Chapter 76: Moon Maiden Wields the Sword, Slaying a Thousand Troops in the Snowstorm!

Instant Kill!

Yes, another instant kill!

Facing a Wang-level opponent, Qi Yuan effortlessly dispatches them.

Even against Huang-level foes, Qi Yuan remains unbeatable.

In fact, he didn't even stand up, still seated on the green stone.

With a casual wave of his hand, seven sovereigns fell to the ground, lifeless.

What realm of power is this? Could he truly be the Supreme Overlord?

On the balcony, Leng Yue's face was filled with astonishment, and the black-veiled woman beside her was equally stunned.

Qi Yuan held a bowl of fish soup, saying, "Drink it quickly. If the scent of blood reaches here, it won't be good."

As he spoke, he slowly savored the fish soup.

"The taste is almost as good as my junior sister's spirit fish soup," he praised.

Leng Yue's face lit up with a sweet smile, and the crescent moon in her eyes transformed into a full moon.

But then, as if remembering something, the little girl took off running towards the seven corpses, wanting to retrieve Qi Yuan's sword.

Qi Yuan, seeing this, laughed.

"No need to pick it up. The sword remains where it was thrust.

Whoever dares to pass this sword, shall be slain!" Qi Yuan declared with a hearty laugh.

In reality, he was timid and meek, trembling at the thought of facing a Black Mountain Sect member, unable to sleep at night.

But in the game, he could afford to be more audacious, striking with full force.

Otherwise, if he kept playing it safe, he might become a laughingstock.

On the balcony, Leng Yue watched this scene, her eyes filled with admiration and longing.

"This is the Sword God!" she exclaimed.

The black-veiled woman, equally excited, added, "The Faceless Sword God, he must have come from the Forbidden Zone!"

...

At the Hundred Cities Alliance headquarters, a portly man, seated in a high position, wore a broad smile.

"The Moon Emperor Clan of the July Branch, what do you all think?" he asked.

In the grand hall, over twenty Supreme Overlords were gathered.

"What's there to think about? We can annihilate them in an instant!" one of the Supreme Overlords spoke, his voice deep and resonant like a bell.

"In the South, only these barbarians remain in resistance. Once they're eliminated, the entire South will be in our hands," a female Supreme Overlord added, her voice ethereal.

At that moment, a small, wiry old man spoke up, "I've heard that a Supreme Overlord has appeared near July Lake, with immense power. He slew seven of our Hundred Cities Alliance's Supreme Overlords with a single sword strike. We must be cautious."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted.

"No matter how powerful the Faceless Sword God is, can he defeat the twenty-five of us?

Can he defeat our three thousand Iron Buddhas?" the elderly man asked.

"Yes, there's no need to bother that person for such matters.

We have three thousand Iron Buddhas, all of them martial artists, and with us here, how can we not defeat the Faceless Sword God?"

The others murmured in agreement, nodding along.

They were seasoned and cunning, well aware of the Faceless Sword God's formidable power.

They feared the Faceless Sword God, but they feared the Black-Robed Guards even more.

When the Black-Robed Guards appeared, not only did they kill their enemies, but they also devoured their own allies!

To them, everyone was equal.

Even they themselves could be devoured, leaving only their human skin behind.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, they dared not summon the Black-Robed Guards.

"Since it's like this, let's settle this matter. Ten days from now,

We will take action. Our three thousand Iron Buddhas will crush the Moon Emperor Clan!

Their two Sacred Maidens must be captured and offered as a sacrifice... to the heavens!" the portly man, resembling a smiling Buddha, set the tone, finalizing the plan.

...

After slaying those seven Huang-level experts, no one from the Hundred Cities Alliance dared to approach again.

Qi Yuan continued to sit on the green stone by July Lake every day.

The little girl, Moon Maiden, sat quietly beside Qi Yuan, gazing at the snowy landscape.

The two of them, like a pair of snowmen.

This time, Qi Yuan's enthusiasm burned like fire, warming Moon Maiden.

Sitting by Qi Yuan's side, the little girl didn't feel cold.

During this time, Leng Yue, the next in line to become the July Priestess, came to visit Qi Yuan. She informed him of the Hundred Cities Alliance's impending large-scale attack.

She advised Qi Yuan to take the Sacred Maiden and leave.

