Moved

With a single staff strike, he looked utterly imposing!

His momentum soared like a rainbow!

Yet it was completely useless!

The Ice Flame Two Extremes Sword Formation was a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

With a Martial Soul Fusion Skill's ability to take on opponents above one's ring level,

it could probably trap even a Soul Douluo for a while!

Let alone a mere Soul Emperor?

The instant the long staff in his hand smashed fiercely into the sword net formed by the Ice Sword, his martial soul, the Wind Ling Staff, was frozen solid, and the ice rapidly spread toward his arm.

Startled, he hurriedly let go.

"It's over. Heh... hahaha!"

The old family head burst into laughter! This was his strongest move. If even this could not break through the Ice Sword's net, what other way did he have to escape?

Especially when he turned around and saw that the Flame Sword net within the Ice Sword net was already right before him.

He was utterly despairing!

Yet he also became calm.

Perhaps after reaching the depths of despair, people could instead face life and death head-on.

But Si Tingxuan would not spare him because of that!

Whoosh, whoosh.

Wherever the Flame Sword winds swept through, everyone, including the old family head, was riddled with holes before finally turning into burning figures.

Gulp.

The family head, the Great Elder, and the other two all swallowed hard.

Terrifying!

Si Tingxuan was truly terrifying, whether in strength or methods.

If he had wanted to wipe out the Hua Family today, they would probably have been exterminated to the last member.

At the same time, each of them clenched their fists tightly.

Their hearts ached terribly!

The people who had died represented more than half of the Hua Family's strength!

If it had been anyone else, they would have rolled up their sleeves and fought long ago!

But the person they faced now was Si Tingxuan—a man far stronger than them.

And one to whom the Hua Family owed an enormous debt of gratitude, leaving them deeply remorseful.

Whether in conscience, morality, or strength,

none of it allowed them to do anything. They even had to be grateful!

Because Si Tingxuan had spared them!

In this world,

families were always treated as one whole. Had it been someone else, they would never have survived.

But Si Tingxuan had still spared them.

They watched his departing figure after he had dealt with the old family head and the others.

Their hearts filled with relief!

They understood perfectly well that Si Tingxuan was a decisive and ruthless man.

The reason they had survived was most likely because of Hua Qingluo!

But there would absolutely not be a second chance!

After exchanging glances,

the family head's expression darkened as he ordered, "Great Elder. Anyone who participated in the old family head's actions, or anyone who knew about them—make them all disappear!"

He paused, then added, "Also, anyone who knows that Spirit Hall came to our Hua Residence. If they are the old family head's people, eliminate them as well. If not, send them out of the city immediately. The farther away they go, the better. They are not to return within five years."

"Third Elder, burn all these corpses."

Finally, he swept his gaze over the few people remaining and said with a stern, grave expression, "Remember this: erase every piece of information connecting Spirit Hall with our Hua Residence."

"Once even the slightest information leaks out, our Hua Family will face an even greater calamity!"

The Great Elder and the others looked equally grave. "Yes!"

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

The arranged battle was tomorrow!

Si Tingxuan checked the results of his three disciples' training over the past half month.

Hua Qingluo and Long Wu had both advanced two levels, while Yun Piaopiao had advanced one.

This showed that his training was quite effective. After all, it had only been half a month! Cultivating Soul Power was secondary; improving physical fitness and coordination was the real priority.

Looking at Hua Qingluo, Long Wu, and Yun Piaopiao standing before him, Si Tingxuan nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad!"

Upon receiving Si Tingxuan's praise, smiles immediately appeared on Hua Qingluo, Long Wu, and Yun Piaopiao's faces, as though flowers had bloomed in their hearts.

Even their eyes shone with joy.

At that moment, Si Tingxuan took out a soul bone and held it out to Yun Piaopiao.

Yun Piaopiao recognized it at once. It was the soul bone she had given Si Tingxuan as repayment.

Seeing it suddenly, she froze for a moment and asked in confusion, "Teacher, this is..."

Si Tingxuan smiled faintly and rubbed her head. "What? Do you think a teacher would really take your soul bone? Not to mention that your brother left this soul bone behind, and it holds great meaning for you. If I truly accepted it, what kind of person would that make me, Si Tingxuan?"

"I only took it for the time being as a temporary measure, so that you would not be targeted again because of this soul bone. After all, there are plenty of desperate criminals in this world!"

"Teacher... sob, sob...!"

How could Yun Piaopiao still not understand? Si Tingxuan had been protecting her! She was so touched that she broke down completely!

Hua Qingluo and Long Wu were also deeply moved, even though Si Tingxuan's actions were not directed at them.

But as Si Tingxuan's disciples as well, they could see from this how much thought Si Tingxuan put into caring for his disciples.

"Alright. Stop crying and refine this soul bone!"

"But remember this: unless absolutely necessary, use this soul bone as little as possible. Your strength is not yet enough to deter those with malicious intentions."

"Mhm... sob... sob..."

Hearing Si Tingxuan's instructions, Yun Piaopiao nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, stop crying. Tomorrow is the day of the arranged battle with the Oriental Family and the Zhao Family. Don't lose, or your teacher will lose face!"

The moment she heard that, Yun Piaopiao immediately wiped away her tears and said with a determined expression, "Don't worry, Teacher! We definitely won't embarrass you!"

Hua Qingluo and Long Wu immediately echoed from the side, "That's right! Tomorrow, we'll beat them until they can't fight back at all."

The curve of Si Tingxuan's smile deepened.

Hua Qingluo and Long Wu had become increasingly in sync. Sometimes, even the things they said were exactly the same.

"Good. Then tomorrow, I'll be watching your performance!"

Hua Qingluo and Long Wu exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with delight, because they had been holding back a trump card.

They were waiting to use it in tomorrow's battle.

To give Si Tingxuan a huge surprise!

Of course, it would also be a "surprise" for their opponents!
