"Interesting."

A cold light flashed in Li Yun’s eyes.

The strength of these seven people was actually not bad. If they joined forces, they could barely contend with a cultivator at the 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm. No wonder they had managed to survive the first trial on Chaos Wind Island.

However, this level of strength was still far from enough to threaten him.

"Lightning Wings."

Blue lightning flickered around Li Yun’s body, and eighty percent Lightning Intent surged within his movement. His speed instantly erupted, surpassing the vast majority of cultivators at the 9th level of the Mortal Core Realm.

Swoosh!

In an instant, his figure appeared beside the weakest among the seven. Without giving the other party any chance to react, Li Yun directly unleashed the first strike of the Ten Thousand Slaughter Sword Art.

"Blood Opening Slash."

Squelch!

That person’s body was sliced in half on the spot.

"Seventh Brother?"

Seeing this, the remaining six turned pale with shock. In the next moment, hatred erupted in their eyes, and all six roared at the same time. Their heavy hammers descended together, smashing down with terrifying force.

Boom!

The overwhelming power caused the air itself to collapse. Thunder-like explosions rang out continuously, and the raw force of the attack was fierce and tyrannical to the extreme.

"The force is strong, but unfortunately, it is useless against me."

Li Yun’s expression remained calm.

His speed erupted fully, and he directly avoided the center of the six-man attack. Then, he unleashed the full power of the Ten Thousand Slaughter Sword Art.

In an instant, Sword Qi formed entirely from Slaughter Sword Intent surged out from his sword.

There were hundreds of strands in total, and every single strand carried enough power to take their lives in one strike. The Sword Qi shot forward like a storm, aiming straight for their heads and vital points.

In the blink of an eye, the Slaughter Sword Qi pierced through their bodies.

"No. How can Li Yun be this terrifying?"

In the blink of an eye, six of the seven had fallen, leaving only the tall young man who led them. His face was filled with terror, and he could not accept the reality before him at all.

A cultivator at the 9th level of the Essence Qi Realm had actually killed six cultivators at the 8th level of the Mortal Core Realm in an instant. What kind of combat power was this?

Squelch!

However, before he could think any further, a strand of Sword Qi flashed toward him like lightning and quietly sliced his body into two pieces.

"Too weak."

Li Yun glanced at the seven corpses lying on the ground, shook his head, and took their storage rings.

His current strength was already enough to face anyone in the Mortal Core Realm. However, Li Yun still felt that he had not truly reached the level of being invincible within that realm. If he encountered someone extremely powerful at the Half-Step Earthly Core Realm, then unless he revealed all of his strength, killing that person with his current power would still be extremely difficult.

These seven were indeed not weak when they fought together, but with Li Yun’s terrifying speed, they had no chance to properly join forces. From the beginning, they were destined to be picked off one by one.

At that moment, a mission appeared in front of him.

[Quest Level: B]

– Objective: [Kill Crown Prince Xing Tian and his followers]

– Reward: [300000 EXP]

"Finally. This is the mission I have been waiting for."

Li Yun grinned when he saw it.

Last time, when he had fought Crown Prince Xing Tian, Li Yun had been somewhat disappointed. He had been about to kill him, but at that time, he thought that killing him would not give him any EXP.

Because of that, when Crown Prince Xing Tian escaped, Li Yun had even felt a little relieved, thinking that perhaps it was for the best.

Now, he had finally received the mission to kill him.

"Xing Tian, your time has come."

Li Yun laughed, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.

Withdrawing his gaze, Li Yun swung his sword and directly tore open the barrier covering the surface of the immortal cave. After that, he walked inside.

Boom!

The moment he stepped into the immortal cave, an incredibly fierce aura blasted toward him. This aura was far more overbearing than the twin hammers used by the strongest among the previous seven, and it had almost reached the limit of the 8th level of the Mortal Core Realm.

A puppet nearly three meters tall appeared before Li Yun. Its entire body was covered in golden battle armor, and its face was dull and expressionless. Without any hesitation, it threw a heavy punch toward Li Yun’s head.

"A puppet?"

Li Yun had already been on guard, so his reaction was naturally extremely fast. At the same time the golden-armored puppet punched, he had already activated Lightning Wings and easily avoided its strike.

Then, he turned and struck back with Supreme Hegemony Fist.

Bang!

The puppet exploded into fragments of metal, wood, and other unknown materials.

A puppet was still a puppet after all. In battle, it was not as flexible as a human, and its awareness of protecting its vital points was extremely limited.

Because of that, as long as Li Yun seized the right opening, his attack power was enough to destroy it in a single strike.

Just to be cautious in the cave, Li Yun took out the ten Violet Shadow Swords and continued walking forward.

The passage was dark and long. Li Yun walked for a full fifteen minutes without encountering any more obstacles. Then, at a certain moment, the space ahead suddenly brightened.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

At the same time, incredibly heavy footsteps suddenly rang out.

Those footsteps seemed to carry a certain rhythm, like the beating of war drums or the heartbeat of an ancient giant. Every time they sounded, they made one’s heart skip a beat.

In the next moment, nine golden-armored puppets identical to the previous one appeared before Li Yun.
