The dazzling Ming Che Sword Light shone, and Meng Lv felt an extremely strong warning in his heart.

He was granted power by the Evil God, and his Spiritual Power was second only to Guo Zhengjun within the Spirit Sword Association.

Meng Lv detected something amiss and retreated without hesitation. He was the Chief Priest, a figure exalted over everyone in the Spirit Sword Association.

His duty was to issue orders, not to fight desperately with an incredibly powerful swordsman.

Meng Lv retreated decisively and quickly. His figure flickered and he had already withdrawn into the room.

According to his orders, the bulletproof glass door automatically closed.

This high tower was actually Meng Lv's office building. As Chief Priest, Meng Lv owned the entire building, and everyone here was his subordinate.

Meng Lv's personal Light Computer could also control all the facilities of the building.

As Meng Lv retreated into the room, he had not even caught his breath when he saw the dazzling Sword Light dissipate, and Gao Xuan was already at the glass door.

Behind Gao Xuan lay splattered flesh, with four exoskeleton armors of Mad Swordsmen, all cut into two pieces, scattered on the platform.

Meng Lv's sharp eyes immediately noticed the smooth, mirror-like severance where the exoskeleton armors were cut.

It's important to know that the physical properties of titanium steel had reached the extreme limits of metal, and normally, no metal sword artifact could cut open a titanium steel armor.

Yet, the four Mad Swordsman armors were easily sliced open, indicating not just the sharpness of the opponent's sword artifact but also special power beyond physical limits.

Meng Lv couldn't help but glance at the Hongyi Sword in Gao Xuan's hand, its blade like a pool of autumn water with a hint of ripples.

This was at least a Silver Sword, possibly of an even higher level.

Meng Lv made this judgment and retreated swiftly and without hesitation. As he entered the elevator, he saw Gao Xuan break the glass door with a sword and rush inside.

At this moment, the elevator activated its high-speed mode and shot downward like a bullet.

Through the transparent glass door, Gao Xuan pointed at Meng Lv and said something.

Unfortunately, Meng Lv didn't hear it, nor was he in the mood to listen to what Gao Xuan had to say.

As the elevator shot out crazily, Gao Xuan was immediately left far behind.

Only then did Meng Lv breathe a sigh of relief. If he had been even a fraction of a second slower, he would have been done for.

The feeling of brushing shoulders with death was truly exhilarating.

Meng Lv took several deep breaths to calm his wildly beating heart.

Since gaining the Evil God's favor, he smoothly progressed without encountering much trouble.

With innate shrewdness, he quickly gained Guo Zhengjun's favor and became the Chief Priest.

In Cloud Province, life was extremely comfortable and leisurely, with endless wealth, endless beauties, and everyone showing him great respect.

Meng Lv had no more pursuits in life; his only duty was to cooperate with Guo Zhengjun and serve the Evil God well.

The Evil God had almost no requirements, allowing him to happily slack off every day.

His only thought was waiting for Guo Zhengjun to pass away so he could ascend as Sect Leader.

Honestly, Meng Lv was not very interested in the position of Sect Leader, which involved more responsibilities and jostling with noble families and the military, leading to exhaustion and danger.

Nothing was as comfortable as his current situation.

Meng Lv never imagined that the Evil God would encounter issues. After the Evil God released the last decree, His aura vanished completely.

Truthfully, all senior priests noticed this problem, causing widespread panic.

Without the support of the Evil God, what would they do?

Hence, they were determined to complete the tasks assigned by the Evil God at any cost, hoping to make the Evil God appear again.

In the end, this Gao Xuan was a hundred times stronger than he imagined.

The most elite forces of the Spirit Sword Association were wiped out in a single encounter. This wasn't a battle; it was a massacre.

Meng Lv was terrified; he must immediately discuss countermeasures with Guo Zhengjun.

This was the core area of the Spirit Sword Association. If Gao Xuan continued killing like this, all elite members of the Spirit Sword Association might be slaughtered by him.

If that happened, even if Gao Xuan was killed, the Spirit Sword Association would be destroyed.

