"Kill!——————"

In an instant, all the residents of the small town revealed their true skills. Battle auras flared, magic incantations resounded, and chaos erupted. The baker's hands burst into blazing fire, the butcher's knife gleamed with blade energy, a hunched old woman drew a sword from her cane, and a flower-selling girl scattered a basket of flying daggers. All kinds of strange weapons and skills were displayed, which left Chen Xuanfeng slightly stunned.

However, although these warriors were considered elite, most of them were only Sword Heroes capable of emitting "Star Battle Aura," with just a few Sword Masters among them. Only three could cast magic of level six or higher. On the other hand, there were over a dozen experts who practiced other secret arts instead of battle auras or magic. Still, this kind of lineup wasn’t enough to concern Chen Xuanfeng.

"Ye Ge, Xue Li, you two take care of these rabble. Don't let them interfere with us," Chen Xuanfeng said coldly. His main target was ahead, and he had no time to waste on these underlings. After commanding the elf sisters, his body suddenly erupted in the black flames of the "Nine-Headed Dragon Battle Aura," forming a vision of a nine-headed dragon around him. Paying no heed to any attempts to stop him, he charged straight for the "Hua Yin Tower."

Jin Luosha closely followed Chen Xuanfeng, her six luminous wings spreading out behind her, layers of magical shields protecting her. She completely disregarded the surrounding attacks and continued forward. Li Jia, on the other hand, activated her artificial Dragon Knight abilities, instantly disassembling and reassembling her right hand into a sharp sword. She moved at speeds beyond human limits, darting around Jin Luosha and cutting down any warriors who posed even the smallest threat to her master. She never strayed far from Jin Luosha's side.

The true slaughter of the town's inhabitants was carried out by the twin high elf sisters.

The younger sister, Xue Li, possessed high elf blood and had inherited the "Dream Coronet" as well as the second-best epic divine weapon, the "Sighing Holy Bow." Though Xue Li's own abilities were far from Arrow God level, the "Sighing Holy Bow," an unmatched divine weapon, carried the experience and skills of its previous owners, allowing her to gradually master them. Combined with her months of training in the unique skills of the "Setting Sun Heaven Bow," she had far surpassed her master, Chen Xuanfeng, in archery. The "Dream Coronet," a supreme elven treasure, gathered vast stellar power, even during the day, supplying Xue Li with endless magical energy while heightening her six senses. Thus, each time this beautiful elf girl drew her longbow, she loosed a dozen star-powered magic arrows. Each arrow automatically homed in on its target and carried special effects like penetration, armor-breaking, magic-disruption, and explosion. With no distinction between long or short range, almost the entire town was within her attack range, causing chaos among the hundreds of soldiers.

The experienced warriors stationed there quickly realized that they could not allow this overwhelmingly powerful elf archer to continue her attacks. Those closest to the city gate charged towards Xue Li, braving the storm of starlight arrows.

Unfortunately for them, their charge was halted ten steps in front of Xue Li by a large blade.

The blade was 1.67 meters long, as clear as crystal, with a segment of strange spine condensed inside it. The tsuba resembled a tiger's claw, and at its center was an eye-sized gem. The long handle, spiraled like a cone, radiated magnificent purple light. The overwhelming dark power surged like a roaring sea, its might akin to heaven collapsing and earth shattering.

It was the "Demon Blade—Tiger Soul."

At this moment, the demon blade that Chen Xuanfeng had cultivated, aiming for the title of the number one divine weapon, was wielded by the elder twin sister, Ye Ge. The dark elf girl no longer resembled an assassin of the "Shadow Killer" class. Her long blade moved fiercely, her aura soaring, adopting a berserker's fighting style. Even her once ice-red eyes now emitted inches of purple crystal light, influenced by the dark power of the "Tiger Soul."

The reason Ye Ge had transformed into this state was, of course, due to Chen Xuanfeng's doing.

Originally, Chen Xuanfeng's purpose in acquiring the twin sisters was to see if they could control the "Dream Coronet." Therefore, he did not pay much attention to Ye Ge, who had dark elf heritage. However, the unexpected events during the coronet inheritance ceremony elevated both Ye Ge and Xue Li's powers significantly, causing the wolfman to reconsider the value of this enslaved girl.

Initially, Chen Xuanfeng planned to teach Ye Ge the Nine Yin White Bone Claw and the Heart-Crushing Palm to make her an excellent assassin. However, Li Jia later proposed another path, which greatly intrigued Chen Xuanfeng.

This method was known as "Weapon Enslavement Art." Since the "Tiger Soul Blade" was formed because of Chen Xuanfeng, he naturally became the "weapon master," and it could not serve another. However, in ancient martial arts, there was a secret technique called "Weapon Slave," which involved using a powerful divine weapon with a consciousness of its own to dominate and enslave a person. The weapon's consciousness would control the person's mind, continuously infusing its power into the person, allowing even a weak individual to gain tremendous strength and combat prowess. However, the corresponding drawback was that the human body would quickly collapse under the immense power of the weapon due to attribute differences and overload. Even with other methods of support, such a person could hardly live more than a year or two.
