My Wife Is The Leader Of A Demonic Cult

63  Chapter 63 Qingyang Wuji Liu Qingshan

"I want to see just how sharp your sword is."

Guo Yuchun snorted coldly, his palm lifting as a surge of inner strength welled up within him, followed by a palm strike towards An Jing.

Buzz! Buzz!

As his palm descended, the air itself seemed to tremble with that sound.

River Entering Dream!

The rolling handprint descended from the sky like a mountain bearing down fiercely, with the ground cracking inch by inch beneath it.

"A First Grade Expert!?" Su Ze was shocked at this revelation.

He had never heard that Guo Yuchun possessed cultivation, let alone at the First Grade level.

Not just Su Ze, most other people present were also taken aback, having never expected the seemingly weak Guo Yuchun to actually be a genuine First Grade cultivator.

In the Jianghu, a First Grade Expert was already an uncommonly seen master. It's known that among the four great families of Jiangnan Dao, three of the family heads were only at the Second Grade level, with only Mu Jinglun having stepped into the First Grade four years ago.

An Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, no wonder Xue Chen had died, it turned out that Guo Yuchun was actually of First Grade cultivation.

But he was not Xue Chen.

"Shh!"

Ghost Valley Sword Technique! Chi Heng Indiscriminate Style!

An Jing's arm lifted, and within that sword light, two streams of black and white qi seemed to emerge, then intertwining and coiling together.

"Hundred-step Flying Sword!?"

Seeing this swordsmanship, Guo Yuchun's eyebrows furrowed into a '川' shape.

Others beside him did not recognize this sword technique, but he was very clear that this was the distinctive sword technique of the Ghost Valley Sect.

A Heavenly Martial level martial arts, among the top martial arts in the world.

The mysterious sword light, black and white, shone brilliantly as it met Guo Yuchun's sky-filling palm print.

"Bang!"

On closer inspection, the sword light was like an antelope hanging by its horns, striking directly at the weakest point of Guo Yuchun's defense.

"Tap tap tap..."

Guo Yuchun's face turned pale as he continually stepped backwards.

Even his heart overflowed with a chilling sensation, realizing only during the brief exchange how vastly different the swordsman before him was from Xue Chen, not only in cultivation level but also in swordsmanship—there was no comparison.

Such a terrifying swordsman!

"Boom!"

Guo Yuchun changed his breath, pushing hard with his foot, and cracks appeared around his foot as the center. Then, his body shot forward like an arrow released from its bow.

River and Moon Palm!

During the turmoil of the Nine Kingdoms, there existed an organization called the Sun and Moon Hall, which wielded influence among various countries, stirring up chaos and seeking profit, enjoying a moment of fame, and River and Moon Palm was one of its martial arts.

But this hand technique was far inferior when encountering the Heavenly Martial level Hundred-step Flying Sword.

Their figures intersected, An Jing moved as if he were walking leisurely in his courtyard, his longsword weaving black and white qi streams, profoundly mysterious and dazzlingly confusing.

Ghost Valley Horizontal Sword Technique! Star Rain Form!

He lashed out with three continuous strikes, akin to a swift and fierce dragon, or meteors falling under the starry sky, heading straight for Guo Yuchun's throat, heart, and brow. The three swords moved with such speed, they seemed as if they were a single strike.

"What a formidable sword technique. This person's Qi Mechanism is long-winding, full of potential. Perhaps in the future, he might have a chance to step into the Fifth Level Sword Skill," Zhao Qingmei noted with a gleam of appreciation in her eyes.

A swordsman at the Fifth Level Sword Skill could be considered one of the very best swordsmen in the world. If she could recruit him under her command, the Demon Sect wouldn't just gain a powerful expert, but she would gain a close confidant and have enough strength to keep the Earth Sect Sect Master in check.

Thinking this, she silently pondered about how to subdue this exceptional swordsman later.

The rest were also amazed by An Jing's swordsmanship, but his skills were far beyond the comprehension of those present. Most could only see flashes of sword light and couldn't grasp his Sword Skill.

"Shshsh!"

So fast!

Guo Yuchun, engulfed in Star Light, felt his hair stand on end and a cold dread surged from within, as if he were enveloped by a massive net. His steps breezed to the side, evading in an instant.

Guo Yuchun hadn't expected An Jing to be so swift. In just a moment, he felt his skin prickle with the extreme danger, avoiding the strike purely on instinct.

"Hissla-!"

But just then, that snake-like blade twisted, cutting a bloody swath across Guo Yuchun's waist as the two separated.

In just a few dozen breaths, Guo Yuchun, a First Grade cultivator, had already been defeated.

"Vice Leader Guo!"

Ouyang Yu and Nan Ming rushed forward to assist, pressing towards An Jing.

"Someone's coming..."

An Jing's longsword blocked their assault, but his eyebrows knit together slightly, thinking to himself, It seems I need to finish this quickly.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The longsword in his hand spun, deploying the Hundred-step Flying Sword.

Fast!

Too fast!

Nearly no one present could clearly see the trajectory of An Jing's sword strikes; it was like wind whistling past their ears, only vaguely sensing the direction of the attacks. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Shh!"

Ouyang Yu was pierced by a sword in the chest, his body retreating repeatedly.

"Die!"

