I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

The owner of Qiufeng Tower stood quietly in the courtyard.

The light curtain covering the wooden house in front of him kept rippling like water waves, blocking his way.

But he was not in a hurry, he just kept counting down at a steady pace.

If someone uses an hourglass to measure time, he will find that the interval between each beat is exactly the same.

And every interval is like a sword being unsheathed.

There is only one last time left.

Xie Yuan hasn't come out yet.

It seems that he has undergone profound changes after becoming the head of the Xie family.

The owner of Qiufeng Tower naturally knew Xie Yuan very well. He had investigated him thoroughly from the very beginning and paid all-round attention to him afterwards.

The person who knows you best is naturally your enemy.

In particular, the owner of Qiufeng Tower recognized that this formation master of the Mu family should be the one who had been standing behind Xie Yuan and helped him escape from his hands.

If it were in the past, this trick would definitely work.

He was a foolish boy who dared to stir up trouble with the Qian and Yao families over a trivial matter.

Now he has become like a real patriarch, corrupt, ruthless, and difficult to deal with.

The owner of Qiufeng Tower had a blank expression on his face, but he did not seem discouraged.

Provoking the opponent didn't work, but the final sword had to be struck, even though Xie Yuan didn't care about the woman's life.

The countless souls killed by the sword of Master Qiufeng knew that he never broke his promise.

But after this sword strike, he had to think about whether to launch a violent attack like a storm or use other means.

Following the emotionless final countdown, the owner of Qiufeng Tower gently shook his hand.

With the skills honed over thousands of times and the profound realm, this seemingly simple sword is enough to kill most masters in seconds.

But the sword did not pierce the light curtain.

clang--

An ancient bronze tripod blocked the sword.

Xie Yuan flashed out from behind the tripod, holding a golden axe horizontally, and with a loud roar, he swept through the enemy troops with one move.

The owner of Qiufeng Tower gently retreated to avoid the powerful axe, and then looked up and down at Xie Yuan with a strange light in his eyes.

He did not rush to attack, but sneered:
"It seems I overestimated you again."

Xie Yuan finally came out.

The owner of Qiufeng Tower felt neither sad nor happy, but just shook his head secretly.

Nothing more.

Xie Yuan stood solemnly with an axe in hand, pointing his halberd at the owner of Qiufeng Tower:
"town!"

The Mountain and River Cauldron grew in the wind, covering the head of the owner of the Autumn Wind Tower and emitting a bright green light downwards.

The shrouded master of Qiufeng Tower felt heavy all over and moved slowly.

Xie Yuan did not waste the opportunity. He first swung his axe vertically, cut out a black and gold cross, and blasted it towards the enemy through the air.

Xie Yuan now has mastered more advanced axe skills. If he uses the previous axe skills, the power will be greater and the speed will be even faster. He can attack in an instant without building up momentum.

The cross with a frightening glow instantly appeared in front of the master of Qiufeng Tower.

His face was calm, and he took a step forward. His whole body leaped into the air like a ghost and dodged the attack perfectly.

Even though the Mountain and River Cauldron was covering his head, the Lord of Qiufeng Tower was still extremely agile.

If it weren't for the Mountain and River Cauldron, Xie Yuan probably wouldn't be able to keep up with his body movements, and even now he wouldn't have an advantage.

But Xie Yuan didn't need an advantage, he just needed an opportunity to strike.

The shadow of a huge axe has taken shape. Xie Yuan holds the axe high above his head with both hands, his face flushed.

He forcefully mobilized the spiritual power in his abdomen and once again exerted his strength to split Mount Hua!
"open!"

Xie Yuan roared and chopped down with both hands.

The phantom of the giant axe moved synchronously, falling towards the front slowly but actually quickly.

boom--

The ground sank several feet and cracked where the sharp blade was pointing. That was exactly where the master of Qiufeng Tower was standing.

He can still use it?
The face of the master of Qiufeng Tower became solemn again. Only when facing this move could he have uncontrollable emotional changes.

Seeing the huge axe blade coming towards him, it seemed that he had no way to avoid it.

Even though he had unparalleled physical skills, he was restricted at this moment. No matter how agile he was, he could not dodge the giant axe that was more powerful than ten masters.

He might be able to avoid the direct hit, but the giant axe's sharp blade of dozens of feet high destroyed everyone equally, and even the aftermath a hundred feet away carried tremendous power.

How can one stand under the giant axe that splits the mountain?
The owner of Qiufeng Tower took a deep breath and his figure flickered slightly.

boom!
Xie Yuan chopped down Huashan with all his strength, splitting the small courtyard that condensed the brief happy memories, along with the stream beside it and the woods in the distance.

