Chapter 87: Annihilating the Three Families (Part 1)

  Niu Zhenshan knew deeply that the "Bao Shan Yin" he struck out was incredibly powerful, but it was easily cut in two by Xuan Tian's sword. The edge of Xuan Tian's sword could only be described with two words - terrifying!

  Facing Xuantian's sword tip, Niu Zhenshan didn't dare to underestimate it in the slightest. Even with the treasure glove on his hand, he didn't dare to directly block Xuantian's sword tip.

  Niu Zhenshan took a step back, his hands didn't idle for a moment, and in an instant, he made another "Embracing Mountain Seal" and threw it out. Immediately after, he made another one, and the second "Embracing Mountain Seal" appeared in an instant.

  Facing Xuantian's sword edge, two 'Bao Shan Yin' are needed to block it, while Xuantian only needs to slash out one sword.

  It seems that Xuan Tian is relaxed and at ease, while Niu Zhen Shan is somewhat flustered, already retreating a step with the second sword.

  Niú Zhènshān has indeed shown signs of defeat, Zhang Gǔsōng and Chéng Yuángōng exchanged a glance, knowing they couldn't wait any longer, and must take advantage of the crowd's momentum to launch a surprise attack, in order to have a chance at turning the tide.

  Two men shouted in unison: "The Cow family is about to win, everyone listen to the order, go up and wipe out the Huang family, whoever retreats will be destroyed along with their nine clans! Up!"

  "Kill!" The warriors of the Niu, Cheng and Zhang families took advantage of the momentum and let out a loud shout, their voices shaking heaven and earth.

  "Whoever dares to make a move will be seeking their own death. The Huang family will ensure that they are splattered with blood within five steps and their soul will be severed this morning!"

  Zhang Yuancheng's face was old and withered, but his voice was full of energy, loudly shouting: "All members of the Huang family, listen to my orders! Invaders will be killed, all will be slaughtered!"

  A fight between family members; unless you don't start a war, once started, it's either you die or I perish. Absolutely no chance for the enemy to retreat.

  The Huang family's martial artists all rushed up together and intercepted the martial artists from the Niu, Cheng, and Zhang families who were charging forward.

  Zhang Gusong and Cheng Yuangong knew that the battle between Xuantian and Niu Zhenshan was the key to the entire situation, so after shouting, they flashed aside, preparing to sneak around to the back and launch a surprise attack on Xuantian.

  Huang Qishan appeared in their line of sight, his figure even faster, blocking the way between Zhang Gusong, Cheng Yuangong and Xuan Tian, Niu Zhenshan.

  "Two dog thieves, die!" Huang Qishan slashed out with his knife, the dazzling blade, cutting through the air, blindingly bright.

  Before the blade arrived, a fierce killing intent enveloped Zhang Guosong and Cheng Yuangong, causing their bodies to chill and their hairs to stand on end.

  The knife in Huang Qishan's hand was one of the three Xuan Tian stage treasures brought back by Xuan Tian. Huang Qishan had a cultivation base of three layers of Pre-Heaven, and his strength far surpassed that of Zhang Gusong and Cheng Yuangong. With the Xuan stage lower-grade treasure knife in hand, his strength was even more terrifying. Even if he didn't use any powerful martial skills, just relying on some common and ordinary moves, he could still kill Zhang Gusong and Cheng Yuangong with brute force, without revealing half a hint of family secrets.

  Another congenital third-order warrior of the Huang family, Huang Mingshan, held a long sword with flowing treasure light in his hand, which was also one of the three Xuan-stage treasures brought back by Xuantian. He rushed into the crowd of Niu, Cheng and Zhang families, and with a move of his sword, the dazzling sword edge rose to the sky, and with one sword, he split a congenital first-order warrior in two.

  The warriors outside the Niu, Cheng and Zhang families saw that Xuan Tian had gained the upper hand and the Huang family's offensive was even more fierce. They knew they couldn't gain any advantage, so they retreated one after another. Even when Niu Zhenshan declared he would exterminate their nine clans, none of them dared to come forward again.

