Chapter 4: Heaven-Defying Techniques, Devouring Martial Soul

hat rained down onto the sea like blood..."Over a hundred bloodthirsty vampire bats, all...all of them were killed by him with one strike!"Mu Ling'er was shocked beyond words, her heart trembling. The...It's your fault!

Just when the crowd thought Wang Xuan couldn't hold on, the teenager's calm voice rang out.

Whew!

Wang Xuan slapped out with one hand, his speed wasn't fast at all, it was just a random slap.

The Wang family's disciples were speechless. If they could really hit the target with a slap, they wouldn't have to cultivate martial arts anymore.

Buzz!

A slap that might seem harmless to an outsider, at this moment, meant something entirely different to Wang Yan!

His vision blurred, Wang Yan was horrified to discover that the one he had attacked was not the former wastrel, but a peerless killing god who had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and blood.

"How is that possible!"

An overwhelming terror descended, engulfing her mind. Facing the boy who had been so calm and collected moments before, she now saw a demonic figure, slaughtering everything in its path. His immense power shocked her, causing her blood to run cold, her limbs to stiffen, and her swordsmanship to falter...

Slap!

A resounding slap sent Wang Yan tumbling head over heels, smashing onto the ground with a thud. Her entire face swelled up, bleeding profusely.

" "

The crowd stood frozen, silent as tomb.

Did he really slap Wang Yan

"What a joke, Wang Yan is at the third level of the Profound Element Realm! To be defeated by the young clan leader with the Soul Condensation Ninefold Fan"

"That's strange, I definitely can't beat Wang Yan. There must be something wrong somewhere"

Wang Yan had already cultivated the Flying Cloud Sword Technique to a masterful level, yet there was a slight hesitation in her movements. Perhaps she was letting her original master have some fun.

“Are you saying that Wang Yan is despicable and deliberately made Wang Xuan slap her”

After a brief silence, the Wang family members surprised everyone by sharing their viewpoints.

"Damn it... Damn it... Damn it..."

These two words reached Wang Yan's ears. She, who was lying on the ground, almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

Wang Xuan kicked Wang Yan.

"Demons cultivators are more loyal than all of you."

Wang Yan hugged her head, curled up, trying to get as little of the teenager's feet on her buttocks as possible. A strong feeling of humiliation caused her to scream: "Little brother, help me!"

He was stunned, wondering why his sister was still letting the arrogant Wang He get away with it. Suddenly, he came to his senses.

Could it be that the elder sister let Wang Xuan slap her, not because she was truly addicted to being humiliated

"Wang He's face turned furious: 'Wang Xuan, you are looking for death!'"

Wang Xuan has lost his power, there is no need to consider him any further.

"Whoosh!"

Drawing the sword from his back, he lunged at Wang Xuan with a swift and deadly strike.

"Take this sword! Dragon-Breaking Heaven!"

"Well, the name of the sword technique is quite impressive."

Wang Xuan chuckled and shook his head.

A powerful killing intent once again permeated, descending within a meter radius around him.

Phew.

In an instant, Wang He also resembled his sister. Seeing the usually calm and collected Wang Xuan transformed into a terrifying demon lord, he was struck by immense terror. The imminent threat of life and death shook him to his core, causing his qi and blood to stagnate, and his sword technique faltered.

Slap!

Wang He was also slapped hard by Wang Xuan, knocking him down and sending his teeth flying. His face swelled up like a pig's head.

The expressions of the Wang family members were utterly captivating.

"The whole family is together."

Wang Xuan stepped on the two siblings, smiling faintly.

Compared to murder, hurting someone's heart is more terrifying.

He had seen countless grand scenes in his past life. Some martial arts masters, with a single thought, could suppress the weak by their own majesty, forcing them to kneel and offer no resistance.

Might makes right!

And he was the son of a Demon Emperor in his past life, so he also cultivated some pressure.

This pair of siblings, the King Bird and the Crane, willingly became slaves to others, even behaving like weeds on a wall, their minds wavering. Faced with his pressure, they were all too easy to be manipulated.

Given Wang Yan and Wang He's current cultivation levels, their martial souls are passable, but the most crucial factor is that Wang Xuen never skimped on resources to help his siblings cultivate.

Wang Xuan once truly regarded the two people as his own elder sister and brother.

Having betrayed people, the siblings immediately turned against each other after Wang Xuan's downfall.

"Wang Xuan, are you really going to turn the world upside down!"

Suddenly, a deep voice of an elder echoed from the distant night sky.

Immediately following was a surge of powerful martial energy that came with astonishing speed, arriving in an instant.

At that moment, everyone saw a figure rising into the air outside the courtyard. With one step, it spanned thirty meters and landed directly from above the crowd into the courtyard.

Wang Xuan frowned slightly.

This is a gray-robed old man with long, gray hair. His eyes are deep-set, his hands and feet are long, and his features are somewhat similar to Wang Ya's.

