69: The trump card is revealed, and you can enter the mystery in one step!

Then, he casually grabbed a Thin Horse Gate member and went to a dark prison, taking Bai Xingyu, Bai Luo's younger brother.

Before leaving, he unleashed several more bursts of Cán Xīn Sword Qi, eliminating all the Thin Horse Gate members who hadn't managed to escape.

As for the rest, Xu Xi couldn't be bothered. Perhaps he could return and report to Law Enforcement Peak, allowing those rule-abiding disciples to properly rectify the gangs within Xuanjian Sect territory.

"Brat! You killed a Thunderclap Pavilion disciple, and you think you can leave safely!"

"This old man wants to see just how strong your detached sword qi is, despite you not even being at Entering Profundity strength!"

Just as Xu Xi was about to leave with Bai Xingyu, a sudden, cold impact violently struck.

Accompanied by a thundering roar, Xu Xi instantly froze, unable to move from his spot.

A massive spiritual energy impact instantly washed over Xu Xi's body, inch by inch, making him unable to bear it. His bones fractured, and he crashed to the ground, spitting blood foam.

Moments later, a resolute figure appeared above Xu Xi's head. It was an old man with white robes and a white beard, floating majestically in the air, his expression indifferent, his eyes filled with killing intent. Behind him, a long spear was carried, exuding a vast and solemn killing aura, pointing directly at Xu Xi.

And behind the old man, a blood-soaked figure covered in injuries followed. It was Yi Zhusheng, the Thunderclap Pavilion disciple who had used his life-saving trump card to flee in disarray earlier.

Clearly, Yi Zhusheng had invited the Thunderclap Pavilion's protector Elder.

And to make matters worse, Xu Xi had been a few minutes too slow, unable to leave Tingfeng Valley. Otherwise, Xu Xi might have found a time window to escape back to Xuanjian Sect and use the sect's protective formation to contend with the old man before him.

But there are no "what ifs." If anyone is to blame, it's Xu Xi for liking stories too much...

"Old geezer, you're just relying on your age. If you give me half a month, you'll regret it."

Struck down to the ground, Xu Xi's heart trembled, the chilling sensation of death lingering. However, he couldn't make any movements. His lips struggled to open to unleash a verbal attack, but he lacked the strength, only able to curse inwardly.

"This person is definitely more than Entering Profundity; he is a Reaching the Profound expert!"

"Even a 隨行護道 Elder has already reached the eighth stage of Reaching the Profound. Tang Wan back then was probably of similar strength."

"It's a good thing I didn't antagonize them back then, or I would have died on the spot."

"Now, at least I still have the Revival Pill to use."

Constantly analyzing the current situation, Xu Xi, though infinitely close to death, still had a chance at survival.

And as Xu Xi was horrified, the Thunderclap Pavilion protector Elder made no move. He merely stared intently at Xu Xi, floating in mid-air, his entire aura locking onto Xu Xi, observing his subtle movements. A playful expression was evident on his face, clearly intending to play a cat-and-mouse game.

He was no different from his sect's prodigious disciple, Yi Zhusheng. One could only say that there was a reason why these people gathered in the same sect.

A sudden jolt of alarm struck Xu Xi's heart. His accursed sense of crisis intensified. He knew that the old geezer was watching him and not treating him as a human being.

However, Xu Xi, currently a fish on the chopping block, didn't care about these things.

The profound mysteries of the system were simply beyond what this old geezer could comprehend.

"Use it!"

After silently chanting in his heart, the Revival Pill was successfully used by Xu Xi.

Subsequently, his entire body was filled with spiritual energy. Warm energy repaired every inch of Xu Xi's skin, completely healing his previous injuries.

And the huge chasm between Spirit Forming and Entering Profundity was also crossed by Xu Xi in one step, the natural barrier instantly leveled.

Xu Xi entered the Entering Profundity in one fell swoop!

And with this power, even though he was fiercely suppressed by the old man's spiritual energy in the sky, Xu Xi could barely move now, struggling to get up from the ground.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, Drunken Sleep Sword was recalled to his hand.

Dark purple sword qi gathered at the tip of the sword, but this time, the Cán Xīn Sword Qi was different from before.

It didn't fire instantly but slowly condensed. Countless sword qi gathered at a single point, and the entire sky was enveloped in dark purple, as if to destroy everything.

"Old dog, you are very honored. Can you withstand the ultimate move of this Cán Xīn Sword Qi!"

His crimson teeth were stained with blood foam. After a roar, half of the frustration in Xu Xi's heart dissipated.

He had been holding back a surge of anger. This was the first time Xu Xi had been completely crushed since transmigrating, so he naturally wanted to vent thoroughly.

But Xu Xi also knew that the huge chasm between Entering Profundity and Reaching the Profound could not be bridged by a single ultimate skill.

With this move, Xu Xi only wanted the old man in the sky to know that he, Xu Xi, was by no means a soft persimmon to be easily manipulated. If he wanted to take him down, he would at least have to shed a layer of skin!

However, he was ultimately too young, too impetuous.

Having just arrived in this world, Xu Xi had never witnessed the full power of a Reaching the Profound expert!

Currently, the Cán Xīn Sword Qi had gathered to its peak state and was about to be unleashed.

Suddenly, the old man extended his left hand, and spiritual energy gathered at his index finger, then spread, dissolving the massive dark purple sword qi bit by bit.

In an instant, Xu Xi's Cán Xīn Sword Qi actually peeled away little by little, then dissipated into the world.

"Run!"

Suddenly, the sword qi dispersed. Xu Xi, through the system, was definitely the first to know of the anomaly.

He had only one thought in his mind, exactly like what Yi Zhusheng had thought before.

He fully unleashed his Startling Swan Steps, and after a massive spiritual energy infusion, he fled into the distance. The now Entering Profundity Xu Xi could also fly in the air, and his speed was only slightly slower than the old man chasing him.

"Breaking through from Spirit Refinement to Entering Profundity?"

"That's no ordinary method!"

"Boy, you have many secrets on you..."

"However... all of them belong to me now!"

Everything happened in an instant. Xu Xi's strength broke through from Spirit Refinement to Entering Profundity, followed by the unleashing of a massive Cán Xīn Sword Qi, which was then dissolved by the Thunderclap Pavilion Elder, all in a flash.

Seeing the sudden burst of power from Xu Xi, the Thunderclap Pavilion Elder couldn't help but be startled.

No wonder this brat Xu Xi could unleash detached sword qi. His sudden surge in strength, stepping into the Entering Profundity in one go, indicated that Xu Xi harbored great secrets.

Perhaps, those were secrets touching upon the Heavenly Human Realm experts.

Only that legendary realm would leave behind things that break the rules of breakthrough.

Thinking of this, the Thunderclap Pavilion Elder's heart couldn't help but burn with fervor again. Now, he had only one thought: to capture Xu Xi and then use soul-searching to plunder everything from him.

"Elder Zheng, wait..."

A weak voice came. Yi Zhusheng was also very confused at this moment. He had originally intended to ask the accompanying protector Elder for support, but he never expected things to unfold in such a way.

Yi Zhusheng was also greatly shocked and lost his composure. He had never imagined that Xu Xi could reach the heavens in one step, breaking through to the Entering Profundity.

No matter how Xu Xi achieved it, Yi Zhusheng knew that Xu Xi harbored a great secret, enough to drive everyone on the Xuan Yuan Continent mad.
