"It's Liu Shengchuan!"

Amidst the crowd, someone shouted. As the sound spread, the faces of everyone present turned to fear. Liu Shengchuan came from the outside world, and no one knew his purpose for entering Mukong Island. But one thing was clear: Liu Shengchuan was terrifyingly powerful.

There was once a hidden master who ambushed Liu Shengchuan midway, only to be slain on the spot by Liu Shengchuan, blood splattering three feet.

Since then, no one on Mukong Island dared to provoke Liu Shengchuan. Even the strong members of the Wood Profound Sect would avoid him if they could.

No one expected that Liu Shengchuan would arrive at the Wood Profound Sect on this crucial day, and judging by his expression, he was clearly here with malevolent intentions.

"The Wood Profound Sect and Young Master Liu have always kept to themselves. May I ask what business brings Young Master Liu to our sect?"

Yu Lie stepped forward and asked Liu Shengchuan neither humbly nor arrogantly.

At the same time, a trace of joy rose in his heart. He desperately hoped that Liu Shengchuan would cause a commotion at the Vice Sect Leader's inauguration ceremony, which would disgrace Ku Teng and avenge the insult Ku Teng inflicted on him three days ago.

"I'm here to see your Sect Leader!"

Liu Shengchuan said indifferently. Chu Ming could think of the connection between the Wood Profound Sect and the Wood Profound Fruit, how could he not? But his approach was more direct; he directly attacked the headquarters of the Wood Profound Sect, something an ordinary martial artist wouldn't dare to do. But he dared because he was Liu Shengchuan, the "First Swordsman" of the younger generation in the North Sea.

"Our Holy Sect's Leader manages countless affairs daily. How could you see him just because you want to?"

Yu Lie's heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely understood Liu Shengchuan's purpose for coming to Mukong Island. Only those who had truly met the Wood Profound Sect Leader would understand what a great attraction the Leader had for martial artists.

"If I say I will see him, then I will see him. If he doesn't come out, I'll fight until he does!"

Liu Shengchuan's eyes were as calm as water. The blue longsword behind him suddenly unsheathed, transforming into a terrifying blue dragon that swept through the entire hall.

Pu pu pu...

Crack!

One sword to pierce the heavens!

The entire hall was cleaved in half by a single slash from Liu Shengchuan. A thousand-meter-long sword mark appeared on the ground, causing the soil on both sides to collapse into the space crazily. Any martial artist who didn't have time to dodge was instantly turned into a mist of blood by this sword.

"What audacity! I, Dong Qianhai, refuse to believe you alone can rival the entire Wood Profound Sect!"

Boom!

The Dong Family Patriarch, Dong Qianhai, lightly stomped his foot, causing the ground to shatter instantly. Dust flew everywhere as his body turned into a stream of light, shooting forward. Along with him were several imposing figures who also charged towards Liu Shengchuan.

Yu Lie hesitated slightly and didn't rush towards Liu Shengchuan. He had been injured by Chu Ming three days ago, and his combat power was less than thirty percent of his peak state.

"Come on!"

Facing the encirclement, Liu Shengchuan showed no fear. His blue longsword pointed skyward, and his cyan robe fluttered wildly.

"War King Killing Fist!"

"Wooden Cage!"

"True Self Sword!"

...

Countless martial arts secret techniques in myriad colors were hurled at Liu Shengchuan. The grand aura changed the sky's color, gathering everyone's full-strength attack. This attack had the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, causing the sun and moon to lose their light.

In Liu Shengchuan's eyes, faint traces of lightning flickered. The secrets of the sword surrounded him as he suddenly roared towards the sky.

"Sword, come!"

Tear!

The blue longsword in his hand seemed to transform into an invisible sword that pierced the heavens, transcending everything, eternal throughout the ages.

Pu pu pu...

Space ripples surged as the invisible killing force spread rapidly. Before Dong Qianhai and his fighters could even approach Liu Shengchuan, they were struck back by his sword.

Spurt!

From the ripples of the sword aura, a faint hint of sword energy suddenly emerged, instantly piercing Dong Qianhai's body. These fine sword auras were everywhere, like a sweeping storm. Half of the hall's inhabitants hadn't even reacted before they were slain in an instant. Blood flowed in streams, dyeing the floor red.

"This..."

Yu Lie's face turned pale, and he was momentarily stunned. Liu Shengchuan's might made him realize the power of the "First Swordsman".

When Liu Shengchuan's gaze fell on Situ Lei and the Second Elder, both their bodies trembled, their legs shaking like sieves.

"I will count to ten. If your Sect Leader does not appear, I will commence the killing!"

The wanton slaughter did not bring any guilt to Liu Shengchuan. His gaze swept coldly over the remaining people in the hall.

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

...

A chilling voice echoed. With each number he counted, the faces of those in the room grew paler.

"Vice Sect Leader Ku Teng, I am gravely injured now. I implore you to shield our sect against Liu Shengchuan. The entire Holy Sect will be immensely grateful to you!"

As despair enveloped the crowd, Yu Lie suddenly bowed respectfully before Chu Ming, speaking righteously.

No sooner had he finished speaking, Yu Lie shot a glance at Situ Lei and the Second Elder. Their expressions changed slightly, but they gritted their teeth, stepping forward, and clasped their hands before Chu Ming.

"We implore Vice Sect Leader Ku Teng to take action!"

"We implore Vice Sect Leader Ku Teng to take action!"

Chu Ming's expression remained calm, but a cold light flashed in his eyes. Combined with his withered face, it made him appear extremely ghostly.

Seeing Chu Ming unmoved and showing no intention of standing up, Yu Lie gritted his teeth again, saying, "Does Vice Sect Leader Ku Teng wish to see our sect drenched in blood?"

"The great enemy of the Wood Profound Sect will naturally be dealt with by the Sect Leader!"

Chu Ming said slowly, his eyes slightly raised as he glanced at the sky. At this moment, Liu Shengchuan had already counted to "three". A feeling of despair enveloped the entire hall.

Yu Lie, Situ Lei, and the Second Elder seemed to realize something, and they suddenly looked up at the sky. What they saw next would be unforgettable for the rest of their lives!

Crack!

Just as Liu Shengchuan's voice fell on "two," a pitch-black crack suddenly appeared in the sky. A gigantic green hand extended from it, pressing down towards Liu Shengchuan, seemingly containing the power to suppress the heavens. Under this hand, everyone felt extremely insignificant.

Whoosh!

Liu Shengchuan's sharp instincts kicked in the moment the green giant hand appeared. He took a sudden step back, his blue longsword leaving a deep sword mark in the air, slashing at the giant hand.

Crack!

As the sword aura clashed with the hand, both shattered. The immense force from the hand sent Liu Shengchuan flying backward, not daring to pause for even a moment.

"Finally appeared?"

Looking at the half-visible green hand in the sky, Chu Ming's face remained calm. At this moment, the mysterious Wood Profound Sect Leader finally made an appearance.

"Welcome, Sect Leader!"

Yu Lie's face showed terror, and he instantly knelt on the ground, not daring to rise. The other elders of the Wood Profound Sect also suddenly realized and knelt down in haste.

"Welcome, Sect Leader!"
