I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons

"All of you, listen up!"

Hei Ri soared through the sky, his bony finger pointing toward the distant Lu Family estate. "Don’t leave a single one alive later!"

"Especially that old undying Lu Jiahe; the Sect Leader specifically wants his head!"

"Yes, Elder Hei Ri!"

The disciples responded in unison, their eyes gleaming with bloodlust.

They swiftly pierced through the sky and soon hovered above the Lu Family estate.

Hei Ri harnessed the Gang Yuan within his body, his voice resounding like thunder throughout Qingyun County.

"People of the Lu Family, come out and meet your death!"

"From today on, Qingyun County will be the territory of my Lanhai Sect!"

Hei Ri’s arrogant laughter echoed above the county, startling the birds into flight.

As a martial artist with Minor Success in External Gang Grandmaster, Hei Ri didn’t regard the Lu Family at all.

The Lu Family estate remained silent, Hei Ri sneered and waved his hand: "Smash it for me!"

Dozens of fierce Sword Qi crashed down, but when they reached three zhang above the Lu family’s roofs, they were suddenly blocked by an invisible barrier.

The terrifying Sword Qi entered like mud into the sea, not even causing a ripple.

"What’s going on?"

Hei Ri’s face changed suddenly, just as he was about to strike again, he saw the Lu family’s main door slowly open.

An old man with a white beard and dressed in a green robe emerged with hands behind his back; it was the Patriarch of the Lu Family, Lu Yun’an.

"Alas, you outsiders are truly incorrigible."

Hei Ri, hearing those words from Lu Yun’an, flared up in anger, feeling immensely humiliated: "You ant, you seek death!"

Hei Ri fiercely summoned a ghostly-blue dagger, transforming it into a stream of light aimed straight for Lu Yun’an’s heart.

However, just as the dagger reached halfway, a small sword of black-gold flame suddenly appeared in Lu Yun’an’s palm.

With a casual wave from Lu Yun’an—

"Boom!"

A flame beam spanning the heavens and earth exploded forth, and before Hei Ri could even let out a scream, he was reduced to ash in the terrifying wave of flames.

The lingering waves of flames showed no sign of stopping, incinerating over ten Lanhai Sect disciples in the sky completely.

After the flame pillar dissipated, the entire sky above Qingyun County had turned into a sea of black-gold flames.

The next morning, the sky above the city of White Dao Prefecture was clear.

In the grand hall of the Lanhai Sect, the purple-robed Sect Leader was discussing and drinking tea with his three brothers.

The red-haired burly man laughed and slapped the table: "Big brother, that Hei Ri has been gone for so long, he must have slaughtered the Lu Family completely..."

Before he finished speaking, the entire grand hall suddenly shook violently.

The four men looked up in astonishment, only to see a black-gold flame pillar with a diameter of a hundred zhang plummeting down like divine retribution from the firmament!

"What is this..."

"What the hell is this thing!"

The purple-robed Sect Leader’s pupils shrank suddenly; he hadn’t even had time to summon his protective artifact before the world-ending flame wave engulfed the entire grand hall.

Faced with absolute power, the defense of the four Divine Mansion Realms shattered like thin paper.

They didn’t even manage to let out a scream before their bodies were obliterated in the world-scouring flames.

The black-gold flame pillar lasted precisely for three breaths.

When the black-gold flame waves dispersed, the once magnificent grand hall of the Lanhai Sect had long turned into a charred pit with a diameter of a thousand zhang.

On the vitrified rocks at the bottom of the pit, four humanoid shadows were faintly discernible—the last remnants the four Divine Mansion Realms had left in the world.

More chillingly, buildings within a radius of ten miles were completely unscathed.

It seemed this earth-shattering flame pillar was so precise that it only executed the prime culprits and some core members of the Lanhai Sect.

Far away at the Lu Family in Qingyun County.

Lu Yun’an looked toward the direction of White Dao Prefecture, gently stroking the small sword of black-gold flame fading from his palm.

"Big brother’s methods... are truly beyond the comprehension of gods and ghosts."
