59: Chapter 58 The Terrifying Aspects of Invulnerability

By a pond somewhere. Xing Mu was fishing leisurely. Seeing Ye Xiu suddenly appear beside her, she was not surprised. Instead, she put away her fishing rod and spoke with some dissatisfaction: "That old man is still so long-winded after his promotion. Let's go, and see the worldly bustle in this Mortal World."

"The situation in Great Xia is a bit chaotic, haha... Why am I telling you this..." Ye Xiu shook his head. He took Xing Mu and left the manor, heading towards the place with the brightest lights.

Yanjing City was extremely bustling. The only difference compared to before the revival of heaven and earth was that the people in the city were mostly much younger. The increase in cultivation and the strengthening of their physiques had slowed down the passage of time significantly.

The prosperous streets were filled with neon lights. Originally, the mainstream commodities were still items related to clothing, food, housing, and transportation. But luxury goods had changed industries; in this era where Cultivators flew everywhere, people no longer considered gold, diamonds, or designer bags as luxury goods. Medicinal Pills, monster crystals, Cultivation Techniques, Martial Skills... these things related to Cultivate had become the luxury goods of this era.

Ye Xiu looked at some Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills. For ordinary Cultivators, they might be considered quite powerful. But in his eyes, these were all too ordinary. He heard from the boss selling the Martial Skills that the known Martial Skills on the market were divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. The best Heaven-Grade Martial Skills could only amplify one's own strength by one time. For an average Cultivator, this was already very strong.

After all, among the billions of people in Great Xia, there were perhaps not even ten thousand with special Bloodlines; basically, they all possessed the most ordinary Yanhuang Bloodline. Possessing a Heaven-Grade Martial Skill was enough for an ordinary Cultivator to fight across ranks. As for Cultivation Techniques, they were relatively scarce on the market and the prices were exorbitantly high. As for how effective they were, they probably only increased the Spiritual Qi absorption speed by a little over one time at most. Ye Xiu did not pay much attention to this.

For the rest of the time, the two of them ate, drank, played, and had fun to their hearts' content. It wasn't until late at night that Ye Xiu pulled the somewhat unsatisfied Xing Mu back to the manor. In the following days, the three assassination teams were all studying battle plans.

Ji Family main hall. Elder Pavilion.

"The military's invitation likely has an ambush."

"The Yao Family is too reckless. The election of council members requires the review of the Cabinet Speaker, and our people cannot get in," the Grand Elder sighed.

"Since it's already done, there is no need to dwell on it; the current situation is still favorable."

"Clan Chief, should we call Ji Xingyue to accompany you?" The Grand Elder was still a bit worried.

"It's fine. This time the military invited all three major families simultaneously. I know Sikong Tianwen's temper; the high probability is that it's just a protest or a show of deterrence," the Clan Chief said dismissively.

"There is news from the military that all the Martial Practitioners supported by the nine cities have gathered at Sikong Tianwen's residence. This must be guarded against."

Upon hearing this, the Clan Chief's brows furrowed slightly, but due to his confidence in his own strength, he still didn't take it seriously.

"Old Six recently had a Breakthrough to the Void Imperial Realm. Notify him later to accompany me to see Sikong Tianwen's performance."

Such meetings were taking place simultaneously in the three major families. The Clan Chiefs of the three major families were all figures from the same era as Sikong Tianwen. In their speculation, the military did not yet dare to truly fall out with the families that had religious support.

Yanjing border war zone. In the command room, Sikong Tianwen looked at the three screens with a solemn expression. The three major Family Clan Chiefs had all arrived and were being received separately.

"Seal the city. Anyone who dares to cross the border will be treated as guilty of treason and killed on the spot."

"Prepare all missiles, calibrate them to the three great Daoist sects. If any Cultivator comes out of the mountains, attack directly, no approval needed." Order after order was issued. The sect leaders of the three great Daoist sects soon received the military's notification. Feeling the pressure from the heavy weaponry, everyone fell silent. They did not take the final step of breaking with the military.

Boom. In the border war zone, terrifying battle fluctuations erupted. Sword Qi soared into the sky.

"Have they started already?" Ye Xiu looked at the Sword Qi rushing into the sky, and without wasting words, he directly unleashed his Bloodline energy. With one Arrogant Gaze, he blasted directly towards the reception camp area.

