Chapter 1253: Chapter 1095: Slay_2

“Understood, once father breaks through, it should be possible.”

Li Chengsheng didn’t comment, aware of his father’s immense strength, yet he acted indifferent because he didn’t believe that the Li family would gain much power from Li Zhirui alone.

Li Chengshuo saw this and decided not to argue further, thinking it would be evident at the time, so not wanting to waste words here.

“Brother, aren’t you going back? It’s almost sunrise!”

Li Chengsheng bid farewell and then transformed into a beam of light, disappearing from sight.

…

Li Zhixuan’s sudden appearance elevated the Li family to a scattered immortal force, and it remains a hot topic of discussion among loose cultivators.

People are curious about her identity, origins, strength, and so on.

“Excuse me, how do I get to Mount Wanxian’s Li family?”

In an Immortal City in Shanhai State, an unkempt old Taoist suddenly appeared, casually asking a cultivator for directions.

“Head out from the north gate, travel beyond a thousand miles, and you’ll reach the Li family’s territory.” After the cultivator spoke, he curiously asked, “Senior, what are you planning to do?”

“Just handling a small matter.”

In an instant, the old Taoist seemed to disappear, leaving the cultivator dazed, almost thinking he had imagined the whole encounter.

The old Taoist soon appeared outside Mount Wanxian. Looking at the majestic, spiritually rich mountain, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself, “Such a good Spirit Land wasted on a worthless family, squandering this place!”

“And the wealth the Li family accumulated over the years…”

After all, the mission only required the slaying of the individual immortal Li Zhixuan to mark it complete. With the scattered immortals protecting the Li family fallen, who else would have the power to resist? By then, wouldn’t everything be his for the taking?

“Hehehe!”

The old Taoist let out an uncomfortable laugh, donned a black veil hat to conceal his identity, and charged toward Mount Wanxian without hesitation.

As he moved, his cultivation was revealed: he was also a scattered immortal!

Rumble—

A massive explosion sounded. The Great Zhou Heavenly Star Dou Array designed and arranged by Jiang Fengwu, though incomplete, utilized the accumulated stellar power over the years to withstand the old Taoist’s strike.

Dong dong dong—

Suddenly, an urgent bell tolled on Mount Wanxian, signaling to all family members that there was truly an external enemy invasion!

“Damn it! The Li family has always been amicable, but that doesn’t mean we lack power. How dare they storm our gates!”

Li Taichang’s face turned ashen, broadcasting his voice throughout the family via magical treasure, “Just a reckless old beast, definitely no match for Ancestor Xuan!”

“Hahaha, I’ve heard she only recently broke through, probably hasn’t even supplemented her Laws? Nothing but an incomplete individual immortal, yet she gives you such confidence?”

The old Taoist laughed eerily, his voice cold and greedy, “But I really didn’t expect that a mere Mahayana family could have a Mountain Protection Array capable of withstanding a scattered immortal’s strike.”

Actually, it was quite fortunate that the Mountain Protection Array wasn’t shattered. Firstly, the old Taoist didn’t exert his full strength, underestimating the array’s defenses. Secondly, the array rapidly depleted the stellar power it had accumulated over the years.

“Surrender quietly, and I might consider sparing you! Otherwise…”

Before he could finish, the old Taoist shot towards the formation like an arrow leaving the string.

At this moment, an unexpected event occurred!

A black-red Sword Qi shot out, suddenly appearing in front of the old Taoist.

This strike made the old Taoist stop immediately, quickly casting a spell while deploying a defensive treasure.

The old Taoist’s reaction couldn’t be considered slow, and Li Zhixuan’s hastily dispatched Sword Qi was remarkable enough.

“You…”

Seeing Li Zhixuan not far from him, the old Taoist’s eyes revealed a hint of fear.

He had just faced that Sword Qi up close, the contained soaring Evil Qi and Killing Aura making his consciousness hazy once again.

“Die!”

Li Zhixuan attacked again upon her appearance, wielding her sword.

This strike seemed ordinary, lacking any dazzling effects, yet it made the old Taoist feel the threat of death.

Bam!

The old Taoist dared not be careless, immediately employing his most powerful defensive methods, various Spirit Light flashing, forming multiple layers in front of him.

Crack—

The Sword Qi slashed into the Spirit Light, cutting through the first few tiers like paper, breaking instantly. However, the subsequent defenses managed to stop Li Zhixuan’s strike.

Casually executed, yet filled with a decisive killing intent!

“Are you truly just a newly broken through individual immortal?!” The old Taoist shouted in disbelief.

“You sure talk a lot!”

Li Zhixuan never engaged in wasteful acts during battles. Each fight, she participated with the intent to kill her opponent.

“Ancestor Xuan is amazing!”

“So this is a Sword Cultivator? The power is astonishing, truly incredible!”

Originally summoned to resist outside invaders, the family members erupted into cheers upon witnessing Li Zhixuan’s overwhelming attack, driving the old Taoist into a desperate state.

“Still as formidable as ever!” Da Qing and others familiar with Li Zhixuan couldn’t help but comment.

“Die!”

Li Zhixuan shouted coldly, charging out like a black shadow, her speed inducing fear in the old Taoist.

“Too fast! I can’t keep up with her speed, nor can I even see her anymore…”

Li Zhixuan looked at the distracted old Taoist, furrowing her brows at the poor mental state. It already seemed on the verge of collapse.

“How did you even become an individual immortal? Your strength is truly lacking!”

Li Zhixuan shifted her steps, directly approaching the dazed old Taoist.

The distance was incredibly close, and had it not been for the pervasive Killing Aura awakening the old Taoist in time, he managed to dodge the sword strike.

Though his life wasn’t taken directly, he sensed something amiss once the sword pierced his body, “Is your sword poisoned?”

“Fool!” Li Zhixuan disdainfully scolded. As an orthodox Sword Cultivator, how could she resort to such petty means as poison?

The reason the old Taoist felt something was wrong was because this sword had killed countless beings, and the contained Evil Qi was akin to poison, perhaps even more potent!

“Argh!”

On the brink of death, the old Taoist let out a low roar, his body expanding significantly, his aura growing more violent.

“Going all out?” Li Zhixuan smirked coldly, “Too bad, it’s too late!”

If the old Taoist had activated the secret technique and escaped before the Evil Qi entered his body, he might have had a chance to survive. Who knew how many contingencies an individual immortal might have?

But he acted too late.

Li Zhixuan advanced aggressively, slashing Sword Qi at the old Taoist’s limbs before he could react.

Splat!

The left hand was severed entirely, blood spurting fiercely, though the other limbs remained, but injured.

The intense pain cleared the old Taoist’s mind, his gaze towards Li Zhixuan filled with hidden resentment and hatred amidst fear.

“Please spare me, let me live, and I’ll do anything, even sign a contract with the Li family and become your servant.”

Li Zhixuan coldly observed the old Taoist’s act, unaffected within.

“If you dare kill me, my backers will surely avenge me. The mere Li family can’t withstand us; then everyone in the Li family will be slaughtered!”

When begging failed, the old Taoist resorted to threats.

“If you truly have a powerful backing, let them come. The Li family has never feared anyone!”

Li Zhixuan struck; the old Taoist was instantly split in half, his Spiritual Soul attempting to flee but doomed by the Evil Qi.
