Shoot him, shoot him now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his own meager magic power gushing out like a breached dam, rapidly draining to nothing, while his own cavalry still failed to seize the chance to kill Xu Zhiyuan, Ding Chushan could not help but roar in desperation, his facial muscles twisting in fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cavalry finally snapped out of their daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some shot arrows through gaps in the vines and branches, others seized spears and hurled them hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trapped by the Immortal’s “Entangling Technique,” Xu Zhiyuan had no room to dodge or maneuver and was forced to rely solely on the armor formed from his own martial energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his massive sword slashed wildly in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang! Bang! Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arrows and spears pierced through the gaps and struck Xu Zhiyuan with dull thuds, only denting the armor—none could pierce through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ancestor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The true elite of the Xu family, including the current patriarch, saw Xu Zhiyuan trapped and turned pale, shouting as they tried to break through their opponents and rush to the rear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Shangdong, we’ve prepared for this day for a long time! Your father is old—he’s ready to be buried! Hah!” Ding Bangcheng laughed triumphantly as his grandson displayed overwhelming power, watching the Xu family’s elite scramble desperately in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of troop numbers, the three allied families certainly outnumbered the Xu family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the three families truly feared was the Martial Dao Master, Xu Zhiyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Xu Zhiyuan was contained, Ding Bangcheng was certain this battle would end in victory!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems the Xu family anticipated this too—Xu Shixiong still hasn’t shown up. They’re preserving a seed for the Xu lineage! Hah!” Lin Zhaonan joined in with loud laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as Lin Zhaonan’s laughter still echoed overhead, a tiger’s roar suddenly erupted like thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang! Bang! Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vines and branches trapping Xu Zhiyuan exploded apart, dissolving into wisps of green smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Chushan, who had been casting the spell behind the cavalry, staggered backward, his face pale, a trickle of blood slowly seeping from his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Zhaonan, you’ve truly killed my grandson—I will kill you all!” Xu Zhiyuan, hair disheveled and eyes wild with rage, roared, blood also slowly dripping from his own lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the roar, he surged forward like a fully enraged tiger, charging straight at Ding Chushan hiding behind the cavalry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cavalry gripped their blades, spurred their horses forward, trying to use their mounts’ speed and momentum to block Xu Zhiyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang! Bang! Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zhiyuan’s martial force surged powerfully; each slash of his sword unleashed streaks of sword light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who stood in his path were all cut down, men and horses thrown wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Block him! Stop him!” Ding Chushan cried, retreating while frantically pulling two talismans from his robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, he no longer cared about the cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slapped one talisman onto his body; a golden glow flared, enveloping him completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurled the other talisman at Xu Zhiyuan—it transformed into a green blade, radiating a cold, eerie green light, slashing toward Xu Zhiyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zhiyuan clearly did not underestimate the green blade—he channeled his martial force outward, shaping it into a black-winged tiger to block the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade and the tiger clashed in midair, stirring up swirling clouds of dust and fallen leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the green blade’s power—able to hold back Xu Zhiyuan’s winged tiger—the elite cavalry of the three allied families regained their courage, raising their great cleavers and charging forward while Xu Zhiyuan was distracted by the spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the elite cavalry of the three allied families had just charged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-winged tiger suddenly slammed a paw forward—the green blade dissolved into specks of green light and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another wave of men and horses were thrown down, none able to stand against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zhiyuan continued charging toward Ding Chushan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three allied families had killed his family’s hope—he would kill theirs first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if Ding Chushan escaped, even if the Xu family won this battle, they would face endless future troubles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible! His martial force has not declined!” The Ding family elder’s face darkened as he shielded Ding Chushan and retreated step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah! Who says my martial force has declined? I am stronger now than ever before—on the verge of becoming a Rank Ten Master! Did you really think a low-grade Qi Refining cultivator could ambush and outwit me?” Xu Zhiyuan roared with laughter, his long hair flying, his massive sword slashing through everything in his path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with armored cavalry and the momentum of their horses, it was all useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, no one stood before Ding Chushan and the Ding family elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chushan, run!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ding family elder gritted his teeth, brandishing his spear and charging forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Chushan turned and fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Die!” Xu Zhiyuan swung his fist through the air; the punch’s force took the form of a black tiger, lunging at the Ding family elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ding family elder thrust his spear to block the black tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear surged like a ferocious dragon emerging from the sea, incredibly fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Zhiyuan immediately swung his other hand, thrusting his sword through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Streams of sword light pierced through toward the Ding family elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ding family elder was thrown into panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within just a few breaths, he failed to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sword light pierced straight through his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed out; the Ding family elder fell backward, dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zhiyuan didn’t even glance at him—he charged after Ding Chushan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zhiyuan moved with incredible speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Chushan, by contrast, was much slower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Xu Zhiyuan had closed the distance to seven or eight zhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Chushan had no choice—he spun around, raised his hand in a spell gesture, muttered incantations, and pointed at Xu Zhiyuan—a green blade appeared in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This green blade differed from the one summoned by the talisman; it was formed directly from Ding Chushan’s own magic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A low-grade Qi Refining cultivator with not even a single magic treasure dares to face a Martial Dao Master head-on? You’re asking for death!” Xu Zhiyuan sneered coldly, his sword lashing out—sword light shot like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After only two clashes, Ding Chushan’s lips bled, his face turned pale, and he could no longer sustain the green blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a bubble bursting, the green blade vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the green blade disappeared, a sword light slashed toward Ding Chushan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Chushan couldn’t dodge in time—he was struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, his body flew backward like a kite with its string cut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the golden shield on his body absorbed the fatal blow—he did not die, but his internal qi churned violently, blood continuously spilling from his lips, and the golden shield dimmed drastically, about to vanish at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not possibly withstand a second strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a massive blade the size of a door and a long spear flew through the air, blocking Xu Zhiyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Gong Zhonghou, the master of the Dominant Blade Sect, and Ding Bangcheng, head of the Ding family, arriving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were formidable Rank Eight Great Martial Masters, wielding extraordinary weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Xu Zhiyuan was now stronger than ever, he had been fighting continuously and his martial force was severely depleted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounded on both sides, he could not break through for the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xu Zhiyuan, Ding Chushan is a disciple of the Spirit Blade Sect. If you kill him, the Spirit Blade Sect will not let you live! Since you’ve returned to your peak, why not maintain the status quo?” Gong Zhonghou said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: Today’s update is complete.
