Chapter 74

Tao Er looked at Xiao Yan and said indifferently, "This black-clothed boy is of no use. Just pry open his mouth and interrogate him."

Yu Tian, hearing this, also looked at Xiao Yan and smiled with ill intent, "Good, it suits my purpose." As he spoke, he waved his hand, and several Yu family cultivators surrounded Xiao Yan, ready to capture him.

Xiao Yan watched this coldly and suddenly said, "Do you think you've planned everything too well?" He released the black iron greatsword in his hand, and it crashed to the ground, sending dust flying.

He extended both hands forward, and mana gathered in his palms, forming two solid flames. The flames burned fiercely, then compressed, and compressed again, until they became two dark red light balls.

Seeing these light balls, Tao Er and Yu Tian's expressions changed slightly, "Red Lotus Break, Tai Xu Temple?"

Xiao Yan's expression was cold, and he pushed his hands forward, sending the two light balls flying toward the approaching Yu family cultivators.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two massive flames burst forth instantly, and before the two Yu family cultivators could react, their bodies were blown into a cloud of blood mist!

The roaring flames instantly devoured the flesh and blood, turning them into ashes, leaving not a trace behind.

Two large craters were blasted into the ground, with deep gullies crisscrossing, and the entire cliff seemed to be splitting apart.

The others watched the gruesome scene in shock. Although they were all seasoned killers with blood on their hands, seeing their companions obliterated by Xiao Yan's Red Lotus Break made everyone shiver.

Tao Er's eyes flickered, "Capture them, alive. Find out their origins." The cultivators from the Hou Mansion also surrounded them.

As Xiao Yan took action, Zhu Yi and Xiao Budian also charged forward, using the cover of the Red Lotus Break's flames to instantly break into the enemy ranks.

Thunder surged from their bodies, and for a moment, lightning flashed, dyeing everyone's vision a bluish-purple.

In the next moment, two massive lightning blades appeared in the sky, intersecting to form a cross, slicing through the air like scythes.

Raging Lightning Blades!

Xiao Budian and Zhu Yi, who practiced the Nine Heavens Thunder Righteousness, together unleashed the Raging Lightning Blades taught by Lin Feng. The violent lightning blades sliced through everything in their path, reaping lives ruthlessly.

"Capture the leader first!" Zhu Yi shouted, drawing his longsword from his waist. Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian did the same.

The sword technique of Wu Fang's flying swords and the evasion technique of Yun Long's escape were displayed to the fullest by the three disciples, transforming into three long rainbows that shot toward Yu Tian.

They chose the easier targets; the three of them were not foolish enough to confront Tao Er, who was even strong at the Golden Core stage.

Yu Tian did not expect these three boys, who appeared to be only at the Qi Condensation stage, to be so fierce, with powerful mana and astonishing abilities, causing his subordinates to be thrown into chaos.

Seeing them all charge at him, Yu Tian laughed coldly, "Come on, then." He formed a hand seal, and a crystal bottle flew out of his sleeve. It was initially the size of a thumb but grew to over ten meters tall, with a mouth about a meter wide.

The crystal bottle emitted a powerful suction, trying to draw Xiao Yan and the others inside.

Xiao Yan shouted, "Stop!" and also activated the Thunder Zen, causing a burst of Buddha light that resisted the crystal bottle's suction.

But this delay disrupted Xiao Yan's attack, and Yu Tian sneered, activating the Yu family's secret technique, Xuan Ming Jue. The vast mana pressure made it hard for Xiao Yan and the others to breathe.

Tao Er praised, "Young Master Yu truly lives up to being a direct descendant of the Yu family, with a solid foundation at such a young age."

Yu Tian's cultivation was far higher than Xiao Budian and the others. Even fighting three at once, he was still at ease. A white, cold mist almost formed a dome, enveloping the three, making them feel their mana flow sluggish and their bodies freezing.

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, "I'll risk it." He discarded his longsword and suddenly picked up the heavy and cumbersome black iron greatsword.

"If we are truly destined to meet today, help me overcome this crisis." Xiao Yan clenched his teeth, his mind completely merging with the black iron greatsword.

"Boom!"

As soon as he did, Xiao Yan immediately knew he had stirred a hornet's nest.

Like a world-renowned tyrant who had been sleeping for ages, suddenly awakened, and let out the most terrifying roar!

In Xiao Yan's mind, there was only fire, purple fire, endless fire! The flames, like an ocean, dyed the entire space a terrifying and evil purple!

"Huh?" Tao Er's eyes widened, and the originally half-dead-looking Elder Yue's expression also became more serious.

