Chapter 256

Furthermore, why come all the way to Taian City to conduct business?

"Because if the two of us were to make a move here in the capital, I fear it wouldn't be easy to escape back. Therefore, with Divine Physician Li added to the mix, we have an extra layer of security!"

Seeing that Yang Taisui did not drink the tea, Xu Xiao did not mind; he simply explained it to Yang Taisui with his mouth!

The map is unrolled, the dagger is revealed!

Xu Xiao’s words could be described as the map being unrolled to reveal the dagger; hearing them, Yang Taisui felt a sense of hair-raising dread.

"Make a move? Escape back? Pillar of State, what are you talking about?" The feeling of unease in his heart grew stronger, and Yang Taisui asked Xu Xiao with a forced smile!

"Yang Taisui, do you not feel anything unusual? For instance, your whole body feeling limp and weak, and your own cultivation base being as difficult to mobilize as a pool of stagnant water?" Xu Xiao asked Yang Taisui in turn!

Once these words were spoken, Yang Taisui’s expression changed in horror!

Afterwards, he carefully sensed the condition of his own body.

Sure enough, his body was limp and weak, as if he had performed ten times in one night, and his cultivation base was indeed like a pool of stagnant water, difficult to mobilize!

"Why!?" Staring at Xu Xiao in shock, Yang Taisui asked in disbelief!

Indeed, why did Xu Xiao suddenly scheme against him and make a move on him? Why was this?

"Why? When my Lady met with disaster in Taian City, you were also an accomplice. Did you really think my Xu family would just let go of this hatred?"

At this moment, Xu Xiao did not even have the mind to maintain superficial courtesies. He glared at Yang Taisui, his eyes filled with hatred.

Xu Xiao had revealed his hand here, and the other three paths were also nearly finished.

The other three siblings of the Xu family had also each found the enemies they were meant to deal with... ===== CHAPTER 435 =====

"Xu Fengnian!" By the river in the wilderness, Han Han Diaosi looked at the person blocking his path, his expression becoming much more solemn.

The current Xu Fengnian was no longer the previous Heir Apparent, but the King of Beiliang.

Seeing him appear to block his path, it was clear he had come with ill intent.

Not to mention, the old man following beside him, carrying a tattered sword box, looked unremarkable, but his identity was not simple. He was the Sword Immortal-realm powerhouse who could destroy Wang Wang Xianzhi’s sleeve in a battle against him—Sword Nine Yellow!

"Han Han Diaosi, why is your expression so surprised?"

Xu Fengnian, dressed in white, looked at Han Han Diaosi’s solemn expression and said: "Back then, when you besieged my mother, you should have been mentally prepared for our Beiliang to take revenge, right?"

Silence. Hearing what Xu Fengnian said, Han Han Diaosi fell silent!

Since the conversation had reached this point, saying anything else was clearly pale and powerless!

"Fine. Rumor has it that Sword Nine Yellow returned from the dead with a Soul-Returning Pill. Today, let me see what kind of style Sword Nine Yellow’s Nine Swords truly possess!" Han Han Diaosi nodded and said.

As he spoke, three thousand red threads were released from his hands!

Although Han Han Diaosi’s martial arts cultivation was not high—only at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, not even reaching the level of a Great Grandmaster.

However, in this world of comprehensive martial arts, cultivation does not represent combat power!

In the original *Snow* novel, Han Han Diaosi had the reputation of being able to kill those in the Heavenly Phenomenon realm with his Finger Profound technique.

In this comprehensive martial arts world, it was the same; although he was only at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, quite a few Great Grandmaster-realm experts had actually died at his hands.

What did Han Han Diaosi rely on to challenge and kill targets above his level?

Wasn't it just this technique of three thousand red threads!

Seeing Han Han Diaosi’s three thousand red threads unleashed, Sword Nine Yellow naturally dared not underestimate him!

With a focused mind, he slapped the sword box, and it opened. Immediately, five flying swords shot out together toward Han Han Diaosi!

If one were to say Han Han Diaosi’s three thousand red threads were extremely soft and yin, then Sword Nine Yellow’s flying swords were extremely hard and yang!

The two sides traded blows, and for a time, it was incredibly lively.

However, Sword Nine Yellow was, after all, the man who had fought Wang Wang Xianzhi and destroyed his sleeve.

Even Wang Wang Xianzhi had lamented that if Sword Nine Yellow hadn't been too old and lacking in stamina, he would have actually been at a slight disadvantage!

This shows to what extent Sword Nine Yellow had tempered his state of mind after walking six thousand miles!

At first, the two fought back and forth, and it looked like neither could do anything to the other.

However, after fighting for dozens of moves, Sword Nine Yellow’s flying swords gained the upper hand!

After fighting for another two hundred moves, Sword Nine Yellow’s eight sword styles were used in turn, already pressing Han Han Diaosi so hard he could barely lift his head!

Leaving aside Sword Nine Yellow’s side, where his strength was crushing Han Han Diaosi.

