After finishing his tea, Chu Ming left some money for the tea and exited the teahouse. He mounted his horse, gave it a nudge with his knees, and they galloped away.

Although the teahouse guests noticed Chu Ming’s Cyan Yang Sect attire, they didn’t say anything. After all, Chu Ming wasn’t yet famous in the martial world, so no one recognized him.

.....

Just as the teahouse guest had mentioned, the closer Chu Ming got to Cyan Yang Sect, the more frequent the beast tides became. In some towns, when Chu Ming passed through, the entire town was already deserted and barren, while a heavy, bloody aura lingered above, filled with resentment.

Along the way, Chu Ming also saw countless ordinary people migrating towards big cities. After all, the martial artists in big cities generally had higher prowess, and their defenses were sturdier. However, the consequence of this was that some big cities were already overcrowded, with even the roads packed with people. Even the City Lord couldn’t do anything about this situation.

As Blue Star Horse galloped, Chu Ming could see from a distance a massive cloud of dust approaching from his left side.

Upon looking up, Chu Ming’s eyes narrowed slightly. He saw five or six sect disciples escorting more than a hundred ordinary people as they hurried along. Behind them, countless demon beasts were in pursuit, including Two-headed Demon Wolves, Shadow Wolves, Ghost-faced Rhinoceroses, Ironcrown Snakes... the sight was endless. The nearest city was over a hundred li away. The sect disciples alone could leave without any problem, but protecting over a hundred ordinary people increased the difficulty by five or six times.

Furthermore, although the sect disciples’ clothing was tattered, Chu Ming could still vaguely recognize Cyan Yang Sect attire. Among them, Chu Ming spotted a familiar figure, Li An, who was now covered in blood.

Without any hesitation, Chu Ming immediately sped towards them on his Blue Star Horse. Midway, he leapt from the horse, using the force to propel himself into the air. A burst of Sword Force erupted, transforming into thousands of streaks of Sword Aura, instantly slaughtering the surrounding demon beasts. These pursuing beasts were all First and Second Level demon beasts, with Third Level ones being very rare. Otherwise, the Inner Sect Disciples wouldn’t have been able to hold out for this long.

When Chu Ming landed, he was already beside Li An. Li An smashed the head of a nearby demon beast and turned to see Chu Ming.

"Chu Ming, what are you doing here?" Li An’s instinctive reaction was to keep attacking incessantly. Though talking to Chu Ming, his hands didn’t slow down, each palm strike roaring through the air, ensuring the death of a demon beast.

"Don’t worry about this side, leave it to me. You go help on the other side!" Chu Ming said calmly. Li An, who hadn’t seen him for a month, was now a Second Layer Transcendence martial artist. Though they were at the same realm, Li An’s strength was far behind Chu Ming’s.

"Alright, be careful!" Li An knew they were still in danger and couldn’t get distracted. He nodded, his body flickering into a wisp of smoke, reappearing twenty meters away beside a pale-faced man.

While attacking, Chu Ming kept an eye on the other Cyan Yang Sect disciples. Besides Li An, there were four more Cyan Yang Sect disciples, and Chu Ming’s presence undoubtedly eased their burden, providing much-needed relief.

"Rainfall Fall!"

The surroundings suddenly darkened. Streaks of Sword Light shattered like illusions, the air heavy with water vapor, as if raindrops were condensing around Chu Ming.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Now that Chu Ming was at the Second Layer of the Transcendence Realm and had cultivated Cyan Yuan Technique to the Sixth Layer, the spiritual power within him was comparable to a Sixth Layer Transcendence sect disciple, both in quality and quantity. Using Rainfall Fall consumed only a negligible amount of spiritual power, which he could easily replenish with a slight circulation of his cultivation technique.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Raindrops fell like life-taking talismans on these demon beasts, instantly killing all the beasts within a radius of twenty zhang from Chu Ming. The attack’s potency was extreme. The power of Rainfall Fall deployed by Chu Ming was comparable to that of Starfire Extinction used by a First Layer Transcendence martial artist, with a much wider attack range.

Chu Ming’s fierce attack immediately drew the attention of the other Cyan Yang Sect disciples. A red-clad woman at the northern end of the line killed a Two-headed Demon Wolf with a flash of her sword and called out to Chu Ming, "I’m Hong Yun. I don’t know which master of the Cyan Yang List you are?"

Her voice was crisp like a yellow warbler’s. The others also turned to look at Chu Ming, appearing cautious. They were all ordinary Inner Sect Disciples, while those on the Cyan Yang List were figures they looked up to. Li An, upon hearing this, wore a complex expression, sighed, and gave a bitter smile.

