#16 - I'm pissed you off, old man.

No one had expected the final showdown of the Genius Selection Competition to evolve into such a situation.

The heaven-blessed genius, Xiao Xu, was so high-spirited, looking down upon his peers, surrounded by a halo of glory.

But such a halo was only a fleeting ephemera, ruthlessly crushed by Jun Wu Xie.

One sword!

No! Jun Wu Xie didn't even formally execute a sword technique. The moment the sword was drawn, merely the pervasive sword intent caused Xiao Xu's sword energy to completely collapse, and even the Xiao family's treasured spiritual weapon became unresponsive.

Xiao Xu was defeated, utterly defeated!

Logically, the competition should have ended here.

However, the Great Elder of the Xiao family suddenly stepped onto the stage, intending to attack Jun Wu Xie!

Everyone scorned him, this was truly shameless.

"Little bastard!" The Great Elder's old face burned under the gazes of the crowd, but he knew he absolutely could not abandon Xiao Xu, staring at Jun Wu Xie with a cold and gloomy expression, saying, "You can deceive the masses, but you cannot deceive this old man! Your dantian is shattered, it's impossible for you to cultivate sword intent. This competition, you must have used underhanded means to deceive everyone's eyes!"

"Old bastard!" Jun Wu Xie pointed his sword at Xiao Xu's throat, mocking, "So, on this stage, only Xiao Xu is allowed to win? Anyone else who wins must have used underhanded means?"

"You still dare to quibble?"

The Great Elder sneered repeatedly.

"Elder Xiao," Lord Wu couldn't stand it any longer, "Jun Wu Xie summoned a spiritual sword from within his body, this is Sword Integration. Before the Cave Heaven Realm, only those who have comprehended sword intent can do this, this is an undeniable fact."

"Lord Wu, you are unaware," the Great Elder said confidently, "This little bastard's dantian was shattered half a year ago, it's impossible for him to cultivate sword intent, and even his seemingly Initial Stage cultivation is just a facade! Tell me, how can someone without a dantian break through to the Initial Stage? Therefore, what he is showing now must be a false image created through special cheating methods!"

For a time, everyone was silent.

Yes, a shattered dantian makes it impossible to break through to the Initial Stage, and comprehending sword intent is even more difficult.

Repairing a dantian is almost impossible for the people of Qingyang City. Even in the Great River Sword Sect, such a top sect, repairing a dantian is extremely difficult.

"Little bastard, quickly release Xiao Xu and confess to your cheating in public!"

Seeing everyone's silence, the Great Elder couldn't help but become imposing. Jun Wu Xie alone, still wants to fight the entire Xiao family supported by Elder Qi?

The corners of Jun Wu Xie's mouth gradually curled into a cold smile, and the sword in his hand suddenly thrust forward.

"No!"

Xiao Xu's pupils suddenly contracted, screaming in fright.

"You're courting death!"

The Great Elder attacked, blasting over with a palm strike.

Jun Wu Xie didn't even look at him, raising his left hand and throwing a punch.

Golden blood energy surged out from within the fist at the moment of the punch, like a fierce tiger emerging from its cage, the roar of the tiger shaking the entire arena.

With a boom.

The Great Elder's arm exploded, and he was directly blasted off the stage. While in the air, he sprayed blood wildly.

"Impossible! He doesn't have a dantian, how could he cultivate true qi!"

After landing, the Great Elder covered his broken arm, his expression twisted, roaring in both physical and mental pain, appearing deranged.

"That's not true qi, that's blood energy!" Lord Wu's eyes shone with strange light, exclaiming, "He's actually a body cultivator! A body cultivator who has comprehended sword intent! Heavens, this is simply unbelievable..."

"This... impossible!"

Even Elder Qi was shocked and stood up, his gaze uncertain.

The high-level members of the three major families and the City Lord's Mansion also watched Jun Wu Xie on the stage in shock.

This young man has created too many miracles!

What does a body cultivator represent?

Body cultivators are very different from ordinary physical martial artists.

Generally speaking, physical martial artists refer to those in the Acquired Realm. Due to the lack of systemic support, they can only stop there for life.

