Chapter 1988: Chapter 1993: Kill Without Mercy!

Qingqing was very confident.

On this journey, she had seen the old woman make a move twice.

She had blasted back two Nascent Soul Mid-Stage cultivators.

As for those Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, as long as they slightly sensed the aura on the old woman.

They would all clasp their fists respectfully, not daring to have the slightest improper thought.

Xia Liu gave a knowing smile, then clasped his fists respectfully and said, "Then I’ll have to trouble Senior."

"Young friend, no need to be so polite. To avoid unnecessary casualties, we should leave here quickly, otherwise we might draw Sha Tongtian and the others over."

The old woman was not afraid of trouble.

She simply did not want the innocent people in the town to be dragged into the battle.

When a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse made a move and fought to the peak, there would be no life left for a hundred li around.

"Sect Master! Right here! Eldest Senior Brother and Junior Sister were crippled right here! And the other party carries twin swords on his back; he may be the wanted criminal!"

Just as Xia Liu was about to respond and leave together with the old woman.

An excited voice came from outside the inn.

Through the window, one could see a large group of cultivators roaring toward the town from outside.

Each of them held a sword in hand, ready to enter combat at any moment.

The one at the very front looked no more than middle-aged.

But his aura made people involuntarily take a few more looks.

Golden Pill Mid-Stage Realm.

In the past, when facing a Golden Pill Mid-Stage cultivator, Xia Liu might still have weighed his options.

But now, with his Energy Body enhanced, his fleshly body enhanced, his State of Mind enhanced.

He was fully capable of instantly killing a Golden Pill Mid-Stage.

As the Heaven-Destroying Sect cultivators stepped into the town.

The cultivators and mortals in the town all fled the scene at extreme speed.

Immortals battling—none of them wanted to be gravely injured for no reason.

The inn’s guests and the shop’s staff all fled.

The whole town was left with only Xia Liu’s group and the Heaven-Destroying Sect cultivators.

The Heaven-Destroying Sect cultivators surrounded the entire inn.

Sect Master Wu Xie led two Golden Pill Early Stage Elders with a cold face, stepping steadily up to the inn’s second floor.

"Carrying twin swords, aura unclear, called Xia Liu—are they talking about you?"

As for Qin Li and Xiao Yuan’s matter, Wu Xie had long thrown it to the back of his mind.

He now only wanted to know whether the young man before him was the wanted criminal!

"So what? Planning to capture and kill me?"

Xia Liu responded without fear.

"Hahaha! Truly, to find you without any effort at all! Today I’ll capture you and deliver you to the Sha Family to collect my reward! If you resist, beware of having your Energy Body completely destroyed!"

Wu Xie burst into wild laughter.

If he captured Xia Liu and delivered him to the Sha Family, he could obtain a High-Grade Spirit Art!

As well as thirty thousand Supreme Grade Spirit Stones.

Many people did not know that the Sha Family had spoken again: if one could bring Xia Liu to their estate, they would additionally bestow a Low-Rank Spirit Artifact.

Once this news came out, all major powers were in an uproar.

Spirit Artifacts!

No matter the Tier, they could not be compared to Magic Artifacts.

It was equivalent to directly gaining an extra Lifebound Dharma Artifact.

This kind of heaven-sent fortune was something cultivators below Nascent Soul Stage could not refuse!

As for the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators within the Baichuan Realm.

Their search for Xia Liu had also reached a frenzied level.

What they valued was not the Sha Family’s reward.

But the Treasure on Xia Liu!

Besides the Extreme Cold Flame, there was also a High-Grade Spirit Artifact!

As well as the various Divine Skills he displayed!

Xia Liu was simply a walking humanoid treasure trove; no one could remain unmoved!

"Destroy my Energy Body?"

Xia Liu smiled knowingly; sure enough, there were still many naive people who thought that what Sha Tongtian could not do, they might luckily accomplish.

"Young friend, do you need my help?"

The old woman asked.

"No need to trouble Senior. Since I’ve appeared, I should give them a bit of a deterrent!"

"Hmph! Ignorant brat! Let your grandpa here take you down!"

Wu Xie drew his sword, activating his Golden Pill Mid-Stage Energy Body, and the whole inn immediately shook.

