Chapter 18

The wound on his neck was also spraying wildly like a fountain.

A muffled thud.

Tang Laoer's headless corpse fell rigidly to the ground.

Staring at this utterly horrifying scene before him, Tang Laosi was instantly scared pale as a sheet!

He never could have imagined that his own second brother, who had reached the sixth level of the Innate Realm, was no match for the man before him — not even for a single exchange!

What cultivation base does this person actually possess?!

Tang Laosan wore a face dark as storm clouds, as if water were about to drip from it.

He stared at Jiang Daoxuan's face, feeling it grow more and more familiar the longer he looked.

Finally, a flash of inspiration struck his mind, and he suddenly thought of something.

"Jiang... Jiang Daoxuan?!"

After all these years, he recalled that nightmare-like figure.

The moment the words fell, it immediately made Tang Laosi's pupils contract.

He hurriedly looked at Jiang Daoxuan's face, and it overlapped with that cold, proud face in his memory!

"This... this is impossible? Are you a man or a ghost? You clearly shouldn't still be alive!!"

Tang Laosi was terrified to the extreme.

Then, as if suddenly thinking of something, his heart involuntarily skipped a beat. "That's not right! Where's my eldest brother!"

At this point, since Jiang Daoxuan was not dead, Tang Zhengyang's situation did not look good.

Hearing this, Jiang Daoxuan shook his head, too lazy to waste more words.

He immediately leaped into the air, like a fierce tiger pouncing, wind sweeping away the scattered clouds, spirit swallowing mountains and rivers!

Facing such an overwhelming momentum, Tang Laosi was instantly scared out of his wits, unable to move his legs.

His heart pounded wildly, as if about to leap out of his chest.

Seeing this, Tang Laosan nearby was not in much better shape either.

His first reaction was not to push his foolish younger brother aside, but to swiftly retreat, keeping far away!

Soon, Tang Laosi, who stood dumbfounded on the spot, became Jiang Daoxuan's target.

Sliiick—

The cold, sharp blade of the sword filled his entire field of vision.

With a gentle sweep, one sword sealed his throat, blood splattering in all directions!

Tang Laosi's eyes were wide open, the depths of his pupils filled with unwillingness, his expression gradually dimming.

Then, his body fell rigidly to the ground, never to breathe again.

At this moment, seeing Jiang Daoxuan slay two men in succession, treating Innate Realm experts like pigs and dogs to be slaughtered,

the Jiang family members in the midst of battle could not help but feel their spirits lifted, fighting with increasing courage.

In contrast, the Tang family members were ashen-faced, their fighting spirit completely gone!

Tang Laosan, who had barely survived, collapsed on the ground, raised his head, and looked at Jiang Daoxuan with a pounding heart.

"You......"

"Shut up."

Jiang Daoxuan looked over coldly.

Their eyes met, and gazing at those pitch-black eyes like a deep pool, Tang Laosan felt an overwhelming, suffocating pressure.

As if one more word from his mouth would cost him his life, turning him into a corpse.

Drip... drip...

Drops of blood gathered at the sword's tip, then fell.

As if the god of death had already drawn near him.

Tang Laosan lowered his head, his face contorted with savagery.

He still wanted to enjoy all the wealth and glory of the world — how could he be willing to die here?

Knowing that waiting any longer would only lead to certain death, he hardened his heart, abandoned all dignity and face, and began to beg for mercy under the gaze of the many Tang family juniors around him.

"No... don't kill me, I don't want to die yet. As long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to lead the Tang family to become a vassal of the Jiang family! Now that my eldest brother, second brother, and fourth brother are all dead, I am the sole candidate for the next Tang family patriarch. I can become your dog, driven by you however you wish — whoever you tell me to bite, I'll bite them......"

Perhaps fearing that speaking too slowly would earn him a sword strike, at this moment Tang Laosan's speaking speed was astonishingly fast.

Hearing this, Jiang Daoxuan's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were filled with mockery, as if he were enjoying a clown's performance.

But the performance had only been watched halfway when it was interrupted by the arrival of an uninvited guest.

A hunched old man with completely white hair and beard suddenly appeared on the scene. "Disturbing my Tang family, killing the younger generation of my clan — what gall. You lot may take your own lives and atone for your crimes, so as not to dirty this old ancestor's hands."

His voice was not loud, yet it fell clearly upon everyone's ears.

Hearing such arrogant words, the Jiang family members immediately thought of something.

Old Ancestor? Could this person be that very Tang family Old Ancestor who had reached the Purple Mansion realm many years ago?!

At the same time, hearing the Old Ancestor's voice ring out, and seeing that there was still a chance to turn things around, a flash of joy could not help but pass through Tang Laosan's eyes.

At this moment, he was immensely grateful that he had sent someone to notify the Old Ancestor to come.

Then, he hurriedly raised his head to look at the Old Ancestor, his eyes filled with hope, his lips slightly parting, about to speak. "......"

This time, before even a single word could leave his mouth, Tang Laosan felt a chill at his neck.

Then, he felt himself flying high into the air.

Thud.

The instant he hit the ground, a headless figure was reflected in his pupils.

That... is me?

Along with the last thought flashing through, Tang Lao's consciousness also completely plunged into endless darkness.

"How audacious!"

Witnessing one of the most outstanding juniors of the clan being slain right before his eyes, the Tang family Old Ancestor flew into a towering rage!

The primordial energy within his body gushed out, spreading in all directions, forming a powerful blast of air that forced everyone present to stop fighting and retreat together.

The Tang family Old Ancestor's gaze hardened, locking onto his target; with a tap of his toes on the ground, his figure shot forth explosively!

A distance of several dozen meters, crossed in an instant!

Whoosh!

The Tang family Old Ancestor gathered his vast spiritual power into his palm and struck out a palm brimming with endless fury!

Seeing this, Jiang Daoxuan's expression was relaxed.

In just an instant, he had already discerned the opponent's true strength from it.

Although he possessed the cultivation base of the Purple Mansion realm, he was limited by his old age and failing body, his qi and blood declining, and his overall strength had long since severely deteriorated.

To deal with such a good-for-nothing, a single palm strike would suffice.

A cold glint suddenly flashed in Jiang Daoxuan's eyes as he quietly activated Purple Thunder Palm, gathering wisps of purple thunder to converge in his palm.

Then, with a speed faster than a thunderbolt that gives no time to cover one's ears, he raised his arm and struck out swiftly!
