Old Ghost Wei’s expression darkened at once.
"Good. Since you are so eager to suffer, I will grant your wish."
As his voice fell, he uttered a string of strange and sinister syllables.
Hiss!
The Black Venom Snake beside him moved first. Its body rapidly expanded, and its mouth opened wide before spraying terrifying venom toward Li Yun. The poison poured across the arena like a storm of black rain, carrying a foul and suffocating aura.
Almost at the same time, the Dark Tail Scorpion raised its tail. A venomous needle as black as ink shot out with terrifying speed, turning into a faint blur as it pierced through the air.
The Three-Legged Corpse Toad erupted with sickly green light and leaped toward Li Yun with astonishing force, clearly intending to crush him head-on.
Behind them, the Black Curse Spider and the Hundred-Legged Venom Centipede also began moving.
Thick white silk threads shot through the air like chains, while the centipede’s countless legs released a ghastly light. Strange eyes opened along each leg, and beams of eerie radiance began gathering inside them.
The five venomous beasts attacked together with flawless coordination.
In an instant, the entire arena was filled with a suffocating evil aura.
Many spectators below the stage changed expression.
The Devouring Extinction Five Venom Beasts were infamous for a reason. Even before their hidden abilities had been fully displayed, the pressure they created together was already enough to overwhelm most opponents.
Yet Li Yun remained standing in place.
He did not move immediately.
He only looked at Old Ghost Wei and the five venomous beasts with calm eyes.
Then, slowly, he released his aura.
Boom!
A terrifying crimson pressure erupted from Li Yun’s body like an awakening sea of blood.
The entire arena trembled.
An invisible wave of slaughter swept in every direction, causing the expressions of countless spectators to change violently. Those with weaker cultivation felt their breathing grow heavy. Some sword cultivators even felt the swords at their waists tremble instinctively, as though they had encountered a supreme existence born for slaughter.
"It is that Sword Intent again."
"Slaughter Sword Intent."
An old expert in the crowd inhaled sharply and said in disbelief, "Seventy percent mastery at the Xiantian Stage. Li Yun has released that terrifying Slaughter Sword Intent again."
The moment those words were spoken, the surrounding crowd erupted into commotion.
Even those who had already seen Li Yun use this Sword Intent against Absolute Sword Path could not remain calm now.
The pressure released by seventy percent Slaughter Sword Intent was simply too terrifying. It did not merely oppress the body. It seemed to invade the mind, shake the heart, and drag people into a sea of corpses and blood.
The five venomous beasts that had been charging forward paused for the briefest moment.
Even these vicious creatures sensed danger.
Old Ghost Wei’s face changed slightly.
He had heard about Li Yun’s battle against Absolute Sword Path, but hearing about it and personally witnessing it were two completely different things.
Even so, he quickly sneered.
"So what if your Sword Intent is strong?" he said with a malicious grin. "In front of my Devouring Extinction Five Venom Beasts, your sword is useless."
As he spoke, he took out a short bone flute and began to play it.
The strange and low sound spread across the arena like the whisper of ghosts.
Under the influence of the flute, the Black Venom Snake, Dark Tail Scorpion, Three-Legged Corpse Toad, Black Curse Spider, and Hundred-Legged Venom Centipede became even more ferocious. Their evil aura rose sharply, and their eyes shone with savage bloodlust.
The Black Venom Snake sprayed a second wave of venom.
The Black Curse Spider shot out countless white threads.
The Hundred-Legged Venom Centipede unleashed a storm of sinister beams.
The Dark Tail Scorpion and the Three-Legged Corpse Toad attacked from the front at the same time.
The five beasts moved together once more, and this time, the pressure they created was even more terrifying than before.
Old Ghost Wei laughed coldly.
"Li Yun, let me see how you plan to survive this."
Li Yun simply raised his sword.
His expression did not change.
His Slaughter Sword Intent grew even denser, until the entire arena seemed to transform into an ancient battlefield buried beneath mountains of corpses.
Then he spoke.
"Ten Thousand Slaughter Sword Art."
The instant those words fell, the crimson Slaughter Sword Intent around him boiled violently.
One crimson Sword Qi appeared beside him.
Then another appeared.
Then another emerged.
Within a single breath, dozens of blood-red slaughter swords had formed around him. In the next breath, the number multiplied rapidly. Hundreds of small crimson swords floated around Li Yun. Each one was only a few feet long, yet each radiated terrifying slaughter aura and astonishing killing power.
The sight was breathtaking, yet it was also terrifying.
Every crimson sword seemed born solely to harvest life.
The surrounding space twisted faintly under the pressure they released.
Old Ghost Wei’s smile stiffened.
The five venomous beasts also let out uneasy shrieks.
Li Yun pointed his sword forward.
"Go."
Hundreds of slaughter swords shot forward at the same time.
The sky above the arena turned crimson.
The slaughter swords did not rush out chaotically. Each one moved with shocking precision and chose its own target. Some shot toward the venom rain, some pierced through the white silk threads, some met the sinister beams of the centipede head-on, and the rest descended upon the five venomous beasts like divine punishment.
The venom rain was split apart in an instant.
The white threads were shredded before they could approach Li Yun.
The sinister beams were crushed one after another like fragile glass.
Then came the slaughter.
The Black Venom Snake hissed sharply as more than a dozen slaughter swords pierced straight through its massive body. Its scales shattered, black blood sprayed everywhere, and the terrifying Slaughter Sword Qi invaded its flesh without restraint, destroying all vitality within.
The Dark Tail Scorpion tried to raise its tail and block, but a rain of crimson swords descended. Its stinger was cut off, its shell was pierced, and its entire body was torn apart.
The Three-Legged Corpse Toad leaped high into the air, yet before it could even get close to Li Yun, several slaughter swords struck it at once. Its body exploded in midair and turned into a rain of blood.
The Black Curse Spider tried to retreat while spraying more threads, but the slaughter swords were faster. In only a moment, its silk sacs were shredded, its limbs were severed, and its body was nailed to the ground before being torn apart completely.
The Hundred-Legged Venom Centipede had the strongest vitality of them all. Even after being pierced by multiple swords, it still writhed violently and tried to struggle.
But dozens more slaughter swords descended at once, cutting apart its legs, piercing through its body, and erasing its final trace of life.
The entire process lasted only a few breaths.
Then silence fell.
