At the age of one hundred, I inquired about the Dao, awakening the supreme spiritual root that shatt

Ling Xiu had cultivated the Vajra Body Technique, making his physical body as hard as a rock. With the added defensive enhancement of the Vajra Spirit Talisman, this palm strike could not harm him in the slightest.

"Great Evolution Sword Net Illusion Killing Technique!"

The male cultivator who had just been knocked back by the counterattack had not yet regained his footing when a vast, all-encompassing net of illusory killing swords suddenly enveloped him.

When the sword net dissipated, the man's body was as if it had been torn apart by thousands of spider silks, instantly shattering into countless pieces of flesh and blood, and he died a miserable death on the spot!

"What?"

Ye Jingyun's eyes snapped open, utterly shocked and speechless.

"Li Qiang...!"

The sword cultivator disciple standing nearby witnessed his junior brother's tragic death, and a surge of boundless rage welled up within him, causing him to roar out in a ferocious ferocity:

"How dare you kill Junior Brother Li Qiang!"

Ling Xiu's real target was him. He deliberately stood still just now to create an illusion, making the other party think that his true energy was depleted and he was powerless to fight, so that he would completely relax all his defenses.

Seeing that the other party was blinded by rage and roaring as he charged towards him, Ling Xiu used the same tactic as before and stood still once again.

The swordsman's killing intent was intense, and his longsword was moving at extreme speed, about to pierce Ling Xiu's heart!

In the blink of an eye, Ling Xiu suddenly moved!

He accurately seized the fatal flaw in the opponent's attack, which left them completely unprepared. His figure transformed into a fleeting afterimage, instantly closing in on the opponent's left rib opening and unleashing a powerful palm strike!

"Fiery Palm!"

A blazing fireball suddenly condensed and exploded, slamming into his vital left rib.

The sword-wielding male cultivator was in excruciating pain and let out a piercing scream.

This Fiery Palm technique is of extremely high grade, already a top-grade technique, and its power is in no way inferior to a Xuan-grade technique!

Such terrifying explosive power is not something a cultivator in the early stage of the Condensation Realm could unleash.

"Tiannan, watch out!"

Ye Jingyun suddenly woke up and sternly reminded him.

But Ling Xiu was too fast, and the swordsman named Xie Tiannan was directly blasted away by the palm force, spitting out blood.

His face turned ashen, his heart pounding with fear. He forced himself to steady himself in mid-air and hurriedly channeled his spiritual power to erect a defensive barrier.

At the same time, his eyes turned cold, and with a thought, he recalled the flying sword that had been thrown from his hand.

brush!brush!brush!

Xie Tiannan flicked his wrist and swiftly activated his sword technique, parrying Ling Xiu's successive Fiery Palm attacks.

The Fiery Palm technique has now been transformed into a top-grade technique by the Qiankun Xuanhu, capable of unleashing countless incinerating attacks!

The flames sometimes transformed into blades, sometimes into swords, and sometimes into a blazing lion, relentlessly bombarding and tearing at Xie Tiannan's defensive barrier.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of loud explosions rang out, and the solid spiritual energy barrier twisted and trembled violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.

After a series of fierce battles, Ling Xiu became more and more proficient in the combat rhythm of the Condensing True Realm and more and more adept at controlling his true essence.

His right hand surged with true energy, and the Fiery Palm transformed once again into a ferocious fire dragon, roaring and howling as it relentlessly attacked Xie Tiannan.

The devastating offensive brought the opponent an extreme crisis of death.

His true essence was vast and powerful, far surpassing that of ordinary True Essence cultivators. This was the foundation created by the "Void Essence Longevity Technique"!

"Die!"

Ling Xiu roared angrily, his figure turning into afterimages as he approached. Suddenly, a sharp fingertip beam condensed, carrying the terrifying power of the Great Evolution Sword Net Illusion Killing Technique!

brush!

A dazzling finger beam shot out, tearing through the barrier and piercing through the body in the instant before the opponent's defensive barrier could be fully replenished and charged!

"No! Impossible...!"

Xie Tiannan stared at the shattered barrier, his eyes filled with extreme horror, watching helplessly as the finger beam transformed into a sharp arrow in the air.

laugh!

The arrow struck him precisely between the eyebrows!

Xie Tiannan's eyes widened, his face frozen in horror, and his life force rapidly drained away, instantly extinguished.

