The two of them struck almost simultaneously. Boundless Qi and Blood power burst from their bodies in an instant, scorching hot as though it could melt everything.

Their figures shot out like meteors and collided with a thunderous boom.

Two Qi and Blood Realm Cultivators were locked in a fierce battle.

The others were not idle either.

At an order from Li Family First Elder Li Xuantong, the Li Family elites behind him brandished their weapons and charged at the Su Family.

The Su Family hastily met their attack.

A brutal slaughter began. Almost every moment, someone lost their life.

Yet for the sake of their respective Lineages, both sides charged forward one after another without end.

Li Family Second Elder Li Xuanzhong took the lead. Wielding his broadsword, he raised it and brought it down, cutting down three men in an instant.

Su Family Second Elder Su Bai, who saw this, had his eyes turn bloodshot.

Of the three men Li Xuanzhong had just killed, one was his son.

"Li Xuanzhong, you old bastard, give me your life!"

Su Bai roared.

Rather than being alarmed as the furious Su Bai charged toward him, Li Xuanzhong was delighted. He burst into laughter. "You came at just the right time! Today, I'll use you to consecrate my blade!"

With that, he swung his broadsword and met him head-on.

Every move they exchanged was a killing move.

Neither would rest until the other was dead, fighting with their lives on the line.

After merely a dozen exchanges, both had already suffered considerable injuries. Yet neither cared in the slightest, and the more they fought, the fiercer they became.

Seeing their Second Elder fight so valiantly,

the other Li Family Elders refused to be outdone. They each sought out a Body Realm Cultivator of the Su Family and fought them in pairs.

At first, the Su Family Cultivators and Li Family Cultivators were evenly matched,

but as time passed, the scales of victory gradually tipped toward the Li Family.

Amid the slaughter,

three Body Realm Cultivators of the Su Family had already fallen beneath the Li Family Cultivators' combined assault.

On a small hill.

Zheng Family Patriarch Zheng Lingjun stood with his hands behind his back, taking in every detail of the battlefield.

A Zheng Family Elder at his side sighed. "I truly never expected the Li Family's Young Patriarch to be so formidable. Even Su Changqing, a veteran Qi and Blood Realm Cultivator, cannot do anything to him."

"Baihe County has produced such a monstrous genius. Who knows whether that is a blessing or a calamity?"

Another Zheng Family Elder said.

"Patriarch, judging by the situation, the Su Family is likely to lose."

"If nothing unexpected happens, that should be the case. But I do not think matters are so simple. The Su Family should still have a trump card."

Zheng Lingjun said.

Meanwhile.

The battle between Su Changqing and Li Xinge had already reached its most intense stage.

"I never thought that one day, I, Su Changqing, would be forced into such a state by a junior."

Su Changqing said, panting heavily.

Li Xinge shook his head and mocked, "Senior, you have grown old."

Su Changqing was not angered by Li Xinge's mockery.

He glanced toward the battlefield where the Su and Li Families were fighting. The Su Family Cultivators were being driven back step by step beneath the Li Family Cultivators' charge, while one Su Family member after another fell beneath the Li Family's butcher blades.

Su Changqing suddenly burst into wild laughter.

"So be it! Let this old man shed his very last drop of blood for the Lineage!"

A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Li Xinge's heart.

The next moment.

Su Changqing pulled a blood-red pill from his robes.

Seeing the pill, Zheng Family Patriarch Zheng Lingjun's face filled with shock. "This... could it be a Blood Burning Pill?"

"What is a Blood Burning Pill?"

A Zheng Family Elder asked with a puzzled expression.

"The Blood Burning Pill is a pill that burns one's qi and blood and exhausts one's lifespan in exchange for a temporary increase in strength. Given Su Changqing's current condition, if he takes the Blood Burning Pill, he likely will not live longer than a quarter of an hour."

Zheng Lingjun explained.

"Has Su Changqing gone mad?"

The Zheng Family Elders cried out.

"No, he has not gone mad. He is making a final desperate gamble."

Zheng Lingjun shook his head.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Changqing swallowed the Blood Burning Pill.

The pill instantly melted in Su Changqing's mouth, turning into a scorching current that coursed through his entire body.

At the same time.

Su Changqing's aura began rising steadily.

Within several breaths, as Li Xinge's expression grew increasingly grim, it broke through to Qi and Blood Minor Accomplishment!

The initial stage of the Qi and Blood Realm and Qi and Blood Minor Accomplishment were entirely different concepts.

The aura Su Changqing now gave off was like a towering mountain, enough to fill one with despair.

Feeling the immense power contained within his body, Su Changqing could not help becoming intoxicated by it.

He murmured, "Is this the realm I have dreamed of day and night?"

But he quickly regained his clarity.

He knew that this state would not last long.

Before the medicine's effect faded, he had to kill Li Xinge and eliminate a future threat for the Lineage.

He stared coldly at Li Xinge, his eyes brimming with overwhelming killing intent.

He took one step forward, seeming to transform into a bolt of lightning. When he appeared again, he was already before Li Xinge.

Scorching Qi and Blood power coated his hand, radiating a heart-pounding energy fluctuation.

He clenched his hand into a fist and hurled it at Li Xinge.

If this punch landed, Li Xinge would likely be blasted into pulp.

He wanted to evade, but it was already too late.