A terrifying ravine extended through the forest. All the trees and streams disappeared, leaving only deep cracks.

In the smoke and dust, Xie Yuan held the axe and stared intently, his mind raised, and suddenly his body froze.

He saw a dim shadow standing on his Mountain and River Cauldron.

It’s the owner of Qiufeng Tower!
Xie Yuan's eyes were deep. He actually dodged again, using the Mountain and River Cauldron itself to restrict him!
Although the Mountain and River Cauldron was covering the head of the Master of Qiufeng Tower, it was only far away in the air and could not block anything for Li Pi Huashan.

However, when Xie Yuan chopped down with his giant axe, the master of Qiufeng Tower did not retreat but advanced instead, facing the axe light from the sky, and directly curled up to hide in the blind spot covered by the Mountain and River Cauldron, avoiding the frontal attack!

I have to say that this method is indeed useful, and the "Splitting Huashan Mountain with Force" did not achieve the desired effect at all.

But this method requires unimaginable courage, determination, and physical skills. One must make a judgment in an instant and successfully implement it, and accurately dodge before the axe blade that is about to chop down in the blink of an eye. If it were any other master, he would probably just be self-defeating and seek his own death.

He deserves the reputation of being the world's number one assassin.

But even if Xie Yuan himself dodged such a powerful attack behind the Mountain and River Cauldron, it would be impossible for him not to be affected by the aftermath, not to mention the owner of the Qiufeng Tower who had usurped the throne.

He coughed twice to steady his slightly disordered breathing.

The smoke and dust cleared, revealing the figure of the Autumn Wind Tower Master. He stood quietly on the edge of the tripod, looking at Xie Yuan, and said coldly:

"Can you come again?"

Xie Yuan tightened his grip on the axe and did not answer.

The owner of Qiufeng Tower snorted coldly:
"Do you think you can stop me by taking the magic elixir? You don't even have time to refine it, and you are so eager to die. I will grant your wish."

At this time, Xie Yuan's face turned red and white, and his aura was fluctuating. Not to mention him, even an ordinary master could see Xie Yuan's condition at a glance.

If you take it so hastily and indiscriminately, even if you gain spiritual power, how long can it last?

In this situation, the best way is to wait. If Xie Yuan waits for a while, he will not be able to hold on any longer.

But the master of Qiufeng Tower is so powerful that he would be inferior if he dragged his feet. Could it be that three swords and two knives could not kill the reckless person?
What's more, there is a formation master inside, and Xie Yuan can often create miracles, so the owner of Qiufeng Tower doesn't want to worry about it.

He stood on the tripod and suddenly began to swing his sword.

shhhhh--

Countless sword energies suddenly burst out from around Xie Yuan, completely enveloping him.

He swung the axe to protect his body, but a lot of sword energy still leaked in, causing ripples on the Indestructible Golden Bell.

Even with the replenishment of the demon's core spiritual power, the Immortal Golden Bell Cover did not recover to its full state at this time. Instead, there were some specks of light in the pure light gold, which were the spiritual power forcibly injected by Xie Yuan.

Although the strength has been increased, it is still not as pure as it was at its peak, and the defense has declined.

It was dangerous to resist the missed sword energy in this state, so Xie Yuan had to turn the axe into a spear.

As the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear came out, the long spear danced around his body like a dragon, blocking most of the sword energy.

Upon seeing this, the Lord of Qiufeng Tower just continued to stand on the Mountain and River Cauldron, dancing phantoms with his hands.

He was clearly enveloped by the green light emanating from the cauldron, but at this moment he seemed to be controlling the cauldron.

Countless sword energies enveloped Xie Yuan like a dense rainstorm.

Xie Yuan had never felt such a strong sword energy. It was clearly sent from a distance, but it was as if the owner of Qiufeng Tower was using it right in front of him. Not only did it have different angles and powers, it even changed and swung, heading straight for Xie Yuan's flaws. It was clear that the sword energy had already left his body!

Is this the strong man who has passed the bridge to the sky? His spiritual awareness and martial arts are not at the same level as the masters under the double bridges, and his moves all look amazing.

Xie Yuan gritted his teeth and said nothing, relying on the nearly infinite external spiritual power in his abdomen to resist.

The Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear and the Immortal Golden Bell Cover both carried some colorful light, mixed with the invisible sword energy, and the bursting spiritual light made the sky brilliant.

Under the light of fireworks, the owner of Qiufeng Tower, who stood proudly on the Mountain and River Cauldron, swung his sword like the wind, while Xie Yuan, who was struggling to hold on, had a flickering expression on his face.

