Three Blades Slay the Bone Refining Realm, the Li Family Patriarch Falls!

"Hiss!!"

The remaining four Tendon Refining Realm martial artists, who were preparing to coordinate and surround Liu Chu, all had looks of horror in their eyes as they retreated in unison.

Originally, they had assumed that after observing from the sidelines for a while, they had gained a certain understanding of Liu Chu's strength.

Six Tendon Refining Realm martial artists charging together would surely bring immense pressure upon Liu Chu, perhaps even causing him to be injured or killed!

But in the end, Liu Chu suddenly unleashed an even more powerful blade technique, killing two Tendon Refining Realm martial artists with a single strike!

This unexpected turn of events immediately filled their minds with terror, scaring them into flying backward.

"Now... it is your turn to parry my offensive!"

Fierce light erupted from Liu Chu's eyes as he sprinted toward two of the Tendon Refining Realm martial artists.

With his Thunderclap Blade Technique reaching perfection, he now mastered two perfected blade techniques simultaneously, pushing the power of his swordsmanship to a higher level.

He even felt that his decision to wear armor today was somewhat redundant!

Looking at the dense barrage of blades sweeping toward him once more, he felt not a shred of pressure, confident that he could carve a bloody path even without his armor!

Swish!

His long blade cleaved out streaks of light, swift as lightning and forceful as a crashing wave; the Li Family martial artists blocking his path were all hacked to the ground.

Splatter, splatter, splatter!

Severed limbs and arms accompanied by blood were tossed into mid-air!

One Li Family disciple after another fell.

In the blink of an eye, a bloody path had been carved by his blade, and he had already appeared before two of the Tendon Refining Realm martial artists.

"No, save me—"

The two Tendon Refining Realm martial artists were struck with panic, crying out in despair.

Having witnessed two of their peers being killed by Liu Chu in a single strike, they had almost completely lost the courage to fight him.

"Stop!!"

At this moment, the head of the Li Family could no longer hold back and moved to intervene.

He had been watching coldly from the steps of the hall, intending to let the Li Family martial artists wear Liu Chu down until he revealed a flaw.

Only then could he seize the opening to kill him in one blow and resolve this family crisis.

After all, with the Great Elder likely dead, he was the only Bone Refining Realm martial artist left in the Li Family.

If he were to enter the fray himself and something went wrong, even if he succeeded in killing Liu Chu, the Li Family would lose its Bone Refining Realm expert and eventually be carved up by rival factions.

The Li Family needed a Bone Refining Realm expert to hold the fort!

Even if the Li Family head had the courage and confidence to fight Liu Chu, he could not easily step in.

However, despite his intense focus and locking his aura onto Liu Chu, he found that Liu Chu always held back some strength, never revealing a single flaw.

With the Li Family members nearly wiped out, the head of the Li Family could no longer stand by; he flew into the fray, his hands clad in silver-threaded gloves, moving fast as lightning to appear behind Liu Chu in an instant.

This punch was thrown in a rage, his tendons and bones humming; the fist shattered the air, acting like a reef splitting a torrent, carrying immense force and terrifying momentum!

"I was waiting for this moment!"

Liu Chu felt the chill behind him, yet he felt no fear, a sharp glint erupting in his eyes.

His internal energy exploded; he had anticipated this all along and held back power, suddenly turning to deliver a slash. This strike condensed all his strength, pushing his blade technique to the absolute limit.

The techniques gained from perfecting two different blade styles were poured entirely into this one strike!

A dazzling, brilliant blade light suddenly bloomed, its extreme sharpness containing an extreme chill, as if it could sever all obstacles in the world!

"What a powerful strike!!"

The Li Family head's pupils contracted, a chill surging in his heart as he felt that facing this blade was like having his very soul extinguished!

Sensing the danger, he dared not be careless, pouring his internal energy into his fists even more frantically. The momentum of his punches increased, and he struck forward with even greater ferocity.

Clang-boom—

A dull, metallic explosion rang out as the energies collided and surged!

The Li Family head felt a dull pain in his fists and numbness in his arms; a savage force traveled up his limbs and into his internal organs, causing them to tremble and his blood to churn.

His body could not help but retreat several steps, his expression one of shock.

"How could he be this strong..."

The Li Family head felt a sense of disbelief; he had not expected Liu Chu's sudden burst of power to be so unexpectedly formidable.

"Die!"

At this moment, Liu Chu did not pause at all; his entire body moved like a dragon emerging from an abyss, sprinting forward as his long blade once again bloomed with a dazzling, brilliant light!

It was another strike that poured out his entire strength, a blade of extreme energy condensed into extreme sharpness!

Before the blade even arrived, the chill had already descended!

The head of the Li Family felt a chill crawl across his skin, his hair standing on end, but it was already too late to dodge or retreat; he could only grit his teeth and swing his fist to meet the attack head-on.

CLANG! THUD!!

Another dull, heavy impact exploded outward, the terrifying force sweeping through the air with a deafening roar.

The difference this time was that the head of the Li Family failed to fully block the blade, which shifted at a bizarre angle and carved into his shoulder, leaving a wound so deep the bone was visible.

"Hiss!"

The head of the Li Family gasped in pain, his movements involuntarily stalling for a split second.

In a battle between experts, victory or defeat is often decided by a mere hair's breadth!

Liu Chu keenly seized the opportunity, his figure suddenly accelerating as he stomped across the ground and lunged forward like a tiger descending a mountain, brushing past the head of the Li Family.

As the gale of force rushed toward him, a flash of steel appeared, swift as lightning and accompanied by a thunderous shriek, moving too fast to be tracked by the eye.

The head of the Li Family instinctively threw a punch to intercept, but his fist struck nothing but air, his eyes widening in shock.

It's over...

A thought of pure despair rose in the heart of the Li Family head, his face turning ashen.

He knew that at this moment, the outcome had been decided!

He had lost!!

Sure enough, a sensation of coldness like splashing rain bloomed at his throat, making him clearly perceive his own defeat!

"Pfft!"

A crimson line blossomed across the neck of the Li Family head, followed immediately by blood erupting like a fountain.

With a face full of unwillingness, the head of the Li Family fell backward onto the ground!

"Patriarch!!"

"How is this possible? How could the Patriarch have lost!!"

The Li Family martial artists watched their leader collapse stiffly, their eyes wide with utter disbelief.

Three strikes!

A mere three strikes!!

The Patriarch had been slain by Liu Chu in only three strikes!!!

How could this be!

The Patriarch was a Bone Refining Realm expert; how could he possibly be killed in three strikes!!

The Li Family martial artists were all struck dumb with shock, unable to fathom that their leader, a dignified Bone Refining Realm expert, had been cut down in three moves.

The three flashes of the blade had occurred in barely a second or two, leaving them completely unable to react in time.

Yet Liu Chu did not stop; with a sharp turn, he lunged like a tiger released from a cage, charging toward the stunned Li Family martial artists.

His long blade was invincible, and all who stood in his path met their end!

Most of the Li Family martial artists had already been slaughtered, and in this moment of hesitation, another large group was cut down.

Only four Tendon Refining Realm martial artists managed to react and scrambled to retreat, but it was already too late!

Liu Chu appeared before them, his long blade erupting with a brilliant radiance, and in an instant, the extreme sharpness of the steel bloomed in the eyes of two of the Tendon Refining Realm martial artists, gradually obscuring their vision!
