One Sword, Immortal Kneel

Beneath this sword qi, everyone felt an exceptionally sharp aura!

This sword qi had been quite small when it first appeared.

Yet in the blink of an eye, it expanded.

A silver sword gleam streaked forward.

It flew swiftly toward Jialie Ao!

A flash of terror appeared in Jialie Ao's eyes.

From that sword gleam, he actually sensed the threat of death!

"How is this possible?!"

In an instant, an inconceivable thought surfaced in his mind.

Xiao Tianci was clearly just trash. How could he unleash such a powerful attack?

Even Jialie Bi, a Da Dou Shi, could not produce such terrifying pressure!

He instinctively wanted to dodge.

But his injured body made his movements extremely sluggish.

The next moment, all thought froze.

A head soared into the air, trailing torrents of scalding blood.

Soon, the head fell to the ground, landing precisely on the plate atop the table before Jialie Ao. Its placement made it look just like a pig's head.

Jialie Ao's expression was vividly preserved upon that head, frozen in terror.

His eyes were wide open, as though he had witnessed something utterly unimaginable.

Jialie Ao had died with his eyes open!

Blood splashed onto the floor, and the dishes that had looked so delicious on the table now appeared utterly grotesque.

At once, the previously lively atmosphere in the hall fell silent.

Everyone's gazes, which had been fixed on Xiao Tianci, turned in unison toward Jialie Ao's head on the table, its eyes still open in death.

Their mocking looks turned to horror.

"Ah!"

The next moment, screams rang out.

Many of the maids in the hall had never witnessed such a bloody scene. Unable to endure it, they immediately screamed.

Meanwhile, the few Jialie Clan members beside Jialie Ao went cold from head to toe.

Just moments ago, they had been mere inches from that sword gleam.

Yet the peerless sword intent contained within it had been deeply etched into their minds.

They had no doubt that if Xiao Tianci's sword strike had landed on them, they would be the ones with their heads severed from their bodies!

Bang!

"Shut up!" An angry roar forcibly silenced the maids' shrill cries.

Jialie Bi slammed his palm against the table and rose to his feet.

The several elders beside Jialie Bi also snapped back to their senses, fury appearing in all their eyes.

Xiao Tianci had charged in alone and killed their clan leader's son before their very eyes.

If word of this got out, it would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to the Jialie Clan's reputation!

The Jialie Clan would likely be mocked over this for a long time to come!

"Men! Men! Everyone in the clan who can still breathe, get over here!"

Jialie Bi roared.

Jialie Ao was his son. Jialie Bi had poured countless resources and immeasurable effort into him.

Yet now, he had been killed in front of everyone.

Jialie Bi had always spoiled Jialie Ao, so naturally, he was incomparably enraged!

Jialie Bi's eyes had turned red.

Carried by Dou Qi, Jialie Bi's roar spread through nearly every corner of the Jialie Clan estate.

Thus, all the Jialie Clan members and guards swiftly gathered.

It had to be said that the Jialie Clan truly deserved its influence in Wutan City.

In just a few minutes, guards and clan members alike arrived outside the hall.

For a time, the area was packed with people.

Many wore curious expressions, unsure what had happened to infuriate Jialie Bi to such an extent.

But when they saw Jialie Ao's head displayed on the table, a chill rose in their eyes.

Goosebumps broke out across many of their bodies.

They exchanged glances. No wonder the clan leader had gone so mad.

It seemed that after today, all of Wutan City would be thrown into turmoil!

"Surround that bastard!"

Jialie Bi flung out an arm and roared.

When everyone saw Jialie Bi's incomparably gloomy expression, their hearts trembled. None dared delay in the slightest as they quickly moved into action.

The surging crowd directly surrounded the entire hall.

Even the core members who had been dining in the hall joined the operation to kill Xiao Tianci, aside from Jialie Bi and the three elders.

Before long, the massive crowd completely sealed off Xiao Tianci's path of retreat.

"Xiao Tianci, I admire your courage."

Seeing that the situation was settled, Jialie Bi spoke in an extremely icy tone.

"You dared lay a hand on Jialie Ao. I will show you what it means to beg for death but be unable to die!"

"I already said it. Tonight is the night your Jialie Clan will be completely erased from Wutan City."

While the Jialie Clan had been gathering, Xiao Tianci had simply stood quietly in place without the slightest reaction.

It was as though the Jialie Clan's actions suited his wishes perfectly!

"I will skin you alive, render your flesh into oil, make it into lamps, and light them in my son's tomb chamber!"

Jialie Bi's eyes seemed ready to spew fire as he viciously waved his hand.

"Attack! All of you, attack! Whoever is first to cripple Xiao Tianci's dantian will be rewarded five thousand gold coins!"

A large reward brought forth brave men. The people who had hesitated due to Xiao Tianci's terrifying sword qi immediately grew excited, charging forward with loud shouts and weapons in hand.

Seeing this, a cold smile appeared on Xiao Tianci's lips.

Great River Sword Intent!

He swung the dead branch in his hand.

Terrifying sword intent gathered.

In the span of a finger snap, the group of guards rushing toward him were all cleaved in half by Xiao Tianci!

Among those guards were two Dou Shi, while all the rest were Dou Zhe!

The strength gathered by these people could be considered quite formidable.

Yet beneath the Great River Sword Intent, they could not even last a single breath!

However, before Xiao Tianci could speak, the remaining guards and Jialie Clan members surged forward together.

Dou Qi of every color gathered at that moment, even eclipsing the bright moonlight.

Countless Dou Techniques instantly obscured Xiao Tianci's figure.

"Cripple him! Cripple him for me!"

Seeing this, a thrill of vengeance rose in Jialie Bi's heart. He clenched his fists tightly and stared fixedly at the center hidden beneath the Dou Techniques.

Yet the next moment, an incomparably brilliant radiance lit up from the center.

Then, sword intent even sharper than before shot skyward.

One Sword, Immortal Kneel!

Whoosh!

White light flashed.

Before everyone's eyes.

All the Dou Techniques were cleaved in two in an instant!

Then flesh and blood flew everywhere, and blood flowed like a river!

Countless severed arms and legs were flung through the air—a truly gruesome sight!
