"Buzz..." Ling Xiao grabbed the Chaos-Disrupting Ancient Halberd without moving an inch, and an invisible aura swept out.
Like an invincible war god, he reclaimed his weapon.
Tianxue Changming stared blankly at his empty hands, momentarily stunned.
"How so..."
He muttered to himself in horror, unable to comprehend what was happening.
"The Chaos-Disrupting Ancient Halberd is an insult to you. With your pathetic halberd skills, you dare to perform in front of me?"
Ling Xiao said with a mocking smile, swinging the Chaos-Disrupting Ancient Halberd in his hand and casually unleashing the Chaos-Disrupting Seven Forms.
"Buzz..."
The Chaos-Disrupting Ancient Halberd released a dazzling light, its divine power blazing forth, as if it had been sealed away for a long time and was now bursting forth from the earth.
A sharp beam shot out, shattering the void, as if heaven and earth were being divided.
Tianxue Changming's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. This seemingly ordinary and casual strike unleashed a power that terrified him, filling him with fear from the bottom of his heart.
He mobilized all his magical power to resist, and necklaces, shields, and other magical items flew out from his body.
However, all of this was as useless as paper in the face of the Chaos-Disrupting Seven Forms.
"Puff..."
Blood spurted out as half of Tianxue Changming's body was severed, nearly splitting him in two.
As he flew away, he was filled with shock and disbelief, unable to comprehend that Ling Xiao could be so powerful.
Is this still the same sickly person?
"Heaven Origin Strike..."
Ling Xiao's palm surged with energy, forming a vortex that absorbed almost all the surrounding energy.
Then, he flicked his finger, and a golden light flew out, striking Tianxue Changming and blasting him into a bloody mist, leaving not a trace.
All of this happened very quickly and cleanly; in the blink of an eye, the imposing head steward was blown to bits.
Behind them, Tianxue Junjie was dumbfounded. He was still hoping that his grandfather could help him get revenge.
I've been fantasizing and anticipating this ever since I came here. I've been holding it in for so long, and this is the result.
That's it?
"Young Master Junjie, the head steward..." Tianxue Cheng was speechless, as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water, feeling chilled from head to toe.
It's no exaggeration to say that he was ready to applaud the head steward, but instead, he was greeted with the news of a corpse being collected.
This was something he never expected.
"This beast is so powerful... How can this be! I refuse to accept this!"
Tianxue Junjie's face was filled with rage and resentment as he gritted his teeth and spoke, his expression twisted and ferocious.
Seeing Ling Xiao become stronger is more painful than seeing myself become weaker.
"Young master, don't get excited! Look! Your grandfather is back!" Suddenly, Tianxue Cheng pointed ahead and said excitedly.
A white halo bloomed, and the Tianxue Changming, which had been blasted to pieces, reformed and returned.
"Grandpa!" Tianxue Junjie was overjoyed. He saw hope, saw his grandfather's upright figure and broad back. This was the power of hope.
"Kill this beast! Your grandson knows you can do it!" he said with a ferocious grin, hoping his grandfather would become a dragon among men.
Tianxue Changming's face was grim, and he looked at the figure on the mountaintop with a mixture of shock and fear.
With just one move, only one move, he died once. How terrifying is that?
Suddenly, Ling Xiao raised his hand and pointed, and a terrifying beam of light shot out, grazing past him before he could react.
"You weren't attacking me?"
Tianxue Changming's eyes showed suspicion, but before he could think further, he heard a scream.
Ling Xiao's finger pierced through Tianxue Junjie, leaving a bloody hole in his heart. His eyes were wide open, filled with the fear of death.
This seemingly simple attack was filled with Destruction power; how could Tianxue Junjie, with his cultivation level, possibly withstand it?
He was instantly and completely annihilated, with no chance of survival.
"To insult me to my face is courting death. I'll settle all scores, old and new!" Ling Xiao's face was cold, his eyes filled with icy intent. He killed without hesitation, showing no mercy.
"Ah!"
Tianxue Changming out a mournful roar, then paused for a moment before reacting, staring at his grandson's corpse with eyes wide with rage.
Tianxue Cheng, standing beside the corpse, was terrified. He stared blankly, nearly wetting himself, and stood frozen in place, not daring to move, unsure of what to do.
He was terrified that he would be the next to die, and even the slightest movement would provoke Ling Xiao's urge to strike.
At this moment, all the powerful figures present, whether from the Snow Heaven Clan or the Giant Spirit Clan, were deeply shocked.
Tianxue Ji Ruomu, suddenly remembering what Ling Xiao had said earlier.
"So you're this powerful..."
The woman's heart remained restless and turbulent for a long time.
"That kid's something else. Luckily, he left early..."
In the distant void, a pair of eyes silently watched all of this, emitting a faint green light; it was none other than the sanctimonious old Tianjizi.
"Interesting...so interesting."
He chuckled softly, speaking in a voice only he could hear, before disappearing without a trace.
He wasn't the only one secretly observing; the pagoda-wearing youth Yuhua Fan, Yan Yunfei, and even the Absolute Evil True Lord hadn't gone far, all plotting to steal the treasure.
"You took my treasure, so I'll remember you." The Absolute Evil True Lord grinned wickedly.
Ling Xiao killed Tianxue Junjie with a single finger strike, and then moved to attack the head steward.
The light of the Chaos-Disrupting Ancient Halberd swept across the land without restraint, instantly landing on Tianxue Changming's head, its fierce killing intent chilling to the bone.
"This is outrageous!"
Tianxue Changming was furious. His originally somewhat aged body suddenly throbbed, bulging with youthful muscles and unleashing astonishing power.
Boom...
A deafening collision resounded, like the tolling of an Eternal clock, its Daoist essence echoing throughout heaven and earth.
Blood spurted out, tracing a dazzling trail.
In the brief exchange, Tianxue Changming's physical body collapsed, his muscles cracked open with wounds, blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he was severely injured.
With his Ling Xiao greatly improved, Ling Xiao's strength became even more extraordinary. Relying on his own power, he could easily crush opponents from the Ninth Heaven.
"Go!"
Ling Xiao's words became law; the Primordial Cauldron, like a mountain, suddenly suppressed the head steward.
Just like the Five Finger Mountain pressing down on Tianxue Changming struggled, he could not resist the divine power that suppressed him.
"Ling Xiao, there is no grudge between us that cannot be resolved. Since you killed my grandson, then our score is settled!"
Tianxue Changming pleaded loudly, his face filled with panic, all his previous high spirits gone.
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao laughed, "You're quite open-minded. I killed your grandson, don't you want revenge?"
He looked at him with disdain, never expecting this old man to be so shameless.
"He deserved to die. I am angry, but I will not seek revenge! From this day forward, I sever all ties with him!"
Tianxue Changming said in a deep voice, without shamelessly begging for mercy, and without forgetting to show a certain degree of integrity.
Yes, but not many.
"Really? I don't believe it, so you should go down and keep him company!"
Ling Xiao shook his head and sneered, not wanting to waste words. He'd even gone so far as to sever ties; why keep this kind of thing alive?
Tianxue Changming's face stiffened, and he roared unwillingly, "Clan Chief, save me!"