It seemed on the verge of collapse.

With the old woman’s protection, Qingqing did not feel the slightest discomfort.

The two of them sat calmly in their seats, sipping tea, not even bothering to pay attention to Wu Xie.

Their Divine Sense and their gazes were all focused on Xia Liu.

This fellow was only at Foundation Establishment Peak strength; just how was he going to crush a Golden Pill Mid-Stage?

Buzz!

Just as Wu Xie began to exert his power.

Xia Liu suddenly stood up.

The Taiqing Sword on his back spun out, flying forth.

Seal Technique blessed it.

A desolate aura instantly spread over several li.

"At least a Supreme Grade Spirit Artifact!"

Seeing Xia Liu first display his Spirit Artifact, even the old woman could not help but exclaim in astonishment.

There was even a trace of evil intent stirring restlessly in her heart.

Fortunately, she suppressed it all.

"Taiqing Selfless Slash!"

Murmuring softly, Xia Liu flashed and appeared right in front of Wu Xie.

Sword Qi surged madly, Energy rolled over the eight desolations, a single move with Heaven-Shaking Might!

With his life threatened, Wu Xie immediately raised his sword to block in front of him.

At this moment, he had no other thoughts, only to withstand this one sword!

Clang!

With a heavy clash, there then came a crisp sound.

"Crack!!!"

Only to see the longsword in Wu Xie’s hand crack inch by inch, shatter inch by inch, crumble away piece by piece!

His Energy Body had already been protected by Spiritual Power earlier.

But before the Selfless Sword Energy, it was like tofu; the Sword Qi directly pierced through his body, striking precisely at the Golden Core in his Dantian.

At the instant his Golden Core shattered, Spiritual Power rushed out of Wu Xie’s body like lake water.

The inside of the inn was like an Immortal Realm.

The viscous white Spiritual Power rippled outward, continuously spreading in all directions.

Not giving Wu Xie any chance to counterattack.

Xia Liu formed a seal with one hand, and with a single move, sealed his Divine Sense again.

All of this was completed in but a split second.

By the time Xia Liu put away the Taiqing Sword, everyone present was still in a daze.

"Terrifying..."

After Qingqing came back to her senses, she could not help but breathe out in amazement.

Today was definitely the most inconceivable day she had ever seen in her life.

With Foundation Establishment Peak cultivation, Xia Liu had actually insta-killed Wu Xie, a Golden Pill Mid-Stage!

And even shattered his Dantian!

Using a Secret Technique to seal his Sea of Consciousness!

This was something Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators did not even dare to imagine.

The old woman sitting with her was also incomparably shocked.

But she quickly came to her senses.

If one used ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage or Golden Core Stage Realm to measure Xia Liu.

It was almost no different from childishness.

To escape under the eyelids of several Nascent Soul Stage cultivators—how could Xia Liu’s methods be simple, how could they not be terrifying!

Pointing at Wu Xie, who had fainted and lay on the ground, Xia Liu asked the two Elders of the Heaven-Destroying Sect, "Do you dare take a single step forward?"

Thud!

Before Xia Liu’s words had even fallen, the two of them were already on their knees.

He could instantly cripple Wu Xie’s foundation and shatter his Golden Core.

How could they possibly be a match!

"Go back and tell Sha Tongtian or the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators of the Baichuan Realm that this time, I, Xia, will remember this well. One day, I will visit them one by one!"

"We will strictly obey Senior’s command!"

The two of them did not have the slightest bit of temper left.

The strength Xia Liu displayed was so far beyond their reach that they did not even have the courage to Increase Strength.

"Senior, Fairy Qingqing, let us go."

"Mm."

After the old woman responded, she rose to her feet, but did not immediately go downstairs.

Instead, she said to those two Elders, "Young Friend Xia has a good temper and spared you. I’m different. Help me deliver a message to all cultivators in the Baichuan Realm: if any dare provoke Xia Liu again—kill without mercy!"

Kill without mercy!

The domineering words echoed for a hundred li around.

At the same time, an overwhelming pressure no weaker than a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage’s Peak Strength burst forth like a Thunderclap...
