Chapter 73: A Sword Sweeps Across
past two days, the ten "newcomers", including Su Xin, have been keeping a low profile and slowly getting to know the ropes.Even at the dojo, there are often "old men" who come to challenge or even pro..."The Heavenly Flame Palace takes good care of its disciples," Su Xin said.
As long as one becomes a disciple of the Tianyan Palace, their family, including their relatives, will receive protection from the Tianyan Palace. Almost no one dares to provoke them.
Even if this disciple of the Heavenly Flame Palace unfortunately dies, as long as they have made contributions to the Heavenly Flame Palace, the Heavenly Flame Palace will still offer some degree of benefits to their family.
Like Chen Yin's Chen family, after the death of a senior member of the Chen family, Tianyan Palace left the Chen family with a token. With this token, they could request Tianyan Palace to help them once.
Unfortunately, the ancestor of the Chen family passed away decades ago, and the Chen family has long since fallen into ruin. Even Chen Yin doesn't know the history of the Heavenly Flame Palace. Otherwise, if she had used it well, with this command talisman, she could have completely allowed the Chen family to rise again, at least not having to rely on the Zhao family for survival like they do now.
"Chen Yin, because her family was weak, had always been neglected by the Zhao family. But this time when the Zhao family was in trouble, she used a decree to ask the Tianyan Palace for help…" Su Xin chuckled.
When he arrived, he had already obtained a great deal of information about the Zhao family and this Chen Yin from within the Chi Long Lou.
It is known that Chen Yin is not well-liked within the Zhao family.
Especially Zhao Qingshan, the head of the Zhao family, had always looked down on her and never treated her as his daughter-in-law.
Of course, all of this has nothing to do with his trust in Su Xin. All he had to do was follow the instructions on the mission and ensure the Zhao family's safety during this crisis.
Before long, a night passed.
Time has come to the seventh day.
That day, the Fire Mercenary Group arrived as scheduled.
"Zhao Laogou, return my son's life!"
A thunderous roar echoed throughout the Zhao family estate, followed by a surge of figures radiating murderous intent who stormed towards the Zhao residence.
Before the Zhao family mansion, there were also many figures rushing in.
Had they known the Tianhuo Mercenary Corps would attack, the Zhao family would have been prepared. They did not put up much resistance at their front gate.
All the strong warriors of the Zhao family gathered in a courtyard, and soon after, numerous strong warriors from the Tianhuo Mercenary Group arrived.
The Tianhuo Mercenary Corps wasn't large, numbering only about forty to fifty people. However, as mercenaries who had been venturing into the Blood Sacrifice Mountains for years, constantly facing danger and death, each member was a sharp blade. At the very least, their cultivation had reached the Sea Transformation Great Perfection stage.
And above the void, there stood a full ten figures.
"Tenth Heavenly Layer of the Void Realm!!"
The Zhao family members were all startled.
There are only three cultivators at the Void Breaking Realm in their Zhao family. Even after making every effort these days to invite several Void Breaking Realm powerhouses to help, there are only eight of them, and almost all of them are at the early stage of the Void Breaking Realm, and only one has reached the middle stage of the Void Breaking Realm.
And among these ten Tianhuo Mercenary members at the Void Breaking realm, there were a full three who had reached the mid-Void Breaking stage.
"Fortunately, we invited Mr. Jiuyun last night, or else my Zhao family would have been doomed today." Zhao Qingfeng looked at the white-robed, long-haired old man standing beside him and let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Master Xiao, don't get so angry. Why don't you sit down and have a good talk about how to solve this" The white-robed, long-haired elder, Master Jiuyun, looked at the figure swirling above, a faint smile on his face as he spoke, his voice echoing out.
"Nine Clouds"
Standing among the ten Voidbreakers in the void, Xiao Heng, the burly man at the head, couldn't help but change his expression.
Nine Clouds, those on the periphery of the Blood Sacrifice Mountains, are figures with a certain reputation and influence. Their strength is not to be underestimated.
"Jiuyun, are you going to get involved in this" Xiao Heng's eyes were cold.
“As the head of the Zhao family is an old friend of mine, and the Zhao family is now facing a crisis, I naturally can’t just sit back and do nothing. Nine Clouds still smiled, “Xiao Commander, I also regret the death of your young master, but the dead cannot be brought back to life. In my opinion, why don't you put forward some conditions This old man will let the Zhao family satisfy you as much as possible as compensation, how about that”
"Compensation What a joke!" Xiao Heng sneered. "Jiu Yun, if I killed your son and then offered you some compensation afterwards, would you accept it"
"Captain Xiao..." Jiuyun was still about to say something.
