Chapter 250: Slaying Dai Sheng, Second Style of the Divine Obscuration

"Who are you?" Dai Sheng asked in a hoarse voice.

At this moment, he felt some regret and even blamed himself, his unfilial son, and that clan elder. Why target this young man just to curry favor with the Yu Shen Sect and the Su family?

They had brought such a huge disaster upon the Dai Clan! Of course, he hated Wen Yong even more. If not for that arrogant vagrant, who had killed Dai Yingying, none of this would have happened.

By the end, Dai Sheng's face twisted with madness.

If he didn't kill this young man tonight, the Dai Clan would surely be doomed!

"Sword God Xu Yan!"

Xu Yan's gaze was cold and indifferent. In an instant, countless swords seemed to appear and merge into a flood, rushing to kill Dai Sheng.

This was the first time he had used this technique to transform all things into swords since breaking through to the Heart Sword Realm!

Boom!

Dai Sheng roared furiously, his blade light sweeping through as countless swords shattered. Step by step, he moved towards Xu Yan with killing intent.

However, the entire Dai Clan's land, the houses, and the vegetation, transformed into sharp swords, attacking him relentlessly. Dai Sheng's advancement was extremely slow.

He was even forced to retreat a few steps!

The hearts of the Dai Clan elders were on the verge of collapsing.

Meng Chong looked up, his heart shaken by what he saw. Was this the most basic sword path of the Heart Sword Realm?

Taking a deep breath, he smashed open another treasury of the Dai Clan with a loud crash. Yu Xiao Long rushed in once again.

The giant-like Meng Chong, clad in golden armor, filled the Dai Clan elders with despair. Especially now, with all the vegetation and buildings turning into swords, attacking Dai Sheng.

Dai Sheng was entangled and couldn't break free!

"My grandson is in danger!"

One of the Dai Clan elders cried out and turned to flee.

It seemed like the end for the Dai Clan!

In an instant, the Dai Clan elders scattered, each trying to preserve their own gains and find refuge with other influential families or spiritual sects. It seemed like the Dai Clan could no longer hold on.

Meng Chong rampaged, turning the Dai Clan's ancestral hall into ruins.

They found all the treasuries they were looking for, and Xiao Long devoured everything inside.

Dai Sheng had gone insane. He roared and continued to attack Xu Yan.

At this moment, the entire Dai Clan's land was almost bare.

The transformation of all things into swords had become sparse.

Swoosh!

Yu Xiao Long flew over and said, "It's about time. If we stay any longer, other powerful cultivators will arrive!"

"Alright!"

Meng Chong took a deep breath, and his six-foot golden body shrank back to its original size. He sheathed his sword.

Yu Xiao Long quickly slipped into his pocket.

Meng Chong inhaled deeply, his gaze icy as he looked at Dai Sheng. A domineering aura of a heavenly king's blade gathered, as if there were no other blades in the world but this one.

The second level of the Heavenly King's Blade!

The second level of the Overbearing Blade Intent!

The God-Slaying Chop had reached its peak.

Buzz!

In this instant, Dai Sheng's blade light stagnated, and he was horrified to discover that the blade in his hand seemed to be acting on its own.

He turned his head sharply and saw the bald, robust youth standing with his blade. In that moment, it seemed as if all the blades in the world were in his hand.

As if the blade ruled over everything!

In this instant, even he, a Refining God cultivator, felt an absurd sense of inability to strike.

"You!"

"I am Blade Master Meng Chong, and I shall cut you down!"

Meng Chong roared and slashed with his blade.

The God-Slaying Chop was overwhelmingly powerful, striking directly at the soul!

As Meng Chong made his move, Xu Yan also swung his sword.

The sword strike was formless, and there was no sharp sword light to be seen. However, in that instant, Dai Sheng suddenly screamed in agony!

While defending against the God-Slaying Chop, his soul was unable to withstand Xu Yan's strike!

Whether it was Meng Chong or Xu Yan, their attacks were aimed at the soul!

Especially Xu Yan's sword, after it was unleashed, it was like a bone-boring maggot, creeping along the soul force and reaching the very source of Dai Sheng's soul.

Boom!

Within Dai Sheng's soul, he suddenly saw a gale force, a sword intent whirlwind, tearing his soul to shreds.

The intense pain in his soul made Dai Sheng scream. The blade in his hand lost control, and he was unable to launch any attacks.

Escape!

He must escape!

Deep within his consciousness, the strong desire to flee caused his body to levitate as he tried to escape.

This was a self-preservation reaction born from countless battles and the sense of impending death.

Swoosh!

Xu Yan shifted his position, instantly blocking Dai Sheng's escape route.

Dai Sheng wanted to attack, but his soul felt like it was exploding, stirring chaotically. The pain was so intense that he couldn't launch any attacks.

Buzz!

Xu Yan struck again with his sword. "This sword is called the Xun Mie Sword. You are the first to die by it. It is an honor for you!"

The Xun Mie Sword of the Mountain and River Sword Path!

Boom!

"Ah!"