Xie Yuan swallowed the demon core forcefully, so naturally he couldn't refine the spiritual power in it. Fortunately, the Eternal Flame, the Rush of the Great River, and the Fire of the Red Lotus Karma all worked together. Even though he was uncomfortable after turning into a furnace for the second time, he could still move freely with his perseverance and experience. It should be noted that if other masters were in this situation, they would probably be like being poisoned, unable to move at all, and even the risk of exploding if they moved a little more.

Although this spiritual power could not be used for his own benefit for the time being, it could be emitted. The greater the external pressure, the smoother Xie Yuan's spiritual power output became.

The violent sword energy of the Qiufeng Tower Master is like real gold forged in a raging fire.

He naturally noticed something was wrong and frowned slightly.

Xie Yuan's current situation was different from what he had imagined, which made him a little confused.

If others took all kinds of rare treasures to fight, they would be as incapable of moving as if drunk. Why did Xie Yuan become more and more courageous as the battle went on?
Not only did he not fall down, but he became familiar with it.

It seems that this person is not acting rashly.

The owner of Qiufeng Tower had a change of heart and naturally would not help Xie Yuan.

As he took a step, his figure suddenly flashed forward, almost as if he had teleported.

However, although the Mountain and River Cauldron was not moving that fast, the light was always locked on him, like a dragon-binding rope, slowing down his speed.

Xie Yuan retreated almost simultaneously, always keeping a distance from the owner of Qiufeng Tower.

The owner of Qiufeng Tower had no choice but to stop, retract his short sword, and look at Xie Yuan.

His body was covered with scars, but his eyes were still bright.

Even if I can't get close, my sword energy from a distance is not easy to resist, but...

The owner of Qiufeng Tower spoke calmly:
"How long can you last if you continue like this?"

"It's as long as you can hold out."

Xie Yuan answered quietly.

Qiufeng Tower Master frowned slightly:

"What's the point?"

“Never retreated.”

Xie Yuan said calmly.

The owner of Qiufeng Tower snorted and glanced at the house behind Xie Yuan calmly.

He must be waiting for the formation.

He was not in a hurry. He just stepped on the tripod and stared at Xie Yuan:

"You will die eventually. If you still insist on not taking the tripod away, I will skin you alive."

Xie Yuan remained silent.

Without the Mountain and River Cauldron to help him defend himself, facing the magical sword light of the Lord of Qiufeng Tower, even with the help of Jianxin, he could not block it all.

But if he took the Mountain and River Cauldron and without its suppression, with the master of Qiufeng Tower whose realm and speed far exceeded his own, he would probably die even faster.

It's really a dilemma.

only……

"He must have thought that I was waiting for Miss Mu to set up the formation, but Miss Mu didn't have the strength left.

"But as long as he thinks so, that's fine."

If I can hold on a little longer and make him anxious, then I will have a chance.

Impatience is a flaw.

It was really difficult to make a top assassin like Qiu Feng Louzhu anxious;

It is even more difficult to persist in his violent attacks and even hide your purpose and status.

But no matter how difficult it is, we have to go on like this.

Seeing the owner of Qiufeng Tower wave his hand, another sword energy storm came.

Xie Yuan took a deep breath and suddenly turned his spear into a sword.

The sword of fleeting light!
The wind around me slowed down.

This time, Xie Yuan did not move, but just carefully felt the sword energy around him.

The slowed-down sword energy was reflected in my mind, like a human figure.

There were assassins from Qiufeng Tower and clones of the master of Qiufeng Tower lurking around him.

They have different postures and tricky angles, some aiming at their vital points, some just to leave a wound.

Xie Yuan was blessed with a spiritual feeling. He felt his mind become clear after the sword energy slowed down, and he could see everything about the irresistible storm.

He simply closed his eyes.

The sword's heart is like a mirror, always clear.

The sword energy around is clearly visible, and there is a fixed order for coming and going.

Although the sword moves of Qiufeng Tower Master have reached perfection and are close to the Tao, flaws can still be found in this situation.

Xie Yuan nodded slightly and swung the sword in his hand.

Ding ding ding ding——

The long sword danced like a phantom, colliding with the surrounding sword energy, and actually made a sound of metal clashing.

That was because the sword energy of the Lord of Qiufeng Tower was too sharp, like a weapon.

However, this time, although Xie Yuan's Xuanbing changed from a long spear to a shorter sword, the arc of the sword's moves was not as wide as the range covered by the spear.

The sword energy storm was completely blocked.

The owner of Qiufeng Tower suddenly paused.

His eyes froze as he looked at Xie Yuan who had his eyes closed, and he opened his mouth uncontrollably.

