He Must Die Today

“Sect Leader!?”

Jiang Lingfeng’s eyes widened as he looked up at the sky, filled with ecstatic joy.

The newcomer was none other than Wei Chengfeng, the current Sect Leader of the Infinite Sword Sect.

Wei Chengfeng cast a cold glance at Jiang Lingfeng but said nothing.

His intervention was by no means out of any fondness for Jiang Lingfeng.

Simply put, this matter had escalated too far.

An elder of the sect, a Refining Void Realm expert specializing in illusion formations, had been ruthlessly slain by a newly promoted true disciple at the Nascent Soul stage using overwhelming force...

If this got out, what kind of precedent would it set?

Therefore, Jiang Lingfeng must not die.

Not even within the illusion.

Sometimes, occupying the position of a sect leader meant you had to protect your own, no matter what.

At this moment, the barrage of comments in Lu Ze’s livestream exploded once again.

【Whoa, the Sect Leader actually showed up!】

【If you ask me, just give the Sect Leader some face already.】

【You can’t not. Even if it’s just an illusion, Old Demon Lu can’t possibly be a match for the Sect Leader...】

【I’ll tip a Ten Thousand Sword Return, can the streamer show us a live hand-tearing of the Sect Leader?】

【If you tip a Ten Thousand Sword Return, the streamer might have to eat two of those...】

...

Staring at Wei Chengfeng before him, Lu Ze frowned slightly.

A Consolidated Realm cultivator.

An opponent far beyond the usual rank.

In this kind of free combat illusion, even with the advantage of the Illusion Dao, Lu Ze could not hope to last a single exchange against him.

Of course, he was not afraid.

First, because he was in the right in this matter.

Second...

Behind him stood an even more extraordinary figure.

“Spare him where you can?”

Lu Ze sneered coldly, pointing at Jiang Lingfeng.

“When he was wreaking havoc in a junior’s illusion, did he ever consider sparing others?”

“An illusion is just an illusion; this is different.”

Wei Chengfeng shook his head.

He had always believed illusions were merely a tool of amusement.

He could never treat Jiang Lingfeng like some demon just because he had slain a few cultivators inside an illusion.

Lu Ze snorted coldly. “If it’s different, then let me kill this old dog.”

Wei Chengfeng’s brow furrowed deeply, his expression darkened. “Elder Jiang cannot die.”

A surge of spiritual energy rose behind Lu Ze, his eyes icy cold. “He must die today.”

“...”

Wei Chengfeng’s face immediately turned grim.

This was no longer a personal grudge; it was a matter of the Infinite Sword Sect’s reputation.

“Lu, young friend...”

Behind Wei Chengfeng, countless sword and blade phantoms flickered in and out, a fierce sword aura enveloping the entire illusion.

“In the future, I, Wei, will personally visit and apologize face to face to Sect Leader Huang.”

With that, the phantom swords behind him solidified.

Thousands upon thousands of blades surged forward, slashing straight at Lu Ze!

The livestream chat exploded instantly.

【Holy crap! He really went all out!!】

【Damn, the real Ten Thousand Sword Return has arrived...】

【Fellow Daoists, let’s send off Ten Thousand Sword Return for Old Demon Lu!】

【To die under the Sect Leader’s sword, no regrets.】

【One battle to fame!】

【Wait... why didn’t the kill notification pop up in the top right??】

【Is Old Demon Lu still sweating it out?】

【Damn!! Old Demon Lu didn’t die!!!】

...

Countless attacks rained down.

Wei Chengfeng couldn’t help but frown.

Even within the illusion, he could clearly feel that something had blocked his previous strike.

As the smoke cleared,

Two enormous golden palms firmly shielded Lu Ze’s front.

No matter how many tens of thousands of sword and blade strikes rained down, not a single scratch was left behind. Instead, it seemed eager for a fight.

“Who is this mighty expert!?”

Wei Chengfeng gasped sharply.

Such skill...

was not inferior to his own!

This time, he gave his all—one hundred percent focus—as countless sword formations condensed around him.

At the same moment, a strange, deep, and enormous eye appeared in the sky.

Wei Chengfeng’s figure suddenly froze.

An overwhelming pressure crashed against his soul like a tidal wave.

A long-forgotten fear surged from the depths of Wei Chengfeng’s spirit.

Before he could think further, Wei Chengfeng instinctively unleashed a powerful spiritual energy, causing the entire illusionary space to tremble violently.

The enormous, sinister eye in the sky suddenly curved like a slender crescent moon.

“Mortal...”

“Die!”

Two golden palms swelled to several times their size and slammed down like the weight of Mount Tai.

The tens of thousands of swords and blades forged from spiritual energy shattered one by one.

【??? has slain Jiang Lingfeng】

【??? has slain Du Cheng】

【??? has slain Wei Chengfeng】

【??? has slain the genius cultivator】

【??? has slain Unbreakable】

...

Countless kill notifications flooded the upper right corner of the screen.

Then,

the entire illusionary space could no longer hold and collapsed into fragments...

...

A brief collapse, then reconstruction.

The illusionary world was restored under the repair of the remnant spirit of the Heavenly Dao.

“Refreshing, truly refreshing!”

The remnant spirit of the Heavenly Dao shook its head, still savoring the moment.

Encountering a mortal who struggled even a little made it all the more satisfying to strike.

“Such a pity, such a pity...”

Lu Ze shook his head regretfully.

In his heart, he lamented that Wei Chengfeng’s head was not taken by himself, losing a considerable amount of demonic merit.

At the same time, the panicked Wei Chengfeng logged back in, and upon seeing the pale golden silhouette standing beside Lu Ze, he hurriedly bowed deeply.

At his realm, he could vaguely sense the presence of the Heavenly Dao.

That attack just now had clearly contained the genuine power of the Heavenly Dao.

Seeing this scene, Lu Ze immediately grinned.

“I still prefer it when you said you wanted to pay a visit to the Lingxiao Sect...”