Dai Sheng covered his head with his hands. In his consciousness, it felt like a cluster of sword lights was stirring, tearing his soul apart.

Xu Yan struck again with his sword.

Puff!

Dai Sheng's physical body was split in two, and his storage bag fell to the ground. Xu Yan reached out and caught the bag.

Meng Chong slashed with his blade, turning Dai Sheng's corpse into ashes in an instant.

However, Dai Sheng's soul was still screaming, slowly crumbling away.

Meng Chong's God-Slaying Chop twisted and shredded the soul force.

A gentle breeze swept through, leaving no trace of soul force behind. Dai Sheng was annihilated!

Normally, with Dai Sheng's strength, even if Xu Yan had comprehended the Xun Mie Sword, it would have been difficult to injure his soul. However, Meng Chong's God-Slaying Chop had distracted his soul's defenses.

The soul force that was barely holding off the Xun Mie Sword was further divided, and in that moment, Xu Yan seized the opportunity to strike Dai Sheng's soul.

Without any soul defense techniques and relying solely on soul force to resist, how could he withstand a martial soul technique aimed directly at the soul? As soon as the soul was injured, intense pain followed.

All his ability to react had become dull.

His fate was sealed.

Yu Xiao Long swallowed his saliva. These two master and disciple were truly ruthless.

Together, they had slain Dai Sheng!

The Dai Clan was finished!

A second-rate influential family had been destroyed just like that!

"There's going to be a change in the Yu State. Those third-rate influential families and spiritual sects will be uneasy and will likely lie low for a while. Maybe the life of vagrant cultivators will get better?"

"However, the Yu Shen Sect and the Su family will probably mobilize all their forces to destroy Xu Yan."

Yu Xiao Long's heart trembled at the thought.

But then he remembered Xu Yan and Meng Chong's mysterious master, who had casually slapped a Refining God cultivator to death. They had no fear of the Yu Shen Sect or the Su family.

What they needed to worry about was attracting the attention of top spiritual sects and influential families, or even super sects, who might take action to eliminate this threatening vagrant cultivator and prevent another Blood Devil calamity.

"Let's go!"

After slaying Dai Sheng, the Dai Clan's land had been completely reduced to ruins.

As for the members of the Dai Clan, they had already fled in terror.

All the treasuries they could find had been emptied, and the powerful cultivators from other spiritual sects and influential families, especially the Yu Shen Sect and the Su family, were probably on their way.

Once they were surrounded, it would be dangerous.

Xu Yan and Meng Chong concealed their auras and altered their appearances before leaving instantly. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the night.

Not long after they left, several figures suddenly appeared.

Looking at the now-empty land of the Dai Clan, they were shocked. How long had it been? The Dai Clan had been completely destroyed.

A Refining God cultivator asked with a grave expression.

Dai Sheng was no weakling; his strength was at least on par with this cultivator. If someone could kill Dai Sheng, they could just as easily kill him!

"Could it be that young man?"

Another Refining God cultivator asked in a low voice.

Among the group of Refining God cultivators, two of them had especially gloomy expressions—they were the cultivators from the Yu Shen Sect and the Su family.

Not long ago, the two Refining God cultivators who had learned about Xu Yan's whereabouts had disappeared without a trace, presumably having met their demise.

Now, the Dai Clan had been obliterated. In just a short span of time, a second-rate influential family had been eradicated from Yu State.

Ever since the Blood Devil calamity ten thousand years ago, no influential family had been destroyed. The Dai Clan was the first to meet such a fate.

At this moment, the Refining God cultivators present wore solemn expressions.

Soon, the group of cultivators found and interrogated the fleeing elders of the Dai Clan, and their faces paled with shock at what they heard.

The cultivators from the Yu Shen Sect and the Su family were particularly unnerved!

What a huge hidden danger!

"Sword God Xu Yan? Where did he come from?"

"Blade Master Meng Chong?"

"A six-foot golden giant?"

One after another, the revelations struck fear into the hearts of the Refining God cultivators.

Two of them remained silent and quietly left the group.

This matter was too dangerous to get involved with!

They knew their strengths might not surpass Dai Sheng's, and if they were killed, their families would be removed from the ranks of influential families.

After all, their families were only third-rate.

News of the Dai Clan's destruction spread quickly throughout the martial arts world of Yu State, like a giant stone dropped into a calm lake, creating ripples.

The name Sword God Xu Yan also reverberated throughout Yu State in that instant.

So did the names of the six-foot golden giant and Blade Master Meng Chong.

The Yu Shen Sect and the Su family began discussing how to eradicate the threat posed by Xu Yan.

The remaining spiritual sects and influential families in Yu State assessed how to respond to this development. The second and third-rate influential families and spiritual sects initially decided to avoid offending Xu Yan.

If even the Yu Shen Sect and the Su family couldn't suppress him, they would undoubtedly be in danger.

"Where did this formidable person come from? Could he be a peerless genius secretly cultivated by our Alliance, sent to Yu State to prepare for the Alliance's rise?"

In the secret Yu State headquarters of the Ten Thousand Worlds Alliance, the Alliance Master was shocked.

Too formidable!

