Chapter 68: You All Must Die

Under the morning light.

In Yuanlong City, at the Xiao Family cemetery.

Two massive sword lights crossed in the sky, unleashing terrifying waves of sword qi.

Seven sword cultivators from Guiyuan Martial Sect hovered in the air, activating the Guiyuan Seven Absolute Sword Formation, pooling their Sword Dao Vital Energy together to unleash a heavens-shattering strike, aiming to slay Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang surged with mid-stage Heavenly Martial Realm power, channeling the red sun sword light generated by the Chiyang Sword to block this descending attack.

At that moment, the seven sword cultivators of Guiyuan Martial Sect strained to push their sword light down.

The immense sword light gradually pressed down.

Xiao Yang found himself struggling to withstand it.

His entire body slowly sank into the ground.

Was he really going to be forced to reveal his true strength today by these guys?

That was his trump card for playing dumb.

He didn’t want to expose his power too soon.

It seemed he had no other choice.

“Futian Sword Technique, one sword shatters the seven absolutes!”

Silently, he infused the Futian Sword Intent onto his flying sword.

In the next moment, the flying sword, boosted by the sword intent, saw its power surge immensely, its sword rainbow expanding several dozen feet in an instant.

On a distant hill, Qin Fei, who had been watching the battle, couldn’t help but change facial expressions at this sight.

Xiao Yang was only at the mid-stage Heavenly Martial Realm, so how could his sword qi be so formidable? It seemed even stronger than when he pointed at Qingyang Mountain and defeated Li Xingyao on the Sword Comparison Platform.

The Guiyuan Seven Absolute Formation was a renowned sword formation in the Northern Lands, and with the combined efforts of the seven, its power was akin to a full-force strike from a half-step True Martial Realm expert.

Yet, Xiao Yang, at mid-stage Heavenly Martial Realm, was blocking this astounding strike?

Qin Fei could hardly believe his eyes.

“Kill!”

Just then, Xiao Yang let out a roar, his sword Dao power erupting like a volcanic explosion, pouring all of it into the flying sword.

“Buzz!”

With a ringing sound, Xiao Yang’s flying sword burst into brilliance, unleashing an unprecedentedly powerful sword power from it.

This unstoppable sword power directly shattered the sword energy accumulated by the Guiyuan Seven Absolute Sword Formation.

The enormous sword light in mid-air shattered into nothingness.

The seven sword cultivators were shocked, immediately spitting blood and being sent flying back.

“It’s impossible…”

The leading sword master could not believe he was losing.

He could never have dreamed that Xiao Yang would break the Guiyuan Seven Absolute Sword Formation.

“Stop!”

At that moment, a loud shout rang out.

Several figures rushed in from outside the cemetery.

“Buzz!”

Xiao Yang swung his right hand, and the sword light swept like lightning towards the retreating seven sword cultivators.

He showed no hesitation.

“Roar!”

In a life-or-death moment, the leading Heavenly Martial Realm sword master desperately activated his mysterious skills to defend with his flying sword, creating a protective sword barrier around himself.

Xiao Yang’s sword light swiftly reached them.

The protective sword barrier collapsed instantly, his flying sword shattered into the void, unable to withstand Xiao Yang’s strike, as the man was sent crashing toward the newcomers.

The other six, however, weren’t so lucky.

Their flying swords shattered, blood mist erupted in the air, and they were shredded into a fine mist, their souls extinguished, leaving no trace behind.

The Heavenly Martial Realm sword master landed at the feet of the newcomers.

Seeing this scene, they were all horrified.

On the distant hill, Qin Fei was utterly dumbfounded.

“What’s going on? How did it suddenly turn around like that?”

Xiao Yang had gone from being at a disadvantage to flipping the tables, leaving Qin Fei astonished.

He was unwilling and resentful!

He had put in a lot for this.

If he couldn’t kill Xiao Yang, it would be a huge loss for him.

“This is ridiculous. Luckily, I have a backup plan…”

Qin Fei looked at those who had just entered the cemetery, his face twisting into a sinister smirk.

……

At this moment, Xiao Yang retracted his flying sword and then looked towards the newcomers.

He saw five disciples from Guiyuan Martial Sect.

The one in front was a middle-aged man in white.

Seeing that the newcomers were from Guiyuan Martial Sect, Xiao Yang’s murderous intent surged again.

“You really dare to kill the disciples of my Guiyuan Martial Sect?”

The middle-aged man shouted furiously, and the four disciples behind him glared angrily at Xiao Yang.

However, when they saw Xiao Yang’s bloodshot eyes and the murderous aura radiating from him, they were all taken aback.

“You are… the Sect Holy Son of Qingyang Sword Sect, Xiao Yang?”

One of them exclaimed.

“What…”

The middle-aged man was immediately shocked.

“Chu Shixiong, this madman accused us of grave digging without a word, and he wants to kill us. You must avenge us!”

The sword master on the ground coughed blood, knowing he wouldn’t survive.

“Xiao Yang, you dare accuse our Guiyuan Martial Sect disciples of digging graves? And you dare to kill my sect’s disciples? Even if you are the Sect Holy Son of Qingyang Sword Sect, you won’t leave here alive today.”

The middle-aged man roared in fury.

He was at the Complete Heavenly Martial Arts level; surely he could handle a mid-stage Xiao Yang easily?

He thought he could effortlessly subdue Xiao Yang.

