From the moment the Tiger Soul awakened, I became invincible.

Chapter 169: Raging Wave Sword Master

Returning to the Origin Sword Realm.

The convergence of various forces has made the Guiyuan Sword Realm exceptionally lively. Numerous powerful individuals are present. Although the Guiyuan Sword Realm was already quite strong, the number of powerful figures arriving from all sides has far exceeded its limits.

Qin Wu also led his people into the Guiyuan Sword Realm for the first time.

Upon arriving at the Guiyuan Sword Realm, they were greeted and invited inside. Qin Wu, though wary, did not refuse. He was well aware of the conflict between himself and Shi Guantao, the Master of the Raging Waves Sword. Shi Guantao undoubtedly wanted to kill him, and he wanted to kill Shi Guantao as well. However, even if Shi Guantao wanted to act, it would never be in such a public and aboveboard manner.

Not long after, a man who looked not very old and carried a sharp sword walked up to Qin Wu and the others.

The man's face was cold, especially his expression when he looked at Qin Wu, which carried a hint of killing intent. However, a smile quickly appeared on his face, and he spoke calmly.

"Are you all fellow practitioners from Tianwu Mountain?"

Thank you all for coming. My Guiyuan Sword Realm is currently inadequate. According to our intelligence, at least two True Martial Realm level demons have appeared within the Guiyuan Sword Realm.

Such a powerful demon is simply beyond the capabilities of my current Guiyuan Sword Realm. Therefore, I have no choice but to ask for your help. I have long heard that Guiyuan Sword Realm once dealt with a demon that had reached the True Martial Realm; I'm sure you can help my Guiyuan Sword Realm resolve this trouble.

Qin Wu and the others didn't pay much attention to his words. However, soon after, an elder stepped forward and spoke.

"It's really not worthy of such praise. Although we did deal with a demon who had already reached the True Martial Realm before, it was only by taking a shortcut and barely breaking through with the help of the formation. It was far from being comparable to a true True Martial Realm demon. It was the Guiyuan Sword Realm that defeated a powerful demon who had already reached the True Martial Realm. Such combat power is truly awe-inspiring."

After saying that, the elder spoke again.

"I wonder how the Thunder Sword Ancestor of the Returning Origin Sword Realm is doing now? I heard he suffered serious injuries in that battle."

The man carrying the long sword spoke.

"The Thunder Sword Ancestor has indeed suffered serious injuries and will probably be unable to fight for a while. However, in the time to come, my Guiyuan Sword Realm will definitely go all out to deal with the demon race."

Although two powerful True Martial Realm demons have broken through, my Guiyuan Sword Realm is no pushover either. Moreover, many of my fellow cultivators have already arrived. I believe that even if those True Martial Realm demons reappear, they will definitely not be able to wreak havoc on the Guiyuan Sword Realm.

Even without the Thunderclap Sword Master, with me, the Raging Wave Sword Master, here, it's the same.

When announcing his name, Shi Guan, the Sword Master of Raging Waves, glanced at Qin Wu. Their eyes met, and they both saw the coldness in each other's eyes.

Qin Wu had already guessed the man's identity. After all, the moment Qin Wu saw him, he sensed a remarkable sword intent emanating from him. Although this sword intent was very powerful, it also seemed somewhat immature and didn't quite match the man's overall aura.

Qin Wu had already deduced at that time that the sword intent on this person probably did not belong to him, and was currently being continuously refined.

This kind of inheritance is an extremely rare method, and it doesn't even exist on Tianwu Mountain. However, it has existed in Guiyuan Sword Realm for hundreds of years. It is precisely because of this inheritance of swordsmanship that Guiyuan Sword Realm has been able to maintain its strength for so long.

The Seven Great Sword Ancestors have never been missing a single one, and in addition to the Seven Great Sword Ancestors, there are other powerful figures as well.

Upon hearing his name, the elder who had been speaking was immediately startled, then glanced at Qin Wu without making a sound. As the most senior elder here, he was naturally aware of the conflict between Qin Wu and the Sword Master of Raging Waves, so he immediately realized that Shi Guantao was definitely not here with good intentions. Fortunately, he quickly calmed down, took a deep breath, and then spoke.

"In that case, I hope we can work together to deal with these demons in the True Martial Realm."

However, despite his words, his voice had become much colder. Tianwu Mountain had always been on the same side as Qin Wu, so naturally he wouldn't give Shi Guantao a very friendly look.

The other factions were also largely aware of the conflict between them. Many people might not be aware of the conflict between Qin Wu and Guiyuan Sword Realm, but there had been many disputes between Tianwu Mountain and Guiyuan Sword Realm before.

The attitudes of both sides at this moment were not surprising. However, they were somewhat surprised. Was Shi Guantao, who was at the Guiyuan Sword Realm, going a bit too far? After all, Tianwu Mountain had come to help them at the Guiyuan Sword Realm, and Tianwu Mountain was quite powerful, especially that kid named Qin Wu.

All eyes turned to Qin Wu, especially after seeing the almost uncontrollable surging aura emanating from him, their expressions became even more sharp.

To be able to kill someone at the True Martial Realm without even reaching it—such strength and talent indicate that this young man will undoubtedly become a true powerhouse in the future.

However, they don't have much time to worry about these things now, since the situation in the Great Zhou is quite bad. For them, the most important thing is to get through this crisis first.

During this period, not only the Guiyuan Sword Realm, but also their own localities were attacked by the enemy. Many demons rampaged within their sect's territory. If it weren't for the disciples' desperate fighting, they would probably have already fallen by now.

Even so, changing the current situation is extremely difficult. Therefore, their personal grudges are no longer important to them.