Ye Jingyun, who was not far away, stood there completely stunned, her whole body horrified and her face full of disbelief.

"impossible!"

Her body trembled slightly uncontrollably, and her mind was completely in disarray.

Ling Xiu's eyes were cold. Before Xie Tiannan's body could fall to the ground, he flew over and smashed his head with a palm!

boom!

His head exploded, and his body fell heavily to the ground. Xie Tiannan died a gruesome death, his soul and spirit utterly destroyed!

This is Ling Xiu's consistent principle: either he doesn't take action, or when he does, he eliminates all threats and prevents future troubles!

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, but Ling Xiu reacted extremely quickly, instantly summoning the Nine Dragons Heavenly Shield to shield himself from the spray.

Even though Ye Jingyun was extremely close, she was still covered in stains.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, less than thirty breaths in total.

Just a moment ago Ye Jingyun was arrogant and smug, but now she was completely terrified, standing there dumbfounded, her face pale and her heart trembling.

Looking at the two gruesome corpses on the ground, one a bloody mess and the other decapitated, she had never experienced such a horrifying scene before, and was so frightened that she almost lost her mind.

"No...who are you?! How dare you kill Xie Tiannan and Li Qiang!"

She screamed, her feet moving uncontrollably backward, filled with fear and wanting only to escape.

"You wait! You will suffer the wrath of the Qingyun Sect! My grandfather is Elder Ye Chunqiu of the Qingyun Sect, a top-tier expert in the Tongxuan Realm. You are doomed!"

Despite her fierce threats, Ling Xiu, dressed in gray robes with his face half-concealed, locked onto her with a chilling aura of killing intent.

He walked slowly and steadily, approaching her step by step.

"Don't come any closer! You dare kill me? My grandfather will hunt you down to the ends of the earth! He'll skin you alive, tear you to pieces, and throw you into the fiery dungeon to be burned for eternity!"

Ling Xiu remained unmoved, his expression icy.

The intense aura of death drew ever closer, and Ye Jingyun was gripped by extreme fear, on the verge of despair. She retreated relentlessly, her fingertips already tightly gripping a communication talisman, ready to call for help.

Ling Xiu stared at her coldly.

This domineering and arrogant woman still can't see the bigger picture.

After years of enduring hardship and biding his time, Ling Xiu never forgot the humiliation she had inflicted on him.

A century of wasted time and humiliation has only resulted in unwarranted insults, wanton trampling, and bullying by powerful forces!

The scorn and humiliation he suffered in the abandoned treasure pavilion, and the unwarranted killing and scheming he endured in the valley today—all the hatred intertwined and condensed in Ling Xiu's eyes, leaving only a bone-chilling killing intent.

From the day he was humiliated in the Ruined Treasure Pavilion, he had made up his mind that this woman must die today!

To spare her life would be unfair to myself, and even more so to the countless people she had bullied!

This woman must be killed without mercy!

"Give up the struggle."

Ling Xiu's voice was icy as he slowly approached again.

"Don't come any closer!"

Ye Jingyun was terrified and suddenly crushed the communication talisman in her hand, while trying to summon her protective shield magic weapon.

As Ye Chunqiu's granddaughter, she must possess a treasure for self-defense, a fact Ling Xiu had already anticipated.

The moment the talisman shattered, the Thunderclap Sword, though damaged, was still incredibly sharp and shot through the air!

brush!

A sharp sword light tore through the sky and pierced her throat in an instant!

Ye Jingyun's eyes widened, her face twitched violently, and she didn't even have time to let out a final scream.

His eyes were filled with resentment and disbelief; he could not believe until his death that he would perish at the hands of an unknown rogue cultivator.

His body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Mystic Fire Technique!"

Ling Xiu raised his hand and cast a spell, and raging flames instantly engulfed the three corpses.

He quickly took the Qiankun bags from the three of them, as well as the low-grade Xuan-rank flying sword.

After the corpses had all turned to ashes, Ling Xiu carefully covered up the traces and erased all signs of the fight.

Don't stay here for long.

Ye Jingyun's crushing of the communication talisman just now most likely alerted Ye Chunqiu.

Given the opponent's terrifying speed at the Transcendent Realm, they will surely arrive at the valley within half a day!

Li Qiang, Xie Tiannan, and Ye Jingyun never knew who killed them until their deaths.

His body died without a trace, leaving no clue whatsoever!
