Chapter 127: 101. A Foundation Establishment sword kills a Core Formation?! Is that even possible?!_4
The voluptuous beauty looked down at the people trapped beneath the Liuli Tower of Tian Liuli, their faces showing panic, and she chuckled softly.
Rather than saying they had surrounded Tian Liuli, it was more fitting to say that Tian Liuli had surrounded them alone.
She whispered softly, "Liuli, if you are so worried, why not go find him yourself? Taking your anger out on these people, what's the point?"
"No need."
Tian Liuli's peerlessly beautiful, flawless face was filled with indifference: "We are still competitors after all, and besides, as my chosen Dao Companion, how could he die in a place like this? Moreover, he has Lin Qingque by his side."
"Are you angry because he hasn't sought you out or realized that our sects could actually cooperate?"
The beautiful woman said with a smiling face.
Deep inside, she was also secretly amazed by Tian Liuli's demeanor.
Even as her Master, she had hardly seen any emotional fluctuation in Tian Liuli's expression over these past decades.
Yet today, she had noticed it several times.
And it was all because of that young man from afar.
"I won't get angry over such a thing."
Tian Liuli said indifferently, but the radiance of Liuli in her palm became even more intense.
The smile on the beautiful woman's face grew thicker.
Tian Liuli had denied the reason, but she hadn't denied being angry.
The beautiful woman didn't oppose Tian Liuli's affection for Xu Yuan.
Rather, she was pleased to see her heart could be stirred by someone, which was what she truly wanted to see.
This, in turn, could prove that she wasn't heartless, and Qiushui Shengong's cultivation would eventually be rewarded, as long as she didn't oppose the sect because of this person.
Otherwise, what would be the point of focusing resources on an ungrateful scoundrel?
...
The suddenly brightened sky soon returned to its previous gloomy and cold state.
Raindrops hit the face, cool and slightly prickly.
And the originally smooth bluestone pavement was now marked with myriad cuts from the dispersing Sword Qi, as if washed away by the rain.
Xu Yuan looked at the middle-aged scholar lying on the ground; his Treasure Garment was now dull and lustreless, and the exposed skin not protected by the garment was covered in sword wounds, his eyes staring, reflecting a refusal to close in death.
He didn't hurry to loot the body but quietly waited.
As expected, even before Xu Yuan's gaze fell on him, a shadow had already plunged down like a splash.
"I have no intention of making enemies with the Heavenly Dao Sect, but this man is my mortal enemy. He possesses an heirloom of my sect. I hope for your understanding, and I promise there will be a repayment in the future."
Upon seeing Xu Yuan's astonishing combat ability, those with nimble wits had already turned their attention to the deceased.
Xu Yuan remained unmoved, just quietly watching as the other approached the middle-aged scholar like a moth to a flame.
Seeing that Xu Yuan showed no intention of stopping him, the shadow felt a surge of joy, though he was also aware this might just be a test to see if the Core Formation cultivator had left any traps on his body.
But with great risk comes great reward...seek!
He hadn't even finished forming the word "seek" in his mind.
In a daze, he saw a human head, flying through the air like a ball.
That face, almost identical to his own.
Then, everything went dark before his eyes.
Watching as the shadow was beheaded by the Sword Qi from the middle-aged scholar, Xu Yuan still did not rush to collect the body but instead controlled the Thunderfire Sword, fiercely stabbing at the scholar's head,
Crack!
When the Thunderfire Sword nailed into the ground and the scholar's head burst open like a ripe watermelon,
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Almost simultaneously, several shadows flew towards him like arrows released from their bows.
At the same time, a loud shout arose.
"Don't be afraid, everyone! From his aura, it's clear he's extremely weakened after using his finisher. Just take care of that young girl, and after that, his finisher is up for grabs for everyone!"
Aside from the dozens of shadows rushing towards Xu Yuan, many more who weren't as brave also began to move, though their attention was fixed on the corpse.
In that instant, all the Loose Cultivators remaining here sprung into action. Discover more content at empire
Suddenly, the situation descended into chaos.
