However, I had to admit that the Leader was indeed a master, an elder figure with sharp insight; he almost immediately spotted the fatal weakness in me!
That's right, my strength couldn't sustain a prolonged battle, and my lifespan was limited. The time I could hold on was far too short!
At that moment, I let out a long howl, brandishing the Azure Dark Sword, channeling all my Killing Intent into a single strike aimed at those masters!
Killing Intent surged forth from the blade like a blood sea, wave after wave, completely engulfing the courtyard in Crimson Killing Intent.
"Combine your efforts to block it!"
The Leader shouted, and ten masters struck simultaneously. A torrent of Daoist Spiritual Energy swept toward me, colliding violently with my Killing Intent in the space between us!
Boom!
The energy rampaged uncontrollably; the corpses on the ground were instantly shredded into pieces. A rain of blood and wind swirled around as the Azure Stone Slab beneath us exploded into dust in an instant.
Such a collision was bound to be astonishing!
It was at this moment that I finally understood the benefits of an unending Killing Intent. Even when the ten masters combined their power for a strike, I still overpowered them. In the instant the explosion subsided, they all spat out black blood and staggered backward. Some of them fell over like rolling gourds, and when they regained their footing, fear was evident in their eyes as they looked at me.
Among them, one master seemed almost deranged, muttering repeatedly: "Old Man Xia, it's Old Man Xia who has returned! Who could stand against them when that witch didn’t come out back then?"
My grandfather?
Ha! My grandfather had been dead for a long time. I never expected that even now these masters would be so fearful, thinking it was my grandfather who had come back to thrash them.
But what use do these country bumpkins have for my grandfather?
As a descendant of the Xia Family, I am enough to make them wail in despair!
In that moment, I drew my sword and laughed maniacally as I charged toward them!
No matter what, today would be exhilarating!
As a young man, accompanied by a few friends, I had single-handedly taken down the upper echelons of the Sun and Moon Alliance. I fought against eleven masters, killing one and driving back ten. Such achievements were enough to make me look down upon all others and ensure my name echoed in every corner of our profession!
"Kill!"
I roared, my aggression burning like fire!
Meanwhile, the Leader was pushing several masters back, clearly anxious. With bloodshot eyes and tattered clothes, he shouted, "Wake up! All of you, wake the hell up!! Where is Old Man Xia? That old man has been dead for a long time!!! What stands before you now is merely a descendant of the Xia Family, the last bloodline of the Xia Family. If we eliminate this brat, the Xia Family will be completely eradicated! He has brought his crimes to us; this is our best chance to take him out. Once he is gone, we will no longer have to worry about the rise of anyone from the Xia Family. The dark era ruled by the Xia Family will never return!!!"
At that moment, the Leader even slapped a few masters across their faces hard enough to wake them up.
By this time, I had nearly chased them to the end of the courtyard.
"You few control the Mountain Protection Barrier; I'll hold this brat off!"
The Leader shouted and forcefully pushed one of the Nine Masters back. He then turned and charged at me, finally revealing his weapon—a soft sword wrapped around his waist like a belt. At first glance, it looked like just an ordinary belt, but with a flick of his wrist, he drew the soft sword from his waist. The leather covering it was torn into shreds with a loud "whoosh." He stomped on the ground and leaped toward me, his Daoist robe fluttering in the wind and his hair coming undone, exuding an aura of sharpness!
Here it comes!
I silently roared in my heart, without a second thought, I charged forward with my sword raised, directly swinging it at the Leader!
The Leader was quite formidable. Seeing my long sword coming at him, he immediately summoned his Daoist Spiritual Energy and met me head-on.
Clang!
His soft sword instantly coiled around my blade, and his Daoist Spiritual Energy collided directly with my Killing Intent. The energy surged wildly, and a fierce wind swept across my face!
This was our direct clash, and I could feel the true essence of the Leader's Daoist Practice.
He was merely at the initial stage of the Ninth Stage!
When I joined the Sun and Moon Alliance, I had already heard that the Leader of the Sun and Moon Alliance was a well-known master!
A well-known master—how could he possibly stagnate after entering the Ninth Stage? Merely at the initial stage?
It was likely that when he first broke through to master, he must have done something unethical!
I had long heard that the Taoist Sect emphasized harmony and primarily focused on the natural way. Therefore, during cultivation, they usually aimed to break through with a calm mind, avoiding actions that would harm others or entangle themselves in karma. If someone relied on harming others to gain wealth, their breakthrough might be swift, but once they achieved it, their mindset would be corrupted, causing their realm to stagnate!
Suddenly, it dawned on me. No wonder as I ascended higher, this Leader became restless; the reason lay here. In his youth, he had committed unethical acts and used underhanded means to reach his current state. However, he had no strength left to advance further.
He needed to suppress the growth of those who could threaten his position with all his might!
He was not afraid of others' greed; in fact, he preferred people like Dong Ba. With a mutual exchange of benefits, he could leisurely practice Tai Chi while preserving his status. However, he feared the rise of young talents and individuals with ideals!
Zhengyang was thriving because he was close to him, and that did not concern him.
But I am from the Xia Family. My ancestors had once overpowered him. If I were to rise again, he could very well perish, so he had to eliminate me!
Realizing this, my anger burned fiercely. Just as his soft sword entangled my blade, I exerted force through my arms and swung the Azure Dark Sword down hard towards the ground, dragging the Leader with it. He was already in mid-air, lacking balance; with such a swing of my sword, how could he maintain his equilibrium? He crashed to the ground, causing the earth to tremble, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!