He gritted his teeth as the Qi and Blood power within him surged wildly, instantly condensing into a blood-colored barrier before his chest.

Su Changqing's fist slammed directly into the barrier.

Overwhelming force hammered savagely against the blood-colored barrier.

Crack!

A crack appeared in the incomparably sturdy blood-colored barrier, then spread outward in an instant.

Boom!

A deafening explosion instantly resounded across the battlefield.

Powerful energy scattered outward, kicking up a sky full of flying sand and stones.

Li Xinge staggered back hundreds of steps before barely managing to stop.

Although he had blocked the strike, Li Xinge had also suffered severe injuries.

His face was somewhat pale now, and his aura had become disordered.

Seeing that Li Xinge was merely gravely wounded rather than dead, Su Changqing's expression darkened incomparably.

He never imagined that Li Xinge could block even the full-force strike of a Qi and Blood Minor Accomplishment Cultivator.

"With the strength of one newly entered into the Qi and Blood Realm, you can block the full-force blow of a Qi and Blood Minor Accomplishment Cultivator. This old man has never heard of such a thing. Li Xinge, you truly are a monster. Given enough time, the Innate Realm would be no more than a matter of course for you. But unfortunately, you have no such chance. To drag a monster like you into the grave with me, this old man's life has been worth it!"

Su Changqing wore a savage grin as he slowly walked toward Li Xinge.

Watching Su Changqing draw closer and closer, Li Xinge's expression became utterly grim.

Just as he was about to use his trump card, he caught sight of a figure rushing over behind Su Changqing.

Su Changqing was immersed in the excitement of being about to strangle a monstrous genius and remained completely unaware of the danger approaching him.

Just as he was about to deliver the killing blow, alarm bells suddenly rang in his heart. Su Changqing instinctively turned around, and his pupils abruptly contracted.

He hurriedly tried to defend himself, but it was already too late.

First Elder Li Xuantong launched a sneak attack with lightning speed, thrusting his sword straight through Su Changqing's chest.

The agonizing pain instantly made Su Changqing lose his reason. With a single palm strike, he sent the First Elder flying.

Just as he was about to continue the pursuit, Li Xinge seized the opening behind him and threw a punch, blasting Su Changqing's head apart. Red and white splattered across the ground.

As the headless corpse crashed heavily to the ground, Li Xinge finally let out a sigh of relief.

"The Li Family's greatest enemy is finally dead."

Then, as though remembering something, he hurriedly walked toward the First Elder.

Seeing the First Elder half-kneeling on the ground, Li Xinge asked worriedly, "First Elder, are you all right?"

The First Elder wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, waved a hand, and laughed. "Rest assured, Patriarch. This old man is fine. Ten days or half a month of recuperation will do."

"That is good. If the First Elder had not acted in time, I fear I would have been doomed."

Li Xinge said with lingering fear.

He never expected Su Changqing to possess a trump card that could directly increase his strength.

Hearing this, the First Elder said somewhat ashamedly, "This old man was negligent and nearly ruined everything. I should have reminded the Patriarch about something like the Blood Burning Pill."

Only then did Li Xinge learn that the blood-red pill Su Changqing had taken was a Blood Burning Pill.

"The First Elder has already done very well."

Li Xinge said with a smile.

"We have won. From this day onward, the Mangshan Su Clan shall exist no more!"

The two looked at each other and burst into hearty laughter.

Elsewhere, Su Bai, who was fighting Li Xuanzhong, was dazed when he saw Su Changqing killed.

"Old Ancestor!"

In the instant Su Bai lost focus, Li Xuanzhong seized the opportunity and chopped off his head with one stroke.

Looking at the head rolling across the ground, Li Xuanzhong chuckled. "Did your Old Ancestor never teach you not to lose focus in battle? Hahaha..."

With their supreme elder dead and their Second Elder slain, the remaining Su Family Cultivators felt as if the sky had collapsed above their heads.

They no longer had any will to resist and began fleeing madly in every direction.

Seeing this, the Second Elder hastily gave the order. "Li Family young men, kill them all! Do not let a single one escape!"

The Li Family Cultivators began a frenzied pursuit of the routed survivors.

Half an hour later, as the last Su Family Cultivator was killed,

the Li Family Cultivators raised their weapons and began cheering wildly.

"Long live the Patriarch! Long live the Li Family!"

"Long live the Patriarch! Long live the Li Family!"

"Long live the Patriarch! Long live the Li Family!"

The sworn enemy that had been entangled with the Li Family for a hundred years had finally fallen at the hands of their generation.

Looking at the Li Family young men covered head to toe in blood, a smile rose at the corner of Li Xinge's lips.

He shouted, "Li Family young men, the war is not over yet! The Su Family still has remnants. Follow me up the mountain, slaughter every last Su Family remnant, and console the spirits of our ancestors in heaven!"

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

Although the Su Family's fighting force had been annihilated, its elderly, weak, women, and children remained. Naturally, the Li Family could not spare them either.

Do not spout nonsense about the Li Family being too cruel.

Mercy toward the enemy is cruelty toward oneself.

The Li Family Cultivators charged up the mountain and began a frenzied massacre.

Only half an hour later did this horrific massacre finally come to an end.

Thus.

The Mangshan Su Clan was destroyed by the Green Maple Li Clan and completely erased from Baihe County.
