Chapter 212 - Reaching the Ninth-Level of the Spirit Cleansing Realm

This scene caught everyone by surprise.

“Wuxie, duck!” Xu Yilin’s scream echoed as he watched the crimson blade close in on Liu Wuxie, less than ten meters away. If Liu Wuxie didn’t retaliate, the blade would kill him.

“Master, duck!” Deacon Lan’s anxiety was palpable. He was clueless as to why Liu Wuxie had frozen in place. Could it be that Liu Wuxie was wounded?

Everyone in the surroundings was dumbfounded because Liu Wuxie was like a war god previously.

The Xu Clan’s guards clenched their fists so tightly that their nails dug into their palms. Yet, they felt no pain and bellowed, hoping to rouse Liu Wuxie.

Yuan Jun sported a savage grin, for none had survived his blade over the years. The crimson blade radiated a chilling aura, hovering just three meters from Liu Wuxie’s head.

In the nick of time, a white figure appeared before Liu Wuxie just when the crimson blade was about to descend. A powerful shockwave swept toward Liu Wuxie when the sword blocked the blade.

Sensing the heatwave, Liu Wuxie regained consciousness and saw a white figure smashing against him. He didn’t hesitate to catch the white figure.

Blood dripped out from Xu Lingxue’s lips as she was heavily injured, taking a full-blown attack from someone in the sixth-level Marrow Cleansing Realm. Xu Lingxue had made her move and blocked the blade, seeing that Liu Wuxie was about to be killed by the crimson blade.

“Why are you so silly?” Liu Wuxie took out a pill and fed it to Xu Lingxue. He even poured his true essence into her body to help her digest the pill. The impact from the crimson blade nearly destroyed Xu Lingxue’s internal organs.

Thanks to the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, Xu Lingxue had a powerful physique and was only heavily injured. If someone else were in her position, the blade would’ve killed them.

“I also have the responsibility to protect the Xu Clan.” Xu Lingxue smiled as she exited Liu Wuxie’s embrace with incredible difficulty.

Bi Gongyu hurried over and supported Xu Lingxue.

“Pavilion Master, take her inside the array!” Liu Wuxie’s gaze became colder. If it weren’t for Xu Lingxue, Yuan Jun would’ve killed him earlier.

“Wuxie, you have to be careful. There’s something weird about that crimson blade, and it can affect your mind,” Bi Gongyu said softly, warning Liu Wuxie to be careful.

Liu Wuxie nodded because he was nearly killed by it. His vision penetrated through the crimson blade when he executed the Ghost Eye, and his face became colder.

“You soaked your blade in the blood of newly born babies, extracting the strand of xiantian energy from their bodies. How dare you?!” Liu Wuxie said with boundless anger, reaching every corner. Check for new stories on novelbin(.)c0m

“What?! Did he soak his blade in newborn babies’ blood? How many babies did he kill for that sword?!” The crowd exploded into an uproar. They had seen crooks and villains, but they had never seen someone so evil to use the blood of babies to soak their weapons. Yuan Jun was no longer a human but a demon in their eyes.

Each newborn would carry a strand of xiantian energy with them, and Yuan Jun had killed at least ten thousand babies for the sake of his sword over the years. This was how his blade had turned crimson by absorbing blood.

“You’re wrong?” Liu Wuxie sneered and pointed at the corpses of the guards lying on the ground, “Can they come back to life if I spare you?”

The surroundings fell silent as they looked at the corpses on the ground. They were also someone’s son and father, but they were all killed. Shao Dongli’s apology couldn’t bring them to life, and it wouldn’t appease everyone’s fury as long as Shao Dongli wasn’t killed.

“Kill him, tear him into pieces!” A woman ran out, crying as she knelt before her deceased husband. The other guards also cried silently because their brothers and friends had left them.

Shao Dongli had despair on his face because he knew that he had no chance.

“I didn’t expect an expert in the sixth-level Marrow Cleansing Realm like me to die in the countryside like Azure Billow City.” Shao Dongli wore a desolate smile. His plan was flawless, but it all turned out to be a joke.

No one pitied Shao Dongli because he wouldn’t have died without coming to Azure Billow City. Since he chose this path, he could only blame himself for it.

When Liu Wuxie swung the Heretic Blade down, Shao Dongli’s corpse was reduced to a pile of skin. Flames swept out and incinerated it. Shao Dongli’s corpse and soul had disappeared without a chance to reincarnate because Liu Wuxie took everything from him.

After devouring so many experts, over ten thousand mysterious droplets of liquid accumulated in the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron. These droplets then flowed into Liu Wuxie’s dantian, triggering a surge of violent energy and causing his aura to ascend.

Merely three months prior, Liu Wuxie was regarded as insignificant. However, in the span of those three months, he had ascended to a level that many could only aspire to reach.

Large quantities of spirit stones exploded, and Liu Wuxie also consumed over a hundred fourth-grade pills. It took fifteen minutes before the aura he radiated calmed down.

As the members of the Xu Clan emerged from the array, their faces were not marked by excitement or cheer. Instead, they silently went about the grim task of cleaning up the corpses.

“From this day forward, I will take the descendants of the fallen guards as my adopted children and their families will be well cared for,” Xu Yilin’s voice echoed throughout the Xu Clan.

Suddenly, a cry rang out as someone knelt before the entrance of the Xu Clan. With a patriarch like Xu Yilin, those who had died had done so with honor.

Liu Wuxie returned to his courtyard, leaving everything else to his father-in-law. He greeted Bi Gongyu and told him to visit the next day as he had some matters to discuss.

He also didn’t join the dinner, and the atmosphere was tense as Xu Yilin, Yang Zi, and Xu Lingxue sat together. Since the establishment of the Xu Clan, they had never suffered so many casualties.

“Xue’er, how’s your relationship with Wuxie?” Xu Yilin asked, setting down his chopsticks, his appetite gone.

“I don’t know. He has many secrets that he doesn’t want anyone to know.” Xu Lingxue didn’t know how to describe it, but Liu Wuxie was unlike other men. She couldn’t sense any desire for her in Liu Wuxie’s eyes; it was as though Liu Wuxie had no desire at all.

During their journey to Azure Billow City together, she had tried to understand him. But for some reason, Liu Wuxie seemed distant, and she couldn’t penetrate his heart. He didn’t seem to want anyone to get close to him, which was unusual.

“Wuxie has grown up, and you two will have to resolve this yourselves. He’s a good kid, but he probably became like this because of what he endured when he was young,” Xu Yilin comforted. There were many things that he wasn’t in a position to interfere with.

The kids have grown up, and he could only respect their wishes as a parent.