Boom. The blood-red light illuminated the heavens and earth. A hundred-meter-large mountainous area was instantly blasted apart. Two figures soared into the sky. They flew out of the explosion area with some uncertainty and alarm, and before they could even check, they saw three people charging directly at them.

"Old Six, retreat." Ji Family Clan Chief Ji Xuan waved his hand, setting up a space barrier, and with one step, he had crossed several miles. But how could Ye Xiu let him leave? With a stride, he had instantly caught up.

Ji Xuan frowned slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. Instantly, several space blades condensed and formed, blasting towards Ye Xiu.

"Hmph, ignorant." The Martial Domain aura covered his whole body. Ye Xiu directly ignored the space blades slashing over at high speed. After kicking the space barrier in front of him to pieces, Arrogant Gaze condensed in his hand once again. Looking at Ji Xuan, who was using his hands to block, Ye Xiu sneered.

Boom. Second-stage burst. Under the eight-fold strength amplification, Ji Xuan showed a look of horror and hurriedly used the space rules to divert the force. But even so, with a thud, he was blasted into the ground by the powerful explosive force, smashing out a huge crater of several hundred meters.

"So fierce?" Li Antong and Dongfang Qing, who had caught up, saw this scene and immediately showed expressions of horror. From the few days of getting along, they knew Ye Xiu was very strong. But to crush the Ji Family Clan Chief—wasn't that too exaggerated?

"Don't just stare, leave this guy to you." Ye Xiu was extremely fast; after kicking the charging Ji Family Elder away, blade light condensed in his hand. He descended towards the large pit below at extreme speed.

Crack... Space was shattering. Ji Xuan was shocked; there was actually someone in this world who could ignore the constraints of rule power. Even his own space rules were still as if they were non-existent.

Whoosh... The blade light, slashing down at extreme speed, tore through the air, creating a series of sparks. Swish... Ji Xuan opened a space jump. He dared not continue fighting against such a fierce person. There was no way to fight. The space rules, which had the strongest offense and defense, could now only rely on space jumps to escape.

"Want to leave?" Ye Xiu had no intention of letting Ji Xuan go. The blade light dissipated. He followed closely behind Ji Xuan's figure, punching again and again, bombarding the space techniques being cast.

Boom. Boom... The terrifying sound of air explosions was continuous. The injuries on Ji Xuan's body were worsening; he was being beaten so badly that he didn't even have the chance to activate a space jump.

As a Dao Cultivator of the third grade of the Void Imperial Realm, the Ji Family Clan Chief who had mastered space rules was definitely among the top ten in all of Great Xia. Yet, under Ye Xiu's Immunity to Ten Thousand Laws aura, he was beaten until he was extremely wretched.

"Little brother, if I die here, do you know what will happen to Great Xia?" Ji Xuan was completely terrified. The space techniques that could suppress most rules were, in the eyes of the opponent, like paper, unable to play any offensive or defensive role. This was too terrifying. This Martial Practitioner before him—except for some Cultivators who specialized in physique, no one could probably exchange blows with him.

Ye Xiu did not speak. Seizing the opportunity of Ji Xuan speaking, he blasted another Arrogant Gaze right to his face.

Boom. The Arrogant Gaze under the second-stage burst was boundlessly terrifying. Ji Xuan could not dodge in time and had half his body blasted away directly. But even so, Ji Xuan still did not die.

"Grand Space Jump..." With a sorrowful roar, space trembled. In just an instant, a hundred-meter-large space gate had condensed and appeared. Inside the gate, it connected to another world.

"A space gate?" "It's the Clan Chief..." "Quick, support the Clan Chief..." Dozens of high-level Cultivators soared into the sky, rushing rapidly towards the space gate.

"Support? Ridiculous." Ye Xiu watched all this coldly. With a flash, he blocked directly in front of Ji Xuan's retreat. "Your use of space rules is smoother than Ji Xingyue's, but it's a pity you met me."

Crack... Ye Xiu smashed his fist onto the huge space gate. Immediately, this incredibly magical space technique shattered rapidly like glass.

Inside the gate, the Cultivators still rushing over were furious. In their final line of sight, the Ji Family Clan Chief, Ji Xuan, who was recognized as the number one among the families relying on space techniques, was actually blasted to pieces by a young man, punch after punch, until he exploded into a mist of blood.
