You Shouldn't Have Crossed Me!

Zhang Qixuan, who had just been fawning obsequiously with an expression of utter humility, was scared out of his wits! Shooting backward over a hundred zhang, he snapped his head up to look at the appearance of the person before him! The newcomer had sharp, well-defined features, a mole on the bridge of his nose, and a handsome face, while his bloodshot eyes displayed an eerie blend of red and white. Who else could it be but Li Guanqi? Zhang Qixuan's chest heaved violently, his face deathly pale. Anyone who had been bowing low only to have a severed head suddenly shoved in front of them would jump in fright. Not to mention that he had been plagued by uneasiness since morning, as if having a premonition that something terrible was about to occur. The conspiracy between him and the Yu clan regarding Li Guanqi's sword coffin was known only to him and the people of the Yu clan! Yet now, Yu Changbo's severed head was held right in Li Guanqi's hand, and the gaze directed at him was dripping with playful malice. That chilling gaze, combined with the blood splattered across the young man's face, made him appear all the more sinister and terrifying. Li Guanqi sneered, "Old Man Zhang... I never expected we'd meet again." Indeed, Zhang Qixuan looked somewhat different now compared to his appearance back in Fulong Village, but there was still a seventy percent resemblance. Even now, Zhang Qixuan still clung to the vain hope of bluffing his way through. Wearing an unnatural smile, he looked toward Li Guanqi and gave a strained laugh. "Haha, so it's Guanqi." "What... what is the meaning of this?" Li Guanqi dangled the severed head and sneered, "Oh? What does it mean?" "Looks like you've really gone senile in your old age..." A flash of displeasure crossed Zhang Qixuan's face, and he said, "Guanqi, no matter what, I am still an elder to you. Being so overbearing is uncalled for." Li Guanqi scoffed. As he spoke, he tossed Yu Changbo's head down at the old man's feet. Frightened, Zhang Qixuan took a step back. Immediately after, Li Guanqi's voice slowly drifted over. "Truly, the older some people get, the more shameless they become..." As he spoke, Li Guanqi could barely contain his surging killing intent. *Boom!* A violent pressure erupted in an instant as Li Guanqi bared his vicious fangs! In an instant, dark clouds swallowed the entire Domain Lord barrier. The heavens and earth changed color as tens of thousands of lightning bolts struck recklessly down toward the ground! Zhang Qixuan had initially assumed someone else must have killed Yu Changbo, especially since he did not see Li Guanqi carrying the sword coffin on his back. He had thought that Li Guanqi had failed to locate the Yu clan's hidden domain, and as long as he refused to admit anything to the bitter end, Li Guanqi would be powerless against him. Yet now... The old man's pupils contracted sharply. Trembling, he realized he seemed to have grossly underestimated Li Guanqi's strength. Li Guanqi hurled severed heads one after another toward Zhang Qixuan. Tilting his head, his eyes—brimming with murder—locked onto the old man in a dead stare. "Every soul in the Yu clan above the Nascent Soul realm has been wiped out by my hand." With those words spoken, Li Guanqi roared furiously, "Mark! Manifest!" *Buzz!* A mysterious ripple instantly propagated outward. Immediately afterward, an arc of thunder and lightning, hidden deep within Zhang Qixuan, abruptly flashed into view! At this sight, Zhang Qixuan's expression changed drastically. Abandoning all pretense, he drew his sword and retreated explosively! "Hmph! Li Guanqi, so what if you managed to kill Yu Changbo!" "Since the domain's seal is still in place and no outsiders can enter, don't blame your Grandpa Zhang for being ruthless!" Li Guanqi burst into wild, arrogant laughter! His laughter echoed through the clouds as five severed heads rose to hover beside him. His gaze was glacial. Repressing a monstrous fury in his voice, he closed his eyes in agony and said in a frigid tone: "Of all the things you shouldn't have done... you... should never have touched my master!" "Zhang Qixuan, today I will make you understand what it means to beg for life in vain and pray for death without release!" "I will tear out your divine soul and subject it to the torment of thunderous retribution every single day for tens of millions of years!" *Rumble!