  At this time, Lie Teng was staring at the black-clothed youth on the stage below. The youth's appearance was ordinary, but his knife-like eyebrows seemed like divine weapons, and his eyes were hidden with a hint of yin energy. This youth was not simple; he held a five-foot-long ink-black greatsword that was an upper-grade spiritual artifact. However, this person wielded the sword with a certain level of mastery, unleashing power that was in no way inferior to the true artifact. Lie Teng felt that this person's cultivation must have reached the peak of the fourth layer of Gathering Spirit, and he had consecutively killed two cultivators.

  After weighing the pros and cons, Lie Tong flew towards the arena on his sword. Although he came mainly for the soul, he also wanted to gain more combat experience. As the sixth prince, Lie Tong had fought many battles before, but there was a huge difference between the attacks of cultivators and warriors. Except for agility, Lie Tong couldn't use many warrior moves when fighting against cultivators. As soon as he arrived above the arena, his green sword hummed and shot out from under his feet. Lie Tong slowly descended to the ground, with the Heaven-Defying Shield appearing in his hand. Five Phantom Swords condensed and shot towards the black-clad youth. In this month of battles, Lie Tong had forced the phantom swords to condense into five.

  Six swords came together, and the black-clad youth's emotions didn't fluctuate in the slightest. He raised an eyebrow, and the large knife in his hand emitted a faint glow as he rapidly charged towards the six swords. With one swift slash, he cut through Lieteng's five phantom swords, shattering them into pieces. At this moment, Qingjian was already within arm's reach. The youth remained calm, as if he had rehearsed countless times how to counter Lieteng's attack in his mind. His large knife made a casual turn, and the blade blocked the tip of Qingjian. The power contained within Qingjian forced the youth to retreat three steps. Meanwhile, Lieteng rapidly closed in, two black beads appearing in his hand as he swiftly swung them towards the youth. These beads were obtained by Lieteng ten days ago from a cultivator he had killed. They contained compressed spiritual energy that could cause an explosion when activated, with unpredictable power. Qingjian followed closely behind the two beads, attacking the black-clad youth together.

  The young man in black furrowed his brow, and a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes. Suddenly, he whispered: "Knife Array!" He held the knife with both hands and inserted it into the ground, and the dark light of the knife flickered, and dozens of black knives flew out from the knife. After counting carefully, there were exactly thirty knives. The young man sat down cross-legged, and as his hands controlled them, the flying black knives emitted a humming noise, dancing in the air towards Lie Teng.

  "Bang! Bang!" A few muffled sounds, and the two black beads were directly blasted open by the Black Knife. The Green Sword was also struck by the Black Knife, repeatedly repelled, and Lie Teng's expression changed slightly as he looked at the Black Knife in surprise. He felt that these Black Knives were not real objects, similar to an illusory sword, but different. As the black-clad youth let out a low shout, the Black Knives suddenly struck towards Lie Teng, like a rain of knives. Faced with thirty Black Knives, Lie Teng had no choice but to take them seriously. The defensive shield in his hand suddenly grew larger, reaching half a meter in size, blocking the attack of the Black Knives in front of him.

  The youth in black didn't take the Heaven-Defying Shield seriously. In his mind, it was just an ordinary defensive spirit artifact that couldn't withstand his Black Blade's attacks for long. Thirty Black Blades struck simultaneously, producing a deafening crash, but the Heaven-Defying Shield stood firm like an impenetrable fortress. However, the shield could only defend against one side. Seeing that his Black Blades couldn't break through the shield for the time being, the youth in black lost patience and had some of the blades attack Lie Tong's back instead.

  This made Lie Tong's scalp feel numb, and surrounding Hei Dao would undoubtedly put himself in a predicament.

  On the stone steps, Yan Yunlong stared at Lie Teng, revealing a hint of regret and expectation in his eyes. For this month, Yan Yunlong had been staring at Lie Teng, whose rapid growth left him extremely astonished. In less than a month, he would raise his one-way fantasy sword to five ways, which undoubtedly meant that Lie Teng's strength was enhanced.

