Shattered Dantian! Severed Meridians!

At the entrance to the Ancestral Temple of the Xia family in the Sword Pavilion.

Xia Wuji held the Jinghong Sword, exuding a sharp aura that struck fear into people's hearts.

Several corpses lay at his feet.

Around him, a group of Sword Pavilion martial artists wore expressions of terror.

Xia Wuji coldly shouted, "I have come to the Sword Pavilion today only to complete the battle agreed upon a month ago and reclaim what belongs to me. Anyone not involved, get out of my way."

The martial artists of the Sword Pavilion were actually very familiar with Xia Wuji.

They all felt as if Xia Wuji had undergone a complete transformation, becoming a different person.

They didn't even dare to look directly at Xia Wuji. It was as if invisible sharp swords were swirling around him; staring for too long caused their eyes to sting!

"You scoundrel!" Just then, Xia Xuan's furious roar echoed.

He arrived with Xia Wudao.

Madam Liu and Xia Wuhui also arrived on the scene almost simultaneously.

Xia Wuji's gaze swept over the family of four, the corners of his mouth curling up into a curve filled with cold disdain.

Xia Xuan roared, "You scoundrel, do you know you are wrong!"

Xia Wuji let out a cold laugh and said, "What wrong have I committed?"

Xia Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "You have turned the Sword Pavilion into a mess, stolen the Crimson Blood Sword, stolen Innate Vital Energy, and a group of Sword Feather Guards died in the Monster Suppression Mountain Range because of you. How dare you say you are not wrong?"

"You are simply incorrigible!"

"I am giving you one last chance. Kneel and admit your mistake!"

Xia Wuji sneered, "Sect Master Xia, you may have forgotten, but when I stepped out of the Sword Pavilion's main hall a month ago, I severed all ties with you."

"So, what right do you have to demand I kneel and admit my mistakes?"

Xia Xuan's chest heaved violently with anger, as if a volcano was about to erupt within him.

Madam Liu fanned the flames from the side, saying, "This little brat won't shed tears until he sees his coffin. Why waste so much time talking to him?"

Xia Wuhui gave Xia Wudao a look, signaling him to act quickly, lest Xia Wuji reveal the truth about the missing Crimson Blood Sword.

But they didn't know that Xia Wuji had no intention of explaining anything.

He had given up on the Sword Pavilion and Xia Xuan.

Therefore, he didn't need Xia Xuan's understanding or acceptance!

Xia Wudao understood Xia Wuhui's gaze and immediately leaped forward, arriving in front of Xia Wuji.

He swung his greatsword, splitting the ground into a large crack, and said, "You merely repaired your Dantian with that wisp of Innate Vital Energy I discarded. You think you've achieved something?"

"Ridiculous!"

"Foolish!"

"Ignorant!"

"I am now a genuine cultivator at the first level of the Sea of Qi Realm!"

He wantonly unleashed his powerful Yuan Li aura, causing the surrounding light to distort.

He was extremely proud, as if standing on a mountaintop, looking down at the ants below, and said, "Xia Wuji, as long as you kneel on the ground, cripple your own hands and feet, and honestly explain how you obtained the Azure Star Token, I will spare you today!"

"Otherwise, if I have to take action myself, it will be too late for you to regret or beg for mercy!"

Around them.

The Sword Pavilion martial artists murmured amongst themselves, and naturally, no one thought highly of Xia Wuji.

Xia Wuji was already inferior to Xia Wudao before.

Moreover, Xia Wuji's Dantian had been shattered once. Even if it was repaired and he regained some strength, how much could he possibly recover?

The current Xia Wudao was already at the Sea of Qi Realm!

The sword in his hand was also a top-grade treasure sword that the Sword Pavilion's Sect Master, Xia Xuan, had spent a fortune to acquire!

Lin Zhengyuan watched the scene from a distance. He withdrew his gaze and looked at Lin Piaoxue, asking, "Is it really him?"

Lin Piaoxue nodded and said, "It's him!"

Lin Zhengyuan looked back at Xia Wuji, saying with great emotion, "The decline of the Sword Pavilion is not without reason."

"A fine talent like a Qilin Son is treated as a stain by Xia Xuan, suppressed and driven away!"

"While a rebellious brat is doted on like a treasure in his palm!"

"It's truly laughable, utterly laughable!"

They had also overheard the conversations of many Sword Pavilion martial artists here and already understood what had happened to Xia Wuji.

It was too ironic!

On the field.

Facing Xia Wudao, Xia Wuji's mind couldn't help but recall memories from his past life.

He gave the Azure Star Token to Xia Wudao.

But Xia Wudao still didn't let him go.

Back then, before Xia Wudao, he only wished for a swift end.

Yet Xia Wudao trampled his dignity again and again, making him wish for death but unable to find it.

