Lin Wujiu, Han Sijin, Ran Qingshuang!

Speeding in from afar, Lin Wujiu was consumed by fury. He, too, saw Qisha's tragic, near-death state. In an instant, rage flooded his mind. As he shot forward at full speed, he actually crushed all five ancient rings on his right hand!! Lin Wujiu, who had originally been only at the seventh tier of the Xuan Immortal realm, unexpectedly saw his aura surge in a single instant all the way to the peak of the second tier of the Heavenly Immortal realm!! Although it was merely a pseudo-Heavenly Immortal realm, the dao ring of spiritual charm behind him was undeniable!! "Cut the motherfucking chatter, kill him!!" His eyes bloodshot, Lin Wujiu held out his right hand in an empty grasp, and Li Guanqi instantly hurled Red Lotus through the air to him. Li Guanqi drew the Xue Ming Sword with a reverse grip. Through telepathy, the two cried out in unison: "Sword Ruins—Open!" "Sword Ruins—Open!" *Boom!!!!* An incomparable sword dao pressure erupted from each of their bodies. Two currents of Po realm sword intent soared into the heavens, churning the wind and clouds!! Lin Wujiu took the lead, raising his hand to unleash several rapid slashes!! The terrifying pressure emanating from the Red Lotus Sword was beyond anything Lin Wujiu could even comprehend... When he severely wounded an opponent with just two strikes, he looked in disbelief at Red Lotus in his hand and licked his lips in excitement. "So this is what the good stuff feels like..." "What on earth have I been using all these years? Fire pokers?" Behind him, the three elders of the Lin family each engaged an opponent as well. Yet at that very moment, a terrifying pressure suddenly burst forth from within Li Guanqi before Liu Xiong!! "Revelation: Blood-Dyed Twilight Sky!!" Once Li Guanqi unleashed his full power, Liu Xiong had no attention left to spare for anything else. His eyes were fixed solely on Li Guanqi. "The Soul-Nourishing Nectar is on you, isn't it?" "You severed my wrist back then and snatched the soul lamp... Did you ever think we'd meet again so soon?" "Li Congxin!!" Li Guanqi looked at Liu Xiong as if looking at a fool. Gripping Xue Ming tightly in hand, that terrifying pressure imposed an inexplicable, suffocating weight. "Why waste your breath on so much rubbish?" The moment the words left his mouth, Li Guanqi vanished from the spot. Enhanced by his movement technique, his speed was enough to completely overpower Liu Xiong!! Liu Xiong's expression changed. His perception could no longer keep pace with his opponent's speed. Suddenly! Liu Xiong whipped around, slashing his dual short blades in two bizarre arcs toward Li Guanqi! Having already crossed blades with him before, how could Li Guanqi be unprepared? With a slight twist of his sword, he parried both strikes. Liu Xiong pushed off the impact to retreat, turning his head toward Lin Wujiu to bark chillingly, "A mere Lin family of Qinzhou dares poke its nose into Xutian Palace's affairs? Aren't you afraid our Xutian Palace will wipe out your Lin family?!" At those words, the Lin family elders who had accompanied him all changed color. Their attacks even showed a hint of hesitation. Before arriving, none of the three had known they would be facing people from Xutian Palace!! They had assumed it was merely a friend of Lin Wujiu in trouble, requiring reinforcements. When Liu Xiong uttered those words, the threat in his voice was unmistakable. Xutian Palace of the Linluan Realm—that name alone was enough to crush many clans and sects!! Furthermore... Liu Xiong's eyes flickered. With his discernment, he could naturally tell there was something unusual about Lin Wujiu. His strength had soared too rapidly, not to mention that peculiar aura just now!! The aura and power on him were cut from the exact same cloth as Li Guanqi before him. This was likely some extraordinary technique; if he could obtain it, he would surely receive a supreme reward upon returning to Xutian Palace! Li Guanqi also caught the strange glint in Liu Xiong's eyes. Turning to Lin Wujiu, he transmitted his voice in a low tone: "This guy has probably noticed the power of the Sword Ruins! Strike with thunderous force to eliminate any future trouble!!" Lin Wujiu narrowed his eyes. Wheeling around, he severely wounded the black-robed man before him with several sword strikes, then turned toward the elders beside him to send a low voice transmission. Hearing this, all three elders frowned slightly. Yet immediately after, their strikes turned even more ruthless!!! Still, the enemies were numerous, and for the moment, victory remained undecided. Seeing this, Li Guanqi pressed Liu Xiong ruthlessly without hesitation. The man drew another short blade, attached steel wires to it, and unleashed his previous blade technique once more in an attempt to suppress Li Guanqi. Yet with two slashes from Li Guanqi, the remarkably tough steel wires snapped upon impact! Li Guanqi sneered. Such petty tricks were something he had seen long ago back in the lower realm. Yet right at that moment, Li Guanqi sensed several immensely powerful auras rapidly approaching!! The newcomers had no intention of concealing their presence, and their aura was unmistakably the same as that of Xutian Palace's people. Li Guanqi's gaze sharpened. Looking around, he noticed the Lin family members had already fallen into a disadvantage. Almost every one of the four Lin family members had to face two to three assassins. These assassins struck with brutal viciousness, not hesitating to trade wounds for lives, and their ability to seize fleeting opportunities far surpassed ordinary cultivators. Just as Li Guanqi hesitated, the whistling sound of tearing air echoed around them, and a terrifying sword light flew in from the distance. Wherever it passed, the ground was gouged into a deep furrow by the sword qi. A man clad in green robes, his tiger-like eyes blazing with spirit, charged in with sword in hand!!! Liu Xiong had long anticipated this and barked chillingly, "Han Sijin!!" Hearing that, Han Feng's killing intent surged even higher. Moving like a tempest, he arrived in an instant!! With a single thrust of his sword, he pierced straight through a black-robed man's head, violently ripping it off. Holding the severed head, Han Feng glared at Liu Xiong with furious eyes. "Dog bastard, today we settle old scores and new debts all at once!!" And that was not all—a spear radiance of frosty cold shot in from the distance like a streak of flowing light!!! "I'll help you!" Hearing a woman's clear, spirited shout, everyone was taken aback. Yet that spear radiance could not be taken lightly. Two black-robed men hastily pulled back and combined their strength to block, but the spear radiance carried an incomparable, overbearing force. It forcibly broke through their joint defense, piercing clean through both of their shoulders. Taking advantage of the opening, the four Lin family members pressed forward with overwhelming power to suppress and slaughter the two. Looking valiant and heroic in her martial robe, slightly dark-skinned, Ran Qingshuang stood with her spear held in a reverse grip!! At this point, Li Guanqi, Han Feng, Ran Qingshuang, plus the four from the Lin family— The seven held their respective positions, actually encircling Liu Xiong and the remaining six assassins in their midst. Liu Xiong stood at the forefront of his men, covered in blood. Looking up at those before him, his face was dark with malice. "Good, good, good..." "The Lin family of Qinzhou, the Ran family of Yongjiang... just the likes of you dare get involved?!" "It seems our Xutian Palace hasn't slaughtered enough sects and clans over the years." "Any random nobody thinks they can meddle in our Xutian Palace's business now!!" With that, Liu Xiong raised his hand and crushed a pitch-black scroll. *Bang!!!* *Hum!!!* A powerful wave of spatial ripples swept across instantly. Several pitch-black spatial rifts were slowly torn open. Right after, ten black-clad figures stepped slowly out from the rifts to the left and right. A soft-featured, handsome young man glanced at the disheveled Liu Xiong and sneered mockingly, "Who would've thought you'd have a day like this? What a sorry sight you are."
