I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 540 Killing Jingxuan, Warring States Weapon
On the snow-covered plain.

The group of martial arts practitioners and guests of the Xuanyuan family whispered among themselves, occasionally glancing at the handsome figure.

They knew a major battle was about to break out, which could affect innocent people, but not one of them was willing to leave.

After all, if you miss such a great show, you'll probably regret it for a long time.

Time passed quietly, and it was about three-quarters of an hour in the afternoon.

"Make way, make way! The patriarch is here! Zhou Yichui, come out and face your death!"

A deep, steady voice rang out, echoing across the snow-covered plain, displaying a remarkable level of internal strength.

As the martial arts practitioners surrounding the Great Snow Plain parted to make way, they all looked in the direction from which the voice had come.

Xuanyuan Guoqi, with an ancient sword hanging at his waist, slowly approached with his two sons and granddaughter Xuanyuan Qingfeng, as well as a group of Xuanyuan family disciples and guest elders.

Upon seeing Zhou Cheng'an, Xuan Yuan Jingyi roared in anger.

"Zhou Yichui, I'm going to tear you to pieces today to vent my hatred!"

With a wave of his hand, he sent the disciples of the Xuanyuan family scattering to take up advantageous positions, drawing their bows and arrows, ready to fire.

There were also more than twenty guest retainers, all of whom were well-known masters in the martial arts world. They were stationed in four directions, surrounding Zhou Cheng'an and leaving him no way out.

Zhou Cheng'an opened his eyes, but didn't even glance at these people. He looked at Xuan Yuan Jingyi with some surprise and asked, "Does your Xuan Yuan family have the means to reattach severed arms?"

As everyone knows, Xuanyuan Jingyi, the Second Master of the Xuanyuan Clan, was handsome and kind. In his youth, he was a charming young man known as a rare talent in Jiangdong, and he was extremely good at cultivating talents and building up his power.

After his elder brother, Xuanyuan Jingcheng, was abandoned by the patriarch and patriarch of the Xuanyuan family, Xuanyuan Guoqi, he welcomed guests from all over the world. When the heroes of the nearby states mentioned Master Xuanyuan, they would all give him a thumbs up and praise him as the timely rain of Jiangdong.

However, the usually reserved and sharp-witted Second Master Xuanyuan now had a ferocious expression, filled with an indescribable murderous intent.

“Zhou Yichui, you deserve to die. If you kowtow and confess your sins now and surrender, I might give you a chance to die a whole death.”

Zhou Chengan stood up, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, his tone mocking: "If you kneel down and kowtow now, I might spare your life, and even give you a bone to gnaw on."

"Second brother, he called you a dog!"

A tall, robust man in fine clothes spoke; this man was none other than the third master of the Xuanyuan family, Xuanyuan Jingxuan.

"I know."

Seeing Xuan Yuan Jingyi's furious outburst, Xuan Yuan Jingxuan laughed instead: "Haha, Second Brother, your verbal skills are useless. Let me handle this."

After speaking, Xuanyuan Jingxuan walked past Xuanyuan Guoqi and Xuanyuan Jingyi, who had remained silent, and walked towards Zhou Chengan.

He rested his hands on the edge of his red agate belt, his gaze sweeping sideways, giving off an air of looking down on all living beings.

Many people's expressions tightened when they saw him about to make a move.

Among the three branches of the Xuanyuan family, the eldest son, Xuanyuan Jingcheng, is a good-for-nothing who only knows how to study, while the second son, Xuanyuan Jingyi, is shrewd and resourceful, and has absorbed a lot of formidable forces in the martial arts world.

As for the third son, Xuanyuan Jingxuan, he is making great strides in martial arts, and it is said that his future achievements will be no less than those of his father, Xuanyuan Guoqi.

"What a beauty! She's really pretty, especially that little mouth...tsk tsk tsk..."

Xuanyuan Jingxuan looked Zhou Chengan up and down, his lewdness in his eyes undisguised.

This third brother of the Xuanyuan family not only possessed the martial arts talent of his ancestor, Xuanyuan Dapan, but was also lecherous and dissolute by nature, and even openly flirted with his sister-in-law.