The believers were foundational, but the elites were the core of the Spirit Sword Association.

Three minutes later, the elevator stopped.

Meng Lv exited from the other side of the elevator and immediately saw four exoskeleton armor warriors staring at him.

Meng Lv displayed the longsword in his hand with a stern face, and after the complex electronic key passed review, the four warriors finally let him through.

These four warriors were not robots; they just strictly adhered to the rules of the Spirit Sword Palace.

Anyone entering the Spirit Sword Palace must be scrutinized. Those without permission who trespass are punished by death without mercy.

Although the Spirit Sword Palace was an underground palace, its interior was extravagantly luxurious. Gold bricks were laid on the floor, exquisite murals adorned the walls, and various crystals were embedded in the dome.

In short, one word: Luxury.

However, Meng Lv also knew that such extravagance wasn't only for show; it had practical functions.

For example, those crystals could create special magnetic fields to shield against Spiritual Sensing.

The vast Spirit Sword Underground Palace had spent billions on these special crystals, and still, only the most important areas were covered.

Meng Lv hurried forward, almost running to the Profound Spirit Hall.

Despite the odd name, the Profound Spirit Hall was Guo Zhengjun's favorite place, reportedly capable of direct communication with the Evil God.

Meng Lv knew whole-heartedly that their belief was in the Evil God. It mattered not, as long as power was granted, even a dung heap would be acceptable.

The Profound Spirit Hall was entirely constructed of special metals, maximizing the concentration of Source Power while keeping the spirit in a profound state.

More importantly, it was safe enough. Once the door was closed, it isolated inside from outside, with a structure capable of withstanding most attacks.

Someone was already waiting for Meng Lv at the gate, and as soon as Meng Lv came in, the door slammed shut.

Only at this moment did Meng Lv truly breathe a sigh of relief.

That Gao Xuan is the Golden Sword Saint, but he shouldn't hope to easily charge into the Profound Spirit Hall.

Guo Zhengjun, exceptionally dressed in a luxurious golden magic robe, sat gracefully under the statue, with the Sin-Slaying Sword lying horizontally on the sword rack beside him.

His eyes were bright yet serene, his demeanor composed, exuding the aura of a grandmaster.

Meng Lv, initially a bit panicked, calmed down upon seeing Guo Zhengjun. He tidied his clothes and bowed deeply to Guo Zhengjun: "Apologies for my incompetence, Sect Leader, please punish me."

Although Meng Lv was the chief priest, he was nurtured single-handedly by Guo Zhengjun.

In front of Guo Zhengjun, he had no choice but to call himself a disciple.

"It's not your fault; Gao Xuan is just too strong."

Guo Zhengjun appeared magnanimous, treating Meng Lv with kindness as well, "This person's swordsmanship has surpassed the limit; he must be a Silver Sword Hero. His physical body is exceptionally resilient, able to withstand overpowering forces..." Spo!t an er&ro^r?. Vi%s-i+t the o^rig@[email protected]# p$ost on M&.VL-E#M.PY+&&R@.

Having lived for three hundred years, Guo Zhengjun had ventured through the Central Star Realm in his early years, with insight and vision far superior to Meng Lv.

The battle between Gao Xuan and everyone else had been captured on video, and Guo Zhengjun, after watching it, realized Gao Xuan was indeed terrifying.

Not only Meng Lv but even if he faced Gao Xuan himself, he had little chance of victory.

"Sect Leader, what shall we do?" Meng Lv asked.

Guo Zhengjun said gently, "Don't panic; we'll just wait for Gao Xuan in the Spirit Sword Palace."

"He might not be able to find this place, right?"

Meng Lv hesitated a little; the Spirit Sword Underground Palace was so hidden, with so many shielding defenses, how could Gao Xuan find his way here without someone to guide him?

"Isn't there you to lead the way?" Guo Zhengjun said slowly.

Meng Lv was startled and quickly defended, "Sect Leader, I didn't—"

Guo Zhengjun raised his hand, "No need to explain; this matter isn't related to you. It's just that Gao Xuan intentionally let you lead the way."

