Chapter 254 – Sword God Domain Shows Its Might, Slaying Qi Qingshan!!

Tens of thousands of eyes watched from high above.

“You… this brat is actually at the Supreme Realm?”

Qi Qingshan stared fixedly at Qin Yang, his face ashen. Sensing the aura emanating from Qin Yang, he felt like a complete fool…

If Qin Yang was already at the Supreme Realm now…

Then all that suffering he had forced upon this Qin kid back then…

Had all been an act!

How absurd!

“Fine! You junior certainly know how to act. I truly misjudged you.”

Qi Qingshan gnashed his teeth, fury blazing in his eyes. “When Wushuang said you were as cunning as a monkey, I didn’t believe him. Never expected your acting skills had reached perfection, enough to deceive even me!”

“Hmph, with your third-rate Sword Dao, you think you can harm me?”

Qin Yang raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms as he met Qi Qingshan’s gaze without a trace of fear. “Not to boast, but even with my eyes closed, I could point out countless flaws in your technique.”

“Your Sword Qi appears sharp, but it’s actually strong on the outside and weak within!”

“Sword Dao like yours… only deserves to be a sword! You’ll never become one who commands the sword! Without commanding the sword, how can you break through constraints? It seems you’re doomed to be that old man’s dog for life!”

“You insolent brat! How dare you disrupt my Dao heart!!”

Upon hearing this, Qi Qingshan instantly lost his composure. He roared with rage, his face flushing crimson like liver, fists clenched so tightly his nails dug deep into his flesh, shoulders trembling violently.

He had pursued the Sword Dao his entire life just to reach the Celestial Venerable Realm!

Now Qin Yang was openly insulting him to his face!

And being spoken to like this by a junior!

This humiliation struck too deep!

“What? You disagree!?”

Qin Yang’s fingers brushed against the Ziwei Divine Sword, seemingly sensing Qi Qingshan’s emotions as he retorted with a laugh: “Someone who only bullies juniors – is this your Sword Dao?”

The final words erupted like a bombshell, instantly igniting Qi Qingshan’s fury!

Boom!

“You’re seeking death!!”

Qi Qingshan’s face contorted, veins bulging on his neck. He directly opened his Star Ring, drawing a reserve sword, its sharp point aimed straight at Qin Yang!

“Today I will surely take your head!”

“Qingshan, don’t be rash…”

Seeing the situation deteriorating, Liu Wushuang drifted forward intending to mediate. This battle could have been avoided, and he still wanted to play peacemaker.

But he had only taken a few steps when suddenly:

“Come back!”

A sharp rebuke erupted!

Meng Tianxuan shot him a glance, stepping forward to block his path, coldly stating: “This battle is unavoidable. To break Qingshan’s inner demon, he must be slain!”

“But, Alliance Lord…”

Just as Liu Wushuang tried to speak again, his words were cut off halfway.

“This matter should be decided by them. Your intervention is useless.”

Meng Tianxuan glanced toward Qin Yang, then sidelong at Liu Wushuang beside him, his voice growing colder: “What? Liu Wushuang, are you disobeying my orders now?”

“I wouldn’t dare!Upon hearing this, Liu Wushuang wanted to rephrase his persuasion.

But even as he spoke.

Clang!

A sharp sword left its scabbard!

A flash of sword light streaked across as Qi Qingshan could no longer restrain himself. He drew his sword and charged directly toward Qin Yang, eyes rapidly bloodshot, roaring:

“A dead genius is no genius at all!”

“Today I’ll send you to meet the Jianghai Sword God!!”

Killing intent surged forth.

“Come at me then.”Qin Yang held the Ziwei Divine Sword at an angle, fully prepared as he immediately sheathed the blade. The surging Star Power converged, and the Heaven-Slaying Sword Draw coupled with Sword Opens Heaven’s Gate were unleashed instantaneously!

The next moment.

Clang!

Twelve consecutive sword flashes shot forth!

“How is this possible!?”

Qi Qingshan’s pupils constricted to pinpricks. A blood line appeared on his neck where he touched it—merely the edge of the Sword Qi had instantly broken through his defenses.

Overwhelming fear rapidly spread through his heart.

He couldn’t win!