These scenes were from a past life, but they still felt bloody in Xia Wuji's memory!

The chill emanating from Xia Wuji grew colder.

The Jinghong Sword in his hand slowly rose, its tip pointing directly at Xia Wudao!

Today, he would not only reclaim the Azure Star Token!

He would also make Xia Wudao truly understand what it meant to wish for death but be unable to find it!

"I already gave you a chance, yet you dare to draw your sword against me?" Xia Wudao's expression turned ferocious.

"You brought this upon yourself!"

"Then I shall grant your wish!"

The next moment, Xia Wudao's figure exploded forward.

The heavy sword in his hand swept fiercely towards Xia Wuji's chest.

To everyone in the Sword Pavilion, this strike would decide the victor!

Without a doubt!

However, Xia Wuji merely shifted his position by a single step, easily evading it, causing Xia Wudao's domineering move to miss!

"Trash!"

"You don't even know how to use a sword, what right do you have to wield one?"

Xia Wuji's cold shout rang out.

Xia Wudao's heart jolted, and he tried to forcefully halt his forward momentum, turning his sword to strike at Xia Wuji, who had appeared to his other side.

But it was too late!

There was no time!

A sharp sword gleam instantly appeared, and with a gentle flick of the blade!

"Ah!"

Xia Wudao let out a piercing, pig-like scream!

The wrist holding his sword had been sliced open!

His tendons were severed!

Blood splattered everywhere!

Xia Wudao's right hand lost all strength to grip his sword, and with a clang, the heavy sword crashed to the ground!

This scene happened too suddenly!

It caught everyone in the Sword Pavilion completely off guard!

Xia Wuji had severed Xia Wudao's wrist with a single sword strike, rendering him unable to even hold his weapon!

And just as everyone was stunned by this, three more sword lights flashed in the arena!

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Three streams of Sword Qi severed Xia Wudao's other wrist and both of his ankle tendons!

"Bang!"

Xia Wudao instantly collapsed onto the ground.

His hands and feet were crippled!

Blood gushed from all four limbs!

"Trash!"

"You have innate vital energy in your body, but you don't know how to use it. What right do you have to call yourself a warrior?"

Xia Wuji's cold shout echoed again.

With a light flick of his toe, Xia Wuji sent Xia Wudao's heavy sword flying!

The heavy sword soared into the air and then fell, its tip pointing downwards!

"Pfft!"

With pinpoint accuracy, it plunged into the body of Xia Wudao lying on the ground!

Piercing through his abdomen!

Directly crippling his Dantian!

"Ah!"

Xia Wudao let out another heart-wrenching scream!

His dantian was destroyed, the meridians in his limbs were severed, and he was pinned to the ground by a heavy sword. He struggled on the ground like a maggot!

Where was any trace of his previous arrogance?

Xia Wuji had temporarily spared Xia Wudao's life.

He wanted him to struggle in pain, to despair in his struggle!

Within Xia Wudao's body, Xia Wuji's sword essence remained, its sharp edge tearing apart his life force bit by bit. He would absolutely not live past three days!

In his past life, he had tortured Xia Wuji.

In this life, Xia Wuji was using his own methods against him!

Besides Xia Wudao's screams, there was no other sound in the entire arena.

Everything had happened too quickly! It was too shocking!

Xia Wudao, who was at the Sea of Qi Realm, had been so easily… crippled by Xia Wuji!

The key was that very few people in the arena had even seen how Xia Wuji drew his sword!

"Ah! Wudao!"

"My good son!"

Madam Liu finally snapped back to reality, her face turning incredibly pale. She let out a sharp, piercing scream and rushed toward her son, Xia Wudao!

"Brother Wudao!" Xia Wuhui also rushed out.

Xia Xuan let out a low roar, his vital energy erupting as he charged into the arena.

The Sword Feather Guards and guards of the Sword Pavilion all drew their swords!

But with a casual step, Xia Wuji appeared beside Xia Wudao and lifted his foot, placing his sole on Xia Wudao's head!

"Ahhh!"

"My son..."

Madam Liu cried her heart out, shouting hysterically.

"Xia Xuan... what are you waiting for? That scoundrel Xia Wuji crippled Wudao! Hurry and kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"

"Tear him to shreds!"

"I want to grind his bones to dust and scatter his ashes!"

Madam Liu was practically driven mad.

The veins on Xia Xuan's body bulged, looking extremely ferocious.

His eyes, filled with bloodshot capillaries, stared fiercely at Xia Wuji as he roared, "I order you, let Wudao go!"

Xia Wuji applied pressure with his foot.

Xia Wudao's skull cracked, and his cries became even more miserable.

Xia Wuji's expression was indifferent as he said, "I'll count to three. If I don't see the Azure Star Token, I'll crush his head!"
