Xiao Qian let out a scream, abandoned everyone else, and fled!

"Shen Xintang! Damn you! Even after you died, you left me with a calamity like this!"

Xiao Qian cursed, her white dress completely soaked, her hair disheveled and her whole body numb.

Hearing the screams behind her, she looked back again!

At that moment, she saw that there was no one left behind her!

The ten Xiao Clan martial masters and punishment masters who had sealed the ritual platform with her were all pillars of the clan, yet now she was the only one left alive. Most had been smashed to pieces, dying without even a place to be buried!

Amid the rain of blood that filled the sky, Master Fu hovered between heaven and earth, a blade in each hand, one black and one white.

Rain poured over him, while thunder erupted overhead and countless serpents of lightning formed vast nets!

His eyes, as lifeless as a corpse's, fixed on Xiao Qian.

In that instant, Xiao Qian felt as though she had fallen into hell. She struggled to breathe, unable to make a sound.

"Fu Yun!"

Xiao Qian gathered every scrap of reason she had and tried to stay calm. "We were wrong to do this! Please calm down. I can promise you we'll let today's matter end here. Our Xiao Clan won't pursue you for killing nine of our people! At the same time, our clan will take you in and hire you as a top adviser..."

"Has your husband arrived yet?"

Master Fu suddenly interrupted her with that calm question.

"My husband..."

Xiao Qian shuddered.

Had he spared her only to... wait for her husband to arrive?

He could have waited even after killing her, but he hadn't!

Why?

Did he want her to watch as the husband she was so proud of was crushed at his hands?

"Fu Yun, you're usually as timid as a mouse. How dare you be so arrogant today?"

Having figured out what Master Fu was thinking, Xiao Qian was overjoyed!

She now had hope of surviving!

"Tell him to hurry."

Master Fu's next words did not disappoint Xiao Qian.

She sneered inwardly. My husband is the Fourth Division Saint of the Demon-Slaying Headquarters! His realm is a level higher than yours. How could you possibly compare to him?

She might have feared Master Fu now, but Fu Yun could not tarnish her greatest source of pride.

Her husband!

"I'm here."

At those words, Xiao Qian's body went limp, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.

Her taut nerves finally found something to rely on.

Xiao Qian was almost in tears!

A strong arm wrapped around her, and in that instant, she felt as though she had reached the safest place in the world.

His embrace!

"Husband, tear him limb from limb!"

Xiao Qian spoke to the man beside her with all the rage and strength she could muster.

The man wore black-and-red brocade robes and had a tall, powerful build and a nose sharp as a sword. Though he was already middle-aged, he remained handsome and heroic, upright and commanding.

From any angle, he was a perfect man!

Though corpses lay and blood flowed all around him, the man remained as unmoving as a mountain.

Holding Xiao Qian, whose legs had gone weak, he looked at Master Fu and said in a voice like a great bell, "Fu Yun, with your abilities, why didn't you go to the Demon-Slaying Headquarters to slaughter demons, defend the righteous path, and save the people? Instead, you're here torturing and killing members of your own clan?"

"So?" Master Fu said.

"You are guilty," the man said.

Hearing this, Fu Yunzi merely smiled.

He landed on the roof of the Cloud-Watching Tower and pointed one of his white Demon-Slaying Blades at the man. "A man who can't even decide his own son's surname has no right to judge me."

Those words made Sword Qi surge to the heavens in Zhao Jianchen's eyes.

"Very well."

Zhao Jianchen gently set Xiao Qian down and strode toward Master Fu. The force of heaven and earth converged upon him.

The third level of the Heavenly Dominion Realm, Carefree!

Step by step, carefree through the mortal world!

With every step he took, vast amounts of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered around Zhao Jianchen!

The entire battlefield fell under his control!

"Go deal with that Qi Clan wretch," Zhao Jianchen told Xiao Qian.

"All right!"

Xiao Qian was overjoyed. She nodded obediently, then sneered at Master Fu. "You, Fu Yun, trying to put on airs even while taking revenge? What a joke!"

The moment the words left her mouth, several wind blades suddenly appeared beneath her feet and slashed across her thighs!

Splurt! Splurt!

Both of Xiao Qian's legs were severed at the roots and sent flying!

"Aah-!!"

Her smile tore apart. She crashed onto the roof of the Cloud-Watching Tower, blood gushing as she let out a heartrending scream.

"My legs! My legs!"

Xiao Qian looked down at her lower body, which had vanished without a trace. Her eyes nearly popped out of her head, her face twisted like a knot, and her gaze was filled with despair and pain.

What great beauty could bear to lose her lower body?

Never in her dreams had she imagined that Fu Yun had held something back, leaving a forbidden art beneath her feet!!

No one even knew which corner her beautiful legs had landed in!

Xiao Qian felt as though her insides had been torn apart.

"You're not going anywhere. Stay here and watch."

In the curtain of rain, Master Fu flicked away a returning wind blade from the forbidden art and spoke casually.

It had all happened too fast.

By the time Zhao Jianchen turned around, all that remained of his wife was her upper body!

The legs he had played with for half his life were gone!

They were truly gone!!

In that instant, countless blood vessels burst across Zhao Jianchen's face.

They had been forcibly torn open by his rage!

"Fu Yun!!!"

The entire Cloud-Watching Tower trembled at his roar.

"I'll drag out everyone in the world who has any connection to you and kill them all, every last one!!!"

As he roared, a black-and-red Demon-Slaying Blade, reeking of blood, appeared in his hand.

He charged at Master Fu in a black-and-red storm, intent on killing him!

A battle between Heavenly Dominion Realm experts erupted atop the Cloud-Watching Tower!

In no time at all, the Cloud-Watching Tower was already collapsing with a roar!

Such was the ferocity of the battle!

Below, Qi Lin had watched everything unfold with perfect clarity!

It was impossible for him not to be stirred.

"Master Fu..."

At this moment, Qi Lin's impression of the man changed completely!

Perhaps Master Fu himself believed it was already too late.

"But from this moment on, surely he can do more to bring comfort to Lord Shen's spirit in the nine springs..."

Revenge!

He had to take revenge!

Qi Lin stared fixedly at the Cloud-Watching Tower.

"Mother!"

Just then, as the Heavenly Dominion Realm battle raged, a heart-rending roar rang out beside Qi Lin.

It was Xiao Xuanxing!

He hadn't left!

None of the thirty-four talented Xiao Clan disciples had left.

When Master Fu had been slaughtering everyone, they had all been fleeing.

But the instant Zhao Jianchen arrived, they stopped.

And when Xiao Xuanxing saw Xiao Qian's legs being cut off, he roared, suddenly gripped his white longsword, and turned back toward Qi Lin!

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Ningdie caught his hand.

"Kill Qi Lin!!"

Xiao Xuanxing snarled.

"But Master Fu..."

Xiao Ningdie's voice was hoarse.

"Are you saying my father can't kill him?"

Xiao Xuanxing wrenched his hand free and snarled, "Useless! The Demon-Slaying Headquarters is our Xiao Clan's territory! This Divine Strategy Manor is our territory too! And you're still afraid of an old dog and a little dog? If you're that useless, get out of the Xiao Clan! Don't waste resources here!"

With that, he charged through the downpour to kill Qi Lin!

"Kill Qi Lin!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The next instant, all thirty-four Xiao Clan geniuses, Xiao Ningdie among them, turned back and closed in to kill Qi Lin!!
