This was the Sword Qi of the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword, and its power was limitless.

Any of the Fang Family’s Grandmasters who tried to resist were pierced through by the Sword Qi. Only a few who dodged managed to evade it. Screams echoed in the air as the figures of Grandmasters fell from all directions, their blood staining the sky.

In that single moment, half of the Fang Family’s Grandmasters met their demise.

He’s too powerful! Ye Tian was incredibly shocked, and Ye Fei was thrilled. The remaining Fang Family Grandmasters, however, were petrified with fear.

Fang Qingyu’s scalp tingled. Thank goodness I dodged. If I had tried to resist, I would have certainly died.

She dared not flee again. Instead, she addressed the few remaining Grandmasters, "Come back! Don’t flee separately! He’s too strong; none of us are a match for him one-on-one. Let’s unite and fight him together!"

Upon hearing this, the surviving Grandmasters retreated. There were now eight of them left alive.

Fang Qingyu took a deep breath and said, "Let’s join forces and eliminate this brat."

The Spiritual Power of the eight warriors burst forth as they jointly unleashed the Flaming Divine Fist. Their fists transformed into a meteor shower, raining down and instantly enveloping Lin Xuan.

But Lin Xuan was completely unfazed.

He swung the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword and slashed downward. The meteor shower that filled the sky was completely shattered.

Fang Qingyu and her companions were also sent flying. They were defeated. Even with all eight of them combined, they were no match for him.

How can this be? The members of the Fang Family despaired, and Fang Qingyu’s face was ashen.

Now she finally understood why her Third Uncle had been injured and why even the Qiankun Mountain and River Map couldn’t suppress their opponent. The Sword Qi emanating from him was terrifying!

What grade is that Treasure Sword? How can its power be so immense?!

Lin Xuan ignored Fang Qingyu and the others, his gaze fixed on the Fang Family’s Third Uncle instead. He’s a Five-Star Grandmaster. It would be troublesome if he found a chance to escape.

Therefore, Lin Xuan prepared to eliminate him first.

He wielded the Divine Sword and charged at the Fang Family’s Third Uncle. The Third Uncle’s face changed drastically as he tried to flee, but it was useless.

Lin Xuan swung the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword with all his might, and a peerless blade of light tore through the void.

The Third Uncle was cleaved in two. A powerful Five-Star Grandmaster had died, just like that.

"Third Uncle!" Fang Qingyu exclaimed in shock. The other members of the Fang Family wore faces of utter despair.

After dealing with the Five-Star Grandmaster, Lin Xuan turned his gaze back to Fang Qingyu and the others.

Fang Qingyu startled. "What do you want?"

"My grandfather is the Fang Family’s ancestor, a Grandmaster! If you kill me, he will never spare you!"

"Still daring to threaten me?" Lin Xuan slapped her across the face, sending her flying. Her face swelled instantly. She clutched her cheek, crying out in pain.

Lin Xuan snorted coldly. "I see you haven’t grasped your current situation. You still dare to threaten me? Do you really think I won’t kill you?" After speaking, Lin Xuan slapped her a few more times.

Fang Qingyu’s delicate face was immediately swollen from the blows. She covered her face and wept, but she no longer dared to threaten Lin Xuan. She even bowed her head, not daring to look at him, terrified that if she angered him, he would truly strike a killing blow.

The other Grandmasters of the Fang Family quickly spoke up, "Young Master Lin, we were wrong! We apologize! We hope you will spare us this once, for the sake of the Fang Family. We’ll release the hostage immediately. How about we consider the grudge between us settled?"

"’Settled?’" Lin Xuan sneered. He raised his hand, and with a single sword strike, he instantly cleaved one of the Fang Family’s Grandmasters in two.

"Weren’t you trying to kill me just a moment ago? Weren’t you trying to capture Ye Qingwu? Now you’re begging for mercy? Too late!"

With that, Lin Xuan struck again, slaying a second Grandmaster from the Fang Family.

"You’re going too far!" another Grandmaster roared. But the words had barely left his mouth before his head went flying.