Body cultivators are different. They refer to martial artists who have found unique cultivation methods, can cultivate a system, and can break through to the Initial Stage. Only such martial artists can be called body cultivators!

Body cultivators have strong bodies and vigorous blood energy. Both their strength and endurance in battle are stronger than true qi martial artists of the same realm.

It can be said that in the same realm, true qi martial artists are basically not opponents of body cultivator martial artists.

A body cultivator who has comprehended sword intent, cultivating both body and sword, how terrifying is that?

"Impossible... I don't believe it... I don't believe it..."

The Great Elder roared, unable to accept such a fact.

"Does your disbelief change the facts?" Jun Wu Xie looked down at the Great Elder below the stage, saying, "May you die of anger, you old bastard!"

Pfft!

The Great Elder was enraged and attacked his heart, spitting out a mouthful of old blood, fainting on the spot.

"Jun Wu Xie, you've already won, release Xu'er, he's your cousin!"

Xiao Xing's body swayed slightly. If someone wasn't supporting him, he probably wouldn't be able to stand due to anger.

"Cousin?"

Jun Wu Xie smiled, the sword blade piercing Xiao Xu's neck skin, causing blood to flow. Xiao Xu trembled all over, not daring to move, his face covered with fear, almost collapsing.

Jun Wu Xie looked at the Xiao family, his voice low and deep, saying, "Half a year ago, my bloodline was taken away. What did this cousin do? He kicked me when I was down, piercing my chest with a sword. If I hadn't been lucky, would I still be standing here now?"

Instantly, the entire audience was in an uproar!

No wonder the number one genius of Qingyang City suddenly became paralyzed in bed, so that's what happened!

Xiao Xu is too vicious, actually harming a clansman in that kind of situation?

"An eye for an eye will only lead to endless cycles of revenge. Jun Wu Xie, Xu'er was wrong, but you can't disregard family ties. Do you really want to kill a clansman in public? You know the clan rules, killing a clansman is a capital crime!" Xiao Xing said.

"Such a capital crime!" Jun Wu Xie stared at Xiao Xing, "When Xiao Xu killed me, wasn't that killing a clansman? Since it's a capital crime, why didn't you judge him, and instead cultivated him as the young master?"

"This..." Xiao Xing forcibly argued, "This is to take into account the overall situation of the family. My Xiao family cannot be without a leading figure of the younger generation. You were already crippled at that time, and Xu'er is a heaven-blessed genius, so naturally he must be cultivated. We can't just watch my Xiao family decline due to a lack of successors."

"That's your explanation?"

The sword in Jun Wu Xie's hand slowly thrust forward, the sword blade gradually piercing Xiao Xu's throat, blood gurgling out.

"Stop!"

Xiao Xing's eyes were about to split, his face full of despair, collapsing into the chair, his whole body trembling and convulsing.

"Wu Xie, enough is enough."

Several figures came rushing from afar, and an old voice came over.

"The Xiao family's elders have arrived."

The high-level members of several major families looked at the arriving elders.

"Wu Xie, how about we end today's matter here?" An old man with a ruddy complexion and white hair and beard said apologetically, "This old man knows that you have suffered a lot of grievances in the past six months. The family is sorry for you, but I hope you will consider the future of the family and let Xiao Xu go."

"Haha, hahaha!"

Jun Wu Xie laughed, his laughter somewhat desolate.

The Xiao family, the family he had lived in for more than ten years, the family he had once given everything for, had disappointed him to the extreme at this moment.

In the past six months, would the elders not know about his experiences?

But none of them came out to care!

Now, the elders want him to swallow all the grievances, abandon all the hatred. Is it fair to him? Have they considered his feelings?

"Xiao Xu, admit defeat, quickly admit defeat!"

The Xiao family's Second Elder said urgently.

Pfft!

As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Wu Xie pierced Xiao Xu's throat with a sword, nailing him to the stage, blood slowly spreading on the ground.

Xiao Xu's eyes widened, opened his mouth, but couldn't make any sound, his pupils gradually dilating...
