537: Chapter 537 Five Swords Drawn Simultaneously

“Hahaha,” Liu Tianci laughed loudly, taking a step forward, “How audacious!”

He turned to Liu Qingtian, “Clan Chief, let me experience his methods.”

Liu Qingtian frowned, whispering a reminder, “Be careful. He came prepared; it’s not that simple.”

“Heh,” you smiled, “No need to make it so difficult, all of you come at me together!”

You weren’t being arrogant; you knew the power of the fifth form of the immortal slaying sword.

With the fourth form, you could kill a Body Integration Peak expert, let alone the fifth form.

Although it was only at the introductory level, you had the xuantian treasure mirror, which could speed up your spellcasting, making up for the shortcomings of the beginner stage.

Even if the power you invoked wasn't enough, it was more than sufficient to kill these people.

“Humph,” Liu Qingtian snorted coldly, “What big talk!”

He looked at the two rows of people on either side, finally resting his gaze on Liu Suifeng, “You go check on Jinfeng first.”

Liu Suifeng could no longer hold back; he nodded heavily, moved his body, landed beside Liu Jinfeng, and squatted down, looking at his daughter.

Liu Jinfeng lay in the ruins, covered in blood, her Qi barely a thread.

Liu Suifeng reached out, wanting to embrace her, but his hand trembled violently, suspended in mid-air, unable to fall.

A suppressed sob escaped his throat, tears blurring his vision, “Feng’er… Father has wronged you… I shouldn’t have been so strict with you since childhood…”

At this moment, he looked as if he had aged thousands of years, white hairs sprouting at his temples, and wrinkles on his face as deep as if carved by a knife.

With trembling hands, he finally pulled his daughter into his arms.

Liu Jinfeng moved her lips, her voice as faint as a mosquito, “Fa… ther… you were right… it’s only because your daughter’s strength was insufficient… unable to protect…”

Before she could finish, she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood that flowed from the corner of her mouth, down her chin, staining her clothes.

Liu Suifeng trembled all over.

He looked down at his daughter’s face, at the blood at the corner of her mouth, at her slowly closing eyes.

His heart felt as if it had been clutched, twisting with pain, making it impossible for him to breathe.

“Feng’er, rest assured.” His voice changed, hoarse and inhuman, “I won’t let you die.”

He took a deep breath, placing both hands on Liu Jinfeng’s back.

The power within his body slowly flowed into his daughter’s, like a trickling stream, nourishing her parched Meridians.

“No… don’t…” Liu Jinfeng spoke with difficulty, trying to struggle but unable to move.

Just then—

The color of heaven and earth suddenly changed.

Liu Suifeng looked up, his pupils reflecting a scene that would forever be etched in his memory.

He was stunned.

An ominous thought, like a flash of lightning, streaked across his mind.

“immortal slaying sword?”

His voice trembled, each word seemingly squeezed from his throat, carrying unconcealed despair.

This sight was all too familiar to the high-ranking members of the Liu Clan—

From five directions, five beams of light shot into the sky.

immortal slaying sword (Metal), with golden light stretching for ten thousand miles, unstoppable.

immortal slaying sword (Fire), with raging red flames, burning all things to ash.

immortal slaying sword (Wind), with green light like a blade, tearing through the Void Realm.

immortal slaying sword (Ice), with eerie blue light, freezing everything.

immortal slaying sword (Thunder), with flashing white light, thunderous and mighty.

The five immortal slaying swords hung in the five directions of heaven and earth, their five-colored lights intertwining, dyeing the entire sky a vibrant hue.

The sword bodies flowed with five Origin powers—the sharpness of Metal, the intensity of Fire, the swiftness of Wind, the chill of Ice, and the fury of Thunder.

The radiance grew stronger and stronger, the sword bodies expanded, instantly transforming into colossal swords ten thousand zhang tall, like five giant pillars supporting this heaven and earth.

Immediately after, the Power of the Great Dao was stirred, descending with a roar.

An area of a million li instantly froze.

The wind stopped.

The clouds stopped.

Even the dust hung in mid-air, motionless.

Space was cut, Spiritual Qi was drained, the Void Realm was sealed, and Law submitted—

This piece of heaven and earth seemed to be forcibly peeled away from the Immortal Realm, becoming an independent world.

You stood with your hands behind your back, suspended in the sky, looking down at everyone, your gaze as indifferent as frost.

“Five Elements Life and Death Sword Array.”

Your voice was not loud, yet it clearly reached everyone’s ears.

“Slay.”

Before the words finished—

The scene within the array changed drastically.

The invisible Law of Fire surged, its fierce flames burning everything to ash.

The invisible Law of Metal, like a golden mountain pressing down, struck with immense force.

The invisible Law of Water, like a raging flood, with giant Dragons surging.

The earth cracked, fissures devouring all things.

Wild winds howled, grinding fragments into dust.

The power of the Five Elements generated and countered each other, endlessly, boundlessly.

Within the sword array, all power was yours alone.

Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, at your command.

Law Power, under your control.

Life, at your whim.

Death, you decide.

Liu Qingtian looked up at the five swords, his face ashen.

He could no longer feel Law Power.

Those powers that he once wielded like his own arms were now as if clamped by an invisible hand, utterly motionless.

Within this sword array, he was utterly helpless.

His lips moved, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Liu Xuanyin was rigid, his pupils reflecting the sea of fire, unmoving.

Those Liu Clan members of lower Realm were still desperately trying to invoke Law Power.

But it was useless.

A power far exceeding their level surged from all directions, enveloping them.

“No—!”

Someone looked down, watching their own hand begin to dissipate.

Not shattering, not exploding, but dissipating—

From the fingertips, little by little, turning into specks of light.

“Is this… Power of the Great Dao?”

Before the words finished, his arm was also gone.

Then his legs, his body, his chest.

He watched himself disappear inch by inch, wanting to shout but unable to make a sound.

Wanting to escape, but unable to move a step.

Finally, only a head remained suspended in mid-air, its mouth still agape, but no sound could be emitted.

Liu Tianci looked down at his own hand.

He, too, began to dissipate.

First his fingers, then his palm, then his wrist.

He smiled, without struggling, without wailing.

“Hahaha…” His laughter echoed in the Void Realm, “What joy in life, what fear in death?”

Amidst the laughter, his arm dissipated, his shoulder dissipated, his chest dissipated.

His voice grew weaker and weaker, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

“In the next life… I will still be a Liu Clan member!”

As his words fell, his entire being transformed into countless specks of light, dissipating between heaven and earth.

Next was Liu Xuanyin.

On his pale face, a long-lost smile appeared.

The smile was faint, as if he had seen through life and death, as if he had let go of everything.

“My Liu Clan…” he whispered softly, his voice growing fainter, “Our Bloodline may be cut, people may die… but the soul of the Liu Clan will never be extinguished.”

As he finished his last word, his entire being turned into a wisp of green smoke, dissipating in the wind.
