From Sword to Slaughter: Evolution

After leaving the tavern, Liu Yi headed directly towards the Thunder Sect.

The sect wasn't far from the town.

Before long, Liu Yi arrived at the base of the mountain where the Thunder Sect was located.

At the foot of the mountain, many warriors were already guarding the area.

"Who goes there?"

Seeing Liu Yi approach, the warriors immediately raised their weapons, eyes filled with vigilance.

"I've come to bring you news," Liu Yi said with a faint smile, his gaze falling on the warriors.

The Thunder Sect was indeed powerful, even the gatekeepers were Martial Kings.

But for someone like Liu Yi, Martial Kings were nothing more than insignificant beings, easily crushed with a flick of his hand.

"What news?"

The warriors were momentarily taken aback by Liu Yi's words. They exchanged glances before one of them fixed his gaze on Liu Yi and spoke.

"I know who killed those Thunder Sect warriors," Liu Yi said calmly.

Soon after, the warriors led Liu Yi forward.

Before long, they arrived at the Elders' Pavilion.

"Elder Cheng, this warrior claims to know who killed our Thunder Sect members," one of the guards reported to an elder standing inside the grand hall.

"I see. You may leave now," Elder Cheng replied.

"Yes!"

As the guards withdrew, Elder Cheng turned to see Liu Yi stepping into the hall.

"You know who did it?"

"If your information is accurate, you will be rewarded with one hundred divine stones," Elder Cheng said with a calm, scrutinizing gaze.

"Really now?"

"I'm one hundred percent certain about who the killer is," Liu Yi replied with a smirk.

A hundred divine stones? It seemed the Thunder Sect had quite the wealth.

Divine stones were crystals that contained immense divine energy, and absorbing their energy could greatly accelerate one's cultivation.

"Yes, as long as you know who the killer is, you will receive the reward," Elder Cheng said, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"Alright, I'll tell you who did it."

"Who?"

"Me."

Liu Yi's smile took on a sinister edge.

"You're courting death!"

Elder Cheng's face darkened instantly upon hearing Liu Yi's words.

"I'm telling the truth."

"Are you sure you don't want to give me those divine stones?"

Liu Yi's eyes locked onto Elder Cheng as he spoke.

By now, the elder's eyes were filled with killing intent.

With a single thought, a broad longsword appeared in his hand.

Whoosh—

Wielding the sword, Elder Cheng swung it, sending a powerful wave of sword energy rushing toward Liu Yi.

But Liu Yi didn't move an inch.

Just as the sword energy was about to strike him, he unsheathed his own sword.

Bang!

With a single swing, Liu Yi's sword shattered the incoming energy.

Impossible!

Elder Cheng's eyes widened in shock, disbelief flashing in his gaze.

In that moment, Liu Yi moved.

With the Ye Fan sword in hand, he dashed toward Elder Cheng!

His speed was incredible. As he charged, his figure split into hundreds of clones.

[Phantom Dance]!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Each clone carried a flashing sword light, all aimed at Elder Cheng.

The elder panicked, frantically swinging his broad longsword to block the incoming attacks.

"Petty tricks!"

Though the attacks were swift, Elder Cheng believed he could block them all with his weapon. Once he did, he thought, he could turn the tables and defeat Liu Yi.

But after a few clashes between his sword and Liu Yi's, a sharp cracking sound echoed through the hall.

Crack—

As the sound rang out, Elder Cheng noticed large cracks forming on his sword.

It looked as though it would shatter at any moment!

His eyes widened in fear, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

But by then, it was already too late.

Bang!

In the next instant, Elder Cheng's sword shattered into pieces.

At the same moment, Liu Yi's Ye Fan sword pierced through his body.

Hundreds of sword strikes landed simultaneously, slicing Elder Cheng's body into countless pieces!

A Martial God had been slain in an instant.

"Huh?"

However, as Liu Yi cut Elder Cheng's body to pieces, he noticed a surge of energy trying to escape from the shattered remains.

A remnant of Elder Cheng's soul force was attempting to flee.

A primordial spirit!

As long as the primordial spirit remained intact, the person wouldn't be truly dead.

"Trying to run?"

Seeing this, Liu Yi let out a cold laugh.

Whoosh—

In a flash, he appeared behind the fleeing spirit and swung his sword.

The spirit was cleaved in two with a single stroke!

[Killed One-Star Martial God, gained 100,000,000 evolution points]

[Absorbed One-Star Martial God blood essence, gained 1,000 energy points]

[Absorbed One-Star Martial God blood essence, gained 1,000 energy points]

...

As Elder Cheng's primordial spirit was destroyed, a surge of energy flooded into Liu Yi's body.

Amazing!

The energy from killing a Martial God was truly overwhelming!

Liu Yi felt as though his body might explode from the sheer amount of energy flooding into him.

At that moment, he noticed the guards from earlier rushing into the hall.

"Elder Cheng!!!"

The guards had heard the sounds of battle and hurried back, only to be met with the shocking scene inside the hall.

This warrior had actually killed Elder Cheng...

"I told him before, the one who killed your Thunder Sect warriors… was me."

Liu Yi's eyes gleamed as he laughed, addressing the guards.

"Go report this to the Sect Master!"

The guards, their faces pale with fear, turned to flee.

"You won't escape."

Liu Yi's gaze turned cold as he watched them.

If he was going to kill, he would leave no survivors.

With a thought, he swung his sword into the air.

Waves of sword qi burst forth from his blade!