  Several prominent families in Beimu County, whose family heads were all at the Second Heaven of the Innate Realm, were shocked to see Huang Mingyuan behead an Innate Realm cultivator with a single sword strike. The power of that one sword was such that even they couldn't withstand it for several moves, and they retreated in succession.

  In an instant, over a hundred warriors brought by the Niu, Cheng and Zhang families retreated more than half, leaving only the members of the three families.

  The three remaining Second-Order Warriors of the Innate Realm joined forces to block Huang Ming Shan, but they were also beaten back by him.

  Huang Yuancheng held a treasured long spear in his hand. Although the old man was advanced in age and looked extremely aged, his cultivation was still intact. When he fought, he was like a fierce lion. With one thrust of the spear, the sparkling spearhead flashed, and the treasured long spear directly broke through the opponent's weapon, then pierced through their throat.

  Xuan Hong held a famous long sword in his hand, which was the Cold Snow Sword used by Xuan Tian. The Cold Snow Sword in Xuan Hong's hand was as agile as an arm, extremely flexible and unpredictable. His opponent had the same level of cultivation as him, but when facing the sword in Xuan Hong's hand, he was completely powerless to defend himself. He didn't even know where Xuan Hong would strike from next. The attack was strange, fast, accurate, and ruthless. In a daze, his opponent's soul had already fled, and he met his demise.

  This is a true master of swordsmanship, with an understanding of the sword that now surpasses even Xuan Tian.

  ……

  The Huang family's expert, against the Niu, Cheng, and Zhang families, was a completely one-sided massacre. The opponent did not have a congenital third-order expert to resist, and the Huang family had absolute strength.

  Blood and flesh scattered in mid-air, fresh blood all over the ground.

  The dead warriors are all from the families of Niu, Cheng and Zhang. The ground is covered with the flowing blood of the three families of Niu, Cheng and Zhang.

  Those retreating warriors were shocked and frightened, congratulating themselves on making a correct decision. A small number of warriors who were not from the Niu, Cheng, or Zhang families chose to stand with them. Now most have lost their lives, and some regret it and want to retreat again, but it's too late. The Huang family will show no mercy to those who do not know their place.

  The battle between the Huang family and the Niu, Cheng, and Zhang families has become a one-sided situation. The fight between Xuan Tian and Niu Zhen Shan has also reached a life-or-death moment.

  The second sword, Niu Zhenshan retreated one step.

  The third sword, Niu Zhenshan retreated three steps.

  The fourth sword, Niu Zhenshan retreated five steps.

  ……

  Under Xuantian's sword intent and powerful attack, Niu Zhenshan retreated again and again. By the sixth sword, Niu Zhenshan had retreated ten steps in a row before barely managing to deploy two "Embracing Mountain Seals" to deflect the sword edge.

  'Bao Shan Yin' is the ultimate move of Kai Shan Zhang's cultivation to the realm of great completion.

  Niú Zhèn Shān initially used the 'Bao Shan Yin', clearly attaching great importance to Xuán Tiān. However, he did not expect that Xuán Tiān would comprehend the sword intent at the first level of Xiān Tiān cultivation, and even if he had grasped the ultimate move of the Kāi Shān Zhǎng, 'Bao Shan Yin', it would be of no use.

  "Old dog, you can't block my ten swords."

  Xuantian let out a cold shout, his sword's blade shone like a light curtain and shot up towards the sky, then swiftly slashed down, its momentum overbearing, even more powerful than before.

  Niu Zhenshan's body retreated again, but this time, no matter how fast he retreated, he couldn't keep up with the speed of Xuantian's sword slash. He only managed to execute one "Embracing Mountain Seal", which was split in two by Xuantian's single slash. The second "Embracing Mountain Seal" had just condensed in front of his chest when it was again split into two halves by Xuantian.

  After breaking the "Embracing Mountain Seal", it chopped down from Niu Zhen Shan's chest, although the sword's power had weakened, but the strong aura still cut through Niu Zhen Shan's clothes, leaving a blood mark.

  "The Eighth Sword!"

