Pill Sect, in front of its mountain gate.

The enormous black sword stood there like a mountain, barring the way of the Li Family against the Pill Sect. The lines of a tall figure standing on the black sword appeared godly, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.

This man was none other than Xing Tianxiao, who held the seat of the martial sect division leader.

The Purple Mist Sect is split into two: the Martial Sect and the Pill Sect.

The leaders of these two divisions were Gu Daofeng of the Pill Sect and Xing Tianxiao of the Martial Sect. These two men held sway over the two main branches of the Purple Mist Sect.

The two branches had always stayed in their respective lanes, even though they were both parts of the Purple Mist Sect, interactions between them were not as frequent as one might imagine.

However, the moment a problem arises in one branch, the other side would certainly go all-out in aid.

After all, both branches have the same roots and origins, both parts of the Purple Mist Sect.

There was a time when the leader of the Pill Sect perished on the spot after failing in alchemy against the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect.

Soon after, the leader of the Martial Sect, carrying his sword, killed the leader of the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect, avenging the Pill Sect.

Now, with the Pill Sect challenging the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect and the attack of the Li family, Xing Tianxiao, the leader of the Martial Sect had timely appeared to halt the Li family from attacking the Pill sect.

An elderly man from the Li Family glared at Xing Tianxiao. He was an elder of high standing in the Li Family and was powerful enough to be ranked within the top five of the Li Family. However, he felt less than confident in his chances of victory against Xing Tianxiao.

“Li family, step away, or do not blame me for my ruthless sword,” Xing

Tianxiao said, a grin of mockery spread across his sturdy face, but it was a cold smile, carrying a palpable threat of violence.

The Li family elder humphed and said: “Xing Tianxiao, this is a matter between the Li family and the Pill Sect. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you, the leader of the Martial Sect, to step in?”

Having heard him, Xing Tianxiao looked at the Li family elder with the stare one reserves for idiots, his hearty laughter echoed loud: “Old man of the Li family, are you out of your mind? My Martial Sect and Pill Sect are of the same body and path, connected in spirit. If your Li family wants to wage war against the Pill Sect, my Martial Sect will not just stand by and watch.”

The face of the Li family elder soured, he was naturally aware of the bond between the Pill and Martial Sect. The only reason he had questioned was due to having run out of options.

“Xing Tianxiao, we did not intend to attack the Pill Sect, we merely wanted to rescue our friends from the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect. If we delay any longer, I fear the entirety of the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect may perish at the hands of the Pill sect,” said the Li family elder with a serious voice.

Xing Tianxiao’s face showed disdain: “Those men from the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect chose their own path to destruction. If they are dead, then they are dead. Is that such a big deal?”

The Li family elder was taken aback by the claim. It was no secret that Xing

Tianxiao was extremely arrogant, but after witnessing it first hand, it seemed Xing Tianxiao was indeed ten times more arrogant than the rumors had suggested.

What did he mean by ‘if they are dead, then they are dead’?

Ten-thousand Medicine Sect and a multitude of elder disciples!

If the key individuals of the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect were all killed by the Pill Sect, the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect would seek revenge regardless of the cost.

Though the power of the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect may not even rank within the top three of the Qian Country, the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect was a sect that based its prosperity on Alchemy Tao, if they were to use pills as a reward, numerous factions would be willing to assist the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect.

Then, what the Purple Mist Sect would have to deal with, would not be as simple as just the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect.

But Xing Tianxiao simply stated ‘if they are dead, then they are dead’? To anyone hearing that, it would be the most foolish statement.

Yet it was Xing Tianxiao who said it. The Li family elder got the sense that Xing Tianxiao truly did not care if the people of the Ten-thousand Medicine Sect were killed by the Pill Sect.

The Li family elder swallowed down his fury and signalled a handful of people to get ready to make their move.

From the Li family elder’s perspective, despite Xing Tianxiao’s reputation, he was, after all, only one man. They had brought quite a number of experts within the Li family, and if they all advanced together, they had every confidence that they would be able to repel Xing Tianxiao.

