Destined Antagonist: I Refuse To Annul The Engagement!

The divine sound dissipated, and a solemn old man in a black robe appeared in front of the Zhao family's gate. He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes indifferent as he looked down at Jiang Xuan, as if he were looking at a dead person.

A terrifying and vast aura naturally emanated from him, as if he were integrated with the heavens and the earth, and every movement he made followed the principles of the Dao.

A Dao Fusion Realm expert!

It is worth mentioning that standing beside this old man was a handsome young man. He also wore a black robe, and a hazy sense of the Dao surrounded him, shimmering with a faint immortal radiance, like an exiled immortal.

"In the battle between the Dao lineages, we must abide by the rules. How dare you recklessly destroy them?" The old man glanced at the Zhao family steward and coldly reprimanded.

The Zhao family steward knelt down on the ground with a thud, trembling as he said, "I admit my guilt. Please punish me, Elder."

"Resign from your position and return to the clan to plead guilty. The Law Enforcement Hall will convict you." The old man said coldly.

Naturally, he was not here to ensure fairness, but rules were rules. Today, they could use assassins to kill Jiang Qiankun, and tomorrow, their own genius from the Zhao family might be killed in the same way.

This was obviously a foolish approach.

"Yes!" The Zhao family steward's face turned pale, and he bitterly replied.

The disciples of the Zhao family, on the other hand, showed joy on their faces. With the arrival of the elder, they had more confidence!

Moreover, accompanying them was their peerless genius from the Zhao family, Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo possessed the Dao physique and had already reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm half a year ago. His strength was so strong that he could easily rank among the top hundred in the Eastern Divine Continent!

With Zhao Kuo here, Jiang Qiankun had no chance of leaving alive today!

At this moment, the old man shifted his gaze to Jiang Xuan, wanting to see through his true nature. However, after looking for a long time, even using his eye techniques, he still couldn't figure it out.

In his eyes, Jiang Qiankun seemed to be wearing a hazy Dao robe, shielding himself from all his investigations.

"Interesting..." The old man smiled faintly.

Then, he gestured to Zhao Kuo beside him and said lightly, "Deal with him."

Zhao Kuo nodded calmly, his eyes cold as he looked at Jiang Xuan, as if he were looking at a dying ant.

In fact, that was the case.

He, Zhao Kuo, possessed the Dao physique and was truly a peerless genius, even reaching the point of being called a monster.

Although his cultivation was still at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, his combat power was already comparable to that of an old Profound Earth Realm expert.

If he used his trump card to reverse the situation and challenge an old Profound Earth Realm expert, it would not be difficult.

Killing Jiang Qiankun was as easy as crushing an ant.

Zhao Kuo calmly took a step forward, overlooking Jiang Xuan, and said indifferently, "I heard that you lost to Jiang Xuan, who has only reached the Soul Integration Realm, in the competition for the position of young clan leader."

"Even with the cultivation of the Spirit Transformation Realm, you couldn't beat someone at the Soul Integration Realm?"

Zhao Kuo couldn't help shaking his head, his tone filled with contempt as he scolded, "You have tarnished the identity of a genius!"

Then, he pointed his finger.

The Dao spontaneously emerged, and immortal energy enveloped the surroundings, giving rise to numerous hazy immortal mountains, carrying a vast and mighty power, suppressing Jiang Xuan.

Wherever the immortal mountains passed, the void trembled, causing ripples as if it could hardly bear the pressure.

Facing Zhao Kuo's Divine Ability, Jiang Xuan's expression remained unchanged.

In fact, he even seemed a little disdainful.

"A peerless genius?... Too weak." Jiang Xuan murmured with a smile.

The sword in his hand moved.

Quick.

Incredibly quick.

So quick that none of the young generation present could see how Jiang Xuan drew his sword.

Zhao Kuo was the same.

Buzz—

A slightly blood-colored sword qi seemed to appear out of thin air, rising from the ground to meet the descending immortal mountains.

"Sword qi? How naive!"

