The initial appearance of a sword throughout the world

The man in black was ensnared by a flying fairy descending from the heavens, and an icy chill ran through his body, causing every hair to stand on end as an overwhelming sense of impending death gripped his heart.

He yearned to evade, yet his body remained rigid and leaden, rendering all his struggles futile.

He could only witness the gleaming sword light reflecting in his eyes growing larger until, in a burst of dazzling frigidity, darkness enveloped everything.

Lu Yunxiao touched down gently, exhaling a rugged breath, a crimson radiance flickering on the Feihong Sword.

"Skyborne Celestial Blade!" he exclaimed, invoking the technique once more, this time directly vanquishing a two-star combat expert.

The flawless and ruthless swordplay indeed wielded remarkable power, causing Lu Yunxiao's affection for it to burgeon.

"Skyborne Celestial Blade, truly befitting its reputation," Lu Yunxiao murmured, a hint of contentment gleaming in his eyes, genuinely impressed by its might.

"Yunxiao emerged victorious? Hiss, this sword technique possesses significant potency, its deadliest intent concealed within its brilliant blade flashes," Teacher Ruo Lin sighed softly, astonishment flitting across her gaze.

In the battle against the fighting master, Lu Yunxiao once again provided her with a stunning surprise.

"Younger brother Yunxiao is formidable, actually slaying a Dou Master."

"A flawless sword, an impeccable individual—Yunxiao, the young man, becomes more captivating by the day."

"A six-star fighter challenging and defeating the fighters, Yunxiao truly deserves his reputation as a genius."

Numerous students from Canaan Academy widened their eyes, transfixed by Lu Yunxiao's feat—a single-slash victory over a master swordsman.

This was undeniably an exceptional display of swordsmanship, prompting awe amongst the onlookers. Each gazed at Lu Yunxiao with admiration.

Lu Yunxiao's cultivation prowess was astonishing, and now, his combat skills stood out even more, marking him as an unequivocal prodigious talent.

While the crowd at Canaan College marveled or cheered, the man in black's actions drew the ire of the public.

"Old Li!" The black-clad man entangled in combat with a female instructor from Canaan College bellowed, anguish underscoring his cry.

Familiarity linked the two, and witnessing the demise of an old comrade inevitably weighed on his heart.

"So, you too can feel pain? Yunxiao's audacious sneak attack against Canaan College is the price he must pay," the female instructor chuckled, maintaining her assault with heightened ferocity.

"Don't celebrate prematurely. Killing Lao Li will only hasten your demise. He has drawn our attention."

The man in black retorted, launching an aggressive offensive against the female instructor.

Though her expression shifted, the female instructor's assault never wavered. Fueled by vindictiveness, she fully countered every move by the man in black.

Elsewhere, three black-clad figures swiftly surged forward, blocking Lu Yunxiao's path. All wore a faint veil of fighting spirit, unmistakably three fighting masters.

With one black-clad fighter dispatched by Lu Yunxiao's blade, three more promptly replaced him. As the man in black had forewarned, Lu Yunxiao's extraordinary prowess had captured their notice.

These assailants sought to eliminate Canaan College students, with Lu Yunxiao topping their list due to his exceptional talents.

"Yunxiao, beware!" The sight of the three fighting masters impeding Lu Yunxiao's advance discomposed Teacher Ruo Lin, her lovely visage clouded by concern.

While Lu Yunxiao might withstand a single duel master, contending with three full-fledged fighters posed a nearly insurmountable threat.

"You'd do well to focus on your own predicament, lest your distraction proves fatal." A male voice, dripping with strength, sounded as a powerful surge of vindictiveness assailed Teacher Ruo Lin.

Although her expression shifted, the female instructor maintained her defense.

Elsewhere, the black-clad combatants intensified their assault, ensnaring the Canaan College contingent. For the moment, escape remained elusive.

"Boy, quell your fantasies. You won't escape to save them."

"You're certainly gifted, yet an unripe genius amounts to naught. In our presence, your life ends today."

A man in black sneered at Lu Yunxiao, his voice icy.

As his words faded, two more fighters readied their vindictiveness, glaring at Lu Yunxiao with murderous intent while their weapons glinted ominously.

"It seems you're quite self-assured. Do you genuinely believe you can overcome me?" Lu Yunxiao maintained a composed demeanor, his voice even.

"Confidence stems from strength. You managed to fell Lao Li due to attribute restraint. However, we wield fire attributes—three fire fighting masters to subdue you. No matter your genius, you cannot stand against us."

The black-clad man spoke with certainty, brimming with confidence.

"Restrain me? You're quite delusional. Here's a thought for you: Next year at this time, it will be your death anniversary. Remember it well."

As Lu Yunxiao's words echoed, an infinite wave of sword energy erupted, its cutting aura surging.

Feihong Sword in hand, Lu Yunxiao's right hand held it horizontally while his left gestured, slowly tracing the blade.

Sword qi surged, and a bright red light suffused the Feihong Sword, enveloping the entire blade. A small crimson gleam shot forth from the tip, traversing hundreds of meters with an eerie chill.

Vindictiveness surged into the Feihong Sword like a tide, as a formidable aura bore down.

"Too late! Scatter! One sword... a lifetime!"

Lu Yunxiao's eyes shone, fierce determination evident. He swung his right hand, and the Feihong Sword cleaved the air.

The red gleam followed the sword's path, passing the black-clad fighters in an instant. Their forms wavered, weapons sundered, and three heads tumbled. Blood spewed, reaching two meters high.

Sword qi penetrated flesh,

Wind and sand filled the air,

In a single slash,

Life and death parted ways.

One of the three legendary moves from the realm of magic swordsmanship, the "Life and Death Chess," was displayed for the first time in the world, revealing unmatched horror and destructive force.

Three fighting masters, felled by a single strike. The name "Second Kill" move was truly earned.

Blood sprayed, and the black-clad bodies fell to the ground.

Witnessing this, Canaan College students were stunned, their black-clad foes equally shocked.

No one could have predicted that Lu Yunxiao, besieged by three fighting masters, would not only emerge unscathed but would singlehandedly vanquish them all with a solitary stroke.
