749: You are about to die, yet you still dare to be arrogant?

"..."

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently and walked forward, stepping upon the raging flames.

"Xie Weilou!"

At this moment, a cold, chilling voice suddenly rang out. A ferocious Sword Qi erupted, instantly locking onto Xie Weilou, causing even the flames to tremble.

"Hmm?"

The crowd's gazes sharpened as they quickly looked in one direction.

They saw a maid steering a flying boat, upon which stood a young man dressed in white robes with seven Ancient Swords strapped to his back.

"A Prodigy of the Myriad Sword Holy Land, Seven-Sword Yuan Haoran! It is rumored that Yuan Haoran Cultivates the Great Dao Haoran Sword and has vaguely touched the threshold of the Cultivation Stage."

"Did Yuan Haoran just call out 'Xie Weilou'? The person in front is also surnamed Xie. Could he be that ruthless Xie Weilou who stole items from the Longevity Saintess and killed people from the Myriad Sword Holy Land?"

"It must be him! Our judgment has never been wrong. It's a good thing we didn't speak up and offend that ruthless man."

The crowd looked at Xie Weilou with faces full of astonishment.

During this period, several peculiar young people had appeared in the Eastern Wastelands.

One was Xie Weilou, who also called himself Xie Wushi; he had stolen things from the Longevity Saintess, slaughtered members of the Myriad Sword Holy Land, and killed the Little Sword King, inciting the Sword King's rage and leading to the issuance of a wanted order.

Another was the Demon Monk Wuxin, an evil and strange monk who was extremely ruthless. All the major Holy Lands had sent people to hunt him down, yet they could do nothing to him.

The other was the ruthless Fu Eight Desolations.

He was a Heavens Proud Son of the Fu Family, and it was said that he had defeated the Zhou Tian Holy Son and, together with the other two ruthless figures, had crushed the Longevity Holy Son and the Pure Yang Holy Son.

At this moment, they had finally seen one of these ruthless figures!

The Sword King had issued a wanted order and offered a generous reward, but who would dare to act rashly?

Someone capable of remaining unscathed under the pursuit of the Myriad Sword Holy Land was clearly no ordinary person.

Xie Weilou looked at Yuan Haoran and smiled indifferently: "My friend, is something the matter?"

Boom!

Yuan Haoran moved, instantly appearing on the surface of the lake, causing the water to tremble and flames to surge.

He stared fiercely at Xie Weilou: "Xie Weilou, I am Yuan Haoran of the Myriad Sword Holy Land. My Senior Martial Uncle is the Sword King. You killed members of our Myriad Sword Holy Land, and now it is time for you to give an explanation."

His Senior Martial Uncle had previously ordered that anyone who discovered this person's whereabouts was to kill him on sight.

Several Elders had previously mentioned that this person had been chased into Guangyin Ridge. They had assumed he would surely die, but they hadn't expected him to still be alive.

That was fine, too. Today, he would eliminate this person on behalf of the Sword King and restore the reputation of the Myriad Sword Holy Land.

A mere ant, a mayfly trying to shake a tree, daring to provoke the Myriad Sword Holy Land—he was simply courting death.

Xie Weilou laughed dumbfoundedly: "One who possesses Vast Righteous Qi should Cultivate their character and nurture their nature. To be so ferocious suggests you have not yet truly cultivated the Vast Righteousness."

"Silence!"

Yuan Haoran's eyes turned sharp, and killing intent erupted from his body: "As a man on the verge of death, what qualifications do you have to critique me? Today, I shall slay you here with the Haoran Sword."

As he spoke, he took a step forward, and Vast Righteous Qi erupted. The seven long swords on his back flew up, hovering above him. Sword Qi surged, incomparably domineering.

"Interesting!"

Xie Weilou's smile did not fade. With a wave of his hand, the Tianya Sword appeared before him: "Haoran Sword Qi, This Xie also understands a little. Today, I will teach you the true meaning of 'Vast Righteousness'."

"Facing death, yet still so arrogant?"

Yuan Haoran's tone was chilling. With a wave of his large hand, the seven Haoran swords, carrying terrifying Sword Dao Principles, slashed instantly toward Xie Weilou.

Hum!

The Vast Righteous Qi covered the heavens and earth, capable of resisting evil spirits and suppressing malevolent entities.

