"Since everyone knows the truth now, none of you are leaving."
Gu Yiran sneered coldly.
Killing his fellow sect members couldn't be allowed to get out.
Therefore, they all had to die!
"Damn it! You think just because we call you Senior Brother, you can do whatever you want?!"
"Now you want to kill us?"
They glared at Gu Yiran with eyes full of both shock and anger.
It was clear that Gu Yiran intended to eliminate them.
Now, they gripped their swords tightly, their killing intent rising.
"Oh? You still want to resist?"
Gu Yiran laughed coldly as he saw their reactions.
"Everyone, attack! Kill him!"
One of the cultivators commanded coldly.
As soon as his voice fell, the cultivators immediately charged forward with their swords, aiming straight for Gu Yiran!
"Such weak swordplay!"
"Don't forget, I taught you how to wield those swords!"
Gu Yiran growled, gripping his own sword as he retaliated.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
The sound of swords slicing through the air echoed continuously.
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, Gu Yiran's sword slashed madly in the air.
Clang clang clang—
In an instant, his sword clashed with theirs, creating a series of sharp metallic sounds.
Gu Yiran's swordsmanship was clearly superior to theirs.
In just a split second, one of the cultivators failed to defend properly and was impaled by Gu Yiran's sword!
Blood splattered everywhere in that instant.

...
The man's eyes widened in shock as his blood was instantly drained dry.
"Get lost!"
Gu Yiran kicked the lifeless body away, sending it flying.
The fallen cultivator lay on the ground, eyes wide open, unable to find peace in death.
Gu Yiran didn't stop there.
With his sword in hand, he continued to slash wildly, battling the remaining cultivators.
Though his cultivation and swordsmanship were stronger than theirs, the gap wasn't overwhelming.
After all, they were all at the Foundation Establishment stage, just at different levels.
Before long, Gu Yiran's body bore its own wounds.
Blood stains appeared all over his clothes, though it was hard to tell if it was his own blood or someone else's, as his entire outfit was soaked in red.
"Die!!!"
In the end, Gu Yiran managed to kill all the cultivators.
But his body was now covered in cuts and bruises.

...
A barrage of system notifications appeared before Ye Fan.
So many evolution points had been gained.
"But the next upgrade won't be that easy,"
Ye Fan thought as he looked at the system panel. The next upgrade required a staggering 100,000 evolution points!
Gaining that many points wouldn't be simple.
He couldn't help but reminisce about the past.
While checking his system panel, Ye Fan sighed.
[Host]: Ye Fan
[Sword Name]: Ordinary Long Sword (forged with special metal, now an ordinary long sword, possessing moderate sharpness)

Cursed (the sword is filled with immense resentment; those without sufficient strength will be plagued by bad luck)
[Evolution Points]: 13,000/100,000
[Energy]: 356
"This Gu Yiran really is ruthless. In such a short time, he killed so many cultivators," Ye Fan thought.
Over ten of them.
Gu Yiran's body, upon closer inspection, was now surrounded by a faint black mist.
This mist was invisible to most cultivators.
It was the curse.
Because Ye Fan's sword contained a deep resentment, anyone using it without enough strength would be afflicted by misfortune.
Gu Yiran's mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation clearly wasn't strong enough.
"Damn it."
Gu Yiran took out some medicinal powder from his pouch and treated his wounds before quickly leaving the area.
He hadn't expected to be injured this severely.
He had almost been overpowered and killed by them.
As Gu Yiran looked towards the area ahead, a twisted smile curled on his lips as he glanced at the sword in his hand.
Just moments ago, a massive amount of energy had surged into his body. The feeling was simply exhilarating!
But as Gu Yiran moved forward, his smile quickly froze.
Ahead of him, a large shadowy mass was visible.
"Black Demon Wolves!"
His face paled upon seeing them.
The Black Demon Wolves were known to prowl this area, incredibly aggressive by nature.
He had just encountered them earlier, and now, here they were again!
Damn it!
"Kill them all!"
Gu Yiran gripped his sword tightly and charged forward.
His body trembled with excitement.
He wanted to kill more Black Demon Wolves, absorb their energy, and make himself even stronger!
Roar—
Before he could reach them, the Black Demon Wolves had already bared their teeth and pounced on him!
"Die, you monsters!!!!"
Gu Yiran shouted as he clenched his teeth and stabbed his sword straight into the mouth of one of the wolves.
He pierced right through its head!
But he didn't stop, slashing wildly.
In just moments, several Black Demon Wolves lay dead on the ground.
[Killed third-rank Black Demon Wolf, gained 30 evolution points]
[Killed third-rank Black Demon Wolf, gained 30 evolution points]
...
"He's going to die."
Ye Fan commented coldly as he watched the system notifications.
While the Black Demon Wolves weren't particularly strong, there were too many of them.
And with Gu Yiran already injured, he was in deep trouble.