"Shut up!"
Xiao Heng roared directly, "Jiuyun, if you know what's good for you, get out of here right now. Otherwise, not only will the Zhao family be wiped out today, but you will die too!"
"Captain Xiao!"
Jiuyun couldn't help but feel indignant, but at this moment, he saw that Xiao Heng's already formidable aura suddenly surged upward.
"That... is the late stage of Void Breaking!!" Jiuyun's expression changed instantly, he looked at Xiao Heng in astonishment, "You, you broke through"
"Otherwise" Xiao Heng's eyes were cold.
Given his past temperament, the moment he learned that his son was killed by the Zhao family, he would have immediately attacked them, never waiting seven days.
This time, the reason for this is that under the grief of losing his child, his cultivation level actually broke through
He waited for seven days to solidify his cultivation before taking action.
But at this moment, Jiuyun was no longer as carefree and confident as before.
He is only at the mid-stage of Void Breaking cultivation. Although his strength is extremely powerful, even if he faces two or three Void Breaking cultivators of the same level, he can still hold his own.
But if he encounters a late stage Void Breaker… then he would be completely outmatched.
"Master Zhao, I'm sorry, today's matter, this old man is afraid he can't handle it. Jiu Yun looked at Zhao Qing Shan with cold eyes."
"Mr. Jiuyun..." Zhao Qing Shan's face changed drastically.
All the Zhao family members around were also panicked.
Nine Clouds is their biggest asset against the Heavenly Fire Mercenary Group.
Once Jiuyun is out of the picture, what can their Zhao family use to oppose the Tianhuo Mercenary Corps
"Apart from Jiuyun, everyone in Zhao's manor, one by one, will be slaughtered!"
"Every member of the Zhao family shall be buried with my son!"
Xiao Heng's icy voice had already resounded throughout the Zhao family mansion.
"Kill me!"
With Xiao Heng's command, the strong members of the Tianhuo Mercenary Corps instantly made their move.
"No!!!"
"My Zhao family, it's over!"
The Zhao family, including Zhao Qingshan, all looked utterly desperate.
Although the Zhao family invited several other powerful individuals this time, those strong individuals were not fools. Even Jiu Yun chose to stay out of it, so they naturally wouldn't really fight for the Zhao family and confront Xiao Heng, who had already broken through to the late stage of Void Breaking.
"Run!"
"Flee quickly, however many you can escape is a good number!"
Zhao QingShan cried out in anguish.
"Husband!"
"My lady, let us flee as well!"
Zhao Tianrong and Chen Yin, as a couple, are also preparing to flee.
All members of the Zhao family on the scene had already lost any intention of resisting and were scrambling to escape.
There was only one figure, incredibly young, who at this moment did not flee but instead charged headfirst toward the powerful warriors of the Skyfire Mercenary Corps as they approached.
"Oh, this Zhao family, there's actually still someone who isn't afraid of death" The strong men from the Tianhuo Mercenary Group couldn't help but smile at this.
"It's him!" Zhao Tiande had already recognized this young figure.
"Mr. Jian Yi" Zhao Tianrong and his wife Chen Yin were also quite surprised.
All the Zhao family members were about to flee, but the helper Jian Yi they had invited from the Tianyan Palace, unexpectedly charged out
……
"The Tianhuo Mercenary Group, with a total of fifty-two people who stormed into the Zhao family mansion now, including ten powerhouses at the Breaking Void Realm!"
"Seven cultivators in the nascent soul realm!"
"Two Void Core Mid-Stage cultivators!"
and ... a late Void Breaker
Su Xin's eyes were icy cold as he stared at the many strong fighters from the Heavenfire Mercenary Group who had come to kill him.
"There's no need to waste time with them, kill them all!"
The next moment, a talisman appeared in his hand and was crushed directly.
Wow!!
The invisible ripples spread out.
Instant forming, no void.
Originally, the ten Void-Breaking Realm powerhouses, including the strongest among them, Xiao Heng, stood high above, seemingly suspended in mid-air. But suddenly, their figures trembled violently. Immediately after, they all plummeted to the ground.