The Elder Wang Family.

"Oh no, oh no, I actually alarmed three elders!"

"Wang Xuen is really done for this time!"

"Big brother, is that all you can say"

“......”

Listening to the hushed murmurs of the crowd, Mu Qingyue frowned, worry clouding her eyes.

"Children of the family, fighting amongst yourselves. Don't you want to live anymore"

Three Elders, renowned for their powerful martial arts prowess, entered the ward. Their formidable aura spread throughout, dominating the entire scene.

"It was Wang Xuan who was wrong first! He broke the clan rules, not only killing Granny Li but also wanting to kill me. I beg the three elders to rule for me!" Wang Lang cried urgently.

The Elder's face grew increasingly cold as he looked at the young man in white. He was slightly surprised, having actually cultivated martial arts

Wang Ya showed a smile and pointed at the old woman's corpse on the ground: "Wang Xuan openly committed murder within the family, extinguishing humanity. Everyone can testify, he deserves to be executed!"

The Third Elder tapped his cane, his gaze on Wang Xuan becoming sharper: "Do you know the severity of your crime Even I cannot protect you."

Wang Xuan: "You bet"

"Good." The Elder Three laughed and waved his hand. "Take him captive and bring him to the execution platform."

Splash!

A group of tribal guards rushed into the hospital.

"He is the grandson of the old chieftain, you cannot kill him!"

Mu Qingyue hurriedly blocked in front of the young man.

After executing Wang Xuan, they also captured his wife and executed her!

The Elder Three spoke coldly, with his eyesight, he clearly saw that this woman still maintained her purity. It was a good deal for his grandson.

The clansmen drew their swords and surrounded Wang Xuan.

"Execute me, is that not laughable"

Wang Xuan, however, stood calmly with a tranquil expression.

Remember, I am still the young master of the Wang family. My status within the family is no weaker than that of an elder. Are you going to defy the family rules

A group of guards suddenly hesitated, unsure whether to approach.

According to ancestral precepts, the position of the young clan leader is indeed not weaker than that of an elder. In the Wang family, only the Supreme Elder and the clan chief have the qualifications to judge the young clan leader.

The Elder Three are unworthy.

"I've been keeping a low profile these past few years, have you all forgotten I'm the one to inherit the chieftain position Dancing pretty lively, aren't you"

Wang Xuan stared straight at the Three Elders.

This old man has always wanted his grandson to become the new heir of the clan, naturally viewing Wang Xuan as a thorn in his side.

Wang Ya's surprise attack last night wasn't entirely due to the allure of beauty, but mostly because he couldn't wait to usurp the throne.

The Third Elder's face was cloudy and uncertain: "But you killed someone!"

Wang Xuan smiled faintly: "I went undercover to confirm that the old poison woman and her family members colluded and harmed the village. That's why I took action to kill them."

Wang Ya's face twisted with anger: "How can you be so...shameless"

Wang Xuan: "Nonsense, there's no point in arguing. You two just want to be the head of the family, don't you"

"Who said we wanted to be" The Third Elder hurriedly said, his old face flushed.

Wang Xuan smiled and looked at Wang Ya: "I'll give you a chance. In a month, dare you climb the Stage of Life and Death to fight me If you win, I will abdicate."

He enjoyed reading widely. He once read an essay about how Emperor Ming, one of the Nine Great Emperors, used a procrastination-like method when he was young.

Wang Ya sharply inhaled, stared at the young man, his eyes flickering: "Fight me You're not even qualified!"

"Dare you" Wang Xuan said with an air of calmness.

"Haha."

Wang Ya burst into laughter, for this was the biggest joke he had ever heard in the world.

"Good! Good! Good!" Wang Ya gritted his teeth, nodded with a cold gaze: "Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish. However, a month is too long, we will have our final showdown in ten days!"

Wang Xuan's eyes were cold: "Sure."

Wow!

The entire courtyard erupted in an uproar, the onlookers incredulous.

To face the final battle

The family has been around for decades and there has never been a life or death duel.

The moment one steps onto the platform of life and death, it will be a battle to the finish!

"Is he capable of martial arts expansion, to actually dare challenge Wang Ya"

"The Earth Devourer! Wang Ya's awakened martial soul is the Earth Devourer, his earth-based martial arts are profound and unfathomable!"

"It's rare to see Wang Ya make a move, and I don't know how strong his martial arts are now."

"I think Master Wang Xuan isn't necessarily going to lose."

"Tsk, what a lovestruck fool. Two years of devotion and not even a thank you in return. Sigh~."

"Well, well, it's sure to be interesting in ten days..."

Wang Ya sneered, glanced at Wang Xuan once, and left with the three elders. They walked out of the courtyard.

Elder San transmitted his voice, "Why fight"

"This is the best chance for me to become the young chieftain. There's no reason to refuse." Wang Ya's eyes were cold and sharp.

