Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

"That's right. This sword isn't something you're worthy of possessing. If you know what's good for you, hand it over. I might even grant you a peaceful death. Otherwise, you'll die a very ugly one."

Hearing Yang Xiao's resigned words, Xiang Fengyun sneered.

"If you want it, then take it. I'm just afraid you won't live to enjoy it."

As he spoke, Yang Xiao gave a push and actually sent the Void Divine Sword flying out, its target none other than Xiang Fengyun.

They wanted it.

So Yang Xiao would naturally give it to them.

'Wouldn't I seem stingy otherwise?'

Seeing this, Xiang Fengyun was first overjoyed and reached out to grab the sword. But then, as if realizing something, he sneered, "Are you trying to trick me? Hmph! Am I, Xiang Fengyun, someone you can so easily deceive? Watch closely! Wind and Cloud Hand, catch!"

At this, Yang Xiao was too speechless to even roast him.

He simply remained silent.

Xiang Fengyun, however, looked as if he had seen right through Yang Xiao's scheme. As he raised his hand, countless motes of Wind and Cloud Power flickered, and in an instant, a multitude of Secret Patterns transformed from the Wind and Cloud Power covered his hand.

The black-and-white pattern looked quite strange.

It looked somewhat like scales.

Only after doing all this did the man seem to relax, raising his hand and grabbing for Yang Xiao's Void Divine Sword.

As he caught it, he boasted, "My Wind and Cloud Hand is a Secret Technique that has reached the Great Success stage of body protection with the Wind and Cloud Secret Pattern. Although my current comprehension of the Wind and Cloud Secret Pattern has only reached the Third Layer, it's more than enough to deal with you."

To this, Yang Xiao still had nothing to say.

'It's only the Third Layer of the Wind and Cloud Secret Pattern. What's so great about that?'

But while he thought it was nothing special, the others were all visibly impressed.

"The Third Layer of Secret Patterns? Brother Xiang, you truly are extraordinary! To think you reached such a realm so early on. No wonder you were able to advance to Daoist Tier Three at such a young age. We can't compare."

"Indeed. The Third Layer of Secret Patterns... This old man may have comprehended the Ninth Layer of Secret Patterns, but I'm still a step away from condensing the Heart of Secret Patterns and have been unable to enter the Void Immortal Realm. Back then, it took me a full three thousand years to comprehend the Third Layer of Secret Patterns. I truly cannot compare to Younger Brother Xiang's exceptional talent."

"Even Elder Zhang says so. Brother Xiang's talent is truly remarkable. Sigh... I wonder when I'll ever comprehend Secret Patterns. I haven't even grasped the First Layer yet."

"The Third Layer? I suppose it's passable."

In the end, even Qin Yuwei had spoken.

Yang Xiao was instantly shocked.

'Are these people really Dao Bodies?'

'To think they'd make such a big deal over the Third Layer of Secret Patterns. Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?'

What he didn't know was that these people were born on the Profound Sun Continent, where there were no experts at or above the True Immortal Level. Consequently, cultivation methods for Secret Patterns were the most precious treasures of all. No matter how talented these people were, without a cultivation method, they could only rely on themselves to comprehend Secret Patterns.

The fact that they could comprehend them at all was already quite impressive.

How could they possibly compare to him?

For instance, Qin Yuwei, the most talented of the group, was also only at the Third Layer of Secret Patterns.

And just as Yang Xiao was shaking his head in silence, feeling utterly disappointed, Xiang Fengyun finally got his hand on the Void Divine Sword.

By all appearances, nothing happened.

Instantly, everyone's gaze toward Yang Xiao turned a little strange.

"This guy didn't actually use any tricks? Is he here to be a clown?"

Xiang Fengyun, meanwhile, burst into uproarious laughter.

"I thought you would've put some kind of trap on the sword to use against me, but I never expected you to not even bother with that and just hand me a Treasure Weapon for free. Since you're so sensible, tell me, how should I reward you? How about I use this very sword—which originally belonged to you—to give you a death by a thousand cuts? Don't worry, I'll be careful. I absolutely won't let you die until I've sliced you three thousand times. See how good I am to you?"