An expert knows from the first move whether they stand a chance!

Whether in Sword Intent mastery, divine weapon grade, or even Star Power fluctuations, Qin Yang completely overwhelmed him, reigning supreme above his head!

He couldn’t even get close—what was the point of fighting?!

“Alliance Lord, save me!”

Without a second thought, Qi Qingshan directly cried out to Meng Tianxuan for help while dodging Qin Yang’s pursuit, scrambling around like a dying dog.

A booming roar erupted!

Shaking the skies and echoing in all directions!

In an instant, everyone heard his plea for rescue—the fiercest tone uttering the most cowardly words.

“……The Supreme Alliance Leader’s face darkened, exasperated by this plea for help. He had just praised Qi Qingshan’s courage in overcoming his inner demons, only to be immediately proven wrong.

“You useless fool!!”

“You can’t even handle a junior! What use do I have for you in my Supreme Alliance?”

“I…While evading Qin Yang’s relentless pursuit, Qi Qingshan fled in a sorry state, too flustered to even form a coherent response.

Though utterly humiliated under the public gaze, he couldn’t care less—staying alive was the only way to gain capital for revenge!

If he were slain by Qin Yang now, even death would nail him eternally to the pillar of shame, making him a laughingstock for the entire world!

“Enough!”

The Supreme Alliance Leader understood this well. Reaching out between Qi Qingshan and Qin Yang, a gigantic palm materialized in the vast void, pressing down slowly.

Boom! Boom!

A terrifying aura swept forth, forming a barrier between the two.

“Tch! Can’t handle losing, you old fossil?”

Qin Yang clicked his tongue in annoyance, swiftly retreating backward to avoid the attack range. His sword flashes collided with the giant palm and dissipated.

“Th…thank you for saving my life, Alliance Lord!”

Qi Qingshan wiped cold sweat from his brow, fingers brushing the blood line on his neck. A moment later, and he would have certainly died! That Qin kid showed no mercy—he was determined to kill…

He couldn’t even match a newly ascended Supreme Realm cultivator…

“Has my Sword Dao been wrong… from the very beginning?”

Recalling Qin Yang’s mockery, he fell into deep self-doubt.

“Step back.”

At this, Meng Tianxuan shook his head and sternly halted him, pulling Qi Qingshan slightly back from the brink of Dao Heart collapse. Otherwise, his mental state would continue deteriorating. He declared:

“From today, you are confined to the alliance for five years—no leaving!”

“Yes.”

Qi Qingshan retreated, utterly dispirited.

After placating Qi Qingshan, Meng Tianxuan cleared his throat lightly and turned to Qin Yang:

“Young man, you’re quite remarkable. Slaying a Supreme Realm cultivator is indeed extraordinary, but don’t let arrogance consume you!”

“Heh, Alliance Lord, your words lack substance,”

Qin Yang laughed breezily, flicking blood off the Ziwei Divine Sword. “Youth without audacity is wasted youth, old-timer… It’s not that I’m too arrogant, but that you all are simply too aged!”

“Stuck clinging to outdated rules, trapped within your own fortresses—you’re doomed never to reach higher realms!”

As his words fell.

Hum!

It was as if they reverberated through the very soul.”Yes, how can one break through by sticking to conventions?”

Liu Wushuang murmured, pondering the meaning behind these words. His Dao heart began to waver. In the past, he had always firmly believed in the Supreme Alliance, but now doubts crept in.

Was this path truly right?

Just as another subordinate’s Dao heart was about to be thrown into chaos!

“Enough!”

Meng Tianxuan’s face darkened with fury. He reached out toward Qin Yang’s direction, a colossal palm surging forth, instantly amplifying in power.

“Let’s see how you dodge this, Alliance Lord!”

“Dodge?”

Qin Yang held Ziwei, facing the incoming palm with calm composure. “Isn’t this world vast enough?”

The next moment.

Hum!

The Sword God Domain unfolded!

His figure dissipated into the air, vanishing before everyone’s eyes as flesh and blood transformed into swords. Sharp and radiant, he roamed freely across the heavens and earth.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

In an instant.

All the swords in Jianghai erupted in unison, resonating as if an army of thousands was charging, all pointing toward the sky above the apartment.

