Chapter 4: General of the Underworld

The Daybreak Sword Art was currently the strongest sword technique Ye Yunxiao had obtained from the Heaven-Piercing Battle Arts system, and the strongest one he could execute at his current cultivation level!

A high-grade Earth-rank sword technique!

This sword strike contained terrifying power, and even the red-haired old demon sensed danger from it!

“Heh, how laughable. This move of mine is a low-grade Mystic-rank super martial technique!”

“With just one sword, you think you can…”

How was this possible!

One Sword Divides Clearly directly split the hideously grinning red skull into two halves!

That red skull hadn’t even shown its power before it was dispersed just like that?

Ye Yunxiao sneered. Everyone said sword cultivators were nearly invincible among those of the same level!

But who knew that among sword cultivators, he was invincible at the same level!

Having split the red skull with one sword, the sword’s power was still rapidly advancing forward! Soon it rushed before the red-haired old demon.

After only a brief moment of shock, the red-haired old demon quickly took a staff from his side.

A faint red light flashed on the staff as he used it to block the sword light.

Boom!

This strike landed solidly on the red-haired old demon, but it did not cause the slightest injury.

“Your strength is decent, but you’re still no match for this demon! The power of a late-stage Mortal Transcendence demon cultivator is not something a brat like you can handle!”

The red-haired old demon chanted softly, his hands gradually rising, accompanied by billowing demonic qi surging upward. Countless resentful auras gathered on his body, then erupted.

“Annoying!”

Ye Yunxiao glanced at the red-haired old demon, yawned, and seeing that the other’s skill seemed to be in the middle of casting, he softly said to A’Zhan: “A’Zhan, shall we end this quickly?”

“I was just thinking the same!”

A’Zhan’s voice rang out in Ye Yunxiao’s mind.

“Since that’s the case! Then let’s merge!”

“System Merge! Battle Form!”

“Since returning to the Yunlan Sword Sect, you haven’t used my power for a whole month! I really miss the times when we fought together!”

“Let the demon descend upon the world!”

A’Zhan shouted madly. As a battle system, his duty was to fight!

Deng!

A low rumble emanated from Ye Yunxiao’s body, and soon waves of battle intent rose within him. This power quickly covered his entire body.

Finally, a black-and-white aura settled on his face!

Accompanying this, Ye Yunxiao’s strength had gradually broken through to the next level after the Mortal Transcendence realm!

The early stage of the Spirit Refining realm!

Billowing battle intent filled the entire world. This scene caused the red-haired old demon, who was preparing to unleash his ultimate move, to suddenly change expression! Soon, he seemed to have thought of something.

Even the movements of his hands became sluggish, and soon his gaze was fixed deathly on the mask on Ye Yunxiao’s face!

“The black-and-white mask!”

“You! You! You’re the General of the Underworld!”

The red-haired old demon could hardly believe it. He had heard of the General of the Underworld’s name. Rumor had it that the General of the Underworld ranked fourteenth on the righteous path’s Demon Execution List, Mystic Rank!

At the same time, he also ranked first on the demonic path’s Immortal Slaying List, Mystic Rank!

Because this guy killed martial artists from both the righteous and demonic paths! But compared to the righteous path, he killed slightly more from the demonic path. In fact, a month and a half ago, this person had single-handedly charged into a fourth-class demonic sect!

One man slaughtered an entire sect!

And the strongest in that sect was at the early stage of the Spirit Refining realm! His strength had been more than ten times greater than his own!

The reason he recognized Ye Yunxiao’s identity in an instant was that the black-and-white mask was the General of the Underworld’s symbol!

“Impossible! How could you be the General of the Underworld? That guy is both righteous and evil—he couldn’t possibly survive in a righteous sect like the Yunlan Sword Sect! You—you’re not a disciple of the Yunlan Sword Sect!”

“Old demon! You’re really annoying! I’ll give you half a minute to unleash your move! One more word of nonsense, and I’ll execute you by slow slicing!”

After the system merge, Ye Yunxiao’s voice was dual-toned!

One was Ye Yunxiao’s own voice, and the other was the system A’Zhan’s voice!

But compared to Ye Yunxiao, A’Zhan’s voice had not yet lost its mechanical quality. When he spoke now, it still carried a kind of forceful, penetrating, almost icy tone!

The Yunxiao Sword in his hand was swallowed by a mass of black-and-white flame.

Then the flame seemed to make the Yunxiao Sword its own body. On the entire blade, one edge was black, and the other half was white!

The General of the Underworld!

Had always been half black, half white!

“General of the Underworld, I didn’t mean to appear before you. This humble one failed to recognize Mount Tai, please…”

Before he could finish speaking, he felt as if a sharp sword were hanging above his head.

A’Zhan was furious at this moment and cursed at the red-haired old demon: “I already said it! One more word! I’ll execute you by slow slicing!”

“I gave you a chance!”

Ye Yunxiao’s and A’Zhan’s voices sounded at the same time. The black-and-white Yunxiao Sword in his hand surged with two flames of completely different energies!

In an instant, it devoured the entire space.

“Daybreak Sword Art! Third Form: Dust!”

A month ago, when Ye Yunxiao was only at the early stage of Mortal Transcendence, merging with the system had already allowed him to kill a Spirit Refining realm expert. A month later, Ye Yunxiao’s cultivation had broken through a small tier!

Even a mid-stage Spirit Refining realm expert was no challenge for him!
