284: Su Xiaobai, dead?

"How is this possible?!"

Both the people of the Lianzhou Alliance and the Linglong Merchant Guild widened their eyes in shock.

"Xuan... Xuan Daozi is actually injured! Su Xiaobai is only at the First Realm, how can he unleash such a powerful attack?" The Li Family Ancestor looked on in disbelief.

Suddenly, he realized that Su Xiaobai had held back during their fight; otherwise, if he had gone all out, the Ancestor would likely have been in grave danger.

With the strength Su Xiaobai was now displaying, he was probably no weaker than Zhou Ba!

Water Lingtian's face flushed with excitement, "Fortunately, I had the Wisdom Eye to recognize talent, or else such a brave Son-in-law would have slipped away from me, hahaha!"

He laughed uproariously, his eyes filled with triumph as he looked at the people from the Lianzhou Alliance.

Especially when he looked at Zhou Ba, he even showed disdain, as if saying: 'Your trashy great-grandson isn't even worthy of a single leg hair of my Son-in-law. How dare he try to marry my daughter? Go eat shit!'

Zhou Ba's face twitched with anger. If it weren't for Su Xiaobai's identity, he would have truly wanted to smash Water Skinflint's stinking face to a pulp right then and there.

Compared to the shock and excitement of others, Shui Yanling clasped her hands tightly, her eyes filled with deep worry and heartache.

"Xiaobai is injured. Is he alright...?"

At this moment, both Su Xiaobai and Xuan Daozi stood up again.

They stood facing each other, a gentle breeze rustling their clothes.

The air was silent; no one dared to speak.

Xuan Daozi remarked with emotion, "The imperial court truly produces talented individuals. Lord Su's strength is extraordinary, truly worthy of the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard position.

If this humble Daoist hadn't relied on my Realm advantage, then in the previous battle, this humble Daoist would surely have lost."

"You have good judgment. I like people who speak the truth!" Su Xiaobai secretly chuckled to himself, while on the surface he shook his head with a solemn expression:

"Senior Xuan Daozi, there's no need to belittle yourself. To reach the First Realm, Senior's talent and perseverance are clearly evident.

The match isn't over yet. There's still one last move. Please, Senior, make your move."

"Good!" A hint of admiration appeared in Xuan Daozi's eyes as he warned, "This last move is this humble Daoist's lifelong understanding of the Dao of the sword, and it has never been displayed before others until now.

Its power is something even this humble Daoist cannot estimate. Even Lord Su's Qi Yun Divine Dragon just now would absolutely not be able to withstand it."

"No matter. That move just now was also an impromptu one for me, not my strongest attack. You can make your move without hesitation." Su Xiaobai raised the Xuanyuan Sword, ready for battle.

Xuan Daozi: "..."

Do young people nowadays not even bother to think before spouting nonsense?

With his strength at the First Realm, he could only unleash the level of power he just displayed at his strongest. Why bother trying to look strong when he wasn't?

But so be it. Since Su Xiaobai insisted, he wouldn't talk about martial ethics.

"...Then, Lord Su, forgive me for the offense!"

Xuan Daozi flew into the air again, his fingers forming hand seals as fast as lightning, then constructing mysterious and complex formations around his body.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Immediately, the people below felt their swords in their scabbards being pulled by some force, starting to wildly agitate, seemingly wanting to unsheathe themselves.

"What's going on? My sword seems to be disobeying me. Wait, it's sending me a message... What?! You want to sever our master-servant relationship?!"

"No, no, you can't! I spent hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones to buy you!"

But he couldn't refuse. The longsword unsheathed itself and flew towards Xuan Daozi.

"No!!!"

Chirp chirp chirp!

It wasn't just him; others experienced the same phenomenon.

Except for Supreme Realm great experts who could suppress their weapons with their powerful strength, no one below the Supreme Realm was spared.

Longswords severed their master-servant relationships with their owners, then flew towards Xuan Daozi like fawning dogs.

There were thousands of people below, and some even carried several weapons. In total, tens of thousands of sharp swords flew towards Xuan Daozi.

The scene was truly spectacular.

Su Xiaobai's expression was more serious than ever. He could feel that Xuan Daozi was currently in a Concept, the Concept of the Dao of the sword.

If it weren't for the Xuanyuan Sword possessing extremely high sentience and a deep bond with him, even it would probably have rebelled.