  The Xuantian Sword's momentum changed, suddenly accelerating from the "Pursuing Wind Nine Swords"'s "Wind Slashing Style" to the "Absolute Shadow Sword Art"'s "Waist Slashing Style".

  This is a big killing move!

  The speed was so fast that the dazzling sword edge appeared to be briefly disappearing, as if it had escaped into the void, leaving no trace. However, in the next instant, the dazzling sword edge had already appeared beside Niu Zhenshan, sweeping horizontally towards him.

  Absolute Shadow Swordsmanship, pursuing a single strike to kill, all offense and no defense!

  Against a powerful opponent, unless it's a special moment, the Absolute Shadow Sword Technique cannot be unleashed.

  Because if you can't achieve a one-hit kill, you'll face your opponent's terrifying counterattack.

  However, at this moment, Xuan Tian had already executed the Absolute Shadow Sword Technique. Although he didn't have the confidence to kill Niu Zhen Shan with one strike, his opponent also didn't have any room to counterattack against this sword.

  Indeed, the sudden change in swordsmanship left Niu Zhenshan's eyes wide with astonishment.

  It's too fast, can't dodge at all, retreat completely not in time!

  Niu Zhenshan's two hands came together in a single grasp, and a "Mountain-Embracing Seal" appeared, pushing away the horizontally slashing sword tip.

  Whoosh!

  The 'Baoshan Seal' was cut in half from the middle, split into two pieces, and the sword's momentum did not decrease.

  Once again, he executed 'Embracing Mountain Seal', but it was too late. Niu Zhenshan's two hands directly moved forward and slapped towards Chong Yuejian's sword.

  The metal gauntlet on Niu Zhenshan's hand was also a treasure, although it was a lower-grade Xuan-tier compared to the heavy mountain sword, but the durability of the treasure was difficult to destroy, and even higher-grade treasures of the same tier could hardly destroy lower-grade treasures of the same tier.

  Ancient!

  Niu Zhenshan didn't worry at all and thought he could block Xuan Tian's sword.

  However, Niu Zhenshan's hands had not yet clapped towards Chong Yuejian's sword when the dazzling sword tip suddenly disappeared. Chong Yuejian's sword was withdrawn by Xuan Tian, who then launched another great killing technique.

  "The Ninth Sword!"

  Absolute Shadow Swordsmanship - Headless Style.

  The sword was so fast that even Niu Zhenshan did not anticipate it.

  The sword tip suddenly flashed before Niu Zhenshan's throat.

  No!

  Niú Zhènshān's pupils suddenly contracted, and his hands flashed back with lightning speed.

  But it's too late!

  Whoosh! A stream of blood suddenly shot out from Niu Zhenshan's throat.

  Xuantian's figure flashed by from the side of Niuzhen Mountain and stopped ten meters behind it.

  The heavy sword hung low, fresh blood along the blade edge, forming a string, sliding down.

  Niu Zhenshan's body remained standing, his back arched, his hands raised in front of his throat, a defensive posture.

  However, at the throat, it was a gush of blood, a trail of blood from the right side of the neck to the left side.

  The wound occupied half of the neck, just short of half, and was about to cut off the entire head.

  The congenital aura of the four-layered martial artist, Xiantian, was indeed thick and heavy. Even with the use of a mid-grade treasure from the Mystic Realm, it still couldn't behead Niu Zhenshan in one sword strike, only cutting halfway through his skull.

  Of course, even if he had only cut off half of it, that would have been enough to make Niu Zhenshan's life come to an end, dying instantly.

  Niú Zhènshān's eyes were filled with incredulity.

  He had cultivated to break through the Fourth Heaven of Xiantian, and with great enthusiasm, he brought Niu, Cheng, Zhang and many other warriors to Huang's house, thinking that they would have absolute strength to crush the Huang family.

  But the result was completely beyond his expectation.

  A fourteen or fifteen year old young man, alone with a sword, successively slew the three families of Niu, Cheng and Zhang, three pre-heavenly triple-stage experts.

  In the end, even Niu Zhenshan himself was killed by the young man's sword!

  "Why is it like this?"

  With a shock and doubt, Niu Zhenshan's body fell heavily to the ground.
