"Bring it here and let me take a look,"
Ying Tianchou said in a deep voice. He was the only Condensed Spirit Demon King of Yaojian Mountain, and had just submitted to Yaojian Mountain. But his previous prestige was still there. Now, with a great enemy at hand, naturally, all the Demon Kings looked to him as their leader.
The Monkey Demon hurriedly passed the bark to him.
Ying Tianchou opened it and his expression changed drastically. He pounded his fist on the stone table, startling all the monsters into shivering.
"What's wrong?"
The Purple Back Bear King asked anxiously, knowing from Ying Tianchou's expression that it was certainly not good news.
Ying Tianchou gritted his teeth and said, "The Evil Bat Demon is threatening us. If we don't surrender within a month, when his army comes killing their way here, they'll level Yaojian Mountain without giving us a chance to surrender."
At these words, the Demon Kings suddenly became panic-stricken.
If the news spread, the entire Yaojian Mountain would be in turmoil.
"Do not panic. Let's wait until the Demon Lord comes back, and then decide!" Luo Zhenhai spoke up. His voice was very calm, his demeanor composed and indifferent, which lessened the unease of the Demon Kings significantly.
Ying Tianchou gave him a glance and nodded slightly.
He truly recognized the merit of this one-armed Blade Wanderer.
In the face of danger, he could be a great general!
...
On the wasteland.
Su Yie had practiced basic sword techniques with Xia Tianyi for five days, gaining a higher understanding of the sword.
A sword is a weapon, and yet not just a weapon.
It possesses spirit!
When one achieves mastery in swordsmanship, they use their heart to control the sword as easily as moving their arm, their Sword Intent reaching to the sky!
"Today, I will teach you 'All Under Heaven Facing East'!"
Xia Tianyi stood on top of the mountain peak and declared proudly, waking up the Crimson Flame Lion King who was in deep sleep, prompting it to quickly get up.
Su Yie stood at the base of the mountain, looking up at Xia Tianyi, waiting for him to demonstrate 'All Under Heaven Facing East'.
In five days, his strength had reached four hundred and twenty Dragon's Strength. His demonic power had also reached the abundant level of the late stage of the Mystic Demon King Realm.
It had to be said, the Purple Flower was indeed miraculous!
No wonder it was guarded by a Stone Jiao!
Su Yie stopped pondering and focused his full attention on Xia Tianyi.
He saw Xia Tianyi cross his hands to draw his sword, the sword light dazzling under the sunlight.
"With the sword as the force, with intent as the kill, gathering the vigor from the surroundings, it turns into the ultimate strike!"
"This is 'All Under Heaven Facing East'!"
Xia Tianyi's voice was still cold, but it filled Su Yie with an exhilarating feeling.
Before his words entirely faded away, a fierce wind began to blow, stones on the ground shaking violently, as if heralding an imminent earthquake.
Boom boom boom—
Thunderclouds gathered from all around, the rumble of thunder making the world seem oppressive. The bright sun was obscured by Tian Yun as if night had descended.
The Crimson Flame Lion King swallowed hard. Was this the prelude to a powerful spell?
With a bang!
The hill crumbled, stones flying in disarray. Xia Tianyi leapt into the air, waving his swords so swiftly it seemed as if afterimages were crossing each other. His swords tore the air, his Sword Qi spilling out, stirring up the airflow around him.
The fierce wind howled, swirling sand and vegetation into a terrifying tornado that grew wider in diameter, forcing both Su Yie and the Crimson Flame Lion King to retreat.
Tens of thousands of bolts of thunder resounded through the wasteland, disturbing the monsters from afar.
A few kilometers away.
At the edge of the wasteland, on top of a mountain peak, a troop of the Demon Army was approaching, led by a Condensed Spirit Demon King named White Mountain Bull King, a yellow ox that had attained enlightenment.
At the same time, he was a subordinate of the Evil Bat Demon, dispatched as a major general to Yaojian Mountain, leading a hundred thousand Demon Soldiers.
