Chapter 673
When he was suddenly interrupted, the old man raised his hand and wanted to directly shoot the guard who reported the news.
But once he thought that the Xie family had lost a lot of endure today, the old man held back stiffly: “Don’t come in without something important, understand?”
“No no no …… important! It’s too important!” The guard’s body trembled and his teeth shook, “Elder, Ancestor, the Hall of Justice and the Martial Alliance have led their troops in to kill!”
“!”
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
In this room, apart from the elder group, were all the ancestor generations of the Xie family whose ancient martial cultivation was over two hundred years old.
It was evident how much of a shock this life-and-death competition ring match had caused to the Xie Family.
Yet none of it was comparable to this one sentence of reporting the news.
“What did you say?!” The old man stepped forward and violently lifted the guard up, “Who fought their way in?”
The guard’s voice broke, “The Division, the Hall of Justice and the Martial, Martial Alliance!”
The old man’s pupils contracted violently.
The Hall of Justice and the Martial Dao Alliance were crazy, to attack the Xie family?
Aren’t they afraid that they will wait until Xie Huanran comes out of seclusion and slaughter the Judicial Hall and the Martial Dao Alliance!
“D*mn, they must also know that the old ancestor is in seclusion, so they will fight their way in at this time!” The Second Elder pounded the table heavily, his expression sinister, “Their guts are just too big!”
After all, Xie Nian had already let die.
This matter would definitely make Xie Huanran furious.
So destroying another Xie family would make no difference.
“Quickly, run!” Cold sweat broke out on the old man’s head at once, “The Martial Alliance is here, and that old b*****d Cheng Yuan is definitely here too!”
Their ancient martial arts cultivation was all too weak compared to Cheng Yuan’s.
Just like Xie Huanran could slap an ancient martial artist with a cultivation level of three hundred years to death, Cheng Yuan could kill them as easily as a slap on the wrist.
Without the old man saying so, the other ancestors had all prepared to flee long ago.
However, there was no chance for them to escape.
There were cold laughter that rang out deafeningly.
“Old man, let’s see who dares to run!”
“Boom!”
The house where the ancestors of the Xie family were meeting directly exploded apart, instantly splitting into pieces.
Cheng Yuan stood in mid-air and directly probed his palm, “Give me back!”
The old man who had just taken a step was just pulled back by Cheng Yuan’s internal energy.
He let out a miserable cry, “Cheng Yuan!”
Sure enough it was easy enough to be a palm slap.
The Second Elder was stunned and pulled his legs out to run.
“Second Elder, where do you want to go?”
The man’s voice was laced with laughter, but it was eerily cold and cool.
The Second Elder did not even have time to react before he was imprisoned.
Fu Yunshen squeezed the Second Elder’s throat with one hand and inclined his head again, ordering indifferently, “Those who are in the same stream, kill them all, don’t leave any aftermath.”
“Yes!”
The guards from the Hall of Justice hurriedly went away.
They were still holding the pills given by Ying Zidian, which could save their lives in critical moments.
“Fu Yunshen!” The second elder, even if he was stupid, reacted, and he screamed miserably, “You’re actually Shadow!”
The Shadow Seat of the Hall of Justice would actually be an outsider.
“How clever, guessed it right.” Fu Yun Shen bowed his head and smiled lightly, “Unfortunately, it’s too late.”
With a slight force in his hand, he crushed the Second Elder’s throat bone.
He then stepped on the bone and left, his back cold.
Outside.
Ying Ziji settled a few teams of guards and also headed inside, meeting the few remaining elders.
She lifted her eyes and moved her wrists, “You guys, single combat or group fight?”
With a single word, the faces of several elders sank.
“Ying Zidian, don’t be arrogant!” The Third Elder sneered, “You’ve only just entered Ancient Martial Arts Grandmaster, but I’ve been in Ancient Martial Arts Grandmaster for decades, you want to fight me? There’s no way!”
“Cheng Yuan and Fu Yun Shen have killed so many people in my Xie family, today I will kill you first and make them regret it for the rest of their lives!”
“Just you guys, you still want to destroy our Xie Family, you don’t even look at how much weight you have.”
The Third Elder’s thoughts were simple.
It turned out that males were more suitable for cultivating ancient martial arts, a woman, how much stronger could she be?
What an arrogant thing to do.
The Third Elder shouted angrily and instantly launched an attack, “Die!”
However, Ying Zidian didn’t even dodge.
She raised her hand and gave a light palm to the Third Elder.
“Boom!”
There was an explosive sound, and a huge impact came.
