13: The power of the Immortal Execution Sword

"Hmm... it should be right here."

Nether Moon arrived at a mountain range deep within the Immortal Burial Cave.

This mountain range was different from others, exuding an aura of antiquity everywhere.

In the center of this mountain range stood a Colossal Bronze Palace.

This bronze palace was extremely magnificent; even after the baptism of ages, it still emitted a heart-shaking aura.

It was as if it had witnessed the ancient era, carrying a sense of vicissitude that lasted until the present day, making one feel an instinctive fear.

Nether Moon looked up at the towering bronze palace before her, an inexplicable expression flickering across her pretty face.

Then, endless Devilish Qi suddenly surged from her body, slowly enveloping the massive bronze gates.

As the bronze gates came into contact with the Devilish Qi from Nether Moon, it seemed to pass some form of verification.

The next moment, the bronze gates slowly creaked open.

Looking at the scene behind the bronze gates, Nether Moon sighed softly and stepped inside.

Once she entered, the bronze gates closed once more, as if nothing had ever happened... Ever since he had gone deep into the Immortal Burial Cave, Gu Yuan had encountered groups trying to rob him more than once.

Naturally, their end resulted in Gu Yuan seizing their spiritual energy.

Gu Yuan would never show mercy to such ill-intentioned people, nor did he feel any psychological burden.

Moreover, this was part of his training; Gu Yuan truly felt the reality of human nature.

In the face of the temptation of massive resources, human nature was truly unreliable.

Gu Yuan shook his head and once again skillfully seized the spiritual energy from the demonic creature before him.

After this period of seizing energy, his mastery of the Great Freedom Heaven Derivation Method had become increasingly proficient.

If this could also drop some equipment or something, that would be even better.

However, at that moment, Gu Yuan keenly sensed some movement ahead.

He frowned, then concealed his presence and slowly moved forward.

When Gu Yuan reached a valley ahead,

He was surprised to find that the Disciple of the Liyue Sword Sect he had seen before entering the Immortal Burial Cave was currently surrounded by several demonic creatures.

A massive Mysterious Ghost, a strange bird covered in flames, and a giant serpent with a bloody maw.

They were taking turns besieging that Disciple of the Liyue Sword Sect, while the sword Sect Disciple held her sword in resistance.

But facing the siege of these three powerful demonic creatures, her physical strength gradually began to fail, yet she still continuously swung her sword forward.

Gu Yuan watched the scene unfold before him and shook his head somewhat helplessly.

Disciples of the Liyue Sword Sect always took 'drawing one's sword upon meeting an enemy' as their life philosophy.

When facing a life-or-death crisis, the first thought in their minds was never to flee, but to face the enemy head-on.

Even if they knew they might be outmatched, they would still draw their swords and fight to the death.

This was the characteristic of the Liyue Sword Sect, and also why many people kept a respectful distance from them.

After all, facing a Sect that acted like madmen, most people wouldn't want to provoke them.

Not to mention, the Liyue Sword Sect had always held a single ideology.

That is, if a Sect Disciple is defeated by an enemy of the same Realm, then there is nothing more to be said.

But if someone uses their seniority to bully the young, or their strength to oppress the weak,

Then no matter when, no matter where,

The longswords of the Liyue Sword Sect will pursue the enemy, regardless of cost, regardless of reason, until one side is dead.

Gu Yuan had deeply understood this ideology when he met that Sword Immortal in the past.

And now, he was seeing it once again.

Looking at the determination on the face of that Liyue Sword Sect Disciple and her resolute silhouette that refused to retreat, Gu Yuan sighed softly.

"Fine, fine. I'll treat this as making up for some of my apologies to you."

"After all... this is a Disciple of your Sect."

Gu Yuan exchanged a [Yuan Ascension Pill] from the System Mall.

This was a Medicinal Pill that could temporarily raise one's Realm by one level without any side effects.

Gu Yuan sensed the three demonic creatures ahead; their strength should be around the seventh rank, equivalent to Cultivators in the Divine Charm Realm.

The Disciple of the Liyue Sword Sect seemed to have just entered the Divine Charm Realm, which was why she was struggling so much against the siege of three demonic creatures.

After taking the pill, Gu Yuan felt his own strength surge, and he revealed a slight smile.

"Using a drug-taking cheat is indeed quite satisfying."

Then Gu Yuan took out the immortal slaying sword. Although his current strength made using the immortal slaying sword extremely forced,

He estimated that after using it once, all the spiritual energy in his body would be drained dry.

However... Gu Yuan had already prepared a backup plan: the [Source Restoration Pill] from the System Mall.

Well, its effect wasn't much; it just instantly replenished one's spiritual energy to its Peak state.

Cough, it was essentially like using a bug to wield the immortal slaying sword without side effects.

Gu Yuan held the immortal slaying sword, looking at the three demonic creatures ahead, and muttered to himself:

"Let me see just how powerful this famous immortal slaying sword is. After all... beneath this sword, immortals and demons perish together!"

As Gu Yuan's voice fell, a heaven-shaking Sword Qi instantly formed on the horizon.

With the formation of the Sword Qi, anomalies even appeared across the entire sky.

Endless thunderclouds gathered, and that destructive Sword Qi was surrounded by the majestic light of lightning.

The three demonic creatures in the valley seemed to sense the arrival of danger.

Their bodies trembled, and just as they were about to turn and flee,

The Sword Qi carrying the lightning's majesty slashed straight toward them.

In just an instant, the three demonic creatures were reduced to ashes within the Sword Qi, unable to let out even a single wail.

"My goodness..." Gu Yuan's mouth hung open.

"Wait, I knew the immortal slaying sword was incredible, but... this is too incredible."

"And it can actually trigger heaven and earth anomalies."

This... Gu Yuan felt like he was using a cannon to hit a mosquito.

He shook his head and swallowed the [Source Restoration Pill].

As the spiritual energy in his body instantly recovered, Gu Yuan walked toward the Disciple of the Liyue Sword Sect.

Yun Qingci only felt utterly dazed at this moment.

She had inadvertently entered the territory of three seventh-rank demonic creatures.

Originally, Yun Qingci had even prepared herself to perish together with those three demonic creatures.

After all, as a Disciple of the Liyue Sword Sect, the word 'flee' had never appeared in their dictionary.

But just as she was prepared to fight for her life, an invincible Sword Qi had directly slain those three demonic creatures.

Yun Qingci didn't know how to describe that Sword Qi.

But she felt that the Sword Qi could even be compared to her Revered Master.

"Are you all right?"

While Yun Qingci was in a trance, a gentle voice came from behind her.

Yun Qingci slowly turned around, only to see a strange man smiling at her.
