Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

"Surrender before the siege and leave in peace, but after the siege commences, your entire clan will be annihilated!"

...

On the Ascension List.

Outside the town.

Meng Yu sat on a large chair, watching the sands of time slip away one grain at a time in the hourglass.

Not far from him, countless people, hundreds upon hundreds, looked at Meng Yu with ill intentions.

Meng Yu worried that no one would come to be slain by him, so he offered up the enticing White Crane Swordsmanship and even proposed rewards for being killed three times, with double rewards for six times, which revealed the enthusiasm of many.

That's right, there was one more thing he hadn't mentioned: Meng Yu declared, "If you kill me, I definitely won't get mad."

As the last grain of sand fell, Meng Yu stood up.

"There are a lot of people here, everyone is so enthusiastic, very good."

Then everyone saw a flash of Saber Light!

Like a chain of lightning, the Saber Light soared, striking down dozens of cultivators instantly, draining all the blood from their bodies. The cultivators nearest to Meng Yu felt their blood boiling with energy!

Cultivator after cultivator rushed forward, and one by one, they fell to the ground. Meng Yu's figure darted around like a ghost among them, and not a single person could withstand even one of his moves!

Kill!

This was the first time Meng Yu had demonstrated the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber's cultivation technique. The air was filled with a mist of blood, and the long saber in his hand grew redder and redder!

This was a veritable mountain of corpses and sea of blood!

...

"Ah!"

Breaking Wind Saber jolted awake from the virtual world, then took deep, heaving breaths.

He had participated in the initial siege against Meng Yu and, unsurprisingly, had been killed.

He still remembered that saber aura, like a ribbon of light that had caught his eye.

Such a formidable strike, so mysterious, yet so straightforward!

Although he was in the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, he felt he wasn't inferior to anyone in Sword Technique, but today had been an eye-opener for him, the memory of that terrifying saber strike still fresh in his mind.

Standing up, his palm pressed down on the table, which emitted an odd creak.

"Huh?"

For a moment, he was stunned. At the sixth level of martial arts Qi cultivation, he had complete control over his body, but at that moment, a sliver of saber intent fractured outward.

"Which strike, which strike?"

He suddenly thought of the blow he had received from Meng Yu.

His master had once been struck in the chest in battle and nearly died, but that very strike had made him who he was.

From then on, his master's Sword Technique carried the flavor of his enemy and had deeply grasped some essence.

Great terror lies in life and death, especially when facing a fearsome enemy!

He carefully contemplated that strike, then recalled what Meng Yu had previously outlined about this very stroke.

"The difference between a person and a stone lies in the breath within the chest.

This breath, when shown as True Qi, is as mighty as it pierces through the sun and the moon, and when represented in Sword Technique, it is 'I offer my blood to the Emperor.'

Invoking emotion in martial arts, controlling the saber with intent..."

Although his Divine Soul was injured and unable to ascend the Ascension List for now, Breaking Wind Saber began practicing a new Sword Technique right there.

Everyone who battled Meng Yu benefited immensely.

Thousands of cultivators couldn't all rush in at once, and they didn't need to—all watched as Meng Yu fought those before them!

Watching as people were cut down like straw under Meng Yu's saber, observing the whirling Saber Light, the wounds and saber intent on the dead, and then immersing themselves in it before finally rushing to battle Meng Yu and experiencing that remarkably brilliant strike!

Meng Yu stepped over their bodies, climbing towards the peak, but they too stepped over their companions' corpses, descending step by step into hell.

It was just a death! Just a delay of two days before logging back in.

That strike, it was worth taking the hit!
