Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

As the array shone brightly and became completely solidified, several illusory figures appeared within it.

Jiang Kun narrowed his eyes and looked over, discovering that the newcomers were several extremely young people.

The leading man was dressed in white, his black hair flowing, and his brows held an air of righteousness as steadfast as distant mountains.

Despite her young age, she has the air of someone from a prestigious family.

What Jiang Kun feared even more was that these people were wearing the inner disciple robes of the Dongbao Upper Sect.

Jiang Kun's pupils contracted slightly, and the enormous magical phantom that had condensed in his palm retreated deeply.

The Northern Sword Alliance cannot afford to offend the behemoth that is Dongbao Shangzong.

At this moment, the handsome man in white took a step forward.

He said calmly, "Senior, before you make an irreparable mistake, why don't you stop here?"

After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Kun couldn't help but laugh, pointing at the man and saying, "You little brat, I'm only letting you off the hook because of your status as a disciple of a higher sect, and yet you dare to lecture me!"

Shi Shangxu stared at him quietly, his eyes showing no fear.

He took a deep breath, slowly drew a long sword that gleamed with a blue light, and said helplessly, "In that case, senior, you shall step over my body today."

Upon hearing this, Lu Feishuang, Duan Tianya, Chen Yilin, Mo Fei, and Lu Mingyu, who were standing beside him, instantly unleashed their auras and assumed a fighting stance.

Mo Fei stepped forward and said coldly, "If you insist on continuing the fight, then you are going against the Mo family."

Lu Feishuang also raised an eyebrow, "Count my Lu family in. Senior Jiang should know that the Biluo Sect stands behind my Lu family."

For a moment, the young people seemed to be showing signs of joining forces to fight the enemy.

Jiang Kun's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Before this operation, they had already informed the other sects and families, making it clear that this action was only aimed at the Feng family, and they had even found a pretext for their graduation.

But now, these arrogant young people are standing right in front of us, treating the words of the Northern Sword Alliance like nothing at all.

Jiang Kun suppressed his anger, "I naturally know about your families, but do your elders know about your behavior, you younger generation?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feishuang sneered, "There's no need for you to worry about that, senior."

Jiang Kun was humiliated and furious. He could not tolerate the repeated provocations of a few Foundation Establishment stage juniors, even though he was a Golden Core cultivator.

However, just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate and the atmosphere was tense, a chubby figure suddenly took a step to the side, carrying an extremely thin longsword, and stood boldly in front of everyone.

Duan Tianya said impatiently, "You old man, if you want to fight, then fight! What are you hesitating for? Why are you worrying about this and that? I think this is better. None of my friends will help you. You fight me. If you lose, you and your men can get out of here."

Jiang Kun's gaze suddenly fell on Duan Tianya, and his angry expression froze.

A look of horror flashed in his eyes.

Because the short, chubby young man in front of him had a long and continuous spiritual energy fluctuation emanating from his body, and his strength and cultivation were actually comparable to his own.

As expected of a prestigious sect, Dongbao Shangzong is indeed a renowned sect; this person is clearly wearing ordinary disciple robes.

It's not an elder or deacon; how could an ordinary disciple possess the Golden Core cultivation level?

Jiang Kun's face was extremely ugly. But if he retreated now, wouldn't all the great efforts of the Northern Sword Alliance have gone to waste?

Now that he has a legitimate reason to act, and besides, he hasn't even gotten his hands on the Feng family's wondrous spatial teleportation technique yet, how could Jiang Kun be willing to give up?

After a moment of reflection, Jiang Kun forced himself to speak, "My fellow disciples, this is a private feud between my Northern Sword Alliance and the Feng family. It seems to have nothing to do with the Eastern Treasure Sect, right?"

To be frank, several elders of your sect have a good relationship with my Sword Alliance. Why should you ruin your own harmony for the sake of outsiders?

Jiang Kun tried to persuade Shi Shangxu and the others to leave by invoking their sect's connections.

The situation became a delicate standoff for a time.

Meanwhile, Feng Xichen, the patriarch of the Feng family, and Feng Tianyuan, the head of the family, who had fallen into the ruins, were helping each other to their feet with difficulty.