These people had just arrived near Yuanlong City after being guided here by Qin Fei before even entering the city.

If they had known that Xiao Yang had killed Gui Teng at the city gate last evening, they probably would have wet themselves in fear.

“Kill!”

Xiao Yang shouted angrily, with cold sword qi erupting from him as a sword light pierced straight towards the five disciples of Guiyuan Martial Sect.

“Seeking death!”

The middle-aged man activated his flying sword.

A dazzling golden sword light erupted from him, charging to intercept Xiao Yang’s sword light.

In the next moment, the sound of metal clashing rang out.

The middle-aged man’s flying sword was immediately shattered by Xiao Yang’s flying sword, scattering into countless shards in the void.

The middle-aged man coughed blood as he staggered back.

“How is this possible…”

The middle-aged man was horrified.

In just one exchange, his flying sword was wrecked by Xiao Yang.

The four Guiyuan Martial Sect disciples behind him were even more stunned.

Their master, already at the peak of Heavenly Martial Realm, could not withstand even one of Xiao Yang’s swords?

They found it hard to believe.

At this moment, Xiao Yang’s flying sword pierced towards the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was terrified.

“Spare…”

He tried to plead for mercy, but he couldn’t make it in time, as Xiao Yang’s flying sword thrust straight through his chest, leaving a gaping hole.

The middle-aged man could never have imagined he would die here.

The other four disciples were in utter panic, turning to flee.

But it was too late.

Xiao Yang’s flying sword flashed in the void several times, and one disciple from Guiyuan Martial Sect lost his head, another was cut in half.

A third disciple’s upper body was shredded into blood mist by Xiao Yang’s flying sword.

The fourth disciple was cleaved in two by the same attack.

The air was thick with the smell of blood.

Xiao Yang stepped forward, crushing the barely alive sword master beneath his foot, sealing his fate.

On the distant hill, Qin Fei laughed, taking great pleasure in the chaos.

Because the five who had just been killed were from the Chu family of Guiyuan Martial Sect.

Especially the middle-aged man, who held a certain rank within the Chu family—he was not comparable to the ordinary cultivators there.

This time, could Chu Guiyuan remain calm?

Qin Fei felt quite pleased with himself.

This was all part of his scheme.

He wanted to drag Chu Guiyuan down with him.

“The grand show is about to begin. Xiao Yang, this time you surely can’t escape death. Qingyang Sword Sect and Guiyuan Martial Sect will become enemies because of this, and chaos in the Northern Lands will begin from here.”

Qin Fei grinned at Xiao Yang in the cemetery.

If he could kill Xiao Yang, that would be best.

If he couldn’t, Xiao Yang would have formed a deadly rivalry with Guiyuan Martial Sect.

Within Guiyuan Martial Sect, neither the Gui family nor the Chu family would let Xiao Yang go.

Moreover, he had already dispatched someone to lure the Sect Holy Son, Chu Guiyuan, here.

Calculating the time, Chu Guiyuan should be arriving soon!

At this moment, more people appeared outside the cemetery.

Qin Fei was overjoyed, but when he saw the newcomers, his excitement turned to disappointment; they were not Chu Guiyuan, the Sect Holy Son of Guiyuan Martial Sect.

Where the hell was that Chu Guiyuan guy?

These people weren’t part of his plans at all.

……

“Xiao Yang…”

Just as Xiao Yang was about to collect his grandfather’s remains, a stern voice came from outside.

Looking up, he saw a figure walking in from outside the cemetery, silhouetted against the morning light.

A powerful aura surged from this person, as if he was merging with the surrounding天地, and with each step he took, his presence soared immensely.

He seemed as if he was driving the very heavens and earth to suppress Xiao Yang.

“Divine Martial Realm?”

Xiao Yang coldly regarded the incoming figure.

This person was truly a formidable Divine Martial Realm expert.

The figure’s appearance bore a slight resemblance to Gui Teng, but he was on a whole different level.

“Are you the one who killed my useless brother, Gui Teng?”

The figure swept the surroundings with a gaze, glaring at Xiao Yang.

“Hmm, Chu Wei and Qi Xuan both died by your hand. Impressive skills!”

The figure spoke coldly.

Despite the imposing presence, Xiao Yang remained calm and unruffled.

“Without a bit of skill, how could I kill them?”

Xiao Yang met the figure’s gaze head-on, unafraid.

A mere mid-stage Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator didn’t fear his aura?

The figure was surprised.

“Now you shall understand.” I am Gui Yijian, Gui Teng’s brother. You killed my brother and now my Guiyuan Martial Sect disciples. Even if you are the Sect Holy Son of Qingyang Sword Sect, you must die today!”

Gui Yijian fixed his cold gaze on Xiao Yang, asserting himself with a deep, angry shout.

At that moment, three more figures burst in from outside the cemetery.

They were Liu Xiaotian, Liu Ruhui, and Gui Jianren.

“Haha… Xiao Yang, today is your day of demise.”

Gui Jianren boasted.

“Xiao Yang, the enmity of killing my son can’t be overlooked. I will shred you to pieces today.”

Liu Xiaotian glared at Xiao Yang, gritting his teeth.

“Dare to kill my elder brother? After you die, I will have all the men from the Xiao family executed and the women sold to brothels to serve customers. Hahaha…”

Liu Ruhui laughed triumphantly.

“You all must die!”

Xiao Yang coldly glared at the people in front of him.

Today, he was planning to unleash a massacre.
