He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

At that moment, a fiery red streak of light rushed towards him, then dissipated.

The stunning figure of Xuan Yuanwu, wielding the Phoenix Sword and with murderous intent in her phoenix eyes, was revealed.

"Hey! You old geezer!"

Xuan Yuanwu's eyebrows furrowed, and she pointed the tip of her sword at Xuan Yuanxingtian without any hesitation.

Despite the opponent's terrifying aura, she was like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, proud and unyielding, refusing to yield an inch.

"Quickly toned down your arrogance! Do you want to crush the entire city?"

"Xiao Wu? You... what happened to you...?"

Xuanyuan Xingtian's ferocious expression suddenly froze, his eyes widening.

She stared in disbelief at her living granddaughter, even subconsciously rubbing her eyes.

The spiritual imprint etched into the body of a blood relative will only completely dissipate upon death; he clearly sensed it just now!

This is absolutely impossible to fake!

But now... Xiao Wu is not only standing here perfectly fine, but even...

His gaze suddenly fixed on Xuan Yuanwu's perfectly intact right hand, and his pupils contracted sharply!

Xiao Wu's missing arm is known to everyone in the family!

How could it suddenly get better?

The next moment, boundless rage once again overwhelmed his reason!

Impersonating his granddaughter and stealing her spatial equipment and Phoenix Sword... Unforgivable!

"You bastard!"

Xuanyuan Xingtian's beard and hair stood on end, and his voice was as cold as ice that had stood for millennia.

The Heaven-Shattering Axe instantly appeared in his hand, its blade gleaming with a cold light that seemed to tear through space.

"How dare you impersonate my Xiao Wu! Prepare to die!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he swung his axe towards Xuan Yuanwu, unleashing a strike imbued with the power to split mountains and cleave seas!

Space was torn apart by the axe's edge, and a terrifying black rift spread toward Xuan Yuanwu!

"You old geezer! Are you serious?!"

Xuan Yuanwu's expression changed drastically; she hadn't expected her grandfather to react so violently in his anger.

They didn't even bother to confirm before launching a fatal attack!

Faced with a strike that could instantly kill a level 100 professional, she dared not be careless in the slightest.

“Swish, swish, swish—!”

The spatial bracelet flashed with light, and the life-saving array plates bestowed by the elders were instantly activated, transforming into layers of light shields to protect the person in front of them.

Precious defensive talismans were slapped all over his body as if they were free, forming shields of various colors;

Even a set of antique-level personal spirit armor was instantly covered inside the combat suit...

These are all the trump cards her family gave her for self-defense!

However, the power of Xuanyuan Xingtian's furious attack was terrifying!

"Crack! Crack! Boom—!"

The array's protective shield and talismanic protective barrier shattered one after another like paper, and the spirit armor groaned under the strain.

Finally, Xuan Yuanwu let out a muffled groan, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth.

This barely managed to offset most of the force of that axe blow.

But the residual impact still made her blood boil, and she staggered back several steps.

"Bastard! How dare you steal Xiao Wu's spatial bracelet and use her life-saving treasure! Prepare to die!"

Seeing Xuanyuan Wu "skillfully" using those treasures that he recognized so well,

Xuanyuan Xingtian became even more convinced that this was a corpse thief, and his anger intensified, instantly escalating his attack.

The destructive power contained in the second axe far exceeded that of the first!

"Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens!"

Faced with this deadly attack, Xuan Yuanwu knew that nothing could withstand it.

She gritted her teeth, a resolute glint in her eyes, and directly activated her life essence, causing crimson flames to ignite around her!

A magnificent and majestic phoenix phantom formed behind her.

It emits a clear and melodious cry.

With the will to burn the entire world,

He charged headlong into the axe's edge!

"Phoenix Heaven Technique!!!"

The moment that unique phoenix phantom appeared,

The momentum of Xuanyuan Xingtian's axe strike abruptly halted.

His face turned grave, and he gasped in shock:

"Who exactly are you??"

In the history of the Dragon Kingdom, no more than five people were qualified to cultivate and master the Phoenix Heaven Technique!

Theoretically, only his granddaughter, Xuanyuan Wu, should be alive today.