They were prepared to die for their clan in today's battle, but they never expected this.

In this moment of despair, reinforcements descended from the sky.

It should be noted that when the Northern Sword Alliance first expressed its intention to attack the Feng family, the Feng family sought help from the surrounding aristocratic families they knew and were on good terms with, but without exception, they were all turned away.

These young men, from the Mo, Lu, and Shi families, and even elites from the Upper Sect, who were not familiar with the Feng family, stepped forward.

While Feng Xichen was moved, a sense of confusion also arose in his heart.

The Feng family has absolutely no connection with the Dongbao Shangzong or these top families, so why are these children risking their lives to get involved in this mess?

Just then, Jiang Kun said, "You are all the younger generation of the Dongbao Upper Sect. I will not bother with you. The struggle between cultivation families is none of your business. Get out of here immediately."

Shi Shangxu gripped his longsword, his face cold and silent.

Meanwhile, her senior sister Chen Yilin's eyes were filled with nothing but eager anticipation for the strong.

She swung a heavy, pitch-black longsword, devoid of any aesthetic appeal, and swung it down towards Jiang Kun's head.

Duan Tianya clapped and cheered, "Senior Sister, that was a brilliant move! Hey, this old guy is using connections to pressure us, let's chop him up!"

Before he finished speaking, his short, stocky frame shot out like a cannonball, wielding a slender sword that seemed disproportionate to his size. Together with Chen Yilin, they sealed off all of Jiang Kun's escape routes.

The two worked together seamlessly, causing Jiang Kun to suffer repeated defeats.

"You're insane! You two lunatics actually dared to attack me!"

Jiang Kun had never expected these two juniors to have such fiery tempers, and in his haste, he could only reluctantly summon a high-level escape talisman to block them.

A burst of golden light erupted, and Jiang Kun, behind the escape talisman, shouted menacingly, "You've ambushed and killed a close friend of the sect's elders. Aren't you afraid of being imprisoned and having your cultivation crippled when you return to the sect?"

Chen Yilin stopped what she was doing, tilted her head, and a moment of blankness and confusion appeared on her handsome and beautiful face.

She turned her head and asked Duan Tianya, "Third Junior Brother, are the consequences of killing him really that severe? Will it even cripple my cultivation?"

Duan Tianya chuckled, "Senior Sister, what's there to be afraid of? As long as we kill everyone here, no one will know it was us. It's that simple!"

Chen Yilin suddenly realized and praised, "Third Junior Brother is right, then let's kill them all and not let a single one escape."

The situation was about to turn into another massacre.

A hint of melancholy suddenly appeared in Shi Shangxu's eyes.

A few hours earlier, when Lu Feishuang urgently found him and handed him the Shadow Stone, Shi Shangxu was struck by lightning like never before.

At that moment, the noble and virtuous way he had cultivated in the past crumbled inch by inch in his mind.

Every evil deed Jiang Yuxing committed against Luo Ning made him temporarily abandon his original desire to treat people gently and maintain a pure heart.

Not everyone deserves to be treated as a human being.

He urgently used the sect's teleportation array to rush over and quell the commotion, but to his surprise, his senior brother and sister also insisted on coming.

He cherished the friendship among his fellow students.

But seeing this scene, I couldn't help but sigh.

He is no longer worried about the Feng family; instead, he is concerned about the elders of the Northern Sword Alliance.

"Senior brothers and sisters, killing them all would be against the natural order, and it would also damage the reputation of our sect if word got out."

Chen Yilin turned around in confusion, "Then what should we do? If we don't kill him, what if he tells on us?"

Shi Shangxu said gently, "Heaven cherishes life. I think it would be better to shatter his Qi Sea and Dantian, so that he can never use spiritual power again in this life. Without cultivation, he can no longer aid the wicked."

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Kun, who was still struggling to hold on, couldn't help but shiver.

Destroying his cultivation is even more cruel than killing him.

He angrily berated the group, speechless for a moment.

Meanwhile, Lu Feishuang, Mo Fei, and Lu Mingyu, who were familiar with Shi Shangxu, felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at the usually gentle Shi brothers.

Where is the virtue of cherishing life? This is worse than death.

This honest man was completely enraged.