Zhao Kuo sneered. He comprehended the way of the mountains, where the mountain's intent transformed into immortal mountains, heavy and immeasurable. Even if it was this shallow sword qi, let alone a sharp sword technique, it would only crumble into pieces under his Divine Ability.

However, in the next moment, when the sword qi touched the immortal mountains, it suddenly changed.

Sword Intent, sharp to the extreme, soared into the sky.

Like cutting tofu, it sliced Zhao Kuo's Divine Ability in half.

The Divine Ability of the immortal mountains instantly dissipated.

But the endless sharp Sword Intent, empowered by the sword qi, was unstoppable and continued to slash towards Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo's expression changed slightly, hastily activating his own Dao body and invoking the mountain patterns to protect himself.

The crisp sound of metal and stone rang out.

He barely withstood Jiang Xuan's strike.

Zhao Kuo's expression immediately darkened. He almost made a big mistake!

This Jiang Qiankun was by no means an easy opponent. Although his cultivation seemed to be lower than his own, his true combat power... was probably not inferior to his own!

With this thought, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but be curious. Jiang Qiankun clearly wasn't weak, and could even be said to be very strong, with a hint of monstrous talent. Why did such a person lose to a Jiang Xuan who had just reached the Divine Realm?

He had paid special attention to Jiang Xuan and knew him very well.

Apart from the Jiang family's bloodline with a concentration of 75, his other talents were not even worth mentioning. Moreover, his cultivation was only at the Divine Realm. With such aptitude, at most, he would have the lifespan of a Lesser Venerable.

But he unexpectedly surpassed the other three Lesser Venerables and became the Young Clan Leader.

Comparing it to the true combat power of Jiang Qiankun before him.

It was obvious that Jiang Xuan's position as Young Clan Leader had a great element of luck.

But Jiang Xuan probably didn't expect that his Young Clan Leader was actually just a shield for those two monstrous beings in the Jiang family, right?

So, in his eyes... Jiang Xuan was just a lucky bastard!

However, Zhao Kuo didn't know that the unlucky bastard in his eyes was already holding a sword and coming to kill him.

Jiang Xuan's idea was simple: to kill this arrogant genius of the Zhao family in front of him!

With the prohibition of the royal city in place, even if the elder of the Zhao family in the Dao Fusion Realm was watching from the side, it wouldn't stop him from killing Zhao Kuo.

Moreover... he was accompanied by a guardian.

Furthermore... he was currently wearing Jiang Qiankun's identity, acting without any restraints or pressure.

The one-sided suppression and killing of a bunch of people in front was actually a bit boring, to be honest.

He couldn't truly gauge his current strength and what level he had reached.

The person in front of me, Zhao Kuo, seems to be the unparalleled genius of the Zhao family. His combat power is indeed impressive. If I were to only use swordsmanship, I would probably only be able to barely fight him to a draw.

But... why would he foolishly only use swordsmanship?

He is here to kill, not to spar.

The Indestructible Thunder Body secretly activates, and the thunder patterns on the surface of the body surge. The terrifying physical strength shakes the heavens and the earth, providing Jiang Xuan with unimaginable explosive power and speed.

Jiang Xuan's speed is too fast, so fast that Zhao Kuo hasn't even reacted.

The Red Heart Sword in his hand strikes again.

The sharpness of swordsmanship remains the same.

The overwhelming power enveloped in the sword blade is like a violent storm.

Boom!

Zhao Kuo's defense completely collapses, the mountain patterns covering his body have turned into dust, and his porcelain-like body is cracked.

Dazzling blood splatters everywhere.

Life is hanging by a thread.

The old man suddenly opens his eyes wide and angrily shouts, "You dare, you brat!"

The thunderous anger resounds through the heavens and the earth.

At the same time, the old man has already mobilized the power of the heavens and the earth and slaps Jiang Xuan with a palm.

In the void, Jiang Xuan's guardian is about to step forward to stop it.

Buzz...

The protective formation that envelops the royal city suddenly activates, and ancient and mysterious patterns instantly cover the sky.

