"What?
Who are you?
You actually caught my seven-inch magic sword with just two fingers? "
Elder Zhi was truly shocked.
He'd never imagined that Gu Xuan's speed and strength would be so high! Like a ghost, he disappeared from behind Li Yuanhao and appeared next to the Paragon of Pills, catching the dagger for her.
"What a pity, this is as far as you go! Do you think my seven-inch magic sword is so easy to catch?
This is the Emperor's Mandate bestowed upon me by my victim's family. It's the most suitable weapon for me! Add to that the strength of the great perfection realm bestowed upon me by my victim's family, and anyone who stands in my way will die! "
Killing intent exploded from Elder Zhi's eyes as he chanted a spell.
The seven-inch magic sword trembled and hummed.
A ring of energy rippled out from within. It was a dense sword-light of extreme sharpness, numbering in the tens of thousands. It could invade a person's body through their pores and destroy their meridians and organs. It was incomparably vicious.
But that wasn't all! The aura of the power of annihilation was faintly discernible within these tiny sword-lights! This meant that these tiny sword-lights were all condensed from the power of annihilation, and possessed unparalleled power! If these tiny sword-lights were allowed to invade a person's body, any ordinary great perfection realm cultivator would suffer a calamity of annihilation.
Unfortunately, Gu Xuan looked at these tiny sword-lights with an indifferent expression.
"Anyone who stands in your way will die?
That's the funniest joke I've heard this year. "
Gu Xuan laughed mockingly.
"Playing with a sword in front of me is no different from playing with a monkey in my eyes.
Your seven-inch magic sword will have to be renamed from today onwards.
I've even thought of a name for you. It'll be called the seven-piece magic sword. "
Light flashed through Gu Xuan's eyes. He clasped the tip of the seven-inch magic sword between his fingers and exerted some force.
A ring of energy burst forth from his fingers. Wherever it passed, the densely packed sword-lights vanished into nothingness at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they'd never existed.
Crack.
A crisp sound rang out.
The seven-inch magic sword broke into seven pieces.
Clang clang clang.
The seven pieces of the sword fell to the ground.
This scene stunned everyone in the Alchemy Room.
For a moment, the pill refining room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
No one had expected things to turn out this way.
Pu.
Elder Zhi spat out a mouthful of blood.
He was connected to the Seven-inch Magic Sword and poured a large amount of energy into it, wanting to kill Gu Xuan.
Now that the Seven-inch Magic Sword had been broken into seven pieces, he had suffered a backlash and was heavily injured.
"How is that possible?
That was a Monarch's Fate and Monarch's Weapon. Even if it wasn't a top-tier weapon, it was definitely not an ordinary weapon.
How could you shatter it with just two fingers? "
Old Zhi stared at Gu Xuan in disbelief.
Not only could he not see the face of this martial artist shrouded in fog, he could not see the other party's realm even more.
The only thing he knew was that this person was stronger than him! Moreover, he was much stronger.
"What?
Do you think it's difficult to shatter a trashy short sword? "
Gu Xuan smiled disdainfully.
Elder Zhi clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger and hatred.
"You shattered my sword, and you dare to insult it?
Insulting it is the same as insulting me! Even if I have to risk my life, I will still kill you! "
A vicious glint flashed through Elder Zhi's eyes.
He knew that he would not be able to walk out of the Li family's ancestral hall today.
The mysterious person in front of him and the Paragon of Pills had completely recovered. Even if one or two Paragons came, they would not be able to gain any advantage in the Li family's ancestral hall.
However, even if he died, he would drag more people down with him! This unknown mysterious person must be buried with him! Gu Xuan's lips curled into a smile.
What kind of person was he?
When he saw Elder Zhi's attitude, he guessed that the old man was planning to self-destruct and drag everyone in the pill refining room down with him.
Unfortunately, he was too naive.
Gu Xuan's index and middle fingers formed a sword, and a soaring sword intent erupted from his body.
"Wait!"
The Paragon of Pills suddenly stopped him. "I still have a few things to ask him."