Qi Yuan, looking at Leng Yue, said, "I'm here with the Sacred Maiden, enjoying the snow."

to strike down the Faceless Sword God, even if it means sacrificing ourselves!" the elderly man spoke with determination.

"Agreed. We will personally lead the three thousand Iron Buddhas and annihilate the Moon Emperor Clan!"

The others nodded in agreement.

Leng Yue, having witnessed Qi Yuan's power, felt a mix of admiration and apprehension.

She knew that Qi Yuan was no ordinary person.

"I can only protect you for a month," Qi Yuan said.

Or rather, in less than a month, he would leave and truly face the extra-terrestrial demons.

Moon Maiden's eyes gleamed with determination.

Qi Yuan continued, "If you don't want to die, you have to become stronger and protect yourself."

"During this time, I'll occasionally guide you. How much you can comprehend is up to your luck."

Upon hearing this, Moon Maiden's face lit up with excitement, and she nodded vigorously.

Qi Yuan smiled and said, "Honoring the elderly but not cherishing the young is not commendable. The extra-terrestrial demons are wrong."

...

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Contrary to expectations, the snow didn't diminish; instead, it fell more heavily, blanketing the ancient Ji Chun Tree in a thick layer of white.

A thick layer of ice formed on July Lake.

Qi Yuan sat alone on the lakeshore.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently, like the beating of a heavy drum on one's heart.

The ice on the lake trembled, as if the vibrations would shatter it.

Moon Maiden rushed out of the wooden house, wearing a thin dress, her face showing a hint of anxiety.

Qi Yuan looked into the distance, where the vast snow was stirred up by giant footsteps, creating a flurry of snowflakes. Behind this, numerous stout and robust figures were advancing, their low roars carrying through the air.

Three thousand tall and mighty iron soldiers, clad in heavy armor, were steadily approaching July Lake.

This was the Iron Pagoda of the Hundred Cities Alliance.

Among the three thousand robust and formidable Iron Pagodas, each was a martial artist.

Their strongest warriors carried over twenty palanquins.

Seated in each palanquin was a Supreme Overlord.

At this moment, the Supreme Overlords reclined lazily in their palanquins, exuding a carefree demeanor.

The fat man with a smiling Buddha-like face was filled with laughter, his chubby cheeks overflowing with mirth: "Don't underestimate the enemy. Let's suppress them together."

"Rest assured, Fat Overlord. Having survived this long, how could we be careless?"

"By offering the Sacred Maiden to the heavens, we should be able to secure ten years of peace."

"Isn't there another Sacred Maiden?"

"Let's capture this one first, then worry about the second!"

With just a few words, the fate of the Moon Maiden was decided by these Supreme Overlords.

In contrast, Qi Yuan remained seated on the green stone by July Lake.

He glanced at the Moon Maiden and asked, "Are you afraid?"

The Moon Maiden looked at the formidable army and shook her head.

"Go and draw my sword, then hold it in your arms," Qi Yuan instructed.

The Moon Maiden's eyes hardened with determination.

In the distance, the massive army advanced, flattening the snow on the ground and sending it flying.

The petite figure of the Moon Maiden slowly approached the longsword a hundred meters away.

Alone, she braved the wind and snow, leaving a trail of evenly spaced footprints in the snow.

From the palanquin, a woman's playful smile emerged: "What's she doing? Is she seeking death?"

The smiling fat man's laughter froze: "Looks like another ignorant fool!"

Since the appearance of the Black Robe Watchmen in the mortal realm, these Supreme Overlords were the strongest in this world.

As for those of even higher realms, if they were to manifest in the mortal realm, they would be hooked by the fishing line hanging from the heavens, leaving only their skin behind.

With twenty-five Supreme Overlords and three thousand Iron Pagodas, what was there to fear?

The snow was thick and deep.

The Moon Maiden reached the sword that was thrust into the ground. She extended her fair hand and pulled the sword out with all her might.

She held the sword, nearly as tall as herself, in the midst of the snowstorm, her eyes fixed on the distant Iron Pagodas, her gaze unwavering.

The ground-shaking rumble intensified.

The snow around the Moon Maiden seemed to be shaken off, and the snow on the trees fell in a flurry.

The little girl held the longsword, gazing at the approaching Iron Pagodas, and shouted with all her might: "Those who cross this sword will be killed without mercy!"

