Old Man Tian had only just made his move when the oppressive force of a Third Realm Fate Stage cultivator erupted, blanketing the surroundings with overwhelming pressure.
“You arrogant brat! How dare you show such disrespect to Dao Martial Sacred Mountain! Today, you will pay the price!”
Lying on the ground, Lin Tianyou’s face lit up with excitement the moment he saw the elder act.
He staggered to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and laughed triumphantly.
“Hahaha! You reckless fool, you dared to injure me! Uncle Tian, kill him for me!”
“So noisy.”
“When did you earn the right to speak?”
Li Huaixian cast him a cold sideways glance.
Then, a sword aura like a tidal wave swept across the battlefield.
Elder Tian had no time to intervene.
“Ahhh!!!”
Lin Tianyou let out a cry of agony, but within an instant, he was dead.
Before everyone’s eyes, Lin Tianyou was crushed into a pulp by the sword pressure—completely powerless from start to finish.
***
The elder known as Uncle Tian bellowed in rage, his eyes bloodshot.
“Tianyou!”
“You dare! You damn brat, you dare!”
In his fury, Uncle Tian released a violent surge of energy that swept across the entire field, shaking everyone to the core.
Although He Jieyu remained silent, her eyes were filled with deep concern as she looked toward Li Huaixian.
After a moment of hesitation, she bit her lip and spoke.
“My lord… this matter started because of me. I should—”
As she stepped forward, she was stopped by Li Huaixian’s raised hand.
“Owning up to your actions is admirable. But being reckless isn’t.”
“Or… do you not trust me?”
“I… I do.”
Faced with Li Huaixian’s faint smile, He Jieyu lowered her head, her cheeks flushing red as she mumbled softly.
For some reason, an inexplicable sense of unease welled up in her heart.
On the other side, Li Huaixian met Uncle Tian’s furious pressure with calm indifference—and even a hint of scorn.
‘As expected of those from the same sect—your shamelessness really does run in the family.’
‘You think you’re the only ones allowed to bully others, and no one is allowed to fight back?’
‘Aruo back then, and now He Jieyu—if I hadn’t acted in time, both would’ve already died by your hands.’
He felt no guilt over killing Lin Tianyou.
That man had brought it upon himself.
***
Just as Uncle Tian flew into a rage, Tanfei had already stepped silently in front of Li Huaixian.
Her beautiful face, usually lazy and indifferent, now held a serious expression as she stared down the old man.
Meanwhile, the true experts of Langya Platform had already hidden themselves in the shadows.
The moment there was trouble—whether he was a protector of Dao Martial Sacred Mountain or not—they would kill without mercy.
Looking at Tanfei’s graceful figure standing protectively in front of him, Li Huaixian felt a wave of warmth in his heart. He slowly lowered his head and said gently: “Trust me.”
Tanfei furrowed her brows as she looked at him.
This wasn’t a matter of trust.
She simply couldn’t accept the idea of Li Huaixian being in danger.
But when she turned and met the boy’s clear, resolute gaze, a strange sense of calm settled within her.
In the end, she stepped back, and in an uncharacteristically serious whisper, said: “Be careful. If anything goes wrong… I’ll be here.”
“Mm.”
Li Huaixian didn’t say much—just gave a simple reply to reassure her.
Then, the full force of his Peak Dao Palace Stage cultivation burst forth.
The young man’s presence was transcendent, and even when facing a supreme expert, he didn’t yield an inch.
A sharp, commanding aura burst forth from his body.
His cool voice, tinged with arrogance, rang clearly in the old man’s ears.
“Come. Let me see just how powerful someone in the Fate Realm truly is.”
The old man’s expression darkened as he realized Li Huaixian had already reached the peak of the Dao Palace Realm.
‘Such talent at such a young age—he was no less impressive than the top genius of Dao Martial Sacred Mountain.’
At that thought, the old man gritted his teeth, killing intent flooding his body.
If before he was simply enraged by Li Huaixian killing their sect’s prodigy…
Now, there was only one thought in his mind.
‘This boy had monstrous talent and had already become an enemy of Dao Martial Sacred Mountain. Today, he must eliminate this hidden threat in its cradle! Of course, whether he could actually kill Li Huaixian wasn’t something he bothered to consider. After all, no matter how talented Li Huaixian was, he was still only at the peak of the Dao Palace Realm. With his own cultivation at the third stage of the Fate Realm, crushing him should be easy!’
As these thoughts raced through his mind, Elder Tian stared at the proud youth standing before him and roared:
“You little brat, die for me!”
He instantly unleashed the full force of his cultivation, striking out with a powerful palm.
A swirling red-blue flame followed the strike, forming a massive fire serpent that surged toward Li Huaixian.
The crowd gasped in alarm.
An attack from a Fate Realm stage three expert—truly terrifying!
And yet, Li Huaixian’s expression didn’t change in the slightest, standing calm and composed, a stark contrast to the fearful, exaggerated expressions around him.
He allowed the fire serpent to engulf him.
Just as everyone thought he was about to be reduced to ash…
And the old man stroked his beard, already basking in triumph—
A deafening dragon’s roar rang out like it came from ancient times!
BOOM!
A golden light erupted from within the fire serpent and shot into the sky.
The fiery beast instantly shattered apart!
Then, to everyone’s shock, Li Huaixian rose into the air, sword wings made of countless flying swords spreading out behind him.
He waved his hand, and those sword-intent-fueled blades rapidly gathered together, forming a colossal, sky-shrouding greatsword.
It came crashing down toward the old man with unstoppable force!
Elder Tian’s eyes widened, unable to react in time.
The sword clearly struck him.
Yet for a brief moment, he looked completely unharmed.
“Hahaha! Foolish child, just a flashy trick—”
The word “trick” never left his mouth.
His body split cleanly from the top of his head down, collapsing to the ground in two pieces.
A torrent of blood erupted from within his bisected body!
Shrieks broke out among the more timid spectators.
***
Li Huaixian didn’t even glance at the corpse.
He drifted lightly back to the ground, eyes falling to his own fingertips.
Previously, he had felt that the first move of the Myriad Gods Tribulation technique, though powerful, dispersed its force too widely.
So he tried condensing it to a single point.
This way, the attack would not only be more concentrated, but its destructive power also increased significantly.
Tanfei, worldly and composed, gave the two corpses only a passing glance.
Then she quickly ordered someone to clean up the mess, before happily running over to Li Huaixian’s side.
She rose on her toes, pressing close to his chest.
Her delicate hands reached out as if to cradle his face.
“Young Master, when did you become this powerful? You’ve completely changed my impression of you. I must reward you~”
As she spoke, her lips parted slightly, moving in to kiss him.
The crowd watched Tanfei’s alluring curves and listened to her sultry, teasing voice laced with a hint of girlish playfulness.
Every one of them felt their worldview shatter.
Their inner perverts wept.
But Li Huaixian was long used to Tanfei’s antics.
He raised a hand and gently captured her wandering fingers, removing them from his face and holding them firmly in his palm.
His clear eyes locked onto her oval-shaped face, and he spoke in a warm tone: “Behave. Or do you want to ruin your image right here?”
Tanfei hadn’t expected that move.
His gaze made her cheeks flush with heat.
She quickly pulled her hand back, eyes darting around nervously.
“Forget the reward, then…”
Hiss~
The crowd watched Tanfei’s blushing face and couldn’t help but inhale sharply in jealousy.
They clutched their chests, frozen in place.
Completely overwhelmed.
Some even felt the urge to scream: “Let go of that boy and come to me instead!”
