The "Yuchen Tribulation Opening Sword Scripture" is a Martial Arts that shortens one's lifespan the more it is practiced. If it weren't for Luo Fu Palace being truly pushed to the brink, Hua Yufei wouldn't have chosen to cultivate this technique.

To replenish the constantly draining Vitality, Hua Yufei chose to make contact with the Blood Demon Sect, using the Superior Absolute Skill of the Blood Path to supplement his Vitality, achieving a balance of output and input.

However, as his mastery of the Sword technique deepened, relying solely on Blood Path Martial Arts was no longer sufficient to aid Hua Yufei.

Thus, Hua Yufei found a new method.

By channeling Qi through his body, Chenyuan produced a surge of Death Qi, contending with Slaughter Sword Qi, preventing it from further depleting his Vitality.

Moreover, this Death Qi did not harm his body; rather, it nourished his form, turning his dry and withered skin smooth.

Yet, at this moment, the Slaughter Sword Qi became agitated, surging through Hua Yufei's body, as if it wanted to burst out and leave its master.

"The Slaughter Life Sword Path cannot be exempted merely by opposition; without understanding its true essence, you will ultimately perish under the Sword Qi."

An ethereal voice reached Hua Yufei's ears, making the Palace Master of Luo Fu Palace's heart tremble. The Jade Sword, White Wall Xihua, was instantly in his hand, swinging towards the direction of the voice.

"Clang——"

White Wall Xihua halted beside the speaker's face, continuously struggling as if grabbed by an invisible hand, forcing it not to move forward.

"Attempting to wield a sword against me with just your cultivation level is far, far from sufficient. You would at least need to reach Ren Piaomiao's level to qualify to strike at me."

The youth with worldly eyes gently moved the Jade Sword aside with a finger, looking at Hua Yufei with an amused smile, "I thought I'd see who had mastered the Slaughter Life Sword Path, but it turns out you took a shortcut. And you even practiced the magic door's technique to resist the Slaughter Sword Qi. I have to admit, you are quite resourceful."

"Slaughter Life Sword Path? Who exactly are you?"

Hua Yufei masked his inner shock, feigning calmness as he spoke.

"Having practiced my swordsmanship, do you not know who I am?" the youth chuckled.

"Your swordsmanship, as far as I know, is clearly the 'Yuchen Tribulation Opening Sword Scripture,' not the so-called Slaughter Life Sword Path," Hua Yufei stated.

Although some people believed the 'Yuchen Tribulation Opening Sword Scripture' was named by Luo Fu Palace itself, as the Palace Master, Hua Yufei knew that this Sword Scripture was created by the sword god Yuchen after he succumbed to demonic influences nine hundred years ago. This sword god should have long been deceased.

"It is the 'Yuchen Tribulation Opening Sword Scripture,' but it isn't," the youth shook his head with a smile, "The complete 'Yuchen Tribulation Opening Sword Scripture' includes the Tribulation Sword Chapter as well as the Four Sword Skills. What you've been practicing is merely the Slaughter Life Sword Path from the Four Sword Skills."

"Complete······"

Hua Yufei suddenly recalled that when the predecessors of Luo Fu Palace obtained the Sword Scripture, it indeed lacked a name, appearing fragmented. However, that ancestor recognized the origin of the Sword Scripture, hence naming it the 'Yuchen Tribulation Opening Sword Scripture.'

As a result, those in the sect thought the Sword Scripture's name was given by Luo Fu Palace itself. But the people of Luo Fu Palace knew that the predecessor simply knew the origin of the Sword technique.

Thinking about it now, this Sword technique is indeed probably just part of the 'Yuchen Tribulation Opening Sword Scripture,' and the person before him is...

"Sword God······" Hua Yufei murmured the identity of the person before him in a tone of awe.

"Back then, I was ambushed. Before being sealed, I quietly sent out the Slaughter Life Sword Path. I thought someone would successfully cultivate it and would seek out the remaining parts of the Sword Scripture to help free me. But who would have thought the one who obtained it would think it was a complete Sword Scripture. It truly is······"

At this point, the Sword God also laughed silently, "It's laughable and ironic."

Luo Fu Palace never realized that the Sword Scripture was incomplete, only thinking that they were practicing incorrectly. They had always been seeking the true method of cultivation, not considering that the Sword Scripture itself was incomplete.

The Sword God didn't know whether to lament his own misfortune or to criticize others' folly.

But fortunately, he eventually freed himself.

Watching the still incredulous Hua Yufei, the Sword God slowly said, "I can instruct you on the correct cultivation method of the Slaughter Life Sword Path, but do you possess the determination to pay the price for it, young one?"

"Determination?" Hua Yufei asked, a ghastly smile appearing on his emaciated face, "Determination is all I have left."

Risking his life to practice the Slaughter Life Sword Path, colluding with the Blood Demon Sect, and also associating with the magic door, his determination had never waned. For Luo Fu Palace, Hua Yufei would spare no expense, whether in the past or the future, his resolve to sacrifice had never left his heart.

"Please instruct me, Sword God," Hua Yufei bowed deeply, expressing his respect.

··························

Seven hundred disciples of the Sword Palace rushed to the border. Due to their high martial prowess, they had successfully reached the border within just two short days, ready to receive orders.

"General Xu, the seven hundred disciples of Piaomiao Sword Palace have all arrived and await your command."

Xiao Qiye, who had already reached Kuocang Pass, cupped his hands and spoke.

And the one called "General Xu" was none other than Xu Tiecheng, the original garrison commander of Feiyun Pass. Due to the grassland army suffering two defeats at Feiyun Pass, the Golden Wolf Han Court became highly wary of Feiyun Pass, rarely dispatching troops there.

Thus, Xu Tiecheng was transferred by Feng Jiwu to Kuocang Pass, hoping this great general would have a place to utilize his martial prowess.

"Haha, Master Xiao, no need for formalities. We are fellow practitioners; there's no need for instructions or orders."

Appearing years younger than before, Xu Tiecheng patted Xiao Qiye's shoulder with a hearty laugh.

"Fellow practitioners?"

Xiao Qiye looked puzzled, but he saw a glint of Demonic Qi in Xu Tiecheng's eyes and immediately understood.

"That's right, we are fellow practitioners. I offer my respects," Xiao Qiye smiled.

Just now, Xiao Qiye had identified Xu Tiecheng's identity, realizing that he, like himself, was one who had successfully transformed into a Demon Body.

Xu Tiecheng was also one of the Xuanyin Sword Guards under Qing Yu, once bestowed with a Xuanyin Sword Energy by Qing Yu, and had led troops to slaughter the grassland people at Feiyun Pass, collecting vast amounts of essence blood for Qing Yu at that time.

Although he had been stationed at the border due to his duties, his contribution to Qing Yu was substantial, making him an imposing figure among the subordinates.

After the creation of the Body Refining Demon Technique was finally completed, Qing Yu also had his Xuanyin Sword Guards begin its cultivation. As one of the Xuanyin Sword Guards, Xu Tiecheng naturally learned this technique.

And because he was at the border, constantly engaged in slaughter, Xu Tiecheng successfully transformed into a Demon Body several months ago, utilizing the essence blood and Killing Intent earned through slaughter, becoming one of the few Demon people under Qing Yu.

"After this great battle, our kind will noticeably increase,"

Xu Tiecheng spoke as he looked towards the grassland from the parapet.

"Yet, many more will be buried here, adding to Master's grand plans," Xiao Qiye added.
