Chapter 174

The voice was utterly calm.

"First, you all die here."

"Second, join my Qinglong Society and serve it from now on!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The scene fell instantly silent.

The seven faces of Lord Chuan Ying turned pale all at once.

They gained a new understanding of Ximen Wudi's dominance and brutality.

Just a moment ago, he had killed one of their own teammates over a single word.

Now he demands our allegiance.

Does he really not regard Han Gongdu as anything at all?!

He's at least a Venerable Heavenly Being Realm expert.

Is he really that powerless?

Internally, he muttered a silent curse.

To the surface, Lord Chuan Ying's face showed slight hesitation as he looked toward him.

"Please, Great Dragon Chief, choose another demand—this matter is truly..."

"Do you even have a choice?!"

Before he could finish.

Ximen Wudi cut him off coldly.

His piercing gaze seemed to steal the soul.

"You just killed Old Han right before our eyes, and now you want us to pledge loyalty?"

"Do you truly believe your position as Great Dragon Chief of the Qinglong Society grants you the right to act so tyrannically?!!"

Tian Guoke's aged face darkened like water as he roared.

His eyes were filled with bitter resentment.

Both were once among the three greatest Daoist masters of the old Sui Dynasty.

He and Han Gongdu and Zhi Lixing had always been close.

Later, they all joined the Sui Dynasty together, becoming Imperial Protectors.

Over these years, their bond had become deeper than blood.

Now.

This murderer, who had killed his dear brother, dared demand their allegiance!

Truly, even the uncle can tolerate it, but the aunt cannot!

Yet.

Just as he finished speaking.

Before his voice had even faded.

His whole body suddenly trembled slightly.

Then he raised a finger and pointed at Ximen Wudi.

He opened his mouth, lips quivering twice.

In the end, not a single word came out.

He collapsed straight backward.

His entire Xin Qiji slowly dissipated at that moment.

"Who else opposes?"

Ximen Wudi's expression remained unchanged as he looked at them.

His calm eyes showed not the slightest ripple.

"Old Tian!!"

Zhi Lixing cried out in shock.

He caught his falling body just before it hit the ground.

His eyes brimmed with sorrow.

The successive deaths of two old friends.

For a moment.

The blow left him weeping uncontrollably.

He gently laid the corpse on the ground.

A flash of madness crossed his face.

Ignoring the urgent glances from Lord Chuan Ying and the others.

His expression twisted into ferocity as he lunged forward with a palm strike at Ximen Wudi.

He roared with hatred.

"Dog! Die!!"

Perhaps knowing his attack was doomed to be like an egg striking a stone.

At this moment.

Zhi Lixing held nothing back.

He pushed his cultivation to its absolute limit.

And unleashed his ultimate life-saving secret technique!

Obviously, he was intent on mutual destruction!!

Almost in an instant.

His twisted old face first flushed with an unnatural flush, then rapidly turned as pale as paper.

His long hair instantly turned from black to white.

But one must admit.

At the cost of consuming his own potential and lifespan.

The effect was still extremely striking.

Just for an instant.

His entire aura underwent a tremendous transformation!

His original mid-stage Heavenly Being cultivation suddenly surged several-fold!

Where his massive palm passed.

Even the void itself subtly trembled!

That overwhelmingly powerful force.

Was already comparable to the full-force strike of a Mythical Realm beginner!

Even surpassing it!!

Thus, one can see just how terrifying this killing technique truly was!!

"Old Zhi, don't!!"

Seeing this, Lord Chuan Ying and the others turned pale.

They wanted to intervene.

But it was already half a step too late.

They could only watch helplessly as it unfolded.

A sense of foreboding rose in their hearts.

In contrast, Ximen Wudi.

Facing this strike that even a Mythical Realm cultivator would have to treat with caution.

At this moment, he appeared remarkably calm.

His deep, indifferent eyes were filled with a tranquil, distant gaze.

When the opponent's figure drew within less than a zhang.

Only then did he calmly speak.

"Hit!!"
