Leave None Standing

The three-eyed Rock-Swallowing Behemoth died, its crumbling stones disappearing as the energy returned to the Secret Realm.

Xia Wuji stood tall, alone with his sword, staring at Chu Jue and the others, who were consumed by rage.

"Xia! Wu! Ji!" Chu Jue roared, his boundless killing intent boiling.

"I was just looking for you!"

"And you came right to my doorstep!"

"You even stole my points!"

"I'll make sure you die a terrible death!"

Chu Jue's eyes were bloodshot.

"Take him down!" a furious shout rang out.

Su Guang, with his cultivation at the third level of the Primal Energy Realm, was the first to charge. Wielding a top-grade sword, he unleashed a fierce sword art, his icy blade slashing towards Xia Wuji's chest.

Xia Wuji's expression was indifferent. With a gentle flick of the Jinghong Sword in his hand, he deflected Su Guang's incoming blade.

Su Guang's sword move was deciphered in an instant, and a sense of unease immediately welled up within him as he tried to retreat.

But it was too late!

A burst of Sword Qi erupted from Xia Wuji's Jinghong Sword.

Su Guang's pupils constricted.

The next moment, blood splattered three feet!

Before he could even let out a scream, his head flew into the sky, dead as dead could be!

Seeing Su Guang dismembered, Chu Jue's expression suddenly stiffened, and the other noble disciples were inwardly shaken.

Su Guang was not weak. With his third-level Primal Energy Realm cultivation, his sword art was quite exquisite, and his combat experience was reasonably rich, yet he was instantly killed by Xia Wuji's sword!

"I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to have such combat power, but opposing me, this prince, will lead to no good end for you!" Chu Jue shouted coldly.

In an instant, he formed a hand seal, and the circular ring that had just restrained the three-eyed Rock-Swallowing Behemoth quickly spun and appeared above Xia Wuji.

The ring was about to descend.

But from Xia Wuji's body, Sword Essence suddenly erupted. It was as if countless invisible sharp swords surrounded him, preventing the ring from descending any further.

"He's already been held back by me, what are you all standing around for?" Chu Jue roared.

The other noble disciples had just witnessed the power of Chu Jue's ring. It was a low-grade Spirit Artifact, capable of restraining even the three-eyed Rock-Swallowing Behemoth.

Therefore, their fear vanished.

Following that, the woman with the second-level Primal Energy Realm cultivation clapped her hands, and two talismans floated out. The talismans transformed into wind blades in the air, slashing towards Xia Wuji!

The rest followed behind the wind blades, charging towards Xia Wuji.

"A bunch of trash!"

Xia Wuji coldly snorted. The aura of Sword Essence around his body suddenly erupted again, and the ring above his body was instantly blown away.

"Swish!"

The Jinghong Sword slashed upwards diagonally!

"Clang!"

A crisp explosion sound was heard.

Chu Jue's low-grade Spirit Artifact ring was actually split in half by Xia Wuji's sword!

"All of you, die!"

Xia Wuji's momentum surged, and he swept his sword horizontally.

Overlapping Waves Sword Art, Triple Wave!

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

In an instant, three streams of sword light swept out, vast and mighty, with unparalleled power.

The two wind blades formed by the talismans were impacted by the sword light and directly annihilated!

Following the talismans, the noble disciples who had charged towards Xia Wuji were all blown away by the fierce and sharp sword light. Their bodies, like kites with broken strings, lost their lives in mid-air before they could even hit the ground!

The power of a single move was terrifying!

In the blink of an eye, only the woman skilled in using talismans remained by Chu Jue's side.

The woman's face was as pale as paper, and her whole body was trembling.

The Twelfth Prince, Chu Jue, was not much better off either... a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"You want to kill me? Are you qualified?" Xia Wuji's cold voice rang out.

A look of determination instantly appeared on Chu Jue's face. He quickly took out a pill and threw it into his mouth.

The pill entered his stomach.

A crimson flame suddenly appeared on Chu Jue's body.

This was the characteristic of burning vital energy!

The pill he had taken was a low-grade Spirit Artifact, the Life-Burning Pill!

When desperate, taking the Life-Burning Pill would burn one's life force, overdrafting potential to exchange for a brief period of super-powered bursts!

Chu Jue, who was already at the fifth level of the Primal Energy Realm, experienced a significant surge in strength after consuming the Life-Burning Pill, and his fear was eliminated!

"Reinforce me with talismans!" Chu Jue roared.

