Chapter 343: Chapter 342: Wipe out with ease (Extra Chapter as a reward for the enchanting eyes!)
"Kill!"
The grey-haired elder of the Guan family gave an order for the Rotating Great Array to activate, and two hundred masters of the Xuan Qi Ninth Peak attacked at the same time.
The vast and boundless momentum, like a mountain range from the horizon crushing down, made people feel as if they were being flattened even from thirty feet away.
The Guan family masters who hadn’t yet acted, wide-eyed, wanted to see if Shi Xiaole would use a hidden weapon or if someone would assist him.
They subconsciously overlooked the possibility of Shi Xiaole making a move himself.
It wasn’t surprising that Shi Xiaole, at the first level of the Spiritual-Passage Realm, could defeat Guan family masters of the same level in a blink of an eye, and even if he was said to be capable of fighting those on the third, or even fourth level, people would believe it.
But if they were to say he could overpower the Rotation Great Battle of a sixth-level master, that would be a joke.
"That’s a good formation."
With the transformation of the large array into a fierce attack, Shi Xiaole simply nodded slightly.
Ever since his trip to the sea area, his spiritual power had increased noticeably. He spotted several weaknesses in the array almost immediately. Even without his spiritual power, the skill of Shi Xiaole himself was enough to break this array with ease.
The only thing to say was that if these two hundred masters had not used the array and attacked together, they might have worn Shi Xiaole out a bit more. Once they connected their auras using the array, they were actually defeated faster.
Lifting his left hand, his fingers pinched together, Shi Xiaole calmly pointed forward.
Pop.
In mid-air, the sound of a bursting bubble rang out. At the same time, the formidable and indestructible Rotating Great Array suddenly became chaotic, and the scattered forces counterattacked against the people inside the formation.
Splat, splat, splat...
Blood splattered everywhere, two hundred masters were flying all over the place. They had just sprung up from the ground and, pitifully, were knocked back down like falling dumplings.
Throughout this process, Shi Xiaole merely lifted his arm.
"No!!"
Everyone was stunned, standing as still as clay roosters.
The once lively peak of Qiyun Mountain suddenly became dead silent.
Shock, fear, doubt, all these thoughts bombarded people’s minds and an incomparable cold air rose from many people’s tailbones to the crown of their heads.
"Weak."
Shi Xiaole looked at the grey-haired elder.
"Heartless and Unrighteous Sword!"
The grey-haired elder’s hair stood on end, he threw a sword at Shi Xiaole and desperately flew backwards, planning to return to base camp.
When the long sword was three inches away from Shi Xiaole, he lightly pinched it with two fingers, flicked it with his right forefinger, and shattered the heartless intent. The long sword, at a speed beyond everyone’s vision, flew back at the grey-haired elder.
Swish!
The sword tip pierced through the grey-haired elder’s throat and was embedded in a big tree three feet away, and the sword hilt kept trembling.
"Are you ready to die?"
Shi Xiaole looked at Guan Mulei and the others.
"Quick, activate the Life and Death Array System!"
Guan Mulei’s voice was hoarse and terrified.
He had never seen anyone like Shi Xiaole in his life. He vowed that unless he was 200% sure he could kill the other party, he would never appear in front of Shi Xiaole again.
One by one, the presence of the array system leaked out, and those ten plus masters of the Guan family at the Spiritual-Passage Realm were also terrified. Without waiting for Guan Mulei to elaborate, they activated the Life and Death Array System on their own.
A sense of chaotic energy, carrying both vitality and deathly silence, diffused and filled an area within fifty feet. Guan Mulei and the other Guan family’s top ranks were precisely under the cover of the life aura.
"The Guan family is seriously injured today, and we will make you pay in blood another day, go!"
The life aura was enough to block a blow from a master at the late stage of the ninth level of the Spiritual-Passage Realm, so Guan Mulei let out a long sigh of relief and quickly led the panicked high-level members towards the secret passage.
"Do you think you can escape?"
Shi Xiaole took a young man by his side, took a step forward as if treading on wind, and covered a hundred meters distance in the blink of an eye, so much so that the death aura that enveloped him hadn’t fully stabilized and was directly broken through by him.
With several hundred meters between them, Shi Xiaole put down the young man and his legs moved, his speed increased explosively again, as if he was no longer a person, but a wild wind.
Wind God Leg, the sixth form, Wind God’s Furious Howl!
Bang!
The life aura also hadn’t yet stabilized, and its solidity was naturally greatly reduced. One kick shattered it like glass, and along with it, the hearts of the Guan family’s high-ranking members that had just risen in relief.
Who could have imagined that Shi Xiaole’s speed would be absurdly fast?
"Spare us!"
"Young Hero Shi, wait!"
People screamed in panic, in the face of life and death, these big shots who were usually unquestionable in Qingxue State’s Martial World, how much different were they from ordinary people?
Shi Xiaole was ruthless, he swept his sword finger across.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.
Heads flew up one by one, and the screams abruptly stopped.
The top-notch forces of Qingxue State, masters of the Guan family who belonged to one of the four great families, were as vulnerable as fish on a chopping board in front of Shi Xiaole at the first level of the Spiritual-Passage Realm, without the slightest power to fight back.
"You can’t kill us, you’ll be cast out by the Righteous Path of the Martial World!"
Guan Mulei’s face was pale, void of any color.
"You don’t represent the Righteous Path."
Shi Xiaole said coldly, pointing his finger behind him, the long sword of the Five Flower Wanderer split in half, the center of his forehead pierced by Sword Qi. Just before his consciousness faded, he remembered the situation two years ago.
