Then there was a crack, and the table finally crumbled under the heavy burden.
The bare-chested strongman scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, glancing at the tea shop owner.
The tea shop owner hurriedly forced a smile, not daring to say anything.
Looking up at the sky once again, the bare-chested strongman confidently proclaimed, "This time, the Demon Ghost is surely doomed...!"
Before his words faded, the crimson, malevolent moon suddenly began to transform, instantly morphing from a full moon into a ghastly White Bone Throne.
Above the throne, a figure was slowly emerging.
At the same time.
Five sword lights had already zoomed close.
But the figure atop the throne didnโt even glance at the incoming sword lights, merely letting out a cold snort.
This simple snort, though, was like a muffled thunder, echoing throughout the skies of Jianzhou.
The one at the forefront was Shi Jian, who charged in first.
His sword light, having pierced through layers of moonlight, had almost reached the figure, but when the cold snort sounded, the solid sword light was blasted to pieces.
Shi Jian grunted, and was blown back and sent flying as well.
Following closely were the Sword-holding Elder, Sword Control, Ting Jian, and Mo Jian, all meeting the same fate.
Thus, the five imposing sword lights had not even touched the figure before they were repelled tens of miles away.
Upon stabilizing themselves, the five spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, with Shi Jian being the most severely injured, his eyesโ sword light dimming as well.
At the same time.
The figure above the White Bone Throne finally revealed itself.
It was a petite and exquisite woman of unforgettable appearance, clad in simple garments.
She sat cross-legged with a long smoking pipe in hand and cast a cold glance at the distant group of five from the Sword-holding Elder.
"Has Mingxin Palace really degraded to such an extent?"
Her voice spread across the entire Jianzhou, causing everyoneโs heart to clench instantly.
Because they had all witnessed the scene just now.
The united strike of Mingxin Palaceโs five Great Elders failed to even approach the woman before they were blasted away.
Such disparity in strength was simply despairing.
The Sword-holding Elder and the others were all gasping heavily at this moment.
Because that strike had severely damaged their Sword Intent.
Yet even so, no trace of fear could be found in the eyes of these five.
"Youngest brother, how are you?" the Sword-holding Elder asked softly.
"Wonโt die!" Shi Jian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, speaking indifferently.
"Her power has become even stronger than what was recorded a thousand years ago!" Sword Control sighed softly.
"Afraid?" Ting Jian chuckled lightly.
All five shook their heads together, then exchanged smiles.
"Itโs been a long time since weโve fought side by side like this!" Mo Jian exclaimed with a sigh.
"Indeed! This calamity is no trifling matter, but we, as Sword Cultivator disciples, how can we shrink back?" Ting Jian said calmly.
"Senior brother, just give the order!" Sword Control said softly.
The Sword-holding Elder nodded and then turned to look at all the Mingxin Palace disciples who were ready, a glint of gratification flashing in his eyes.
"Three thousand disciples of Mingxin Palace, heed my command!"
"Acknowledge!" From top to bottom, all the members and disciples of Mingxin Palace responded in unison, their voices shaking the wilderness!
"Draw swords!" The Sword-holding Elder commanded.
Upon the command.
In Mingxin Palace, three thousand disciples looked up together, their facesโsome young, some oldโnot showing the slightest fear, and brow by brow revealed sword lights.
Boom!
A sense of despair surged into the hearts of each Mingxin Palace Disciple.
Right at that moment.
In the tea pavilion, the bare-chested man who had witnessed the entire scene slowly stood up, pulled out the Giant Sword from the ground, hoisted it on his shoulder, and started to walk outside. But after a few steps, he seemed to remember something, stopped, pulled out a Spirit Stone from his pocket, and tossed it back without looking.
"Old man, your tea money!"
The tea stall owner hurried to catch it, then said with a tremble, "Sir, this... this is too much!"
"The extra is to cover for the bowl and table your daughter just knocked over!"
Saying this, the bare-chested man stepped out of the tea pavilion, Giant Sword in hand, stomped his foot, and instantly soared into the sky, then roared loudly.
"Men of Jianzhou, those who wish to exterminate Demon Ghosts, rise!"
The roar reverberated across the wilderness and spread throughout the entire Jianzhou.
Then, the shouting voices came from all corners of Jianzhou.
"Zhanjian Tower is here!"
"Flaming Sword Sect is here!"
"..."
The shouts rose and ebbed, and Jianzhouโs land was covered with speckles of sword light, which then collectively ascended into the sky. The magnificence of the sword light illuminated heaven and earth.
The bare-chested man laughed heartily, "Good! This is the true nature of a Sword Cultivator, follow me forth!"
The bare-chested man pointed his Giant Sword diagonally and roared at the distant Empress.
"Kill!"
Upon saying that, he charged forward first, his eyes filled with an unflinching determination.
Behind him was an endless sea of sword light.
Seeing this, the Sword-holding Elder was first startled, then also burst into hearty laughter, "How grand we Sword Cultivators are! All of Mingxin Palace, shatter your Sword Hearts and follow me to exterminate this Demon Ghost!"
"Agreed!"
