  At a distant location not far from the city, a group of cultivators soared through the sky on their flying swords, leaving ling Qi ripples behind them.

  Among them was a young man stepping on a three, four zhang long flying sword. The flying sword was silver in color, and an impressive aura radiated from it.

  "Senior Brother, you must really complete the mission given by the elders properly this time. Otherwise, you'll be stuck in the sect for the next hundred years, unable to leave!" a young girl with bearing akin to a fairy's said with some worry in her voice.

  "Alright, alright, I understand. But seriously, isn't the whole point of cultivation just so that we could live a longer life? What's the use of fighting and killing all day long, risking our lives?"

  The youth yawned lazily as though he hadn't gotten enough sleep.

  Not all the sects had come to snatch the Human-Faced Peach Tree to hand it over to the celestials. A large portion of the sects that came had received the order to destroy the evil tree!

  The disciples from the Heavenly Kills Sect were so stunned that they almost fell off their flying swords. A senior disciple of the famed Heavenly Kills Sect had actually just said that fighting and killing was a senseless matter!

  Fortunately these disciples were already accustomed to the behavior of this senior brother of theirs. But to hear these words from him directly still caused them to show strange expressions.

  The Heavenly Kills Sect was located on a huge continent called the Sky Continent. The Heaven and Earth ling Qi there exceeded those in other areas by tens to a hundred times!

  The Heavenly Kills Sect could also be ranked within the top 100 sects in the Sky Continent! The sect was famous for being extremely temperamental and would always fight with or wipe out other sects over the smallest matters.

  In this generation, they had Han Zong who had a inborn Asura Sword Physique. Back then, when the Heavenly Kills Sect's patriarch brought Han Zong back, the entire sect was shaken by his talent!

  The Asura Sword Physique was an extremely special and magical physique. The more one battled and bathed in fresh blood, the stronger they would become! Because of his physique, Han Zong was extremely treasured by the sect, and became their hope to lead the sect onto a grander stage!

  But as Han Zong grew up, the various elders of the sect became more and more dismayed, feeling as though they had swallowed a fly.

  Although he lived in a bloodthirsty sect that was embroiled in battle constantly, Han Zong actually grew up to dislike battling. But by relying on his special physique alone, Han Zong was still able to cultivate very quickly.

  And this was with him not utilizing his physique's unique advantages to its maximum potential. According to the elder's estimations, if Han Zong had killed and fought regularly as he cultivated, he would at the very least be a peak Yuanying stage expert that was strong enough to fight a Incarnation stage expert by now!

  Because of this matter, the teacher in charge of Han Zong's training had received plenty of scoldings from the Grand Elder.

  "The Heaven and Earth Ling Qi here is so much weaker than in our Heavenly Kills Sect's. At best, they might have a primary stage Yuanying expert. With your senior brother, I, acting personally, wouldn't this mission be a mere walk in the park?"

  Although Han Zong was unwilling, he still accepted the mission due to his gratitude for the sect's upbringing.

  As the two talked, the view of the huge city appeared with smoke rising from within the city.

  A sense of doom lingered above the city. From the cultivators' viewpoint, they could see that the sky above was black as though it was covered by dark clouds.

  If an ordinary civilian entered here, within a second, madness would take them over—or if worse, both their body and soul would be destroyed!

  "The entire city has been destroyed?!"

  Han Zong's face darkened. An entire city together with its hundred millions of people had perished just like this!

  Looking at the Human-Faced Peach Tree standing tall from afar, Han Zong was furious.

  A powerful blast of blood-red Qi exploded out of Han Zong's body, gushing up into the sky.

  "How powerful!"

  "Is this the true power of Senior Brother Han Zong?!"

  "So scary! Don't ever offend honest people! If it happens, remember to finish them off completely! Just look at our Senior Brother Han Zong who is usually so gentle. Who knew he could be this strong!"

  Within the group, belittling looks could not be found on anyone's face.

  "I shall see if this demonic tree really has the power to stop me!"

  With an angry roar, a layer of powerful blood-red Qi covered Han Zong's huge sword!

  At this moment, Han Zong appeared in the city looking like a demonic villain with his whole body emitting blood-red flames.

  "Your daddy here is already a half-step Yuanying stage expert. The best thing this place could have are only early stage Yuanting experts. But ordinary Yuanying primary stage experts are completely not a match for me. I really want to see who is so daring to actually use the entire city's population to nurture this demonic tree!"

  Han Zong's face turned grim as he charged forward. The other Heavenly Kills Sect disciples behind him similarly burst forth with shocking killing intent.

  "Who is the one that's so bold as to use the entire city's population to nurture this demonic tree?!"

  Han Zong's speed exploded in an instant. The space before him was cleaved cleanly apart, revealing a black space. Han Zong stepped into the space and, in the next moment, the space in front of the Human-Faced Peach Tree began to ripple. Before Han Zong's body appeared, his voice had already arrived.

  A group of Yuanying primary stage experts all turned and looked over together at the rippling space. Han Zong stepped out from the space. A savage aura surged explosively from him, like a bomb exploding. But when Han Zong looked around him, he was completely dumbfounded.

  "One, two, five…… 50 Yuanying primary stage experts?!"

  Seeing the large group of cultivators before him, all radiating a fearsome aura, Han Zong's face paled and turned numb. As he guessed, the highest cultivation in this was Yuanying primary stage. But who could guess that there were so many of them!

  "Eh…… ah, I was just passing by, don't mind me, you guys continue……" Han Zong whimpered lightly as he looked at the group of Yuanying primary stage experts all looking at him with bloodshot eyes. His voice dimmed down to a squeak, finally disappearing completely.

  A red gleam flashed past the eyes of all the Yuanying experts as a person said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Hehe, blood and flesh! After capturing you all, we can produce more Human-Faced Peaches."

  "Capture them!"

  All the Yuanying experts moved together. Over half of them tore apart the space, stepping through and appearing before Han Zong in an instant. The other half dashed over towards him with overwhelming speed!

  The pressure created by tens of Yuanying experts all dashing forward together was insanely shocking. It altered the entire area and countless dark clouds congealed above in the sky while lightning bolts as thick as a person's arm shot through the clouds.

  Han Zong looked at his junior brothers and sisters still rushing over and hurriedly shouted, "Quick, run!"

  "You should think about yourself first. I wonder what kind of fruit will be produced from a high grade fertilizer like yourself? Hehe, I'm really looking forward to it!"

  20 over Yuanying experts instantly appeared around Han Zong, sealing all his escape paths.

  A fierce battle immediately ensued. As a core disciple of the Heavenly Kills Sect, Han Zong's battle prowess was immensely fierce. All kinds of secret manuals and techniques were available to him as long as he opened his mouth. At this time, a five-colored light shone from Han Zong's body.

  Numerous attacks arrived from all directions, landing heavily against the five-colored light barrier. But the light barrier only shook lightly—Han Zong was not harmed in the least!

  A three cun short sword the color of a black jade was retrieved from Han Zong's spatial ring and held in his hand!

  "Stop! What matter is this that we can't sit down and talk about it properly? Is there a need to fight and kill so impulsively? We're all civilized people here!"

  Han Zong's face was completely pale with fear. Although he was strong, he wasn't able to do anything in this situation. He completely did not have even a chance to counterattack!

  It was as if something was restricting him, like a lock and chains that had been placed around his neck!