As An Jing struck Ouyang Yu, a ruthless killing intent flared in Nan Ming's eyes. He aimed a palm strike at An Jing's Heavenly Spirit.

An Jing's expression remained unchanged as he employed the Soaring Nine Heavens movement technique, his figure transforming into a phantom image, with a flash of cold light sweeping past.

"Pfft!"

Blood gushed like a fountain, jetting three feet high, as a fine head soared into the sky.

"Thump!"

Nan Ming's eyes lost their luster, and then he collapsed in a pool of blood.

Everyone present was terrified, feeling a coldness that shot from the soles of their feet to the tops of their heads.

How could this peerless swordsman kill two of Cao Gang's Vajras in an instant? What kind of terrifying strength was that?

An Jing leaped forward, arriving in front of Xue Chen's corpse. He scooped up the body and bolted towards the entrance of the hall.

Seeing An Jing's figure darting for the exit, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

No one had expected that today, this peerless swordsman would slay two of Cao Gang's Vajras and still calmly get away with Xue Chen's corpse.

Just as An Jing was about to disappear from the great hall.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

A formidable handprint appeared above the great hall, carrying the force of a mountain.

All present felt the whole hall shake, as if an earthquake had struck.

"What...what in the world is happening?"

Dust filled the air, and everyone's faces paled. Their minds were unsettled, and the scene instantly became chaotic.

"Qingshan Palm Seal! Liu Qingshan has arrived!"

Zhao Qingmei's eyes narrowed slightly at the sight.

She was all too familiar with this hand technique: it was the famed Qingshan Palm Seal of Cao Gang's Gang Leader.

Caught by the terrifying handprint, An Jing had no choice but to hastily retreat backwards.

Thud!

The massive handprint struck down, causing the ground to tremble. The enormous imprint of the palm was deeply engraved into the solid ground.

Upon seeing this, the great hall fell silent, as if time had frozen.

Everyone looked at the imprint on the ground and then swallowed hard in secret.

It wasn't until a series of coughing sounds were heard that the crowd snapped back to reality.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

A middle-aged man with a pale face slowly walked in, "Since you have come, why the hurry to leave?"

He appeared to be around forty-five or forty-six, with some graying at his temples. His eyebrows were thick and neat, and his eyes shone with vitality. He watched people with great intent.

"Gang Leader Liu has arrived."

Mu Jinglun came back to his senses from the shock and murmured softly to himself.

All the experts present were stunned, their gazes instantly fixated on the coughing middle-aged man.

The newcomer was none other than Liu Qingshan, the awe-inspiring Gang Leader of Cao Gang who dominated Jiangnan Dao, a top-tier expert on the Dragon List.

Controlling one of the five great gangs of the world, with hundreds of thousands of Cao Gang members and experts as common as rain, he was the definitive overlord of Jiangnan Dao.

"Liu Qingshan!?"

Seeing the man, An Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, and a chill rose within him.

That man standing there exerted immense pressure on him.

Expert!

The person before him was without a doubt a first-rate expert!

And the young man standing behind him also possessed great strength, likely to be Tian Liu, known as Soul Losing Hand, the legendary Guest Elder of Cao Gang.

"This peerless swordsman is probably..."

"Who would have thought, Gang Leader Liu has actually come to Yu State City."

"That palm just now, it was truly terrifying."

.......

Overwhelmed by Liu Qingshan's presence, everyone finally came to their senses.

"Gang Leader!"

Guo Yuchun, seeing the newcomer, revealed a glimmer of joy in his eyes.

All of a sudden, every Cao Gang expert seemed to have found their backbone, their eyes filled with a resolute killing intent.

"Alas," Su Ze sighed softly, feeling a sense of powerlessness.

Guo Yuchun was only a First Grade Expert with not even one flower condensed, but Liu Qingshan was a top-tier expert who had condensed both the Human Flower and Earth Flower. It seemed unlikely that the current swordsman would be able to make a move now.

"Sect Hierarch, should we make a move?" Tan Yun asked anxiously, seeming to fear for the peerless swordsman's safety.

"We'll take action when the swordsman can no longer hold up," Zhao Qingmei's eyes sparkled with a sharp gleam.

This swordsman was not weak; since rumors said he was an expert of the Demon Sect, why not make those rumors true and recruit him into their ranks? Now was just missing a chance to offer timely help.

Moreover, she also wanted to 'exchange pointers' with Cao Gang's Gang Leader Liu Qingshan and probe the depths of the current Great Yan Martial World.

"Since you have come today, I think it's best you don't leave."

Liu Qingshan watched An Jing with a smile, his aura slowly pressing down on him.

Boom!

Having said that, Liu Qingshan was still smiling, but those present felt a chill, as if they had suddenly entered an icehouse.

"Peak of Earth Flower!?"

An Jing's eyes narrowed slightly. He remained composed on the surface but was inwardly tense.

In the past, his strength was far superior to Liu Haoping and others from Tieyun Mountain. Now, Liu Qingshan's strength surpassed his.

"Come on, let's see the strength of Qingyang Wuji."

Qingyang Wuji was the title Liu Qingshan had been known by in the Jianghu, though it had not been mentioned by anyone for many years.

Hearing An Jing's words, Liu Qingshan smiled, "Cough, cough... Today I will let you understand the ways of the Jianghu."