Ten thousand swords paying homage to the sovereign!

On this day, the Sword Dao of Jianghai resonated once more!

“What is this?!”

Elder Li, who was observing the battle, gripped his trembling sword tightly, his pupils contracting sharply as if recalling something!

A single hand guiding ten thousand swords in song—such a scene had occurred in Jianghai City days before. That day had been a celebration for all sword cultivators in the city!

This moment was just like that one!

“So… it was Young Friend Qin who caused it…”

Elder Li sighed in admiration, slowly releasing his grip on his sword.

The sword, guided by the resonance, soared upward.

High in the sky.

Countless Sword Intent surged. Qin Yang’s form dissipated, becoming omnipresent. Tens of thousands of swords churned like a sea, forming a metallic torrent that charged straight toward the Supreme Alliance Leader.

“Coming for me?!”

The Supreme Alliance Leader was shocked, instinctively raising his hands to block.

But soon,

He realized he was wrong!

Terribly wrong!

“No! These swords aren’t aimed at me!”

The Supreme Alliance Leader snapped back to reality, sensing no killing intent. His expression turned horrified as he abruptly looked behind him, several zhang away, at Qi Qingshan!

Right above Qi Qingshan’s head!

Countless Sword Qi hung suspended, their sharp edges directed downward, forming a deadly sword formation. Qin Yang had bypassed him entirely and gone straight for Qi Qingshan!

“How dare you, brat?!”

Meng Tianxuan roared at the sky, but he couldn’t see where Qin Yang was, left with nothing but futile rage!

At that moment, a calm voice suddenly responded!

“Fall!”

The next moment!

Tens of thousands of swords trembled and roared in unison, abruptly contracting.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Flesh was pierced as countless blades tore through the body.

“Alliance Leader… save…”

Qi Qingshan stretched out a hand toward the Supreme Alliance Leader, trying to call for help, but in an instant, dozens of swords ripped through his throat and severed his foundation.

Ten thousand swords pierced through him!

In this fleeting moment before death, his life flashed before his eyes—the beggar seeking the sword, the glory of ascending to Earth Venerable, the admiration of thousands for slaying Star Beasts. If he had never met Qin Yang,

He should have become a Celestial Venerable…

Or even reached higher realms!

How he regretted it!

But life offered no second chances.

Death arrived in an instant.

Born by the sword, died by the sword—such was his life.

“Qingshan!”

The Supreme Alliance Leader was aghast. He immediately reached for Qi Qingshan’s corpse, trying to reclaim the remains, his mind utterly consumed by madness.

This Sword God’s Disciple was decisively beyond reason!

But just then!

“Want the corpse?!”

“Dream on!”Qin Yang roared furiously, raising the Ziwei Divine Sword as the all-encompassing storm of Sword Qi swirled and contracted, suddenly concentrating at a single point before completely retracting!

Threads of Sword Qi converged and crushed directly toward Qi Qingshan’s corpse, moving with the force of thunder—

He intended to destroy the evidence!

“How dare you!”

Meng Tianxuan, shocked and enraged, bellowed wildly as he frantically channeled Star Power, thrusting out a mountain-like giant palm in an attempt to block Qin Yang’s strike.

The Supreme, having just perished, still retained traces of vitality, and within the Supreme Alliance, countless secret techniques existed—it wasn’t impossible for Qi Qingshan to be resurrected through his corpse!

As long as the body remained!

But it was ultimately too late!

Boom!

A fierce Sword Intent erupted with millions of times the pressure, densely crisscrossing the heavens and earth, all converging in one direction—bones shattered, flesh scattered!

Qi Qingshan’s corpse was ground into fine dust!

Not even a whole body remained!

“Well deserved death!”

Qin Yang hovered above Qi Qingshan’s remains, pressing his advantage as he fully activated the law of flames!

Whoosh!

A sea of fire blazed skyward, vaporizing Qi Qingshan’s bloodstains and erasing every trace of his physical form from this world, leaving not a shred behind.

Back then, he had interrogated me with Sword Intent.

Now, I repay him a thousand, ten thousandfold!

Not even fragments of his body remained—not a single drop of blood could be seen!
