One person, one sword, sweeping through Heifeng Village!

Deep within the cottage, a burly bandit, known as the Second Master, had just finished his training and stepped out of a quiet room. He surveyed the area, a look of doubt crossing his rugged features.

He waved over a thin, nervous-looking bandit nearby. "Second Master, did you call for me?" the skinny thief asked, his voice tinged with apprehension.

"Has the big boss sent anyone out to gather resources again today?" the Second Master inquired, his brow furrowing.

"No!" the thin bandit shook his head vigorously.

"Nobody went out?" The Second Master frowned, glancing around at the unusually quiet stockade. "If no one went out, why is it so silent? Could they have snuck down the mountain to indulge in some flower wine again?"

The thin bandit's eyes widened as he processed the Second Master's words. He had been dozing lazily in front of the Second Master's quarters, but now he realized something felt off. The usual noise from the front yard was conspicuously absent.

"Something's wrong!" The Second Master's unease deepened. "You go tell the boss about the situation right now, and I'll check things out myself!"

"Understood!" The thin bandit nodded quickly, not daring to waste a moment as he hurried toward the depths of the cottage.

Meanwhile, the Second Master strode toward the front yard, his instincts on high alert.

Gu Xuan had just finished dispatching all the bandits in the front yard when he spotted a figure approaching from the back of the mountain.

[Name]: Mr. Li

[Realm]: True Spirit Realm, 1st Layer

[Fate]: Unremarkable (white)

[Fate]: The time of death is approaching (Black)

[Life Script]: None

[Recent Turning Point]: The ore veins of the affiliated forces of the Holy Land in the early days were plundered.

Gu Xuan noted that Mr. Li's realm was only at the first layer of the True Spirit Realm, and his fate was mediocre. However, the description of his fate caught Gu Xuan's attention: [The time of death is approaching]—a foreboding sign that indicated imminent disaster.

With a wry smile, Gu Xuan thought, "It seems Black Wind Village has sealed its own fate after plundering the spiritual stones from the Holy Land's affiliated forces."

Shaking off the thought, Gu Xuan continued his pursuit.

Mr. Li arrived at the front yard, only to find the usual guards missing. A faint smell of blood hung in the air, a slight but unmistakable indication that something was terribly wrong.

Despite the calm expression he wore, Mr. Li was on high alert, his mind racing as he wondered why the big boss hadn't come to check on things.

Suddenly, a chilling sound pierced the air.

"I knew something was off! You were just waiting for me to take action!" Mr. Li shouted, raising his palms and striking toward the direction of the noise, attempting to force whatever threat was lurking to reveal itself.

As his palms struck out, a powerful wave of energy surged forward, causing the surrounding vegetation to bend and sway.

But as the attack reached its target, he was met with a dazzling display of sword energy slicing through the air.

"This... is sword energy?!" Mr. Li's expression shifted from bravado to disbelief, his grin fading as he realized the gravity of the situation.

"Invincible!" The instinct for survival kicked in, and panic surged through him. He had underestimated the threat lurking in the shadows of his own cottage.

In that moment, the realization hit him like a ton of bricks: he was facing a formidable opponent, one who had already claimed the lives of his comrades without breaking a sweat.

With his heart racing, Mr. Li prepared to defend himself, but he knew deep down that he was woefully outmatched. The atmosphere crackled with tension as he braced himself for the inevitable confrontation.

He clearly knows that a martial artist who has practiced sword qi is at least in the real spirit realm!

And he is only the first level of the true spirit realm!

This also means that the opponent's strength is definitely higher than him!

"retreat!"

"Go find the boss!"

Between the light and the flint, Li Lao Er made a decision, and at the same time subconsciously wanted to withdraw.

His reaction was not unpleasant.

But it's still too late!

The sharp sword qi came in an instant.

Li Lao Er could only watch the cold light coming to his head, but he had no time to escape, and there was only a hint of panic and despair in his eyes!

"Do not--"

His shrill roar resounded through the entire hill, but just as it sounded, it stopped abruptly.

puff!

Only a dull voice suddenly sounded, and a stream of blood flew flying, carrying a head into the sky.

boom!

The head fell to the ground and fell into the dust.

At this time, he could still see the unwillingness and despair in his eyes, obviously not resting.

With the shrill cry of this person before his death, some bandits and bandits were alarmed.

They rushed out.

But then, it was found that Li Lao Er had been decapitated.

"this..."

"It's the second master!"

"He killed the second master!"

The bandits subconsciously exclaimed, and then immediately became a mess.

Most of them are ordinary people.

Even if some bandits are cultivating, they are only at the third or fourth level of physical fitness, and the highest is only five or six.

Seeing that the second master of the True Spirit Realm was dead, they were naturally terrified.

See this scene.

Without any hesitation, Gu Xuan rushed into the crowd and started to kill.

These bandits and bandits are one of the disasters. Everyone has a lot of evil deeds on their hands, and there is no burden to kill them.

I saw Gu Xuan slamming from left to right, one person and one sword coming and going freely, blood splashing everywhere he went.

Almost every sword cut out, a bandit was killed, and his head rose into the sky.

In just the blink of an eye, most of the bandits here have been killed by him!

The rest of them are also terrified and frightened.

"Who dares to come to my Heifengzhai to be presumptuous!"

"Stop me!"

Just at this moment, a furious voice resounded through the mountains.

And the bandits and bandits, who were still terrified at first, were overjoyed.

"It's the voice of the big boss!"

"The big boss is here!"

"Master, come and avenge us!"

"Kill him!"

All the bandits shouted loudly, only to feel overjoyed.

at the same time.

From the direction of the violent shouting, a figure wrapped in a mountain and tsunami-like momentum, as if a sharp arrow lashed out!

Gu Xuan followed the reputation.
