Chapter 107 - Whos your Heavenly Daddy?

Chapter 107 - Who's your Heavenly Daddy?

"You!" Duanmu Yao was livid. Yet he held his temper in check. Such audacity could only come from a place of confidence. His aged face bore a red imprint, but he dutifully set to work.

"He can tolerate that?" Yun Xiao mused with a disdainful chuckle.

Suddenly, he rose, nonchalantly picking up a square iron plate from the table. With a swift motion, he smashed it over Yan Ding's head.

"Ahh!" Yan Ding shrieked. His head split open, blood gushing out. Yun Xiao, with one swift kick to Yan Ding's face, sent him flying out into the guest hall, blood pooling beneath him.

Hearing his grandson's agonized cries, Yan Guo gritted his teeth. "Young Sword Lord, we've treated you with respect. Why this unprovoked violence?"

"I don't like baldies," Yun Xiao stated plainly.

Yan Guo was taken aback. He himself was bald.

Seeing Yun Xiao's gaze shift to Duanmu Ling, Duanmu Yao quickly grabbed his grandson by the collar and threw him out of the way. He then smiled at Yun Xiao, saying, "Young Sword Lord, perhaps just us two old bones should keep you company."

"Young Sword Lord, you must stay tonight. We'll drink with you at a leisurely pace," Yan Guo's expression suddenly twisted menacingly.

"Growing a backbone all of a sudden?" Yun Xiao glanced outside. "Expecting company?"

No sooner had he spoken than three figures entered—a man in violet robes, an elder in gray, and an old woman.

"Xiao Yuan! Chen Xiao! Sun Lingyu!" Upon seeing them, the murderous intent in Yan Guo's eyes flared uncontrollably. Five Great Elders from the Forbidden Tower, all of whom were in the Sovereign Dragon Realm.

They had arrived swiftly. They nodded and bowed, managing to restrain Yun Xiao and preventing further casualties.

Among them, the man named Xiao Yuan in the violet robes was famous In his youth, he was a strong contender for the tower's leadership. Before Ye Guying emerged from seclusion, he was the second strongest in the Forbidden Tower and the third in the Sea of Swords.

As they entered, their icy glares locked onto Yun Xiao.

Along the way, word of Yun Xiao's audacious behavior had reached them. And seeing Yan Ding's bloodied and bruised, they became even more outraged by how far Yun Xiao was taking things.

"Let's get him now!" Duanmu Yao declared, his voice dripping with malevolence.

Though he was the calmest among them, he was, paradoxically, also the most enraged.

KLANG KLANG! Five Great Elders of the Sovereign Dragon Realm abruptly drew their Sword Souls! Each of their Sword Auras was at least forty-five layers thick, and they each wielded two Sword Rings!

Each one was enveloped by a dragon-shaped magic aura, their presence heavy and powerful, as if true dragons had descended upon the world. For a moment, the weight of their combined might seemed to overshadow the entire guest hall.

BOOM! With a swift move, Duanmu Yao and Yan Guo slammed the guest hall doors shut. Those doors, crafted from thick steel, shut out the world beyond.

BANG BANG BANG! From every direction, all the window shutters fell into place, emphasizing that this guest hall had been turned into a veritable trap!

"He's trapped inside! He's as good as dead!" Duanmu Ling, picking himself up, felt all his pent-up frustrations transform into murderous intent.

"Kill him!" Yan Ding, despite being in extreme pain, managed to growl out his directive.

"Kill!" All of Duanmu's household, none willing to depart, congregated outside the guest hall, eagerly awaiting the news of Yun Xiao's demise so they could erupt into jubilation.

"Even if he doesn't die today, he'll be crippled!"

"Cut off everything on him that doesn't concern his life!"

How dare someone threaten everyone in the Forbidden Tower? How dare someone surround the elder's residence? How could they possibly tolerate this?

Never before had the Great Elders of the Forbidden Tower encountered such brazen provocation. And they wouldn't stand for it now.

Inside the guest hall, they spread out swiftly, encircling Yun Xiao.

Without a word, the five, in their years of camaraderie, made their move. They couldn't afford any delay, for if the Sword Lord Lin Qingfeng arrived, all their efforts would be in vain.

ROAR! Five swords flew, like five mighty dragons, from different directions, lunging directly at Yun Xiao, as if aiming to bite his head off.

"Even Lin Qingfeng wouldn't dare to provoke us in our own house. How could you?" Duanmu Yao thought, a sinister expression on his face, leading the charge.

From his hand, a deep-yellow Sword Soul unfurled, causing the ground to shake. Massive rocks and swirling sands gathered, aiming to engulf Yun Xiao!

This was a combination of the Sword Soul's property and demon magic!

Surrounded by a palpable intent to kill, Yun Xiao's eyes turned icy cold. His raven-black hair danced wildly, and his white robe fluttered. An azure sword shot forth from his grip. Red and blue Sword Rings, each with a history of five thousand years, adorned the sword. They channeled two overpowering enchantments—the Thousand Waters Lure and the Ghostly Inferno—both fearsome and eye-catching.