And the ancestor who lies asleep in an ice coffin in the family's ancestral land!

The person in front of me... could it be...?

A guess that made his heart race.

It flashed through Xuan Yuan Xing Tian's mind like lightning.

Could it be... that Xiao Wu didn't die?

And what's more, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, with all the old wounds healed?

But how do we explain those vanished spiritual imprints?

In a flash, he had no time to think and forcibly withdrew most of his strength!

"boom--!!!!!"

Even so, the collision still produced a deafening roar.

A terrifying energy storm exploded in the air, creating a blazing fireball hundreds of meters in diameter.

The dazzling light made it almost impossible for the people of Tianfeng City below to open their eyes.

A wave of scorching heat swept down.

This was the result of Xuanyuan Xingtian holding back his power at the last moment.

Otherwise, the surrounding area would likely be reduced to scorched earth.

The fireball slowly dissipated.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

Xuanyuan Wu knelt on one knee in mid-air, supporting her body with the Phoenix Sword, panting heavily.

His face was pale from the burning of his life essence.

The hair on his forehead was damp with sweat.

But her eyes were filled with grievance when she looked at Xuanyuan Xingtian.

"You stinky grandpa...you really want to kill me...?"

She caught her breath and quickly sheathed the Phoenix Sword.

He rushed forward suddenly, just like when he was a child.

She clamped her legs tightly around Xuan Yuan Xing Tian's thick waist.

She gripped his long, snow-white beard tightly with both hands.

While pulling, he cursed in a tearful voice:

"Hmph! When you're old and can't move anymore, I'll pluck out every single one of your white beards... not a single one left!"

Feeling the familiar pressure on his waist, and hearing the arrogant curses in his ear,

Xuanyuan Xingtian's tall body froze completely.

He looked down at Xuan Yuanwu, whose face was flushed with anger, in his arms.

That vivid expression, that familiar mischievousness...

"Xiao Wu...is it really you?"

Xuanyuan Xingtian's voice was somewhat hoarse, trembling with disbelief.

"What happened to your hands... and what happened just now..."

He became incoherent for a moment.

A huge surprise,

This left even the once-powerful figure somewhat bewildered.

"snort!"

Xuanyuan Wu just snorted angrily and continued to tug at her beard.

"Come on, I want to ride a horse!"

After a long while, Xuanyuan Wu skillfully kicked her leg.

Just like when I was a child, I nimbly climbed onto my grandfather's broad, mountain-like back.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and said coquettishly.

"Alright, alright, Grandpa will take you horseback riding! Back when you were shorter than Jian, you loved riding on Grandpa's shoulders to look at the stars..."

Xuanyuan Xingtian carefully straightened up, afraid that any sudden movement would jol her.

His voice was gentle, showing no trace of the destructive god of war he had just been.

"Go that way! To the orphanage!"

Xuanyuan Wu rubbed her chin against her grandfather's ear and pointed towards the outskirts of the city.

Like a proud little queen commanding her mount.

"Yes, my little princess!"

Xuanyuan Xingtian laughed loudly, and the terrifying pressure that had caused the heavens and earth to change color completely disappeared, making him seem like just an ordinary old man who doted on his granddaughter.

He subtly moved his feet and stepped into the air in the direction Xuan Yuanwu pointed. Each step he took was silent, for fear of disturbing the treasure on his back.

"call--"

Inside the City Lord's Mansion of Tianfeng City, the City Lord slumped into a grand chair.

His official robes were already soaked with cold sweat, and he picked up a handkerchief with trembling hands.

He vigorously wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, which were falling like rain.

His face still showed signs of shock and pallor.

"Finally, we're leaving... that living ancestor..."

He looked out the window with lingering fear, muttering to himself.

"Who on earth has the audacity to provoke the God of War, Xuanyuan?"

The thought of the apocalyptic pressure he had just experienced, and the axe blow that nearly cleaved Tianfeng City in two, made his legs go weak.

If this person is truly angered, not only will he lose his position as city lord, but the entire Tianfeng City will likely be reduced to ruins by that single axe blow.

After all, this guy's temper and strength are enough to make the heavens and earth tremble.
