Chapter 144: Chapter 119: Longevity Sect Returns—Strike Them No Matter How Far!

Seeing this, Li Changqing also felt a tremor in his heart. That Flowing Cloud Hand from outside looked very powerful, stirring the void, evolving into floating clouds, suppressing a whole region with tens of thousands of palm imprints.

Will you be okay?

Xue Qianbai won’t just die like that, will he?

Gravely injured and surrounded by so many masters, some of whom were grandmaster-level experts of Innate Great Perfection.

Li Changqing was pondering whether he should step in to save Xue Qianbai.

After all, Xue Qianbai is the Vice Sect Leader of Mountain Ancient Land of Dao Mountain.

His own son was also cultivating at Mountain Ancient Land. If he saves Xue Qianbai now and maintains a good relationship, having Xue Qianbai’s protection in Mountain Ancient Land later would make things smoother, wouldn’t it?

Though thinking this way, Li Changqing still felt a bit terrified.

The opponent was an expert at the Great Perfection Realm!

Could he even defeat them?

Since arriving in the Cangyuan Realm, the strongest opponent Li Changqing had faced was probably Li Jingsong.

If Li Jingsong was at his peak, he could definitely rival someone of Innate Great Perfection Realm, but Li Jingsong’s level had regressed to that of a High-Level Painter; in terms of combat power, he was at most at the pinnacle of Innate Perfection.

But this was a genuine grandmaster.

It would be bad if he couldn’t win and instead got counter-killed.

Li Changqing hesitated internally.

But eventually, Li Changqing gritted his teeth forcefully. Damn it, for the sake of his son’s future, he had to give it a try!

Xue Qianbai was only gravely injured. Maybe he and Xue Qianbai together could kill this grandmaster. Even if not, he could escape using Sword Control, and Old Demon Xiang definitely wouldn’t catch up.

As they say, fortune favors the brave.

Take the gamble!

Li Changqing raised his head sharply, ready to act, but when he looked ahead, he was dumbfounded.

In just the few breaths he hesitated, the situation had dramatically changed, a scene before him he couldn’t believe.

The heads of those six black-clad innate experts were neatly flying off!

Dead on the spot!

They didn’t even see when Xue Qianbai drew his sword and just died under it.

Seeing Old Demon Xiang, one of his arms had vanished, spraying blood like a pillar.

A moment later, Li Changqing heard a clang, and it was the long-lost arm falling and hitting the eaves right in front of him.

As for Xue Qianbai, he still stood there calmly, as if he hadn’t moved, his breathing still steady.

With his long hair dancing in the wind and backed by moonlight, his cold aura blended even more into the land.

Under the moonlit night, Xue Qianbai looked like an exiled Sword Immortal, his Sword Intent so fierce it was frightening.

Li Changqing was truly shocked. What exactly happened just now?

How did so many people die suddenly, and that Old Demon Xiang, wasn’t he a grandmaster-level expert of Innate Great Perfection?

How did Xue Qianbai cut off his arm in the blink of an eye?

Could this mean that Xue Qianbai had already reached the pinnacle of Innate Realm?

Old Demon Xiang took two steps back, his face paler than paper. Not just Li Changqing, even as the person involved, he had no idea what had just happened; his arm was simply gone.

"The name of Thousand Snow Sword Venerable truly is not undeserved." Old Demon Xiang said through gritted teeth, clutching his severed arm: "Before I came, someone advised me not to court death, told me not to provoke you, Xue Qianbai. I thought he was just trying to scare me, but it turns out I was too conceited!"

"Over the years on the blacklist, many bounty hunters have tried to kill me. Emperor Blade Xu Cong, Crazy Fighter Gu Wanxing, these two famous grandmasters both died at my hands. I’ve even escaped from two grandmasters teaming up, leaving them helpless against me! Never did I think I’d fall to you, Xue Qianbai, today."

Xue Qianbai seemed to have no intention of continuing to converse with Old Demon Xiang. He raised the Thousand Snow Sword in his hand, ready to finish off Old Demon Xiang mercifully.

"Wait!"

Old Demon Xiang suddenly spoke: "Can I ask you a question? Killing me after I get the answer won’t be too late."

Xue Qianbai squinted his eyes: "Speak."

"You should have already stepped into the pinnacle of the Innate Realm, right? Otherwise, how could I be defeated by one sword?" Old Demon Xiang stared at Xue Qianbai, asking.

"I have not yet stepped in." Xue Qianbai shook his head.

Hearing this, Old Demon Xiang was momentarily stunned, then showed a bitter smile.

If Xue Qianbai had already reached the pinnacle of the Innate Realm, he could still feel somewhat comforted in being defeated by him. Yet, Xue Qianbai hadn’t stepped into that realm.

He was only at the Innate Great Perfection level.

The same realm as himself.

He prided himself on being a master, with the Flowing Cloud Hand dominating the Cangyuan Realm, thinking that within the realm of grandmasters, he was unbeatable. Even if someone could defeat him, it wouldn’t happen in less than three hundred moves.

Little did he know that he couldn’t even fend off a single sword from Xue Qianbai of the same realm.

No wonder Xue Qianbai has the title of Thousand Snow Sword Venerable.

Holding the eleventh-ranked Divine Weapon, yet no one dares to take it.

"If that’s the case, then I have nothing left to say. Do it." Old Demon Xiang slowly closed his eyes, accepting his fate.

"Had you not joined the Longevity Sect, had you not associated with the Ghost Race, for the sake of your ancestor Xiang Yang of the Xiang family, I might have spared you today. But you’ve taken the wrong path and can’t turn back."

A trace of killing intent also floated in Xue Qianbai’s eyes.

In the next moment, Xue Qianbai thrust the sword in his hand, directly piercing through Old Demon Xiang’s throat!
