#266 - Xu Ming, die! (4000 words)

None of the guests reacted to what had happened.

By the time they came to their senses, the Tianxuan Sect cultivators had already drawn their weapons and were hacking at them.

The scene instantly descended into chaos.

Next to Xu Ming, a Tianxuan Sect deacon pulled out a giant axe and slashed at Xu Ming.

But before Xu Ming could get up, this deacon was blasted into a cloud of blood by Wu Yanhan's punch.

The other cultivators who were about to hack at Xu Ming were stunned for a moment, completely intimidated by Wu Yanhan.

But just as they were in a daze, a sword qi slashed across their throats, and blood splattered out.

Before these cultivators could even make a move, they fell directly to the ground, their blood continuously staining the earth beneath their feet red.

"Actually, I've been wanting to ask for a while now, is it easy for you to fight like this?" Xu Ming patted his hands, stood up, and asked with a smile.

"What's wrong with fighting like this?"

Wu Yanhan tore open her skirt, and the long skirt that originally reached her ankles was torn into a short skirt by the girl, revealing her snow-white calves and knees.

"Are you sure you won't be exposed like this?"

In this life-and-death situation, Xu Ming seemed to be worried about some irrelevant issues.

Wu Yanhan rolled her eyes at Xu Ming: "I'm wearing a magic treasure underskirt under my skirt!"

"Then let's go together."

Xu Ming drew out the Nine Heavens Cloud Lightning Sword and charged towards Xia He, but Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan were unable to approach Xia He.

Many cultivators surrounded Xia He, fearing that he would suffer the slightest harm.

So when Xu Ming rushed forward, many deacons attacked Xu Ming, but they were all killed by Xu Ming with a single sword.

The sword qi surrounding Xu Ming shattered one cultivator after another into pieces.

Xu Ming took the time to glance at Wu Yanhan, worried that something might happen to her, but Xu Ming felt that he was completely overthinking it.

Wu Yanhan, who was already in the Golden Body Realm, had completely improved her strength by several levels.

Martial artists are divided into three major realms—Body Refinement, Qi Refinement, and Spirit Refinement.

The Golden Body Realm is the first realm among the three realms of Spirit Refinement, equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm among cultivators.

The greatest characteristic of the Golden Body Realm is that it is invulnerable to swords and spears, with an indestructible body. It can withstand all kinds of magic with just its physical body.

Although Wu Yanhan's body is still as soft as an ordinary woman's, no one can break her golden body.

Especially in this kind of close-range chaotic melee combat, Wu Yanhan often takes a life with one punch.

Even a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator standing in front of Wu Yanhan would lose half of his life from Wu Yanhan's punch.

And the Nascent Soul Realm is an existence that can establish a sect. Even if the Tianxuan Sect is one of the five major sects, how many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators can it have?

It can be said that from this moment on, Wu Yanhan has completely entered the first-class ranks of combat power in the cultivation world.

Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan cooperated with each other.

Xu Ming helped to decipher some of the distant Dao techniques, and then Xu Ming protected Wu Yanhan in close combat.

These cultivators were almost certain to die as long as they were within ten steps of Wu Yanhan.

The cooperation between the two was very tacit, and the two could not help but think of their childhood.

When they were on missions together in the Blood Floating Pagoda, they experienced life and death together like today.

On the other side, Wang Xuan and Qin Qingwan also charged towards Xia He.

Facing his former fellow disciples, Wang Xuan held a horsetail whisk and wiped them out with a casual wave, without the slightest bit of mercy.

"Elder Wang Xuan, from today onwards, the Tianxuan Sect will no longer exist. Why doesn't Elder Wang Xuan join us and ascend to the Great Dao together!"

The Sword Peak Peak Master of the Tianxuan Sect held a long sword and stood in front of Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan calmly looked at the Sword Peak Peak Master: "I always thought you wouldn't rely on this Xia He. What benefits did he give you?"

The Sword Peak Peak Master shook his head: "What benefits can compare to ascending to the Great Dao?"

In the eyes of Sword Peak Peak Master Li Yi, a deep melancholy flashed: "I have been delayed in the Jade Purity Realm for too long. Even if I can't enter the Ascension Realm in this life, I also want to enter the Immortal Realm and see the scenery on the top of the mountain. Realm is what we cultivators seek in our entire lives."

Wang Xuan shook his head, with only pity in his eyes: "You are wrong. Our founding ancestor once said that what cultivators seek in their entire lives is to verify their own Great Dao, to verify their own hearts.

And the improvement of realm is just a product brought about in this process.

