Not only did the Sword Emperor step into the sage realm not long ago, he even used an external object.

However, the other two had been stuck at the Ninth Heavenly Layer for countless years and were only half a step away from the Great Perfection Stage.

Just half a step more and they would be suppressed and beaten by Lei Ao. What made them cough up blood was that Lei Ao's abnormal defense, even though he could occasionally attack the enemy's body, there wasn't even a scratch on them.

This was the divine vein that Lei Ao obtained from fighting on the path of martial dao. After being awakened by the white-clothed person, it taught him body refining techniques.

It was said that this was the bloodline of his ancestors.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Lei Ao didn't want to investigate any further. In any case, this Divine Vein had brought him endless benefits. Its abnormal defense was far stronger than the Heavencraft Pavilion, and it could even resist the attacks of vicious beasts.

Compared to berserk beasts, the attacks of the two powerhouses from the evil races were like tickle for Lei Ao.

"Die!"

Lei Ao allowed the blood blade to strike on its own. Then, he moved in a flash to the front of a middle-aged man and slapped him down from the sky.

Soon after, the Heaven Collapsing Palm was continuously thrown out. A cloud of dust rolled away, and a huge crater of a hundred zhang deep was formed on the ground.

There was a pile of minced meat inside the hole. It had already been mixed with the soil, so it was impossible to distinguish a person's true form.

As expected of a heaven-defying technique from a vicious beast, it had actually forcefully turned a Saint realm expert into meat paste. This result made the other two frightened. At the same time, they had the thought of running away.

In a moment of absent-mindedness, the blood-red blade took advantage of the weakness to pierce through the obstructions and pierce the other middle-aged man's chest.

Sh * t. The middle-aged man had a bad feeling about this. Just as he was about to circulate his power and force the blade to bleed, he suddenly felt the bloodline power in his body draining out rapidly.

The more he used his power, the faster the loss. On the other hand, the bloody blade started to emit eye-piercing bloody spots.

In just a few breaths' time, a Saint realm expert had been sucked dry. After a full meal of the blood blade, he circulated his energy and turned the corpse into powder.

In the blink of an eye, only the Sword Emperor remained of the three experts, while he was the weakest.

"Any last words?" Lei Ao asked coldly.

"This empress has been unrestrained for half my life and has never begged for mercy. You rest and humiliate this empress." The Sword Emperor's eyes glowered at Lei Ao.

"Humiliate? You are not worthy. "

Lei Ao's body moved, and he appeared in front of the Sword Emperor. Just as he was about to make a move, a loud shout suddenly came from afar.

"Stop."

The voice sounded familiar. Lei Ao was stunned, but he stopped his attack at the same time.

"It's you?"

When the person flew up to them, it was Gu Yue, who had fought on behalf of the Tyrant Sword Pavilion back in Lin Yuan City.

Gu Yue had appeared to be afraid of death in the Wilderness, while Lei Ao had looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.

Lei Ao hadn't expected that Gu Yue, who feared death, would appear at this moment. According to his personality, he should be hiding somewhere.

"You are not allowed to kill my grandfather." Gu Yue blocked the Sword Emperor's path with her sword.

"Your grandfather?" Lei Ao was surprised once again. This Sword Emperor and this Heavenly Saber Elder were of the same generation. They were thousands of years old, yet they had a grandson in their twenties?

The legendary grandchild?

"Yue Er, why did you come out? Let's go!"

After Gu Yue appeared, the Sword Emperor was immediately thrown into confusion. The courage from before to face death was no longer present.

"Lei Ao, I beg of you, can you let my grandfather go?"

Gu Yue had a pleading expression on her face. It was obvious that this grandfather-grandson pair had deep feelings for each other. This made Lei Ao think of Sang Mo Village's Old Lei and the blade faction's Old Man Tiandao.

If it was him, he would also try his best to stop it.

But... His master's life and death was uncertain, the blade faction had tens of thousands of lives, and the cultivation world had the hatred of countless sects exterminating their sects …

There were too many factors that prevented Lei Ao from sympathizing with them. Tyrant Sword Pavilion would not perish, and they would not let down those sects that had been destroyed. The Sword Emperor would not die, and their master would not live.

"No, I can only let you go. The Sword Emperor must die."

Lei Ao looked at Gu Yue's strength. Five years had passed, yet he had only stepped into the Sixth Heavenly Layer. With this level of strength, he probably hadn't participated in the purge of the other sects.

Gu Yue said, "If you want to kill Grandfather, you have to kill me first. Otherwise, I'll definitely fight you to the death in the future."

"I'll wait." Lei Ao didn't pay any attention to him and exploded into a strong current of air that swept Gu Yue over a hundred miles away.