Her voice was drowned out by the marching of the three thousand Iron Pagodas.

...

The Supreme Overlords, and even the Overlords, heard the little girl's words.

Some laughed, while others mocked.

The Fat Overlord was stunned, then said, "Even the Heavenly Realm wouldn't dare speak such words."

"That Faceless One must be afraid, deceiving the Sacred Maiden!"

"I laugh at the Sacred Maiden's lack of wisdom and face."

The Overlords laughed and joked.

In the distance, Cold Moon, standing on the branches of the Ancient Ji Chun Tree, witnessed this scene, and a hint of despair flashed in her eyes.

"Sacred Maiden, I'm sorry," she thought.

She guessed that the Faceless One was still afraid, and it saddened her.

Meanwhile, the army continued its advance without stopping.

"Iron Pagodas, attack!"

At this command, the three thousand Iron Pagodas surged forward like mighty elephants.

The Moon Maiden held the sword, her vision obscured by the snowflakes. Facing the charging Iron Pagodas, her slender legs stood firm: "Those who cross this sword will be killed!"

As her clear and pleasant voice rang out, the sword suddenly left its sheath.

In that instant, a blood-red aura filled the air.

Blood energy surged, like a grandmaster of the demonic path.

The sword flew through the air, its blood energy overwhelming the swirling snow.

Suddenly, the sword transformed into a blood-red serpent dragon and charged into the midst of the three thousand Iron Pagodas.

The blood-red serpent dragon rampaged, crashing into the Iron Pagodas. Hundreds of Iron Pagodas were sent flying, their bones shattered, and their internal organs pulverized.

"Ah!"

"No!"

"Devil!"

The three thousand invincible Iron Pagodas were no match for the blood-red serpent dragon. In an instant, they were decimated.

Many Iron Pagodas cried out in despair, screaming and fleeing.

The once-mighty army had lost its former grandeur.

The sword, like a blood-red serpent dragon, split into multiple beams of light, reaping countless lives.

In a matter of breaths, the three thousand Iron Pagodas were annihilated.

On the lakeshore, the Faceless One sitting on the green stone hadn't even glanced at the battlefield. He took a sip of his drink and asked, "How much of the game version of the brilliant sword technique have you learned in these past few days?"

The Moon Maiden's eyes, once like moons, now glowed red, and her eyes were bloodshot: "I've learned three-tenths."

At this moment, the twenty-five Supreme Overlords in the palanquins were all shocked, their eyes filled with awe.

In this world, how could there be such a powerful being?

In this world, how could there be such a sword!

With one strike, a blood-red serpent dragon emerged, annihilating three thousand iron pagodas!

On the shores of July Lake, Qi Yuan heard Yue Nu's words and revealed a satisfied expression, "Not bad talent. The remaining NPCs should be enough for you to learn seven or eight skills, right?"

As Qi Yuan spoke, the blood-red serpent dragon-like longsword seemed to have a sense of awareness, charging straight towards the twenty-five Supreme Overlords!

The twenty-five Supreme Overlords were all terrified.

What they saw was not a sword but a blood-red evil dragon that had slaughtered millions of creatures.

"No!" The beautiful female Supreme Overlord, adorned in a colorful feather robe, was grazed by the blood light, and half of her body was sliced off. The remaining flesh quickly withered, but her blood was still boiling.

"Devil!"

The other Supreme Overlords, upon witnessing this, dared not engage in battle.

They had survived until now not because of their strength or bravery but because they were good at playing it safe and shameless.

Unfortunately, the blood-red serpent dragon-like sword showed them no mercy.

Streaks of blood light, like rays from a blood moon, struck down one Supreme Overlord after another.

"No!"

Screams and pleas for mercy were drowned out by the wind and snow.

All twenty-five Supreme Overlords were slaughtered one by one.

The final blow from the sword pierced the fat emperor's corpulent body.

The fat emperor lay on the ground, his eyes clouded, but a smile remained on his face, "Black Robe Watchmen... Extraterrestrial Celestial Deity, you won't get away with this."

With his last breath, he died.

At that moment, the blood-red serpent dragon-like sword flew back to Qi Yuan's side and fell into the lake.

Under the branches of the ancient Ji Chun Tree, Leng Yue was stunned beyond words.

This... This... It's beyond the level of a Supreme Overlord!

Such power!