* Li Guanqi clenched one hand, and a ten-zhang thunder tower slowly materialized! Inside the thunder tower, there were currently only three illusory, aggrieved souls. The Liu clan ancestor Liu Peiyuan, clan head Liu Xiaochen, and Liu Yunxuan. Last time, in order to resist Zhang Qixuan, Li Guanqi had shattered the Punishment Tower to bolster the power of his sword momentum, yet he had still been unwilling to kill these three. Zhang Qixuan sneered, "What an arrogant, ignorant fool!" Li Guanqi's expression gradually grew calm, burying all the murderous intent deep within his heart. His six years in God Burial Ridge had long tempered his disposition to be rock-solid. Opening his left hand, a blood-red longsword instantly flew into his grasp. Li Guanqi lightly swung the sword with his left hand. In an instant, the ground shattered under a violent gale, tearing open a hundred-zhang chasm! That formidable power caused Zhang Qixuan's expression to turn gravely serious. Li Guanqi gave Zhang Qixuan no time to react. Exerting force through his feet, his figure shot forward with explosive speed! Li Guanqi tore through the void like a bolt of purple lightning, the space along his path shattering completely! In a state of Dragon Transformation across his upper body, Li Guanqi's physical strength was terrifyingly immense. Suddenly! A glint of cold light flashed through Zhang Qixuan's eyes. As he retreated in an explosive flash, dozens of eerie dark-gold chains shot forth! "God-Sealing Xuanming Chains!" Every single chain was as thick as an arm, and the darting dark-gold chains danced wildly like spirit serpents. Li Guanqi narrowed his eyes. He sensed an exceptionally powerful sealing force from these chains. Yet right after, a sneer curled on his lips as the sword hilt in his hand softly blossomed with power. Red Lotus radiated an excited, surging battle intent, indomitable and unyielding! The spear-like chains lunged straight for Li Guanqi's head, while Zhang Qixuan simultaneously stepped along the chains to close the distance. Lightning flashed beneath Li Guanqi's feet. Shifting sideways by three feet, he slashed his sword furiously at the chains! *Clang!* Sparks showered in all directions. Crimson light surged across Red Lotus's blade, and under the power of Blade Break, it severed the chains clean in two. At this sight, the old man's expression soured drastically. He had never imagined that a spirit treasure-grade sealing artifact would be so fragile against the sword in Li Guanqi's hand! With his left hand, Li Guanqi's strikes were as swift as lightning, crisscrossing crimson sword lights instantly tearing through the air in a chaotic flurry. Li Guanqi came to a halt in midair as countless shattered fragments of the artifact plummeted all around him. Looking up at Zhang Qixuan a hundred zhang away, he sneered, "Is this all you have?" The old man's face turned as foul as if he had swallowed a dead fly. "If... you are only at this level, you aren't even Yu Changbo's equal." *Boom!* Running his cultivation method at full power, the primal energy refined by Li Guanqi's spiritual root erupted with a horrifying destructive force! A blood-red illusory figure resembling an immortal emperor materialized behind Li Guanqi—the manifestation of his Sword Soul! Yet Li Guanqi knew full well that his Sword Soul was merely a faint projection of the sword spirit. In truth, it was only when Li Guanqi's sword intent reached the peak of the Sword Soul Realm that he gained a subtle, elusive comprehension of the sword spirit's power. It was an unyielding, wild confidence that looked down upon all living beings with disdain. No matter who stood before it, the sword spirit never held them in any regard. Li Guanqi pointed his sword at Zhang Qixuan, tilting his head slightly back and looking down with frigid eyes as he said: "You killed my master and seized my sword coffin." "Zhang Qixuan, you... crossed the wrong person." *Boom!* The domain trembled and caved as Li Guanqi's figure vanished from where he stood. Immediately after, nine identical figures appeared between heaven and earth! "Spell: Body Becomes Nine Dragons!"
