Chapter 1: Killing You, Just One Sword

The Yin-Yang Academy is the holy land of the Great Wu Dynasty, and those who can enter to cultivate are all prodigies.

In a dilapidated courtyard, Xiao Changfeng suddenly opened his eyes.

“Pfft!”

A mouthful of foul black blood spewed out, and Xiao Changfeng's face turned as pale as snow.

“Nine Insect Poison, colorless and odorless, most damaging to the heart, certain death upon ingestion. Empress, you wicked woman, I will kill you!”

His hands clenched tightly, sharp nails piercing the flesh of his palms, blood dripping, but Xiao Changfeng seemed oblivious, his black eyes blazing with overwhelming hatred.

Ten years ago, the empress with a venomous heart stripped away his martial soul, leaving him talentless and weak, almost dead.

For ten years, he had lived like an ant, hiding within the Yin-Yang Academy, but the empress still did not let him off, sending someone to poison him.

The Nine Insect Poison is extremely toxic, and if not for Xiao Changfeng's memory awakening at the last moment, he would surely have died.

However, the sealed memory was only partially revealed, the reason for his fall and why he was reborn in this world still a mystery.

“I was once the Eternal Immortal Emperor, commanding all the immortals, but for some unknown reason, I fell. The Creation Immortal Sword brought my residual soul to this world, and I was reborn.”

Xiao Changfeng organized the additional memories in his mind, understanding his own origins.

However, the sealed memory was only partially revealed, the reason for his fall and why he was reborn in this world still a mystery.

“The first priority is to detoxify. The Nine Insect Poison is made from nine different poisonous insects, with a strong toxicity.”

Xiao Changfeng tore off his clothes, revealing eight black lines on his chest, a sign of the poison's onset. When nine black lines appear, the Nine Insect Poison will erupt, leading to certain death.

Suddenly, a five-colored immortal light appeared in Xiao Changfeng's mind, emitting a vast divine aura that seemed to collapse the heavens.

“The Great Five Elements Immortal Technique!”

Within the immortal light, an immortal technique was revealed in his mind, shocking Xiao Changfeng.

“This is the mysterious technique I obtained from the Chaos Secret Realm in my previous life, rumored to contain the secret of immortality. I never expected it to be reborn with me!”

Xiao Changfeng was initially stunned, then became excited.

“Ha ha ha, heaven does not abandon me. Wicked woman, what if you take my martial soul? Once I re-master the immortal technique, I will cut you down with my sword.”

Xiao Changfeng laughed heartily, his eyes shining like a drawn sword, cutting through the heavens and earth.

The Great Five Elements Immortal Technique has five volumes: White Tiger War Volume, Green Dragon Immortality Volume, Black Tortoise Longevity Volume, Vermilion Bird Immortality Volume, and Qilin Mystic Heaven Volume.

“Green Dragon represents wood, and is primarily for healing. Cultivating the Green Dragon Immortality Volume can detoxify the Nine Insect Poison!”

Xiao Changfeng was overjoyed. With the Nine Insect Poison imminent, he immediately sat cross-legged and began cultivating the Green Dragon Immortality Volume.

Heavenly essence and energy flowed through Xiao Changfeng's body, and a faint green shadow appeared behind him, though only the size of a chopstick, it exuded a sense of supremacy over all things.

Two hours later, Xiao Changfeng stopped cultivating, exhaling a foul black gas, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

The black lines on his chest, representing the Nine Insect Poison, had completely disappeared.

“Truly worthy of the Great Five Elements Immortal Technique. Just a short cultivation session, and the Nine Insect Poison is gone. Moreover, the Green Dragon Immortality Volume has even given birth to a martial soul.”

Xiao Changfeng felt the growing power within him, a smile of joy on his face.

The green shadow behind him was the martial soul born from cultivating the Green Dragon Immortality Volume, though currently weak, it was a genuine Green Dragon martial soul.

Martial souls are a unique power in this world, with only a few martial artists awakening them, becoming one in a million soul martial artists.

Most soul martial artists have only one martial soul in their lifetime, but a few prodigies can have the legendary dual martial souls.

Martial souls are divided into nine ranks, and the bronze sword soul Xiao Changfeng awakened at birth was the highest, ninth rank.

However, the Green Dragon martial soul Xiao Changfeng now possesses is no weaker than the bronze sword.

Crack!

Xiao Changfeng clenched his fists, the sound of cracking bones filling the air, his body filled with power, and a pale green essence and energy circulating within him, allowing him to re-enter the martial path.

“First level of the Body Tempering Realm. Though at the beginning of the martial path, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. With the Great Five Elements Immortal Technique, I will regain my strength and go to the capital to cut down that old wicked woman.”

The martial path has nine levels: Body Tempering, Spirit Martial, Earth Martial, Heaven Martial, Imperial Martial, Emperor Martial, Great Power, Sage, and Heavenly Respect. Each level is further divided into nine sub-levels.

Without discussing the many strong figures in the palace, the empress herself is a powerful Imperial Martial, and Xiao Changfeng must have great strength to seek revenge.

“Huh? You're still alive!”

A sinister voice suddenly echoed in the courtyard, and the next moment, a bone-chilling cold light shot towards Xiao Changfeng's throat.

Xiao Changfeng sidestepped and bent over, accurately evading the fatal blow.

Thud! The dagger pierced the wall, embedding itself deeply. If Xiao Changfeng had reacted a fraction slower, the dagger would have pierced his throat, taking his life.

What a ruthless move!

“Xu San!”

Xiao Changfeng recognized the attacker, his hands clenching, his eyes filled with cold killing intent.

Xu San was a round-faced youth, an outer disciple of the Yin-Yang Academy, with the strength of the third level of the Body Tempering Realm. He appeared simple and honest but was the most ruthless, skilled in using poison. The Nine Insect Poison was his doing.

“To be poisoned by the Nine Insect Poison and still not die, fortunately, I came to check to prevent any accidents, or you would have escaped!”

Xu San's sinister gaze was chilling. He approached Xiao Changfeng, a pale green essence and energy appearing on his skin.

“What's the point of you living as a waste? Be my stepping stone. Only by killing you can I become the follower of the First Prince and rise to prominence.”

Xu San shouted coldly, transforming into a black shadow, rushing towards Xiao Changfeng. His right foot kicked out like a dragon's tail, covered in a thick pale green essence and energy, generating a fierce wind as it aimed for Xiao Changfeng's face.

The kick was fast and vicious, and Xu San, a third-level Body Tempering Realm martial artist, exerted a terrifying force of three hundred pounds. Even a large tree would be snapped in two.

Xu San was confident he could kick Xiao Changfeng to death.

At that moment.

Suddenly.

“Crack!”

A bright sword light suddenly flashed, like a bolt of lightning in the endless darkness.

“Ahh!”

Xu San let out a惨叫, his right foot severed at the wrist, blood gushing out, staining the ground red.

After the sword light, a cold and icy voice echoed.

“Killing you, just one sword!”

At that moment, Xu San's eyes were filled with horror, staring at Xiao Changfeng, who held a sword, his face stern, feeling an overwhelming fear.