Furthermore, do you think that following Xia He will allow you to enter the Immortal Realm?

The so-called Great Dao is all walked out by oneself. How can one rely on others?

This is our Tianxuan Sect's ancestral teaching. Every disciple who enters the Tianxuan Sect sees the first stone, and the words engraved on it are these words."

"Hahaha," Li Yi laughed loudly, "If there is no hope, why would I rely on others? Or does Elder Wang Xuan have a way to let me enter the Immortal Realm? Oh, right, you also have a disciple who is a good dual cultivation body. Why don't you give me your disciple?"

"How sad."

Wang Xuan waved his horsetail whisk, and the clouds in the sky transformed into the Four Divine Beasts, pouncing towards Li Yi.

"The Four Divine Beasts Celestial Phenomenon!" Li Yi raised his head and looked at the approaching Four Divine Beasts, "It is rumored that Elder Wang Xuan used this technique to kill a demon king in the Southern Realm. I want to learn from it."

Li Yi slashed with his sword, cutting the Four Divine Beasts formed by these white clouds into several pieces, but these Divine Beasts recombined again.

The Vermilion Bird among the Four Divine Beasts cried out, unexpectedly spewing out Vermilion Bird True Fire.

Li Yi broke through with his sword, and in an instant, he was about to stab Wang Chen's chest.

However, the White Tiger grabbed down, slapping Li Yi from top to bottom, directly smashing a mountain peak.

Immediately afterwards, ten cultivators flew up and surrounded Wang Xuan.

These ten cultivators did not fight Wang Xuan, but formed a formation, trapping Wang Xuan inside.

Wang Xuan chanted the magic formula again.

A long river of time appeared under Wang Xuan's feet, wanting to plunge these people who were besieging him into this long river.

But these ten cultivators took out a piece of black jade.

A total of ten pieces of black jade bloomed with black light.

These rays of light intertwined continuously, forming a cage in less than a breath, trapping Wang Xuan inside, unable to come out.

"Master!"

Qin Qingwan shouted and was about to save her master.

And Qin Qingwan was naturally noticed by others.

In the Tianxuan Sect, who doesn't know that Qin Qingwan is a good dual cultivation body? Not to mention that Qin Qingwan is so beautiful, she is even in the top ten of the Red Beauty List!

Cultivators are also people. Cultivators are not uninterested in beauties, nor are they without desires.

Relatively speaking, most cultivators' desires will increase with the improvement of their realm. It's just that they have already shifted their thoughts about ordinary people, gold, silver, and treasures to immortals and natural treasures.

And in this kind of chaos, Qin Qingwan is like the best trophy!

However, just as these people wanted to seize Qin Qingwan, ten cultivators directly protected Qin Qingwan's side.

At the same time, under the Xuan Tian Tree, the Tianxuan Sect's guardian spirit had stopped shouting.

The Tianxuan Sect's guardian spirit knelt on the ground, its head lowered, and its long hair disheveled.

With the Tianxuan Sect's guardian spirit as the center, the soil became increasingly black and continued to spread around.

The springs in the plains turned pitch black, turbid like ink.

"Xia He! What exactly do you mean?"

"Xia He! Aren't you afraid of being besieged by the major sects for doing this?"

"Xia He, are you crazy?!"

One guest after another who came to congratulate him fell into a pool of blood.

They couldn't figure out what Xia He was going to do.

Or rather, why did Xia He do this?

"Crazy?" Xia He turned around, looked at the crowd, and sneered a few times, "I'm not crazy. Not only am I not crazy, but on the contrary, I'm very awake. You should also feel honored, honored to be the nourishment for me to break through into the Ascension Realm!"

"Xia He! You madman!"

The elders leading some sects rushed forward together.

But facing these people, Xia He was not in a hurry at all.

Xia He directly ate the original heart of the Tianxuan Sect's guardian spirit into his stomach.

A huge amount of luck filled Xia He's body.

Xia He waved his sleeves, and all the cultivators who rushed towards Xia He exploded into a cloud of blood.

Boom! With a loud noise.

The entire Tianxuan Sect was constantly shaking.

The Tianxuan Sect's luck transformed into threads, continuously pouring into Xia He's body.

The entire Tianxuan Sect's formation was activated just like that.

But the activation of the Tianxuan Sect's formation was not to resist foreign enemies, but to kill fellow disciples.

Yin-yang fish emerged from all around the Tianxuan Sect, penetrating one Tianxuan Sect disciple after another's body.