Meng Lv was somewhat bewildered, not knowing how he had become a guide.

"Gao Xuan placed a thread of Sword Intent on you, or something else, anyway, he can sense your location."

Guo Zhengjun didn't care about such details, as Gao Xuan was already following.

He opened a virtual light screen, showing Gao Xuan already following the elevator path straight down, almost reaching the entrance of the underground palace.

In truth, the internal structure of this elevator path was extremely complex, with many routes. The escape routes for Meng Lv had long been sealed off.

Without the necessary permissions, the pathways controlled by the Light Computer wouldn't allow passage.

However, Gao Xuan disregarded all of this, as if he knew the route, regardless of any obstacle, he simply slashed through it with a sword.

The alloy gates, the labyrinth-like curved pipes, battle robots, even self-destructing bombs, couldn't harm Gao Xuan in the slightest.

Watching this part of the video, Gao Xuan appeared like a smoothly skilled gamer passing levels, easily avoiding all dangers and cutting through all obstacles.

As an observer, Meng Lv felt Gao Xuan's movements were as smooth as silk.

This kind of video, surprisingly pleasant to watch, even felt very stress-relieving.

"What did you notice?" Guo Zhengjun asked.

"Gao Xuan seems to have a rhythm. No matter how critical the situation is, he can always tackle it gracefully. His movements are elegant and ethereal between motion and stillness."

Meng Lv, after all, being a top swordsman, could calmly think and see some things while watching the video.

"Well said."

Guo Zhengjun nodded to express praise; although Meng Lv was relatively timid, his insight was good.

"Ultimately, Gao Xuan demonstrated extraordinary control. Everything under control allows one to confront calmly. This Gao Xuan is truly formidable."

Guo Zhengjun lightly sighed; Gao Xuan was so powerful that even he found him troublesome.

However, in Cyan Cloud City, in the Spirit Sword Underground Palace, regardless of Gao Xuan's capabilities, he must die.

At that moment, the brilliant sword light flashed, slicing through the nearly meter-thick door of the underground palace with a penetrating sword mark.

The sword light flashed again, and the middle of the door blew open with a loud collapse, forming a large hole.

Meng Lv's eyes widened to the extreme, and through the high-speed camera, he could see clearly. Gao Xuan instantly slashed out dozens of sword strikes, each penetrating the door. Thus, he forcibly smashed through the thick door to create a large opening.

It's important to know that the entrance to the underground palace was forged from special Red Steel metal, with a meter thickness, its hardness far exceeding exoskeleton armor.

After all, no matter how sturdy a few centimeters of armor can be, it can't compare to a meter-thick piece of special metal.

But under Gao Xuan's sword, both were no different from tofu.

Meng Lv exclaimed, "The Sword Artifact in his hand is really amazing, truly indestructible."

Guo Zhengjun smiled slightly, "After we kill Gao Xuan, this sword will be yours."

Meng Lv froze for a moment before hastily bowing in gratitude. But he was somewhat doubtful, with Guo Zhengjun looking so confident, what trump card did he have?

He had followed Guo Zhengjun for almost a hundred years, considering himself quite knowledgeable about this sect leader. He truly didn't know that Guo Zhengjun wielded such powerful force!

At this moment, the automatic battle robots that had long been lying in ambush at the underground palace entrance were already open fire.

Over a dozen battle robots all equipped with heavy rapid-fire twelve-barreled machine guns. Driven by miniature nuclear batteries, the machine guns could shoot a hundred and twenty bullets per second.

Each robot carried a huge ammo box on its back, filled with thousands of caseless bullets.

All the battle robots fired together, the metal storm created by the bullets blanketed the entire area where Gao Xuan was located.

The powerful penetration power of the metal bullets even left deep bullet marks on the thick iron doors. The ground and walls shattered under the bombardment of bullets.

Amid the roar of the machine guns, dust and smoke flew everywhere, flames bursting forth.

Watching the video, Meng Lv's eyes were wide open; he couldn't believe anyone could survive such shooting.
