
It seemed that this senior was from some minor sect. His cultivation level reached the peak of Core Formation.
“H-he… he!”
However, the senior could not give a normal answer, his finger pointing at Xie Qing trembling. His eyes filled with tears, and he muttered:
“This young man… the future Sovereign!”
“Wh-what?!”
Many in the crowd froze in shock and their gaze on the young man changed with fear and admiration. There were also those who envied him.
“Holy shi-!”
Sovereign – the title of cultivators who have reached the level of Transcendence, on par with Xu Mei, Zhang Mei, and others.
It was not easy to find them, but at some point, the threads of fate would form a character that would mean this word: “Sovereign”!
The senior, who weakly fell to the ground in shock, was a man from the Li family, albeit a distant bloodline. He could see threads of fate from time to time if they were strong enough.
“This young man… a genius!”
“Sovereign? Well, for me, this will not be difficult, hehe,” thought Xie Qing, eavesdropping on their dialogue.
Of course, he did not doubt his abilities for a second and was confident that reaching the peak of cultivation in the mortal world would be an easy task for him.
“But… is this the end of the cultivation path? Hmm…” the young man wondered and then shook his head: “No time to think about it. Now there is a battle.”
Well, since we mentioned the battle, the situation was in favor of the cultivators. The jiangshi had noticeably decreased in number, but there were still many of them left.
Although Xie Qing could quickly restore his Qi, this could not last long.
However, luckily, after half an hour, the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect arrived. Among them was Fang Lan.
“Xie Qing!” her beautiful and sweet voice sounded.
“Hm?”
The young man waved his sword and killed another ten jiangshi in the air, only then did he turn towards the girl.
“Hello,” he waved his hand with a carefree smile and with the big finger of his right hand pointed to the crowd of jiangshi: “And I’m just cleaning up the trash. It would be great if you helped me.”
“Huh? Um, yes, of course…” Fang Lan bitterly smiled, discovering that his cultivation level had increased again, but her eyes lit up with hope.
However, conversations about this could be postponed to better times. She looked at the more than a thousand disciples of the main court and five thousand of the inner court.
“Brothers and sisters, let’s kill the monsters!”
The response was the sound of weapons and countless dao techniques aimed at the monsters.
Xie Qing sighed loudly and inhaled the qi to restore his expenditures. His gaze extended over the battlefield and seeing that his brothers and sisters from the sect were already actively killing monsters, he smiled.
“It seems that I have finally found a moment to show off…” thought the young man and smiled, remembering a cultivation technique that Xu Mei gave him: “Heavenly Cage!”
Boom!
There was a sound of an explosion, and in the next second, from beginning to end, the city was enclosed in a square cage.
“Wh-what is this?!” some panicked.
“Another trick of the devilish cultivators?” someone said angrily, trying to attack the cage, but in response, he only received a wound: “Ay!”
Seeing this barbaric crowd, Xie Qing rolled his eyes and turning around, released his qi to attract attention.
“This is my dao technique. While we are in this space, the monsters will not get out, and you will receive a boost to your strength. Act!”
After the young man’s words, many sighed in relief and looking closely, indeed discovered an increase in their strength. They thanked the young master and ran back to the battlefield.
This is what the skill card looked like:
[Heavenly Cage] | [Rank: Elite] | [Description: Heavenly Cage – a technique with an unknown origin. Depending on the amount of Qi, the cage differs in size. It can suppress unrighteous energy, and those whom the user considers allies will receive an increase in spiritual energy. It is strongly not recommended to use for sexual entertainment, although it blocks sounds… ugh, why did I say that?]
“…”
Xie Qing shook his head, amazed at this stupid description. It seemed to him that since the system had not written stupid comments for a long time, everything had been fixed.
“As expected! Still the same stupid comments!” thought the young man, raising his finger up.
After an hour, most of the cultivators were already tired. Xie Qing frowned and stood up from his place.
He had spent a lot of Qi on maintaining this cage, and now, seeing that the others could not handle the task, he decided to take action himself.
“But… this Sword Empress technique is too dangerous… it will drain almost all my Qi,” thought Xie Qing and darkened, looking around, he found Fang Lan in the crowd.
Thinking for a moment, he sent her his words.
“Fang Lan, I am going to use a large-scale technique. Ask the others to retreat so as not to be affected,” said Xie Qing, and ignoring Fang Lan’s surprised cry, continued: “After that, I hope you will take care of me.”
“O-okay.”
Although the girl did not understand what the young man meant, she nodded and carried out the order. Although many main disciples were unhappy, they had to retreat, because Fang Lan was from an influential family.
Then, under the gaze of all the cultivators, Xie Qing flew into the air – this was thanks to a one-time item that he bought in the store.
Then, Xie Qing narrowed his eyes, and then drew his sword, holding the handle with both hands and pointing the tip at the crowd of jiangshi.
“Will of the Empress of Swords… World of Blades!”
His voice was deafening in the crowd of cultivators. Many held their breath, for they already knew what this young man was capable of. But even after five seconds, nothing happened.
“Eh?”
“Was it a bluff?”
“What the… bastard, get down and don’t interfere!”
Immediately, dissatisfied voices were heard, and there were cultivators from the Heavenly Sword Sect who jumped forward, but…
“Eh?”
The one who suddenly jumped from the city wall was instantly chopped into thousands of pieces! The blood did not even have time to gush out!
Shock!
Everyone lost their speech. And when someone was about to comment on this case, something incredible happened.
“KIIIIIIIIIIII!”
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
