Huang Shixiong sighed and said, “Recently, I went to the palace of the inspector more than dozens of times a day. Unfortunately, the leader of the Mysterious Frost Holy Guard of the Arch Palace, Wang Gandang, told me that the Inspector Ding is not at the residence of Mirror Lake and he has gone out for a tour…… I can’t go in. I can’t do anything without seeing him. Young man, I’m thousands of times more anxious than you!”


  “Hmph. It’s said that Wang Gandang has a good relationship with Mu Tianyang. It was Wang Gandang who had recommended Mu Tianyang to the Mysterious Frost Holy Palace. In my opinion, this person must be in collusion with Tranquility Academy. He deliberately made things difficult for you, Dad……” Huang Rong in a yellow robe snorted with anger on her face.

  Huang Lei, who had been silent, also said, “He must be deliberately delaying it.”


  During the last Grading Meeting in the sect, he served Ding Hao well and was praised by him. Since then, Huang Lei’s status in the Swordsmanship-seeking Villa rose. This young man with courage and strategy was neither arrogant nor impetuous and was deeply trusted by Huang Shixiong. He was a qualified candidate to be cultivated.

  In the hall, suddenly, there was a deluge of reprimands.

  Huang Shixiong snorted, suppressed the noise, and said, “This is not so simple. As the leader of the Mysterious Frost Holy Guard in Snow Province, even with the Tranquility Academy’s backup and influence, Wang Gandang would not dare to do this. I’m afraid……”


  But before he had finished his words……

  “Boom!”


  A loud noise came from the villa, and the earth shook.

  Everyone’s face changed.

  “What happened?” Huang Shixiong and others hurried to the outside of the hall.

  “Boom!”


  A series of loud explosions came from all directions.

  The next moment, all kinds of flames shot up into the sky from all directions of Swordsmanship-seeking Villa, and the light-blue veil of light in the sky suddenly flickered. This sign showed that the formation protecting the villa was being fiercely attacked!

  Then, a clear and rapid bell rang above the villa.

  It was the alarm!

  “Leader—” a disciple covered in blood rushed in and said while kneeling down, “leader, something bad has happened. The villa has been besieged. The enemy was so strong that the sentries outside were all killed……”


  Everyone’s faces changed dramatically.

  “Who is so audacious to launch a war in the holy land of Martial Arts in broad daylight?” they thought.

  “What?” Huang Shixiong said angrily, “Who dares to attack Swordsmanship-seeking Villa?”


  As soon as he finished his words—


  “Haha, what a big tone. The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect has been overturned. The small Swordsmanship-seeking Villa is just the fish that escaped the net!”


  A burst of crazy laughter rang out above the villa.

  The Demon Aura, as dense as dark clouds, rolled in from the west and covered almost the entire sky in the blink of an eye. In the rolling Demon Aura, the figure of a huge monster, like a dragon, was looming. Its scarlet eyes were like divine lamps hanging in the sky and they constantly shot out a grisly red light, which attacked the protective formation.

  “The Demon Clan?”


  “How is it possible?”


  Everyone was shocked.

  “How dare the Demon Clan show up so ostentatiously in Mirror Lake, the holy land of Martial Arts of the Human Clan? Do they want to die?”


  It must be noted that the inspector and Mysterious Frost Holy Guards were stationed here and many experts were here. Once someone entered, they would annoy the God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region, the human martial arts master. He was able to wipe out all the forces of the Demon Clan in Snow Province in a second.

  “It’s the Green Flood Dragon King of Heaven Hall!” Huang Shixiong recognized the demon expert.

  Green Flood Dragon King was a legend of the Demon Clan in Snow Province. He was second only to the master of the Demon God Palace. He was the second-strongest expert among the Demon Clan in Snow Province. In recent years, he had rarely made a move. It was unexpected that he would attack the Swordsmanship-seeking Villa. Now, they were really in trouble. No one in the villa was a match for this powerful expert.

  But it was not over yet.

  The next moment—


  “Boom!”


  A beam of white flowing light came from the south and slammed into the mountain-protecting formation, causing another shake.

  The rolling white Demon Aura was mingled with all kinds of seductive female voices, which made people excited, as if there was a porno playing in the white demonic cloud. It made people flush with excitement. Many disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Villa were turned on and almost couldn’t control themselves.

  There was another demonic expert.

  Huang Shixiong became dispirited.

  It was impossible for the Swordsmanship-seeking Villa to defend against the attack of a demonic expert at this realm, even if they did their best.

  “Huang Lei, go to the Divine Design Palace immediately and destroy everything inside!” Huang Shixiong made a prompt decision, turned around, and shouted.

