“Disciples of Chopping Sun City? Oh, you mean those pathetic vermin I killed with merely skin left yesterday?” A tall and lanky Demon man stood on the steps, sneering. “I was the one who killed them. I also sucked all their blood. It tasted quite ordinary. Are you their fellow disciple?”


  “You’ve gone too far. Not only did your Blood-Sampling Peak forcibly occupy our House of Wine, you even killed our Chopping Sun City’s disciples. Do you really think we Humans are so incompetent?” Dao Qingcheng cried harshly with a murderous look.

  “Hahaha, you’re absolutely right.” The long-faced Demon expert laughed loudly. “Even if I bully you, incompetent Humans, what can you do? You’re just vermin to us. We can kill anyone that we like. You’re just blood nourishment for our Demon Clan. You can’t accept this?”


  The arrogant attitude of the Demon Clan enraged all the surrounding Human warriors. Their eyes spat fire.

  However, some experts of the Demon Clan merely laughed, as they watched this scene gloatingly.

  “A life for a life.” Dao Qingcheng raised his hand, gripping the hilt of the giant saber before him.

  “Excellent,” the long-faced Demon expert said with a disdainful smile, “I can’t wait any longer. Hurry up and attack. Haha, I can’t wait to suck your blood dry.”


  The scar on Dao Qingcheng’s face wiggled, and he pulled out his giant blue saber.

  Wisps of saber Qi emanated from his body, and his dauntless fighting spirit soared into the sky. After two years of diligent cultivation, his Qi had reached the peak of the Great Grandmaster Realm—just one step away from the Martial King Realm.

  Behind him, the dozen or so disciples of Chopping Sun City also pulled out their long sabers, determined to fight to the death.

  “Wait a minute.” Someone suddenly dashed out from the side and intercepted Dao Qingcheng.

  “Brother Dao, you mustn’t attack,” A beautiful woman spoke, who seemed to be in her 20s. With her ravishing countenance, graceful figure, long, slender willow-like eyebrows, her expression was charming. Her eyes rippled as she gazed intently at him. This fair-skinned lady was in a purple dress and was also of quite extraordinary strength.

  The lady grabbed Dao Qingcheng and said, “Brother Dao, we’re now in a critical situation. We’re negotiating a treaty. You mustn’t attack and give the Demon Clan an excuse. Think of the big situation and bear with them!”


  “The big situation? What big situation? You mean us living like dogs with tails between our legs?” Dao Qingcheng burst out laughing. “I only know the right for the Human Clan to survive. That right has always been fought with blood and sword. When did tolerance ever improve the general situation?”


  “But…… you’re not his match. You’re courting death!” The beautiful woman frowned at last, giving him a direct explanation.

  “Xia Nishang, please get out of my way. You won’t understand. As a saberman, it’s a shame if I can’t stand up for my fellow disciples.” Dao Qingcheng’s eyes were gleaming with divine light. He said solemnly, “So what if I’m not his match? I’ll just fight. I will only allow my long saber to snap, not bend. If I die today, hopefully I can inject a little pluck into the Human Clan of our Snow Province. We mustn’t cower just for the sake of the big situation!”


  He spoke dauntlessly, and his stirring words reverberated like clanging swords and spears.

  The complexions of many Human Clan warriors also changed. They felt their blood surging in their veins.

  Xia Nishang was stunned and did not know what to say.

  Dao Qingcheng was a member of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. His death would benefit the Leiyin Sect, who had always been at loggerheads with the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Had it not been Ding Hao swiftly and unexpectedly suppressing her sect, the Leiyin sect would not have slipped down the local hierarchy. It would have been as powerful as the nine major sects.

  But as the current head of the Leiyin Sect, Xia Nishang, the Heaven Wind Devil Girl, was looking from the Human perspective. She still hoped to talk Dao Qingcheng out of attacking. After all, he was one of the major Human Clan talents of Snow Province. He had so much potential, and his death would be a great loss to them.

  But she was made speechless by Dao Qingcheng’s words.

  Xia Nishang lowered her head and silently stepped to one side.

  “The Human Clan doesn’t need the Demon Clan to pity us. If someone has to bleed to stop our genocide, let me spill the first drop of blood. Charge!”


  Dao Qingcheng bellowed, stabbing out his saber resolutely.

  His saber aura shattered the void like an arching rainbow.

  “Haha, very good. Remember, you’re the one who attacked first. Then die!” The tall and lanky Demon expert burst out laughing. A strong gale suddenly erupted around him, and a strong Demon Aura radiated outward, sweeping countless Humans off their feet like a hurricane.

  “A senior expert at the Demon King Realm!” Someone gasped.

  The complexions of every onlooking Human experts changed.

  Dao Qingcheng was in trouble. He had not yet reached the Martial King Realm. It was impossible for him to defeat such a powerful opponent. He would have to die for sure.

  Bam!

  There was a clash. The Saber Qi and Demon Aura dissipated.

  Facing an opponent whose strength far exceeded his, Dao Qingcheng’s body merely swayed. He was not at a disadvantage at all. He continued to move forward, taking one step forward first. His long blue saber tore through the air. A terrible force surged out again.

  A blue Saber Qi hurtled toward the Demon Clan expert, intending to slay.

  “Haha, not too bad. But not good enough.” The tall and lanky Demon expert guffawed and threw a punch.