Gu Xuan nodded, and the soaring sword intent on his body disappeared without a trace.
"Elder Zhi, let me ask you. What is the victim's goal?
I already knew that you came to the Li family with ill intentions.
In the early years, the Li family members who cultivated in the Wufang Hardlands all betrayed us and pledged their loyalty to the Wufang Hardlands.
But for the sake of the Li family, I still accepted you as a guest elder.
You are an outsider, but in terms of status, you rank in the top ten of the Li family! For the sake of the Li family, I accepted two Paragons from the Wufang Hardlands and became the Li family's vice patriarch! To put it bluntly, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Li family is a vassal of the Wufang Hardlands.
The Wufang Hardlands can easily obtain all of the Li family's resources.
As long as the victim wants a sacred pill, I can even give it to him for free.
But why won't he let me go? Why won't he let the Li family go?
He wants to kill me. He wants the Li family to cease to exist. He wants the Pill Saint's Heart. He wants to sneak into the forefather's tomb.
What is all of this for? "
The Paragon of Pills roared.
His voice was trembling.
His body was also trembling.
She couldn't figure it out! Li Yuanhao, the third and fifth elders, Li Yuanjie, and the others all paled.
They never would've thought that the Wufang Hardlands' relationship with the Li family wasn't as harmonious as it seemed on the surface.
The Wufang Hardlands had been targeting the patriarch and the entire Li family! In fact, all of the Li family members who'd gone to the Wufang Hardlands to cultivate and then returned were no longer loyal to the Li family. They were loyal to the victim's family! Among them, the two vice patriarchs were included! Apart from the Pill Saint, the Li family's vice patriarchs were the two most authoritative and powerful figures. Their hearts weren't with the Li family?
When they thought of this, cold sweat broke out all over their bodies, soaking them in the blink of an eye.
When Gu Xuan saw this, he gave the Paragon of Pills an internal thumbs up.
How could a mere Elder Zhi know the answers to his questions?
He'd asked this on purpose to inform Li Yuanhao and the others of the true relationship between the Li family and the Wufang Hardlands! There was nothing more believable than seeing with one's own eyes.
Elder Zhi snorted coldly, seeming to be furious.
"From the very beginning, you've been nothing but a chess piece.
To the victim's family, the entire Li family is a chess piece.
From the moment I joined the Li family, the entire Li family has been at the mercy of the victim's family.
Unfortunately, you're not willing to be a chess piece. You've been obeying the orders of the victim's family. "
Elder Zhi almost roared when he said this.
"I've already prepared a list of names to enter the eastern tomb, but you didn't accept it and went in alone.
The Pill Saint that the victim's family wanted to create wasn't you! From the moment the eastern tomb was opened, you were useless. You should've retreated and found a corner to live on.
But you didn't. You wanted to become the Pill Saint and ruined the victim's family's plan! You forced the victim's family to make a move on you and the Li family.
Today, I'll become the vanguard of the Wufang Hardlands and die for the victim's family! "
Violent energy surged out of Elder Zhi's body. It was the power of destruction mixed with the power of annihilation.
His body began to swell at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a balloon that would explode at any moment.
"You've said so much nonsense, but there's no useful information at all.
I'll only ask you one question. Who is the victim's family?
Where is he? "
Gu Xuan suddenly had a feeling.
Perhaps the victim's family had already met him.
It was just that he didn't know.
This thought came out of nowhere.
But as soon as it came out, it took root in Gu Xuan's mind and couldn't be erased.
Elder Zhi, who had swelled up like a balloon, roared, "Didn't you ask two questions?
As expected, you're already talking nonsense when you're about to die.
Die! You'll all be buried with me! "
Boom! Elder Zhi's body exploded.
Surging Destructive Power mixed with the Power of Annihilation spread out in all directions. It was vast and mighty, capable of destroying the heavens and earth.
The faces of Li Yuanhao and the three elders of the Earth Clan turned as pale as paper.
Under this terrifying power, the entire Li family's ancestral hall would be destroyed.