—Dumplings are delicious, but nothing tastes better than my sister-in-law's.

Zhou Chengan glanced at him and said indifferently, "Do you want to die?"

"I want to die?" Xuan Yuan Jingxuan was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter: "My beauty, you don't think you're invincible just because you killed a few guest elders and cut off my second brother's arm, do you? Do you know what realm I'm in now after receiving guidance from the ancestor and replenishing my Qi Sea with elixirs?"

Zhou Cheng'an said calmly, "He's a bit stronger than that good-for-nothing Xuan Yuan Jingyi. He's at the peak of the second rank and will skip the Vajra realm and enter the Finger Profound realm."

"You have a good eye."

Xuanyuan Jingxuan smiled proudly.

Xuanyuan Jingyi's expression darkened. His third brother was about to reach the Finger Profound Realm. Wouldn't that mean that no matter how hard he tried in the future, he would only ever be a foil for his third brother?

"I really don't understand, what are you so proud of?"

Zhou Cheng'an looked completely bewildered, then sneered, "Your Qi Sea is unstable. This kind of forced growth is nothing more than a tree without roots. It won't benefit your martial arts in the long run. You're just a little stronger than that good-for-nothing Xuan Yuan Jingyi. You're both good-for-nothings!"

"Hahaha, yes, yes, my little beauty, whatever you say is right, my stomach is about to hurt from laughing."

As Xuanyuan Jingxuan spoke with a smile, his expression suddenly darkened. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, leaped high into the air, and moved with lightning speed, instantly appearing in front of Zhou Chengan.

With a flick of his wrist, he concentrated his energy into his palm and slammed it down on Zhou Cheng'an's shoulder. The air surged and exploded, and with a ferocious look on his face, he roared, "How dare you act so presumptuously in my Huishan! Kneel down before me!"

However, when he pressed down with seven or eight tenths of his strength, Zhou Chengan did not budge an inch, as if it were just a speck of dust landing on his shoulder.

"If you want me to kneel down, then you should kneel down before me!"

Zhou Cheng'an raised his arm and placed his hand on Xuan Yuan Jingxuan's shoulder.

A powerful force pressed down like a raging river. Xuanyuan Jingxuan could only hold on for a moment before he could no longer withstand the force and collapsed to his knees with a thud.

The hard blue bricks crumbled inch by inch, and his knees sank deep into the ground.

Xuanyuan Jingxuan's eyes were bloodshot, his pupils seemed about to burst. He tried his best to stand up, but the hand pressing on his shoulder was like a mountain, making his bones creak.

"go to hell!"

Xuanyuan Jingxuan's face was contorted with pain. He roared madly, gathered all his energy, and threw a punch at Zhou Chengan.

Because he was kneeling on the ground, the punch would at most hit his abdomen.

However, a peak second-grade cultivator fighting desperately should not be underestimated.

Before the fist even reached him, Zhou Cheng'an pressed down on Xuan Yuan Jingxuan's shoulder again, unleashing a surge of powerful physical strength once more.

Click!

Click, click!

The sound of bones cracking came from Xuanyuan Jingxuan's shoulder.

Then, as if triggering a chain reaction, the sound of bones cracking and breaking spread from his shoulder downwards, like a string of firecrackers.

In the blink of an eye, apart from the neck up, Xuanyuan Jingxuan had no intact bones left on his body.

When Zhou Chengan released his hand from his shoulder, he collapsed like a rag doll.

With his peak second-grade strength, he would be hard to die in a short time, but the pain of having his bones shattered was something that ordinary people could not bear. For Xuan Yuan Jingxuan, it would be better to just die now.

Life is better than death!

"You, with such weak strength, what are you pretending for in front of Master Dao?"

Zhou Cheng'an lifted his foot and placed it on Xuan Yuan Jingxuan's head, saying with a look of pity, "It must be very painful, but it's alright, this humble Taoist will help you get rid of it!"

"stop!"

Xuanyuan Guoqi roared, but Zhou Chengan showed no sign of stopping.