  Boom!

  The blue Saber Qi shattered.

  Dao Qingcheng’s hair band broke. His long hair scattered like a cascading waterfall.

  He teetered again, and his face momentarily flushed crimson. Not only did he not retreat, but he also took a big step forward and slashed again.

  It was a life-and-death fight.

  “Let’s see how long you can last……” The Demon expert’s complexion changed and he started to look a little more serious. Gathering all his strength in his right fist, he punched out.

  A pale red Demon Aura light beam shot out like a bolt of lightning.

  Dao Qingcheng’s expression was solemn. Fighting desire raged in his eyes as he once again struck out.

  Boom!

  The Saber Qi and Demon Aura collided and shattered.

  The nearby crowd was forced to retreat by the energy fluctuations. Dozens of Chopping Sun City’s disciples, who were the closest to them, were directly blasted away.

  “Urggh!”


  Dao Qingcheng’s body trembled violently and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He would rather die than retreat. Gnashing his teeth, he took another step forward and swung his long saber.

  The blue Saber Qi was unstoppable.

  This saberman would fight to the death without retreating.

  He would rather snap than bend.

  This was the mysterious essence of the Chopping Sun Saber Technique from Chopping Sun City.

  “Humph, a reckless creature that doesn’t fear death!” The long-faced Demon expert’s complexion changed drastically. He no longer held back and threw a punch with all his might.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Terrifying energy burst out.

  A figure drenched in blood flew backward.

  “Eldest Senior Brother!”


  “Sect Leader-to-be……”


  The disciples of Chopping Sun City rushed up at once. That bloody figure was Dao Qingcheng, his blue gown totally soaked in blood. Now seriously injured, he seemed to have been fished out of a blood pool.

  “Hahaha……” Dao Qingcheng’s face was streaked with blood. He propped himself up on the long broken blue saber, laughing loudly and refusing to collapse.

  On the other side.

  The lanky and long-faced Demon expert roared angrily.

  One of his arms had been severed by the saber blade.

  He was too careless.

  This d*mn human lad, heedless of death, had slashed off one of his arms. At that instant when they fought, his determined, ferocious eyes shocked the lanky and long-faced Demon expert.

  This was so humiliating.

  He could not forgive himself. To have been injured by a puny Human whose strength was so much lower than his!

  “You vermin, I won’t spare you…… Go to hell! Die, all of you!”


  Furious, the lanky and long-faced Demon expert’s figure flashed. His Demon Aura at the Demon King Realm burst out wildly, like a mountain range crushing down on Dao Qingcheng.

  Before its horrific power, more than a dozen disciples of Chopping Sun City spat out blood and were thrown backward.

  Dao Qingcheng had exhausted all of his strength and was unable to dodge. However, propping himself up on the broken saber, he was fearless. His long hair streamed wildly in the air, as he stared at the Demon expert’s fist looming larger and larger in his sight.

  “Hahaha……” He burst into maniacal laughter.

  The countless Human experts around him did not have time to save him. There were not many real masters among the Human Clan. Most of those around Mirror Lake were Demons.

  Right at this moment—


  “Hold it!”


  A light cyan Qi gushed over from the side, dragging Dao Qingcheng, who was unable to retaliate, to one side at this critical moment, allowing him to dodge the deadly blow.

  That person who pulled him aside was Xia Nishang, the Sky Wind Devil Girl—the female leader of the Leiyin Sect.

  “Hmm?”


  The tall, lanky, and long-faced Demon expert was taken aback. A cruel smile immediately appeared on his lips. “You’ve also decided to attack? How dare you save him right under my nose! Good, very good. The blood of a beautiful Human woman should taste good. You shall die too!”


  Before his voice died away, a Demonic Aura burst out. A pale red Demonic Aura light beam shot out.

  “Wait……” Xia Nishang wanted to say something, but the attacking aura had already reached her.

  The beautiful leader’s complexion changed greatly. Gritting her teeth, she activated the Lesser Heaven Cyclone. Cyan gales swirled around her, bursting out with her strongest power to resist this attack.

  But the gap between them was too big.

  The Leiyin Sect had been suppressed in the past two years, so their cultivation resources and means of survival were very limited. Even with her extraordinary talent, Xia Nishang could only reach the Six-apertured Great Grandmaster Realm. She wasn’t even as good as Dao Qingcheng, so how could she be a match for this lanky, long-faced Demon expert?

  “Urggh……!”


  Xia Nishang was badly hit. She lifted her delicate, swan-like neck, and spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body flew backward, crashing heavily into the crowd.

  “Whoever dares to challenge me shall die! Humph, you Humans are just a bunch of useless vermin, born to be the blood nourishment of our Demon Clan, haha……”


  The tall, lanky and long-faced Demon expert looked up at the sky with a hideous smile, striding toward Dao Qingcheng.

  His mouth suddenly turned into a long black proboscis, gleaming with a dark grotesque light.

  The Demon Clan on the Blood-Sampling Peak was actually a sect of giant cultivating mosquitoes.

  They liked to suck the blood of their prey dry with their long proboscises.

  “Killing these two reckless minions is just a small lesson. Haha, pathetic human vermin, you will soon know that this world belongs to the Demon Clan!”


  With a hideous smile, he suddenly bowed his head, extending his needle-like proboscis toward Dao Qingcheng’s heart. The man could not move at all.
