My Wife Is The Leader Of A Demonic Cult

102  Chapter 102 The Grandmaster Expert Makes Their First Appearance

It turned out that after An Jing executed the Sword Control Flying Immortal technique, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence was unceasingly pouring its nature's spiritual energy into the Evil Suppressing Sword.

"What a cunning swordsman!" Ling Yuhua couldn't help but curse.

Xi Jikui's face turned extremely grim, especially as he saw that the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence was gradually dissipating, shrinking by a layer in just a moment.

Above the sky, the giant sword spanned across the heavens, with its sword intent soaring to the skies.

Meanwhile, the combined Inner Strength of the other ten First Grade Experts stirred up enormous waves, shaking the entirety of Three Temple Mountain, nearly submerging it into the furious oceanic tides.

"Too powerful!"

Looking up at the battle above, Fa Wu and the distant Dai Ling both went blank in their minds, feeling as if the swordsman before them was not of the same breed, but rather a Sword Immortal who could turn the world upside down and stir the wind and clouds.

"Any one of these ten First Grade Experts is a famous master in the Jianghu, and even a master in the Half-step Master Realm would be crushed by their boundless Inner Strength."

"Who exactly is this swordsman!? What is his background!?"

"I've only heard of the five great Sword Immortals in the Jianghu, but from today onwards, there might appear a sixth Sword Immortal in Jianghu."

.....

Everyone present was tremendously shaken, speculating the identity of the swordsman.

"Why can this swordsman burn Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence!?" Li Yue frowned tightly, thinking to herself.

Only a master in the Grandmaster Realm could harness nature's spiritual energy, and Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence is the quintessence of that spiritual energy, such that even ordinary Grandmasters would find it difficult to burn and utilize directly.

"This swordsman's identity is too mysterious, and his strength is extremely formidable; he will certainly become a Half-step Master in the future. If he could join the Demon Sect, it would undoubtedly enhance our sect's prestige," Li Fuzhou thought to himself as he watched the awe-inspiring swordsman before him.

"We can't continue fighting like this. If we keep going, it will only lead to mutual destruction, and the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence will be depleted by that swordsman."

Liu Qingshan said with furrowed brows.

Even if they were to win in the end, there wouldn't be much of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence left.

The rest of the masters also nodded in agreement, clearly concurring with Liu Qingshan's words.

"Clang!"

Upon hearing this, Xi Jikui turned the Dragon and Phoenix Double Rings in his hands, and the previously deadlocked situation suddenly changed.

A tremendous sound of metal clashing echoed forth, and immediately after the giant sword came to an abrupt halt, the other masters swiftly retreated.

An Jing quickly retracted his Qi Mechanism, but a domineering rebound of force came through, causing his body to plummet like a kite with a broken string, eventually smashing into the walls of the hall, where he was finally able to arrest his momentum. After that, he felt a sweet taste in his mouth, followed by blood still trickling down the corner of his lips.

"No good, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence is about to scatter."

Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence gathered from nature's spiritual energy and was originally refined by Grandmaster level masters. After being left for a long time, it would dissipate into nothingness.

Nature's spiritual energy could still be harnessed into the Dantian, but the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence was so pure that if absorbed into the Dantian, it would require a tremendous amount of Inner Strength to suppress the essence, limiting one's strength to only fifty percent. This was undoubtedly akin to becoming a lamb to the slaughter.

Naturally, An Jing would not do such a foolish thing.

The ten great masters, too, were shaken by the aftershock of the giant sword and retreated backward, each with a particularly ugly expression on their faces.

Good opportunity!

When they saw An Jing spitting out blood, a glint appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Since you all want this Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence, I'll give it to you."

An Jing tossed the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence in his hand.

"Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence!"

Seeing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence, everyone's eyes lit up, and they rushed towards it.

"Slash!"

In the next moment, a ruthless sword light slashed down, targeting the Spirit Essence.

This sword light shot through heaven and earth!

The one who drew the sword was An Jing himself.

The sword light was incredibly fast, falling in an instant, and before anyone could react, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence directly shattered, turning into several faint, tiny sparks.

The swordsman actually destroyed the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence!

Such a malicious swordsman!

What an unscrupulous swordsman!

The collective masters were shocked and angry!

"Thief...."

Just as Tian Cansou was about to curse in anger, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

He saw that as the sword struck, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence instantly split, turning into six fine streaks of blue light.

Nature's spiritual energy!

The Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence was split by a single sword strike, not dissipating directly, but transforming into six streams of nature's spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy began to spread out, drifting toward the night sky, seemingly ready to vanish into the cosmos.

The numerous masters present, like madmen, rushed towards the spiritual energy.

Liu Qingshan, Li Fuzhou, Xi Jikui, Tian Liu, and Guo Yuchun were among those who caught up with three of the streams, while Ling Yuhua, Li Yue, and Gu Renwo chased after one of them.