An incredible look flashed across his face, his lips drooped, and he swung the dagger even faster, as if it had completely disappeared, leaving only an afterimage in his hand.

boom--

Xie Yuan seemed to be facing a storm that swept across the huge city. In the storm, there were not raindrops or hail, but countless sharp swords!
The scene reflected in Jian Xin made him look solemn, serious and solemn, but not afraid.

With his eyes still closed, he raised his sword.

The dazzling golden sword light pierced through the dark thunderstorm clouds and tore them apart.

Just like the morning light penetrates the sea of ​​clouds and illuminates the earth.

Xie Yuan tore apart the storm of sword blades, then shook his sword, pointed it diagonally at the ground, and slowly opened his eyes.

The owner of Qiufeng Tower opposite had his mouth wide open, and a clear look of shock appeared on his always blurred and ruthless face.

He broke my city-destroying sword energy with his eyes closed?

How much is his cultivation level?

Even if the master of Qiufeng Tower had a will as strong as iron, he was still shaken and trembled at this moment.

However, when he saw Xie Yuan's condition with his eyes filled with violent fluctuations, his eyes suddenly became like an eagle's.

Sure enough, even though his sword moves were as powerful as a god, his condition was seriously damaged at this time. He broke his sword moves but could not break his realm. The shock alone took half his life.

We can't keep him any longer, it's now!
When the master of Qiufeng Tower was in a state of confusion, he keenly seized the opportunity of Xie Yuan's disordered breath and made up his mind.

He suddenly burst out with an even faster speed, partially breaking through the suppression of the Mountain and River Cauldron, pointing his dagger forward, and rushing towards Xie Yuan at high speed!
Xie Yuan could already feel the sharpness of the sword and the murderous intent of the owner of Qiufeng Tower from a distance. Even his chest, which was pointed by the sword, felt a stinging pain through the Immortal Golden Bell Cover.

he came.

It's now.

Xie Yuan's entire body was ablaze with fire, and all of his pure spiritual energy burst out.

However, this spiritual power did not flow around the body and use the skills, but most of it was added to the Mountain and River Cauldron.

The hazy green light enveloping the owner of Qiufeng Tower became brighter, and the stagnant and heavy feeling instantly intensified, causing the owner of Qiufeng Tower to almost sink.

He was slightly startled, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Unexpectedly, after fighting for such a long time, Xie Yuan could actually make the suppressing power of the tripod even stronger!

Why didn't he use it? Why did he wait until now?

Xie Yuan used almost all of his strength to bless the Mountain and River Cauldron, and then he used the Fleeting Light and Shadows mental method to withdraw and retreat.

With one slow move and one quick move, Xie Yuan instantly created enough distance between himself and the owner of Qiufeng Tower and raised his hands.

The shadow of a giant axe as big as a hill slowly condensed above his head. He looked at the owner of Qiufeng Tower who was trying hard to break free from the green light, shouted loudly, and chopped down with both hands!

"open!"

Split Huashan with all your strength!

The huge axe shadow pressed down like a mountain, and the owner of Qiufeng Tower, whose body was frozen, had no way to avoid it.

Looking at the axe shadow pressing down, the owner of Qiufeng Tower opened his eyes wide, snorted angrily, and the boots on his feet suddenly glowed and exploded.

He suddenly disappeared from where he was, and then emerged from behind the axe shadow.

He shuttled through and avoided the powerful attack without any damage.

This is the real shadowless step, this is the real teleportation!

Xie Yuan had already gathered his strength right after he made his move, and with both hands he raised the axe again, in order to prevent the attack from failing.

Just as his axe shadow was gathering, the barefoot owner of Qiufeng Tower rushed towards him like a flash of lightning!

No matter how strong his physical skills were, he would have encountered obstacles in dodging this attack. However, he did not expect that the owner of Qiufeng Tower would dodge in such a clean and neat way, and penetrate the axe shadow so quickly!

Xie Yuan gritted his teeth and tried to chop it down forcefully, but he had not yet gathered enough strength to split Huashan Mountain, and was unable to defeat the owner of the Qiufeng Tower, whose movements were as fast as a god.

He was about to ignore it when he suddenly felt a dim light appear.

A formation plate floated in the messy courtyard, and the Bagua Lotus was spinning rapidly on it.

The black and white light enveloped the owner of Qiufeng Tower, as if locking him in a prison!

The owner of Qiufeng Tower froze in anger, and swung his short sword thousands of times in an instant, trying to break open the black and white light prison.

A muffled groan came from below. Xie Yuan gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and held his breath to concentrate.

The next moment, the axe shadow had solidified, and he chopped it down without hesitation!
The second move is to split Huashan Mountain with force!
Xie Yuan's face turned pale, but he picked up the axe again.