The vast and cold aura of killing surges and presses down on the royal city.

Following that, a pale divine radiance emerges out of thin air and shoots towards the old man.

Boom!

The old man is sent flying, his whole body covered in blood.

Seeing this, the guardian's eyes flicker slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, he retreats into the void.

With the prohibition in the royal city, this elder of the Zhao family has no chance to make a move against the young clan leader, so he doesn't need to show himself.

After all... if he were to show himself, it is very likely that the true identity of the young clan leader would be exposed.

And at this moment, Jiang Xuan has already struck the second sword.

One sword severely injures Zhao Kuo, and the second sword... easily beheads him.

Zhao Kuo's head rolls to the ground.

His bulging eyes, filled with a horrified expression, are still hanging on it, forever frozen.

The Zhao family disciple who was originally standing at the entrance of the branch, upon seeing this scene... swallows his saliva and without any hesitation, instantly flees into the branch.

Even Zhao Kuo, who possesses the Dao Body, is no match for Jiang Qiankun, let alone them?

It is clear that these Zhao family disciples, although relying on the formation in the main hall, are trembling uncontrollably.

Clearly, they have been scared out of their wits!

Jiang Xuan casually glances at them, shakes his head, and these Zhao family disciples are already like dogs who have lost their home. Killing them further would be meaningless.

Immediately, carrying a sword, he left.

On the way back, Jiang Xuan passed by a scholar.

Jiang Xuan didn't pay attention.

But the scholar stopped and turned to look at Jiang Xuan's departing figure, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

At the Zhao family branch at this time.

The old man just now, Zhao Si, the elder of the Zhao family, disregarded his own injuries and flew back, trembling as he held Zhao Kuo's head, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

Zhao Kuo was his grandson!

No anger, no roar.

Zhao Si calmly said to everyone, "Issue an order from the elders, offering a reward for Jiang Qiankun."

"The one who kills Jiang Qiankun will be rewarded with three Dao Pills and a Saint Grade inheritance!"

Upon hearing this, all the disciples of the Zhao family were shocked!

Offering three Dao Pills and a Saint Grade inheritance as a reward for Jiang Qiankun?

Has the elder gone mad?!

You should know... even the reward for the two geniuses of the Jiang family is only one Dao Pill and a quasi Saint Grade inheritance!

The news of the Zhao family offering a reward for Jiang Qiankun spread throughout the royal city at a rapid speed.

For a while, the entire royal city was in an uproar!

Even many powerful cultivators who were cultivating in the royal city were alarmed and came out one after another to learn more details.

Three Dao Pills, a Saint Grade inheritance... even they were extremely tempted!

The already turbulent royal city suddenly became even more chaotic.

Everyone's gaze focused on the Jiang family branch, eager to take action.

This time, everyone remembered Jiang Qiankun, the young prodigy of the Jiang family.

He single-handedly killed many disciples of the Zhao family and several other major forces, and even beheaded Zhao Kuo, the peerless genius of the Zhao family, with two swords.

This level of combat power should be able to rank in the top ten among the younger generation of the Eastern Divine Continent, right?

And this astonishingly talented sword prodigy, Jiang Qiankun, is still just a junior of the Jiang family. What kind of terrifying strength and abnormal talent should the above him, the young patriarch Jiang Xuan, and the two geniuses possess?

The Jiang family... truly unfathomable!

The setting sun bathed the royal city in blood-like light.

The chaotic royal city, under Jiang Xuan's sword, experienced a brief period of peace.

But in this peace, countless people were restless and worried. The strength of the Jiang family's younger generation far exceeded their imagination!

Of course... there were more people eager to take action, unable to bear their murderous intent!

Among them, the immortal Zhao family was the most extreme.

With his grandson dead, Zhao Si was now terrifyingly cold. He was gradually going mad and only wanted to kill Jiang Qiankun!

But the city defense formation of the royal city was like a knife hanging over his neck, making it impossible for him to act recklessly.

And just at this moment.

The arrival of a mysterious scholar provided Zhao Si with a way to avenge his grandson.