"I’m Chu Ming, not a disciple on the Cyan Yang List!" Chu Ming said calmly. He didn’t stop attacking, executing Clear Wind Shadowless to eradicate several Flame Birds in the sky, their bodies falling to the ground and piling up thick layers.

Hearing this, Hong Yun was momentarily stunned, finding it hard to believe. She mentally went through all the names on the Cyan Yang List but didn’t find anyone named Chu Ming. Indeed, he wasn’t one of the esteemed seniors from the Cyan Yang List. However, recalling Chu Ming’s immense sword strike earlier, she felt a shiver down her spine.

The assumption that Chu Ming was a Cyan Yang List disciple arose from the sheer power of his previous sword strike. Hong Yun’s cousin, an Inner Sect Disciple ranked 89th on the Cyan Yang List, had demonstrated a far less potent attack compared to Chu Ming’s. Although Chu Ming used a Martial Technique, Hong Yun doubted it was his strongest attack, deducing that Chu Ming’s steady state suggested otherwise.

For a moment, the group fell silent, continuing to move towards Ironblood City, which had the nearest stronghold with True Dao Realm martial artists.

Despite the demon beasts’ hindrance, within half an hour, Chu Ming saw Ironblood City’s walls. Fortunately, there had been no deaths along the way, though a few ordinary folks sustained minor injuries from carelessness.

"Almost there, everyone push harder!" Hong Yun shouted excitedly, her face elated. She had thought they were doomed, but now, miraculously alive, she felt a sense of surviving a disaster. She then turned to Chu Ming and called out, "Brother Chu, let me treat you all to a meal once we’re inside the city!"

"Sure!" Chu Ming replied with a gentle smile. Silver Light Sword flashed, releasing countless streaks of Sword Light like dazzling fireworks, slicing the demon beasts ahead into countless pieces.

Roar Roar Roar

At this moment, a piercing screech echoed from behind Chu Ming, tearing through the sky, causing the surrounding demon beasts to scatter in fear, creating a vacant area around them.

A colossal Black-winged Eagle soared out from the beast horde, swiftly surpassing most other beasts. It appeared before Chu Ming, wreaking havoc with its wind and stones, its black feathers standing erect, emitting an overwhelming beastly aura.

A Fourth Level Middle Tier demon beast, the Black-winged Eagle! frёewebηovel.cѳm

Feeling the Black-winged Eagle’s presence, Hong Yun and the other Cyan Yang Sect disciples showed despair in their eyes, turning pale. A Fourth Level Middle Tier demon beast wielded strength comparable to a Seventh Layer Transcendence martial artist. One random attack could annihilate them. So close to the city, yet they faced a deadly obstacle now. Hong Yun felt a deep sense of unwillingness.

"Brother Chu, if there’s a chance, escape on your own!" Hong Yun said, reluctantly. Although Chu Ming exhibited significant strength, she doubted his ability to fight the ferocious Black-winged Eagle.

Rumble

Chu Ming said nothing, as a blazing red Sword Qi erupted from his sword, draining all nearby Spiritual Qi. Streaks of Sword Essence exploded on his blade, exuding an intense fiery sensation, like wild, blazing flames.

"Starfire Extinction!"

A strike cleaved the sky, countless sparks bursting from Chu Ming’s sword, changing the space’s color. The red explosive Sword Aura slashed into the Black-winged Eagle.

Rip

The sound of fabric tearing echoed. In the Cyan Yang Sect disciples’ astonished eyes, the ferocious Fourth Level Middle Tier Black-winged Eagle was cleaved in two by the red Sword Aura, spilling blood everywhere, the moment frozen in time.

White robes stained with blood, Chu Ming exhaled a faint breath. This was his true full-force attack, where his essence, energy, and spirit peaked!

"Let’s move! Before we attract even stronger demon beasts!"

Seeing the others still in a daze, Chu Ming urged them. Only then did they snap back to reality, even Li An becoming cautious around Chu Ming. This was the effect of the vast strength gap. Compared to Chu Ming now, Li An’s strength had fallen far behind.

"I won’t give up easily!" Clenching his fist, staring at Chu Ming, Li An vowed. He felt his Martial Dao Will growing stronger, his mind clearer.

Seeing this change in Li An, Chu Ming showed appreciation in his eyes. Though Li An’s talent wasn’t the best, his Martial Dao Will was the firmest Chu Ming had seen. If talent decided one’s speed in advancing the Martial Way, then the Martial Dao Will determined one’s distance. Li An, with his unyielding will, surely had a limitless path ahead.

Perhaps due to Chu Ming’s slaying of the Black-winged Eagle, the subsequent attacks from demon beasts weakened significantly. In just ten minutes, the group escorted the ordinary people into Ironblood City.