An Jing was taken aback by this as well. He had wanted to obliterate the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence, but to his surprise, it had split apart. With a swift movement, he rushed towards the nearest piece of nature's spiritual energy.

Another person was after the same target, and that was Zhang Shuang.

Relying on the sharpness of the Evil Suppressing Sword, An Jing brandished his longsword, forcing Zhang Shuang to hastily retreat.

He grasped the strand of nature's spiritual energy in his hand and then directly channeled it into his Dantian.

"You!"

Seeing this, Zhang Shuang's face immediately changed dramatically.

"If we join forces now, he is heavily injured and relying on the damaged Evil Suppressing Sword, he might not be a match for the two of us."

Just then, Gan Yue spoke from the side.

Since An Jing had been able to fight against a number of higher-ups just before, it was clear that he relied on the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence. Now that the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence was gone, and he had taken a heavy hit, it was an excellent opportunity.

"Good!"

After speaking, the two of them charged towards An Jing.

"It's nature's will for rain to fall and for a woman to marry, since you seek death, don't blame me for what comes next."

An Jing's eyes were like torches, and his longsword slashed out in his hand.

The Nine-character Sword Technique! The Lin Character Secret!

With the Evil Suppressing Sword in hand, its sword light was unmatched in sharpness.

Gan Yue's fist force was split in two, and his body was forced to retreat again and again.

Zhang Shuang swung her long whip in her hands, the sound of the wind howling forth, a cold gleam thrusting straight at An Jing's eyebrow. Just at that critical moment, An Jing leapt, avoiding the whip shadow.

"Bang!"

The tip of the whip struck the ground fiercely, and the ground exploded open.

Gan Yue advanced with large steps once again, this time his moves were not as fierce and overbearing, but instead contained a bit of cunning, clearly aiming to evade the sword light of An Jing's Evil Suppressing Sword.

Both of these Great Heavenly Gang members were at the Human Flower Realm, with cultivation just a notch below An Jing's, but their combined forces made it difficult for the injured An Jing wielding the Evil Suppressing Sword to overcome them.

"Gentlemen, stay calm and don't be rash. Zhang is here to lend you a hand."

Just as the fight among the three became indistinguishable, a figure dashed forward.

This person was none other than Tian Cansou.

An Jing had seen it clearly before; the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence had turned into six strands of nature's spiritual energy, and Tian Cansou, with his swift movement skills, had already claimed one of those strands first.

Among such a fierce combat of many high-level experts, it was already extremely difficult to seize one strand of nature's spiritual energy.

Yet, having obtained a strand and not leaving evidently showed that he still coveted the strand of nature's spiritual energy that An Jing held.

Although Tian Cansou spoke in such a way, he clearly had no intention of making a move, obviously waiting for An Jing and the other two to injure each other seriously before he would strike.

Facing the two of them, An Jing advanced instead of retreating, the cold light from the Evil Suppressing Sword in his hand flaring in all directions.

"Go away!"

Seeing this, Zhang Shuang's long whip swept out, like the vast Yellow River, its momentum fierce and overwhelming.

"Sss!"

The sword light shifted, the blade of the Evil Suppressing Sword was incredibly sharp, wielded by An Jing to extremes. Zhang Shuang's whip was instantly cut into several pieces.

At this moment, behind An Jing, the Human Flower and Earth Flower emerged, swaying in the night sky.

"Not good!"

Zhang Shuang's face showed panic, and she quickly retreated towards the distance.

"The Earth Flower Realm, did he break through just now?" Gan Yue was also taken aback.

No one had expected that, although the swordsman was indeed injured, with the help of the traveling Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence within his body, his cultivation had broken through to the Earth Flower Realm.

The peak of the Human Flower and Earth Flower, though seemingly just a step apart, represent an immeasurable increase in cultivation. Add to that the swordsman's exquisite swordsmanship and the exceptional Evil Suppressing Sword in hand.

"It's too late to retreat now!"

An Jing sneered coldly, the Evil Suppressing Sword pointing forward.

"Shiick!"

The sword light was extremely fast, its edge so sharp it seemed it could pierce the air itself.

"Gurgle--!"

Zhang Shuang's body faltered, the Evil Suppressing Sword piercing her chest, then with a "thud!" she fell to the ground.

"Run quickly!"

Seeing this, Gan Yue felt a chill rush to the top of his head.

"You can't escape!"

An Jing's Qi Force turned in his hand, and the Evil Suppressing Sword flew out straight away.

The sword light surged, tearing a rift in the night sky, light and darkness intertwining, creating a sense of confusion.

The Sword Control Technique!

The sword light charged forward, the world fell silent, as if only the longsword reverberated in the air.

"Pfft!"

The Evil Suppressing Sword penetrated Gan Yue's body.

In an instant, two Great Heavenly Gang members lay deceased.

"Two Great Heavenly Gang members are dead!"

The Gold Constables who were still intending to rush forward all halted, each gasping in cold air.