In full view of everyone, the Third Elder flew out like a cannonball, and his ribs broke four or five times in this instant, the pain was unbearable.
Not good!
Ying Zidian’s ancient martial arts cultivation was actually above his.
The Third Elder’s expression changed greatly, and resisting the urge to vomit blood, he gritted his teeth and turned around to flee.
But in the next second, the girl had already appeared in front of him with great speed, and lifted him up with ease.
Ying Ziji lowered her eyes, “Who told you that I had only just entered Ancient Martial Arts Grandmaster?”
The Third Elder’s eyes widened, and before he could ponder the meaning of the words, his head tilted and he was lifeless.
Ying Ziji casually threw the Third Elder to the ground and stepped forward again.
This time, the other elders were all scared.
The Third Elder was the highest cultivated among them, even the Third Elder was killed so easily, how could they still live?
Several elders shivered and began to kowtow frantically, “Spare my life! Miss Ying, have mercy!”
The seventh elder was even more scared out of his wits: “Miss Ying, spare my life, it was all Xie Huanran’s idea, I didn’t kill many people, let me go, let me go!”
“Spare you?” Ying Zidian stepped closer, her expression indifferent, “You didn’t spare the Liu family ten years ago, and you didn’t spare the others earlier, spare you?”
She whispered, “What a good dream.”
Screams followed one after another, and at the end of the day, it all came back to a calm.
In a matter of hours, the Xie family’s blood flowed into a river.
All the Xie family members who had the lives of innocent people on their hands had paid back today.
They did not expect it in any way
The guards from the Hall of Justice were arranging for the others to go out.
“Shadow Throne, although these people are in the Xie Family, they have not done anything to harm Heaven and Earth, and have opposed many decisions.” The right guardian clasped his fist, respectfully, “We have arranged for another place to go, where they can continue their lives.”
“The elderly women and children, too, have all been settled.”
“Another one hundred and seventy women were rescued, some of them were mentally ravaged, we decided to send them to the Heavenly Doctor’s Gate and ask the ancient medicine of the Heavenly Doctor’s Gate to heal them with the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate.”
The Xie family had really done too many sins.
This time it was because of Xie Huanran’s absence that they were able to successfully invade the Xie family.
When the sins were completely revealed, it made people’s hearts jump.
The Xie family did deserve to die.
Fu Yunshen nodded: “Good.”
Cheng Yuan frowned, “You still let people go? Just kill them all together.”
“This is the difference between us and the Xie family.” Fu Yunshen held Ying Zidian’s hand, faintly, “We won’t kill innocent people indiscriminately, if people like this always kill people, will there be anyone in the ancient martial arts world in the future?”
Cheng Yuan inevitably felt admiration, “Duke Fu’s state of mind is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.”
Ancient martial cultivation also depended on the state of mind.
No wonder Fu Yunshen’s cultivation speed was so fast, because he had no distractions in his mind.
Although he was burdened with hatred, he never let it cloud his eyes.
“Hm.” Ying Ziji wiped the blood from his face and raised his head to look at the sky half dyed red by the waning sun, “From today onwards, in the Ancient Martial World, there will no longer be a Xie family.”
On May 25th, 2022, the Xie Family, the number one family in the Ancient Martial World, was extinguished.
**
In less than an hour’s time, the news of the Xie Family’s extermination spread throughout the entire Ancient Martial World.
The Hall of Justice and the Martial Alliance had joined forces this time, shocking all the major clans.
That was the Xie Family!
It was exterminated just like that.
The Lin family’s side naturally received the first news, and Lin Jinyun was so shocked that he broke the teacup in his hand, and his body couldn’t help but tremble, “They’re crazy!”
Not only was Xie Nian dead now, but even the Xie family had been exterminated.
Wouldn’t Xie Huanran go crazy if he came out of seclusion after seeing this?
“Jin Yun, this is a good thing.” The Lin family’s eldest elder held the Buddha beads, “With the Xie family destroyed, it leaves us and the Yue family, and Xie Huanran won’t retaliate against us yet.”
After Lin Jin Yun was shocked, he also responded, “Not bad, it does leave us and the Yue family to reap the benefits.”
He paused and then asked, “Where are these people from the Hall of Justice and the Martial Alliance?”
“Your family head, they are on their way out of the Ancient Martial Realm.” The steward was respectful, “I think they are also afraid that Xie Huanran will retaliate in a big way after he comes out and hurt the innocent, repeating the mistakes of the Liu family.”
Lin Jin Yun nodded slightly, “Let’s watch this matter.”
