This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

At the far end of the Demon Race's camp, Desiccated Dragon Demon Marshal hovered above the Black Demon Flower, looking victorious, complacent and leisurely.

In the Eastern Domain's human race, there are a total of seventeen small to medium-sized fortress passes on the extraterritorial battlefield, but among them, only three can be considered medium-sized.

Northern River Border is one of them.

Compared to Falling Goose Pass, Northern River Border is not only larger but also the furthest from Yumen Pass.

It's like an arrowhead, a bridgehead, piercing straight into the influence circle of the Demon Race.

For this reason, the city defense formation of Northern River Border is set up to be extremely strong.

Relying on the city defense formation, which took great effort to arrange, Northern River Border, despite experiencing many battles over the years, has remained as firm as a rock.

Because of the dread towards the city defense formation of Northern River Border, the Demon Lord had specially approved them to bring along three Black Demon Flowers for this expedition.

It is known that just like human race's great formations can't be moved once established, Black Demon Flowers also have similar restrictions.

Once planted, they deeply root into the ground.

Unless forcibly separated from their roots, they cannot be moved.

This time they brought the Black Demon Flowers out, intending to use the lives of three Seventh Grade Spirit Demons as nourishment for the bloom of the Black Demon Flowers; otherwise, they would quickly wither once detached from their roots.

In other words, the Demon Race is using the Black Demon Flowers, which are akin to the foundational essence of a city, as disposable items.

Such resolve to capture Northern River Border is evident.

At this moment.

The spirited Desiccated Dragon Demon Marshal suddenly raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked towards the direction of Yumen Pass.

Over there, a Sword Light soared into the sky, and in an instant, had rushed out of the light shield of the Northern River Great Formation.

Desiccated Dragon Demon Marshal was initially stunned, then felt a strong sense of absurdity in his heart, "One person, charging into the formation?"

The Black Demon Flower is essentially an open strategy.

Northern River Border's cultivators either engage in a desperate fight, choosing to charge into the array to destroy the flower and die on the way, or stay under the protection of the Northern River Great Formation and await the moment it is breached.

One option means early death, the other later death.

Both paths lead to death, depending on which one the human cultivators choose.

Desiccated Dragon Demon Marshal considered both possibilities but never imagined that Northern River Border would send out a lone cultivator to storm the array.

What's this about?

Just when Desiccated Dragon Demon Marshal found it utterly ridiculous, his mind suddenly trembled.

Because, across the vast distance, through the tide of over three thousand Seventh Grade Demonic Cultivators, his gaze met with Lu Qingshan's eyes.

What kind of eyes were those?

Deep and dark, filled with indescribable indifference, confidence, and a determined killing intent.

At this moment, Desiccated Dragon Demon Marshal even had the feeling that he might die at this person's hands the next instant, with an inexplicable foreboding rising in his heart.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous! Between him and me, there is a gap of over three thousand demonic cultivators, and I have three Black Demon Flowers protecting me. How could he possibly kill me? Just getting to me would be a fantasy." He quickly shook his head and thought to himself.

"Furthermore, even if he could reach me, so what? When have I, Desiccated Dragon, ever feared a human cultivator? Without anyone from the Eighth Realm, which human cultivator could possibly defeat me?" Just as Desiccated Dragon Demon Marshal dispelled the chill that had inexplicably arisen in his heart, he suddenly saw a dramatic change occurring at Northern River Border, with overwhelming phenomena surging forth.

Thundering sounds inexplicably echoed between heaven and earth.

Outside Northern River Border.

In the instant of rushing through the light curtain, a sharp, cold light intensified in Lu Qingshan's eyes.

With a grip of his palm, light immediately blossomed, as if a pen of heaven and earth was dancing and writing swiftly in his hand.

A profoundly enigmatic and intricate rune appeared in his palm.

It was the rune of the Power of the Mountains and Seas.

"Return." He softly uttered.

The mysterious rune appeared, and Lu Qingshan gently pressed his palm downward.

An exceptionally peculiar fluctuation spread like lightning from his body as the center to the surroundings.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

As the strange fluctuations swiftly spread, everyone could clearly see the vast earth outside Northern River Border crackling at a bizarre speed, forming fissures.

The cracks on the parched earth stretched out of sight, extending for thousands of miles.

Crackling.

In the blink of an eye, the once-flat land became a scene of devastation, shattered into pieces as if subjected to tremendous destruction.

The vitality of this land was drained away.

Drained away by Lu Qingshan!

Desiccated Dragon Demon Marshal breathed heavily, his gaze locked in shock on the figure hovering above Northern River Border.

"It's... him!" In this moment, a strong killing intent surged within him, and his eyes flashed with a fanatical and excited glint.

"The Young Sect Leader of the Sword Sect..."

Seeing the scene reminiscent of Feather Demon City, Desiccated Dragon Demon Marshal finally realized that this person ought to be the Young Sect Leader the cultivators of Feather Demon City spoke of, who slaughtered the city with only a Sixth Realm cultivation.

If today he could cut down the Young Sect Leader outside Northern River Border, adding to the great victory over Northern River Border, what an incredible achievement it would be!

"What a pleasant surprise heaven has given me!" Desiccated Dragon Demon Marshal's eyes sparkled as he finally understood why a cultivator dared to charge solo into the formation.

It turns out to be the Young Sect Leader of the Sword Sect who once attacked a city single-handedly.
