Who Are You Trying to Kill?

Xu Yao's expression was sinister, and at this moment, he looked incomparably smug.

He had harbored a grudge against Xia Xuan for a long time. Now, he could finally torment Xia Xuan to his heart's content.

He was in no hurry to kill Xia Xuan.

Because death was actually a kind of release for an enemy.

He did not want Xia Xuan to obtain release so quickly!

The more Xia Xuan suffered, the more excited he became!

"Xia Xuan, Xia Xuan, three years ago, after our battle, you returned to the Sword Pavilion to recuperate."

"I secretly came there, wanting to take your life while you were ill!"

"So I disguised myself as an alchemist."

"By coincidence, at that time, your good wife, Madam Liu, was searching for a top-grade treasure pill for Xia Wudao and wanted to find someone to guide Xia Wuhui in alchemy, so she came to me."

"She begged me bitterly. She even took the initiative to disrobe before me and served me for seven days and seven nights straight. Hahaha!"

"In the end, I told her to bring me the Crimson Blood Sword, and I would agree to give her son Xia Wudao a top-grade treasure pill and teach her daughter Xia Wuhui the art of alchemy!"

"And she really did bring the Crimson Blood Sword."

"Of course, I deceived her. I took the sword and left. Hahaha!"

"If not for this Crimson Blood Sword, which allowed me to comprehend the Crimson Blood Heart Sutra of your Xia Family in the Sword Pavilion, how could I possibly have broken through to the Primal Energy Realm?"

Xu Yao's words were like needle after needle, stabbing into Xia Xuan's heart!

Covered in blood, Xia Xuan could not accept this truth. Instead, he continued roaring at Xia Wuji: "It was you... It was all you, Xia Wuji, you scourge! You stole the Crimson Blood Sword and handed it to Xu Yao. You and Xu Yao are birds of a feather!"

Xu Yao glanced at Xia Wuji and burst into laughter again. "Xia Xuan, Xia Xuan, Madam Liu accompanied me for seven days and seven nights back then. She even told me a secret."

"You only have one son. That is Xia Wuji!"

"As for Xia Wudao and Xia Wuhui, neither of them is your flesh and blood. As for who their father really is, even that slut Madam Liu has no idea. After all... the wild men she slept with behind your back were too numerous to count on both hands!"

"No! That's impossible!" Xia Xuan shook his head frantically.

"Xia Wuji, you bastard who forgot your roots and ancestors, you colluded with outsiders to persecute your biological father!"

"You even conspired with outsiders to slander the Sword Pavilion's matriarch!"

"You are utterly unforgivable. You deserve to go to hell!"

Xia Wuji had remained silent all along. He had originally thought he could take all of this lightly and would not lose his temper again.

Yet at this moment, Xia Xuan's words still provoked him.

Even after everything had come to this, Xia Xuan still believed that he was the chief culprit and the source of all evil.

"Then let that wicked woman, Madam Liu, tell you herself whether all of this was really caused by me!" Xia Wuji roared. He raised his hand and grabbed, his vast power condensing into a handprint that dragged Madam Liu out of the secret chamber, where she was not yet quite dead!

Madam Liu had already heard the conversation outside while she was in the secret chamber.

Facing Xia Xuan's gaze, which seemed ready to devour someone alive,

Madam Liu cried out, "Husband... I didn't know he was Xu Yao back then... He deceived me... If I had known he was Xu Yao... I absolutely wouldn't have given him the Jinghong Sword of the Sword Pavilion..."

"As for Wudao and Wuhui, so what if they aren't your biological children? Those siblings called you Father day and night. Wasn't that enough? What more could you possibly be dissatisfied with?"

"Husband... Xia Wuji killed Wuhui... Wudao is also barely holding on, and I'm about to die too..."

"You have to help us... Help us take revenge... Make Xia Wuji... accompany us in death!"

"Ah!" Xia Xuan went completely mad and roared, "I'll kill you first, you slut!"

He abruptly charged to Madam Liu's side and brought his sword down, cleaving off her head!

Then he looked toward Xia Wuji.

His entire body was trembling.

This blow had been far too great for him.

Xia Wuji was his only descendant.

Yet he had believed Madam Liu and misunderstood Xia Wuji all this time.

He had decided that Xia Wuji was the one who had thrown the Sword Pavilion into chaos, and had even believed that Xia Wuji had stolen the Crimson Blood Sword.