The Lin family and the Yue family were the biggest winners in this turn of events.
**
This way.
The entrance to the Ancient Martial World.
Ying Zigui and Fu Yunshen arranged for the rest of the Justice Hall and the Martial Alliance to go out.
Of course, there were quite a few people who chose to stay.
Shao Yun had been waiting at the entrance to the Ancient Martial Realm for three days and three nights when he finally saw the door open once again.
He was so energised that he immediately rushed through, but hundreds of people fishtailed out of the door.
But until the last person came out, Shao Yun did not see Fu Yun Shen.
He immediately stepped forward and grabbed the Grand Elder’s hand, “Where is Xiao Qi, where is he?!”
The Grand Elder’s expression suddenly changed.
His cultivation level was not low, and he had the first two hundred years of his life, but this man in front of him was able to block him.
The Grand Elder had never met Shao Yun, but that did not stop him from seeing the resemblance between Shao Yun and Fu Yunshen.
“Sorry, the Shadow Throne has orders, no one can disobey them.” The Grand Elder gathered his inner energy and pushed a backhanded palm at Shao Yun, followed by a stern voice, “Close the channel!”
“Boom!”
The pa*sage opening closed once more.
Shao Yun’s expression was ice-cold, with killing intent in his eyes, “You!”
The pa*sage opening of the Ancient Martial World was similar to the gate of the World City, except that it was not as harsh in time and space.
But indeed, without the key, there was no way to enter.
“This gentleman, I don’t know exactly what the relationship between you and Yun Shen is.” The Grand Elder did not panic and took a deep breath, “This is his decision, please stay out of it.”
Shaoyun’s hand stiffened and loosened.
He didn’t expect that he was facing the loss of his and Fu Liu Ying’s only child this time out.
The head guard pondered for a moment, “Grand Master, let’s get help and go to the Sage House to find someone, that ancient martial artist may be strong, but he is definitely not as strong as the Sage Lords.”
Twenty-two sages, that was truly a god-like existence.
“That being said, what do you know about which sages’ special abilities are related to the force?” Shao Yun spoke coldly, “The Sage Magician, who is a medicine refiner, doesn’t stand out in terms of force value.”
As for the Sage Empress, she had already been ruled out by him.
And the other Magi, let alone them, probably even the Magus Queen herself could not be found.
The Chief of Guards had nothing more to say.
All twenty-two Sages had special abilities, but not all of them were attack-type special abilities.
The Sage Magician, for example, who had established the Institute, was not only less forceful, but also physically weaker than the other Sages due to the refinement of medicine.
Of course, it was still stronger than their mortal bodies.
Shao Yun’s expression was cold and solemn as he handed a ruby short sword to the head guard: “Take my token and quickly contact the commander of the Sceptre Knights and ask him to come immediately.”
The chief guard changed his expression: “Your Excellency, this ……”
“My mind is made up.” Shao Yun interrupted, “Don’t say anything else, go now.”
He had already lost Fu Liu Ying, he absolutely could not lose Fu Yun Shen again.
Even if the price was his own life.
The chief guard gripped the short sword tightly and could only respond, going to contact the Commander of the Scepter Knights.
**
I don’t know how long had pa*sed.
Somewhere in the Ancient Martial World.
It was a desert where people were rare.
Everything was terribly silent.
Only a few white-tailed ground crows occasionally rested on the cactus, emitting a few chirps.
But suddenly, an extremely powerful aura fluctuation rose up to the sky.
The vibration was so great that even the ground shook.
The surrounding animals seemed to sense something and ran away in panic.
“Hahahahaha, the old man has been cultivating for over a hundred years and has finally achieved great success today!” A deafening laugh rang out, “Let me see if something interesting has happened in this ancient martial world during my absence.”
“Swish!”
Between heaven and earth, there was an additional figure.
Chapter 674
The figure seems to be at one with heaven and earth.
It was indistinct and unlike the mortal world.
“Hahahahahahahaha!”
The laughter rang out once again, arrogant to the extreme.
With an unbearable arrogance, it resounded through heaven and earth.
“Heaven has helped me, truly heaven has helped me!”
Xie Huanran felt the changes in his body and was pleasantly surprised.
These three months had not been in vain as he had hit the bottleneck time and time again, almost exhausting his body’s essence.
But no matter what, he had finally broken through.
Since he had created his unique ancient martial arts secrets over a hundred years ago and cultivated for so long, he had finally succeeded today.
As an ancient martial artist, he had achieved great success in the cultivation of inner strength.
Moreover, his state of mind has also become a great success.