"In that case, I must also go all out!" A hint of Battle Intent appeared in his eyes.

He raised the Xuanyuan Sword, holding it in front of him, its tip pointing towards the sky.

He slightly closed his eyes, injecting the power of Luck into the Xuanyuan Sword. The ancient carvings on the sword glowed brightly, and a heavy, ancient aura suddenly emanated.

"Strange? Do you feel hot?"

"I didn't notice until you mentioned it, but it's true! I'm already sweating profusely from the heat."

"Look quickly, why has the sky turned red! It looks like it's on fire!"

Everyone looked up at the sky, then their eyes widened abruptly.

A Golden Crow spread its fiery red wings, its entire body emitting high temperatures that distorted the air, scorching the sky crimson.

Gulp ~

Someone, no one knew who, swallowed hard.

"What kind of bird is this? Why does it look so terrifying?"

"I don't know, never seen it..."

Chirp!!!

As everyone was talking, the Golden Crow let out a sharp cry, its sound echoing for a hundred li.

Cracks tore open in the sky, and destructive fire lotuses emerged from the fissures.

The fire lotuses had not yet fallen, but the terrifying high temperature was already enough to incinerate everything in the world.

It was as if the end of the world had arrived.

"He... how can he still use such a powerful ultimate technique? Is he really only at the First Realm?!" Zhou Ba looked at Su Xiaobai as if he had seen a ghost.

He wasn't surprised that Xuan Daozi could continuously use powerful ultimate techniques; the opponent was a veteran First Realm expert, naturally possessing many trump cards.

But Su Xiaobai was just too overpowered!

The power of this attack made even him, a top expert who had just entered the Late Stage, tremble!

The others were even more terrified. Under Su Xiaobai's move, they had no thought of resisting.

But at the same time, a strong sense of interest surged in their hearts: Could he defeat Xuan Daozi?

On one side, ten thousand swords were ready to strike; on the other, destructive fire lotuses. Who would prevail?

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Xuan Daozi and Su Xiaobai moved simultaneously.

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin!"

"Golden Crow Raging Sun Technique!"

Ten thousand sharp swords, imbued with Xuan Daozi's extreme Sword Intent, shot towards Su Xiaobai like a rain curtain!

High in the sky, the Golden Crow let out a cry, its wings sweeping downwards, and the destructive fire lotuses plummeted directly towards Xuan Daozi!

Rumble!!!!!!

The two top ultimate techniques collided, and powerful energy aftershocks swept out in all directions.

Wherever they passed, rivers evaporated, mountains shattered into dust, and all living beings within a hundred li were annihilated into ashes.

The scene at this moment vividly illustrated the saying: When immortals fight, Mortals suffer.

Fortunately, this was a cultivation world, and people had extensive experience in fleeing disasters. After seeing the Lianzhou Alliance's vast forces approaching the Linglong Merchant Guild, they knew a great battle was about to happen and quickly packed their belongings and fled.

Otherwise, this battle would have resulted in heavy casualties.

"Quick! Quickly reinforce the protective barrier! The protective barrier is about to shatter!!" Someone exclaimed.

Only then did everyone snap out of their shock, seeing the shattered protective barrier, their faces immediately filled with terror.

"Damn!" After cursing, they immediately poured their Qi into the protective barrier without stopping.

The terrifying residual power swept for nearly twenty minutes.

No one dared to go forward and check the scene inside. The remaining violent spiritual power inside was enough to severely injure a Void Soul Realm expert.

After an unknown period, the smoke and dust slowly dispersed, and the situation inside gradually became clear.

Everyone looked inside intently, each holding their breath, not daring to utter a word.

On the battlefield, two completely different types of land were presented.

One side was engulfed in raging fire, scorched crimson.

The other side was filled with sharp swords, like a Sword Tomb.

Xuan Daozi lay in a deep pit, his body charred black, and one could even smell a burnt odor.

He was completely naked, like a black stick. If it weren't for a faint vital sign, people might have thought he was already dead.

Everyone's gaze turned to Su Xiaobai, then their eyes suddenly narrowed.

Shui Yanling even fell to her knees on the spot, as if frozen.

On the other side of the battlefield, Su Xiaobai knelt on one knee, propped up by the Xuanyuan Sword, his head bowed.

His body was pierced by numerous sharp swords, and dripping blood stained his clothes, his figure tragic and desolate.

He no longer had any vital signs...