  "This guy actually went to challenge Wu Dao voluntarily, it's really unwise, and he'll probably die under this knife as well." A middle-aged man gazed at the black-clad youth with a sigh, seemingly regretful of Lie Teng's impending death.

  "The number of people who die at the hands of No-Knife is less than a hundred, it seems that now another soul will fall under the knife." Another man also chimed in.

  Wu Dao, famous in this layer of Ling Tian's hunting grounds, had been here for half a year. In that half year, he used his strange knife skills to kill one cultivator after another. A month ago, Wu Dao was severely injured in a battle with someone else, which is why Lie Teng didn't recognize him and hadn't even heard of him, or else he wouldn't have rashly approached him.

  This knifeless slash killed at least twenty cultivators, thirty black knives attacked like bees, making it impossible to defend against.

  At this time, Lie Tong's mind was racing with thoughts. If things continued like this, even if he had the Heaven-Defying Shield, he would still be severely injured or killed. The power of these black blades was too strong, and they were coming at him in a swarm, rendering the shield useless. Suddenly, his gaze fell upon the black blade that was stuck in the ground. Lie Tong remembered that all these black blades had originated from this one. If he could shatter this black blade, would it be possible to dispel the others?

  At that moment, Lie Teng's defensive shield rushed straight towards Wu Dao at high speed. Lie Teng also summoned a sword aura to protect his body, with five illusory swords forming a protective barrier around him. Seated on the ground, Wu Dao saw Lie Teng approaching and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The thirty black knives attacking Lie Teng mostly flew towards the back, while simultaneously charging towards Lie Teng, as if to instantly break through Lie Teng's sword aura and strike him down.

  Lie Teng seemed to have anticipated it, and as the Black Blade Department flew towards his back, the Heaven-Defying Shield suddenly moved to the rear. Lie Teng's green sword in his hand was already thrust out towards Wu Dao, who was now less than a meter away. However, Wu Dao reacted even faster, his hands moving swiftly as ten black blades materialized before him, forming a wall of knives that blocked Lie Teng's attack. The remaining twenty blades simultaneously shot towards Lie Teng, catching him off guard. Lie Teng thought to himself, "Not good," and the Heaven-Defying Shield appeared in front of him once again, blocking the black blades' assault. His breathing became slightly rapid as he realized that this person was the strongest opponent he had ever faced, with both reaction speed and strength surpassing all his previous foes.

  Taking a deep breath, a resolute gleam flashed across Lie Tong's eyes. The Heaven Shield was controlled to his back, while the Qing Sword and five phantom swords struck out in front of Wu Dao, blocking the ten black knives. For an instant, Lie Tong's internal spiritual energy was almost depleted. The Qing Sword and five phantom swords scattered the ten black knives, and the Five Soul Strings flashed from Lie Tong's fingertips, shooting towards Wu Dao like a ghostly arrow.

  Wu Dao's face changed drastically at this moment, he quickly pulled out the black knife in front of him, and at the same time all the black knife troops disappeared. Wu Dao's body retreated rapidly like a dragonfly touching water, and at the same time, Wu Dao's spiritual power poured into the black knife, continuously slashing out five knives, forming five blades that shot out.

  A few loud cracking sounds rang out, and four blades shattered. A soul-guiding force pierced through the blade and struck Wu Dao's left abdomen. Another blade was aimed at Lie Teng, whose spiritual energy was depleted. At this moment, seeing the blade coming, he quickly turned his body to dodge it, but still got hit by the blade's residual force. His black clothes were torn open with a large hole, and the blade scraped across Lie Teng's face, making him feel a stinging pain on his cheek. A knife wound was also cut on his neck, and Lie Teng breathed rapidly, his pale face staring at Wu Dao, who also looked at Lie Teng with apprehension. Both of them had exhausted their spiritual energy at this moment. Previously, Wu Dao's continuous slashes were already his limit, and now his dantian was as empty as Lie Teng's.