The owner of Qiufeng Tower looked at the huge axe pressing down, with a determined light in his eyes.

He let out a long roar, and the powerful energy around him surged, breaking the suppression of the Mountain and River Cauldron in an instant.

The precious light lit up, and the owner of Qiufeng Tower swung his dagger and stabbed at the huge axe blade like a mountain!

boom!
The earth-shaking explosion brought about a boundless gale and shook the earth and mountains.

The light on the Qiufeng Tower Master's body suddenly brightened and dimmed, and countless protective treasures exploded at once, with blood gushing out.

However, he actually withstood this mountain-splitting blow, took a step forward, and continued to stab forward regardless of anything!
But when he looked up, he found that another axe shadow was slowly falling and was approaching him!

Through the dazzling golden axe light, he vaguely saw Xie Yuan, with a pale face and exhausted body, standing high in the sky, looking down at him coldly.

"Thank you--Yuan--!"

The roar of the Lord of Qiufeng Tower was drowned out by the brilliant golden light.

call out--

Amidst the earth-shattering explosion and the golden halo that leveled the mountaintop, an inconspicuous lightless dagger flashed like lightning, traversing the sky and earth in an instant, piercing through the energy from the center of the axe blade, tearing apart everything, and stabbing at Xie Yuan. By the time Xie Yuan discovered it, it was too late.

But he just happened to fall down due to exhaustion.

The dagger pierced through his head, blowing his hair apart. The remaining Immortal Golden Bell Cover couldn't even stop the aftermath, and the sword even cut a hole in his forehead, with blood flowing out and covering his cheek.

Xie Yuan subconsciously wiped his forehead, which was bloody red.

He felt a little scared. He didn't expect that the owner of Qiufeng Tower had no intention of saving himself. He was extremely cruel and decisive and only wanted to die with him.

With the power of this final blow, any normal master would probably try to fight for his life.

Fortunately, I managed to dodge this attack by accident...

Xie Yuan looked at the valley that had completely changed and let out a long sigh.

He saw with his own eyes that the owner of Qiufeng Tower was torn into pieces by the huge axe blade.

The leader of Qiufeng Tower, the most feared assassin in the world, is dead.

Killed by himself.

Xie Yuan staggered to the ground, almost unable to stand.

He looked over and saw some scattered pills with his extraordinary eyesight.

If it weren't for the fact that the master of Qiufeng Tower had a very high level of cultivation and a very strong physique, he would not have been completely destroyed by such an attack, and if he had not protected some of the things on his body, I'm afraid nothing would have been left.

Xie Yuan waved his robe sleeves, rolled up the pills and put them away, then ran into the barely intact hut.

Inside the house, Mu Chaoyun was leaning against the wall. When he saw him come in, he smiled weakly:

"You actually killed him directly... I really didn't expect it."

"Do not talk."

Xie Yuan frowned, identified the pills, and his eyes lit up.

Fengshen Runfu Dan!
When he was lurking in the Yao family, he could not use the Fengshen Runfu Dan with the identity of Yao Tianchuan. Only the second-grade Fengchi Runfu Dan was a life-saving miracle drug.

There are only a few pills of Fengshen Runfu Pill in stock in the entire Yao family. They are used to save the lives of the clan leader and core elders, and are said to be able to revive the recently dead.

The life-saving elixir that the owner of Qiufeng Tower carries with him is of course the most top-notch miraculous medicine.

Xie Yuan immediately fed it to Mu Chaoyun, then pressed her lower abdomen and transferred his true energy into her to help her refine it.

This battle was a near-death experience several times. It was really a stroke of luck that I was able to kill the owner of Qiufeng Tower and escape unscathed.

If any link is missing, the result will probably be completely different.

Especially without Mu Chaoyun's final attack through the air formation, Xie Yuan was afraid that he would not be able to launch the second attack and all would be lost.

But Mu Chaoyun's forceful action made her already pessimistic situation even worse.

At this moment, Xie Yuan felt his heart sink as he stroked Mu Chaoyun's lower abdomen and felt the condition of her dantian.

Dying, no exaggeration.

Fortunately, after taking the Fengshen Runfu Pill, Mu Chaoyun adjusted his breathing for a while and managed to maintain his condition.

She opened her eyes slightly and smiled softly:

"Don't worry, I won't die."

"Why are you so fond of laughing again at this time?"

Xie Yuan was a little angry.

Mu Chaoyun's lips curled up even higher:
"Because I originally thought... today was the last day. How can I not be happy to have more time with you?"

Xie Yuan's eyes welled up when he heard this, and he complained in a muffled voice:

"Don't talk, just heal your wounds first."

Unexpectedly, Mu Chaoyun shook his head gently:
"Let's go first."

Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, then frowned and said:
"Your body..."

"Phoenix God Nourishing Fu Dan...Yao's life-saving golden elixir, it can keep you alive for a long time. It's not a problem."

Mu Chaoyun said.

Xie Yuan nodded silently and said no more.

He supported Mu Chaoyun and tried to carry her on his back, but he stumbled and they both fell down.

"Ouch……"

Mu Chaoyun called out softly and frowned.

Xie Yuan quickly climbed up from her and checked everywhere:
"Miss Mu, are you okay?"

"……without."

Mu Chaoyun hesitated to speak and still did not stop Xie Yuan from inspecting him.

Fortunately, it's not serious.

Xie Yuan's actual condition was also in a mess. To ensure that nothing could go wrong, he summoned all the spiritual power he could mobilize and forcefully performed the Huashan Splitting Technique three times.

If you use this kind of axe technique as a three-axe attack, even if you rely on external force to succeed, the burden on your body can be imagined.

Now Xie Yuan's body was covered with sword wounds and his meridians were empty. He was completely overdrawn and had bursts of pain. There was external spiritual power at work in his dantian, and for a moment there was even a sign that he was the host, so the situation was not optimistic.

"Let's go."

Xie Yuan steadied his body, carefully carried Mu Chaoyun on his back, then endured the pain like a knife cutting and burning in his body and left steadily.

The flattened valley became quiet.

The wild animals and birds living here either died or fled. After Xie Yuan and his companions left, the valley was dead silent.

Until one day and one night later.

Two streams of light flew from the sky in the east.

When they got closer, I saw two people in the flowing light, one old and one young, both wearing gorgeous clothes with wide sleeves and looking graceful.

And being able to escape through the air means he is definitely a master. Judging from his aura, he is not just an ordinary master and his strength is extremely powerful.

The two men stopped above a devastated valley and looked around slowly with extremely solemn eyes.

"Who is this master who came here to fight? He even caused the valley to collapse and the ground to crack."

When the beautiful girl spoke, her voice was very mature, and she was obviously not as young as she looked.

The old man stroked his long beard and said slowly:

"We can sense the movements deep in the Five Elements Mountains from thousands of miles away. Naturally, only a master who has passed through the Double Bridges can have such power."

"Tell me, which family's expert is here?"

The girl frowned deeply.

The old man sighed:
"Sister, we just arrived. Let me take a look."

The girl turned out to be the old man's sister, and it seemed that the old man respected her quite a bit.

His eyes shone brightly as he scanned the entire valley, then suddenly paused:
"There's something there... Looks like the winner has been decided."

His voice was somewhat solemn.

He saw the stumps of limbs.

Just by taking a look at this scene, they knew that both sides were at least masters of the Twin Bridges of Heaven and Earth, which could cause such a large-scale change in the landscape, flattening the valleys like moving mountains.

When masters of this level confront each other, it is generally easy to determine the winner, but difficult to determine life or death.

Especially since the battlefield was so intense, it shows that the gap in strength was not that big, but they still fought to the death. I wonder how deep the hatred between the two sides was?

The girl followed his gaze and saw the remaining body. Her figure flashed, as if she had not moved, but she was already holding the parts in her hands.

She frowned, looked at it, pinched it, and muttered:

"That doesn't tell you anything... but he is indeed a high-level Grandmaster. No, a top-level Grandmaster."

The girl's expression became very solemn.

Judging from the strength and power of the broken body, she had a judgement on the strength of this grandmaster.

Extremely strong, even stronger than herself.

And if such a master died in battle here, and even his body was not intact, how strong must the enemy be?
The girl said slowly:
"Two top masters are fighting here. There are only a few masters like this in the world. Who could they be? And what's their purpose?"

With this level of cultivation, even if she didn't know him, she must have heard of him.

The other old man shook his head slightly. Although he was also at the Heaven and Earth Double Bridge realm, his strength was weaker than the girl's. He could not catch up with the two people fighting. He felt heavy in his heart.

The two were speculating based on clues when they suddenly paused and turned their eyes away.

There was a streak of light approaching very quickly in the southwest sky. After seeing the two people, it slowed down slightly to avoid misunderstanding.

When they got closer, a middle-aged man appeared in the stream of light. He was tall and strong, with a square face and a broad mouth, and was extremely majestic.

The girl's eyes flashed and she smiled:
"It's Elder Bing! It's been a long time since we last met, and Elder Bing is still as elegant as ever."

The person who came was Xie Bing.

Seeing that someone had arrived earlier, he stood at a distance from the two of them and bowed:
"It turned out to be Elder Luo and Elder Lun. The Li family's friends are here, are they here because of this commotion?"