The veiled woman was also incredibly excited, murmuring, "Master!"

On the shores of July Lake, Yue Nu, holding the sword sheath, approached Qi Yuan.

The sword swam in the lake, washing away the filthy blood on its blade before returning to its sheath.

Qi Yuan looked at Yue Nu, a smile on his face, "This is my first time facing so many enemies. Share your thoughts."

Yue Nu's face lit up with excitement, "Very strong, very strong."

She was referring to Qi Yuan.

"Now it's my turn to share my thoughts," Qi Yuan said.

It seemed that he had asked Yue Nu that question just to say these words.

Yue Nu looked up at Qi Yuan with a serious expression.

Qi Yuan spoke with disdain, "I haven't fought such low-level monsters in a long time.

Monsters of this level shouldn't even appear on my map.

After entering the Five Elements Forbidden Zone, the Yin-Yang Prohibition, and the Heavenly Forbidden Zone, especially the steps beyond the Heavenly Forbidden Zone, Qi Yuan's opponents were formidable. In the Celestial Realm, there were thousands upon hundreds.

Even the Divine Realm was no big deal.

This time, three thousand came at once.

These three thousand iron pagodas and twenty-five Supreme Overlords were nothing more than common monsters.

"I'm going to fight some higher-level monsters. Do you want to come and take a look?" Qi Yuan looked at Yue Nu, speaking earnestly.

Yue Nu nodded, her face filled with determination.

Qi Yuan took Yue Nu's hand, "Let's go and see if the legendary Black Robe Watchmen are considered elite monsters."

How could a player like him sit in one place like an NPC, waiting for enemies to come and challenge him? Taking the initiative is his style.

At July Lake, he had found his answer.

It was time for him to face the world's final boss and gather the fragments of the Heavenly Decree.

But before that, he had to deal with the Black Robe Watchmen, who were wreaking havoc in the mortal realm.

Qi Yuan couldn't tolerate even these small monsters acting so arrogantly.

Holding Yue Nu's hand, the two disappeared into the vast snowstorm.

...

Hundred Cities Alliance.

A Ten Thousand Tombs Cave.

White bones and decaying corpses were everywhere.

There was plenty of flesh and blood, but no vultures or wild wolves in sight.

The place was eerily quiet.

This was the Hundred Cities Alliance's most core forbidden zone.

It was also the most terrifying place.

No martial artist dared to venture here.

Even Supreme Overlords, upon catching a glimpse of the Ten Thousand Tombs Cave from afar, would be filled with fear and trembling, gripped by an inexplicable terror.

At that moment, a faceless man, leading a seven or eight-year-old girl, stepped into this place.

The cave was silent, devoid of any sound.

The faceless man's eyes showed no emotion, "This map... is really terrible. It can't even compare to a single hair of the Four Forbidden Zones."

The faceless man was Qi Yuan, and he, along with Yue Nu, had slaughtered the Hundred Cities Alliance.

Royal-ranked, Imperial-ranked, and Supreme Overlords were all just common soldiers, not worth Qi Yuan's sword.

He was a godslayer, and he massacred the Hundred Cities Alliance, turning the place into a river of blood.

Now, he had finally arrived at the Black Robe Watchmen's lair, a place that struck fear into the hearts of all who heard its name.

Holding his sword, Qi Yuan spoke lightly, "I'm here to clear the dungeon."

As his words fell, a massive blood-red treasure sword charged into the Ten Thousand Tombs Cave.

At that moment, countless Black Robe Watchmen flew out from the cave, like bats emerging from their lair.

Qi Yuan looked at these Black Robe Watchmen, a complex expression flashing in his eyes, "Extraterrestrial Demons, you're truly a psychopath.

You devour flesh and blood, and now you're making robes from human skin.

You, as a big boss, will probably never leave the hospital.

Oh, no, you'll probably die in a mental hospital."

As Qi Yuan's words fell, his sword charged towards the Black Robe Watchmen.

Blood light filled the air, and slaughter reigned.

The sword reaped one Black Robe Watchman after another.

People saw the Black Robe Watchmen as ghosts?

No, Qi Yuan was the real ghost.

Holding Yue Nu's hand, he spoke softly, "How much have you learned?"

"Ninety percent."

"Soon, when it's a hundred percent, I'll be gone."

Yue Nu held Qi Yuan's hand tighter.
