Chen Yao had already cultivated the Stellar Body Refinement Art to the fifth layer, and his bones and meridians had been tempered by the golden needles. His physical body had already surpassed ordinary Emperor Stage powerhouses, but he didn't have any powerful martial skills.

Back then, he was similar to Chen Yao, who was at the peak of the Martial King Realm, and he had also cultivated the Astral Body Refinement Method to the fifth layer. However, with his cultivation at the Martial King Realm, his physical body was still far weaker than the current Chen Yao.

Even if he obtained that Wang Ji Fruit and successfully entered the Emperor Martial Realm, his physical body might not be as strong as the current Chen Yao.

The biggest problem with Chen Yao was that he grew too fast. Ever since he obtained the Chaos sword seed, his entire body seemed to have been ignited. He moved forward with a high profile, which was why inner demons were born within him.

It should be said that he already had a premonition, but Chen Yao himself did not notice it. If he did not produce an inner demon, it would not have been so easy for him to control his mind and turn into a demon with a single thought in the Broken Sword City.

The monks of the Zen Temple of the Heart had branded the Diamond Heart Zen onto Chen Yao's body. It could suppress the murderous heart inside Chen Yao's body as well as Chen Yao's inner demons that had already appeared.

However, the accidental assimilation of the Demonic Pendant, the acquisition of the Dharma Inheritance, and the comprehension of the great Art of Attraction caused the demonic nature in Chen Yao's heart to soar once more. The Buddhist sacred scripture and the Diamond Heart sutra were no longer enough to suppress the demonic nature in Chen Yao's heart.

With the balance between the Demonic and Buddhist powers, no one could do anything about it. Chen Yao's own change in thinking had an impact on the whole situation.

This was the so called 'turning a thought into a demon and a thought into a Buddha'.

Even the slightest bit of irrational thoughts on Chen Yao's part would lead him to the peak of goodwill or evil intentions.

He had tolerated it time and again, but with Zhao Guang forcing him step by step, Chen Yao could no longer suppress his temper. Even though that punch from Zhao Guang had greatly suppressed his strength.

Evil thoughts were hard to suppress. Even if he did not use his full strength when he attacked, with the strength of his physical body, under the situation where he did not suppress them at all, who would be able to withstand it?

Since they were both in the Genuine Force, it was obvious that the difference in strength between Chen Yao and them was not small. The toughness of their physical bodies was even more incomparable.

"Bam."

Chen Yao's fist, one in front of the other, landed on both of their chests at the same time. A loud sound rang out, and a bloody hole was directly pierced through their chests. Their bones were completely shattered, and even their internal organs were smashed out.

"You."

At this moment, the two of them were actually still alive. Both of them looked at Chen Yao with fear and resentment in their eyes before collapsing to the ground and dying.

The two cultivators from the Cold Mountain Sword Sect died with grievances.

Their eyes revealed a lot of emotions and thoughts. They themselves were in the Genuine Force and were also sword cultivators, so even in death, they could not believe that a sword cultivator at the Genuine Force had such terrifying physical strength that he could kill two people in one punch.

However, the two of them were also very resentful. Life was fair, they were only loyal to their duty. Since they became Zhao Guang's guards, they should protect them.

From the very beginning, they had never thought of harming Chen Yao in the true sense. They were only trying to scare Chen Yao off. There wasn't any deep hatred between the two of them.

However, Chen Yao had actually taken both of their lives with a single strike. Furthermore, his methods were extremely savage and bloody.

This Sword Faction disciple's methods and style of doing things were even more unreasonable and brutal than the Formless Demon Sect Blood Ranking expert.

But in the end, their guild leader died due to unwillingness.

"Ah!"

The surrounding people screamed in fear.

"Murder, murder, murder."

When the audience saw the bloody scene, they scattered in fright. A large portion of the people in the Sword City were afraid of ordinary people, so they had never seen such a bloody scene before. Therefore, they were quite frightened.

Especially since the sword city was under the sword faction, who would dare to cause trouble under the sword faction's watch? In addition to the fact that there were still the forces of the Divine Radiant Empire and the guards of the Thousand Treasures Firm in the city, the security here was extremely good. It had been decades since there had last been any actual, vicious brawls, let alone a dead person.

This had definitely been going on for dozens of years in the Sword City.

Chen Yao's eyes were bloodshot and he didn't show any sign of being shocked or moved by the dead. He turned around and walked towards Zhao Guang, who was in the middle of a pile of rubble.

"Don't, don't kill me."

Zhao Guang looked at Chen Yao's flying silver hair and scarlet eyes as he walked towards him with a ferocious expression. His face was filled with fear; he had long since lost control of his bladder.

He pleaded at Chen Yao with his head like he was pounding garlic.

He was a country bumpkin. With his cultivation base, he could do whatever he wanted. How could he know about shame?

"It is my eyes that do not recognize Mt. Tai."

"Uncle, please let me go."

"Please, don't kill me."

Zhao Guang was truly afraid. He regretted that he did not go out today to see the Yellow Calendar, yet he had actually offended such a cold-blooded and terrifying master.

Chen Yao remained silent.

He lifted up Zhao Guang's collar and pulled him out from the rubble. His other hand formed a fist and he pulled back, ready to strike Zhao Guang's head.

Zhao Guang had witnessed the bloody scene of Chen Yao killing two Genuine Force Warriors with a single punch, so he had started to think. Zhao Guang had seen the bloody scene of Chen Yao killing two Genuine Force Warriors with a single punch, so he had started to think by himself.

Zhao Guang was thinking how great it would be if he fainted, but he just couldn't. That would be awkward.

Right at the moment when Chen Yao was about to punch out with his fist.

"Stop."

Suddenly, an angry bellow was heard from behind Chen Yao. Following which, a sharp palm hacked towards Chen Yao.

Chen Yao subconsciously released Zhao Guang and turned around to punch him.

"Bam."

Chen Yao's fist violently clashed with his extended palm.

Chen Yao staggered back seven or eight steps before coming to a stop. Not only did his opponent not retreat a single step, he even went further and landed beside Zhao Guang.

When he saw this person's figure, Zhao Guang, who was already on the verge of collapsing due to the fear of death, finally managed to grab onto something to save his life.

He grabbed the approaching person's foot and shouted hysterically.

"Dad, save me! Save me!"

Yes, the person who came was the Sword Faction's Punishment Elder, Zhao Guang's father, Zhao Gongming.

"Clang clang."

At this moment, rapid hoof beats could be heard from the surroundings as well. Nearly a hundred heavily armored city guards charged forward, blocking Chen Yao, whose silver hair was flying chaotically in the middle.

Immediately after, another twenty plus white clothed sword cultivators quickly rushed over. They were precisely the sword faction's always guarding patrol team from the Sword City.

Although the several Martial Emperors from the Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild did not appear, they were likely hiding in the surroundings. If they were truly uneasy and knew that the Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild was safe, they would not hesitate to make their move.

Chen Yao was now surrounded by enemies from all four sides.