With a powerful kick, Xuanyuan Jingxuan's head exploded like a watermelon, but not a single drop of filth touched Zhou Chengan.

Speaking of which, he exploded more than ten heads in less than half an hour today. Shouldn't we change his nickname "Monday Hammer" to "Skull Crusher"?

"you you……"

Xuanyuan Guoqi was so angry that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence. Zhou Cheng'an smiled faintly: "What do you mean 'you'? You only told me to stop, not to stop."

Xuanyuan Guoqi: "..."

Of all the people present, no one expected that Zhou Chengan would kill Xuan Yuan Jingxuan so readily.

That person is a powerful individual who could very well become the head of the Xuanyuan family and advance to the first-rank master.

He just stomped on the head and smashed it without hesitation.

Whether they were martial arts practitioners or members of the Xuanyuan family, everyone present felt as if a stone was stuck in their throats, unable to utter a single word.

They could only stare at Zhou Cheng'an with blank, fearful, terrified, and incredulous eyes.

Among them, Xuanyuan Jingyi's expression was particularly interesting.

Surprise, fear, hatred... all sorts of expressions were perfectly mixed together, finally turning into an undisguised joy. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, but he quickly lowered his head to avoid being discovered.

The eldest brother, Xuanyuan Jingcheng, was devoted to his studies and was very timid. He wouldn't dare to get angry even if someone urinated on his head.

He posed no threat whatsoever.

The third brother, Xuanyuan Jingxuan, is exceptionally talented and highly regarded by the patriarch and his father, making him his biggest rival in the competition for the position of family head.

Upon learning that the other party was about to skip the Vajra Realm and enter the Finger Profound Realm, Xuanyuan Jingyi was already prepared to give up the competition for the position of family head.

But now, Xuanyuan Jingxuan is dead.

Then the position of family head is none other than Xuanyuan Jingyi's!
The dream he had cherished for so many years was now almost within reach. If the timing hadn't been so unfortunate, Xuan Yuan Jingyi would have laughed wildly to the heavens.

Haha, don't laugh!

It wouldn't be good if others saw this; he's my own brother, with whom I share blood ties!

"You smiled?"

Zhou Cheng'an's voice suddenly rang out, his eyes seemingly able to see through all of Xuan Yuan Jingyi's thoughts, and he rebuked him sharply with a playful expression.

"Xuanyuan Jingyi, your brother is dead, and you're still laughing so happily? Are you even human?!"
For the sake of the so-called position of head of the family, you have even disregarded the bonds of brotherhood!
Pooh!
I despise you!
"Old man Xuanyuan, aren't you going to discipline your good-for-nothing son?"

Xuanyuan Jingyi panicked when his thoughts were exposed in public and hurriedly said, "You're talking nonsense, Father! I didn't!"

Xuanyuan Guoqi ignored him and simply stepped forward and called out.

"Master Zhou."

Zhou Cheng'an had no good feelings towards the entire Xuanyuan family. After nodding in response, he kicked Xuanyuan Jingxuan's corpse over.

Xuanyuan Guoqi was praised by a master as a born sword prodigy from a young age, so he learned swordsmanship early on and his swordsmanship was not weak. However, his ability to deflect force was mediocre, and he even had to use a portion of his own true energy to steadily catch Xuanyuan Jingxuan's corpse.

Holding his youngest son, Xuanyuan Guoqi trembled all over and couldn't help but let out a long howl, filled with grief and indignation.

Even though the Xuanyuan family didn't place much importance on blood ties, the old man was still filled with immense grief and indignation at the thought of a parent outliving their child.

Zhou Cheng'an remained calm and said indifferently, "Those who kill will be killed in return. How many people have died at the hands of that bastard Xuan Yuan Jingxuan? It's normal for wanderers to die in the martial world."

"What a fine saying, 'He who kills will be killed by others,' hahaha..."

Xuanyuan Guoqi laughed in anger, and the ancient sword at his waist named "Baopu" seemed to sense its master's anger and killing intent, its sword energy soaring into the sky.

"This old man is going to risk his life to help me take care of Miss Jiang."