The seven strands of Sword Qi, ten thousand meters long, tore through the surface of the lake, stirred up vast oceans of flames, shredded the heavens and earth, and were filled with ferocious might.

"Heh!"

Xie Weilou reached out and grasped the Tianya Sword, and an even more terrifying surge of Vast Righteous Qi exploded forth.

Bang!

Those seven strands of Sword Qi were instantly shattered, and the seven long swords were knocked away.

"Vast Righteous Qi? He actually also possesses Vast Righteous Qi?"

The crowd looked at Xie Weilou in astonishment.

They were not surprised that Yuan Haoran knew the Haoran Sword, as he cultivated the Great Dao Haoran Sword.

They had not expected that this Xie Weilou also possessed Vast Righteous Qi; it seemed not the least bit weaker than Yuan Haoran's.

"Haoran Sword Formation!"

Seeing this, Yuan Haoran raised an eyebrow and quickly formed hand seals.

The seven long swords shot out again, embedding themselves in seven positions around Xie Weilou, forming a Haoran Sword Formation.

Rumble!

The flames shook and erupted continuously, merging with the Vast Righteous Qi, making the power of the sword formation even more ferocious.

"Great Dao Haoran, kill!"

Yuan Haoran shouted coldly, his aura surging as he poured it frantically into the sword formation.

Hum!

The sword formation whirred into action, ten thousand strands of Haoran Sword Qi erupted, stirring up vast oceans of flames, and bombarded Xie Weilou frantically.

"..."

Xie Weilou gripped the Tianya Sword tightly, directly channeling his Vast Righteous Dao Principles, and the Vast Righteous Qi on his body surged ten thousand times over in an instant.

Clang!

A dark gleam flashed in Xie Weilou's eyes. As the Tianya Sword was unsheathed, a ten-thousand-meter-long beam of Haoran Sword Qi burst forth, instantly slashing in all directions.

Boom!

The Haoran Sword Qi swept through, striking the sword formation. The seven long swords were instantly snapped, the sword formation collapsed, and waves of fire raged, sending flames soaring into the sky.

"Not good..."

With his long swords shattered and the sword formation destroyed, Yuan Haoran suffered a backlash and spat out a mouthful of blood.

As the Sword Qi struck, he immediately summoned an ancient defensive shield to block it, but he was still knocked back dozens of meters.

"Damn it!"

As Yuan Haoran retreated, he let out an angry cry.

He truly couldn't understand why this damn fellow also knew Haoran Sword Qi.

However, he had no time to think about that now. He immediately produced a sword talisman and prepared to activate it. This sword talisman contained peerless power; once unleashed, it could destroy everything in its path.

Unfortunately, Xie Weilou would not give him that chance.

Swish!

Xie Weilou threw it casually; the scabbard turned into a lingering streak of light, instantly piercing toward Yuan Haoran.

The scabbard was like lightning, instantly piercing through Yuan Haoran's forehead, and a spurt of blood gushed out.

"Ah..."

Yuan Haoran let out a miserable scream, his Divine Soul cracking, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Die!"

Xie Weilou's voice suddenly rang out beside his ear.

"..."

Yuan Haoran's expression was filled with fear; he instinctively tried to crush the sword talisman.

Just as the jade talisman was about to be crushed by him, the Tianya Sword had already shattered the ancient shield and swept across his neck, imbued with terrifying Vast Righteous Dao Principles and Thunder Dao Principles.

With a thud, Yuan Haoran's head flew high into the air, blood spraying out like a water jet. The Thunder of Annihilation invaded his body, frantically wreaking havoc.

Boom!

An explosion rang out, and Yuan Haoran's headless body was directly blasted into a mist of blood by the Thunder of Annihilation.

Xie Weilou stabbed backhand; the Tianya Sword pierced through the head. Sword Qi raged, and with a shake of the sword, the head exploded into dust.

Yuan Haoran, dead!

Xie Weilou reached out, the scabbard flew into his hand, and the long sword returned to its scabbard. He casually put the Tianya Sword away.

"..."

The crowd looked at Xie Weilou with dull, stunned expressions.

Yuan Haoran, a Gui Xu Mid-stage powerhouse, was just slaughtered by him like that?

This guy was indeed a ruthless person. It was a good thing they hadn't spoken out to mock him earlier.
