Everyone was stunned as they looked at the battlefield.

There, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared and decapitated the King of Mountain Swallowing with a single sword strike.

The ferocious demon bled out, its massive head falling in a perfect vertical line from the sky. The demon blood dyed the sky a crimson red, and the eyes on that head bulged with disbelief, widening as it plummeted to the ground, raising clouds of dust.

This scene happened so suddenly that the entire audience couldn't react in time.

"Wh... what's going on?"

The monks of Lingyin Temple were stunned when they saw who had made the move. To their shock, it was the hated Master of Qingfeng Temple.

All the monks were bewildered.

"Him?"

"Was it really him who intervened to save the Buddhist Sect?"

"Holy shit! How is that possible?"

On the outskirts, countless cultivators widened their eyes, gazing at the battlefield and the person in the blue Daoist robe, utterly in disbelief.

"Wasn't Qingfeng Temple and the Buddhist Sect already at an irreconcilable stalemate? Why then, did this Daoist step in to save them?"

"Is this... truly a case of slaying demons and evil without hesitation?"

"No, is he crazy? Everyone in the Buddhist Sect sees him as a thorn in their side, and Jinshan Temple, one of the Three Great Saint Sects, continually suppresses Qingfeng Temple, yet he actually... he actually..."

"So in his eyes, demons and evildoers are the real enemies, even setting aside the Buddhist Daoist disputes temporarily?"

"Is this what a Daoist is?"

The observing cultivators were collectively shocked.

The monks of Lingyin Temple, after realizing what happened, felt as if their hearts were overturned cabinets, filled with mixed emotions and couldn't calm down.

"Why would he intervene to save us?"

The eyes of the Eighteen Copper Arhats were extremely complex. Outsiders only thought that Lingyin Temple had dispatched forces to suppress Black Mountain.

But it was impossible that the Daoist didn't know they were actually going against Qingfeng Temple!

In terms of reasoning and sentiment, the one to intervene should never have been him...

Dust Concealment also noticed the sudden situation here, and when he realized someone had intervened, he felt excited.

But upon discovering that the one who intervened was that Daoist from Qingfeng Temple, even Dust Concealment, who was used to storms, was temporarily dumbfounded.

Until the Tree Demon Granny's attack came, he refocused his mind and hastily responded.

At this moment, the Thousand-legged State Preceptor and the Sea-Overturning Flood Dragon King finally came to their senses.

Upon realizing that the King of Mountain Swallowing was decapitated, their shock and anger were immediately expressed, and the Thousand-legged State Preceptor angrily looked at the Daoist in front of him, coldly scolding:

"Where did this stinking Daoist come from, daring to oppose Black Mountain?"

"Don't you know even the Daoist Holy Land Qingcheng Mountain is..."

Before he could finish, Lin Heng, with an impassive expression, swung his sword directly, a terrifying Sword Qi raising giant waves, splitting the sky and making the Thousand-legged State Preceptor's pupils tremble greatly, and hurriedly retreating.

While it barely avoided it, the distant land wasn't so fortunate.

The ground was directly split open for thousands of feet by the surging waves of Sword Qi, raising clouds of dust.

Lin Heng's decisiveness and lethality made the head of the Thousand-legged State Preceptor buzz, staring blankly at the Daoist opposite, an unexplainable rage surging within.

"No one, no one dares to interrupt my speech!"

His expression gradually turned fierce, and the thousands of feet of Centipede Dharma Aspect suddenly surged out, stirring a fierce stench, aiming to tear the Daoist opposite to pieces.

Lin Heng looked apathetic, not even bothering with any flamboyance, casually striking with a sword, instantly triggering endless Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi raged like a dragon, directly tearing the thousands of feet of the Centipede Dharma Aspect into shreds in the air.

Such terrifying killing power shocked everyone present.

"Wait, the Master of Qingfeng Temple has broken through again?"

"My god, it hasn't even been that long!"

"Last time, he was still in a fierce fight with the Grandmaster Abbot of Jinshan Temple, and now he can shatter the Dharma Aspect of a peak Great Power with a single sword?"

"What kind of monstrous genius is this?"

Many Great Cultivators were shocked by the scene before their eyes.

Though they were already shocked by the King of Mountain Swallowing being decapitated by the sword.

While astonishing, it was somewhat understandable; after all, that Daoist wielded an Immortal Sword and struck without the opponent's defense.

But now, the Thousand-legged State Preceptor had engaged him head-on, yet its Dharma Aspect was shattered in a single round.

How could everyone not be shocked?

"Is this person really the Master of Qingfeng Temple?"

On the periphery, Elder Meng, one of the Five Elders of the Empire, couldn't help but ask in astonishment.

"Indeed."

Hong Zhongwei and Yan Tong both nodded simultaneously, their expressions equally shocked.

Though they couldn't discern the Master's present cultivation level, they could clearly sense that compared to last time's battle with the Abbot of Jinshan Temple, he has had an incredibly frightening breakthrough!

"Elder Meng, could it be that this person has entered the Great Power Realm?" Hong Zhongwei couldn't help but ask.

Meng Zhenshan twitched his lips, murmuring in amazement, "More than that, he has reached the Middle Stage of Great Power..."

"Wh... what?"

Hong Zhongwei was incredulous: "How long has it been? He actually broke through to the Middle Stage of Great Power? This... the documentation at Spirit Suppression Headquarters can't even keep up with his breakthrough speed, isn't this too monstrous?"

The Master of Qingfeng Temple's rapid breakthrough was long recorded by the Spirit Suppression Headquarters.

The records about his strength often needed updates.

Yet, Hong Zhongwei still found it unimaginable, what kind of monstrous genius could step into the Great Power from a Grandmaster in such a short span, and also cultivate deeply into the Middle Stage of Great Power?

"Even the legendary founder of Wudang Mountain, Master Zhang, who ascended six hundred years ago, wasn't this exaggerated, was he?" Hong Zhongwei couldn't help but frown.

Wudang's Master Zhang was an unparalleled genius, the only one in Daoism to ascend in a millennium!

"Not only does Wudang's Master pale in comparison, but even Jinshan Temple's Fa Hai, who once quickly became invincible upon his emergence, didn't have such a cultivation speed recorded in the annals..."

"This person's talent, surveying both ancient and modern times, there might not be many who could compare to him!"

Meng Zhenshan sincerely marveled.

Recently, he had heard a lot about the feats of the Daoist from Qingfeng Temple, and his disciple Yan Tong had expressed his admiration for the Master numerous times.

Therefore, Meng Zhenshan never underestimated this suddenly emerging Daoist genius.

But upon witnessing him today, Meng Zhenshan realized this person's monstrous level might far exceed the Empire's estimates!

Of course, the most shocked at this moment had to be the Thousand-legged State Preceptor.

Its Dharma Aspect was shattered by a single sword, its organs ached, and it spewed a mouthful of blood.

It instantly awoke, realizing the sword in the opponent's hand was also an Immortal Soldier!

Panicked at heart, it disregarded its anger, transformed into a stream of red light, and turned to escape.