Although he was the core elder of the Xie family and the head of Longwu Academy, his attitude towards the two people opposite him was quite polite.

The two elders of Taiyuan Li Family both nodded.

Xie Bing glanced at the razed valley, a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then looked at Li Luo's hand:
"Elder Luo has discovered something?"

"This person's strength may be no less than you and me."

Li Luo waved his hand and sent the floating body in front of him to Xie Bing.

Xie Bing examined it carefully, and also pinched it, then sensed the direction of the blood and the characteristics of the meridians, and gradually revealed a strange expression.

Li Luo and Li Lun were both interested when they saw this and asked curiously:

"Elder Bing, do you have any guesses?"

Xie Bing nodded and took a deep breath.
"If my guess is correct, this person... is the owner of Qiufeng Tower, Yao Yuyi of the Yao family in Jinling."

"What? It's this person?"

The Li family siblings were horrified and asked:

“How come you see?”

"What this person is practicing must be the Great Golden River Kung Fu."

Xie Bing's words were brief and to the point, but he did not explain why he could confirm it.

The Li siblings suddenly realized that the Xie family had the Xie family arsenal and was very familiar with all the martial arts in the world. Although they did not have the Dajinhe Gong, they were knowledgeable and it was not surprising that they could see it.

And I heard that Xie Yuan knows the Great Golden River Kung Fu, maybe...

Li Luo didn't say much, just said:

"It's Yao Yuyi! Haha, the last pillar of the Yao family is broken. It seems that it is a foregone conclusion to be removed from the eight great families. Well, such a villain, who has done so many evil things, should have been executed long ago! I just don't know which expert is doing justice?"

Xie Bing also nodded in agreement, scanning the battlefield while listening to Li Luo's constant chatter:

"...We noticed the movement from a long distance. We didn't dare to send an average elder. I guess your family is the same. We asked Elder Bing to come in person. Well, this trace looks like a strong man using an axe. But how many masters of this strength are there in the world? Especially those who have reached this level... Could it be the old ghost of the Ji family in the Demon Sect?"

Xie Bing just checked silently, and when he heard Li Luo's continuous analysis, he suddenly had an idea.

These terrifying traces really looked like they were chopped out by a huge axe, and the only axe masters known to these giants in the cultivation world were the Ji family.

But why would the Ji family fight to the death with the owner of Qiufeng Tower? Although the Ji family is strong, Yao Yu is a top assassin, so it should not be difficult for him to escape.

Xie Bing intuitively felt that it was not the Ji family, but the use of an axe... reminded him of another person.

He suddenly descended and took a closer look at the valley.

"… Just this trace, eh, Elder Bing?"

Li Luo was muttering to himself when he saw Xie Bing go down. He was stunned for a moment and followed him with Li Lun.

Xie Bing looked at it for a long time, and his expression became more and more strange.

There seemed to be bullet marks, sword marks, and flames... plus the axe, it was almost time to report Xie Yuan's household registration number.

"impossible."

Xie Bing shook his head subconsciously.

He was still clear about Xie Yuan's strength. Although his cultivation progress was fast, how long had he been away from home? He was definitely not at the level where he could rival the master of Qiufeng Tower, let alone kill him.

But these traces clearly pointed to Xie Yuan...

"Hmm, there seem to be other traces."

Li Lun frowned.

Li Luo nodded:
"Is it a siege? It's not surprising that someone like Yao Yuyi would die. But it doesn't look like there are more experts... Could it be that this demon cult expert is an all-rounder? He is proficient in many kinds of martial arts, and he alone has restrained the owner of Qiufeng Tower, so that he can't escape."

Li Luo was a little solemn:

"Although killing Yao Yuyi is a good thing, the fact that such a master has emerged from the Demon Cult is not good news."

"Indeed, I'm afraid he is stronger than you, sister. Maybe he is at the same level as Patriarch Xie Yi?"

Li Lun whispered.

Li Luo nodded slowly:

"It's possible. Maybe he's a hidden master of the Demon Cult, who came out to make a breakthrough... If the Demon Cult has another Grandmaster, the world will probably be in chaos."

Xie Bing remained silent, his expression becoming more and more excited as he listened to their increasingly outrageous remarks.

He even saw a piece of firewood that had survived, which was chopped cleanly. It was definitely Xie Yuan's work...

But how could Xie Yuan defeat the owner of Qiufeng Tower?

And this huge axe mark, the blow that split the earth, could it be made by Xie Yuan?
Xie Bing looked at the deep ditch at his feet with a serious look.

It’s most likely from the Ji family, right?
Xie Bing was very hesitant. He really couldn't believe that this was the level of strength Xie Yuan could achieve.

