Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

"First Sword, I yield."

Meng Yu took a steady step backward, allowing everyone to see Huang Tianxiang more clearly—half of his face was slashed open, covered in fresh blood, including the teeth that had fallen to the ground.

Meng Yu could have killed him with one sword stroke.

"Wipe your face. The second sword, I'll aim for your right cheek."

Meng Yu said calmly.

In many people's eyes, Huang Tianxiang was a genius of swordsmanship, but that was in the context of the Western Desolation Five Directions Tower. Meng Yu was the number one genius of the whole Immortal Sect!

Through the college entrance competition, the fights in snowstorms, various pursuits, and endless bloodshed, he emerged as a true genius of swordsmanship—a genius who fought desperately.

"Very well, very well."

Huang Tianxiang spat out two teeth, swallowed an alchemical elixir, and then looked askance at Meng Yu.

"Right cheek?"

"Mm."

"My Ice-Sealed World is known for its excellent defense..."

At that moment, Meng Yu's body suddenly began to flicker—not just flickering but moving rapidly!

His entire body became exceedingly blurry, changing into dozens of positions every second, while his long sword raged with the wind.

Ding ding ding ding... The two long swords clashed with incredible speed. This time, Huang Tianxiang didn't fall into a disadvantage. Meng Yu had already announced his target was the right cheek, so Huang Tianxiang could follow Meng Yu's rhythm no matter what. Such a small area, how could he not block it?

Meng Yu's long sword, like the Mount Tai's Eighteen Courses, grew more powerful with each stroke, more ferocious with each charge. The greatest advantage of this sword technique was that it could overwhelm the enemy, but if it failed, and the True Qi weakened, the enemy's counterattack could be terrifying.

No matter, Huang Tianxiang was on the inside, and he only needed to defend one point!

Meng Yu had already wielded the seventeenth sword. After the eighteenth, it would be Huang Tianxiang's turn to counterattack. But at that moment, Meng Yu's long sword suddenly exhibited an extremely peculiar change, as if it wasn't just one of Mount Tai's Eighteen Courses, but the entire Mount Tai exerting force in this single stroke.

Huang Tianxiang's dense and flexible sword net was shattered in an instant. There was a snap, and this time, Meng Yu's long sword struck Huang Tianxiang's right cheek!

Huang Tianxiang's body flew over ten meters before hitting the ground, and then he struggled to get up.

"The Eighteen Falls Technique?"

He had never imagined that facing a Qi Cultivation Sword, without considering a counterattack, merely striving to block an attack on the right cheek, he still couldn't hold his ground!

With each clash of swords during Meng Yu's eighteen strikes, he had borrowed some of the force from Huang's sword, utilizing the technique of Borrowing Force to Strike, making each subsequent strike more formidable. More terrifying was the accumulated power, which by the last, had flipped Huang's long sword, striking his face!

And this cultivation technique, Huang finally remembered, was a common Body Refinement technique known to everyone as the Eighteen Falls Technique!

"Yes."

Meng Yu replied just as calmly, without arrogance or impatience, showing no trace of smugness.

"Then what about the third sword, what is it?"

Huang Tianxiang struggled to stand, facing Meng Yu.

"Your Sword Intent of the Wind is really quite good, combined with the Eighteen Falls Technique. In the Qi Refinement Realm, it's nearly invincible. But there isn't a technique without a counter, this time, if you want to defeat me in one move, use all your strength. Your previous sword strokes and techniques were all common moves. Let me see what profound, divine techniques directly touching the great Dao you proud sons of heaven cultivate..."

Blood dripped from his face, as if he was on the verge of collapsing.

"In the Lower Realm, people call me Fiery Young Master. Simply put, I'm also adept with fire."

Meng Yu answered indifferently.

Then, one after another, a total of ninety-six Fire Crows rose from behind him, encircling Huang Tianxiang...

"Stop!"

Someone yelled loudly; it was a Golden Core from the Five Directions Tower.

"Mister Bai, this is all a misunderstanding!"

A Golden Core of the Five Directions Tower tried to intimidate Meng Yu with their presence.

"Kill him!"

Bai Qianqian said calmly and decisively.

The next moment, a sky full of Fire Crows covered everything, and the howling sword wind drowned out all else. The Golden Core Masters of the Five Directions Tower angrily tried to rush over, but the Mountain Protection Array of the Moon-Watching Sect was activated!

Killing an emissary wasn't good, but it could establish authority!

Especially when the enemy was at the doorstep, there was no need for restraint!

...

The third sword, Huang Tianxiang couldn't catch, and he ended up as a pile of ashes.

Bai Qianqian prepared a table full of Spirit Fruits and Vegetables to reward Meng Yu for getting rid of Huang Tianxiang and was even happier about her husband bringing honor to her. Although he could have finished his opponent with one sword stroke, he chose to use three, which she found delightful.

This was supposed to be a celebration for just the couple, but many people showed up. Two Golden Cores from the Moon-Watching Sect, the Female Swordsman Green Bird, and that shy Flower Demon who shamelessly joined in. The Green Bird Swordsman excitedly toyed with the long sword Cold Frost, while the Flower Demon brought out several bottles of fine wine. Other Foundation Establishment monsters and Human Race cultivators also gathered, all with joyful expressions, in a very good mood.

Although at that time, the situation outside wasn't so good.

Layers of invisible barriers sealed off the sky, four Golden Cores from the Five Directions Tower were watching with bated breath outside, even trying to attack the Mountain Protection Array.

Generally, activating the Great Formation was a sign of dire emergency, the enemy would methodically attack, cutting off your Spiritual Energy and ley lines, then depleting your Spirit Stones, finally cracking your "turtle shell."
