After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

If he were to die, a dead piece of trash wouldn't be worth the Shi family risking offending the Fourth Elder to punish him.

In the end, it will be Shi Yan who offends his elders, and as a result, the Fourth Elder will "accidentally" use too much force and beat Shi Yan to death on the spot.

Can--

What about the reverse?

A useless person who never broke through to the Golden Core Realm before his death, and a rising star who crossed the Qi Refining Realm to assassinate a late Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

It's obvious whose side the Shi family will choose to favor.

The whistling palm wind was already close at hand, carrying poisonous smoke that stung the eyes.

The Fourth Elder revealed a determined expression.

At the speed of an ordinary Qi Refining Realm cultivator, it would be impossible to dodge this masterful strike.

boom--

The palm strike landed heavily on the spot where Shi Yan had just stood, kicking up a cloud of dirt and rocks.

The Fourth Elder was quite pleased with himself.

The reason he hasn't changed his purple-quality "Tu Ming Palm" yet is that he's about to reach the pinnacle of his skill and comprehend the sixth level.

Legend has it that anyone who cultivates any technique to the seventh level can glimpse a corner of the Great Dao.

The Fourth Elder thought that perhaps once he comprehended the sixth level, he could break through to the Golden Core Realm.

Second...

This "Tu Ming Palm" is quite insidious.

The attack creates multiple overlapping shadows and is accompanied by miasma, which interferes with the enemy's vision and judgment.

Although it's somewhat underhanded, it's very useful, and the Fourth Elder really doesn't want to replace it anytime soon.

He stroked his beard, feeling the gentle breeze on his face.

etc...!

He suddenly felt that something was wrong, and turned around abruptly, just in time to see the "boy" sitting leisurely on the wall of his yard.

Behind the "boy" hung a series of small, verdant hurricane swords.

——"Spring Breeze Sword".

The Fourth Elder was not given any further chance to react.

Or perhaps... Shi Yan was simply there to enjoy the Fourth Elder's astonished and embarrassed expression.

Shi Yan raised his left hand.

One after another, wind swords moved at will, slashing directly at the Fourth Elder's body.

Not far away, a group of onlookers cleared a space for the three old men to watch the deadly battle between Shi Yan and the Fourth Elder.

“Shi Yan can’t escape.” The Third Elder observed the battle. “Although he is very clever and has cleverly learned the movement techniques of the Xunfeng lineage.”

"But... movement techniques are ultimately just movement techniques."

"It can only be used once within a few breaths."

"This kid can't dodge Fourth Brother's palm strike."

"That's not necessarily true." The Second Elder looked at Shi Yan's figure sitting on the wall, his expression becoming increasingly complicated.

Previously... this little girl was only at the Body Tempering Realm.

You've reached Qi Refining in the blink of an eye?

Could it be that she really practiced some kind of "Hidden Sword Technique"? Ten years of honing a sword, and when it's drawn, its light chills nineteen provinces?

Sometimes, rumors, if repeated enough, can become the truth.

Moreover, this rumor originated from the mouth of that unparalleled genius of the Ming family.

The second elder frowned.

If it were truly the "Hidden Sword Technique" of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, that would be one thing. What he was truly afraid of was that Shi Yan was practicing some kind of demonic cultivation method.

He knew, though others might not.

This young lady carries the blood of a half-demon sect saintess. If she truly falls into the demonic path, I'm afraid... the entire Yizhou will be in turmoil.

but--

Probably not.

He looked up at the sky.

Even though it was daytime, three stars seemed to be faintly shining in the sky.

That is "Shenxiu".

"The constellation Shen is associated with the White Tiger," and Yizhou... happens to be in the same region as the constellation Shen.

If this young girl were to fall into the demonic path, even the fiercest god of the year... wouldn't choose her, would he?

"How do you know, Second Brother?" Before the Third Elder could finish asking.

Within the battle, Shi Yanyou, who was sitting on the courtyard wall, transformed into the wind. The gale tore through the Fourth Elder's clothes almost instantly, then reformed behind him.

The fourth elder slapped his own family's plaque to pieces.

"This..." The Third Elder was dumbfounded.

“You probably didn’t notice just now.” As the person with the highest cultivation level in the Shi family for the time being, the Second Elder pointed out, “Shi Yan… her movement technique is different from others.”

He was clearly a once-in-a-millennium swordsmanship genius, yet he chose the Xunfeng style of movement techniques.

The Second Elder did not believe that Shi Yan was chosen out of desperation. "Her style is unrestrained and unconventional, wild and unruly."

"Therefore...her movement technique must be extraordinary."

It is faster than most people.

An extraordinary transformation into the wind.

Master Yan toyed with the swirling leaves, while the gale and wind sword completely tore his clothes and dignity apart.

Under the blazing sun, a gaunt old man, draped in tattered rags, his eyebrows, beard, and hair all shaved off, stood there in a rageous, impotent state, wearing only bright red shorts.

It looks like a hard-boiled egg.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!" he cursed angrily, but he couldn't even touch the hem of Shi Yan's clothes.

"How about... we just let them stop like this?" The Fifth Elder wanted to mediate, "so that the Fourth Brother will back down and we can also uphold our master's word."

The Qi Refining Realm is ultimately just the Qi Refining Realm.

Shi Yan will eventually run out of energy, and at that time... she won't be able to withstand a palm strike from a Foundation Establishment cultivator in a fit of rage.

In their view, Shi Yan's attacks were always just "scratching," and scraping can't beat Lao Si.

"No need," the Second Elder stopped the others.

He looked at Shi Yan with a complicated expression.

"Yan Nizi, this is what I owe your father, and also... what I owe you."

If others can't see it, can't he? From the very beginning, the fourth brother had already lost.

That little girl... is drawing her sword.

She is gathering... a deadly, incurable sword.

The master said he wanted to kill with one blow.

Although Po Xie could directly injure the Fourth Elder, it couldn't eliminate him completely; instead, it would alert him.

Therefore, the teacher said to wait.

Wait for the evil spirit of the year to accumulate its power, wait... for an opportunity to strike and kill.

"You bastard! You're just as much of a bastard as your mother's illegitimate child!" the Fourth Elder roared, noticing that Shi Yan's figure suddenly stopped.

very good!

This is the opportunity he's been waiting for.

Young people really don't have the right mindset; they fell for provocation so easily.

He extended his left palm toward Shi Yan.

Unlike before, this time, his entire left arm was stained with blood.

That's the "Blood-Capturing Hand".

The Fourth Elder's unique skill is such that once someone catches him, they can't use any movement techniques.

He kept enduring and waiting.

Now, he has finally gotten his chance.

He was laughing hysterically.

But... he suddenly felt like something was wrong.

The "boy" in front of me seemed a little too calm.

If Shi Yan stopped his movement because he was provoked, then... why is "he" so calm!?

The Fourth Elder didn't figure it out, and perhaps... he won't have the chance to figure it out.

Master said he wielded the sword with his left hand.