Zhou Chengan turned around and said this to Lin Ya.

Why should I help you?

Despite saying that, Lin Ya still shielded Jiang Yu behind him.

Seeing this, Zhou Cheng'an turned around and looked at Xuan Yuan Guoqi, and slowly said: "As the head of the Xuan Yuan family, you should know that Xuan Yuan Dapan forcibly took women to be his cauldrons."

So... killing you wouldn't be entirely unjust, but unfortunately, I'll need your son's help in the future. For Xuanyuan Jingcheng's sake, I'll spare your life today!

His voice wasn't loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.

In the minds of all the martial arts practitioners present, there was only one thought.

—This week's Monday hammer was absolutely insane!

As for the members of the Xuanyuan family, they all roared in anger.

"Insanity!"

Xuan Yuan Guoqi did not speak. His eyes were bloodshot. He put down Xuan Yuan Jingxuan's body and suddenly drew the Baopu sword from his waist.

The sword light pierced the air for ten feet, shattering the ground inch by inch, and slashed straight towards Zhou Cheng'an, vowing to cut the enemy who killed his son into a thousand pieces.

"Such powerful swordsmanship. Although this Xuanyuan family head is not as good as the Xuanyuan family's ancestor now, his future achievements may not be inferior."

"Well, even if this sword strike can't compare to Deng Tai'a's, it's still top-tier in the martial arts world."

The faces of the martial arts practitioners were tinged with emerald green by the sword light, greatly shocked by the power of the Xuanyuan Kingdom's weapon.

No wonder the Xuanyuan family head still had the courage to attack after seeing Zhou Yichui cripple Xuanyuan Jingxuan in one move; his cultivation was indeed unfathomable.

"Father, kill him!"

Xuanyuan Jingyi roared fiercely.

Within the Xuanyuan family, the Xuanyuan National Treasure is what everyone considers to be the strongest fighting force, aside from the ancestor Xuanyuan Dapan.

No one thinks he will lose.

In fact, Xuanyuan Guoqi was indeed very strong. He was a grandmaster of swordsmanship, and his three-foot-long sword was imbued with immortal energy. Even the Dongyue Sword Pool, whose swordsmanship was second only to the Wu Family Sword Tomb, regarded him as their number one major threat.

Legend has it that Xuanyuan Guoqi can wield a sword ten zhang long to take a life. His swordsmanship is unparalleled in the southeast. His strength is second only to the ancestor Xuanyuan in the entire Huishan region.

There was no way around it; the main reason was that Xuanyuan Jingcheng hid it too well. Even the Xuanyuan family didn't know his cultivation level, let alone others.

Zhou Chengan stood motionless, like a mountain, until the sword light was almost upon him before he made his move.

The large hand suddenly opened, reaching forward with a flawless, crystal-clear luster, and grasped at the sword energy.

Others thought Zhou Cheng'an was courting death; how could a mortal body withstand the sword energy that could cut through gold and jade?

But in the eyes of the Xuanyuan Kingdom, this hand continued to grow larger and larger, as if in the blink of an eye it had already covered the sky and was grabbing at him from all directions.

boom!
The sword energy clashed with the smooth palm, then collapsed with a roar, scattering in all directions and shattering the surrounding fragments.

Xuanyuan Guoqi's expression darkened slightly. With a flick of his wrist, the sword light spun and changed continuously, each move deadly and mysteriously powerful, displaying the aura of a grandmaster of swordsmanship.

Zhou Cheng'an's five fingers swirled, causing the air to crackle and pop. His entire hand seemed to transform into a five-finger mountain, and no matter how the sword technique of the Xuanyuan Kingdom weapon changed, it could never escape the control of this hand.

Everyone was shocked.

Xuanyuan Guoqi's swordsmanship is so high that it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is one of the top swordsmen in the world.

There were many experts present, but Lin Ya was probably the only one confident that he could withstand ten of his moves without dying.

But Zhou Cheng'an remained calm and collected, effortlessly countering the attack of the Xuanyuan National Weapon with a single hand—truly a miraculous feat.

Amazing!
