163: Wu Zun attacked and killed, spanning a million miles with one hand

The “Buddha Slaying Edict” of the Tai Xuan Dynasty was like a giant rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a huge commotion across the entire Tianwu Continent!

Everyone couldn't understand why this newly established Imperial Dynasty had such great animosity towards Buddhism.

When the news reached the Western Regions, the Abbot of Little Thunderclap Temple was instantly enraged.

“Outrageous! This is simply outrageous!”

He furiously threw the intelligence report in his hand to the ground, his face, which should have been benevolent, now contorted with ferocity.

“A callow, yellow-haired brat, a newly established, tiny country, dares to provoke the might of my Buddhist Sect?!”

“Do they truly think my Little Thunderclap Temple is made of mud?!”

“If we can’t deal with a wandering Incinerator, then surely we can deal with an Imperial Dynasty that can’t run away?!”

He immediately issued an order.

“Pass on my Dharma Edict! Order Elder Du'e, the Head of the Discipline Hall, to lead ten Martial Emperors to the Eastern Regions immediately!”

“This Seat will make sure that the so-called Tai Xuan Dynasty is completely purified under the light of Buddha!”

… …

Eastern Regions, Yu Yuan Continent, Tai Xuan Dynasty.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.

Ying Ziliang, dressed in a profound black Dragon robe, looked at the secret report sent back by his scout, a cold sneer playing on his lips.

“A Martial Venerable, ten Martial Emperors?”

“This Little Thunderclap Temple certainly thinks highly of me.”

Beside him, Pavilion Master Ling Yixue, dressed in the Tai Xuan Pavilion Revered Master’s attire, also had a strong Battle Intent in her Phoenix eyes.

“Senior Brother, why worry?”

“We are all members of the Tai Xuan Sect, how could we be afraid of those bald donkeys?”

Ying Ziliang nodded, then a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

“Pass on my Imperial Edict! Effective immediately, the Tai Xuan Dynasty shall expand into the surrounding continents!”

“I want to incorporate the nearby continents into the territory of my Tai Xuan!”

He knew very well that only by continuously expanding, continuously strengthening the national power, and gathering more Imperial Dragon Qi, could he become stronger.

And on this very day.

Within the Tai Xuan Pavilion, an icy, bone-chilling Aura soared into the sky!

Within a hundred-mile radius, goose-feather snow actually began to fall.

Pavilion Master Ling Yixue, amidst this chaotic world, had accumulated deeply and finally broke through her Bottleneck, entering the Purple Mansion Realm.

Purple Mansion Phenomenon — Thousands of Miles of Ice Seal!

… …

The scene suddenly shifted.

Shi Nan Continent, Lichen Sword Sect.

In the market outside the Sect, two figures were walking side by side.

It was Li Huowang and Chen Ping'an, who had come down the mountain to procure supplies.

Just as the two passed through a secluded alley.

Danger arrived!

A dark shadow emerged from the shadows behind them.

The terrifying pressure of a Martial Venerable expert descended!

In the black shadow’s hand, a dagger, like a poisonous snake’s fangs, plunged straight towards Li Huowang’s back.

“Not good!”

A warning bell rang loudly in Li Huowang’s heart, and he was about to draw his Saber to block.

Too late!

How could the sneak attack of a Martial Venerable expert be resisted by a mere Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer cultivator like him?

He was about to lose his life here.

“Senior Brother, be careful!”

Chen Ping'an’s eyes were splitting with rage as he let out a roar.

He didn't even think, directly using his body to shield Li Huowang.

“Pfft!”

A soft sound.

The poisoned dagger fiercely pierced into his back.

“Courting death!”

Li Huowang’s eyes were bloodshot, looking like a madman!

He no longer held back in the slightest; his Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer magical power erupted, and the demonic Saber “Sorrow Severer” gifted by his Revered Master, carrying a supreme Saber Intent to sever all suffering in the world, swung back in a single strike!

Seeing that his attack failed and startled by Li Huowang's desperate Saber technique, the black shadow frowned slightly, momentarily forgetting that he was a Martial Venerable expert.

Just at this moment.

“Who dares to be so presumptuous in my Lichen Sword Sect!”

A thunderous roar echoed from within the Lichen Sword Sect’s mountain gate.

Sect Master Li Tian’s figure had already appeared at the alley entrance, his terrifying Martial Venerable Aura firmly locking onto the black-clad man!

“Hmph!”

The black-clad man snorted coldly, utterly unafraid, and launched a palm strike through the air at Sect Master Li Tian.

Boom!

Two equally powerful forces collided fiercely.

Shaking the surrounding houses with a buzzing sound.

The black-clad man used the recoil force to retreat a few steps, then disappeared into the distant sky.

Only a chillingly cold voice lingered in the alley for a long time.

“Next time, you won’t be so lucky.”

… …

An hour later.

Inside Su Qingxue’s Immortal Cave on Yujian Peak.

The black-clad Martial Venerable who had attacked Li Huowang and Chen Ping'an was kneeling on one knee, his expression respectful.

Su Qingxue looked at him, her usually aloof pretty face now filled with complexity and helplessness.

“Didn’t I tell you not to act?”

“Young Miss, please calm your anger!” The Martial Venerable said in a deep voice, “This subordinate merely couldn’t stand how arrogant those two brats were and just wanted to teach them a lesson!”

“A lesson?” Su Qingxue gave a bitter smile, “Do you know how much trouble your actions today will bring me?”

She remained silent for a long time, and finally, she waved her hand, her voice tinged with weariness.

“Forget it, you may leave.”

“Return to the Su Family. Do not interfere in this matter again.”

“Yes, Young Miss!”

The Martial Venerable bowed, his figure flickered, and he disappeared from the spot.

Su Qingxue looked in the direction he had left, letting out a faint sigh.

Hopefully, it’s not too late.

However, what she didn’t know was.

Just as that Martial Venerable had left Yujian Peak, and before he had even flown out of the Lichen Sword Sect’s range.

A terrifying giant hand, covering the sky and obscuring the sun, suddenly reached out from the torn Void Realm without any warning!

With one grasp, it firmly seized the Martial Venerable who was about to flee, like grabbing a little chick!

“No—!”

The Martial Venerable let out an extremely terrified shriek!

But, it was too late!

The giant hand clenched suddenly!

“Bang!”

A muffled sound.

A Martial Venerable expert, along with his Divine Soul, was literally crushed into a sky full of blood mist, right before the eyes of tens of thousands of Lichen Sword Sect Disciples!

The entire Lichen Sword Sect instantly fell into a deathly silence.

And Su Qingxue, hidden within her Immortal Cave on Yujian Peak, watching all of this, was already trembling violently, her pretty face deathly pale, fear consuming her entire being.

She knew that she… …

Had provoked an existence that she absolutely should not have provoked.
