At this moment, the eerie bird calls echoed ceaselessly, like a prelude to death — the mere sound of them was enough to make one shudder.
And those strange birds were weaving through the army, constantly piercing through the chests of the Immortal Slaying Archipelago's forces and the experts of the three great demon clans. Each time they passed through a body, they didn't just spray massive blossoms of blood — they also claimed their lives.
"Damn it, this forbidden martial art is too powerful! We can't stop it at all! Ancestor, what should we do?" Murong Nie Kong's brows were tightly knitted. Though he was a fifth-tier Martial King and formidable in his own right, he was simply no match for the Ethereal Fairy.
In truth, not just him — even if
"To catch bandits, first capture their king. And here you are, supposed to be sect masters, yet you don't even understand such a basic principle." Just then,
In his hands, he held a thick, ancient book — the very same book that had previously transformed into the towering gate. Now he had retracted the grand formation and was watching
"
"I was only responsible for breaking the formation. I never said I'd help you deal with this old woman."
"Hmph, don't you dare think we can't handle things without you."
The three-foot azure blade looked ordinary enough, but the moment it appeared, the winds and clouds shifted. A domineering, kingly oppressive might descended from the heavens. Even
"Human-Forbidden Illusory Sword Technique!!!"
BOOM!
With the King Weapon drawn,
Though both were Human-Forbidden Martial Arts, the one
Setting aside the fact that his technique focused its attack on a single point — concentrating and amplifying the formidable forbidden power — the most critical factor was that his Human-Forbidden Martial Art was infused with the power of the King Weapon.
A King Weapon was forged specifically for Martial King powerhouses. In their hands, it could unleash truly devastating, destructive power. By all reason, a Martial King wielding a King Weapon should be able to sweep through anything, as no martial art could match the raw might of the King Weapon.
But

Upon seeing
Once the white silk appeared, it rapidly expanded, swelling into a sky-blotting, earth-covering mass. Coiling like a wild python around the heavens, it wrapped itself around
The spectacle left everyone stunned — but the most shocking sight was yet to come. The white silk suddenly constricted, and with a thunderous boom, the already-formed Human-Forbidden Illusory Sword Technique was utterly pulverized.
"Impossible! The Human-Forbidden Illusory Sword Technique our Ancestor unleashed is the pinnacle of martial arts! Such a technique should be able to cleave through everything — how could it be shattered so easily?"
"That's no ordinary white silk. It's a King Weapon — the Ethereal Fairy simply concealed its King Weapon aura. But in reality, her power has already been enhanced." Murong Nie Kong explained.
"But even if it is a King Weapon, it shouldn't have been able to dismantle the Ancestor's Human-Forbidden Illusory Sword Technique so easily. After all, that technique was powered by the Ancestor's own King Weapon!"
"This…" Murong Nie Kong was also taken aback, not knowing how to respond.
"A stupid question." Just then,
"What do you mean by that?"
"Both sides wield King Weapons. The other side was able to dismantle your Ancestor's attack using only the King Weapon's own power. Do you still not understand what that means?"
"It means that old woman's strength surpasses your Ancestor's. Your Ancestor is in grave danger right now — because he is simply no match for her,"
"Nonsense! My Ancestor has cultivated for nearly a thousand years! His strength is so immense that even a seventh-tier Martial King might not be his equal — how could he possibly not be a match for the Ethereal Fairy?"
"Did your Ancestor ever tell you not to speak to me in that tone?" Though
Step, step, step. Upon seeing that killing intent,
"Xun'er, watch your manners!" Murong Nie Kong quickly steadied
Everyone was stunned by Murong Nie Kong's reaction — they couldn't understand why the illustrious master of the Immortal Slaying Archipelago, a fifth-tier Martial King, would be so afraid of
But
He dared not refuse to apologize. In that previous moment, he had seen two words in
This person was too terrifying — the most horrifying individual he had ever encountered. Even the usually arrogant and untameable