On the other side, Blade Armor Qi Li Lianhua did not have so many flashy tricks; he went straight to find Great Yuan Great Yuan Benxi!

"You are Great Yuan Great Yuan Benxi?" Qi Li Lianhua showed none of the demeanor of the old servant from the Beiliang Prince’s Mansion; he gave the impression of an unsheathed blade, the edge biting and cold!

"Indeed, it is this old man. Who might you be?" Hearing this, Great Yuan Great Yuan Benxi gathered all his focus and stared at Qi Li Lianhua as he asked!

Being able to possess such momentum, Great Yuan Great Yuan Benxi could also realize the other party was not simple!

"The man who will kill you!"

After confirming Great Yuan Great Yuan Benxi’s identity, Qi Li Lianhua did not waste any more words. He raised his hand, and a heaven-shaking blade aura slashed fiercely down toward Great Yuan Great Yuan Benxi!

With this first strike, Qi Li Lianhua attacked in anger, unleashing his strongest blow!

For a father, the death of his daughter had naturally always been a knot in Qi Li Lianhua’s heart!

For so many years, it was not just the Xu family thinking of avenging Wu Su; likewise, as a father, Qi Li Lianhua had thought of avenging his daughter every single moment!

This feeling of hatred was like old wine; having been brewed for many years, it had instead become increasingly thick!

This blade, filled with hatred and driven by more than a decade of resentment, erupted with terrifying power!

With one strike, the entire mansion was split directly in two, as if it were a cake.

This terrifying blade aura instantly attracted the attention of countless people in Taian City!

With such a strike, the number of people in the entire Wu Lin who could unleash it could be counted on one's fingers. Who could it be that was capable of displaying such blade aura?

"What a strong blade, a blade filled with hatred!"

As one of the famous generals of the Liyang Dynasty, and a powerhouse who used the blade, Gu Gu Jiantang in Taian City could clearly feel the power of this strike!

At the same time, after carefully comparing it, even Gu Gu Jiantang had to admit that the power of this blade aura was something he himself fell short of!

This made Gu Gu Jiantang even more curious: what kind of sacred person could have such cultivation in the way of the blade?

Suffering Qi Li Lianhua’s strike, which had been nurtured by more than a decade of hatred for his daughter’s death, Great Yuan Great Yuan Benxi was not dead yet, but he was heavily injured.

Looking at Qi Li Lianhua with a face full of terror, this strike made him clearly feel the scent of death: "You, you are the Blade Armor, Qi Li Lianhua?"

Without speaking, Qi Li Lianhua raised his hand again, and the heaven-shaking blade aura appeared once more!

For someone dedicated to avenging his daughter, there was only one thing he needed to do now, and that was to kill the enemy before him!

As for talking? What was there to say to a dying man?

On the other side, Liu Liu Haoshi left Taian City and arrived deep in a great mountain!

"Who are you?" Looking at the figure blocking his path, Liu Liu Haoshi’s expression was solemn!

A young Daoist priest wearing Daoist robes and a woman in a red dress were both riding on the back of a crane.

This way of appearing made Liu Liu Haoshi feel the extraordinary nature of the other party!

"Beiliang, Xu Xu Zhihu, specifically sent false news to lure you out of the city. As for the purpose, I presume you are aware of it!" Xu Xu Zhihu spoke, saying to Liu Liu Haoshi!

"What purpose? I am not aware!" Liu Liu Haoshi shook his head, indicating he knew nothing.

However, although he indicated on the surface that he knew nothing, in his heart, Liu Liu Haoshi secretly gathered all his focus, watching the other party with vigilance!

Knowing his identity, and with just these two people, it was clear they had come with ill intent, and the other party’s strength was very high!

"I have come here today to avenge my mother!"

Seeing that Liu Liu Haoshi still wanted to pretend he knew nothing, Xu Xu Zhihu did not intend to hide anything further and directly stated her purpose!

These words made Liu Liu Haoshi fall silent!

The other party had already shouted this out; it was clear they had already investigated the matter of his attack on Wu Su back then thoroughly.

No matter how much he denied it, it was impossible!

"In that case, there is nothing left to say. Let me see what kind of methods you have!"

Liu Liu Haoshi stopped being stubborn and, as he spoke, took the initiative to attack!

However, facing Liu Liu Haoshi’s attack, facing this existence at the Great Grandmaster realm, Hong Hong Xixiang did not intend to waste many words.

He simply beckoned with his hand, and an ancient, simple precious sword appeared in his hand, then he slashed down with one sword!

This sword strike from Hong Hong Xixiang was not like the sword strike of a martial artist, and it was even different from the sword strike of a Sword Immortal.

As the reincarnation of Lu Zu, who had shouldered the Heavenly Dao of the sword eight hundred years ago, this sword strike of Hong Hong Xixiang drew upon the power of the Heavenly Dao for his own use.

As this sword fell, it was as if the power of the mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars had all been drawn for his use! ===== CHAPTER 436 =====