Moreover, all these years, he had given the fatherly love meant for his biological son to Xia Wudao and Xia Wuhui, those two bastards whose origins were unknown!

He had indulged those two bastards in every possible way.

Whatever those two bastards wanted, he had exhausted every effort to satisfy them.

Yet toward his only biological son, he had been so harsh...

In fact, just moments ago, he had even joined forces with that slut Madam Liu to poison his own biological son, all to benefit those two bastards!

"Wuji... Father... was wrong!" Xia Xuan was consumed by regret. His voice was filled with extreme suppression.

"Sect Master Xia, whether you were wrong or not has nothing to do with me."

As he spoke, Xia Wuji turned and left.

He did not look back.

All of this was Xia Xuan's own doing!

It was his retribution!

Xia Xuan's admission of guilt was merely his attempt to find himself a sliver of redemption in his despair.

But Xia Wuji did not need it!

Just as before, he had been disdainful of explaining even a single word to Xia Xuan!

"Hahaha, what a magnificent show this was. It was so satisfying to watch!" Xu Yao laughed loudly and suddenly thrust out a streak of crimson sword light!

The crimson sword light was incomparably precise. It pierced through Xia Xuan's abdomen and crippled his dantian.

Xia Xuan let out a miserable cry and collapsed facedown on the ground.

Xu Yao laughed loudly. "Xia Xuan, I won't let you die so easily. After all, we have many old accounts to settle, and they have to be settled slowly!"

"Next, I'll hang an iron chain around your neck."

"I'll hold the chain."

"Wherever I go, you'll crawl there like a dog!"

"Hahaha!"

Xu Yao's booming laughter echoed through heaven and earth.

Xia Xuan's heart sank into utter despair.

At this moment... his heart was as dead as ashes.

But Xu Yao was of course still unsatisfied.

He glanced at Xia Wuji, who was preparing to leave, and sneered. "Did I say you could leave?"

Xia Wuji looked at Xu Yao with an utterly indifferent expression. "The one you want revenge on is the Sword Pavilion's master. I have nothing to do with the Sword Pavilion."

Xu Yao maintained the lofty bearing of a victorious man and said, "But you are still surnamed Xia. And when I, Xu Yao, do things, I believe in cutting the weeds and digging up the roots!"

"Of course, there is another way."

"For example, kneel before me, acknowledge me as your father, change your surname to Xu, then pull that dog chain for me every day and drag your biological father, Xia Xuan, around like a dog while serving at my side!"

"Then, you can live!"

This was the cruelest way to torment Xia Xuan!

He would make Xia Xuan's only son drag Xia Xuan around every day with a chain locked around his neck, while Xia Wuji called him Father in Xia Xuan's presence.

At the thought of this, Xu Yao's body trembled with excitement.

This was a pleasure that reached deep into the soul!

Xia Wuji sneered. "You have taken revenge on Xia Xuan and destroyed the Sword Pavilion. You've already achieved your goal, but you have no right to provoke me!"

Xu Yao's gaze instantly turned incomparably cold. "You little brat, I gave you a chance, but don't be so ungrateful!"

Xia Wuji looked at him. "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Xu Yao barked coldly, "What an arrogant brat who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

"If that's the case, then go die!"

As his voice fell, the violent aura around Xu Yao suddenly surged!

The cultivation of the second level of the Primal Energy Realm erupted!

The ancestral supreme-grade treasure sword that had once belonged to the Sword Pavilion in his hand came crashing down toward Xia Wuji!

Sword qi was like primal energy!

Swift and ferocious!

In his eyes, the aura fluctuations coming from Xia Wuji were merely those of the Sea of Qi Realm.

With a casual sword strike, he could easily kill a whole swath of ants like him!

Lying on the ground and suffering a fate worse than death, Xia Xuan watched the crimson sword energy slashing toward Xia Wuji and felt that his only son was doomed. After all, before his cultivation had been crippled, even at the peak of his strength, he had possessed the peak cultivation of the Sea of Qi Realm, yet he still could not withstand this sword strike.

Seeing the crimson sword energy about to land on Xia Wuji and split his body in two,

the light in Xia Wuji's eyes seemed to exhale and swallow sword qi.

Within his dantian, the Sword Seed trembled faintly, and Sword Essence instantly poured forth!

A sharp, piercing edge shot skyward from his body!

"Shing!"

The Jinghong Sword left its sheath!

Slash!