Reducing a second-rate influential family to a third-rate one was already impressive enough.

But in such a short time, he had completely obliterated the Dai Clan!

Killing a Refining God cultivator, Dai Sheng!

The left and right guardians of the Yu State branch of the Ten Thousand Worlds Alliance were also astonished. "Alliance Master, we must make contact with this Xu Yan. Regardless of whether he is a strong cultivator secretly cultivated by our Alliance or not, since he is a vagrant cultivator, he shares the same interests as us.

"By annihilating an influential family, he has already put himself in opposition to the spiritual sects and influential families.

"Our Alliance is his best bet for survival, and if necessary, we can find a way to protect him from the strong cultivators of the Yu Shen Sect and the Su family!"

The Alliance Master took a deep breath and said, "That is natural. However, the strength of that cultivator from the Yu Shen Sect is too formidable. If he takes action, I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat him alone."

The Yu Shen Sect was the only force in Yu State that could be considered a first-rate spiritual sect.

This was due to the strength of the Yu Shen Sect's Great Elder, a late-stage Refining God cultivator, who was also currently the strongest cultivator in Yu State.

"There will be turmoil in Yu State. We should invite a senior from the Alliance headquarters to come and preside over Yu State," the left guardian said solemnly.

"Let's see if the headquarters can spare a strong cultivator," the Alliance Master nodded.

...

In the courtyard at the end of Nanfang Street in the capital city of Zhenguo, where Fang Hao resided.

At this moment, Fang Hao's courtyard was littered with failed artifacts.

There were knives, swords, spears, and even humanoid puppets.

"Why can't I forge it successfully?"

Fang Hao's hair was in disarray as he tugged at his hair with one hand and held a formation chart in the other, deep in thought.

Three days had passed.

"I might be forging in the wrong direction. Although the formation chart is connected, it doesn't necessarily mean that the complete formation needs to be refined into a single artifact.

"I can separate the formation chart and refine different parts of it into different artifacts, and then combine them later."

Fang Hao's eyes lit up as he continued to study the formation chart. "This part of the formation chart can exist independently, and so can this part.

"And here lies the core of the formation."

After figuring out the method, Fang Hao was once again filled with enthusiasm and began forging the artifacts.

"Knives, swords, and puppets aren't suitable. Since the formation chart is circular, I'll use round mirrors as the base for the artifacts."

Fang Hao started forging the first round mirror.

Li Xuan quietly watched Fang Hao's forging process and nodded inwardly. Fang Hao's chances of successfully forging the formation plate were quite high.

In such a short time, he had managed to separate the formation chart and was close to understanding how to set up the formation and operate the formation technique.

"In a few more days, there should be results!"

Li Xuan thought to himself.

If it took too long and Fang Hao still couldn't forge the formation plate, it would mean that his comprehension and talent fell a bit short.

Without waiting any longer, Li Xuan turned around and returned to the manor.

As soon as he sat down, the golden book of the Dao appeared in his spiritual platform, emitting golden light.

"Could it be that Fang Hao has successfully forged the formation plate?"

Li Xuan's first thought was of Fang Hao.

"Your disciple Meng Chong killed a Great Heavenly Being, and your combat experience has increased."

However, the feedback from the golden book of the Dao was about Meng Chong killing Great Heavenly Beings, and there were several such feedbacks.

"What is Meng Chong up to? Why did he suddenly kill so many Great Heavenly Beings?"

Li Xuan was perplexed. Could Meng Chong have wiped out some powerful force?

Before long, the golden book of the Dao provided more feedback.

"Your disciple Xu Yan comprehended the Xun Mie Sword, and your Xun Mie Sword has reached perfection."

The Xun Mie Sword, a soul-killing sword!

"Xu Yan's Mountain and River Sword Dao is becoming more and more powerful."

Li Xuan marveled inwardly.

"Your disciples Xu Yan and Meng Chong killed a Refining God cultivator, and you have gained the second style of the Divine Obscuration!"

Li Xuan smacked his lips. Killing a Refining God cultivator was indeed shocking, even if it was a joint effort.

"Did they go to take revenge on the Yu Shen Sect or the Su family?"

Xu Yan was being pursued by the Yu Shen Sect and the Su family, and enmity had already been established. Xu Yan was not one to endure silently, and neither was Meng Chong.

So, it wasn't impossible for the master and disciple duo to join forces to attack the strong cultivators of the Yu Shen Sect and the Su family.

"No, it's probably the Dai Clan!"

Li Xuan suddenly thought of the Dai Clan. Xu Yan had already killed a Refining God cultivator from the Dai Clan, and now they must have killed the other one—Dai Sheng!

Since Dai Sheng had pursued Xu Yan, he was most likely the first target.

Moreover, the Dai Clan was relatively weak.

"Did they wipe out the entire Dai Clan?"

Li Xuan wondered. The treasures of an influential family would undoubtedly be abundant, and Xu Yan and Meng Chong were about to strike it rich.

"Now, they won't lack resources. Even if it's for Fang Hao's cultivation of the exotic martial way, they won't be lacking," Li Xuan mused.