"Wait. Lingyun was with him some time ago. Why don't we go back and ask him? Maybe we can find out."

Xie Bing suddenly had an idea, and he could not hold back any longer, so he bowed and said goodbye to the Li siblings:
"Since there are no clues, I will go back first."

"Eh? Elder Bing? Elder Bing!"

Li Luo was puzzled when he saw Xie Bing transform into a stream of light in the sky:
"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't investigated it properly yet."

Li Luo shook his head, and he and Li Lun looked around the valley again, sighing:

"Destroyed the valley and the land, and tore Yao Yuyi apart. What a tyrannical and domineering master of the Demon Sect..."

Chen County is the ancestral home of the Xie clan.

Xie Lingyun was meditating in the room. When she heard the maid's message, she was stunned for a moment and went out to greet them:

"Bingbo, why are you here..."

"Lingyun, where did you and Xie Yuan go before?"

Xie Bing asked directly.

Xie Lingyun was a little puzzled and muttered:

"Are you here to blame too..."

"No, I'm just asking."

Xie Bing shook his head, his voice speeding up a little.

Seeing that the usually calm Xie Bing was actually a little anxious, Xie Lingyun did not dare to say more, but just said:
"Uncle Bing, my brother and I went to the Five Elements Mountain to explore the wonders before. This is nothing, right? Eh?"

She was surprised to see Xie Bing suddenly open his eyes wide and stand still.

What's going on here?
Just as she was wondering, Xie Lingyun was even more confused when she saw Xie Bing turn around and leave.

"It's really Xie Yuan..."

After Xie Bing left Xie Lingyun's place, he wandered around the clan's territory aimlessly for a long time. Many people greeted him but he didn't hear them, which caused a small commotion.

Since when did the head of Longwu Academy become so distracted?
When Xie Bing came to his senses, he found himself standing at the gate of Xie Yuan's former compound, and he could not help but remain silent.

"Go find Elder Fu..."

He turned and walked towards Xie's armory; but after taking a few steps, he stopped.

"never mind."

Xie Bing shook his head, a little worried about telling Elder Fu the news. He didn't know what would happen. He might really have to leave the armory and travel thousands of miles to chase the baby.

But if he didn't tell anyone, he would feel very uncomfortable.

Now he completely understood Elder Fu’s feelings before.

After hesitating for a while, his face darkened and he turned around again, this time heading directly towards Xinglongtang.

Xie Zhi was frowning as he thought about his fight with Xie Wen. Suddenly, he saw Xie Bing coming over and couldn't help but show his vigilance:

"Elder Bing, what are you doing here?"

"Discussion? There's nothing wrong with young disciples exchanging ideas. I'll let my family arrange it with you..."

"Elders sparring? Well, it's only natural for masters to spar with each other to improve their strength and verify each other. I'll let everyone have a fight when I'm done."

"What do you mean you want to sign a life and death agreement with me?"

……

The news of the death of the owner of Qiufeng Tower spread quickly.

The world was shocked.

The sudden death of such a master naturally shocked the entire cultivation world.

However, even though countless people inquired, no one knew who killed the owner of Qiufeng Tower.

There were many different opinions and speculations at the time. Some people speculated that it was related to Xie Yuan. After all, the hatred between Xie Yuan and him was almost known to everyone among martial artists of a certain level.

But people only speculated that it was those people related to Xie Yuan who took action. No one could guess or even dared to think that it was Xie Yuan who personally took action and killed the owner of Qiufeng Tower.

Anyone who knows the owner of Qiufeng Tower knows that the mysterious man who killed him is probably very close to being a grandmaster, and is at the top five on the Flying Dragon List.

However, besides Xie Bing, there are other people who know who killed the owner of Qiufeng Tower.

Jinling, Yao Mansion, deep inside.

Yao Yuzhi was looking at a portrait of a young man in the dark room, silent.

The portrait looked somewhat similar to him, and it was Yao Yuyi.

Yao Yuzhi didn't know how long he had been sitting here. He just kept watching quietly, like a sculpture.

pat.

Two lines of turbid tears ran down the old man's cheeks and fell onto the floor of the quiet room.

"How can it be?"

"Yao family, what should we do?"

A question full of confusion and despair rang out.

The room was quiet for a while, and a hoarse voice echoed in the quiet room:

"Sixth Brother... Tianchuan... I will avenge you..."

Yao Yuzhi stood up slowly, his back looking a little hunched.

The moment he walked outside and pushed open the door of the quiet room, his back immediately straightened up and his dignity was restored.

Looking at the servants, subordinates, and clansmen standing respectfully outside, he said calmly:

"Order, from now on, the Yao family...will move to the capital." (End of this chapter)
