"Is it a Divine Weapon?"

"How is that possible!"

A few contemporary Three Elements Great Cultivators scanned the sea of rice in an instant and focused their sights on the silhouette of Gui Pu, finally gazing fervently at that long sword.

What constitutes a Divine Weapon depends on whether the Divine Technique infused in it has earth-shattering power, an ultimate exclusive technique capable of creating incredible phenomena.

The Demon Sword before them easily caused a natural disaster.

Holding this sword, one becomes the Scarecrow Monarch amidst endless calamities.

With a single slash, thousands of troops fall.

Any army will become attire for him.

The few Three Elements Cultivators present were both amazed and delighted.

We in Pingchang City absolutely don't have such a Divine Weapon. This person must be from afar, perhaps a young man of great Qi Fortune from some distant tale, intending to scheme against the Zhang Family.

This person is probably fresh out of the academy, underestimating the Zhang Family so much. If we obtain this weapon, our family is only afraid...

Gui Pu merely smiled slightly and melted into the darkness.

"Don't rush, chase not, first subdue the ancestor!" someone shouted while suppressing the ancestor.

"If chasing could catch him, letting the ancestor destroy the clan land might be acceptable. The extinction of clan members to exchange for a Divine Weapon is entirely acceptable, but it's probably a trap. We pursue him but can't catch him... leaving the family simultaneously exterminated and penniless."

"Darn it! They're trying to lure us out!"

The several Three Elements Cultivators did not pursue.

They didn't believe the opponent could be so foolish; this was very likely a trap.

They could only be furious and first had to subdue the rampaging ancestor.

Seeing them restrained, Gui Pu drew his sword and danced amidst the crowd, killing indiscriminately.

Where he passed, Five-Body Realm Cultivators fell instantly, and Four Viscera Realm Cultivators lasted only a few seconds.

Gui Pu, being the most outstanding among the Four Viscera Realm Great Perfection batch, already found killing common Same Tier opponents not difficult, especially wielding a formidable Demon Weapon of the Three Elements Realm level.

Yet the few Three Elements Cultivators saw him killing their clan members in the distance and looting resources, surprisingly not alarmed but glad.

The opponent, audaciously, did not flee, waiting for them to settle the ancestor, signaling the end of the opponent.

Slash!

Blood spread across the ground.

"Hold him off!"

"Wait for the clan Elders to become available!"

"Even at the cost of life, keep him here!"

A large number of the Zhang Family's main forces perished.

Gui Pu still showed no intention of leaving, continuing killing on-site.

The flower of flesh and blood of the dead, the flower of soul, crazily fed back to his body, and with a crunch, his bottleneck finally began to loosen.

Meanwhile, the few Three Elements Cultivators in the distance finally subdued the furious three ancestors, waking them.

All six Three Elements Cultivators were about to circle over, when they saw vibrant blossoms extending above Gui Pu's head.

"Three Elements!"

"His sword, can actually... feed back?"

"Don't go!"

Sounds of furious shouts echoed.

Gui Pu stood in the sky above Pingchang City, continually swinging his sword, slashing at the six opponents.

The cultivators of this world had extremely strong regenerative abilities.

Even the lowest Five-Body Realm Cultivators were hard to kill, having completed the Ninth Grade of the Body after refining the Four Viscera, they were almost Undying and Immortal except for an unrefined Mortal Heart.

Three Elements Cultivators, as long as they protected their heart, could continuously regenerate!

Even though six Great Cultivators besieged Gui Pu, a newly risen Same Tier, they couldn't take him down quickly, only inflicting considerable damage.

But the Zhang Family Cultivators found with horror.

Battling for damage, the opponent's sword kept inflicting wounds, causing certain transformations to their bodies, turning them into scarecrows.

A Divine Weapon, enough to render one Invincible at the Same Tier, even engage in battles of higher tiers.

Whoosh.

Whoosh!

Both sides fiercely bombarded, above the Zhang Family's site arcs of white lightning seemed to snake through the dark clouds.

Swift cuts of the sword like crescent moons continuously struck the ground, slashing the fleeing Zhang Family Cultivators below.

With the collapse of bodies, a vast army of scarecrows kept rising.

In the black of night, thick blood rain fell, with stickiness and gore.

The tens of thousands of the Zhang Family below started turning into an army of scarecrows, slaughtering in all directions.

"How audacious!" The Zhang Family Elder roared in anger.

The opponent took advantage of the battle to unleash slashes, casually massacring their clan members, turning them into a mighty scarecrow army.

Even in their sieges, they felt themselves gradually transformed, the toxins gradually infecting them, turning them into scarecrow generals under his command.

Several Zhang Family Cultivators were both shocked and infuriated, showing expressions of disbelief, as their century-long foundation was annihilated in an instant!

This person, right under their noses... exterminated the clan?!

Gui Pu himself was also injured, and swathes of flesh and blood opened, he smiled slightly:

"What constitutes a Divine Weapon... you people from such a small place should have only heard of it before, now finally you've witnessed it."

"Go!"

Several Zhang Family Great Cultivators exchanged glances, suddenly turned around, and retreated on the spot, disappearing into the distance without hesitation.

Gui Pu's eyes flickered, but he didn't pursue.

Because they couldn't catch up.

These Great Cultivators had no solution for his poison; they didn't force a fight but rather fled by cutting off their tails. Losing some younger family members didn't matter.

