Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 111, Killing Intent

"Run! Quickly run!"

"Li Yun from Burning Fire Valley is here!"

"Faster! Even faster!"

Five or six people were desperately running ahead, looking extremely haggard like stray dogs. Among them was a disciple of Cyan Yang Sect, two disciples from Martial Extreme Sect, and the other two were disciples from Celestial Star Sect. Their bodies bore numerous bloody wounds.

In the Celestial Flame Secret Realm, dangers lurked everywhere; avoiding injury was nearly impossible unless one possessed immense strength or extraordinary luck.

Boom!

Behind these five, a fiery red figure rapidly closed in on them. The surrounding air was scorched by the intense heat emanating from him, causing it to rapidly evaporate. The wind tousled his long hair, revealing a pale and indifferent face. His eyes were incredibly sharp, as if wanting to pierce through the air.

It was none other than the core disciple of Burning Fire Valley, Li Yun!

Swish!

A fiery red palm seal burst from his hand, shattering the air as it advanced. Before Su Rong from Cyan Yang Sect could react, he was reduced to ashes, not even having the chance to scream, and his ashes scattered in the wind.

The other four, witnessing this, were scared out of their wits. Not daring to linger, they maximized their lightweight skills, creating overlapping illusions of their figures.

However, Li Yun’s prowess far exceeded theirs by several folds. In just three flickers of his figure, he incinerated three core disciples from other sects, showcasing his formidable strength beyond a doubt.

"Don’t kill me! I know a secret about your brother, Li Huo!!"

The last remaining core disciple, Zhang Xiaofei from Celestial Star Sect, felt his heart tighten as Li Yun’s attack was about to land. He quickly yelled out.

"Speak!"

A bad premonition arose in Li Yun’s heart. The palm seal in his hand, losing its spiritual power, slowly dissipated, and the intense heat quietly faded away.

"I can tell you, but you need to promise to spare me!"

Zhang Xiaofei bargained. Seeing Li Yun’s attack dissipate and feeling momentarily safe, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Agreed!"

Li Yun’s voice was as cold as ice, completely mismatched with the cultivation techniques and martial skills he practiced.

"I saw Chu Ming kill Li Huo half a day ago!"

Like grabbing a lifeline, Zhang Xiaofei immediately disclosed what he had seen, though still with some trepidation. Only a fool could become a core disciple, and Li Yun’s reputation for being unreliable and treacherous was well-known in the martial world.

"Which direction did Chu Ming go?"

Li Yun’s eyes grew colder, with a hint of murderous intent spreading within them. The heat around him became more frenzied, like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

"That direction!"

Zhang Xiaofei pointed in the direction where Chu Ming had left and immediately used his lightweight skill to flee. His body transformed into a wild goose, swaying in the air, and in the blink of an eye, he was a hundred meters away, quickly speeding towards the boundary.

"Hmph!"

Li Yun’s eyes turned icy cold. His palm suddenly flared red, igniting the surrounding area. Waves of white heat surged outwards, spreading all around.

Poof!

With a single palm strike, Zhang Xiaofei was ignited a hundred meters away, turning to ashes that scattered in the air, his dying eyes glaring venomously at Li Yun.

"Chu Ming?" Li Yun’s eyes flashed with cold light, like turbulent water in a deep pond, surging fiercely.

Swish!

Li Yun’s figure flickered, immediately dashing in the direction Zhang Xiaofei had pointed. The scenery on both sides blurred as he sped past.

...

Chu Ming refined the Black and White Fruit, and an immense surge of spiritual power entered his body instantly. The spiritual power in his dantian gradually increased, and his strength rapidly advanced.

Transcendence Realm, Seventh Layer Middle Stage!

Transcendence Realm, Seventh Layer Late Stage!

Transcendence Realm, Seventh Layer Peak!

In the span of an incense stick burning, the Black and White Fruit was refined. Chu Ming’s strength had leaped from Transcendence Realm, Seventh Layer Early Stage to the peak. His body was now brimming with spiritual power like an ocean.

Outside.

Lin Yumei cautiously observed the surroundings. Although Chu Ming had killed the Black Feathered Scale Beast, the Celestial Flame Secret Realm was full of ferocious demon beasts at any moment.

Boom!

Lin Yumei’s ears twitched, and she nervously glanced at the chaotic rocks beside her. A giant python, thick enough for an adult to wrap their arms around, was lurking there, its red tongue flicking out. The serpent, measuring over ten meters, bore yellow spots and had eerie green eyes that could terrify anyone.

"Fifth-Level Low Tier Demon Beast, Yellow Python!"

Lin Yumei gasped softly. A Fifth-Level Low Tier Yellow Python could rival a True Dao First Layer peak martial artist. It was beyond her capability to handle or even face.

Considering Chu Ming was still cultivating in seclusion and couldn’t afford to be disturbed, let alone by a demon beast which could cause him to deviate and explode, she gritted her teeth and stepped forward with her glistening blue treasure sword.

Right now, all she could do was pray for Chu Ming to finish his seclusion quickly.

Boom!

A purple violent gust erupted from the Yellow Python’s mouth, moving rapidly and covering a wide area, sweeping dozens of meters and immediately appearing before Lin Yumei.

Swish!

Swipe! Swipe! Swipe!

Lin Yumei swung her sword, creating a flash of Sword Light that tore through the purple storm, shattering her Sword Light and creating a spectacular display of fragmented Sword Aura. Simultaneously, her body danced in the air like a butterfly in the wind, her sword tearing through the ground below, leaving grooves.

Swish!

After slashing several dozen times, Lin Yumei finally dispelled the purple storm. But the Yellow Python was already lunging at her with its mouth wide open.

"Thousand Rain Swordsmanship!"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Rays of Sword Light shot out as Lin Yumei retreated. She stepped lightly on the ground like a butterfly among flowers. As she moved, sharp Sword Lights burst forth like fine drizzles, enveloping the Yellow Python.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The Sword Rain that could vanquish many Fourth-Level Top Tier demon beasts struck the Yellow Python, creating countless sparks, like a rain of fire, only leaving white marks on its skin.

"So strong!"

Lin Yumei called out in her heart. The Yellow Python, braving the Sword Rain, almost instantly reached Lin Yumei, and she could smell the stench from its mouth.

Swish!

Just then, a sudden silent flash of light appeared from behind the Yellow Python, illuminating the dim space instantly.

The Sword Light came and went swiftly, and when Lin Yumei saw the Yellow Python’s condition, she was even more astonished. The once living Yellow Python had been split in two by the sharp Sword Light, with blood flowing like a stream.

Behind the Yellow Python, a figure in white robes appeared. The long robe fluttering—it was Chu Ming, who had just finished his seclusion!