The woman beside him quickly shot out a talisman and pressed it onto Chu Jue.

Around Chu Jue, winds and waves surged, his aura growing stronger.

He raised the low-grade Spirit Artifact long saber in his hand, its blade pointing directly at Xia Wuji, and said, "Xia Wuji, you are indeed formidable to have forced me to this point."

"But this is as far as you go!"

"This time next year will be your death anniversary!"

Xia Wuji's expression was indifferent. "Unleash any other tricks you have. It's nothing more than a dying struggle. I'll let you struggle all you want."

"How dare you boast! With my current strength, killing you is more than enough!" As Chu Jue's voice fell, the ground beneath his feet exploded, and his body shot towards Xia Wuji like an arrow released from a bow.

"Chaotic Gale Saber Art!" Chu Jue let out a beast-like roar.

This saber art was a supreme skill of the Great Chu Imperial Family, a mid-tier, low-grade inheritance. In an instant, the blade of Chu Jue's saber danced wildly, unleashing wave after wave of saber energy, the saber light like a torrent.

Facing such an offensive, a flicker of fire erupted from Xia Wuji's Jinghong Sword.

True Sun Swordplay!

The current True Sun Swordplay was vastly different from before.

This was not only because Xia Wuji's cultivation had improved significantly but also due to the flames within him.

The previous flames were merely pure Beast Fire, of no rank. But the current flames had integrated a wisp of Earth Core Fire's essence, elevating them to a low-grade Spirit Fire.

With the enhancement of the low-grade Spirit Fire, the power of the True Sun Swordplay soared. The tip of the Jinghong Sword seemed to be adorned with a great sun.

The firelight surged, and scorching heatwaves rolled.

The saber energy unleashed by Chu Jue's Chaotic Gale Saber Art shattered one after another!

Xia Wuji took a step forward, unfolding the Cloud Soaring Steps. His figure left behind trails of afterimages, and in an instant, he had charged to Chu Jue's front!

A sword surged forth!

Chu Jue blocked with his saber!

"Clang!"

His low-grade Spirit Artifact long saber snapped in two!

Chu Jue's body was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground!

Xia Wuji strode forward, his speed extreme, and swung his sword down again!

Chu Jue roared, raising his arms, his two palms overlapping. A jade pendant in his palms emitted a spiritual light, blocking Xia Wuji's sword strike.

However, countless cracks appeared on this spiritual light.

Chu Jue's knees buckled, and he fell to the ground!

"Ugh!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Xia Wuji, I am the Twelfth Prince of the Great Chu Dynasty. If you don't stop..." Chu Jue shouted in panic.

"Swish!"

Xia Wuji swung his sword down again!

"Crack!"

The jade pendant held by Chu Jue's palms shattered!

The protective spiritual light also disintegrated!

The Jinghong Sword, emanating firelight, descended and severed Chu Jue's clasped hands!

"Ah!"

Chu Jue let out a heart-wrenching scream!

"Xia Wuji... if you kill me... my sixth brother will never let you go... and our Great Chu Imperial Family will never let this go!"

"Whoever wants revenge, whoever wants to continue, I will face them all, but you must die!" Xia Wuji said coldly.

If others do not offend me, I will not offend them.

Since Chu Jue wanted his life, he would not let Chu Jue continue to live!

Xia Wuji's sword edge was about to descend again!

Suddenly, a majestic voice rang out.

"Stop!"

From Chu Jue's body, a hazy phantom emerged. Vaguely, it could be seen to be the image of an old man.

"Little fellow, not just anyone can kill a descendant of the Great Chu Imperial Family. If you stop now, this old man guarantees no repercussions for what has passed."

"But if you dare to kill him, this old man will remember you. Even if you eventually enter Azure Star Academy, the power of our Great Chu Imperial Family will still make it impossible for you to move an inch or establish yourself. In the end... blood debt will be repaid with blood!"

"I want his dog life, and no one can stop me. It's just a mere spiritual projection, what are you?" Xia Wuji's spiritual power surged out instantly, shattering the old man's spiritual projection!

"Swish!"

Another sword strike fell!

The Twelfth Prince of the Great Chu Imperial Family, Chu Jue, his head rolled, his eyes wide open, dying with regret!

Xia Wuji's expression was cold, like a god of death emerging from hell. He turned to look at the woman who was trying to escape using a talisman.

The woman's face turned deathly pale: "Young Master Xia, I..."

"You deserve to die too."

A sword flashed, Sword Qi howled, and another head fell!