Back then, he could have easily killed Shi Xiaole. In just two short years, everything had changed, and the Guan Family regretted provoking this man!
"Stop it, if you dare to kill again, I’ll kill your friends."
A sudden shout was heard, Shi Xiaole turned his head and saw a master from the Guan Family standing in the distance, his face as white as a sheet, holding a sword in his left hand, pointed at two individuals who were so mangled, they were barely recognizable as human.
"Brother Su, Miss Zhu."
At a glance, Shi Xiaole recognized them. Weren’t they none other than the once-glorious ’Young Master Sword’ Su Junhao, and the most beautiful woman in the Cloud Triangle, ’Cloud Robes Fairy’ Zhu Ling?
Their clothes were torn and tattered, with dried blood all over them, and their eyes were disoriented. From one look, it was clear how much they had suffered.
"Are you, Brother Shi?"
Su Junhao looked at the blood and bodies strewn all over the ground, and at the guilt-ridden young man in the distance, and spoke in a somewhat numb tone.
Zhu Ling’s scattered gaze gradually regained some clarity.
"Brother Su, Miss Zhu, I am sorry that I have implicated you. I will take revenge for you with the blood of the Guan family."
Shi Xiaole’s face had become utterly detached, devoid of any emotional fluctuations. He reached out his hand and a sword on the ground flew into his grip where he swung it forward.
Puff!
The head of the Guan Family’s master who had been threatening Su Junhao and Zhu Ling dropped to the ground. He thought the distance of hundreds of meters was enough to threaten Shi Xiaole, but instead it just incited Shi Xiaole’s murderous intent.
With a swing of his sword, the momentum of the blade rose like a torrent, Shi Xiaole then swung his sword to the left and right respectively.
The intersecting Sword Qi flew past, suddenly dispersing into a sky full of Qingyang Sword Qi. Anyone from the Guan Family standing under this Sword Qi, whether they tried to defend or escape, was ruthlessly pierced through, leaving them no place to be buried.
In an instant, including the head of the Guan Family, Guan Mulei, close to a hundred of the Guan Family’s upper echelons were all killed, no one escaped.
Everyone felt their scalps tingling as they watched this jade-like young man garbed in green, who looked like a banished immortal yet was a murderous god.
The younger generation of the Guan Family, standing on the pavilion atop the distant peak, watched this scene. Some were grieving, some were wailing, and some were furious.
"Shi Xiaole!"
Guan Duli had a very complicated expression on his face. He had always admired Shi Xiaole, but now, Shi Xiaole had nearly eradicated all the masters of the Guan Family.
Luckily, the branch he belonged to was only a sideline and most of his relatives were serving elsewhere, not on Qiyun Mountain, otherwise he had no idea what he would do.
"You should all leave, otherwise the Guan Family’s lineage will end."
An old man with a desolate expression forcibly dragged a few of the Guan Family’s outstanding younger generation and entered a mechanism inside the pavilion, disappearing without a trace.
Afterwards, the Guan Family was plunged into complete chaos, as servants, maids, other abandoned youths, and guards were all in a daze.
A group of people, in their panic, escaped from the desolate mountain road behind the gate. The precipitous cliffs, which they were usually afraid of, no longer seemed scary.
"Daniu!"
Inside the Guan Family residence, a beautiful young girl saw the young man behind Shi Xiaole and cried out loud.
"Chunxiang!"
The young man immediately ran over and held her in his arms.
The Guan Family’s young master who had been monopolizing Chunxiang had already abandoned her and fled at the first opportunity.
Unfortunately for him, because of his usual cruel and ruthless behavior and his dislike for martial arts training, he had already been killed by the guards who had also fled, taking all his possessions with them.
"All of you should leave."
Seeing the trembling crowd of servants and underlings, Shi Xiaole did not continue to kill.
These people only handled the miscellaneous tasks and didn’t participate in the Guan Family’s many affairs. He would never kill the innocent.
"Thank you, young hero, thank you, young hero!"
The crowd quickly bowed and thanked him before hurriedly leaving.
Su Junhao and Zhu Ling were severely injured, with over a third of their meridians severed throughout their bodies. Their martial arts abilities were completely crippled, making them weaker than ordinary people.
Shi Xiaole was consumed with shame and sorrow. He left a few of the Guan Family’s doctors who desperately treated the two no matter the cost.
The Guan Family had countless precious medicinal ingredients. With the desperate efforts of the doctors, they finally managed to control the injuries of the two, but the martial power they lost could never be fully recovered.
"Whether you hate me or resent me, I never meant to drag you into this. Take this as my token of remorse."
Shi Xiaole copied the scrolls of the Day Changing Great Method overnight and presented it to Su Junhao and Zhu Ling.
The Day Changing Great Method was a top-tier intermediate internal cultivation method with amazing restorative power. If cultivated properly, the two would have unlimited potential in their future.
"Brother Shi, I don’t blame you. I only hate the Guan Family and the other powers for their despicable actions, they have no right to call themselves the Righteous Path!"
Su Junhao gritted his teeth.
Zhu Ling’s eyes were full of tears, she said coldly: "They destroyed the Justice Sect and killed my family. I will surely take my revenge one day!"
"You won’t have to wait for that day. You two rest and recuperate here. Tomorrow I will set off, touring Asura Mansion, Divine Fist Clan, Nangong Aristocratic Family, Bali Family, Twin Absolute Palace, and Spring Full Garden in succession!"
Shi Xiaole was filled with murderous intent.
The next day, a figure left the foot of Qiyun Mountain and entered the martial world of Qingxue State, which was still unaware of the disturbance.
