The Red-haired Ancestor's disciples, protected and emboldened by him, have always behaved recklessly, as if they were above the law.

Among them, his most favored senior disciple Hong Changbao and his apprentice Yao Kaijiang were the worst!

Yao Kaijiang hadn't spoken to anyone like this in a long time. Hearing Shi Sheng curse their entire sect from top to bottom enraged him so much that he let out a loud roar and released three flying knives.

Those flying knives transformed into three blood-colored rainbows in the sky, descending from the clouds, aimed straight at Shi Sheng. Shi Sheng was not afraid of him and counteracted with his Taibai Split Light Sword.

As the knives and the sword clashed, three trails of bloody light intertwined with a streak of silver, producing a rapid clinking sound as blood and silver sparks flew in all directions.

Although Yao Kaijiang was junior in rank, he was extremely valued by the Red-haired Ancestor. He had received many secret teachings and had acquired true mastery, and his Technique Divine Power was even stronger than many of his senior fellow disciples. His three flying knives were personally refined by the Red-haired Ancestor, modeled after his own Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Saber, and were of an exceptional quality. Although Shi Sheng's flying sword maintained the upper hand, defeating them was still not an easy task.

Even so, the people above the crimson clouds were quite shocked. Yao Kaijiang's strength was among the highest of them, and yet he couldn't overcome such a youngster.

Yao Kaijiang felt humiliated, persistently commanding the flying knives but still suppressed steadily by the Taiyin Splitting Light Sword, growing more and more impatient.

He shook his shoulders and released the Hundred Poison Smoke Mist Linked Pearl Flying Crossbow bestowed upon him by the Red-haired Ancestor, one of the sect's mountain treasures.

Twelve crossbow arrows, each wrapped in a wisp of intensely poisonous colored smoke, shot through the air, forming twelve parallel trails of smoke with more than ten zhang long tails, an impressive sight to behold.

This treasure had been personally refined by the Red-haired Ancestor, using a variety of poisonous saliva, evil herbs, poisonous mist, malignant insects, and the essence of the Five Metals, painstakingly forged. It was nurtured with his own Five Elements True Qi and, like the flying sword, could strike and be retracted.

If the enemy's flying sword touched these arrows, it would instantly be corrupted and lose its spiritual essence. If a person's body was even slightly touched by it, they would be attacked by poison reaching their heart, resulting in death.

Back in the day, the Red-haired Ancestor would rampage through the Southern Border with this treasure, always emerging victorious. Later, after acquiring the Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Saber, he gifted it to Yao Kaijiang.

Yao Kaijiang already had three flying knives, and now with twelve launched crossbow arrows, he had a total of fifteen weapons descending from the sky, attempting to envelop and kill both Shi Sheng and Lin Han.

Lin Han, not wishing to outnumber his opponent, gracefully floated backwards to land on a mountain peak.

Shi Sheng rallied his spirit, and with only the Taibai Split Light Sword, he created an encircling dance of silver stars, repelling all knives and arrows, preventing them from getting close to him.

Yao Kaijiang didn't expect that his opponent's flying sword would be impervious to contamination, nor did he anticipate such exquisite swordsmanship. Biting the tip of his tongue, he frenziedly commanded the knives and crossbow, launching a concerted attack from all sides, furiously pressing in but still firmly blocked by the Taibai Split Light Sword, unable to get within ten zhang of Shi Sheng.

Out of frustration and fearing loss of face in front of others, Yao Kaijiang flew down from the sky, ready to cast spells.

Since he was on the Red-haired Ancestor's cloud platform, he was too far from Shi Sheng, which affected the effectiveness of his spells. Keeping distance also diminished the power of his control over the knives and arrows. He believed he couldn't defeat Shi Sheng because the latter was purely defensive, and the heat of his attacking swords was too close to his opponent and too far from him.

Thus, he descended from the clouds, flying towards Shi Sheng to close the distance, continuously increasing his control over the knives and arrows, with the speed of the attacks becoming increasingly rapid, assaulting from all directions.

Shi Sheng was purely on the defense, offering no counterattack, because Shi Feiyang had sent a message through Flying Sword Transmission beforehand, informing him that unless he was in life-threatening danger, he mustn't use the Heavenly Heart Ring.

This gave him pause; he also considered that with the Red-haired Ancestor present, if he used the Magical Treasure to attack the clouds, it was highly likely that it would be intercepted or even taken by the Red-haired Ancestor, thus he continued to restrain himself.

Now that Yao Kaijiang had descended, continuously closing the distance and shaping seals with his hands, he employed his unique Asura yin evil Soul Capturing Great Technique, attempting to snatch Shi Sheng's Primordial Spirit from the air using hand seals and Secret Spells.

Shi Sheng, having followed Shi Feiyang in Cultivation of Mysterious Sect Immortal Technique for many years, had a Primordial Spirit more stable and refined than the Red-haired Ancestor himself. He bit his tongue, sprayed blood onto his hands, and mumbled incantations while casting spells.

Every so often, Shi Sheng would feel his scalp tingle, understanding that Yao Kaijiang was casting Soul Capture, and he silently executed the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Great Technique.

Yao Kaijiang's use of an Evil Skill to snatch souls was of no effect against someone with as firm a Dao Foundation as Shi Sheng, as if he were attacking stone, especially against the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Great Technique. Not only did he fail to capture Shi Sheng's Soul, but his own spell rebounded, hitting him instead. Originally, his mouth's Essence Blood combined with Mana emitted a red beam, but in the next instant, it reflected back and struck his own Soul.

Suffering the backlash of his own spell would cause most to instantly perish, their Soul scattered.

However, the Red-haired Ancestor's sect's skills were extremely unique. Their Lifebound Primordial Spirits were fused with other demonic creatures, and Yao Kaijiang had chosen a Red-scaled Python, which he had Sacrificially Refined for many years, then burnt to ashes with Demon Fire, ingested it, and merged it with his Primordial Spirit, which bizarrely became multicolored.

This monster snake, forced out of his body by his own spell, showed its true form in the air, a dozen zhang long, its scales radiant with a myriad of colors, wrapped in a sphere of intensely poisonous Dan Qi, coiling in the air, and then suddenly lunging at Shi Sheng.

Against such a Divine Demon, ordinary Flying Sword Magical Treasures could not harm it, and Shi Sheng couldn't resist with mere sword light. Normally, using the Heavenly Heart Ring could easily capture and destroy the poisonous snake, but his master had sent a Flying Sword Transmission earlier, specifically instructing him not to use it.

Still relying on the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Great Technique, Shi Sheng formed an invisible hand in the air and accurately grabbed the python's vital spot, throwing it hard to the ground. Seizing this moment, he launched his flying sword and swiftly beheaded Yao Kaijiang!
