"Retreat quickly!"
The cultivator in the middle stage of the Third Realm let out a loud roar.
In the first instant, he sensed the power contained within that thin scratch before him.
Even with his full effort, it was highly probable he wouldn't be able to block it!
However, as soon as these words left his mouth, the two Third Realm cultivators beside him, before they could even react in any way.
The thin scratch before them suddenly bloomed with dazzling brilliance!
The suppressed sword light finally erupted completely, and the sword intent within pressed down like a vast canopy.
In the vision of the three, it was as if a blue sky descended, and a pressure far heavier than mountains instantly enveloped them.
They could feel their physiques creaking under the strain, their resilient bones showing cracks, and their flesh and blood collapsing in waves.
Even the spiritual power within their bodies became sluggish under this canopy, no matter how they willed it, they could no longer mobilize a single bit.
A flash of light appeared in Ji Yuan's eyes. The Profound Heaven Sword Intent he comprehended was never focused on offense or sharpness.
Its greatest power lay in its ability to impose an irresistible, oppressive force upon the enemy through the majestic forces of heaven and earth.
It was as vast as the firmament, encompassing all things, yet possessed an unimaginable weight.
As the power within the thin scratch fully erupted, he suddenly pointed a sword finger, and immediately, a terrifying Dao principle emerged within that dazzling sword light!
Within the pure sword light, an aura that could destroy everything radiated outwards, precisely the destructive sword Dao he had comprehended!
Boom!!!
In an instant, the iron token, fully unleashed by the cultivator in the middle stage of the Third Realm, disintegrated under this destructive sword light!
No matter how the person urged it, pushing its multiple restrictions to their limit, they could not withstand it for even a moment against this destructive power!
"Full power!"
He quickly transmitted a message with his divine sense and then immediately unleashed all the spiritual power within his body!
Waves of potent spiritual power gushed out, transforming into shields or veils, overlapping one another before him in the shortest possible time.
The other two Third Realm cultivators beside him attacked with all their might, even going so far as to unleash several magical artifacts, sacrificing their origins to gain more power to command.
*Pfft!!!*
There was no violent roar, only a faint, almost imperceptible sound.
Both the heavy array of spells and the several high-quality magical artifacts silently annihilated themselves.
It was as if everything had never existed, as if it were all an illusion.
After more than ten breaths, as all the light dissipated, the figures of the three cultivators had vanished from mid-air. Only two Mountain River Bags, a storage artifact, and several items of unknown purpose fell.
Ji Yuan took a deep breath and quickly mobilized the spiritual power within his body, circulating the Profound Heaven Sword Art's cultivation method. Only then could he barely alleviate the immense burden that his physique had suffered from the previous blow.
Killing three Third Realm cultivators with a single sword, one of whom was in the middle stage, was clearly no simple feat.
This strike contained nearly half of his spiritual power, the Profound Heaven Sword Intent he had comprehended, the powerful destructive sword Dao, and the offensive techniques of the Profound Heaven Sword Art.
It could be said that with just one sword strike, he had unleashed all his strength. Even a cultivator in the late stage of the Third Realm could potentially be killed!
"You court death!"
Suddenly, a murderous intent flashed in Ji Yuan's eyes.
He waved his hand, unleashing spiritual power to collect the items left behind by the three Third Realm cultivators, and then his gaze fell upon the more than ten Second Realm cultivators behind them.
After witnessing the demise of their Dao Revelation Realm cultivators, these cultivators had not retreated a single step. Instead, they had joined forces to unleash spells or send forth spiritual power in a combined assault!
Clearly, their leader had also seen that Ji Yuan's single strike that killed three Dao Revelation Realm cultivators would also place a great burden on himself, perhaps even leaving him exhausted.
Therefore, at this moment, a fierce attack, gathering the strength of all the cultivators, was the optimal choice.
Perhaps by doing so, they could slay a powerful enemy and, furthermore, earn astonishing military achievements!
However, these individuals had underestimated Ji Yuan's strength.
Even though killing three Dao Revelation Realm cultivators in one strike would be a great burden to him, the cost was still bearable.
Even if one were to consider the worst-case scenario, in his current state, a mere dozen or so Second Realm cultivators attacking together could not possibly harm him in the slightest.
Thus, he merely swept out a sword, and all the spells before him were shattered. Several magical artifacts were sent flying, all sustaining varying degrees of damage.
"Since that is the case, then all of you shall remain here!"
Ji Yuan said coldly.
As soon as his words fell, a gleam of light flashed across his brow. In the void, imperceptible to ordinary people, a white jade flying sword traveled at extreme speed.
It was like a fish in water, swimming freely in the void, and in an instant, it appeared before a cultivator.
It did not even leave the void; merely a wisp of sword qi from its blade pierced the center of a Second Realm cultivator's brow, extinguishing all life force within their body.
Within mere breaths, seven or eight cultivators had fallen to the ground, their spiritual power dissipating, returning to the heavens and earth.
This bizarre scene naturally struck fear into the hearts of the remaining individuals. They could not see what was happening in the void, and thus did not know what had transpired, only seeing their comrades fall one after another.
It was unclear who started it, but someone turned and fled into the distance. The remaining cultivators immediately scattered, no longer considering whether this action constituted desertion or an attempt to gain immense military merit.
However, they had not retreated earlier and had instead attacked together, hoping to kill Ji Yuan while he was suffering the consequences, thereby earning astonishing military achievements.
Therefore, he would not show mercy now. He controlled his natal flying sword with his divine sense, and within seven or eight breaths, he had killed all the remaining Second Realm cultivators one by one.
A moment later, Ji Yuan retracted the flying sword into the Purple Mansion at his brow, allowing it to sink into the vast lake of sword qi, continuing to be tempered and refined.
He waved his hand, unleashing streams of spiritual power to collect the scattered magical artifacts and several Mountain River Bags.
Then, he raised his hand and looked into the distance. Under the enhancement of his Dharma Eye, he could see two to three li away, twenty to thirty cultivators rapidly approaching.
That group wore uniform attire and likely belonged to the Rebirth Tower. Each of them exuded a strong demonic aura or was enveloped by chilling, malevolent energy.
And the leader of these demons and monsters were five Third Realm cultivators emitting powerful auras!
Even from several li away, Ji Yuan could feel the ferocity of their aura, which was absolutely incomparable to the ordinary Third Realm cultivators he had just killed.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, to catch up with Elder Hong Tian and the others, his gaze suddenly narrowed, and he abruptly turned his head to look at a distant expanse of void.
Relying on the Profound Heaven Dao Scripture and the divine abilities of his natal flying sword, he acutely sensed an extremely subtle aura hidden within.
Ji Yuan pondered for a moment, then took a step forward, his physical body immediately merging into the void. Within two to three breaths, he had traveled dozens of feet and appeared before a youth.
Upon seeing someone suddenly appear before him, the youth immediately showed panic and, without thinking, attempted to turn and flee.
However, as soon as he turned, a hand seized the back of his neck, and spiritual power surged into his body, sealing all his power.