Following that, he said to the Sword Emperor, "You should know that no one can save the Tyrant Sword Pavilion today. Are you going to end it yourself or do you want me to take action?"

"Thank you for letting Yue Er go."

The Sword Emperor was a little surprised, he sighed and said, "In return, this old man will tell you a piece of news. Skyblade is not dead, he was taken away by the evil races, it seems like they want to force their way into his secrets."

Master is not dead?!

Lei Ao was shocked. He was about to ask further, but the Sword Emperor had already cut himself off.

The emperor of a generation, a formidable figure who dominated the world for half his life. He had accomplished more than half of his ambitions, but he had met Lei Ao. From then on, his life came to an end, and he had even lost his entire sect.

In reality, he did not know much about the evil races. As long as he could find the whereabouts of the beasts, the Tyrant Sword Pavilion would naturally lose their use of them.

At that time, they would only die an even more miserable death. They would even be used as sacrifices by the evil races in order to cause great destruction.

Lei Ao used his power to wrap around the Sword Emperor and did not let him fall. Then, he used the Sky Falling Palm Seal to create a huge crater in the ruins of the Immortal Restaurant, burying the Sword Emperor inside.

Gu Yue was forced to retreat and no longer chased after him. She was probably looking for a place to hide and cultivate so that she could take revenge on Lei Ao in the future.

As for the others from the Tyrant Sword Pavilion, Lei Ao no longer had the mood to pursue and kill them.

After this battle, from the Sword Emperor to the Elders Guild, almost none survived. The remaining people posed no threat to the other sects.

One could imagine the following days, with the blade faction as the leader, those remnants that had been oppressed began their counter-purge operation against the Tyrant Sword Pavilion.

As for the evil races, they seemed to have given up on the Immortal Alliance.

Lei Ao returned to Lin Yuan City and after discussing with the Saber Emperor, he set out on his journey to find the evil races.

As long as he knew that his master was still alive, regardless of whether it was a dragon lagoon or a tiger cave, he still had to give it a try.

Before leaving, he had instructed Huang Xin to take care of the blade faction. With Huang Xin's strength, she would be able to do this.

In the cultivation world, the sects that understood the Evil Dao Alliance the best were the Buddhist Sect and the Shang Ye Pavilion. Lei Ao's first target was the Heavencraft Pavilion.

Because he didn't know the location of the Buddhist Sect, not to mention the Shang clan, the Immortal Alliance rarely stepped foot into the Demon Area. Only when they found the Heavencraft Pavilion would they be in constant contact with other hidden sects.

"Holy shit, why did they only arrive now."

Seeing Lei Ao appear, Yi Zhen was not only not surprised, he even complained about how slow Lei Ao was.

"What's wrong?" Lei Ao was stunned for a moment. He didn't think that – really – he would be waiting for him halfway. He was still thousands of miles away from Heavencraft Pavilion.

"Come on, let's walk and talk." With that, Yi Zhen took the lead and flew towards the south.

"Where to?" Lei Ao was full of questions.

"Demonic Forest, come to think of it, you brat, you're really ruthless. You actually annihilated the Tyrant Sword Pavilion."

"Hmph, with their actions, it wouldn't be too much for them to be killed a hundred times. On the other hand, why didn't any of you take action when the other sects were facing a great calamity?"

Lei Ao was extremely dissatisfied. He knew that the hidden sects had the ability to save them but did not take any action.

"Don't be angry, do you know why I'm waiting for you on the way?"

"Why?"

"Because the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets no longer exists."

When the evil races had taken action against the various great sects of the Immortal Alliance, they did not let the hidden sects off either. Moreover, they had sent out even more experts.

Just like the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets and the Mao Mountain Sect, once they were ambushed, they would look after themselves.

Fortunately, although the ambush had been a bit chaotic, the hidden sects still had a deep background and quickly organized a counterattack.

After repelling the enemy, their casualties weren't great. The only pity was that their sect had been destroyed.

"So that's how it is. Then why are we going to the Demonic Forest?" Lei Ao nodded. This explanation made sense.

"Do you even need to ask? Of course we have to help that Barbaric Ox. This time, the Evil Dao Alliance is going all out. The pressure that Yao Lin is facing is extremely great."

"You also know that they are from the Evil Dao Alliance?"

"Nonsense, you can even think of that with your knees?"

"Then do you know what their goal is?"

"You know?" Yi Zhen immediately looked suspiciously at Lei Ao.

"I know one thing, when we destroyed the Sword Pavilion, there were two experts from the Evil Dao Alliance overseeing that area." Lei Ao said, "They are looking for vicious beasts. Their goal might be to stir up the destruction of the world."

"What?!" In his astonishment, he forgot to fly and almost fell from the sky. Stopping, he asked excitedly, "What is going on?"