Now, Xie Huanran has finally reached the realm of returning to his true self, where his qi can be collected and released freely.
As long as he collected his aura, no one would know that he was an ancient martial artist.
It turned out that this was the highest level of an ancient martial artist.
This time, the Ancient Martial World would be completely and utterly under the Xie Family’s domain!
No one would be able to stop him.
Three months wasn’t too long, and there shouldn’t be any major disturbances in the Ancient Martial World either.
Xie Huanran stroked his beard with a smile on his face, “Let’s go see Nian Nian first.”
In the next second, his entire body had already arrived a mile away.
Xie Huanran was indeed careful and did not tell anyone where he was in retreat.
And the place where he was in seclusion was far away from the Xie family.
The Ancient Martial World was large, and with his current Ancient Martial cultivation level, it took him half a day to return to the Xie Family.
From afar, Xie Huanran was already laughing out loud, “Nian Nian, Nian Nian, the old ancestor is back, and has brought you some good medicinal herbs, come out quickly out-”
The words were suddenly frozen in death.
The strong smell of blood and rottenness lingered between his nostrils and his eyes were reflected in a bloodstained hue.
The Hall of Justice and the Martial Alliance had finished packing up the elders and ancestors of the Xie family, and had been kind enough to stack the bodies.
The days had pa*sed and the weather was hot, and already many more crows and eagles had come seeking the scent.
It was gruesome and shocking to the eye.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaa!” Xie Huanran was furious and roared up to the sky, “Who, who slaughtered my Xie family?!”
Who dared to strike at the Xie family while he was in seclusion!
With the Xie family in such a state, did Xie Nian still have a chance to live?
Xie Huanran was completely unable to contain his anger and immediately swept out in a storm, arriving at the city where the Lin family was located.
“Lin Wuliang! Was it you! Did you slaughter my Xie family!”
This roar directly shook Lin Jinyun to the ground, instantly bleeding from his seven orifices.
“Xie, Xie Huanran!”
Although Lin Jinyun was less than an Ancient Martial Arts Grandmaster, he was able to tell who was the one with such terrifying strength.
He spoke with difficulty, “Senior Huan, Huanran, no, not the old ancestor, it’s the Hall of Justice and the Martial Alliance!”
“Xie Huanran, what do you want?” The startled Lin Wuliang was also furious, “When did my Lin family lay hands on your Xie family, and cover my Lin family’s head with other people’s affairs?”
Xie Huanran didn’t care about him and grabbed Lin Jinyun with one hand: “What about Nian Nian, who killed Nian Nian?!”
Lin Jinyun opened his mouth, “Ying, Ying Zidian, she was a dual practitioner of ancient medicine and ancient martial arts.”
“Boom!”
Lin Jinyun was still on the ground, Xie Huanran had already left in the dust.
Lin Jinyun looked up shakily, “Old, old ancestor.”
Lin Wuliang also sucked in a breath backwards, “This Xie Huanran, a great completion of internal energy!”
Who in the ancient martial world could still stop it?
**
On the other side.
Fu Yunshen’s hand was holding the weapons that Yu Shaoyun had thrown in, “Yao Yao, is it possible to penetrate Xie Huanran’s internal energy protection?”
“It can penetrate, but it can’t kill.” Ying shook her head slightly, “Only nuclear and hydrogen bombs can harm him, and they must also be placed less than half a metre away from him.”
“Moreover, it must be detonated instantly.”
An ancient martial artist who was able to step into that level of Wind Cultivation was not something that could be injured by thermal weapons.
The potential of humans was infinite.
But of course, it was impossible to defy the theorem of nature, to have any talk of ascending into immortality.
Fu Yunshen’s eyes deepened.
It was indeed tricky.
“Senior sister, Duke Fu, don’t worry.” Cheng Yuan clenched his fist, “This time, even if I have to fight to the death, I will definitely drag Xie Huanran to hell.”
Otherwise, it would affect the entire ancient martial arts community.
“Moreover, Xie Huanran may not be -”
Before Cheng Yuan could finish his words, a loud sound suddenly fell, like a thunderclap exploding in his ears.
“Boom!”
Also at the same time, a figure descended from the sky like a cannonball, landing directly on the ground and blocking the path of several people.
The only person who could remain undetected under Cheng Yuan’s nose was-
Xie, Huanran, Ran!
Xie Huanran’s expression was grim, his gaze like a blade.
Cheng Yuan’s hand subconsciously blocked in front of Ying Ziji and Fu Yunshen, his face gradually sank, and his eyes became more shocked: “No good, he has really become a master of cultivation.”