The reason why the Evil Bat Demon entrusted him with just these troops was that the White Mountain Bull King was very strong, at the peak of perfection in the Condensed Spirit Demon King Realm, ranking among the top five underlings of the Evil Bat Demon.
"Halt! There's something ahead!"
```
The White Mountain Bull King hastened to shout, towering at five zhang in front of the Demon Army, resembling a small mountain.
A hundred thousand monsters followed his gaze forward, just in time to see the tornado stirred up by Xia Tianyi.
From thousands of kilometers away, they couldn't see Su Yie and the Crimson Flame Lion King, only feeling the tornado connecting heaven and earth, as if it possessed the power to annihilate everything.
"Such powerful Sword Intent... to have such Sword Intent..."
The White Mountain Bull King's face turned a bit grim, squinting as he looked on, quickly spotting Xia Tianyi's figure.
It was a swordsman of the Human Clan!
Could it be...
The White Mountain Bull King's complexion drastically changed as if struck by lightning, his immense body even beginning to tremble.
Sword Saint Xia Tianyi!
Within the Seven Dynasties, only Xia Tianyi possessed such Sword Intent!
Didn't he just challenge Overlord Luo Fu?
How has he returned to the Bailing Territory so soon?
For a moment, the White Mountain Bull King was extremely nervous, but not panicked, after all, his target was Yaojian Mountain, and he had no conflict with Xia Tianyi.
Xia Tianyi, within the tornado, quickened his sword dance even further.
Su Yie watched with glowing eyes because Xia Tianyi was demonstrating the sword moves of "All Under Heaven Facing East", otherwise, he would have already executed it.
At this moment, Xia Tianyi was still gathering momentum!
After practicing nearly a hundred times, Su Yie fully understood the sword forms of "All Under Heaven Facing East".
Had it been any other swordsman present, they wouldn't have understood it unless they had practiced the Immortal-Slaying Heart Sword.
The Immortal-Slaying Heart Sword was akin to the basic training for "All Under Heaven Facing East"; one must learn the Immortal-Slaying Heart Sword to comprehend "All Under Heaven Facing East".
"Watch closely! This is 'All Under Heaven Facing East'!"
Xia Tianyi laughed aloud, his figure suddenly stopping as he consecutively slashed his swords toward the east.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...
Countless Sword Qi shot out like swarms of locusts from the tornado, turning into a torrent, crushing the surface of the ground, sweeping towards the east at lightning speed, with the commanding might to obliterate everything.
East!
It was precisely the direction where the White Mountain Bull King and the hundred thousand Demon Soldiers were situated.
Seeing "All Under Heaven Facing East" approach, the White Mountain Bull King was nearly scared to death, immediately leaping into the air to flee.
The other monsters were too late to escape; they did not even have time to shout in alarm before the Sword Qi of "All Under Heaven Facing East" came thundering in, devastating heaven and earth.
Boom—
The ground was scraped away, the earth trembled, and instantly, a hundred thousand monsters and the mountains beneath their feet were swept away.
Su Yie and the Crimson Flame Lion King stared, dumbstruck.
All they saw before them was a terrifyingly deep trench, a hundred zhang wide that could even be described as a canyon, stretching to the end of heaven and earth, with even the clouds above torn asunder, making the sky dome look as if it had been split in two.
The earth was still trembling.
The tornado around Xia Tianyi also dissipated, parting the winds, hovering in midair, turning the invisible into the visible.
In this moment, Xia Tianyi appeared like an Immortal God suspended in midair.
He crossed his arms to sheathe his swords, his expression as serene as a gentle breeze and pleasant clouds.
"Such power..."
Su Yie swallowed hard, struggling to remain calm.
He was Emperor Su, after all, and couldn't appear too shocked!
But was this terrane-altering terrifying power really wielded by a man?
Xia Tianyi landed, walking over to his side, and said in an even tone, "Train hard, and you can do it too."
Su Yie gazed toward the immense canyon in front and asked, "Why must it go east?"
"The sun rises from the east, the rule of heaven and earth; the might is greatest when facing east," Xia Tianyi explained casually.
Su Yie fell silent.
The Crimson Flame Lion King was still petrified, unable to recover his senses for a long time.