  In the Divine Design Palace of Swordsmanship-seeking Villa, there were all kinds of records and secrets of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect over the years, exclusive books, including the Taixuan Sword-seeking Scripture, and some precious treasures collected over the years. When Huang Shixiong made such a decision, all the people present immediately understood what the leader meant.

  It was all or nothing.

  He was going to end in common ruin.

  Huang Lei was stunned. He looked at Huang Rong beside him. Finally, he nodded and said, “Yes, sir.”


  He immediately turned around and led his men to destroy the Divine Design Palace.

  “Ask the women and children in the villa to leave through the tunnel at the bottom of Mirror Lake. Rong’er, do this.” Huang Shixiong’s eyes fell on his only daughter, and tenderness flashed across his eyes.

  “No, Dad, I want to be with you.” Huang Rong was very anxious.

  Although she was rebellious, she was not a fool. She knew what the situation was at this time—strong enemies were coming. If she really escaped through the tunnel at the bottom of the lake, tonight might be when she said farewell to her father.

  “Obey it.” Huang Shixiong became serious and said angrily, “You are an adult. This mission is very important, and you must complete it by yourself. Remember, take your mother and aunts to escape through the tunnel. Child, if you really want to help Dad, take them out. Don’t let Dad down and don’t let the good men in the villa have worries!”


  Tears rolled down Huang Rong’s face at once. She said, “But, Dad……”


  “Just go!” Huang Shixiong became severe.

  Huang Rong hesitated for a moment, then her eyes were red. Finally, she stamped her feet, gritted her teeth, and turned to leave.

  As they spoke, a crisp sound of cracking was heard.

  In an instant, the blue veil above their heads was broken down, and the protecting formation was broken through. The next moment, all kinds of Demon Aura rolled in, and shouting came from all directions of the villa. Thousands of demons were screaming and gathering together. It was like the end of the world. The shouting shook the sky and got closer and closer.

  “Brothers, it seems that the Swordsmanship-seeking Villa will be doomed today.” Huang Shixiong looked calm, but there was fanaticism in his eyes. He said, “A man with blood in his body should die bravely. I have been in charge of the villa for 40 years, and I have a clear conscience. Today’s disaster is coming, and I can’t live in disgrace. I’m a member of the sect, and if I die I’m also a ghost of the sect. I, Huang Shixiong, am willing to fight together with all of you until death. I’m not afraid of death!”


  “Clang!”


  He pulled out the sword tied to his waist.

  Cold light shot up into the sky.

  “Clang! Clang! Clang!”


  There was a series of sounds of swords being pulled out.

  The nearly hundred people present were the most outstanding warriors of Swordsmanship-seeking Villa.

  Their eyes shone with light, but it was definitely not fear nor terror.

  “Let’s fight bravely side by side. Don’t be afraid of death!”


  Everyone shouted angrily.

  The red Qi shot up into the sky, and the momentum of more than a hundred people was like that of thousands of soldiers and horses, which made the rolling Demon Aura around them move away.

  “Swordsmanship-seeking!”


  Huang Shixiong shouted loudly and rushed straight at the demonic experts who were running at him.

  HIs sword radiance was like lightning.

  “Swordsmanship-seeking!”


  “Swordsmanship-seeking!”


  The others let out cries and charged fearlessly at the demonic experts.

  A bloody battle began.

  Looking down from the sky, many demonic experts that came from nowhere rushed toward Swordsmanship-seeking Villa from all directions like a flood. The beautiful villa, which had been standing for thousands of years, was turned into a bloody battlefield. Many pavilions collapsed and the waterside corridor was burned down……

  Countless demonic experts revealed their original forms, and wherever they went, trees and grass died.

  However, the warriors dressed in swordsman uniforms stood as motionless as statues. They would rather die than retreat in the face of the enemy, whose numbers were several times their own. These warriors shone at the last moment of their lives.

  Less than 30 minutes later……

  It got darker.

  These demonic experts that came from all directions surrounded the remaining 50 to 60 wounded swordsmen and forced them to the central square of the ruined villa. These warriors covered in blood stood back to back, roared, fought, and made a final resistance. The demonic experts fell in front of them one by one……

  In the sky, five or six figures, who emitted suffocating Demon Aura, stood majestically.

  “I didn’t expect the pusillanimous Human Clan to have such intrepid warriors. Huang Shixiong, surrender! I’ll let you off today!” The voice of Green Flood Dragon King in the sky reverberated like thunder.

  Among the crowd below, Huang Shixiong stood with a sword.

  He was covered in blood, and his left arm was severed from his shoulder. He burst out laughing when he heard that. “Green Flood Dragon King of Heaven Hall, Nine-headed Tiger King of Demon God Palace, Six-tailed Demon King of Evil Heart Valley, Wind and Thunder King of Wind and Thunder Palace…… Haha, good, very good. I didn’t expect that our sect could actually bring you here. It’s really worth it. Worth it!”


