Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

"You Guiyi Sect people are certainly domineering in your actions," Xia Jin said in a cold voice.

He glanced at the three members of the Guiyi Sect, ignoring their gazes, and walked towards Jiang Ling, whose mouth was bleeding.

Jiang Ling looked up at Xia Jin, who had suddenly appeared in the sect's main hall, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

Why does this guy suddenly give her a feeling of being unfathomable, even though it's only been a few days?

Xia Jin walked up to her and naturally placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Xia Jin, go back right now! This isn't a place for you to interfere!" Jiang Ling grabbed Xia Jin's wrist, trying to get him to leave immediately.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, her expression turned somewhat strange.

A warm and vibrant energy surged into Xia Jin's body from her palm.

The damaged meridians in her body caused by the backlash were visibly healing under the influence of this power. Even the essence and blood she had just consumed were regenerating in just a few breaths.

A few breaths later, Jiang Ling's pale face regained its rosy color, and her breathing became as stable as before she was injured. If it weren't for the tears in her palace dress, no one would have known that she had been seriously injured.

"How...is this possible?"

Jiang Ling looked at Xia Jin in disbelief.

Because she knew very well that she was a cultivator at the second level of the Great Power Realm, and even if she treated herself, such injuries would not heal within a month. Yet, the other party had restored her to full health in just a few breaths?

Could it be... that this guy's strength has already surpassed mine?

A thought suddenly flashed through Jiang Ling's mind—could the fusion of Yin and Yang really enhance one's strength in this way?

But she quickly dismissed the idea.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

In the Hehuan Sword Sect, there are quite a few disciples who have formed Daoist couples, so why don't we see that the strength of others can improve so rapidly?

"Boy, who are you to dare interfere in the affairs of my Guiyi Sect!"

Not far away, the Second Elder of the Guiyi Sect looked at Xia Jin, who had suddenly appeared in the sect's main hall, and sneered in dissatisfaction.

However, as soon as he said those words, he felt a surge of regret.

Because just as he was speaking, he witnessed with his own eyes how the other party, using some unknown method, managed to heal Jiang Ling's injuries in the blink of an eye, despite her suffering from the backlash.

Such methods were unheard of even to him.

This person is definitely not simple.

Moreover, those who dare to appear here at this time are not necessarily weaker than themselves.

After considering the matter for a moment, the Second Elder of the Guiyi Sect took a deep breath, softened the fierce look in his eyes, and said in a gentler tone: "Young brother, I still advise you not to get involved in this mess and stand up for the Hehuan Sword Sect."

"I can overlook your disturbance today. Please leave the Hehuan Sword Sect immediately to avoid bringing trouble upon yourself."

These words were already a way out for him, the second elder of the Guiyi Sect.

Unfortunately, the two people behind him did not notice the change in his tone.

One of the Guiyi Sect elders, who was somewhat plump, heard the Second Elder's words and continued, "Did you hear what our Second Elder said? Kid, get lost! How dare you interfere in the affairs of the Guiyi Sect? If you know what's good for you, then..."

He didn't finish his sentence before he breathed his last.

Because a round hole appeared without warning between his eyebrows.

Blood slowly flowed from the round hole. The elder of the Guiyi Sect still had that cold smile in his eyes, but his pupils had begun to dilate.

Three seconds later, his body collapsed to the ground.

A being at the half-step Great Power realm fell silently.

Shock.

A deathly silence enveloped the entire hall.

No one saw what happened, but a cultivator at the half-step Great Power realm was killed just like that.

All eyes involuntarily fell on Xia Jin.

"Huh!? What's wrong with everyone? Why are you all staring at me?" Xia Jin stood with her hands behind her back, a slight smile on her lips.

Only Jiang Ling, who had been standing next to Xia Jin the whole time, managed to catch a glimpse of the fleeting pink sword energy on his index finger.

At that moment, her pupils swayed violently.

The Sword Intent of the Mortal World!

This guy... actually comprehended the legendary Mortal World Sword Intent?

How is that possible?

Just a few days ago, he hadn't even come into contact with the Hehuan Sword Intent. How could he have comprehended a higher level of Mortal World Sword Intent from the Hehuan Sword Intent in such a short time?

This is simply unbelievable!

Jiang Ling's mind was in turmoil.

The Sword Intent of the Mortal World—that's a legendary sword intent. Throughout the entire Mirage Realm, the number of people who have been able to comprehend this sword intent can be counted on one hand.

Jiang Ling stared at Xia Jin's profile, her shock lingering for a long time.

Xia Jin glanced at the corpse on the ground, then looked up, her gaze landing on the ashen-faced Second Elder of the Guiyi Sect. She smiled and said, "This fatso was too noisy. So, I told him to shut up. You two... shouldn't have any objections, right?"

"That bastard!!" Xia Jin's nonchalant attitude made the Second Elder of the Guiyi Sect's face turn extremely gloomy.

His chest heaved violently, clearly his anger was on the verge of exploding.

This person is incredibly audacious to kill an elder of the Guiyi Sect right in front of him and to speak so disrespectfully!

"You brat! You're asking for death!"

The Second Elder gritted his teeth and uttered those words through gritted teeth. But even so, he still endured and did not make a move immediately.

After all, he hadn't seen the opponent's move clearly, which made him wary. He wasn't confident he could defeat Xia Jin.

Taking a deep breath, the Second Elder forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. "No matter what, you killed an elder of my Guiyi Sect today. You should give us an explanation."

His voice gradually turned cold, tinged with threat: "I'm giving you a way out now: surrender immediately and come with us to the Guiyi Sect, and you might still live. Otherwise, if our sect leader holds you accountable, not only you, but the entire Hehuan Sword Sect will be wiped out!"

"That old devil, he's actually using my Hehuan Sword Sect to threaten me again!!" Jiang Ling's face turned extremely ugly.

The sect leader of the Guiyi Sect had already reached the ninth level of the Great Power Realm many years ago and was currently in seclusion attempting to break through to the Saintly Realm. Such an existence was simply beyond their ability to resist.

"Xia Jin, you need to go back right now and take Su Xin with you!"

Jiang Ling looked at Xia Jin seriously, her voice somewhat urgent: "The sect leader of the Guiyi Sect is not someone you can deal with! Before he finds out, leave the Hehuan Sword Sect as quickly as possible!"

"Sect Leader Jiang, they're just a few petty thieves. Look how scared you are! It's just the Guiyi Sect, not some holy land. No need to take it too seriously!" Xia Jin shook her head with a smile, her lips slightly upturned.

He glanced at the two remaining members of the Guiyi Sect opposite him, then gently raised his hand.

At this moment, the elder who had been silent beside the Second Elder of the Guiyi Sect suddenly had a round hole between his eyebrows.

Fresh blood flowed out.

His body collapsed.

Silently.

Another elder died on the spot.

This one is a genuine first-level Great Power.
