Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

Chapter 240 The Sword Emperor's Supreme Strike!
"Xiao Jibai, are you really so heartless!"

An expression of disbelief crossed Gu Dao's face, and even the hand holding Xiao Mei's neck loosened slightly.

Before this, they had never imagined that Xiao Jibai could make such a cold-blooded choice!

"You came to the Ancient Realm today to save the descendants of the Xiao Clan, but now you're abandoning them?!"

Gu Dao questioned sharply, his tone full of incomprehension and anger, but the moment his words fell, it was as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his mind.

No, this little thing didn't come to save people at all. Instead, it took advantage of the fact that all seven clans had gathered and powerful figures from all over the continent had come together to spread that vicious sword technique!

The so-called rescue was just a pretext!
"Xiao Jibai, you...you can't do this!"

The ancient road was filled with shock and anger.

Su Yun's expression was as indifferent as ice, and his gaze did not linger on Xiao Mei for even a second longer, as if this woman had nothing to do with him at all.

He gripped the Sword Emperor's jade slip tightly in his hand, its flowing golden patterns shining even brighter. His sword intent surged once more, silver-white blades whistling and swirling around him, locked onto Gu Yuan not far away.

"Stay calm, Ji Bai, you must stay calm!"

Gu Yuan stared in disbelief. The ever-increasing imperial might was like a tangible mountain, pressing down on his heart. Every time the golden patterns on the jade slip flashed, it made the hairs on his body stand on end.

This little thing isn't just talking; it really wants to die together with him!

"Ji Bai, you need to think this through. Even if you kill me, what difference will it make?"

Gu Yuan's voice was filled with unprecedented panic. He took the initiative to analyze the pros and cons for Su Yun, trying to awaken her rationality.

“Once I die, you will never be able to leave the Ancient Realm. All the members of the Xiao Clan will also be buried with me. If it really comes to that, the Xiao Clan will be completely wiped out!”
How can you do this to the deceased ancestors of the Xiao clan, and to Xiao Xuan?

Upon hearing this, Su Yun merely glanced at him coldly and said, "Everyone can sacrifice themselves, but I and my people cannot die? There is no such logic in this world!"

"you!"

Gu Yuan was so angry that he almost ground his back teeth to powder. He never expected that Xiao Jibai would be so stubborn and impervious to reason!

This little thing is really wicked!
"No!"

Just then, Xiao Mei, who was being held hostage by Gu Dao, suddenly broke down and cried. Tears mixed with fear streamed down her face. She struggled to look at Su Yun and pleaded, "Please, put down the jade slip!"
We'll listen to them. As long as we can live, anything is fine!

Hope ignited in Gu Dao's eyes. He smiled sinisterly, increased the force in his hand, and lifted Xiao Mei even higher. He shouted at Su Yun, "Did you hear that? Your people don't want to die!"

Xiao Jibai, even if you are the patriarch of the Xiao family, you have no right to make decisions for them!

"Quickly put down the jade slip, and we can promise that as long as you hand over the Sword Emperor's inheritance, we will release you all from the Ancient Realm and forgive all past transgressions!"

Overwhelmed by fear, Xiao Mei's beautiful face had already lost all color: "Ancestor, I really don't want to die, please put down the jade slip!"

Su Yun slowly shook his head, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, as if he were sighing for Xiao Mei's cowardice.

Not far away, Xiao Yan's face showed even more regret. He glanced at Xiao Mei, who was still begging for mercy, with complicated emotions.

His cousin hasn't improved at all; she still can't grasp the situation.

"Enough, Xiao Mei!"

A mournful cry suddenly rang out, and Xiao Yu, who was immersed in the pain of her younger brother Xiao Ning's death, abruptly raised her head!
Her bloodshot eyes glared at Gu Dao and Gu Yuan, two lines of tears sliding down her cheeks, her voice strong and clear: "Don't you understand yet!"

These people have been lying to us from beginning to end! The so-called reconciliation they're talking about now is just a delaying tactic!
"Once the Ancestor puts down the jade slip, we will all die without a burial place!"

Xiao Yu's gaze swept over the Xiao clan members present, and he took a deep breath: "Rather than let the ancient clan succeed and let the Xiao clan's bloodline be cut off, it is better to perish together with them!"
"Better to be a shattered jade than a whole tile!"

Xiao Yu's words were like a thunderclap, instantly sobering the Xiao clan members present. Their initially panicked expressions gradually hardened into resolute ones. Xiao Zhan even issued a solemn appeal: "Better to be a broken jade than a whole tile!"

"Shut up!"

Gu Dao was thoroughly enraged by Xiao Yu's words and roared.

He slammed Xiao Mei hard onto the ground. The dull thud, accompanied by Xiao Mei's cry of pain, made the hearts of the Xiao clan members present tighten.

Before anyone could react, Gu Dao's withered hand reached out again, grabbing Xiao Yu from a distance like an eagle's claw!
His rough fingers gripped Xiao Yu's neck tightly, his eyes filled with ruthlessness: "Xiao Jibai, put down the jade slip immediately! Otherwise, I'll snap her neck right now!"

Gu Dao's gaze was fixed on Su Yun like a venomous snake.

Now it's a contest of who's more ruthless! He refused to believe that Xiao Jibai could really remain unmoved!

Xiao Yu's face turned purple from being choked, and her breathing became increasingly difficult, but she still gritted her teeth and shouted intermittently to Su Yun, "Ancestor... don't worry about me... hurry, do it!"

"I told you to shut up!"

Enraged, Gu Dao slammed his other hand down on Xiao Yu's chest!
"Crack!"

Xiao Yu's bones and muscles were instantly shattered, blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and her body slumped limply in Gu Dao's hands, but her reddened eyes were still desperately open!

"Good child... your life is more important than that of a nine-star Dou Sheng!"

A hint of relief flashed in Su Yun's eyes, but that relief was quickly replaced by an icy chill!
“Rumble——!!!”

His sword intent surged to its peak, and silver-white light blades swirled around him like a rainstorm. His battle qi poured into the jade slip without reservation, and his terrifying imperial might was like a volcano about to erupt!
This thing is insane! It must be crazy!

Gu Yuan clenched his fists: "Ji Bai, even if you don't consider the Xiao Clan, you should at least consider the human race!"

If you die here, who will restrain the Dragon and Phoenix Princes?

“There will always be successors!”

Su Yun said in a deep voice: "The way of Heaven is constant and does not change because of people; the fate of the human race is not different because of me."

Even if I die, thousands of years from now, there will be another hero who will lead the human race to overthrow the tyranny of the Dragon-Phoenix Son!

Now, let's go to the underworld together!

“Clang, clang, clang—!”

A piercing sword cry erupted from the jade slip, like ten thousand swords ringing out simultaneously, causing a painful strain on the eardrums of everyone present. The golden patterns on the surface of the jade slip had already condensed into a tangible band of light!
The Sword Emperor's ultimate attack is really... really about to happen!

"Kill him! Quickly, kill him!"

On the high platform, a burning light flashed in Hun Xuzi's eyes as he anticipated what was about to happen. With Gu Yuan dead, the clan leader would be invincible!
Even without obtaining the Sword Emperor's inheritance, the Soul Clan will still be the biggest winner!

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Su Yun, their hearts filled with extreme anxiety.

Today's events represent an unprecedented upheaval in the Dou Qi Continent, and regardless of the outcome, they will be recorded in history!

Does Xiao Jibai truly possess the courage to unleash the Sword Emperor's supreme strike?

"and many more!"

At this final moment, before Su Yun could make a choice, Gu Yuan raised his hand first, his expression gloomy, and said, "Ji Bai, you win!"
