When the whirlpool first came into contact with the blood-colored Sword Aura, the tearing force within it continued to stalemate. However, the eighty-one Palm Force bursts forth instantly, shredding the blood-colored Sword Aura into pieces in a flash.
The face of the dark-cloaked martial artist turned pale, and a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out from his mouth. The scarlet Blood Pearl appeared exceptionally dazzling in the air.
Chu Ming’s body spun, and simultaneously, as the dark-cloaked martial artist retreated, his right hand unleashed a fierce Sword Light, like the melting snow of winter. The air before him was pierced and exploded in an instant.
The dark-cloaked elder’s gaze turned stern. With a swift motion, his black Long Saber slashed out, releasing a blood-colored light. Instantly, the surrounding area was filled with endless blood-red. The blade’s light resembled a rising blood moon, shining brilliantly, intermittently visible, exuding a chilling killing intent.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Chu Ming, in his white robe, flashed across, leaving countless white shadows in the air. In an instant, the space was filled with Chu Ming’s silhouettes, transforming into thousands of figures.
Chu Ming lifted his sword, and all the countless illusions in the air simultaneously lifted their swords. As Chu Ming slashed, the countless illusions simultaneously slashed, causing the Sword Light to blossom in the air. At that moment, the entire space was completely filled with the Sword Light.
A bead of sweat dropped from the face of the dark-cloaked martial artist. Although they had only exchanged a few blows, the pressure he felt was overwhelming. He was entirely suppressed.
Splatter, splatter, splatter...
The Sword Light in the space was all released at once, and the sound of the space being sliced exploded continuously. The Sword Light completely enveloped the entire space, including the dark-cloaked martial artist.
Threads of blood gradually leaked into the air, and around the dark-cloaked martial artist, blood mist surrounded him. In a short moment, half of his body had been shredded into a blood mist by Chu Ming’s Sword Light.
At this moment, a scream echoed. Another Demon Dao Martial Artist of Guiyuan Realm Third Layer had been slain under the combined attack of everyone.
Now, only two shining battlefields remained in the air. Qing Yu Daoist wielded excellent Swordsmanship, with fine rain droplets falling from the sky. These were not simply raindrops; they contained his Sword Realm. Wherever the raindrops landed, they penetrated the ground, ripping it apart, and tore the dark-cloaked martial artist’s clothes into pieces.
The other dark-cloaked martial artist, who was jointly attacked by Black Feather Daoist and Sky Flying Eagle, was now in a miserable state, barely able to fend off the attacks without any opportunity to counter.
"You all, go and uproot this stronghold."
Chu Ming ordered the four men.
During this battle, the four had entirely recognized Chu Ming’s strength. In front of Chu Ming, they dared not show any sign of being Guiyuan Realm ancestors.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The four figures shot into the air, instantly landing into the Evil Wolf Mountain Range. Shortly after, a series of miserable screams echoed continuously.
In the Blood Hand Association stronghold, there were no Guiyuan Realm experts left. To these four, the True Dao Martial Artists were like wolves among sheep, resulting in a massacre upon their attack.
Meanwhile, the dark-cloaked martial artist being attacked by Black Feather Daoist and Sky Flying Eagle made a mistake. Sky Flying Eagle seized the opportunity and crushed his skull, causing brain matter to splatter without even a scream.
"Chu Ming, the Blood Hand Association will never spare you!!"
The Demon Dao Martial Artist fighting against Qing Yu Daoist roared lowly, but was soon slain by Qing Yu Daoist’s sword, sending blood raining down.
In less than an hour, the Blood Hand Association stronghold in Celestial River Kingdom had been uprooted. The news quickly spread to other Demonic Organization strongholds, stirring fear among them.
The martial artists’ time always flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
During this month, Chu Ming led many Guiyuan Realm experts in battles across various regions, purging seven countries of Demonic Organizations. Under his command, there were now over forty Guiyuan Realm experts.
This success also brought difficulties. As Chu Ming frequently acted, the remaining Demonic experts in the remaining three countries had completely gathered together, along with the remaining Demonic experts. Bianyuan Kingdom had gathered over thirty Demonic Organizations, and in Bianyuan Kingdom, there was also Taihang Mountain Stronghold.
Thus, Chu Ming had to halt his purging actions.
In a secret chamber on Snow Peak, a terrifying white vortex appeared out of thin air. The surrounding Spiritual Power was swallowed up like a whale feeding, being absorbed into one place.
The space trembled, and the seated Chu Ming’s momentum surged. The surrounding Spiritual Power was instantly absorbed into his body. The rumbling sound echoed, and Chu Ming’s ear twitched slightly, as he could faintly hear the sound of blood flowing within his body.
True Dao Seventh Heaven, achieved!
Countless tiny Light Sabers shot out around him, instantly leaving sword marks on the walls of the secret chamber.
Chu Ming slowly opened his eyes. The secret chamber glimmered slightly, with Sword Light darting through the Void. As Chu Ming’s momentum dissipated, the Sword Light in the space gradually disappeared.
"Finally, Seventh Heaven of True Dao!"
Chu Ming muttered to himself. It took him a whole month to break through from the peak of Sixth Heaven of True Dao to Seventh Heaven of True Dao, which was aided by sufficient Middle Grade Spirit Stones.
Breaking through to Seventh Heaven of True Dao, he now truly possessed the strength to challenge experts of Guiyuan Realm Fourth Heaven.
Moreover, he wished to quickly purge all the Demonic Organizations from the ten countries, allowing him to venture into the Blood Bee Mountain Range. He had always remembered the two Fragments in his Storage Ring, but his strength wasn’t sufficient before.
Now, even in the Blood Bee Mountain Range, he has the ability to protect himself.
However, Bianyuan Kingdom poses a tougher challenge. Taihang Mountain Stronghold has close ties with the Demonic Organizations, and his Guiyuan Realm experts aren’t united; in the past, they had many grudges among them, making joint actions hesitant.
Starting with Taihang Mountain Stronghold?
Chu Ming felt it would be difficult. Taihang Mountain Stronghold was essentially a nest of bandits, both righteous and evil. Orders from Celestial Travel Sect would likely be ignored.
Eradicating Taihang Mountain Stronghold? It seemed unlikely; Taihang Mountain Stronghold controlled all of Bianyuan Kingdom, eliminating it would equate to destroying Bianyuan Kingdom.
Eradicating Demonic Organization strongholds directly while Taihang Mountain Stronghold rescues them would lead to a war potentially devastating the martial foundation of the ten countries.
"It seems there is only a way from within Taihang Mountain Stronghold!"
Chu Ming rubbed his forehead. He didn’t believe Taihang Mountain Stronghold was monolithic. Where there is benefit, there would be conflict, especially in such a substantial group.
"Taihang Mountain Stronghold has five Village Chiefs. The Great Village Chief is of Guiyuan Realm Fifth Layer cultivation, while the remaining four Village Chiefs are of Guiyuan Realm Fourth Layer cultivation. Beneath the five Village Chiefs are ten Vice Village Chiefs, all of Guiyuan Realm Third Layer cultivation!"
Wang Qi stood respectfully aside, handing over the collected intelligence to Chu Ming.