Xing Tianxiao stood alone atop the sword hilt, regarding the Li family members below with a look of scorn whilst the Li family elder’s subtle signal did not escape his keen eyes.

“Are you going to make your move? Then quit dawdling around, come at me!” Bellowed Xing Tianxiao, suddenly jumping up from the sword hilt, his body soaring into the sky like a hawk about to hunt.

Seeing that Xing Tianxiao was the first to move, the Li family elder had no choice but to discard all his reservations. With a loud shout, he raised his palm and aimed straight at Xing Tianxiao.

Their fists and palms collided, creating a violent clash of inner strength.

The face of the Li family elder underwent a slight change, while Xing Tianxiao simply laughed, exerting even more force, sending the Li family elder reeling back several steps.

“Not good! His realm is far beyond mine?” The Li family elder was astonished, he was a renowned expert in the Li family, but was at a disadvantage against Xing Tianxiao.

However, the Li family elder did not panic. They had the advantage of superior numbers. Four other figures charged forth immediately, all of them were elders of the Li family. Though their strength was not on par with the Li family elder, they were not far behind.

“Bring it on!” Morning brightened Xing Tianxiao’s expression as he wielded his hand, the huge black sword jettisoned back into his grip.

With the sword in hand, Xing Tianxiao looked even more awe-striking. Facing the encirclement of the four Li family elders, he did not break a sweat and even gradually gained the upper hand with his mighty sword.

This spectacle left the members of the Li family aghast, they were always filled with pride, thinking that the Li family was the most powerful force in Qian Country and did not hold the Purple Mist Sect in high esteem.

But today, they realized that the Purple Mist Sect had such a powerful figure. Even the collaboration of numerous family elders was not able to gain an upper hand at all.

However, this was not a surprise, as Xing Tianxiao was the sect leader of the Martial Sect, naturally, he exhibited exceptional prowess. Even throughout the entire Purple Mist Sect, very few could outmatch Xing Tianxiao.

The Li family elder re-engaged the battle, five against one, it became a standoff against Xing Tianxiao.

The remaining members of the Li family had the mind to participate, but the rest of them were not quite at the same level. They might hold the Li family elder back if they recklessly joined the mix.

Xing Tianxiao faced the five, the more excited he became, the more he fought, bursts of loud laughter echoing from his voice, the black sword in his hand became even sharper.

On the other hand, the five from the Li family became more anxious, they found Xing Tianxiao to become even more fearsome the more he fought.

“Get lost!” Suddenly, Xing Tianxiao rooted his feet to the ground, gripping the sword with both of his hands, fiercely slashing at the head of the Li family elder.

This strike came too swiftly. Xing Tianxiao did not care about the others and aimed squarely for the Li family elder.

The face of the Li family elder contorted with shock. He had no time for evasive maneuvers nor did he have any way to do so, because his fate was sealed by the momentum of this particular strike.

The other four saw the intensity of the strike and unconsciously pounced in both directions, but the very next moment, they quickly realized that this strike was not aimed at them.

But by doing so, they had inadvertently helped Xing Tianxiao. Without any obstacles, that strike connected directly with the body of the Li family elder.

The Li family elder was no weakling, even in the face of danger, he mustered all his strength and managed to shift a little, but nevertheless, he was still hit hard.

A whole arm along with part of a shoulder was instantly severed by that strike of Xing Tianxiao’s sword, fresh blood spurted out. The Li family elder was wracked with unbearable pain, instantly collapsing onto the ground, unconscious.

The four Li family elders, their faces turned ghastly pale, quickly pulled the unconscious elder to safety.

Xing Tianxiao, made no further moves, brandishing his black sword once more, resting it against his shoulder.

The Li family elders gave Xing Tianxiao a fearful look and retorted “The Li family will not let this go!” , before hastily leaving with their group.

When they arrived, they had an imposing demeanor, yet their departure was a picture of utter humiliation..
