World's Strongest Martial Warrior

Danilo Lujan's pupils contracted involuntarily as he gazed at the green-clad elder who had materialized in the sky above Blood Flame State City. His voice, laden with disbelief, echoed instantly through the heavens.    

Sword Mountain, the former Sect Master of the Blood Sword Immortal Sect, was an unparalleled sword cultivator with exceptional talent.    

At one time, Sword Mountain, being only at the quasi multiplication stage, could hold his own against a cultivator of the multiplication stage with his extraordinary combat prowess.    

Danilo Lujan, of course, could not allow such an exceptional individual to continue to develop within the Blood Sword Immortal Sect.    

And so...    

Danilo Lujan exerted considerable effort and paid a steep price to finally slay Sword Mountain.    

It was beyond Danilo Lujan's imagination.    

The man who should have been dead for countless years had reappeared before him, very much alive.    

Moreover...    

Danilo Lujan could sense that Sword Mountain's current prowess had likely advanced to the multiplication stage, marking him as a true sword cultivator of that level.    

"In fact, I had foreseen that as long as I lived, your Danilo Lujan Sect would resort to any means to eliminate me," Sword Mountain said with a faint smile. "Had I not 'died' once, would your Danilo Lujan Sect have ever allowed me the opportunity to advance to the multiplication stage?"    

Upon hearing this, Danilo Lujan's face contorted with fury.    

In the past, they had gone to great lengths to deal with Jian Chongshan, never anticipating that he would be ready for them. They were clueless as to how he had managed to fool them so completely!    

It seemed that Danilo Lujan had indeed been negligent back then.    

"Jian Chongshan, I never imagined you'd not only be alive but also have achieved a breakthrough to the multiplication stage so swiftly. It's no wonder the Blood Sword Immortal Sect dares to challenge my Danilo Lujan Cult."    

Danilo Lujan's cold stare fixed on Sword Mountain. "But do you truly believe that the Blood Sword Immortal Sect is equipped to take on my Danilo Lujan Sect simply because you've reached the multiplication stage?"    

"I'm well aware of the formidable strength of your Danilo Lujan Sect. Should the five cultivators from your sect launch a simultaneous attack, the Blood Sword Immortal Sect might stand no chance of holding its ground."    

Jian Chongshan's gaze swept over Danilo Lujan and the group assembled behind him. His voice was tinged with a dismissive tone as he remarked, "However, I'm skeptical that the entourage you've brought today will pose any real threat to my Blood Sword Immortal Sect."    

Among those present were the five cultivators of the Danilo Lujan Sect, including the notorious Blood Nine Underworlds, and those not from the Immortal Breaking Universe. Key figures such as Ancestor Blood Yin, the sect master Danilo Lujan Tian, and the Left Guardian, Blood Yuan River, were also in attendance.    

Jian Zhongshan had anticipated as much.    

With the recent incursion of the Blood Sword Immortal Sect into Blood Flame Province, it was expected that the Danilo Lujan Sect would be incensed. He had presumed that both Danilo Lujan and Blood Yuan River would be compelled to retaliate.    

Yet, to his surprise, only Danilo Lujan had made the journey to Blood Flame Province City this time.    

Facing both cultivators would have been a daunting challenge for the peak of Sword Mountain. However, with only Danilo Lujan present—even considering his cultivation had reached the late Great Perfection Stage—Sword Mountain had no reason to fear.    

Of course, what they didn't realize was that Xue Yuanhe had previously resorted to a forbidden technique in his search for Peter Parker and Jian Chongshan, which had severely diminished his cultivation base. He was still recovering from the aftereffects.    

Otherwise, why wouldn't Danilo Lujan have brought Xue Yuanhe along today?    

"Why speculate when we can find out for ourselves?" Danilo Lujan's voice broke the silence, and with it, a terrifying aura emanated from his being.    

Observing Danilo Lujan's body radiating with intense blood Qi, Jian Chongshan acted swiftly, summoning a massive blood-colored heavy sword into his palm.    

With a resounding rip, an unseen blood-colored sword light cleaved through the heavens, tearing the fabric of space like a tidal wave and revealing an elongated, blood-hued tunnel.    

The sword qi surged with intensity, piercing the heavens as it raced toward Danilo Lujan. Jian Chongshan, undaunted by Danilo's advanced standing in the Mahayana Realm, launched a direct assault that reverberated through the cosmos.    

Danilo Lujan, unfazed by the formidable sword that cleaved through the sky, curled his fingers and thrust his hand forward into the emptiness before him. With a sharp "Puchi!" sound, five slender beams of blood-red light shot through the air. They merged into a staggering blood arrow that clashed with Jian Chongshan's sword strike from Sword Mountain.    

A thunderous "Bang!" echoed as the void shattered and reality seemed to crumble. The clash unleashed a maelstrom of energy, a bloody tempest with the potential to annihilate both heaven and earth, spreading outwards like petals tossed by a deity.    

The might of two Ascended Realm cultivators clashing was truly fearsome. The protective formation hovering above Blood Flame State City quivered, barely holding against the onslaught of the blood-red tempest, threatening to reduce the city to rubble should it fail.    

With a slight furrow of his brow, Jian Chongshan commanded, "Condense!" He pointed decisively, and the blood-red storm assaulting the city's defenses coalesced. A wave of his sleeve, and the tempest dissipated into oblivion.    

"Danilo Lujan Tian, let's take our battle to the void," Jian Chongshan declared. His voice barely faded before he transformed into a streak of blood-colored light, rocketing skyward. In a blink, he was ten thousand miles aloft.    

Danilo Lujan responded with a disdainful snort, becoming a surge of blood-red brilliance that ascended toward the heavens. His aura radiated in every direction, like a sanguine sun suspended high above, casting the clouds in a sinister, blood-red hue.    

Confronting the towering sword peak, Danilo Lujan's cold laughter echoed through the air. "Sword peak, your eagerness is your downfall. You should not have faced me so soon after your breakthrough to the multiplication stage."    

Sword Peak was an unrivaled master of the sword, boasting extraordinary talent within the Blood Sword Immortal Sect. Renowned as a rising star among the Upper Tier elites of the Immortal Breaking Universe, he could even hold his own against cultivators at the multiplication stage.    

Should Sword Mountain persist in his clandestine cultivation, reaching a level of power equal to Sword Peak's, even he would struggle to contend with him. Yet, for the time being, Sword Peak remained at the nascent stage of the Upper Tier.    

Today, Sword Peak was resolute; no words would deter him from slaying Sword Mountain and eliminating the significant threat looming over Danilo Lujan's sect.    

"Is that so? You've said as much before, but as you can see, I'm still standing," Sword Mountain retorted with a smirk.    

Sword Peak stood with an air of invincibility, his sword sheathed at his back, amidst a sea of clouds. He appeared as if a supreme sword immortal had graced the mortal realm.    

"Last time, my carelessness was your saving grace. You won't be so fortunate today," Sword Peak declared with cold certainty.    

Danilo Lujan's aura erupted, his monstrous blood-red True Yuan and magical power surging to the skies. The eerie cries of ghosts and wolves emanated from his very being.    

Then, a blood-red blade light, exuding a terrifying murderous intent, soared across the heavens and earth like a ferocious blood dragon, cleaving through the atmosphere and dispersing the clouds.    

"Jian Chongshan, since I failed to end you before, your fate is sealed today!" Danilo Lujan proclaimed.    

As his words echoed, the blood dragon converged into his palm, morphing into a sinister blood blade. With a fierce grip on the weapon, Danilo Lujan unleashed a devastating slash.