This was my chance!
Seeing him fall, I stepped forward and lifted my foot to kick at his head. Channeling Dragon Power, this kick would surely crush his skull!
The Leader was startled and dared not engage with me any longer. With a flick of his hand, the soft sword that had entangled my Azure Dark Sword slipped away, rolling aside as he hurriedly dodged my kick!
I had limited time; there was no way I would let him escape so easily! Today, I would burn my last lifespan in a battle against the Sun and Moon Alliance. If I could not bring down their Leader, then all my efforts would be meaningless!
I didn’t care if I died; from that moment of Frenzy, my fate was already sealed. But today, none of the high-ranking members of the Sun and Moon Alliance would leave unscathed!
With that thought in mind, I charged towards the Leader again, raising my blade for a fierce attack.
At that moment, he had just gotten back on his feet. There was no place for him to escape; he could only brace himself for battle. Infusing Daoist Spiritual Energy into his soft sword, it instantly straightened out and became enveloped by solidified Daoist Spiritual Energy, blocking my descending strike!
Boom!
Killing Intent engulfed his Spiritual Energy, and he was like a kite with a broken string, blasted away by the energy we released upon collision. His Daoist Robe was tattered, his skin torn and bloody, looking utterly tragic.
"Kill!"
I let out another furious roar, sticking to the Leader like gum, chasing him down. This man, who appeared righteous but hid a dagger behind his smile, was one of the masterminds behind this conspiracy to frame me. I would not let him off the hook. However, after suffering a significant loss in our first encounter, he no longer dared to confront me head-on and began to evade.
Without a doubt, his actions were merely a ploy to buy time.
Yet, I had no intention of letting my temper flare; I could only unleash a storm of attacks upon him. Throughout the courtyard, Killing Intent surged, everywhere marked by the traces of our colliding Daoist Spiritual Energies. In the blink of an eye, we had exchanged blows over a hundred times, and he was fleeing like a dog.
In truth, I had considered taking out the Nine Masters first. They were positioned in each corner of the courtyard, continuously forming seals, clearly preparing for a lethal strike. Unfortunately, every time I attempted to strike, the Leader would stick to me like a stubborn plaster, blocking my moves. After several failed ambushes, I decided to focus all my attention on the Leader.
Finally, after nearly ten minutes of relentless pursuit, the Leader's stamina reached its limit; he could no longer run. Seizing the opportunity, I swung my blade. In an instant, he was engulfed by Crimson Killing Intent. My sword severed his right arm cleanly; clutching his wound and screaming in agony as blood gushed forth, he collapsed to the ground, convulsing in a display of utter despair and tragedy.
"Hahahahaha!"
I couldn't help but throw my head back and laugh wildly—angry, sorrowful, and frenzied—as I prepared to finish him off with my long blade.
Just then, the courtyard suddenly trembled with a resounding rumble.
No, more accurately—the ground was shaking!
The air suddenly became thick, as if it had turned into glue, clinging to my skin and pressing down on me. In such an environment, even my movements felt sluggish.
Instinctively, I looked up at the Mountain Protection Barrier that enveloped the courtyard and noticed that a light blue vortex had formed where it aimed at me. Terrifying energy was brewing within it, sending chills down my spine!
“Supreme Purification Formation, activate!”
Beside me, a master sitting cross-legged on the ground shouted, “You wicked being, it’s time for your reckoning!”
Upon seeing this scene, Leader suddenly burst into sharp laughter. “You think you can escape? Once the Supreme Purification Formation is activated, there’s no way out for you! This formation was personally arranged by Zhang Daoling, Ancestor Master. You have no chance!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderous roar echoed above me as the vortex unleashed a terrifying surge of energy!
A light blue beam shot down directly towards me, entirely composed of Daoist Spiritual Energy.
At that moment, I was squeezed by the air and could hardly move; there was no way to dodge it—I could only brace myself!
“Roar!”
I threw my head back and howled, raising my Hundred Slicing Blade. My entire being erupted with Killing Intent, coalescing into a massive blood-red long knife that met the light blue beam head-on. The moment of impact seemed to tear the very fabric of space apart as the dreadful energy rampaged.
I could only pour all my Killing Intent into the fight!
Time trickled away, and I felt my output of Killing Intent increasing. It was then that I sensed my physical strength waning; my consciousness began to fade, leaving me in a daze.
Had I exhausted the power gained from sacrificing my Lifespan?
I found that my hair had begun to grow rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it had already fallen to my shoulders. The cascading strands were all a dazzling white.
The White Hair of Three Thousand danced wildly in the Energy Storm.
"Finally, is this the end of life?"
I gazed at the swirling white hair, smiling gently. When a person's life is excessively drained and reaches its end, there is often a moment of brilliance before the conclusion, nourishing the hair and causing it to grow swiftly. However, this glaring white hair also told me that I had exhausted my vitality and reached my limit.
Everything had come to an end!
I turned to glance at the Leader, filled with hatred. As I raised my blade to resist the pale blue beam of light, I shouted, "I refuse to accept this!"
"Sigh, as expected, this scene has unfolded."
Suddenly, a soft sigh echoed from the courtyard. It was faint, yet I heard it clearly!
I froze for a moment and turned to see Furball walking towards me with a smile on his face. The expression he wore carried a hint of relief.
