Zhao Youting, having just fought with Lu Shanxing, was not at his peak condition, and before he could catch his breath, he was cornered by two foes even more troublesome than Lu Shanxing.

Right now, Zhao Youting was feeling incredibly stifled, utterly suffocated.

The two people before him clearly were individuals but moved as if they were one, communicating neither with words nor with eye contact throughout the engagement.

Zhao Youting had initially planned to break through by targeting the weakest, Liang Yi, since there was a whole realm's difference between them, and theoretically, escaping should have been easy if he couldn't win.

But reality slapped him repeatedly in the face. Forget escaping; he would be immensely grateful if he could just save his own life from underneath Liang Yi's sword.

Both Liang Yi and Su Youyi were wielding the most ordinary Spirit Swords, not immediately resorting to their Immortal Swords partly because they wanted to test the results of their intense training.

Now, the results were far beyond their expectations.

A late Sixth Realm cultivator, who could have almost killed the Devouring Spirit Sect's remnant, a True Disciple of the Senluo Wanxiang Sect, now seemed like he could be killed off by Liang Yi at any moment.

The simplicity of the act was not much more challenging than wringing a chicken's neck.

Su Youyi too sensed the change; now, with her senior brother, they should be strong enough to combat Seventh Realm experts. If both were to use their Immortal Swords, perhaps they could directly slay a Seventh Realm cultivator.

Lu Shanxing, who was off to the side, was astounded. It was believable that Su Youyi could kill Zhao Youting with a single sword if it were just her. But to use him as a test subject for their swordsmanship, killing as easily as slaughtering chickens, utterly overturned his understanding.

Sometimes, killing is indeed the simplest thing.

"Enough, let's end this," Liang Yi declared, satisfied with the results, and as he made a light shout, the sword light in his hand became more formidable.

Su Youyi's swordplay also transformed, her Sword Intent, already pressing Zhang Youting into dangerous situations, grew even fiercer.

"Liang Yi! The Abyss will descend soon, and when that time comes, you and the others, together with those Abnormal People, will pay for your attack on the Devouring Spirit Sect!" Zhang Youting realized that today might be his end and started speaking incoherently.

Yet Liang Yi and Su Youyi remained calm and unruffled, not altering their approach due to Zhang Youting's mental breakdown, still like two top hunters quietly watching their prey walk towards death.

Zhang Youting was terrified. No one wants to be treated as a dead man; it's a different kind of panic.

But no matter how fiercely he struggled, no matter how the flames raged across the sky, he couldn't escape from their Sword Domain. The

Once mighty flaming dragon was now silently wailing, watching as its master's head was coldly severed by the young man's sword, and without Spiritual Energy to sustain it, it unwillingly dissipated into specks of light across the heavens and earth.

After glancing at the Experience and loot, Liang Yi pursed his lips; these minor rewards no longer held his interest.

However, among the loot was the Zhao family's cultivation technique, which Zhao Youting used as cover, along with other Daoist Skills and Magical Treasures, all of which could be returned to the Purple Cloud Sect and sold as shop merchandise.

Rounded up, that's another billion Experience!

Watching Zhao Youting's headless corpse dissolve into Spirit Light and fade between heaven and earth, Lu Shanxing covered her face. Although she made no sound, Liang Yi and Su Youyi could still tell she was laughing hysterically.

"Senior Brother, that feeling just now was so magical." Su Youyi stood with her sword next to Liang Yi, closing her eyes to savor that special state they had just experienced.

This state was the result of their training, an extremely close state of heart-to-heart connection. With more practice and use, deploying that Daoist Immortal Technique would be no problem at all.

"Just now, you really had the aura of a ruthless assassin." Liang Yi chuckled as he pinched Su Youyi's round face. It was hard to associate the adorable, charming junior sister with the cold-blooded killer she was moments ago.

"Are you one to talk, Senior Brother? When you killed that man just now, your mental state didn't even ripple..." Su Youyi pouted in defense. What's so good about being an assassin? Isn't it better to be the adored junior sister of the Senior Brother?

Liang Yi was momentarily stunned, then began to feel somewhat troubled as he patted his head. It was a side effect of playing too many games. Which gamer feels guilt over slaying monsters? If they did, they'd have died of guilt long ago.

At any other time, Liang Yi could subconsciously treat this world as the real one, but when it came to killing, his subconscious, accustomed to slaying countless monsters, treated this world as a game.

"Your sword technique was a bit rusty just now? Have you been slacking off lately?" Liang Yi deftly changed the subject, no longer dwelling on the murky issue of what's real and what's not.

"Really? I feel like I've been as diligent as always, even quietly cutting back on my eating time..." Su Youyi twirled her sword, her movements brimming with grace.

"I am Lu Shanxing from the Senluo Wanxiang Sect. Thank you to both of you from the Taoist Sect and to the seniors on the boat for saving me!" After seeing Zhao Youting truly dead, Lu Shanxing approached Liang Yi and Su Youyi with brisk steps to offer his sincere thanks.

His survival hinged on these two before him. If they could kill Zhao Youting as easily as slaughtering a chicken, wouldn't killing him, Lu Shanxing, be even easier?

Cowering in fear!

"There's no need for such words, Brother Lu. As mighty powers, we are all branches of the same tree. I believe if the situation were reversed, Brother Lu would surely make the same choice as us." Liang Yi waved his hand modestly and helped the bowing Lu Shanxing to his feet.

"No need to thank me. It was all Senior Brother's idea." Su Youyi stood emotionlessly to the side, uninterested in Lu Shanxing's gratitude.

"Hmm? Those three over there are from your sect, right?"

Before Lu Shanxing could respond, Liang Yi suddenly laughed and pointed behind Lu Shanxing.

"From the same sect?" Confused, Lu Shanxing turned to see three streaks of starlight racing towards them. Upon recognizing the newcomers, an elated Lu Shanxing exclaimed, "It's Senior Sister Pang Qingshi and the others!"

The elegant and mysterious pale blue starlight, along with the sound of waves lapping, made even the surrounding air feel slightly moist.

Like a talented Jiangnan lady, Pang Qingshi led the two other streaks of starlight to land directly before Liang Yi.

"Taoist Sect's Liang Yi? And Su Youyi?" Dressed in simple and elegant Taoist robes, Pang Qingshi spotted the handsome young man from afar, surprised by his presence.

"Junior Brother Lu! Are you alright?" The other two streaks of starlight materialized into their true forms, unsurprisingly also true disciples of the Senluo Wanxiang Sect.

"I'm fine, Senior Brother Wang!" Lu Shanxing had a particularly good relationship with this senior brother among the true disciples, and seeing him again after a narrow escape from death, he couldn't help but be emotionally stirred.

"How did you get so seriously injured!? Was it that Liang Yi from the Taoist Sect who attacked you?" Dressed in a brightly colored brocade robe, the hot-tempered Senior Brother Wang immediately directed his accusation at Liang Yi after inspecting Lu Shanxing's injuries.

Upon hearing this, both Pang Qingshi and Lu Shanxing's expressions changed dramatically, sensing trouble brewing.

"Clang!" The crisp and pleasing sound of unsheathing a sword filled the air as a surge of soaring Sword Intent rushed straight towards Senior Brother Wang.
