Chapter 3158: Give You a Knife

Seeing the Third Elder, who in front of Qi Xiong was just like a new recruit, everyone had a complex expression.

No, why does it feel like Senior Brother wants to kill Wu Shou more?

Come to think of it, even the Third Elder weakly said something at this moment.

"Shī xiōng, why not sit down and talk? It's not a big deal either way."

Upon hearing that, Qi Xiong immediately raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily.

"What's there to talk about? You're so womanly benevolent; at this point you don't just chop him to death with one slash?"

"I……."

Hearing that, the Third Elder was momentarily speechless; she had indeed wanted to chop Wu Shou to death with one blow.

But after seeing Qi Xiong, she realized she didn't dare; what's going on with this Dao One Immortal Sect? We're all fellow disciples—what grudges, what grievances—do you really have to kill him?

Seeing the Third Elder a bit timid, Qi Xiong didn't waste words, grabbed her and dragged her away.

"Let's go."

"Where are we going, Senior Brother?"

"I'm taking you to seek justice."

"No, Senior Brother, wait a moment… I… I'm a bit confused, I want to be quiet."

"Cut the quiet, come with me."

As they spoke, under everyone's gaze, the Third Elder was forcibly taken by Qi Xiong, heading straight for Wu Shou's cave dwelling.

"What…… what should we do now?"

Shi Song present wore a doubtful look, saying, "No matter how you look at it, Senior Brother seems intent on killing Wu Shou."

"Let's follow first and talk later."

No one else knew what had happened; they could only follow and see what was going on.

All the way to Wu Shou's cave dwelling, upon arrival they saw a steward guarding the outside.

Seeing Qi Xiong arrive, the steward hurried forward respectfully.

"Greetings, Sect Master."

"Where's Wu Shou? Bring him out."

"Grand Elder is in closed-door cultivation, saying he's on the verge of a breakthrough."

Hearing that, the steward replied truthfully, but Qi Xiong didn't believe a word, his eyes narrowing slightly as he gave a cold smile.

"In closed-door cultivation? Hah, trying to play this trick on me?"

Sensing the chill from Qi Xiong, the steward instinctively stepped back.

This Sect Master feels off—he looks like he wants to devour someone.

He's just a lowly steward; naturally he didn't dare provoke Qi Xiong's wrath, so he could only give an embarrassed smile and retreat to the side.

As for that, Qi Xiong didn't bother the lowly steward, his gaze fixed on the cave entrance, even opening the cave's defensive formation.

The entire cave dwelling was now layered with formations, like a turtle shell.

Seeing this, Qi Xiong calmly said to the Third Elder.

"See?"

"See what?"

Hearing that, the Third Elder was full of doubt, thinking, "I didn't see anything at all?"

In response, Qi Xiong said, frustrated at her inability to grasp the point.

"That shrunken-head turtle is hiding—don't you understand the reasoning behind it?"

"What reasoning?"

"He's guilty as a thief—if he weren't guilty, why would he hide?"

"This……."

"Dealing with this petty scoundrel, why waste words? Listen to me: I'll break the formation in a moment, then you charge in and chop him down with one blow—understand?"

"No, Senior Brother, you're really serious about this?"

"I'm just messing with you?"

Seeing that it's come to this, the Third Elder is still utterly timid, so Qi Xiong immediately turned and shouted at her.

"I'm helping you—I've already broken the formation for you; what are you still timid about?"

"I've started the fight—aren't you coming?"

Faced with Qi Xiong's angry glare, the Third Elder instinctively shrank her neck; the black aura that had surrounded her had already vanished before his ruthless demeanor.

She was angry, but not even a ten-thousandth of Qi Xiong's fury.

That's your junior brother, your dear junior brother—you'd just chop him to death in one go—is that right?

But Qi Xiong didn't care what that thing thought; he took a long blade from his space ring and handed it straight to the Third Elder.

Looking at the blood-red blade, the Third Elder said with a complex expression.

"Shī xiōng, this is……."

"Hold it; in a moment you'll wield this blade and chop off his head with one strike."

"This………………."

"I'm letting you hold it."

Seeing the Third Elder still dazed, Qi Xiong couldn't help but shout angrily, startling her into instinctively taking the long blade.

Only when the long blade was in her hand did the Third Elder realize, "Wait, how did the blade end up in my hand?"

"Not bad."

At this point, Qi Xiong nodded in satisfaction, then unleashed his own immortal sword, his gaze sharp as he looked toward Wu Shou's cave dwelling.

All set—once the Formation breaks, you just rush in and chop that guy's dog head off with one blow.

Immediately, Qi Xiong thrust his sword forward, the blade heading straight for Wu Shou's Dong Fu.

The Formation enveloping the Dong Fu sensed the attack, and for a moment its light blazed.

However, the Formation protecting the Dong Fu naturally cannot compare to the sect's grand protective Formation.

It was mainly meant to deter petty thieves; facing someone like Qi Xiong who attacks without hesitation, it obviously couldn't hold for long.

With one sword strike, cracks already appeared across the Formation's pattern.

"What a turtle shell; I want to see how long you can hold out."

Before the sword could break through, Qi Xiong's anger flared a notch, and without hesitation he swung another strike.

The terrifying sword blade struck the Formation again.

After three consecutive strikes, the Formation Light Curtain broke as expected.

As soon as the Formation broke, Qi Xiong also shouted coldly.

"Charge in and chop off his dog head."

"Shī xiōng, you… I…"

Seeing this, the Third Elder truly went stupid—no, she hadn't intended to kill Wu Shou; earlier she was just angry, but now she has no idea whatsoever.

And when Qi Xiong turned his head and saw the Third Elder still dazed, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

You're completely useless—I helped you break the Formation, and you're chickening out? What good are you?

Since the Third Elder can't be relied upon, I have to rely on myself; with this three‑foot green blade in my hand, I will surely stab a few holes into Wu Shou today.

His long‑prepared plan to select the best Sect Master has been ruined by this guy, turning it into his Grand Elder selection instead—a truly masterful scheme of deceit.

Thinking of this, Qi Xiong finally gave the Third Elder a disappointed glance and tossed out a line.

"Watch closely, I'll give you a demonstration."

"Shī xiōng, you…"

He then ignored the Third Elder's words, turned and strode straight toward Wu Shou's Dong Fu, his steps firm, showing no hesitation whatsoever.

A chilling aura emanated from the long sword, making onlookers' scalps go numb.

Just as Qi Xiong was about to enter the Dong Fu, Wu Shou hurried out, saw Qi Xiong's grim face, and immediately bowed respectfully.

"Shī xiōng, why have you come? Shī dì was just in seclusion and didn't get to greet you; please don't blame me."

"Ha, seclusion? How could you bear to come out now?"

"Shī xiōng, your august presence graces us; as Shī dì, I must naturally come out of seclusion to welcome you—what affair in the world could be more important than greeting you, Shī xiōng?"

"What a silver tongue, but today, no matter how eloquent you are, my sword will show no mercy."