  “Huang Shixiong, a wise bird chooses the tree it will nest in. You are also a big figure in Snow Province. The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect has been destroyed, why do you have to struggle? Now, both humans and demons can rule, and the world is chaotic. The Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost can no longer dominate the world. If you are willing to surrender, I, the head of Heaven Hall, can give you a position and treat well. And the remaining 50 or so swordsmen can also follow you!”


  The voice of Green Flood Dragon King came from the sky, and it was full of dignity.

  “Treat me well? Bah!” Huang Shixiong, with bristling hair and beard, spat out a mouthful of blood. He laughed scornfully and said, “I’m a dignified and imposing human warrior. How could I be like those scum of the Human Clan and submit myself to demons? This group of good men standing beside me is of indomitable spirit. How could they be afraid of death?”


  What he said was powerful and enlightening.

  For a moment, all was in dead silence.

  The demonic experts who had surrounded Huang Shixiong began to step back.

  “You won’t retreat? Do you know that with my order, we can instantly smash you and crush your bones?” the Nine-headed Tiger King of Demon God Palace said with a disdainful sneer.

  “You’re courting death!” Green Flood Dragon King of Heaven Hall said angrily.

  “It’s just death. Why should I be afraid?” Huang Shixiong burst out laughing. “Heaven Hall, Demon God Palace, Evil Heart Valley, Wind and Thunder Palace…… Today the Swordsmanship-seeking Villa may be destroyed, but it doesn’t mean that the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect will be obliterated. Let’s wait and see, sooner or later, descendants of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect will seek revenge on you. At that time, you all won’t be able to escape. Hahaha……”


  He laughed wildly toward the sky, and in the end, he suddenly roared, “Swordsmanship-seeking!”


  These two words seemed to have a magical power, which made all the swordsmen around him, who had been physically and mentally exhausted, become energetic in an instant, as if there was a flame burning in their chests.

  “Swordsmanship-seeking!”


  “Swordsmanship-seeking!”


  “Swordsmanship-seeking!”


  Every swordsman was screaming and roaring.

  “Swoosh!”


  Huang Shixiong suddenly rushed up into the sky.

  His body gave off a dazzling splendor and his entire body resembled a scorching sun. His Qi became more and more terrifying and powerful. He charged toward the demonic experts in the sky like a flying moth darting into the fire.

  “Swordsmanship-seeking!”


  The swordsmen roared, and their bodies were also surging with flames. Waves of Qi surged violently in their bodies as they rushed at the demonic experts around them.

  “Dammit, these lowly humans are actually going to destroy themselves……” an expert from the Demon Clan exclaimed.

  “Boom! Boom!”


  In an instant, countless sounds of self-destruction rang out by Mirror Lake.

  This was the final radiance that represented their spirits and lives. It was like the most beautiful fireworks in the world, and it was so dazzling that no one could look at it. It made the dark night become bright for a second. At that moment, at least three to four hundred demonic experts who were closest to the ruins of the plaza were swept away by the terrifying explosions and turned into piles of flesh and bones.

  Exclamations and cries rang out.

  The Demon Clan had never imagined that at the final moment of the joint attack, they would suffer such a severe loss.

  “Boom!”


  The figure with a broken arm also exploded in the sky and emitted a bright light.

  The magnificent waves of Qi swept through the sky, almost causing the red moon in the sky to lose its color. It made the whole Mirror Lake look as bright as day. Like a meteor, it made the most magnificent scene in the world.

  Even the super experts of the Demon Clan from Snow Province had to avoid it immediately.

  Along with the most beautiful light in the world, the Swordsmanship-seeking Villa finally fell.

  There was a moment of silence between heaven and earth.

  The demonic experts who had taken part in the siege didn’t look too good.

  They didn’t expect that the battle would be so fierce, and they didn’t expect that the warriors of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect would be so strong, loyal, and brave. They had thought that they were a group of scattered soldiers who could be defeated in one blow. But these warriors were as tough as iron.

  “Swordsmanship-seeking Sect…… Such a sect should not be underestimated!” Green Flood Dragon King sighed.

  “If we don’t pluck them by the roots, they will revive! Such a sect must be wiped out. We must leave no chance for it to revive.” The eyes of Wind and Thunder Monster King were intertwined with lightning and thunder, and his killing intent was strong.

  “Yes, we must kill them all. Please send a message to Fang Xiaoan. We can’t delay any longer in the Swordsmanship-seeking Mountain Range.” Nine-headed Tiger King of Demon God Palace also had the intention to kill.

  Such a sect was worthy of respect, and the Demon Clan also admired those who were brave. However, since they were in opposing positions, they had to attack with all their might. They could not allow such an enemy to have any respite, otherwise no one could bear the consequences.
