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

“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.

“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.

The crimson blade contained a powerful soul energy, and each strike could intimidate the soul. This was the reason why he caught Liu Wuxie by surprise earlier. After all, who could have anticipated that someone would resort to such a heinous act of killing countless innocent infants to forge a weapon?

“Interesting, you’ve discovered that my blade is steeped in the blood of infants. Had she not intercepted that blow for you, you would already be dead,” Yuan Jun said, a look of pity on his face. He only had one opportunity for that surprise attack. It wouldn’t be easy for him to attempt it again now that Liu Wuxie was prepared.

“Today, I’ll act on behalf of heaven to kill you and take revenge for all the babies that died!” Liu Wuxie wasn’t a benevolent person, but he had his bottom line. He wouldn’t go against his heart and do something so evil.

“You want to kill me? Hahaha! Die!” Yuan Jun swung his crimson blade again, and the mysterious power appeared again.

Everyone grew tense as Liu Wuxie had only survived due to Xu Lingxue’s intervention. Who could step in for him this time?

Xu Yilin and everyone became anxious, praying for Liu Wuxie’s safety.

When Liu Wuxie executed the Ghost Eye, the mysterious power disappeared. It was in the form of a soul attack, which was why Liu Wuxie had lost consciousness for a moment earlier.

“Hmph, you want to compete with me regarding soul energy? Let me show you how soul energy is used!” Liu Wuxie stood in the same spot and couldn’t even be bothered to raise the Heretic Blade. His eyes were locked onto Yuan Jun’s eyes.

“Wuxie, fight back!” Bi Gongyu was anxious when he saw this, thinking that Liu Wuxie had lost consciousness again.

Xu Lingxue sat on the ground to treat her injuries. She couldn’t do anything this time and only watched as the crimson blade approached Liu Wuxie.

But Liu Wuxie ignored everyone and wore a sneer on his lips.

“Ghost Eye!” Liu Wuxie’s soul energy manifested. After ingesting so many Soul Refining Pills, he could already release his divine sense out of his body.

Yuan Jun suddenly felt something wasn’t right and let out a scream, clutching his head as he rolled on the ground. It felt as though a sharp needle had pierced his brain, making him lose consciousness. The pain was excruciating, like nothing he had experienced before.

“Die!” When Liu Wuxie attacked Yuan Jun’s soul sea with Ghost Eye, he swung the Heretic Blade down and decapitated Yuan Jun.

The Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron appeared again, absorbing all the energies in Yuan Jun’s body to strengthen himself. Liu Wuxie was one step away from reaching the ninth-level Spirit Cleansing Realm.

From the beginning until the end, Shao Dongli didn’t move. He stared blankly, watching how Yuan Jun disappeared before him. There wasn’t even a corpse left behind, and it was as if Yuan Jun had vanished into thin air.

Shao Dongli was the only one remaining, which brought relief to Xu Yilin. The guards of the Xu Clan also cheered, for Liu Wuxie had avenged the fallen guards.

When Liu Wuxie slowly approached Shao Dongli, the latter retreated in fear because he knew he couldn’t be Liu Wuxie’s opponent by himself.

“Do you want to take your own life, or do you want me to help you with it?” Liu Wuxie asked as he stood before Shao Dongli.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have used your in-laws to threaten you. Please spare my life!” Shao Dongli suddenly went down on his knees, kowtowing before Liu Wuxie. No one had expected this outcome. They had arrived ferociously, killed ten-odd guards, and forced Xu Yilin to surrender himself. However, everything had changed drastically after Liu Wuxie’s appearance.

“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.