The Elder Three's face showed concern: "Ascending to the Realm of Death is a legitimate way to eliminate that little wretch, but I feel he's different..."

"Does Grandpa not have faith in me" Wang Ya didn't care at all, brimming with confidence in his martial arts: "If I weren't in the crucial stage of breaking through to the ninth level right now, I could already go on stage and crush him."

"What You're going to reach the ninth level of the Profound Element Realm!" The three elders were both surprised and delighted upon hearing this: "Good, good! You truly are my grandson!"

Wang Ya: "This advancement was quite bumpy, I'm afraid it will take a lot of resources."

"Rest assured, I will mobilize the entire family to support you!"

In the courtyard, as the three elders left, the other members of the Wang family also left one after another.

Some people shake their heads, some people look forward to it, but basically everyone is not optimistic about Wang Xuan winning the life-and-death battle a month later.

How is it possible for someone with the cultivation level of a Soul Condensation Realm to defeat Wang Ya in ten days

As everyone left, the courtyard returned to its former tranquility.

Wang Xuan let out a soft sigh and turned to look at Mu Qingyue's pale arms, where whip marks were clearly visible. "It must have hurt," he said.

Hearing the young man's sincere concern, Mu Qingyue's eyes widened in confusion.

Because he could cultivate martial arts, his personality also improved, and he became more caring.

The food is in the pot.

Mu Qingyue uttered a soft word and walked out of the courtyard with her lotus steps.

She understood that Wang Ya was equally vulnerable, but having cultivated for so long, her husband's chances of winning were slim.

Mu Qingyue didn't say much, not wanting to discourage the young man.

Wang Xuan was taken aback and couldn't help but laugh and cry. Besides saying she wanted to eat, she didn't say anything else to Wang Xuan.

It's getting dark, what are you going to do

"Go to the fabric shop."

Mu Qingyue's pale face held a look of weariness.

Wang Xuan was silent, the three elders did not dare to confront the youngest clan leader openly. However, behind his back, they had already cut off his resources.

"From now on, don't work anymore. I'll figure out the living expenses. Go back to the house and rest."

Do you have a way

Seeing the young man blocking her way, Mu Qingyue's water-like eyes couldn't help but blink in surprise.

"Cough, don't you believe I can make money Although I wasn't a human before, I was an animal, but there's a saying, "The prodigal son returns home," right" Wang Xuan laughed.

Mu Qingyue's pretty face showed a slight hesitation, and she nodded her head: "Alright, I can't gamble anymore."

"No more," Wang Xuan said, his expression momentarily startled.

Before Mu Qingyue gave the prodigal money, she would always remind him like this, and the prodigal also promised her so.

As Mu Qingyue walked back to her house, her long legs were straight and alluring, her round and raised buttocks rippling gracefully, leaving behind a pure and tempting figure that was hidden by the wooden door.

"Cough."

Wang Xuan's mouth overflowed with a trickle of blood.

He had finally entered the martial arts world, and with his Soul Condensation Realm he barely managed to withstand a blow from Wang Lang's Profound Origin Realm. In fact, he was already injured, but someone had been supporting him beforehand.

"The Soul Condensation Realm is just the foundation, also known as a Martial Cultivator. Wanting to defeat Wang Ya in ten days is indeed delusional..."

Wang Xuan wiped away the blood.

Ten days are too tight!

His first time cultivating martial arts, though he rose to the ninth level with unstoppable momentum, it was all thanks to his profound soul.

To advance to the Profound Element Realm is not so easy.

Wang Xuan looked at the corpse of the old woman beside him. She was an example, stuck forever at the ninth level of Ninghun, unable to enter Xuanyuan.

The realm of martial arts is extremely difficult to break through!

"First treat the injuries, if all else fails, pick up your old trade."

Wang Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes and meditating.

If he had no choice, he didn't want to refine poison easily anymore because harming others is first harming oneself.

In his past life, he was neither human nor ghost, a miserable existence. In this new life, he hopes to forge a different path.

'Buzz~'

Just as I was thinking, a sudden change occurred!

A stunning scene appears!

Wang Xuan was shocked to discover that above his head, a pitch-black vortex appeared out of thin air.

A slowly rotating vortex, emanating an enigmatic vibration. At its center lies a darkness so profound it's almost tangible, imbued with an unparalleled sense of mystery and the unknown.

Wow!

Something incomprehensible happened. The old woman's corpse suddenly burst forth with streams of blood, energy, and life essence. Even her gray whip-shaped spirit soul was drawn into the pitch-black vortex by an inexplicable force.

In an instant, Wang Xuan's body trembled violently. Pure and unparalleled martial energy surged into his body, impacting his dantian, causing his martial aura to rise miraculously...en flame arrow had lost its target."Leave it to me." The boy's cold voice rang out, and Wang Xuan turned back.At this time, within his sea of souls, the power of the Wujizi Heavenly Book was surging,...
