The pile of flesh there was once the genius disciple of the Seven-Star Sword Sect, known for comprehending the Slaughter Sword Intent and revered by many disciples of the sect. Among loose cultivators, he was practically seen as a god.

But now he's just a pile of flesh lying there, and the only thing that proves his identity is the blood-stained wooden sword that had accompanied him since his cultivation began.

This sword had witnessed the journey of this genius Sword Cultivator from the Seven-Star Sword Sect, from a mere mortal to a person who, with his astounding talent in the Sword Dao and a simple wooden sword and ordinary Sword Manual, massacred hundreds of people in his enemy's clan.

After entering the Seven-Star Sword Sect, he rose rapidly and became unstoppable!

After comprehending the Slaughter Sword Intent, he was considered a strong contender for a True Disciple, with the potential to break into the Golden Core Realm in the future!

He rose from being an ordinary orphan to becoming a hotly sought-after genius disciple of the Seven-Star Sword Sect!

Yet now he lies dead from a mission, slain by the also renowned Inner Disciple Meng Yan of the Cyan Origin Sect, a single strike putting an end to his journey towards becoming a legend.

He died in disgrace, without any value.

Meanwhile, Meng Yan, as strong as a tower, bore several deep wounds down to the bone, yet these didn't touch any critical points, which to a cultivator, isn't a major concern, especially for Meng Yan, who had plenty of Healing Elixirs.

His presence was exceptionally strong, and his battle will was incredibly determined.

However, when he turned his gaze to Yaya's battlefield, seeing the charred remains of the witch, his pupil shrank instantly!

The genius Demon Cultivator of the Demon Sky Sect, who was equally as famous as him, was dead? And in such a miserable state!

Previously, when Qi Ping suggested that Yaya handle one enemy alone if there were many, he disagreed, because in his eyes, though Yaya was formidable, facing such a terrifying genius alone was too dangerous.

It was only after Qi Ping insisted on it and had backup plans did he reluctantly agree, otherwise, he had planned to battle two opponents himself, while Yaya was just to provide interference.

But the result now completely overturned his view, Yaya won!

She had slain the powerful enemy that even he had to face with caution!

Facing Meng Yan's gaze, Yaya displayed a confident look of triumph before swiftly advancing towards Qi Ping's battlefield.

For Qi Ping's battlefield wasn't yet concluded...

Seeing this, Meng Yan immediately moved to assist Qi Ping.

But upon seeing Qi Ping's situation, Meng Yan paused slightly...

Because Qi Ping didn't appear to have any injuries.

His opponent, the man from the Celestial Fire Pavilion, was in a bad shape, with both burns and explosive injuries, his expression brimming with anger.

At this moment, filled with rage, he relentlessly chased Qi Ping, yet Qi Ping refused to engage him directly, only employing the terrifying explosive power of the Flame Burst Body Technique to execute a guerrilla strategy.

Qi Ping's explosive power was too terrifying; it was extremely difficult to catch him in short distances.

There were a few occasions when he finally managed to confront Qi Ping directly, yet Qi Ping's defense seemed even more outrageous, causing no effective damage. That strange tree bark-like defense combined with the Flame Burst Net was impervious to his punches, even injuring himself.

Close combat for a bit longer could have worked, but Qi Ping wouldn't stay engaged long, touching and evading.

Adding to the irritation, he couldn't assist others as Qi Ping kept throwing Flame Burst Fireballs, impossible to take head-on due to their remarkable power, making it impossible to aid others...

And so the situation became like this, as he chased Qi Ping with his injured, soot-covered body while Qi Ping just toyed with him...

With the interference of the array, catching Qi Ping became even more impossible.

"If you're a man, face me head-on! You piece of garbage! You cowardly wretch!" roared the burly man from the Celestial Fire Pavilion.

He believed that if he could confront Qi Ping in a hard battle, he could beat Qi Ping to death!

That's why he could only scream madly.

Yet, facing the jeering of the burly man from the Celestial Fire Pavilion, Qi Ping remained unmoved.

