The First Demon of the Chan Sect

"Crack!"

A crisp, cracking sound echoed above the small courtyard as a huge gap was torn open in the prohibition over Cold Origin Ancient City. Rolling star power poured down frantically through the opening, its terrifying force altering everyone's expressions! They thought to themselves that the old man must truly be desperate!

To everyone's eyes, following this sword strike, the Golden Armor Cold Element Guard couldn't possibly defend himself. However, in that instant, he managed to lift his sword and block the longsword.

"Ding!"

A clear, resounding sound of metal clashing reverberated across the Heavenly Vault. Many bled from their mouths and noses upon hearing this sound, unable to withstand the imposing force.

"What? He blocked it? The old man has given up his life, but could the Golden Armor Cold Element Guard do the same?" All the onlooking cultivators were shocked, hardly believing their eyes.

The Golden Armor Cold Element Guard radiated golden brilliance, his slender Golden Sword effusing the intense power of the Leaving Fire Law, firmly blocking the lethal slash of the Death Law Sword.

In that moment, the Void seemed to freeze; two figures, one black and one gold, one wielding a long blade and the other a short green blade, clashed and were locked in a standoff above the Heavenly Vault.

"Die!" Shadow Eleven, seizing the moment of stalemate, wielded a long spear with a ferocious and ruthless charge, thrusting the spear.

"Taking advantage at a time of crisis, despicable scum!" Long Xuhu, who was inside the barrier and witnessing all this, was infuriated. Known for his fiery temper and frankness, he immediately burst through the pale green barrier, the radiant and formidable Wind and Thunder Hammer manifesting in his hand.

"Puff!"

He lit up beneath his feet, and after a flash, appeared behind Shadow Eleven. Before the rest of the Shadow Demon Thirteen Guards could react, the Wind and Thunder Hammer had already smashed into Shadow Eleven's head.

Brutal execution, the hammer pierced through his brain!

The Wind and Thunder Hammer, sparkling with blue light, bore into Shadow Eleven's back skull and exited from the front, akin to smashing a watermelon, blood dripping from the hammer head in a particularly gruesome manner.

No one expected that this seemingly naive young man inside the barrier would act so ruthaciously, striking as soon as he spoke!

He did not use any Immortal Laws or Taoist Skills, simply utilizing speed and strength, instantly finishing Shadow Eleven, giving no chance for his Primordial Spirit to escape, annihilating both body and spirit.

"Old Eleven!"

Only now did the remaining Shadow Demon Thirteen Guards come to their senses, unable to believe this reality! Shadow Thirteen, who was just hopping around pondering escape, had now gruesomely lost his life.

On the other hand, the Shadow Lord, still locked in combat with the Golden Armor Cold Element Guard, was startled by the scream and experienced a momentary mental fluctuation.

"Good chance! Die!" The Golden Armor Cold Element Guard's eyes flared intensely, his taut figure suddenly lunging forward, deflecting the Shadow Lord's longsword to the side and simultaneously swinging his sword towards the top of the Shadow Lord's skull.

"Hum!"

The sword glimmered violently, wrapped in the power of the Leaving Fire Law, resembling robust red Canglong dragons, forcefully splitting the Heavenly Vault.

With a slight "puff" sound, the blazing fiery longsword cleaved the Shadow Lord diagonally from the brow, splitting him into two halves. The terrifying Leaving Fire, before the Shadow Lord's body could fully separate, had already begun to incinerate it. In an instant, it turned him into ashes without leaving a single drop of blood, dead beyond death!

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the sky above Cold Origin Ancient City changed dramatically, clear skies thundered with loud cracks, and moments later an immense snowfall of goose-feather-like flakes began, swirling and blanketing everything.

The temperature between heaven and earth plummeted, rivers froze, and for the first time in millions of years, Cold Origin Ancient City saw snow!

"Saint's Demise, Heaven and Earth mourn!" murmured the Golden Boat City Lord, watching the snowflakes flurry.

Driven to utter madness, the Shadow Demon Thirteen Guards believed that if Long Xuhu hadn't suddenly interfered, Shadow Eleven wouldn't have died; if Shadow Eleven hadn't died, Shadow Lord wouldn't have been distracted and subsequently killed by the treacherous hands of the Golden-armored Cold Element Guard, destroyed in both body and Dao!

All of these catastrophes were because of Long Xuhu! They were furious, agitated, and incensed!

"Ah...damn you Daoist, I will kill you to accompany our Lord in death!" Ying Yi roared in rage, his hand suddenly wielding a pitch-dark Treasure Mace.

With a mere flick to the sky, the Treasure Mace transformed into a towering divine column, emitting Black Light, enveloping several miles, and smashed directly toward Long Xuhu.

Long Xuhu looked up and his face instantly became beyond grim, knowing he couldn't withstand this strike, yet aware he was no match for Ying Yi, who was in the Saint Realm.

At that moment, a tremendous force of suction came from behind him and pulled him down.

Li Qingming, in his dark blue robe, appeared where Long Xuhu had been just moments before.

Instead of infusing his Primordial Spirit into his body, he opened his mouth and spewed out a deep-purple bamboo cane, grabbed it with both hands, and swung it effortlessly toward the Treasure Mallet in the sky.

No traces of Mana were evident, just a slow swing!

Everyone was stunned; although they couldn't sense any Mana fluctuations from the purple bamboo stick, the awe of the Great Dao was undoubtedly present.

"Clang!"

The collision reverberated, shaking Heaven and Earth, causing some cultivators with slightly lesser cultivation to lose their composure from the shock, turning their faces deathly pale.

"Ah! Damned! Damned, all of you deserve to die!" Blocked by Li Qingming's bamboo cane and completely falling into frenzy, Ying Yi, eyes blood-red, no matter who stood before him, drew back the Treasure Mallet and smashed it down again.

At the same time, the rest of the Shadow Demon Thirteen Guards were not idle; they erupted with incredible battle strength, wielding long knives, lifting Big Seals... each exuding an unstoppable force, attacking Li Qingming directly ahead.

The Silver-armored and Golden-armored Cold Element Guards around felt the power, enough to destroy heaven and destroy earth, their faces dramatically changing, and almost instantly they had left the battlefield, hiding far away.

Golden Boat City Lord watched this scene quietly, without stopping or scolding, oddly calm.

Below, Long Xuhu, the source of all this, stared wide-eyed and utterly shocked, never expecting his unintentional act to provoke such a deadly reaction from these guys.

Li Qingming's eyes sparkled continuously; the bamboo stick in his hand instantly transformed into a longsword faintly glowing with a weak green light. Swinging the longsword in his hand, he moved across the sky, simple and unadorned, yet with a majestic and overwhelming aura.

Dark and gloomy, ten Spiritual Treasures emitting overwhelming Demonic Qi fell like a cascade of stars.

Li Qingming wielded the Three Feet Green Blade, which only unleashed its Primordial Spirit when clashing with these many Spiritual Treasures.

"Crack!"

A series of crisp sounds spread across the Heavenly Vault, Li Qingming pacing leisurely among the Shadow Demon Thirteen Guards, each contact between his longsword and their Spiritual Treasures severing them effortlessly, regardless of their grade.(To be continued.
