Have you ever seen a sword technique that descends from the heavens?
On this day.
The vast Shisu Town, countless people witnessed with their own eyes.
Inside the city or outside, countless people were dumbfounded, staring at the black dust dragon soaring against the rain, unable to return to their senses for a long time.
A generation of the Royal Family has been completely annihilated.
Outside the city.
Hundreds of people in this torrential rain, watching the overwhelming black smoke, were collectively stunned.
The terrifying news from within the city had spread throughout the entire region. The Cao Royal Clan, the leading local family, was reduced to ruins by a single sword; the luxurious and magnificent mansion, only remnants of broken walls remained.
The old Family Head, Cao Guang, faced the sword directly, ultimately pierced through the chest, pinned obliquely to the ground, and met his end.
Without this pivotal figure, how could the others still have any strength to fight back?
"My God, is the Cao Royal Clan really destroyed?"
"Absolutely true! The power of that sword, even if it is our Shisu Town's great royal family, is irresistible, only resigned to fate and bitterness."
Discussions like mountains and seas roared, the clamor was overwhelming.
Unable to settle for a long time.
If it weren't a fact right before their eyes, who would believe this scene? Just one sword, yet it destroyed a great royal family.
What kind of shocking force is this?
"This..."
On horseback, Cao Jing's face was ashen, nearly falling headfirst from the saddle, his entire body chilled to the bone.
He was completely stunned, his thoughts crumbling, his mind blank.
Truly destroyed?
Destroyed...
I thought it was just an offhand boast from the other party, but the result...
All the other Cao family members were silent as cicadas in cold weather.
After a long while, Cao Jing seemed mad, his eyes bloodshot, shouting with all his might, "You deserve to die!!"
"Even if it costs the entire Cao Royal Clan, just to witness your death with my own eyes, it's enough!"
To Cao Jing, that move just now was after all Chen Yang's trump card, and the middle-aged man standing before him seemed not mortal. Having revealed his trump card early, it was only a matter of waiting for death.
"Trash, you won't live today! After you die, even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I'll find all connected to you and kill them one by one."
Cao Jing vented his rage recklessly, his voice sharp and extremely unpleasant to the ear.
With these words, the atmosphere on the scene became stagnant, and pairs of eyes focused on Li Yuanshan.
After all, it was initially the conflict between Li Yuansheng and Chen Yang, and Cao Jing forcibly inserted himself later.
With the destruction of the Cao Royal Clan, should their battle also begin?
Many realized that a world-shaking battle might occur, and fearing involvement, they retreated in succession.
Soon, a large area in the center was cleared.
Clap, clap.
Suddenly, Li Yuanshan clapped, slightly turned, watching Chen Yang with interest, "I heard that just a few days ago, you were only in the Heavenly Saint Realm, such cultivation speed is truly astonishing."
"Could it be, when trapped in Northern Mountain, you broke through in desperation? No, there must be some fortuitous encounter, otherwise, it wouldn't be possible so fast."
Sitting on horseback, Li Yuanshan analyzed on his own, "This means, the people in Northern Mountain were all slaughtered by you?"
"No, that's not right."
After speaking confidently, Li Yuanshan shook his head, "If that were the case, then who killed Gu Zhong?"
"Why are you so sure Gu Zhong's death is related to me?" Chen Yang extended a hand and casually caught the returning Ancestral Sword.
"That's simple."
Li Yuanshan shrugged, "Although Biluo Sword Valley has expansion ambitions these years, it only bullies those weaker, never provoking major forces, so naturally, no one would kill Gu Zhong for no reason, that's one."
"Secondly, Biluo Sword Valley intended to annex Red Lotus Valley early on, and you, having a close relationship with Red Lotus Valley, publicly stated the remnants were with you, protecting them."
"Yet, Biluo Sword Valley persisted, so to completely resolve this conflict, making Red Lotus Valley sleep soundly hereafter, you'd have to annihilate Biluo Sword Valley."
"Returning to Gu Zhong's death, the person who acted possesses the strength to destroy the entire Biluo Sword Valley, yet only targeted and removed Gu Zhong, that is, the strongest one."
"This indicates the person is clearing obstacles for you, taking the opportunity to let you practice, meaning Biluo Sword Valley had long been your whetstone."
At this point, Li Yuanshan laughed, "Now, what have you to argue about?"
Chen Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, becoming increasingly wary of this middle-aged man with a deep and unfathomable prowess.
With just a few simple points, he deduced the whole scenario without error.
After a moment, Chen Yang said motionlessly, "As a Dao Sect member, coming here, is it just for these trivial matters?"
The implication being, if there's a motive, just speak directly.
"A mysterious top expert suddenly appearing, how could that be a trivial matter?" Li Yuanshan's gaze was like a torch, and seemed to smile with amusement, "If some things aren't clarified, who knows what kind of problems might arise."
Chen Yang remained silent.
This Dao Sect person in front of him made him feel increasingly terrified and even horrified.
This kind of person always had a cheerful smile, but is actually deeply hidden.
Until the moment of life and death, no one knows how strong he truly is.
"What's wrong with you? Since you want to fight, why not strike swiftly, going on endlessly, you're really something!"
Seeing Li Yuanshan not taking action, someone from the Cao Royal Clan couldn't help but urge.
Li Yuanshan ignored it.
The young man who spoke pointed out with a sweeping gesture, his tone turned colder, "Why not act quickly then?!"
This couldn't wait for even a moment.
"Your Cao Royal Clan is already destroyed, yet you still dare to jump around here?" Li Yuanshan turned around and smiled.
Crowd: "..."
"Even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, how could the lingering power of my Cao Royal Clan be something ordinary people can withstand?"
"Heh heh..."
Li Yuanshan laughed, shook his head, "Acting tough in front of me?"
Next second.
Li Yuanshan's smile remained, only his five fingers spread open, slapping down.
The young Cao on horseback, once ordering around, was instantly killed with his horse, not even having time for blood to splatter.
Hiss!
Cao Jing: "..."
Crowd: "..."
Just, just killed like that?
"You, you..."
Cao Jing's heart was twisted tight, what is happening?
"Boy, relax, I just appreciate you more."
Li Yuanshan smiled at Chen Yang, left this message, and rode away, saying blandly as he approached Cao Jing, "Just now, you were teaching me how to do things?"
"Who do you think you are?"
Cao Jing: "..."
"I, Li Yuanshan, as a Steward of the Dao Sect, who are you to point fingers here?"
Dao, Dao Sect?!
Suddenly, Cao Jing nearly suffocated to death.
"..."