What use is trash-talking? Would he be foolish enough to head-on with a Body Cultivator? Does he look stupid?

What truly mattered was to utilize his advantage to kill the opponent, not risk his life for meaningless pride.

However, this Body Cultivator was indeed extraordinary, not only possessing strong physical defense but also terrifying offensiveness. Despite having the Flame Burst Net and Tree Skin Technique defenses, he still sustained some injuries. Were it not for the Healing Technique to occasionally mend his body, his current physical state would be much worse.

A purely close-quarters battle against such a balanced Body Cultivator would spell certain defeat for Qi Ping!

Fortunately, his Flame Burst Body Technique fortified by various talents was strong enough, allowing him to repeatedly elude the entanglement of the burly man from the Celestial Fire Pavilion.

Even Meng Yan in battle occasionally employed this magic, proving its extraordinary nature as even such a talented cultivator as Meng Yan had to resort to such magic.

"Raging against me is useless, your companions seem close to dying..." Qi Ping replied calmly.

Qi Ping had glimpsed just now, seeing the genius Sword Cultivator with Slaughter Sword Intent and the genius witch with Super-Strong Demon Intent, on the verge of death.

Soon after, Qi Ping and his opponent witnessed the scene of those two both falling in battle.

Even Yaya's combat performance somewhat exceeded Qi Ping's expectations, as she surpassed his estimations in combat talent, will, and ferocity. This was Qi Ping's first time seeing Yaya going head-to-head with an opponent of the same level.

"What!"

Witnessing this, the face of the burly man from the Celestial Fire Pavilion drastically changed, immediately attempting to abandon Qi Ping and flee.

But how could Qi Ping let him have his way?

He immediately closed in, throwing a Flame Burst Fireball his way!

Coupled with array interference and being slower than Qi Ping, he couldn't possibly shake off Qi Ping's pursuit.

Just then, Yaya and Meng Yan also arrived, and under the trio's siege, there was no suspense. After expending considerable effort, they finally slew the Body Cultivator genius from the Celestial Fire Pavilion!

It's undeniable, this Body Cultivator was really tough; if Qi Ping's speed wasn't fast enough and if he had not focused on training defense and escape speed, a one-on-one situation could potentially lead to him being killed by the guy's fists.

"It's finally over! Brother Qi, I really troubled you this time!" Meng Yan sincerely cupped his fist toward Qi Ping, then continued,

"These individuals held not low statuses, and although according to the sects' combat contract, Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators won't intervene, we must prevent any potential risks!"

"Alright!" Qi Ping naturally had no objections to this, eager to leave this place!

Meng Yan then quickly gathered the weapons and storage bags on the ground, and along with Qi Ping, swiftly departed the scene.

Thus, the plan of the three major sects to jointly besiege Meng Yan not only ended in complete failure, but all three were also killed!

This outcome could only be blamed on their arrogance, daring to step in despite knowing about the array, otherwise, they might not have had no chance to escape.

Indeed, the fundamental reason for their demise was the unexpected addition of a piece to the chessboard next to Meng Yan.

As news of the shattering life tokens of these three spread to the sects, it instantly stirred considerable waves.

Even exalted Golden Core cultivators couldn't help frowning, the outcome deviating too far from their estimations, could there be some unforeseen events occurring in Qingshi County?

...

Shortly after Qi Ping and his team left, a figure in green holding a blood-stained long sword arrived at the scene.

It was Lin Qingshu, who had hurried to the site, her body and sword stained with fresh blood, clearly having just engaged in a heated battle.

Though unfamiliar with Meng Yan, she received similar information and guessed that the opponent might be at risk, so hurried over, prepared to join Meng Yan in eliminating those covetous individuals from Qingshi County.

Unfortunately, she was impeded, and it was after a bloody struggle that she arrived here.

But upon seeing the site, the battle was already over?

Especially seeing the three destroyed bodies on the ground caused her to be momentarily stunned.

Although the site was destroyed, the lingering aura allowed identifying the rough identities of the deceased, which was why Lin Qingshu was so shocked.

"All three of them were slain by Meng Yan!?"
