The boy in green was horrified and pointed at the young man in black, exclaiming, “You... you are the Seven Killing Demon Sword?”
“Indeed, that’s me. Do you still wish to fight me?” the young man in black replied calmly.
The boy in green's face flickered between red and green as he retreated without uttering a word.
The man spoken of, Bo Wujing, was a renowned genius within his clan, even more prominent than him. In the Martial King realm, he was said to be invincible and was hailed as the number one genius of the clan.
However, once during an outing, Bo Wujing was defeated by an opponent of the same level, leading to his complete loss of resolve and his fall into mediocrity.
Initially, the family had promised Bo Wujing a qualification for the Ancient Ruins Realm, but after his downfall, the family had completely abandoned him.
The one who defeated Bo Wujing was known as the Seven Killing Demon Sword, for anyone who faced him was guaranteed to be defeated within seven strikes.
The boy in green was unaware that this Seven Killing Demon Sword stood before him as the man in black; otherwise, he would never have dared to provoke him.
When Bo Wujing was defeated, he had already reached the half-step Martial Emperor stage, while the boy in green was merely a late-stage peak Martial King—his talents and strength were even slightly inferior to Bo Wujing’s. He certainly did not wish to meet the same fate as Bo Wujing.
Everyone else was also shocked; the boy in green was the latest rising genius of the Bo family, who had joined the Ancient Fang Sect and come along with their experts.
Although he wasn't particularly extraordinary, being able to join the Ancient Fang Sect and represent the Bo family was already impressive. The fact that he was so terrified by a mere utterance from the young man in black was truly unfathomable.
“Hiss, the Seven Killing Demon Sword!”
After a moment of shock, everyone finally reacted, realizing that the young man in black was indeed the extraordinarily mysterious Seven Killing Demon Sword of the Martial Domain.
Once, there had been a young sword master who traveled far and wide, challenging opponents, and defeating countless Martial King geniuses within seven strikes, some of whom even had their resolve shattered.
Yet two years ago, the Seven Killing Demon Sword suddenly vanished without a trace. Now thinking back, the young man in black should have been at the peak of late-stage Martial King at that time, and his challenges were probably to break through to the half-step Martial Emperor level.
Clearly, he succeeded. Hence, he had disappeared two years ago, no longer in need of challenging others.
“Fenglei Di Zi, set a rule for us. Let’s determine the required cultivation level needed to step onto the Rainbow Bridge and swiftly eliminate the weaklings so we won’t waste any more time,” the young man in black said impatiently. Although there were nearly two years left before the Ancient Ruins Realm closed, he didn’t want to squander time on meaningless matters.
“Ha ha, then let this Di Zi set the rules,” Fenglei Di Zi laughed heartily.
“Hmm, what a bold statement. Here I thought it was someone of great stature, only to find it is Fenglei Di Zi of the Xuanyuan Empire—a mere son of the Xuanyuan Emperor, the least capable one at that. Those who don’t know would think the Xuanyuan Emperor himself has arrived.”
Suddenly, a thunderous sound echoed through the sky as a group of imposing boys and girls descended gracefully upon the plaza.
This group was predominantly female, each beautiful beyond compare, and at the forefront was a young girl clad in palace attire. She was not very old, yet carried herself with extraordinary grace as she descended on clouds.
When she landed, all things lost their brightness.
Especially as she fell, colorful auspicious light surrounded her, making her appear like a celestial being.
Such a mere mortal could emanate such divine light?
The crowd’s gaze immediately sharpened; this was a born spirit body!