As he finished, Xiang Fengyun's laughter grew even more delighted.

The others, aside from Qin Yuwei, all wore expressions of regret.

'If we'd known this guy was so brainless, we would have stepped forward to demand it long ago. This is a Treasure Weapon we're talking about! And just now, it even absorbed all of Xiang Fengyun's Wind and Cloud Power completely.'

'A Treasure Weapon like this is truly extraordinary. If they had a sword like that in their hands, their strength would probably soar.'

But now…

It was gone.

Xiang Fengyun got it for cheap. Oh, no, it would probably end up with Qin Yuwei.

But just as they were feeling utterly dejected…

Yang Xiao spoke up.

"Seeing those eager looks on your faces, don't tell me you want one too? If you want one, just say so. I'm not a stingy person. Here, one for each of you. Take them!"

As he spoke, seven more Void Divine Swords materialized and flew toward the seven of them.

The group was instantly dumbfounded.

'What is going on?'

'Is this guy an idiot?'

Endless questions appeared in their minds.

This was especially true for Xiang Fengyun, who had been the first to receive a Void Divine Sword.

His face was a mask of disbelief.

"Impossible! Don't fall for his trick! These swords must be different from the one in my hand. I don't believe that a lowly Martial Artist like him could have so many Treasure Weapons. Don't be fooled!"

However, he spoke a little too late.

The man with the lowest cultivation and weakest strength, being closest to Yang Xiao, had already subconsciously caught the Void Divine Sword flying toward him.

He caught it.

He caught it purely with his bare hands, unlike Xiang Fengyun, who had gone through a series of preparations and even used his Wind and Cloud Secret Pattern.

But just like before, nothing happened.

Moreover, the man sensed the terrifying power within it.

He couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"It's real! This sword is real! It's powerful, incredibly powerful! I feel like with this sword in hand, I could even contend with an ordinary Daoist Tier One existence!"

The man, a Sixth Level of Magic Rank cultivator, shouted.

At his shout, the others all rushed to grab the Void Divine Swords flying toward them.

Some were cautious, using various techniques like Xiang Fengyun had.

Others, however, caught them directly with their bare hands.

But without exception, nothing happened to any of them.

And they all sensed the power of the Void Divine Sword.

Every one of them was overjoyed.

Even Qin Yuwei was no exception.

A trace of pleasant surprise appeared on her cold, beautiful face.

However, she saw more than the others, and her reaction was faster.

Her figure flashed.

And she lunged toward Yang Xiao.

Because she thought, since Yang Xiao could so easily produce eight identical Treasure Weapons, could he have other treasures on him as well?

And with her move,

the others also reacted.

They all charged forward.

In the face of profit, even Xiang Fengyun no longer cared about Qin Yuwei.

As he frantically lunged at Yang Xiao, he actually threw a Wind and Cloud Palm at Qin Yuwei.

The others did the same.

A chaotic melee broke out.

Seeing this, Yang Xiao grew even more disappointed with this group.

He hadn't made a single move.

Just by using a few Void Divine Swords, he had caused them to fight among themselves like this.

Such temperament.

Such comprehension ability.

So what if they were all Dao Bodies?

In the future, their achievements wouldn't even match up to some Treasure Bodies with determined minds.

"Since you're all worthless, you can just explode for me!"

Yang Xiao's figure flashed as he dodged the group.

With a single thought,

the eight Void Divine Swords instantly exploded.

Eight successive waves of terrifying explosive power swept out.

The eight Preachers, all of whom were quite powerful,

were all sent tumbling.

Five of them were knocked unconscious directly.

The remaining three were also heavily wounded, with no strength left to fight.

At this, Yang Xiao let out a soft chuckle.

Because this was the correct way to use his Talent Treasure Technique.

It seemed the power wasn't too bad, after all.