These disciples all exploded into a cloud of blood, and the blood mist transformed into black threads, continuously condensing and compressing towards the sky above the Xuan Tian Tree.

Those dead foreign guests were not spared either.

The bodies of the dead guests were continuously swallowed by black water, and finally gradually merged into the black soil.

In the Three Stone Peaks, red rays of light flew out from the Three Stone Peaks, also converging into the blood ball above the Xuan Tian Tree.

In the empty prison of the Three Stone Peaks, Xu Cang and others all frowned.

Cold sweat was constantly pouring from their foreheads, and their blood and spiritual power were being fiercely extracted by the formation.

"One incense stick's time..."

Xu Cang and others closed their eyes.

Xu Ming only has one incense stick's time. After one incense stick, himself and the others will surely die.

Not just himself.

In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xia He will likely ascend to the Ascension Realm. When that time comes, anyone who tries to resist Xia He will not be left alive!

At this moment, most people in Baiquan Plain already understand what Xia He intends to do.

Xia He is using the slaughter of Tianxuan Sect disciples and foreign guests as nourishment to help him enter the Ascension Realm!

Most people are still filled with despair.

Looking solely at Baiquan Plain, nearly half of the hall masters, peak masters, elders, and stewards have betrayed and become Xia He's people.

The other half, before they could react, were ambushed by those around them, suffering injuries to varying degrees. Some even died on the spot.

Not to mention, the elders leading the congratulatory delegations to Tianxuan Sect are generally only at the Nascent Soul Realm.

Cultivators above the Fifth Realm are transcendent beings. Even the Four Great Sacred Grounds wouldn't bother sending cultivators above the Fifth Realm to lead delegations for celebrations.

Therefore, Xia He's realm is the highest present. Furthermore, the other Immortal Realm cultivator, Wang Xuan, is currently trapped and unable to escape.

The vast majority of people have already foreseen their death.

Just as most cultivators were filled with despair,

a sword light flashed before their eyes.

The sharp sword energy mingled in the air, as if with just a forceful breath, the sword energy would enter your body, severing your internal organs.

Everyone fixed their eyes to look.

A young man was holding a long sword, advancing fearlessly.

"Courting death!"

Xia He coldly snorted, reaching out his hand to grab at Xu Ming.

A massive Dharma Image appeared before Xu Ming, as if wanting to crush Xu Ming into powder!

Xu Ming slashed with his sword, the Grass character swordplay shattering the giant hand Dharma Image.

However, the immense spiritual wave knocked Xu Ming back. Xu Ming plunged his long sword into the ground, the Nine Heavens Cloud Lightning Sword carving a crack more than twenty meters long.

"Pfft!" Xu Ming spat out a mouthful of blood.

"This young man is indeed not bad," Xia He praised.

Xia He hadn't seen such a genius in a long time.

"Father, please hand this man over to your son. Your son wants to kill him with his own hands!"

Seeing Xu Ming suffer a significant injury, Xia Donghua's breathing quickened.

Xia Donghua's hatred for Xu Ming had reached its peak.

The previous humiliations could only be repaid with his life!

Otherwise, his Dao Heart would be unstable!

Not to mention that Xu Ming is currently ranked second on the Azure Cloud榜.

If he were to kill Xu Ming, regardless of the method, as long as he died by his hands, then he would become second on the Azure Cloud榜!

Hatred and vanity had made Xia Donghua impatient!

"Go, be careful," Xia He nodded, not stopping his son.

Xia He was also aware that this Xu Ming had almost become his son's inner demon.

He had to let Xia Donghua personally resolve this inner demon.

Otherwise, when Xia Donghua undergoes tribulation to enter the Golden Core Realm from the Dragon Gate Realm later on, he might very likely perish and his Dao disappear because of this inner demon, Xu Ming.

"Yes!"

After receiving his father's permission, Xia Donghua, holding his long sword, directly charged towards Xu Ming!

He couldn't beat Xu Ming before, but couldn't he beat him now?!

Today, he would make sure Xu Ming died without a burial ground!

"Xu Ming! Prepare to die!"

Xia Donghua chanted an incantation, transforming into an ink dragon, as if man and sword had become one, stabbing towards Xu Ming's heart.

In everyone's opinion, it was already an extraordinary feat that Xu Ming was able to block Xia He's attack earlier.

And now, being severely injured, facing the opponent's full-force sword strike, everyone felt that Xu Ming was doomed.

But

facing the sword stabbing towards him, the corners of Xu Ming's mouth slightly curved upwards.

As if.

He was waiting for this sword strike.