Coupled with a hundred layers of Sword Aura, the sword in Yun Xiao's grasp utterly overshadowed the Great Elders. The oldest among them only boasted Sword Rings around three thousand years old. Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

"You slew the Sword Lord's son, yet the Sword Lord gifted you his son's Sword Rings?" Xiao Yuan, the middle-aged man in violet robes, nearly choked on his disbelief. "Are you sure you're not Lin Qingfeng's illegitimate son?"

He found the situation completely absurd!

"Can a young man like Yun Xiao really stand up to five Sovereign Dragon Realm Great Elders?" The crowd felt a chill run down their spines.

“It should be over soon! Once the door opens, Yun Xiao is doomed!” Duanmu Ling proclaimed fiercely.

At this moment, Yun Xiao, having just slain two, spun around with a sword swift as a tempest, pinpointing a Sword Soul heading straight for him and delivering a decisive slash.

With a resounding crash, the Flying Sword shattered instantly!

Such was the awe-inspiring might of five-thousand-year-old Sword Rings, coupled with a hundred-layer Sword Aura!

After the destruction of her sword, the old woman's spirit dispersed. Froth oozed from her lips as she collapsed, spasming on the ground, practically on death's doorstep.

However, these Great Elders were far from defenseless. As Yun Xiao deftly took down three of them, a sudden flash of a violet Flying Sword struck him in the chest, slamming him into the iron bars.

BOOM! For a moment, stars shimmered before his eyes.

“The kid's toast!” Xiao Yuan exclaimed, sweat pouring from his brow, his heart racing.

At last, he's gone! He knew all too well that if that Flying Sword hadn't finished Yun Xiao, he'd be next on the hit list.

Sure, the Sword Lord and Forbidden Tower Lord might be more intimidating, but they wouldn't resort to such bloody measures.

With this strike, there was no turning back in this factional war.

And that's precisely why Xiao Yuan feared Yun Xiao. He was a young, impulsive force of nature, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. The real terror lay in these fierce, wild souls, devoid of any worldly considerations.

“Phew!” Xiao Yuan heaved a sigh, stretching out his hand to call back his Flying Sword.

Yet, the sword remained embedded!

“Stuck in the bone, perhaps?” Xiao Yuan murmured, peering closely.

The young man in white suddenly lifted his head, a smirk playing on his lips. “What a pity!”

Cold terror crept over Xiao Yuan. “It can't be!” By all accounts, a sword to the chest was a death sentence!

Trembling, Xiao Yuan's gaze fixed on Yun Xiao’s chest. There, a tiny black beast emerged, its mouth gaping wide and blood-red.

At that moment, the creature spat out Xiao Yuan's violet Sword Soul, followed by several of its sharp fangs!

“My teeth! Ahhh that really hurt. You better kill him for me!” Red Moon wailed.

"W-what!?" Xiao Yuan muttered in fear, a cold chill washing over him as he tried to retreat.

"See you in the next life!" Yun Xiao stepped closer, delivering another sword strike. Swift and as luminous as the moon. Xiao Yuan desperately pulled back his Sword Soul, transforming it into a Palm Sword to deflect the attack. Still, he couldn't withstand the second strike. Yun Xiao's Sword Ring's storm effortlessly severed his head.

"Ahh!" Xiao Yuan's agonizing scream resonated, casting an air of confusion over the onlookers outside.

Suddenly, the guest hall fell silent.

"Yun Xiao must have been executed!" Duanmu Ling declared with rising hope. Yet, just as his words settled, the doors were slashed open.

BOOM! Amidst the dancing dust, a young man in white emerged, holding five heads.

THUD! The scene stunned over a hundred bystanders, paralyzing them like lightning-struck trees.

"Grandpa..." Duanmu Ling and Yan Ding stood frozen, unable to move.

The entire Duanmu Manor was eerily silent.

With a cold glare, Yun Xiao surveyed his surroundings, causing the paralyzed crowd to scream, "Run!"

But with just a single step forward and a sweeping motion of his sword, rays of moonlight shot forth.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH! Heads soared, as if propelled by a single stroke.

"Time to collect!" Yun Xiao remarked, scooping up the loot. He amassed over 13,000,000 Spirit Stones, countless heavenly pills, armors, daoist spells, and sword techniques.

"These five Great Elders from the Forbidden Tower were wealthy beyond measure," Yun Xiao mused. "Today, they left in haste, bringing but a fraction of their fortune. Their real wealth lies in their holdings in the Sea of Swords."

Satisfied with his haul, Yun Xiao decided to forgo the labor-intensive task of claiming the properties. "Not a bad day," he grinned.

With his Sword Soul, he etched three lines on the door.

「Though alone, I, Yun Xiao, dare challenge the Forbidden Tower's mightiest.

Disagree? Come to Sword Heaven. Our ten thousand Sword Cultivators await you.」

P.S. Who's your Heavenly daddy?」

With that, Yun Xiao, holding five heads, eagerly rode his Sovereign Sword towards Sword Heaven, exclaiming, "Master, I've made a name for Sword Heaven!"
