[Heretic Sword Demon (Normal)]

[Strength: Sixth Level of Qi gathering Stage]

[Features: Can use certain sword skills of a sword cultivator during their lifetime and possesses the power of a heretic path.]

—

Because of his cautious character, Su Chen did not choose to engage in close combat with this group of heretic sword demons at the first opportunity.

He raised his left hand and pointed his sword horizontally at his forehead.

The next second, purple flames emanated from his body and gathered into twelve solid purple fire flying swords.

"Go!"

As Su Chen's words fell, the purple flying swords around him turned into streams of light, trailing gorgeous flaming tails as they attacked the group of sword demons rushing toward him.

In an instant, the twelve purple fire flying swords crossed paths with the sword demons.

Some of these purple fire flying swords directly struck the sword demon's neck, while others pierced through the sword demon's chest.

But no matter which one it was, upon touching the sword demon, these purple fire flying swords turned into raging purple flames and completely devoured them.

"Ahh!!!"

The sword demons, engulfed in the raging flames, let out miserable cries.

They swung their heretic swords frantically, trying to dispel the purple flames on their bodies.

But such struggles not only failed but also made the purple flames on their bodies burn more fiercely.

Watching the scene of these sword demons struggling, Su Chen's pupils turned into constantly rotating green lotuses as he carefully observed their every move.

At first, Su Chen thought the existence of these heretic sword demons was similar to the magic corpses in ancient tombs; they all appeared to be a form of corpse transformation.

Even though he had seen that these evil swords with tumors were both like swords and not swords, like demons but not exactly demons, he had initially linked them to the resurrected corpses (magic corpses) and did not think much about it.

However, after opening the Green Lotus Pupils, some scenes that were invisible in ordinary ways appeared before him.

This revelation clarified the true nature of these heretic sword demons.

They looked like humanoid monsters, but their real source of power came from the strange evil (heretic) swords in their hands.

These tumor-covered evil swords were not associated with magic corpses; they were parasites that had directly taken over the original bodies of the cultivators!

Thinking this, Su Chen's expression grew even colder.

"Playing with these twisted remnants of the dead is truly disgusting..."

Su Chen took the Black Dragon Sword and approached a heretic sword demon.

The heretic sword demon, who had been tortured by the Purple Cloud Divine Fire to the point of unbearable pain, saw this and immediately rushed toward Su Chen with a crazed look.

But before it could get close, a black light struck its arm, severing the appendage connected to the tumor evil sword.

"Ying!"

The arm fell to the ground, and a sharp cry, like that of a baby, emanated from the tumor evil sword on the ground.

A closer look revealed that the sound came from the hilt of the tumor evil sword, where an ugly and distorted human face had formed.

Su Chen knew very well that the true body of the Heretic Sword Demon was this face.

"Die."

With these words, the Black Dragon Sword in Su Chen's hand pierced the distorted human face on the tumor evil sword, ending this twisted life.

The sharp, piercing screams around him vanished completely at that moment.

Since other Heretic Sword Demons were nearby, Su Chen did not pause to check the system prompt that popped up on the panel; he prepared to deal with the remaining heretic sword demons.

Knowing the true nature of the heretic sword demons, he realized his Purple Cloud Divine Fire had a significant restraining effect on these heretic demons.

Consequently, the remaining dozen or so heretic sword demons posed minimal difficulty for Su Chen and soon fell as corpses.

Once the square was completely calm, Su Chen finally had the opportunity to assess his gains from this encounter.

A total of twelve heretic sword demons had rewarded Su Chen with 840 experience points and six soul crystal fragments (white).

Almost every two heretic sword demons he defeated yielded one soul crystal fragment.

Without hesitation, Su Chen immediately added these soul crystal fragments to his innate magical powers, which had not yet awakened.

"It seems that there are still many sword demons in this square. I will deal with them first and then go to the strange sword pavilion..."

Su Chen looked up at the towering yet incomplete sword pavilion not far away, his eyes full of vigilance.

If the heretic sword demons in the square were appetizers, then the strange sword pavilion was the main course.

Even from hundreds of meters away, Su Chen could sense the faint sword intent emanating from the sword pavilion.

This sword intent felt cold, carrying an undercurrent of madness and murderous intent, making Su Chen quite wary.

In addition to this strange sword intent, another reason why Su Chen did not want to approach the sword pavilion casually was the peculiar "angular shape" of the structure.

From his angle, the entire sword pavilion appeared to have been diagonally severed by a sword, with most of it sheared off.

Su Chen couldn't imagine what kind of existence could possess the strength to cut a 50-meter-high, five-story sword pavilion with a single strike.

It was likely that the person capable of such an act must possess at least the strength of the Golden Elixir stage.

Encountering a Golden Elixir stage entity in a dungeon was not a good omen for Su Chen.

At present, he could only handle Foundation-building stage foes with average talent and weak qualifications.

As for the Golden Elixir stage, even the most ordinary cultivator at that stage was beyond his current capability, and he could not defeat them even with a life-or-death gamble.

"Qi Gathering Stage vs. Golden Elixir Stage... the real game designer shouldn't have created such an anti-human dungeon..."

With that thought in mind, Su Chen began exploring the entire Sword Pavilion Square.

After about an incense stick's worth of time, he found and eliminated all the heretic sword demons in the square.

He gained a significant amount of experience points and soul crystal fragments.

"The sword demons in the square have been cleared, but the area outside the Sword Pavilion Square is shrouded in black fog. Approaching it triggers a prompt telling me not to move forward."

"It seems that the only place I can go now is... the strange Sword Pavilion."

Taking a deep breath, Su Chen walked to the entrance of the sword pavilion and slowly pushed the door open.

Boom...

Accompanied by a dull, dragging sound, the sword pavilion—which had been silent for so long—finally welcomed its new guest into the light.

However, the resident of the sword pavilion did not seem to welcome Su Chen with open arms.

Almost as soon as he stepped onto the first floor of the sword pavilion, several rapid sounds of rushing air surrounded him.

Without hesitation, Su Chen vanished on the spot with a Floating Cloud Step and landed in the open space beside him.

He raised his head and saw seven heretic sword demons standing in a special formation, encircling him.

Six of the seven heretic path sword demons were similar to those in the square—ordinary sword demons.

But the leader was quite special.

Not only was the decay of its flesh and blood much less than that of the other sword demons, but the evil sword in its hand also appeared more solid, exuding a peculiar blood-red aura that set it apart from ordinary heretic path sword demons.

[Heretic Path Sword Demon (Elite)]

[Strength: Ninth Level of Qi Gathering Stage]

[Features: Can use certain sword skills of sword cultivators in their lifetime and can form a sword formation with other sword demons, possessing the power of the heretic path.]

—

Form a sword formation?!

Su Chen stared at the status of this elite heretic path sword demon and felt a wave of unease wash over him.

In a straightforward one-on-one fight, even with an elite sword demon present, it wouldn't pose a significant threat to him at the moment.

However, things changed significantly when they formed a sword formation.

This wasn't a simple case of '1+1=2'—it was closer to '1+1>2'!

It was one thing to have an additional opponent, but it was entirely another to form a sword formation with them.

Where was the pride of a sword cultivator?

Just come and fight!

Not that the heretic sword demons could hear Su Chen's taunts.

Even if they could hear him, they wouldn't feel ashamed; rather, they would take pride in their power, after all.

With an excited roar from the elite sword demon, the seven of them surged toward Su Chen in their special formation.

Special sword formation - Seven Kills!
