Chapter 246: You Cannot Escape Responsibility!

Murong Longcheng had never even heard of the Swordsmanship Yu Xian mentioned!

But he had to admit that Yu Xian’s set of Swordsmanship was formidable! Still, taking him down wouldn’t be an easy task.

Murong Longcheng’s movement flashed as he tried to close the distance for close-quarters combat, because he observed that Yu Xian’s Swordsmanship, much like the Six Veins Divine Sword, was only effective at long range; it couldn’t be fully utilized in close combat.

Yu Xian knew Murong Longcheng’s intention, and the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but curve slightly. Who said his Nine Revolutions Profound Sky Sword Technique could only attack from afar?

To complement the name Nine Revolutions Profound Sky, Yu Xian designed his Swordsmanship to have nine forms. The first form was a long-range attack, just like the Six Veins Divine Sword. The second form was a defensive mode he adopted when Murong Longcheng managed to get close.

Sharp Sword Qi enveloped Yu Xian entirely, resembling a chrysalis. Unless a gap could be torn open, it was impossible to injure Yu Xian inside the chrysalis! Moreover, if one rushed in carelessly, they would be injured by Yu Xian’s Sword Qi!

Murong Longcheng never expected Yu Xian’s sword moves could transform like this! He couldn’t break through this defense! And the Sword Qi surrounding Yu Xian was in no way weaker than when he attacked from a distance.

Fearing a sneak attack from Yu Xian, Murong Longcheng slashed out with his sword and then quickly pulled back the distance! This was because he felt close combat was far more dangerous than ranged combat!

Being unable to subdue a junior after a prolonged fight made Murong Longcheng anxious. The critical point was that Yu Xian knew all of his Martial Arts, and his skill level was no less than his own, yet Yu Xian’s Martial Arts were techniques he had never even seen!

This drove him nearly mad. Coupled with the fact that he had lived too long and was already in a state of nearly exhausted lamp oil, he fundamentally lacked the confidence to engage Yu Xian in a war of attrition!

“Young friend, regarding the Heavenly Venerate’s attack on Mount Hua, this old man truly knows nothing!” Murong Longcheng no longer wished to fight Yu Xian to the death!

Upon hearing this, Yu Xian dispersed the Sword Qi surrounding him. He knew Murong Longcheng had backed down!

“Hmph, even if you didn’t know, it was done by those under your command, so you cannot escape responsibility! Old Monster, take this! Let me show you the third form of the Nine Revolutions Profound Sky Sword Technique.” As Yu Xian spoke, the Gentleman Sword struck out again.

Murong Longcheng only felt a cold flash before him and instinctively retreated and turned to dodge. But as soon as he turned, another cold gleam flashed before his eyes. He wanted to dodge again, but he could already feel his life force rapidly draining away.

He could never have believed that someone could actually cut his throat.

However, the blood flowing from his neck prevented him from even voicing his final doubt.

“Thud!”

Murong Longcheng fell straight down from the air into Taihu Lake, becoming food for the fish.

The third form of the Nine Revolutions Profound Sky Sword Technique: Shadowless. So fast it was shadowless.

“Old Ancestor!”

As Murong Longcheng fell into Taihu Lake, the members of the Murong Family cried out in shock, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Their Old Ancestor, whom they viewed as an immortal being, had actually been defeated by the youthful Yu Xian!

Yu Xian paid no further attention to Murong Longcheng; a throat-slit was his consistent method of killing!

Holding the Gentleman Sword aloft in the air, Yu Xian coldly declared, “Kill without mercy!”

Ning Zhongze and the others on the boat had been restless since seeing Yu Xian win, especially Xiao Feng. Li Qingluo had already pointed out Murong Bo to him, and his primary target was Murong Bo! They were just waiting for Yu Xian’s order to attack!

As soon as Yu Xian’s voice fell, Xiao Feng took the lead, unleashing the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms”Soaring Dragon Regrets the Heavens’ strike toward the Murong Family members.

The Murong Family members were still in shock when they suddenly heard a Dragon’s roar. Two elders reacted swiftly, leaping toward the crowd to jointly channel their power to resist Xiao Feng’s palm strike, which possessed world-destroying might.

The two elders were also at the Peak Great Grandmaster cultivation level, but they couldn’t withstand Xiao Feng being at the Peak Great Grandmaster level. Both were sent flying back by Xiao Feng’s palm force.

However, they managed to shield the people behind them from the blow, buying the crowd time to react.

After the Murong Family members snapped out of their shock, they immediately entered a battle-ready state, preparing to meet the enemy.

It was just that they were stunned by the scene before them. They saw nine women fly out from the ship where Xiao Feng had been standing moments before. Each one was peerlessly beautiful, their robes fluttering, appearing like celestial beings, instantly dazzling everyone’s eyes.

But when the group of celestial maidens landed before them and drew their long swords, they finally realized these were no goddesses; they were Rakshasas, ruthless demons who killed without batting an eye!

The Murong Family members began to resist, but facing the group of women, almost all of whom were Great Grandmasters, they had absolutely no power to fight back.

Murong Bo faced Xiao Feng, as Xiao Feng’s target was clearly defined.

Murong Bo was at the Early Stage Great Grandmaster level. He shouldn’t have been afraid facing Xiao Feng, but upon engaging, he realized Xiao Feng was at the Peak Great Grandmaster level.

“Qiao Feng, we have no past grudges and no recent enmity. You are renowned alongside Murong Fu; why do you assist a tyrant and attack my Murong Family?” Murong Bo, knowing Xiao Feng’s might and that he was no match, immediately tried to persuade Xiao Feng.

“What a statement of no past grudges and no recent enmity! The massacre at Yanmen Pass thirty years ago—don’t think I don’t know you were the mastermind behind the scenes, part of your conspiracy to restore your kingdom! You caused my mother’s tragic death at Yanmen Pass back then, separating me from my father to this day. Murong Bo, today, I will make your Murong Family pay for this blood debt with blood!” After speaking, Xiao Feng unleashed the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms once more.

Murong Bo quickly used Shifting Stars, intending to send Xiao Feng’s Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms back.

However, he overestimated himself and underestimated the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms strike, albeit an enhanced version, delivered by a Peak Great Grandmaster! As soon as they clashed, before he could even activate Shifting Stars, he was directly blasted, shattering his internal organs; he couldn’t transfer the force at all.

“Pfft!” Murong Bo violently spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsing weakly to his knees, completely drained of strength, his life force rapidly draining away.

With just one palm strike, Xiao Feng shattered his internal organs, leaving him no path to survival.

Murong Bo’s eyes were filled with unwillingness. His great cause of restoration was not yet complete; the Murong Family could not be destroyed!

“Fu’er… run…” Murong Bo’s last words barely traveled a foot before his head dropped straight down, devoid of any life force.

“Father!” Murong Fu watched his father being severely wounded by Xiao Feng, and instantly, his blood surged. Ignoring everything else, he rushed toward Murong Bo.

“Father! Father, wake up! Wake up!” Murong Fu rushed to Murong Bo’s side, desperately calling out to him, but Murong Bo gave him no further response.

His father was dead!

The Old Ancestor was dead, and now his father was dead too! How could this be? Everything was fine just moments ago! They were still discussing the deployment plans for restoring the kingdom!

“Father!” Murong Fu cried out in grief, his eyes bloodshot, glaring fiercely at Xiao Feng.

“Qiao Feng! I want you dead! Ah!” Murong Fu gently placed Murong Bo down and then charged toward Xiao Feng, launching an attack.

Seeing Murong Fu’s reaction, Xiao Feng coldly snorted, “As if I would let you off the hook!”