Great Heavenly Gang! Those were the Xuanyi Guard's Jade Constables, almost the very top warriors of the Xuanyi Guard. Usually, losing one Great Heavenly Gang member required a death notice to be sent out to the whole world, but now two had been lost within a few breaths.

"Run fast!"

The high-level experts of the Xuanyi Guard, fearing that the swordsman's point would turn on them next, each fled toward the distant forest, like startled birds.

"This swordsman has been promoted to the Earth Flower Realm, his strength is comparable to mine, and with the Evil Suppressing Sword in hand, he is certainly not my match."

Tian Cansou felt as if his heart were about to leap out upon seeing this scene.

He had originally thought of taking advantage of the chaos to gain another strand of nature's spiritual energy, but now it seemed completely like a fool's dream.

With that thought, Tian Cansou retreated towards the back.

"Zhang Zhixing, I need your head for a moment!"

Tian Cansou just thought of escaping, but Li Fuzhou had already rushed over, blocking his path.

```

The Sect Hierarch has decreed that Tian Cansou cannot leave Yu State City alive. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

An Jing also stood, sword in hand, behind him, his gaze icy cold, not speaking but emitting an aura of murderous intent.

"Both of you have already obtained nature's spiritual energy, why make things difficult for me?"

Tian Cansou laughed softly.

"Then why not obtain a bit more if we can?"

An Jing said indifferently.

Just now, when Zhang Shuang and Gan Yue were attacking him together, if he had shown any weakness, Tian Cansou would surely have dealt him a fatal blow.

"You must die," Li Fuzhou said calmly.

"Good, very good!"

Tian Cansou laughed in furious mockery, "Since you both insist on pushing me to a dead end, then Zhang will dispense with the pleasantries."

With that, Tian Cansou stomped his foot and a leg lashed out fiercely towards An Jing.

An Jing raised his Evil Suppressing Sword in his hand, and the sword light became chaotic.

Unexpectedly, Tian Cansou's attack was a feint, and as he withdrew his attack, he turned and fled into the distance.

"You think you can escape!?"

An Jing was slightly startled, then quickly sprang after him in pursuit.

Tian Cansou relied on his leg technique, hence his movement technique was also excellent, extremely fast; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to take away that wisp of nature's spiritual energy amidst the earlier chaos.

Li Fuzhou also hurried in pursuit, as the Sect Hierarch had said that this man must not be allowed to leave Yu State City.

"Great Elder!"

Just then, a figure appeared ahead.

It was Dai Ling.

"Quick, run!"

Seeing Dai Ling suddenly appear, Tian Cansou quickly shouted.

Upon hearing this, Dai Ling tensed up and, without any carelessness, followed Tian Cansou and leaped towards the distance.

"Where do you think you're going!?"

Li Fuzhou sneered, and a palm struck towards Dai Ling.

Compared to Tian Cansou, Dai Ling's speed was without a doubt much slower.

Seeing this, Tian Cansou had no choice but to turn back and meet Li Fuzhou's palm head-on.

"Thud!"

The collision unleashed violent forces all around.

Tian Cansou staggered backward, then suddenly kicked Dai Ling away, "This is the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence, you must go."

He forced out the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence from within his dantian and infused it into Dai Ling's body.

"What about you, Great Elder?" Dai Ling frowned and asked.

"Go! Don't worry about me!"

Tian Cansou shouted lowly.

"He can't escape!"

"Whoosh!"

Just then, An Jing's sword light arrived with the wind.

Tian Cansou could only meet An Jing again, his legs moving in a blur like a whirlwind.

"Great Elder..."

"Run!"

Tian Cansou bellowed.

"She can't escape..."

Li Fuzhou's gaze carried an intent to kill. Killing the daughter of Dai Danshu, Dai Danshu would probably go mad, right?

He wanted to see what it would look like when Dai Danshu lost his mind.

With that thought, he dashed forward with large strides, his palm mercilessly striking towards Dai Ling.

Tian Cansou was still unsteady but managed to step forward, blocking the way in front of Dai Ling.

"Bang!"

Li Fuzhou's palm hit Tian Cansou squarely on the body.

"Great Elder!" Dai Ling's heart trembled.

"Go...quickly..."

Blood streamed from Tian Cansou's mouth as he spoke.

With tears in her eyes, Dai Ling clenched her teeth and dashed off into the distance.

An Jing wanted to follow and eliminate the roots, but Tian Cansou fought with desperate strength, launching a leg attack at him.

"Seeking death!"

Both An Jing and Li Fuzhou were entangled by him; even a few sword marks on their bodies didn't make them retreat.

"Then I'll grant you your death wish," An Jing declared, his eyes filled with murderous intent, as his Evil Suppressing Sword swept forward.

Tian Cansou had just engaged Li Fuzhou and had no opportunity to block this swift strike.

"Pffft!"

Tian Cansou's body was split in two, severed at the waist, blood soaking through the
