I Have Another Identity

Initially, Li Guanqi and Ye Feng had appeared relatively calm. Though rage smoldered in their hearts, their reason had kept it suppressed. Yet the instant Cao Zhennan appeared, their reason seemed to collapse in a single heartbeat! *Boom!* Furious flames seemed to roar skyward from the depths of Li Guanqi's eyes. In a flash, the left and right flanks of the ancient sword coffin snapped open. Two longswords—one black, one red—shot into his grasp! The moment Li Guanqi gripped Red Lotus and Yanluo, terrifying sword intent soared into the heavens! In the space of a single breath, the heavens and earth changed color as gale-force winds surged! Dense, dark clouds blanketed an area of a hundred li in an instant, and amid flashing lightning and rolling thunder, torrential rain poured down! Frightening bolts of thunder struck toward the earth one after another, their deafening roars ceaseless! The power of the Sword Prison enveloped the world! At this moment, the sky, raked by raging pressure, seemed on the verge of doom. Li Guanqi fixed his glare on Cao Zhennan, making no attempt to conceal the murderous intent in his eyes! Ye Feng looked even more ferocious, half of his face fully transforming into the visage of a sinister ghost. Terrifying sword intent tore through the void, golden light flashing into existence. Nearby, both Meng Wanshu and Xiao Chen's expressions shifted. They still did not know what had transpired, or why Cao Zhennan's arrival had provoked such a drastic shift in the other two's emotions! With one hand, Ye Feng slammed the coffin sealing the old man beside him down onto the void! A terrifying shockwave forced everyone back more than a thousand zhang. The sword in his hand slashed diagonally upward from below! "Aaaagh!" A scream of agony rang out, only to be cut short by flashing sword shadows! Shrieks echoed repeatedly from within the pitch-black flaming coffin, and the crowd watched as a thigh went flying out. Then, everywhere the sword light passed, slices of flesh thin as cicada wings flew into the air! The spectating cultivators' eyes widened at the sight, and sharp intakes of breath sounded one after another. Their throats bobbed with difficulty as they watched in disbelief. Their mouths fell slightly open, yet not a sound escaped... That old man was Southern Heavenly King Cao Zhennan's biological father! These outrageously young fellows were hacking him to pieces without a single word? Down in the mortal world below the mountains, was this technique not slicing by a thousand cuts? "*Gulp*... Who... who are these people?!" "What terrifying strength! They're both in the Void Refining Realm... yet Cao Weiyi couldn't even fight back!!" "When did so many monsters appear in the Six Domains? Wait... that sword casket... a blind man... is he Yan—!!!!" A Void Refining elder emerging from the domain realm stared fixedly at Li Guanqi, sheer horror in his eyes! Without another word, the elder turned, tore open space, and fled, not even daring to glance back once. Cao Zhennan suddenly sensed his father's aura within the coffin. His eyes went wide as he roared, "Stop!!!!" Ye Feng murmured with a twisted sneer, "Stop?" "Who do you think... you are?" *Thwack! Thwack!* His hands did not pause for an instant, and in the blink of an eye, the flames surrounding the coffin gradually dispersed. The onlookers were greeted by a chilling sight! The old man's dantian and origin spirit were utterly sealed by the power of two heavenly flames, preventing him from utilizing even a trace of power from his origin spirit or divine sense. It was fair to say the old man's life rested entirely in the golden-haired young man's hands. With a mere thought, the old man's origin spirit would be instantly consumed by heavenly flames. Even now, his origin spirit endured the soul-searing agony of heavenly flames every waking moment! His hair disheveled, his robes burnt to ash, the old man was stripped bare from head to toe. His body was pinned firmly in midair by the flaming coffin, his right leg severed at the hip. His remaining arms and left leg were reduced to bare bone, with only shreds of flesh clinging to them! Witnessing this, Cao Zhennan looked ready to tear the corners of his eyes from rage, yet though he gripped his sword, he did not dare step forward half an inch. Facing the four Void Refinement cultivators across from him, he forced himself to steady his mind and growled, "Who are you?" "What is your purpose in coming here?!" *Bang!* Spatial power rippled around Li Guanqi as he instantly drew the coffin to his side. Narrowing his eyes at Cao Zhennan, he slowly extended his left hand toward the old man. "Who am I?" As he spoke, Li Guanqi's fingers reached toward the old man's eye socket, scooping like a spoon. "My name is Li Guanqi." "Aaaagh!" A blood-curdling shriek suddenly ripped from the old man's throat, piercing the sky! While speaking, Li Guanqi had gouged out the old man's left eye with his bare fingers! The spectating cultivators were already wanting to leave. This... was too terrifying! Moreover, that blind man in white harbored far too vicious a hostility. Worst of all... the man's expression had not shifted in the slightest while doing all of this. It was as natural as reaching out to pick up a teacup, devoid of any emotional fluctuation! "You dare, brat?!" *Boom!* Livid with rage, Cao Zhennan slashed out a vast sword beam! The ice-blue sword beam radiated eerie ice-blue flames; seeing this, the murderous intent in Li Guanqi's heart grew even deeper! *Bang!* *Boom!* A streak of crimson slashed through the void, thrusting directly against the massive sword beam. The spear glow shook the heavens, piercing straight through the sword light! Xiao Chen stood sideways, his gaze sharp as a blade, whispering coldly, "Even trash like you dares to strike?" As he spoke, flames exploded beneath his feet, and his form vanished, reappearing behind Cao Zhennan like an elusive wraith! Cao Zhennan's face changed drastically. His body twisted as he attempted to shift positions. Yet how could Xiao Chen fail to perceive that power? Heavenly flames spread through the void around him, forcefully locking down the surrounding space within a thousand zhang in an instant. Twisting his waist and executing a profound movement technique, he closed in immediately, his spear batting aside the incoming sword. Shifting his footing, he spun around completely, his right hand gripping the Blood God Spear as he thrust it violently forward! The spear shot forth like a dragon, tearing through all of the man's defenses with unstoppable force and instantly skewering his shoulder. The crimson spear burst straight through his body! *Squelch!* "Urgh!" Clad in white, Xiao Chen held one hand behind his back and lifted the man into the air with the spear in his right hand. "That's all?" Li Guanqi expressionlessly crushed the old man's eyeball in his hand and reached toward the old man's right eye. The old man was terrified into voiceless trembling, his entire body shaking violently. In an instant, a foul, reeking stench spread through the air. Li Guanqi frowned slightly. Glancing down, he formed a spatial crushing force directly at the old man's crotch! Veins bulged along the old man's neck. Blood poured from his hollow sockets, twisting his face into an agonizing grimace. Li Guanqi tossed the eyeball aside like garbage, speaking in a calm voice. "Perhaps the Southern Heavenly King, perched high above, has never heard of me." "I have another identity." Impaled and suspended in midair, Cao Zhennan snapped his head around to glare at Li Guanqi, roaring with murderous fury, "If you dare kill my father, I'll drag every last one of you down with him today!!!" At this point, he could not register anything Li Guanqi was saying. Murderous rage spread wildly in his heart as he raised a hand and crushed an ice-blue jade pendant. Li Guanqi, however, gestured for Xiao Chen not to stop him, letting him call for reinforcements. He wanted to see who would dare come to Cao Zhennan's aid today!