The era of individual valor means that as long as the Great Ancestor and their elders are alive, they can cultivate a new generation of cultivators anytime.

Moreover, though it seemed like six Great Cultivators were besieging him, three of them were only temporarily lucid. Continuing the battle might lead to a second bout of madness.

At that time, instead of six people besieging him, three might turn against each other, attacking them.

They didn't dare imagine the consequences.

During the Red Moon, the three Great Ancestors were prone to berserking. The restraint on them was too great.

"Fear the Red Moon, and my unknown poison; they've fled."

Gui Pu's eyes gleamed, muttering: "What a pity they avoided fighting me directly. This sword not only poisons but can also replenish blood and Divine Sense, perfect for battle nourishment."

Slow-acting, cumulative poison is devastating against extremely difficult-to-kill Great Cultivators.

The practical use of this Divine Weapon makes it quite high on the Divine Weapon List.

Below, many cultivators who came upon hearing the news hid around to spy, many gloating while trembling in fear.

"Is this the legendary Divine Weapon?"

"No, this style is too demonic, too bloody; it's more like a peerless Demon Weapon, a monstrous tool of destruction!"

"Why is it coming to our Pingchang City?"

They widened their eyes.

It's too rare!

Divine Weapons were usually the treasures of ancient noble families and Major Sects, surprisingly appearing in this local city.

Moreover, the main material in crafting Divine Weapons comes from some peerless Great Demon, Divine Beast, or Demon Beast, extracting their Innate Divine Techniques.

Yet they've never heard of a powerful divine technique that turns people into scarecrows.

If there were such a Rice Straw Demon King, it wouldn't just be a town or a city; it would be a great plague, already renowned across Xinyi Continent.

But such a Demon King was unheard of before being killed and forged into a Magical Artifact?

"So, the three Great Noble Families of Pingchang City, let's proceed to the next!"

Gui Pu led the vast Scarecrow Army toward the Xu Family.

Soon after, the Xu Family also began experiencing ancestor rampages, while several Great Cultivators of the Zhang Family did nothing to help, secretly watching them fall victim.

Several Three Elements Great Cultivators of the Xu Family attempted a counterattack, realized they were poisoned, and decisively withdrew with the Core Disciples, avoiding confrontation.

"Cowardly, proceed to Zhang Family."

Gui Pu murmured purposely, "Afraid of ancestor rampages, don't dare act against me."

"Swallow insults and uphold family foundation first."

He still had to ransack his own Zhang Family.

The three Great Noble Families all needed to be visited to avoid arousing suspicion.

Because the Zhang Family is already empty, where did the wealth go?

There must be an explanation!

Publicly, he had to burn down the Zhang Family treasury, rob its savings, settle accounts personally, lest suspicions arise.

"Kill!"

The Sword Fairy also emerged as the Sword Spirit, appearing as a breathtaking figure.

She commanded the entire army over the multitude of scarecrow soldiers, waging war on Pingchang City.

Two families of cultivators had almost formed a Scarecrow Army close to eight hundred thousand strong, sweeping across the entire city.

If they wished, Pingchang City would become a ghost town within mere days.

Standing atop a family-bred Demon Beast, the Four Viscera Realm Rice Straw Demon Fox, her wheat-blonde hair fluttered in the wind:

"In my previous life, I was an ancient Demon King Monarch, ruling over a Sea Domain, but fell captive to a group of blacksmiths and forged into a weapon. I hate, hate, hate! All must die!"

"Mere Pingchang City, dare to face my army?"

Countless scarecrows rose slowly, the cultivators of the three Great Noble Families tearfully overwhelmed, attacked, and assimilated by the innumerable scarecrows.

Led cultivators maintaining order were torn apart by elite scarecrows converted from the Four Viscera Realm.

A vast ocean-like scarecrow massacre devoured the cultivators of each family.

The Sword Fairy showed no mercy and couldn't.

The benefits, cultivation resources, and lovely lives they enjoyed, built on the populace itself.

Like old man Zhang Jinseng said: once in this world of rivers and lakes, when the noble clans brandish blades to defend their dominion, they will eventually die by those same blades.

The world's power dynamics are but evolution of rise and fall, survival of the fittest.

She smiled faintly, eyes shining with endless brilliance and color:

"These noble families are the most brutal. Tonight, I rob from the rich, not kill civilians or Loose Cultivators!"

Her voice rolled like thunder, echoing throughout Pingchang City.

The Sword Fairy couldn't have imagined within just one month, she'd already undergone earth-shattering changes.

She once followed Zhang Huaping as a Loose Cultivator's sword, clearing malevolence in civilian homes, protecting citizens. Today, she alone commanded the mighty Queen's Corps.

Below, countless people gazed at the stunning Demon Sword Artifact Spirit, the commanding peerless Banshee Queen, swallowed hard, feeling terrified.

"This... this?"

Everyone seemed struck by lightning, standing frozen, minds uneasy, an unstoppable thought rising in their hearts:

"If I acquired this Divine Weapon, my mere Four Viscera Realm might breach into Three Elements, sweeping through the three Great Noble Families alone! How majestic? How domineering?"

"That person had such a miraculous encounter, but why wasn't that miracle for me?"

Originally, they thought the bandits were from the mountain's Demon Cultivation Manor, but a new bandit arrived.

Moreover, wielding a Heaven-Reaching Demon Weapon, alone as an army, one sword to withstand a city!

After today, perhaps no one across Xinyi Continent will be unaware of this Demon Weapon's existence.