Amidst the white mist, a deep purple, nearly ten-meter-long, door-wide flame greatsword shot up, piercing through the cold mist!

Xiao Yan roared, holding the flame greatsword high above his head, pointing it at the sky, his momentum fierce like a fire deity descending to cleanse all evil. All enemies would be burned to ashes!

Yu Tian was stunned, watching Xiao Yan's sword tear through the cold mist and strike toward him!

The raging flames sliced through the sky, almost tearing the air apart, leaving a dark purple trail that lingered for a long time.

This one strike would annihilate all enemies below the Golden Core stage!

Elder Yue could no longer stand by, and he coldly snorted.

A black stone mountain suddenly appeared in front of Yu Tian, ancient, heavy, and unbreakable!

Xiao Yan's cultivation was far below Yu Tian's, and the flame greatsword was blocked by the black stone mountain. Although it shook the mountain, it could not break through Elder Yue's defensive spell.

The flame greatsword exploded, and the flames scattered, causing the surrounding Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment cultivators to scatter in panic.

Elder Yue exhaled, "Good guy!" He did not show mercy, forming a hand seal, and the black stone mountain flew up, pressing down on Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan watched helplessly, but he had no strength left to attack. The black iron greatsword fell heavily to the ground, and his mana was exhausted, unable to move even a finger.

"You can give me this sword too," Elder Yue's voice came from behind. Xiao Yan wanted to resist, but the black stone mountain pressed him to the ground, and the black iron greatsword was snatched away.

Elder Yue waved the black iron greatsword, "It's indeed not an ordinary item, but it's not something you deserve." As he spoke, he increased his mana, and the black stone mountain shrank to the size of a millstone but became heavier, pinning Xiao Yan to the ground.

"Tell me, where is your master?"

Xiao Yan lay on the ground, clenching his teeth, not saying a word. His bones creaked, about to be crushed by Elder Yue's spell!

Zhu Yi and Xiao Budian cried out, "Big Brother!"

"Silence!" Xiao Yan roared, blood seeping from his seven orifices. He struggled to turn his head toward Elder Yue, Yu Tian, and Tao Er, "Old ghost, don't be hasty. My master will one day find you and settle the score, cutting off your dog heads!"

Tao Er walked over, expressionless, "That day will never come. The result will be me killing him. It's a pity you won't see that exciting moment."

Yu Tian, still shaken, finally came to his senses, his face dark as he stared at Xiao Yan. He never expected to be nearly killed by a Qi Condensation Ninth Layer boy. He was now both angry and embarrassed, "Elder Yue, break this little brat's bones."

He stared at Xiao Yan, smiling cruelly, "You are loyal to your master, but is it useful? A master who can't protect his own disciple is useless, just a coward."

Xiao Yan roared, "Nonsense!"

Elder Yue increased the pressure, and Xiao Yan's bones began to crack, causing him to sweat coldly. Elder Yue said coldly, "I'll give you one more chance. Tell me where your master is, and I'll give you a quick death."

"You, dream on!" Xiao Yan said, each word a struggle, using all his strength.

Zhu Yi and Xiao Budian wanted to charge forward but were surrounded by the cultivators from the Xuan Ji Hou Mansion and the Yu family, outnumbered and about to be captured.

Tao Er looked at Zhu Yi and said slowly, "Young Master Yi, did you see? Perhaps that demon is nearby, watching his disciple suffer but not daring to come out to save him. What use is it to have such a useless master?"

Zhu Yi remained silent, his face grim.

Yu Tian walked to Xiao Yan's side, stepping on his back, and laughed, "Mr. Tao Er is mistaken. Looking at this black-clothed boy, a useless person worships a useless master, a perfect match."

Xiao Yan's eyes turned blood red, "Don't call me useless!" The helplessness of today reminded him of his dark three years.

Yu Tian laughed, "I called you useless, what can you do?"

"Nothing, just leave your life behind."

A cold, indifferent voice suddenly echoed in the air.

Yu Tian's smile froze, and everyone's expressions changed.

Tao Er and Elder Yue's gazes turned to the distance, where two figures appeared.

One was a thin, small boy, closely following another.

The other was a young Taoist in a white robe with wide sleeves and a feathered star cap, staring at them expressionlessly.

Zhu Yi and Xiao Budian called out simultaneously, "Master!"

Xiao Yan, who was in a semi-comatose state, saw the newcomer and his eyes showed a weak glimmer of light, and he chuckled.

Lin Feng looked at the bloodied black-clothed boy, paused for a moment, then nodded without a word, but Xiao Yan understood his meaning.

Turning to face Yu Tian and the others, Lin Feng had only one thing to say.

"Step forward and die!"