And Su Xin, having already unsheathed his sword, began a direct slaughter.
Wow!
The breathtaking sword light flashed out, like a fleeting曇花, its beauty lasting only for a moment, disappearing in an instant.
Flying Blood Sword Art, a fleeting blossom!
The three Void Realm powerhouses who charged to the front had just landed when a sword light swept past them, followed by several Sea Transformation Realm cultivators behind them, all being struck by the sword light.
Tut!
A cacophony of sound arose, and more than ten heads flew into the air at once.
One sword, simultaneously killing more than ten powerful figures including three from the early stage of Void Breaking, just like slaughtering chickens!
The mighty warriors of the Heavenly Fire Mercenary Corps, including Xiao Heng, were all taken aback. They hadn't even had time to react.
Su Xin continued to advance, coming before a slovenly man with a bushy beard. This slovenly man was one of the two cultivators in the mid-Void Breaking stage from the Heavenly Fire Mercenary Group.
Whoosh!
A freezing sword thrust out, carrying boundless mystery.
"Be careful!" someone warned.
"Stop!!" Xiao Heng roared, charging forward at lightning speed.
The disheveled man's eyes flashed with a sliver of fear, and he desperately tried to wave his weapon in defense, but the icy sword light pierced through his entire body in an instant.
"I... I couldn't even block a single move" The disheveled man's face was still filled with disbelief, even as he neared his end.
He, a powerful cultivator at the peak of the False Void realm, was killed instantly by the other party.
There was no room for struggle or resistance.
The slovenly man's body had just been pierced, when Xiao Heng arrived here.
"You dare..." Xiao Heng's anger surged as he glared at Su Xin, not waiting for him to speak.
"Joke!"
Su Xin smiled disdainfully, his figure flickering, and he reappeared before Xiao Heng in an instant, his sword slashing out once more.
"Shadow play!"
Wow!
One after another, hazy sword shadows overlapped and gathered together, suddenly erupting.
Xiao Heng immediately drew his sword to block, but the moment their weapons clashed…
"How is that possible" Xiao Heng's eyes widened in disbelief.
He only felt an overwhelmingly terrifying force emanating from the layers upon layers of sword shadows. Both his arms, which were gripping the blade, instantly went numb. The knife flew out of his hand, a mouthful of blood spurted out at once, and the entire person was like a bullet, directly smashing into a cylindrical pillar behind him.
With a loud bang, the pillar was smashed to pieces on impact.
After stabilizing his figure, Xiao Heng completely ignored his injuries. He didn't even think about avenging the Tianhuo Mercenary Group members who had just been killed by Su Xin. He didn't dare to look at Su Xin again, but immediately turned around and fled towards Zhao Family Mansion at the fastest speed he could muster.
"Want to escape"
Su Xin sneered coldly, but immediately chased after him.
The two vanished in an instant, one after the other, from everyone's sight.
Meanwhile, within the Zhao family compound, both those Zhao family members who had originally planned to flee and those powerful Heavenfire Mercenary Group warriors who came with fierce intentions to wreak havoc upon the Zhao family, were now all frozen in place like wooden chickens. They hadn't even had time to recover from the shock.
Especially the Zhao family.
They had all completely given up hope, desperately trying to escape. Anyone who could get away did.
Su Xin suddenly took action.
In an instant, over ten powerful figures, including three Void Refinement Realm experts, had their heads flung off simultaneously.
Another sword strike, and a Void Breaker mid-stage expert was pierced through the body.
Next, Xiao Heng, who had already broken through to the later stage of the Void Breaking Realm, wanted to stop his massacre. As a result, with just one sword, Xiao Heng was immediately severely injured and began to flee for his life.
In the blink of an eye, the situation on the field completely reversed!
"Go quickly!"
Those days, the strong members of the Fire Mercenary Group were terrified. They no longer cared about killing the Zhao family.
Even their captain is now on the run, so they naturally need to escape immediately.
Even Zhao family members dared not stop him.
"Spare my life!!"
"No!!!"
A crazed roar suddenly came from the front, in the direction Xiao Heng was fleeing.
Just moments later, Su Xin returned, carrying in his hands the severed head of Xiao Heng.
…… level of most Nirvana Realm powerhouses.This Ginger Flame, despite only having the cultivation of the Mid-Stage Void Breaker, has already comprehended the essence of four realms. This is quite remark...
