Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Boom!!!

Ling Daoyan, sleeves rolled up, was seen operating an enormous siege crossbow.

The massive bolt, fully fifteen zhang in length, was a dark gold color, covered in mysterious patterns.

A muffled sound echoed from one of the three thousand peaks of the Great Xia Sword Sect.

The bowstring snapped, and as the bolt shot out, the void collapsed, turning the entire mountain peak into ruins.

The bolt's passage shattered the void, leaving a collapsed path over a thousand zhang long!!!

Lu Tao's heart leaped, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints, as he sensed a life-or-death crisis from the bolt!!!

A cyan longsword appeared in his palm, and with all his strength, he unleashed a terrifying cyan sword light!!

"Azure Mist Raging Stream Sword!!!"

Boom!!!

The sword light was destroyed by the bolt with overwhelming force, relentlessly approaching Lu Tao!!

Lu Tao's mind reeled in horror, roaring, "The Great Xia Sword Sect dares to kill me!!!"

Lu Tao's mind was in turmoil; he never imagined the Great Xia Sword Sect possessed such a weapon of mass destruction!!

Boom!!!

The arrow mercilessly broke through the sword light, shooting towards Lu Tao.

Just as the arrow was about to pierce his head, a white-clad youth suddenly stood in its path.

Lu Wuhen, dressed in white, was graceful and refined, his dark eyes peering from beneath his flowing hair.

With one hand behind his back, he forcefully gripped the incoming thick arrow, his figure retreating over a hundred zhang in the air!!

Yet he held the arrow firmly in his palm!

Lu Tao, seeing this, gasped for breath, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

He swallowed hard, looking at the youth before him with lingering fear, bowing and saying, "Brother..."

Li Guanqi stepped forward, blocking Lu Kangnian, feeling an unprecedented sense of crisis and pressure from the youth before him!

The opponent hadn't done anything, his aura barely perceptible.

Yet Li Guanqi felt a heart-pounding fear, an intuition... even more terrifying than Cang Lu's.

He even had a feeling... that this handsome fellow was his nemesis!

Perhaps to confirm his thoughts, the Sword Spirit's astonished voice echoed in his ear.

"Be careful, this guy is also a congenital sword embryo, and he's probably already touched the sword intent of the Sword Soul Realm!!"

Li Guanqi's heart tightened; this was the first time he'd encountered a congenital sword embryo like himself.

Moreover, he could sense that the opponent wasn't much older than him, at most ten years!

That meant... this half-step Body Integration Realm expert was less than forty years old.

Lu Wuhen exerted slight force, and the spear-like arrow exploded.

Spots of blood dripped from his palm, but the injury vanished in an instant.

Lu Wuhen tilted his head slightly, looking at Lu Kangnian and smiling, "In ancient times, envoys weren't killed during battles; the Great Xia Sword Sect is putting on quite a show."

Lu Kangnian sneered, retorting, "Envoys aren't killed... but I've never seen anyone delivering a declaration of war acting so arrogant and flaunting their power."

The youth turned back, glancing at Lu Tao with cold eyes, but said nothing.

He couldn't help but sneer, "I didn't expect the sects these days to be so tough... It seems they really have no self-awareness."

Buzz!!!!

Successive powerful auras emerged one after another!!

One figure after another tore through the void, each with a solemn expression and arrogant eyes.

They stood in the void, each with a minimum cultivation of the Void Refinement Realm, numbering over twenty!

Not only Void Refinement Realm cultivators, but also eight middle-aged men and women stood high above, coldly observing everything.

And these eight were all Body Integration Realm experts without exception!!

The disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect below gasped at this sight, their airborne figures shrinking lower and lower.

The terrifying pressure filled the void, tearing cracks in the space within a hundred li.

These people, just standing behind Lu Wuhen, brought an unspeakable sense of oppression.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

Ji Yuchuan and Xi Yunhuai instantly flew out, looking solemnly at the scene before them.

But they stood without hesitation behind Li Guanqi, Ji Yuchuan taking out a divine needle, murmuring, "Return to One."

Immediately, hundreds of figures flew out from the domain within the Great Xia Sword Sect!

These figures were somewhat illusory, then merged with Ji Yuchuan, and his aura continued to rise.

"Pavilion Master, if needed, I can break through to the mid-stage of Body Integration at any time!"

Li Guanqi nodded, softly saying, "Don't worry, don't do it unless absolutely necessary."

"Besides... they don't have the guts to attack me!!"

However, at this moment, a burst of wild laughter suddenly rang in Li Guanqi's ears.

"Hahahaha!!! Is that all you've got?"

"Hahahaha, a dignified ancient clan actually resorts to bullying with power, laughable! Too laughable!!"

Lu Wuhen's expression remained unchanged, calmly looking at the laughing man; he didn't know why the opponent could still laugh so wildly at this time!

Could it be... that the opponent had friends to assist?

But for so long, he had hardly sensed the aura of any cultivator rushing to support them within a thousand li.

"What are you laughing at?"

Lu Wuhen had brought everyone here today to intimidate the Great Xia Sword Sect.

But now...

Lu Kangnian suddenly stepped forward, his aura erupting, his hair flying wildly as he glared at all the Lu family cultivators in front of him!

"I laugh at your arrogance!"

As he spoke, Lu Kangnian suddenly waved his hand!!

Various ancient jade slips floated densely behind the man.

Upon closer inspection, these jade slips numbered over two thousand nine hundred!

Immediately, the three thousand peaks in the back mountain of the entire Great Xia Sword Sect began to tremble!!!

The void within the Great Xia Sword Sect suddenly cracked, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged like a runaway.

Countless brilliant spiritual lights shot into the sky from those peaks, forming pillar after pillar of light.

Boom!!!

Lu Kangnian's white robe fluttered, his aura forcibly breaking through to the mid-stage of the Void Refinement Realm!!

Sword energy surrounded Lu Kangnian, and he held a sword in his hand.

Pointing the sword at all the cultivators ten zhang away, he said, word by word.

"Want to bet?"

"Bet... whether the foundation of my Great Xia can slaughter... all of... you!!!"

Boom!!!!

The wind and clouds changed in the sky, and the roaring thunder echoed hundreds of miles away.

Rampaging lightning struck all around, and Ling Daoyan laughed wildly in the void behind him, spreading countless spiritual lights with a wave of his hand.

The previously destroyed Demon Slaying Crossbow reappeared, with over ten of them!!
