"Guh... such a big tiger demon..."

Old Ghost Fu looked at the tiger demon in the sky that covered the moon, unable to speak clearly.

Shi Xuan, however, had the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Now that this secret treasury is opened, all sorts of demons and monsters have come."

While the two spoke, the massive tiger demon descended from the sky.

It was a tiger demon with a body length of several tens of zhang and a height of over ten zhang.

There was no lack of knowledgeable people in the crowd, who instantly exclaimed upon seeing these five powerful Nirvana Realm cultivators.

"They... they are the Tianchan Five Elders!"

"I didn't expect that the Nine Stars Alignment and the opening of the secret treasury today would startle these five fellows who usually stay out of worldly disputes."

"The Tianchan Five Elders?"

Shi Xuan muttered.

Old Ghost Fu hurriedly said, "My Lord, the Tianchan Five Elders belong to no sect. It is said that they were transformed from a pine, a toad, a bone, a tiger, and a soul within Tianchan Mountain."

"As for the reasons for their transformation, there are many theories. Some say they were formed from the blessings of a Great Emperor's ascension."

"Others say they obtained some incredible opportunity."

"But regardless of the cause, the Five Elders are all more or less related to an Immortal Emperor."

"I see."

As Shi Xuan spoke, a look of excitement shone in his eyes. After leaving the Land of Slaughter, he had never exchanged blows with a master of the Nirvana Realm, so he did not know the strength of these Five Elders.

"I didn't expect that there are still people in this world who remember our Tianchan Five Elders."

The old Daoist stroked his beard and said unhurriedly, "Since you know our identity, why do you not retreat immediately? This secret treasury of Tianchan Mountain is not something you can covet."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present varied.

Some were fearful, some were unwilling, and some were dissatisfied.

Old Ghost Fu lowered his voice and asked, "My Lord, what should we do now?"

Shi Xuan smiled and said, "Naturally, we enter the secret treasury. As for whether others enter or not, it has nothing to do with us. We opened this secret treasury, so it makes no sense to arrive at a mountain of treasure and leave empty-handed."

Although his tone was very flat, it sounded very inspiring to the crowd.

Everyone was incredibly relieved that their previous choice had been correct.

A powerful expert who does not even fear the Tianchan Five Elders must be a being of the Nirvana Realm, and possibly even a King.

"Let us go."

Seeing that no one in the crowd objected, Shi Xuan took Liang Yi and walked toward the gate of light.

The unusual movement of this group naturally attracted the surprised gazes of everyone.

Elder Tiger looked down at them from above and said, "Did you all perhaps fail to hear Elder Daoist Pine's words?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Xuan said faintly, "So what if we heard it? This secret treasury was opened by us jointly. Do you intend to stop us?"

Hiss...

The bystanders nearby heard these self-righteous words and subconsciously gave a thumbs-up to the man wearing the bronze mask.

They had seen people who did not fear death before, but this was the first time they had seen someone rushing to die.

"Young man, have you not heard of the prestige of our Tianchan Five Elders?"

Elder Tiger asked, staring straight at Shi Xuan with a pair of eyes as dazzling as stars.

"Prestige?"

Shi Xuan smiled contemptuously, "Hehe, if you call this prestige, then wouldn't this Young Master have been famous across the four seas long ago?"

Arrogant!

What an arrogant fellow. Could it be that this man wearing the mask is also a Nirvana Realm expert?

This thought flashed through the minds of many people.

"Who are you?"

The scholar standing next to Elder Tiger subconsciously asked.

"I fear stating my name would scare you to death. However, in the Land of Slaughter, everyone calls me the Sword of Broken Slaughter!"

As Shi Xuan spoke, the killing intent on his body burst forth once again, rushing straight into the sky.

Coincidentally, a cloud drifted over from the horizon at that moment. Illuminated by the light of the keys, everyone could clearly see that the cloud had been dyed blood-red by blood energy.

How terrifying this killing intent is!

Who on earth is this Sword of Broken Slaughter?

Just as the crowd began to ponder the origin of this person, another round of exclamations came from the masses.

"I remember now. He is the newly risen prodigy of the Wendao Academy, the Sword of Broken Slaughter. It is said that he cultivated in the Land of Slaughter for ten years as if it were a single day. Even though killing intent surrounds him, his sword remains invincible. No one knows how strong he is, but not a single demonic creature has ever escaped disaster from the sword in his hand."

These six words, "Prodigy of the Wendao Academy," were sufficient to intimidate the heroes.

The prestige of the Twin Saint Sons of the Wendao Academy is known to the world; they two are the representatives of the academy's prodigies.

Since the two of them burst onto the scene, those within the Wendao Academy who can be titled as prodigies are invariably beings capable of crossing realms to slay their betters.

The expressions of the Tianchan Five Elders also stiffened. They had not expected to encounter a prodigy of the Wendao Academy here.

Although they exist in the Nirvana Realm, they have not been ennobled as Kings. Facing a behemoth like the Wendao Academy, they would not even have a chance to flee.

Seeing that the Five Elders did not speak, Shi Xuan smiled and asked, "Now may I go in?"

"Amitabha."

The old monk was the first to speak. "Since this secret treasury was opened by Young Lord, this humble monk naturally dares not stop you. Please."

"At least you are sensible."

As Shi Xuan spoke, he took a step forward.

"Wait."

Elder Tiger spoke out to stop Shi Xuan and the others.

Shi Xuan slowly turned his head and asked, "Do you still have business?"

"You say you are a prodigy of the Wendao Academy; does that make you truly a prodigy of the Wendao Academy?"

Elder Tiger locked his eyes firmly on Shi Xuan. If this exception were made, and others also claimed to be prodigies of the Holy Lands, wouldn't they have come for nothing?

"Oh?"

Shi Xuan asked with interest, "Then what do you want?"

Elder Tiger said, "Prove it to us."

"Are you sure?"

Shi Xuan's tone was still as flat as ever, simply looking like a completely different person compared to his appearance of surging killing intent.

"Correct."

Madame Hua also chimed in, "It is not that we do not believe you, Young Lord. However, with so many eyes watching here, it would be difficult to bring this to an end if you do not prove yourself, would it not?"

Shi Xuan swept his gaze over the Tianchan Five Elders and asked, "Who among you wishes to test whether the precious sword in my hand is sharp?"

The Five Elders looked at each other, and finally, the other four elders stared straight at Elder Tiger.

"Hmph!"

Elder Tiger snorted coldly, "A bunch of greedy cowards afraid of death. Let this King see your swordsmanship for myself. Draw your sword."

The gazes of everyone present fell upon Shi Xuan. They saw Shi Xuan slowly walk out from the crowd.

Shi Xuan stepped into the air, slowly drew the long sword from his hand, and said faintly, "As you wish."

As his words fell, the long sword in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath, and he made a casual thrust toward Elder Tiger.

Clang!

Accompanied by the sound of a sword ringing, a sword qi slashed across the sky.

Illuminated by the moonlight, the crowd only saw a blood-red sword Dharma Aspect surrounding the sword qi.

Sword Intent taking form, Sword Intent Great Completion!

Just as this thought flashed through the minds of the crowd, they saw Shi Xuan slowly sheath the precious sword in his hand and say faintly, "Who else?"

Before his voice had faded, the giant tiger in the sky separated its head from its body and fell toward the ground...
