Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"Don't hold back!"

"Send him on his way!"

Upon seeing this, Elder Sun waved his hand with a ferocious expression.

boom--!!!

All the attacks came crashing down at that moment.

------

On the other side...

"My master has ordered that I escort you two away!"

Just then, a dark figure appeared silently beside Zhou Xiyan and her sister.

It was Zhixiang.

"But..." Zhou Xiyan wanted to say something more.

Zhixiang, however, scooped up the two sisters and said, "No buts, let's go!"

When Zhou Xiyan turned around to look.

The area where Yang Xian was located was now completely enveloped in blinding white light.

Her heart shattered in that instant.

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"It's my fault...it's my fault that he got hurt..."

"He could have escaped on his own... He did it all to save us..."

"It was Yang Xian who risked his life to create a chance for us to escape..."

Her voice was hoarse, filled with endless regret and pain.

"Master is unfathomable, nothing will happen." Zhixiang's voice was as cold and calm as ever. "Miss Zhou, we must leave immediately and not waste the opportunity created by Master."

Are you trying to comfort me...?

With such devastating power, how could anyone possibly survive...?

This has never happened before in history.

But Zhou Xiyan knew that going back now would only be a pointless death.

It was a betrayal of the opportunity that Yang Xian had risked his life for.

She took one last look at the direction of the raging energy and made a vow in her heart.

Yang Xian, if you can come back alive...

My life, Zhou Xiyan's life, belongs to you from this day forward.

Whether as a slave or a maid, I will never utter a word of complaint!

------

"Is it... over?"

A disciple of the Righteous Path Alliance asked in a trembling voice.

Everyone stared intently at the center of the cloud of smoke.

The attack landed amidst billowing smoke and dust, the aftershocks of energy still lingering in the air.

Gradually, the smoke and dust dissipated.

"wrong!"

"There's light inside!"

But the sight inside made everyone present gasp in shock.

A gigantic ice dragon, constructed entirely of ice, was coiled in the center of the courtyard.

The dragon's body was crystal clear, with distinct scales and armor, radiating a chilling aura.

"Damn it."

"It's exhausting to act alongside you bunch of newbies."

Protected by the coiled ice dragon, Yang Xian stood there unharmed, even having the leisure to dust off non-existent dust from his shoulders.

Look at the ugly faces of these people.

You also have to constantly control the force you use, for fear of accidentally using too much force and killing these people.

I'm really upset!

"He's...he's not dead?!" Elder Sun's smugness vanished, replaced by shock in his eyes.

"How could he not be dead?!"

"Under the Heavenly Net Demon-Slaying Formation, no one can survive!"

"Hurry! Hurry!! Continue setting up the formation! Wear him down!"

"Stop setting up the formation." A detached voice suddenly rang in his ear.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Xian had already arrived in front of Elder Sun.

"Can't you see the difference in strength between us?"

"If I wanted to, none of you would even last a single move."

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually waved his hand.

“Pah!”

A crisp slap sounded.

Elder Sun immediately spun around and flew out, crashing into a wall with a loud bang and being buried under the rubble.

Yang Xian's figure flashed and appeared on the ruins.

He stomped on Elder Sun's head, who had just struggled to crawl out, and crushed his face into the mud.

"How embarrassing, Elder Sun."

"You never thought you'd be able to be trampled under my feet, did you?

"Help...help me!" Elder Sun roared incoherently, "Help me! Yang Xian is holding out against the formation; his internal energy must be depleted! He's just bluffing!"

Yang Xian chuckled softly.

"Whether it's available or not, you'll know once you try it."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the enormous ice dragon suddenly roared to the sky, followed by the arrogant hall masters.

"It's coming! Maintain formation!"

"We can't stop it! We can't stop it at all! The formation is broken! Everyone, run!"

In an instant, screams, shouts, and sounds of panicked escape filled the air.

Most of the disciples instantly collapsed and scattered in all directions.

so horrible!

This is even more terrifying than the legendary invincible demon!

The once kind and gentle Alliance Leader Yang is actually so ruthless!

Why should we go against him?

"This...this..."

Seeing this hellish scene before him, Elder Sun, who was being trampled underfoot, completely broke down.

Their most prized formation was broken in an instant, and the entire Righteous Alliance was now awash in blood.

Powerless, he abandoned all dignity and begged for mercy with tears streaming down his face:

"Yang Xian! No! Alliance Leader Yang!"

"I was wrong! I was really wrong! Please spare my life!"

"I can clear your name and put you back in the position of leader!"

"Money! Beautiful women! Endless riches and luxury! Just ask, and I can give you anything you want..."

The next moment, Yang Xian slightly loosened his grip:

"Don't worry, how could I bear to kill Elder Sun?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Sun's eyes flashed with the wild joy of surviving a calamity.

There's definitely potential!

I knew it! How could anyone refuse the position of leader?

As long as Yang Xianneng returns, with his strength and my methods, the Righteous Alliance will soon regain its former glory.

Their status in the martial arts world could even rise to a higher level!

But Yang Xian's next words plunged him into an icy abyss:

"Unfortunately, I don't think I'm interested in any of what Elder Sun has to say."

"I'm not killing you because I think it's too easy on you."

"Don't you value power, status, and reputation the most?"

"I'll let you see for yourself how everything you cherish will vanish into nothingness."

Yang Xian's foot suddenly pressed down.

"Snap!"

A clear cracking sound rang out, followed by Elder Sun's inhuman scream.

"Ahhh—!"

He could feel the internal energy he had cultivated throughout his life was rapidly draining away from his dantian.

His martial arts skills have been crippled!

But it's not over yet.

Yang Xian then kicked him several more times, decisively breaking all four of his limbs.

"You'll experience what it's like to have your tendons and veins severed!"

"By the way, I will expose all your dirty deeds, including colluding with nobles, disregarding human life, and framing others."

"I'll ruin your reputation and make you spend the rest of your life begging on the streets like an unwanted dog."

"Wouldn't that be more painful for you than death?"

After saying that, Yang Xian withdrew his foot and walked towards Elder Sun's room.

Everything that has been done will inevitably leave traces.

No matter how well it's hidden, there will always be some clues.

At worst, I can just spend some points and ask the system for help...

Elder Sun let out a heart-wrenching howl, his eyes filled with endless despair and fear.

"No--!"

"don't want--!!"

"I am Elder Sun, who is above all others!"

"You can't do this to me..."

"Come back, Yang Xian, come back to me right now!"
