Rebellious Old Servant: From Gatekeeper to Immortal Emperor

If Hongtao remains still, then so be it.

With a single movement, a thunderous strike erupted!

The speed is terrifying, as fast as a blur.

Its power was astonishing; when the large hand grabbed down, it felt as if Mount Tai were pressing down on it.

It can be said that Hong Tao did not underestimate Qin Xiao in the slightest.

He did not deliberately restrain his power because his cultivation level was much higher than Qin Xiao's.

Instead of saying a word, he suddenly attacked while talking to Qin Xiao, unleashing his strongest killing move—the Heavenly Azure Mountain-Breaking Hand.

Hong Tao once used this move to kill a late-stage Bone Refining Realm expert whose strength was comparable to his own.

He was confident that no matter how big Qin Xiao's secrets were or how deep his opportunities were, he wouldn't be able to react in time to his killing move.

however.

Just when he thought he could subdue Qin Xiao with a single move—

Qin Xiao showed no sign of being stunned.

Almost instantly, he unleashed all the qi and blood in his body.

"Mighty Bull Demon Fist!"

A vast and boundless power of blood and qi erupted from Qin Xiao's body.

It briefly coalesced into a blood-red giant bull's afterimage.

boom!

He threw a punch.

The crimson giant bull instantly gathered on Qin Xiao's fist, turning his dark fist into a deep dark red.

Fist and palm meet.

With a loud bang.

A terrifying aftershock erupted.

In an instant, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground beneath their feet, spreading rapidly.

The earth trembled violently.

The Hong family members who had come with Hong Tao were all shocked and almost couldn't stand up straight.

And at the heart of the great war.

Hong Tao and Qin Xiao both staggered back several steps.

In their first encounter, the two were evenly matched.

"You actually managed to block my Heavenly Azure Mountain-Shattering Hand!"

Hong Tao looked at Qin Xiao with a solemn expression, his eyes filled with shock.

"It seems that both the Su family and the Wang family underestimated you. Your strength has already reached the late stage of Bone Refinement."

"Your strength has improved to such an extent in such a short time. If you were given a few more days, what would you become!"

Hong Tao was completely shocked by Qin Xiao's performance.

This old man has only been practicing martial arts for a few days.

Hong Tao started practicing martial arts at the age of eight and has been practicing for over fifty years.

As a result, even after more than fifty years of cultivation, he couldn't compare to this old man in front of him after just half a month.

This made Hong Tao feel deeply wronged and jealous.

Why? This old dog is nothing but a lackey. Why should he get such an amazing opportunity?

But immediately, his gaze towards Qin Xiao became incredibly ardent:

"Very well, Qin Xiao, the more astonishing your performance, the bigger the secret you hold. The more benefits I can reap once I suppress you!"

"Qin Xiao, all your opportunities will become stepping stones for the Hong family. You are doomed today!"

"Enough with the nonsense, old man. You think you can take me down with your meager skills?"

Qin Xiao scoffed. If it had been a day earlier, he would have been trapped here by Hong Tao and would probably have been finished, with nowhere to go.

But his current strength is not as simple as it seems.

"Nonsense!"

Hong Tao sneered, his gaze turning icy as he looked at Qin Xiao.

"You thought that was my strongest power? I was merely testing your strength. Now I've confirmed that your power is at most comparable to the late stage of Bone Refinement!"

"But my true strength is at the peak of the Bone Refining Realm, just one step away from breaking through to the Marrow Refining Realm!"

While they were talking.

Hong Tao's aura suddenly surged.

In an instant, everyone present changed their expressions drastically, feeling a terrifying aura, like that of a prehistoric beast, erupt from Hong Tao's body.

At this moment, Hong Tao's strength was several times greater than before, and every move he made carried a terrifying aura.

They sensed the sudden burst of energy emanating from Hong Tao.

Gao Qiang and the fourth elder of the Su family were both stunned.

No one expected that Hong Tao, who had always presented himself as a late-stage Bone Refining cultivator, would reveal his true identity to the outside world.

His true strength has actually reached the peak of the Bone Refining Realm.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the difference between the later stages and the peak may seem small.

However, in reality, once you reach the peak of Bone Refining, your cultivation level can break through at any time, and you can advance to the Marrow Refining Realm.

It can be said that the peak of Bone Refining can almost be regarded as a quasi-Marrow Refining Realm expert.

Ten late-stage Bone Refining Realm experts are no match for one peak Bone Refining Realm expert!

"Elder Hongtao, you've been hiding your abilities very well."

Gao Qiang stared at Hong Tao in shock, while the fourth elder of the Su family looked drastically different, his eyes filled with apprehension.

Both of them instantly understood why Hong Tao was hiding his true strength.

Because among the three major families in Black Mountain City, the Su family is the weakest, with only one expert at the Marrow Refining Realm.

Both the Wang and Hong families have two top experts at the Marrow Refining Realm.

Originally, the Wang family and the Hong family were evenly matched, while the Su family was able to play both sides. If things continued like this, the situation could be barely maintained.

However, if the Hong family suddenly gains a Marrow Refining Realm expert at this time, the Hong family will inevitably become the dominant force.

At that time, the Su and Wang families, who have already broken off relations, will likely have to immediately band together to deal with the Hong family.

Therefore, Hong Tao cannot reveal that he may advance to the Marrow Refining Realm at any time, otherwise the Wang and Su families will do anything to eliminate him.

But now, in order to capture Qin Xiao, Hong Tao is no longer willing to conceal his strength.

"Qin Xiao, no matter how many secrets you have today, they are useless in the face of absolute power!"

Hong Tao looked down at Qin Xiao with a condescending gaze.

The blood and qi in his body almost boiled, evaporating the surrounding air into a heat wave.

Boom!

"Kneel down right now!"

With a roar, Hong Tao attacked again.

It was still that same move, the Heavenly Azure Mountain-Breaking Hand.

But this time, the move was accompanied by a grand and imposing momentum.

He flipped his palm out.

It was as if the whole world had gone dark.

The phrase "天苍破岳" means to suppress mountains with the power of heaven.

At this moment, Hong Tao unleashed his true power, possessing a formidable aura capable of shattering mountains and sky, making him virtually unstoppable.

This move is unleashed with all its might at this moment.

Hong Tao was confident that he could contend with even a master of the Marrow Refining Realm, and he didn't believe that Qin Xiao had any ability to withstand it.

however.

Faced with such a terrifying move from Hong Tao.

Qin Xiao's expression remained completely unchanged.

His hand, however, had somehow found itself gripping the long sword at his waist.

Then.

Draw the knife!

The Seven Deadly Sins: Gods and Demons Slay!

Swish!

A blade of light that was extremely eerie.

It erupted in an instant.

What a bizarre strike!

Like thunder piercing the darkness.

It's like death bringing destruction!

It symbolizes light and destruction.

It also symbolizes gods and demons.

It represents the ultimate state of life and death.

The God and Demon Kill is the most terrifying move among the Seven Kills of the Infinite Blade Technique.

Once unleashed, the enemy's life or death rests entirely in Qin Xiao's hands.

It can be said that, apart from the sword intent, this move is Qin Xiao's strongest killing move.

This move was unleashed.

moment.

The sky was torn apart!
