This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Yan Zangfeng ignored the branch elder's provocation, looked up at the starry sky, and murmured:

"Not enough..."

The branch elder also heard his words, looked up at the sky, and frowned in confusion:

"What mischief is this kid up to?"

Yan Cangfeng moved in and out of the houses in the manor. Although the elders of the branch sect had great power, the houses provided cover and made it difficult for them to hurt him for a while.

And so time passed slowly, Ren Jianhao's heart was bleeding.

The villa was about to be razed to the ground by the two men.

The branch elder finally couldn't bear it any longer and stopped.

"For me to resort to this technique, you should be quite proud of yourself..."

The old man planted the sword in the ground, clenched one fist, held the other palm upright, and stomped his foot hard.

Then he looked up, opened his mouth, and took a deep breath towards the sky.

Between heaven and earth, a faint stream of air gathered from all directions and entered the old man's mouth and nose.

His chest swelled up rapidly, and his vital energy exploded forth.

The once somewhat frail old man had transformed in the blink of an eye into a seven-foot-tall, muscular giant...

Clearly, this involved some kind of secret technique.

The branch elder gripped his longsword again, his gaze turning icy cold.

"Kid, your time has come..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the branch elder pushed off with his feet and shot out instantly. Even if there were houses blocking his way, he could smash through them directly and there was nothing that could stop him.

The speed is much faster than before.

Yan Zangfeng looked back and was greatly shocked.

At this moment, the branch elder was like a terrifying beast, his strength having increased dramatically.

Yan Zangfeng looked up at the sky and saw that the last rays of the setting sun had completely disappeared, and the sky was now filled with stars. Under the starlight, everything shone brightly.

"The time has come..."

Yan Cangfeng leaped onto a rooftop, his Yaoguang Sword pointing towards the sky.

His gaze was fixed on the rapidly approaching branch sect elder, his killing intent palpable.

The Yao Guang sword vibrated, and specks of starlight emanated from its blade, echoing the stars in the sky.

Suddenly, a beam of starlight transformed into a pillar of light that descended from the sky, enveloping Yan Cangfeng and the Yaoguang Sword in his hand.

A chilling and powerful sword intent swept down, causing Ren Jianhao and Ren Qianxing, who were watching the battle from a distance, to feel a chill run down their spines.

Seeing this, the branch elders couldn't help but become solemn.

But now that his strength has increased dramatically, he doesn't think Yan Zangfeng can pose a threat to him.

"Playing tricks will only lead to your death..."

The branch elder leaped into the air, his body erupting with crimson energy. The longsword in his hand was enveloped by the sword energy, transforming into a giant sword two or three zhang long.

Although the man and the sword had not yet arrived, the terrifying sword intent had already descended upon him. Countless sword blades appeared on Yan Cangfeng's body once again, and blood flowed down his legs.

But this time, he didn't dodge.

Under the starlight, the Yaoguang Sword shone as brightly as the stars.

Yan Zangfeng remained calm, but his eyes, as still as a lake, held unparalleled power.

"Shaking Light... Starfall..."

With a light tap of his toes, Yan Cangfeng and the Yaoguang Sword in his hand seemed to transform into a shooting star, rapidly falling from the rooftop.

The two men and their swords clashed together in a completely unadorned manner.

"boom..."

A blinding light burst forth, illuminating the entire city of Shijian.

The terrifying sword energy transformed into a whirlwind that swept in all directions.

Everything in its path was shattered.

The vast estate was almost entirely destroyed.

Ren Jianhao and his son Ren Qianxing could only hide behind the artificial hill and rocks, circulating their inner energy to protect themselves.

Most of the ordinary disciples and servants of Hidden Sword Manor were killed or injured.

Li Daoxuan hovered in mid-air, watching this scene with a helpless sigh.

"well..."

He did not intervene to protect the people in the manor, because in his eyes, the Hidden Sword Manor was already entangled in karma and was destined to suffer this calamity.

The servants in the manor may not have directly committed evil deeds, but their daily lives and every action inadvertently helped the Hidden Sword Manor create many evil causes.

Li Daoxuan looked at the battlefield that had been reduced to ruins. The branch sect elder had returned to normal, lying in a crater not far away, coughing up blood, with a broken sword beside him.

On the other side, Yan Zangfeng was in no better condition. His Yao Guang sword was of excellent quality and was undamaged, but he himself was covered in blood and his internal meridians were severely damaged.

If they don't receive timely treatment, even if they survive, their cultivation level will likely plummet, potentially affecting their future potential.

"It's good to suffer a little..."

Li Daoxuan looked at Yan Zangfeng and said calmly.

This kid is really reckless. Knowing he's no match, he still risks serious injury to make a move.

If Li Daoxuan weren't here today, in his current state, he would probably lose his life, let alone seek revenge.

Sure enough, Ren Jianhao and his son emerged from behind the artificial rock not far away after dodging the storm of sword energy.

Upon seeing Yan Zangfeng lying on the ground, barely alive, his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Not only them, but even the branch elder of the Qingyun Sword Sect struggled to his feet.

His clothes were torn, revealing a black breastplate underneath.

At this point, the armor was covered in cracks.

Fortunately, his life was saved.

"How could they have forced me into such a sorry state..."

The branch elder looked at the broken sword in his hand and the tattered armor on his body, his face contorted with rage.

His gaze swept over the Yao Guang sword in Yan Zangfeng's hand, his eyes filled with greed.

"That move just now, it must have been thanks to your sword, right? Such a precious sword, in the hands of an ordinary boy, you really are... a child waving gold around in the marketplace..."

Ren Jianhao and his son came to the side of the branch elder and helped him up, one on each side.

"Elder, are you alright?"

"He's not dead yet..."

The three walked up to Yan Zangfeng and looked down at him.

Yan Zangfeng was still conscious and was struggling to kneel on the ground.

His gaze was fixed on Ren Jianhao and his son, and the murderous intent in his eyes had not diminished in the slightest.

"Qianxing, go, kill him, and bring me his sword..."

The branch elder said coldly.

Ren Qianxing remained somewhat wary, gripping his sword as he slowly stepped forward.

Yan Zangfeng stared intently at him, his Taiyi Pure Yuan Technique struggling to circulate within his body.

Even when faced with a desperate situation, he would never give up easily.

When Ren Qianxing stood only a zhang away from Yan Cangfeng, he finally realized that the boy in front of him had no chance to fight back.

Without a word, he raised his sword, circulating his inner energy without holding back, pouring all his power into the blade.

Yan Zangfeng gritted his teeth and used his last bit of strength to raise his sword to meet the attack.

Suddenly, a voice seemed to resound in his heart.

"Draw your sword, unleash the strongest sword you can imagine..."
