The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 216 Li Tian's Death
Then, the Third Elder, without any hesitation, smiled and said enviously to the Jade Purity Sect Master, "This boy's talent is no less than Wu Ye's. Tian Jue, you have indeed taken on another good disciple!"

"Is that kid really only at the early stage of the tenth level of cultivation?"

Although they were puzzled as to why the man in purple had been able to conceal his cultivation level right under their noses, the dozen or so legendary elders, being seasoned veterans who had weathered many storms, quickly regained their composure.

Immediately, everyone glanced at the smiling man in the purple-gold crown, assuming that this was a grand gesture from the Jade Purity Sect Master. They inadvertently overlooked the way the Third Elder had addressed the Jade Purity Sect Master.

……

"Judging by the time, Elder Long's men should have succeeded! Fifth Brother, how are the preparations going on your side? Make sure nothing goes wrong!"

"Don't worry, Fourth Brother, I've already secretly sent people to meet you. I estimate they've already succeeded!"

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was focused on the man in purple, the white-haired old man gave a wink, and the black-robed old man immediately understood and quickly transmitted his voice to the white-robed old man.

"So good!"

Hearing the Fifth Elder's confident response, the other two elders' lips curled up slightly, and a faint sneer appeared on their faces.

Boom, boom—!
Immediately afterwards, a piercing explosion filled the entire space, and a sudden gust of wind arose on the dueling platform at the top. That power was far greater than that of the scarred man and his companion, naturally drawing everyone's attention once again.

Two illusory, aged figures flashed like streaks of light, turning the narrow battlefield of sixty meters into a scene of perilous swordplay.

"Whoosh~...!" After exchanging thirty blows, he realized that continuing like this was not a good idea. A streak of light quickly rushed towards the sky above the dueling platform, darting out of the dense area shrouded in the phantoms of swords and blades.

"Five Tigers Open the Mountain...!"

The violent power of the ghosts and gods instantly burst forth from his body. After the kind-faced old man revealed himself, he quickly prepared to let out a roar.

Immediately, a large amount of refined and powerful energy surged into the ferocious blade that was radiating a blue light. Elder Liu Yidao fell from the sky like a meteorite, and at the same time, he was attacked by a terrifying large blade.

This scene caused the wide-eyed crowd to suddenly hold their breath. At the same time, many inner disciples unanimously offered silent prayers for the young old man below who was about to suffer a devastating blow.

more than this……

Perhaps out of fear of witnessing the bloody tragedy, the inner female disciples turned pale, some covering their eyes with their hands, others frowning and turning their heads away.

However, compared to the audience seats, the female core disciples in the VIP seats, though also somewhat uncomfortable, were all staring intently at the dueling platform, watching this rare martial arts competition with great interest.

"Severing breath and drawing blood...!"

Seeing his opponent withdraw and suddenly unleash a powerful attack, Elder Xu's pupils visibly contracted, his face grim. Even though he sensed a strong sense of danger, he still roared back defiantly.

In the next instant, the sword wrapped in red light rushed forward at lightning speed, and amidst the exclamations of the crowd, it eerily created ripples on the water.

This change made the kind-faced old man's eyes narrow. After secretly weighing the options, Liu Yidao made up his mind and withdrew the spare energy that had been used to counteract gravity.

Then, as he erected a protective shield around himself, he increased the force of his attacks even further. Judging from the way he was pushing himself to the limit, it seemed he was preparing for a prolonged and intense assault on the elderly man with hair hanging down below.

"So that's how it is! No wonder this aura felt so familiar! I never imagined it was like this!"

After making another prediction, the purple-clad man, who had easily dodged the attack, secretly released a trace of his spiritual power and quickly directed it to envelop the two elders who were fighting.

Feng Ling had already sensed from the old man's eyes that the kind-faced old man seemed to be very wary of the "Severing Breath and Drawing Blood" move used by the young old man.

Only now, sensing the eerie aura emanating from the sword above, did he suddenly understand. He not only knew why Elder Liu had gone to such lengths to expend energy to create a protective barrier, but he also understood the source of his sense of familiarity.

"Hiss...! That aura is exactly the same as mine! How could this be...!?"

In the front row of the audience, an inner disciple cried out in surprise, but apart from the surrounding inner disciples who glanced at him blankly, it did not attract much attention in the dueling arena, which was becoming increasingly agitated.

"Hmm? No... it seems to have something more than my swordsmanship!" The inner disciple who spoke up breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that not many people had been alerted.

This person is none other than Ke Wei!

Immediately afterwards, Ke Wei stared intently at the old man's sword moves, his eyes flickering as he carefully analyzed them.

If we're talking about who would be most surprised by this aura, it would definitely be Ke Wei and the evil spirit master Xue Wu, who perished early on.

Not bad!

Elder Xu's "Severing Breath and Extracting Blood" is a perfect fusion of the two moves "Severing Breath and Cutting Blood" and "Extracting Blood and Qi". Or to be more precise, these two moves are sub-sword techniques derived from "Severing Breath and Extracting Blood".

However, Ke Wei and Xue Wu, who practiced the two separate sword techniques, were unaware that their strongest sword techniques actually originated from the same mother technique.

Having guessed this key point, and based on his understanding of the characteristics of the Two-Element Technique, Feng Ling could easily explain the purpose of Elder Liu's protective shield—to forcibly resist that strange tearing force!

While this method was feasible, it was extremely clumsy, making Feng Ling inwardly chuckle. While the power of ghosts and gods could resist various energies, the tearing force that drained blood energy was actually transformed from spiritual power through swordsmanship; naturally, using spiritual power for defense was the best approach.

It's just that the two elders' cultivation levels are not high enough. Otherwise, if two legendary experts who are skilled in using spiritual power dared to do this, one of them would definitely suffer a backlash of varying severity.

"boom--!"

Explosions continued incessantly, and swords clashed violently once more. Compared to the two silent young men below, the two old men were like oil and water, more like mortal enemies with a blood feud, engaged in a life-or-death battle.

"Actually, I don't understand why you want to kill me so badly? Of course, besides because of Senior Sister Leng..."

Seemingly sensing something, Feng Ling stopped after creating some distance.

The scarred man opposite him, who was panting heavily, paused for a moment and was about to launch another attack when a question from the other man made him stop and pause in surprise.

Immediately, Li Tian laughed three times, his eyes red, each laugh louder than the last, each laugh filled with increasing hatred. However, due to the intense scene above, few people, except for the elders below the dueling platform, noticed.

"Very well! Feng Ling, before you die, I'll mercifully tell you this, so you can die knowing the truth!"

For reasons unknown, Li Tian suddenly and unusually calmed down, casting a murderous glint in his eyes at the man in purple and coldly saying, "You killed my two half-brothers. I will not be a gentleman if I do not avenge this!"

"Li Si, Li Wu...!?" After quickly recalling the names of the people he had killed in the Jade Purity Sect, Feng Ling frowned in surprise and guessed. Then he saw the other party throw out poison mist with a gloomy face and then grin as he attacked with his sword.

"Sigh~, if that's the case, then you might as well die!"

Before the words were even finished, a spurt of blood slid from the eyes of the scarred man who had fallen to the ground in terror, his vision quickly dimming. The purple-clad demonic figure that had struck like a ghost was forever etched into Li Tian's memory before his death...

Life isn't about persevering because of hope; it's about seeing hope because you persevere.

Amidst the myriad troubles and disturbances of the world, may the sages bring you, the readers, a pure land for your souls.
