Chapter 277: Slaughtering into the Eastern Depot

From the moment Yu Liancheng appeared, to his arrow-killing the guards, to catching the long blade between his fingers, and splitting Gui Tongzi in two, only a brief moment had passed. Yet, the experts present could not help but feel a sense of heaven-turning, earth-shattering disbelief.

That group of guards was the Eastern Depot's most elite Black-Clad Arrow Squad, whose "Heaven-Locking Arrow Formation" was an existence that made countless people tremble with fear.

As for Guihai Yidao, he was an "Earthly Secret Agent" of the Dragon Guard Villa, his blade technique superb; regardless of whom he faced, he would always use but a single strike, and many long-renowned figures of the martial arts world had fallen under his blade.

As for Gui Tongzi, this person had committed monstrous crimes in the past, yet even under the pursuit of over ten righteous experts, he had still managed to escape with his life, from which one could imagine the brilliance of his escape techniques and ninjutsu.

But now, they were either dead or fleeing, in a state of utter wretchedness.

Boom—!!

Before Yu Liancheng had even walked into the Eastern Depot, he heard the thunderous sound of footsteps; the Eastern Depot and Embroidered Uniform Guard forces that had long been lying in ambush were already charging out from every corner.

There were also many renowned experts of the martial arts world who took the opportunity to swoop in from the air.

Yet, when they faced that Heavenly Human-like figure head-on, they could not help but hesitate, their faces revealing expressions of dread.

The methods Yu Liancheng had displayed earlier were too terrifying; if not for the Eastern Depot's strict discipline, which showed no mercy to deserters and even implicated their wives and children, they would likely have fled long ago.

"Since you all want to die so badly, I shall grant your wish. Fortunately, there are so many of you today that even on the road to Yellow Springs, you will not be lonely."

Yu Liancheng's expression grew increasingly indifferent, as if even a Heaven Collapsing and Earth Splitting event would not be enough to move him.

And in the next moment, his entire person seemed to have transformed into a Divine Sword, pacing slowly toward the Eastern Depot with the momentum of breaking the heavens and Splitting Earth.

An intangible and formless sword momentum diffused in all directions, carrying the power to cut through metal and jade. With a casual wave of his hand, he unleashed a peak-level sword move, his Sword Qi soaring to the heavens.

As for the guards, Embroidered Uniform Guards, and martial arts experts surrounding him, they were all shrouded in the shadow of death at this moment, falling in heaps like cut wheat, their blood pooling into a small stream.

Yu Liancheng, however, felt it was still too slow; he casually snatched a long sword and thrust it out abruptly.

And the moment this sword was thrust out, not only did the guards and Embroidered Uniform Guards facing it feel unprecedented fear.

Even the observing experts felt as if they were trapped in a quagmire, where moving a single finger became incomparably difficult.

A chill rose in their throats and hearts, as if the moment they moved even slightly, a sharp sword would instantly pierce their vitals, causing them to die an unnatural death.

One by one, they could only hold their breath and let this sword strike.

Before this sword, they were no more than insignificant ants, left to be crushed and slaughtered.

The heavens and all things in the world seemed to dim at this moment.

Between heaven and earth, there was only this ethereal sword light, slowly thrusting forward in a posture of death that transcended the mundane.

And wherever this sword light passed, there was only death.

A death that no one could resist.

When this sword landed, the long sword in Yu Liancheng's hand had already shattered with a "Crack! Crack!", turning into countless fragments and powder that drifted away with the wind; it seemed that even the sword itself could not withstand the power of that "death."

And on the long street, apart from Yu Liancheng standing calmly, it was a hellish scene: blood flowed like a river, corpses lay everywhere, enough to make one vomit; an ordinary person would have nightmares for three days and three nights just by looking.

The crowd of watching experts trembled all over, nearly losing the ability to think. They had never seen such a terrifying person, nor had they ever seen such a terrifying sword strike.

The Demon Sect Leader, terrifying to this extent!

Yu Liancheng's figure finally stepped into the Eastern Depot.

"Goodness, this Brother Yu is no pushover; I, Cheng Shifei, had better not provoke him."

Cheng Shifei gulped, his body trembling incessantly.

Heaven have mercy, although he possessed a body of brilliant martial arts, he had been a hoodlum just a few days ago; that he didn't faint from fright upon seeing this scene proved his strong psychological fortitude.

And the crowd of watching experts fared no better than him.

Among this group, there was no lack of so-called righteous experts who had hoped to wait for Yu Liancheng and the Eastern Depot to both suffer, then swoop in to reap the benefits, eliminate the Demon Sect Leader, and uphold martial arts justice.

But now, if Yu Liancheng were to appear before them, they would be considered true men if their legs didn't go weak and they didn't immediately swear allegiance to the Demon Sect Leader.

Inside the Eastern Depot, screams rang out one after another. From time to time, corpses were thrown out, all of them fairly famous evil-path experts of the martial arts world.

One could imagine how many experts the Eastern Depot had set in ambush, attempting to assassinate Yu Liancheng.

But before this out-of-spec expert, they were merely a facade; other than adding a few more corpses, they had no effect at all.

Some righteous figures could not help but feel a sense of dread in their hearts.

With the Demon Sect Leader so formidable, the righteous path of the world is in danger.

……

In the main hall, Cao Zhengchun, the Five Poisons of Xiangxi, and the couple Luo Jusheng and his wife also heard the screams. Having witnessed that sword strike representing death, their faces had long since changed.

Cao Zhengchun was still drinking tea, his ruddy face appearing calm and collected, as if everything were under control, but his heart was already churning with stormy waves.

During the battle at White Cloud Tower that day, he had thought he had seen Yu Liancheng's full strength, but he had not expected that he had not yet shown his true skills.

"Grand Overseer, that person's martial arts have reached a shocking realm; my wife and I admit we are no match, so we shall take our leave first, and hope the Grand Overseer will forgive us."

The couple Luo Jusheng and his wife exchanged a glance, bowed to Cao Zhengchun, and without waiting for the Grand Overseer's reply, they had already swept outward.

"We shall repay the Grand Overseer's kindness another day." The Five Poisons also turned to leave.

None of them were fools; naturally, they did not wish to play the mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Boom.

Just at this moment, the ground shook violently, as if a magnitude-twelve earthquake had struck.

"Heh, little mice, did I say you could leave?"

A clear, bright voice rang out, and at the same time, the roof of the hall shattered with a boom.

Rubble, carrying the force of ten thousand jun, crashed down, emitting a heaven-shaking sound that was deafening.

At the same time, a figure "slowly" descended from the broken hole; though clearly as fast as lightning, it gave the illusion of being as slow as a freeze-frame.

The black robes were blown by the wind, snapping loudly, as if they were dark clouds sweeping across the sky, obscuring the light.

Simultaneously, that person pressed his palm downward and twisted; a head flew up, and blood sprayed three zhang high.

This was a beautiful woman, dressed in Miao attire; she was none other than Luo Jusheng's wife.

This woman was famous throughout the world for her gu-poison techniques, and her martial arts were quite good, making her a First-class Expert of the world, but she did not expect to have her head snapped off by someone in a single move.

"I said, none of you are leaving today." Yu Liancheng grinned, revealing a mouthful of ghastly white teeth, brimming with murderous intent.
