Lingxiu watched as the robed figure struck with a terrifying power, as if intending to obliterate Xu Yan. Her face turned pale, her eyes filled with panic, as she looked toward her master.

“Master!”

However, her master remained seated with an unperturbed expression, showing no intention of stepping in.

Xu Yan’s expression was grim. He thrust his sword forward, its Sword Qi roared like thousands of rivers surging fiercely, clashing against the incoming palm strike.

However, even with the aid of the majestic Sword Intent, his attack seemed insignificant compared to that horrifying palm strike.

The gap in their levels was too great.

The power of the man in the black robe was clearly beyond that of an ordinary Great Grandmaster.

Boom!

Xu Yan then unleashed a palm strike of his own. A golden giant dragon with open eyes and immense aura charged forward.

Descending Dragon Palm!

Boom!

The Golden Giant Dragon exploded forth with unrivaled force, charging straight at the descending palm imprint.

Rumble!

The man in the black robe’s gaze hardened. His palm strike failed to eliminate the young man as he had intended.

Midair, the terrifying palm imprint shattered.

The Golden Giant Dragon also vanished, and the surging Sword Qi collapsed and disappeared.

The residual force from that palm strike hit Xu Yan from midair and sent him crashing down.

Into the courtyard!

“Senior Brother!”

Startled, Lingxiu quickly rushed over to help him.

Xu Yan quickly got up, slightly embarrassed but uninjured.

Looking at the robed figure in mid-air, he said solemnly, “I am not his match. If I had fully mastered the Innate Realm, maybe I could’ve had a chance at defeating him!”

At this moment, he discarded his contempt for the Inner Realm Martial Arts.

The Inner Realm Martial Arts are not entirely useless.

The power of a Great Grandmaster is so formidable that even his Descending Dragon Palm’s third level and his comprehension of dragon aura and Sword Dao were not enough to defeat the opponent.

“A prodigy like you coming from nowhere is beyond my expectation. It’s hard to find a second Grandmaster in the Inner Domain who could withstand my palm strike and survive.

“Moreover, a young Grandmaster like you…I fear such a one may not be found again.”

The man in the black robe spoke with an icy tone, his killing intent palpable and his aura surging with an even more formidable oppression, as if a divine wrath was pouring down from the sky.

“No matter how prodigious you are, you will die today. You leave me no choice, for you should not have gotten involved with certain individuals.”

Rumble!

Midair, a dreadful force burgeoned.

A gigantic palm seal, far more frightening than before, was revealed.

Xu Yan showed no fear. He was not the man’s match, but his master was there with him.

“A reclusive coward like you, what are you strutting around for?”

Xu Yan responded contemptuously.

Li Xuan rose from his chair and said, “My apprentice, I’ve always taught you to humble yourself and be patient. Do you understand now?

“Just because the Inner Realm Martial Arts are weak, you cannot despise everything else. You should know that you are merely a beginner on the path of Martial Arts and there are countless warriors far stronger than you.

“As a Martial Artist, the biggest taboo is pride and complacency, the biggest error is underestimating one’s opponent. No matter what kind of enemy you face, always proceed with caution.

“When killing an enemy, even beheading them may not guarantee their death.

“Remember this, when killing an enemy, obliterate their bones, scatter their ashes, erase their spirit, leave no chance for survival, and never give the enemy even a sliver of a chance to escape.”

Ignoring the black robed man’s intimidating presence and formidable momentum, Li Xuan started to instruct his disciple earnestly.

Xu Yan, Meng Chong, or even Lingxiu, all were young and hot-blooded. Their strength increased and they felt that the Inner Realm Martial Arts were too weak, leading them to look down upon others, becoming careless and complacent.

Many powerful individuals met their end due to underestimating their enemies and being careless.

Thus, he needed to make his disciples understand the importance of being cautious.

To kill your enemy, you must turn them to ashes. Only thus can you truly ensure that your enemy is dead.

Never give the enemy, not even a shred of an opportunity to survive!

Even if the enemy appears weak and is less powerful than yourself, one must still be cautious and never underestimate them, to prevent oneself from capsizing in a ditch!

Xu Yan and Meng Chong listened respectfully. Lingxiu let out a sigh of relief. Was their master finally going to step in?

Should she finally feel safe now?

“From ancient times, the strong have fallen to the weak due to underestimation and carelessness. The strong, overconfident, were often assassinated by the weak.

“My apprentices, remember this, never hesitate to completely annihilate any enemy, no matter how weak they may be. Never give them even the slightest chance of survival.

“The pride of a martial artist isn’t in looking down on the weak, but in taking every enemy seriously. Only a martial artist who knows how to turn his enemies to ashes is a true martial artist.”

Xu Yan and Meng Chong listened attentively, their expressions respectful and serious.

Besides, their master is imparting his experience in Martial Arts. This is a rare opportunity.

Building upon such invaluable experiences, only then can they establish themselves in the realm of Martial Arts and make a name for themselves.

“Yes, Master. I will bear this in mind!”

Xu Yan respectfully replied.

“I will bear this in mind!”

Meng Chong followed suit.

“I… I’ll remember.”

Lingxiu said timidly.

The enemy above, was targeting her.

She felt uneasy because she had troubled her master and senior brother.

The man in the black robe mid-air, his eyes glimmered with a chilling light. Was that young man standing down there the master of the fellow who was fighting just now?

How could that be possible!

He seemed only a few years older than them!

Moreover, he didn’t resemble a Great Grandmaster at all.

Since Li Xuan wasn’t using any mysterious aura, but rather restraining his power, the black-robed man couldn’t sense any signs of a powerful individual from him.

“Ignoring a Great Grandmaster, what punishment does that deserve? Today, I will scatter your bones and ashes!”

The man in the black robe spoke indifferently..