Returning to the basics is a realm that all ancient martial artists pursue.
In the five hundred years of history of the ancient martial arts world, only one person, Feng Xiu, had reached it.
And now, there was one more Xie Huanran.
“Hmph, Cheng Yuan.” Xie Huanran glanced at Cheng Yuan and laughed disdainfully, “If it was in the past, it would take me some effort to kill you, but now-”
He flung his sleeve, and his mighty pressure came out at once.
Cheng Yuan’s body trembled and his scalp also tingled for a moment.
He gritted his teeth, and the taste of blood was already spilling out of his throat.
This was the intimidating pressure of a peak ancient martial artist!
Xie Huanran, however, no longer looked at him, his gaze instantly locking onto the girl, his mighty pressure even greater: “It was you, who killed Nian Nian!”
The moment he learned that Xie Nian had died, Xie Huanran’s heart trembled.
The offspring he had so lovingly nurtured was gone.
Everyone deserved to die, they should all be buried with Xie Nian!
Ying Zigui was unusually calm, his back not bending in any way: “It’s me.”
It was as if the pressure was no longer strong enough to make the girl lower her head.
Xie Huanran was a little surprised and simply withdrew his mighty pressure.
“Not bad, really not bad.” He spoke indifferently with his hands behind his back, “You were smart enough to even have the Justice Hall, the Ling Family and the Martial Alliance, who were all involved in this matter, move away, but you think you’ve achieved a foolproof solution?”
“I, Xie Huanran, never need a reason to kill! I will slaughter everyone in this ancient martial world!”
Xie Huanran laughed loudly, “Even if I were to get angry at the Yue and Lin families today, what could they say?”
Ying Zidian’s eyes were instantly cold.
From the moment she decided to kill Xie Nian, she had no intention of living unharmed.
How could she stand by and watch the people around her being coerced.
“But so be it, people can’t come back to life after death.” Xie Huanran said, suddenly sighing, “Even if I kill more people, there’s no way for Nian Nian to come back.”
Cheng Yuan swallowed the fishy sweetness in his throat, “Xie Huanran, you need not beat around the bush.”
Xie Huanran was narrow-minded, how could he possibly spare them?
“Of course, it is impossible for this old man to swallow his anger, so I will give you a chance.” Xie Huanran glanced at the girl indifferently, “Today, you cut yourself here, and I will make a blood oath to the heavens, everyone else, I will not touch.”
Ying Zidian raised her eyes, her voice faint: “Blood oath?”
A blood oath is the highest ranking oath in the oath-making process, and the oath is written in one’s own blood.
If one broke the blood oath, the sinful power that would be returned would be even greater.
“Not bad, it’s a blood oath, I’m an ancient martial artist, I take oaths very seriously, you can completely rest a*sured that I will definitely not break it.” Xie Huanran smiled, his smile suddenly withdrew, cold and hostile to the extreme, “If you don’t agree, I will kill everyone in the Ancient Martial World today, in front of you, all of them!”
Cheng Yuan’s gaze was gloomy, “Xie Huanran, you are foolish to talk about dreams!”
“Cheng Yuan, you are the one who is foolishly talking about dreams.” Xie Huanran was not angry, instead he smiled, “It’s just that today, I’ll start with you, Cheng Yuan!”
In an instant, his internal energy burst out, heading straight for Cheng Yuan.
Xie Huanran coldly, “You slaughtered my Xie family, the Martial Arts Alliance, I want them all to disintegrate!”
**
And at this time, a place far away from the headquarters of the Hall of Justice.
The top of the snowy mountain in the Ancient Martial World.
The height of this snowy mountain was not part of Mount Everest, with a height of nine thousand meters, it was truly off the beaten track.
And because the surrounding environment was extremely harsh, even expedition teams would not step into this place.
Neither Cheng Yuan nor Xie Huanran had the ability to climb this snowy mountain.
At the cliff, however, there was an old man sitting there, stolidly still.
The snow had fallen in many layers on him, almost covering him completely.
But at that very moment, the old man’s body moved and the snow that lay on him rustled off.
He slowly opened his eyes and was slightly surprised: “What strong internal energy fluctuations.”
Feng Xiu himself did not even know exactly how long he had been sleeping.
If not for this internal energy, he was afraid that he would still be sleeping at the top of this snowy mountain.
After so many years, someone in the ancient martial world had finally reached the same realm as him?
Feng Xiu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked to a place and had already judged who the owner of the internal energy was: “Xie Huanran!”
