Chapter 729: The Killing Begins
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lu Xian had given everyone a completely different version of the story!
Everyone could understand why the two stories were different. The blood of the sacred ones was unbelievably valuable, after all. It was considered even more valuable for a small family like the Jiang family.
Even so, it was obvious that everyone looked at the Jiang family with contempt after finding out what they had done.
After all, unlike in other cases involving family feuds, the Liu and Jiang families had been friends. Even then, the Jiang family refused to even spare the children of the Liu family from death.
Who would still dare to be close to such a family? Everyone would’ve been afraid of meeting the same fate as that of the Liu family.
Even if the Jiang family had been planning to risk everything for a while now, they still couldn’t help but feel embarrassed now.
Only a few elders from the Jiang family remained unfazed. They were prepared for something like this to happen; maintaining a good public image no longer mattered to them.
If something couldn’t help them prolong their lives, then they didn’t need to care about it!
Many of the guests present, who were friends with the Jiang family, could not help but be enraged. At that moment, their hearts skipped a beat upon learning what truly happened. At the very least, they could not fully trust the Jiang family from here on out; they could no longer afford to let their guard down around them.
Lu Xuan exclaimed, “The Liu family are descendants of the sacred ones. Everyone knows about the contribution of the sacred ones for the Holy Sun Continent, but how did you guys treat the descendant of the sacred ones? How ungrateful. You still dare to show yourselves in this world after that?” You ungrateful people. Do you still have the face to live in this world?”
One elder from the Jiang family yelled, “Shut up!”
Although they no longer cared about losing face, they also knew how serious the situation had become.
Aside from sects such as the Divine Blood Church who practiced evil forms of cultivation, nobody else dared to hunt and kill those who possessed the blood of the sacred ones.
The sacred ones and the sacred ancestor have made so many major contributions for the Holy Sun Continent, after all; even if people wanted to obliterate them, they couldn’t bring themselves to actually go through with it.
Today, everything the Jiang family had done was exposed, which had made countless people turn cold towards them. Many righteous people would come to find trouble with them.
For example, the white-robed young man in front of them had come out of nowhere. If the Jiang family went to the Listening Pavilion, it would’ve been impossible for them to find any relevant information about Lu Xuan.
It was as if he had popped out of the ground.
The Jiang family was even more afraid of someone like him.
Lu Xuan gave a faint smile as he said, “After even having the audacity to make a move, why are you still afraid of what others will say about you? You’re quite bold to do something like that and not regret it. You even want the blood of the sacred ones. Today, I’ll get rid of all of you for trying to take the blood of the sacred ones for yourselves. If you truly aren’t involved in this, I suggest you leave. If you don’t leave, then don’t blame me for what I’m about to do to you!”
At that moment, an elder of the Jiang family walked towards Lu Xuan, taking his time with each step. He said, “Good, very good, you sure have a lot of nerve. I’d like to see what you are going to do!”
He was an expert in the fifth tier of the Divine Transformation Realm. Every step he took in the sky had stepped on the hearts of the people.
Although this elder of the Jiang family was old, he was at a realm far higher than the other ordinary elders of the Jiang family. He was very remarkable.
That was when he suddenly moved and slapped out a palm.
A flame demon god then appeared behind him. This was an image condensed by his primordial spirit.
This palm created a big hole in the sky. People were terrified when they saw that the palm had crashed into the ground like a meteorite.
The attack was so frightening that people could still feel this Burning Sun Strike from the palm even if they were far away from it.
That was when Lu Xuan made his move. As he waved the Geng Metal Sword in his hand, a silver beam of sword qi immediately swept across the sky. It instantly chopped into the Burning Sun Strike.
Boom!
People watched as the sword light hit the Burning Sun Strike. The endless flame was annihilated under the wave of sword qi. Immediately afterward, the sword qi landed on the elder’s hand.
The elder of the Jiang family screamed as his entire arm immediately exploded.
He took several steps back to avoid the entire beam of sword light that went after him. He looked at Lu Xuan in surprise and anger.
Lu Xuan had destroyed one of his arms in one move. If he hadn’t dodged the rest of the attack in time, Lu Xuan would’ve killed him.
This sword qi was too shocking. It was unrivaled and unbeatable!
People were surprised and shocked by the fierce sword qi that Lu Xuan had dealt. They had never seen such a terrifying sword qi before. They did not even see how Lu Xuan had used his Spiritual Aether.
In other words, Lu Xuan had only used the sword qi of his sword to deal a heavy blow to an expert in the fifth tier of the Divine Transformation Realm and blow off his entire arm.
Although the elder of the Jiang family was not extremely powerful, he was still considered to be skilled. His strength was very terrifying.
Many people could see that the elder of the Jiang family was not invincible, especially since he was old and lacked qi and blood. He could pretty much be eaten alive by other forces.
However, Lu Xuan did not wear him out and prolong the battle. Lu Xuan had directly confronted the elder head-on and defeated him.
The most horrifying thing about this elder of the Jiang family was the fact that he had conjured a wall of fire in front of him, which spread out like a flowing river and protected him.
Everything seemed strange; people began wondering how this had all happened. Just then, they saw another beam of sword qi move towards the elder. It broke through the wall of fire before hitting the elder’s body.
The elder of the Jiang family was instantly cut in half, causing blood to spurt out of his body.
All of this would’ve taken a while to recount, but it had happened very quickly. People saw that Lu Xuan had instantly killed an elder of the Jiang family.
It happened so fast that the crowd was not given a chance to even react!
That was when many people finally believed that Lu Xuan had killed a group of experts from the Jiang family before calmly taking Liu Haotian away from them.
He truly was strong!
“Die!”
At that moment, another elder of the Jiang family couldn’t hold themselves back any longer. He was so furious that the hair on his head almost stood up from anger.
Although he was only an Elder Supreme of a small family, nobody dared to treat him like this.
Killing an elder of their Jiang family in front of him was like slapping him in the face.
Suddenly, everyone in the Jiang family went berserk and charged towards Lu Xuan.
Countless attacks turned into a torrent of various colors, most of which headed towards Lu Xuan.
The rest of the attacks were headed for Liu Haotian.
The Jiang family had hated Liu Haotian so much that they were going to kill him no matter what they originally planned.
Nobody expected an ancient bronze clock to have emerged over Liu Haotian’s head to protect him.
All the attacks landed on the ancient bronze clock before disappearing.
“What is that?” While many people were shocked by the ancient bronze clock, Lu Xuan began his killing spree.