Someone stood up, chuckled, and then spoke.

"That's natural. Our goal is to resolve the problem of the demon race. The human race and the demon race are irreconcilable enemies. We only hope that the Guiyuan Sword Realm can provide clues as soon as possible so that we can learn more about the True Martial Realm demon beast and take appropriate measures."

After hearing these words, Shi Guantao stopped looking at Qin Wu, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"To be honest, we in the Guiyuan Sword Realm don't know much about the demon race either. We only know that one of them flies extremely fast, clearly a flying demon. The other is powerful and heavy, and most importantly, it can burrow underground at crucial moments."

Besides these two True Martial Realm demon races, there are many other demon races, including quite a few at the True Self Realm.

Moreover, they haven't shown up for a while, and we strongly suspect that these demons may have formed a massive army. If so, dealing with them with our current strength will likely be no easy task.

As he said this, he noticed the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, but inwardly he was secretly sneering.

It's true that two True Martial Realm demons have appeared here, but it's not as simple as others think. Without his intervention, how could two True Martial Realm demons have appeared? Because these two True Martial Realm demons were also created through blood sacrifice.

But so what? As long as he could kill Qin Wu, he didn't care about paying these prices.

As for other things, he didn't care at all. As long as he could kill Qin Wu, he could obtain the secrets of this boy from Qin Wu and he would definitely be able to surpass his current level. Perhaps he would even have a chance to become an existence above the True Martial Realm.

Once he becomes a Martial Saint, the entire human race will have to treat him with utmost respect, and only then can he reach his peak.

He simply couldn't believe that someone like Qin Wu, who could reach the True Martial Realm combat power so quickly, wouldn't have some special trump card up his sleeve. He was determined to obtain that trump card and transform it into his own strength.

Over the next few days, various forces began investigating the presence of True Martial Realm demons within the Guiyuan Sword Realm. However, most of this information turned out to be unfounded. Although everyone searched for traces of these demons, most of what they found were just ordinary demons. While there were quite a few True Self Realm demons among them, their strength was ultimately not very high.

But the more this was the case, the more alarmed everyone became, because Shi Guantao had made it very clear before that, according to their investigation, what had appeared now was not just a few simple demons, but very likely a large number of demons gathered together.

However, the current situation is that these demons have not appeared on a large scale at all. What this means is self-evident. These demons must be preparing a major operation to deal with them.

Fortunately, the people who came to our aid this time were quite strong, including a True Martial Realm expert.

Furthermore, Qin Wu had previously possessed the combat power to kill someone at the True Martial Realm, so everyone was very confident about this opportunity.

A few days later, news suddenly reached everyone's ears: a large number of demons had appeared in a remote town. The town was already deserted, littered with corpses. However, the specific details were still unknown. Upon hearing this news, everyone was shocked. They never expected to find demons here, especially since this was the heart of the Guiyuan Sword Realm.

The appearance of demons at this location was extremely dangerous. However, without hesitation, everyone rushed over to deal with the situation. Not only them, but many powerful figures, including Qin Wu and others, also arrived at the scene.

It's not surprising that traces of demons appeared in the heart of the Guiyuan Sword Realm, but the massacre of an entire town is a huge problem.

Qin Wu immediately thought of the demon race that had slaughtered the town on Tianwu Mountain and even used humans as blood sacrifices.

Perhaps these demon races are doing the same thing, but the fact that two True Martial Realm demon races are involved suggests that this time the scale is much larger than before. Thinking of this, Qin Wu's expression changed slightly.

With everyone hurrying along, they arrived at the town in less than half a day.

As Qin Wu had expected, the town was already surrounded by a crimson array. The moment they saw the array, everyone's expression changed drastically; they never imagined such a terrifying situation would occur in this place. Fortunately, they still possessed sufficient power.

Almost simultaneously, everyone attacked the town, a powerful force surging towards it. They didn't hesitate at all; they now believed they had the absolute power to surround the enemy, so there was no way they would hold back. Whatever these demons wanted to do, as long as they could break in, they could easily solve the remaining problems. Holding back, on the other hand, could potentially create unnecessary trouble.

Qin Wu wasn't worried about this direct, headstrong approach. He shared the same thought: regardless of Shi Guantao's intentions, they now possessed greater power. Therefore, there was no need for such troublesome matters. Rather than resorting to underhanded tactics, it was better to confront them head-on and resolve the issue through straightforward confrontation.

Shi Guantao followed beside the group, his expression calm, though his face betrayed his anger, as if he knew nothing of the situation. But in reality, no one knew the details of the town better than him.

Before they knew it, the group had reached the mountain town. Upon entering the town, their expressions changed drastically once again. The number of demons around them far exceeded their expectations, and their strength was also much greater than they had anticipated.

The True Martial Realm expert's expression immediately changed, and he spoke up. Something seemed amiss here. How could the enemy's numbers be so great? These demon race members shouldn't all be gathered here; what are they doing here?

His expression was very strange, because in his view, this was simply impossible. After all, this was a blessed land of the Guiyuan Sword Realm. If there really were so many demons here, theoretically, it would be impossible for things to have developed to this point. But reality was just like that, which was enough to prove that something unexpected had happened here, and there might even be some problems involved.

Thinking of this, his gaze immediately turned to Shi Guantao. However, Shi Guantao merely glanced at him indifferently before looking away, as if he knew nothing about the matter. The True Boundless Realm expert could only frown and regain his composure. Regardless, their immediate priority was to resolve the situation within the town. Qin Wu, however, remained calm throughout.

It seems...

Just as he had expected, the Sword Master of Raging Waves indeed made his move, unwilling to give up.