Lin Xuan snorted coldly. "What, are you dissatisfied?"

Everyone was stunned.

The few remaining Grandmasters dared not make another move. This young man was too terrifying, his methods too ruthless and decisive.

What do we do? We’re doomed.

They were resigned to their own deaths, but Fang Qingyu was another matter. It doesn’t matter if we die, but Fang Qingyu cannot. She is the granddaughter of a Grandmaster; she can’t perish here.

Thinking of this, they said, "Qingyu, go! We’ll hold him off! Go back and ask the Ancestor to avenge us!"

After speaking, the remaining Grandmasters charged swiftly at Lin Xuan.

"Overestimating yourselves." Lin Xuan sneered, wielding the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword and striking forward.

The Grandmasters made no attempt to dodge or even defend themselves. They simply mobilized the Spiritual Power within them frantically. Their bodies swelled like balloons before suddenly bursting apart.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A destructive aura erupted.

"No!" Fang Qingyu roared, her eyes instantly turning crimson.

These Grandmasters all died for her. She couldn’t waste this chance.

She turned and fled. She had to escape back to the family and beg her grandfather to take action. Her clansmen would not die in vain.

Fang Qingyu soared into the air, about to dash into the distance. But just then, the destructive storm behind her was split open by a sword strike.

Lin Xuan, holding the Divine Sword, walked out. "So what if you fight to the death? You still can’t do anything to me."

"What?" Fang Qingyu whipped her head around, staring at the scene, completely dumbfounded.

The desperate, combined attack of five Grandmasters couldn’t even harm him? How could this be?

She stood frozen, her heart sinking into a pit of despair. She knew she couldn’t escape. Against Lin Xuan’s power, she had no chance of getting away.

To think that I would ultimately die at his hands. Fang Qingyu was filled with utter hopelessness.

Lin Xuan had no intention of sparing her either. He swung the Divine Sword in his hand, slashing towards her. Just as she was about to be cut in half, Fang Qingyu closed her eyes in despair, with no intention of resisting.

As the sword was about to kill her, a booming sound suddenly resonated from within Fang Qingyu’s body. Then, a blue light flew out like a waterfall, intercepting Lin Xuan’s Sword Qi.

BOOM! The two forces collided. The waterfall was severed, but the Sword Qi also dissipated into nothing.

Hmm? It blocked my attack? Lin Xuan was taken aback, his brow furrowing. He had used the Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword, a weapon that even a Five-Star Grandmaster couldn’t block. How did Fang Qingyu do it? Could it be she has some other Treasure? But why didn’t she use it before?

Lin Xuan did not act rashly again. Instead, he focused his gaze on Fang Qingyu. Mysterious symbols flickered in his eyes as he activated his Pupil Technique, seemingly trying to see right through her.

One by one, water droplets appeared on Fang Qingyu’s body. Each droplet was covered in mysterious runes. These droplets linked together, forming what looked like a water curtain that enveloped her.

So she really does have a Treasure. Lin Xuan’s brow furrowed even deeper upon seeing the water curtain.

Fang Qingyu opened her eyes, a look of pure shock on her face. I’m not dead? How is that possible? I had already given up resisting, so how am I still alive? Did Lin Xuan spare me? Does he want to capture and torture me?

At that thought, Fang Qingyu nearly fainted from fear. Falling into his hands would be a fate worse than death.

But in the next moment, Fang Qingyu froze.

What are these water droplets? Where did this power come from? Did they save me? she cried out inwardly in astonishment.

Lin Xuan was stunned. What’s going on? Judging by her reaction, she doesn’t recognize these water droplets. Then what happened? Did someone else intervene?

He activated his Pupil Technique: Amaterasu and scanned his surroundings, but he found no one else.

At this point, the Sword Spirit, Dragon Maiden, spoke up. "Master, the power on her is quite peculiar. It’s somewhat like the power of a Water Dragon."

The power of a Water Dragon! Lin Xuan was surprised to hear this. Interesting. This Fang Qingyu is quite mysterious.

He prepared to go all out. But before that, he had to rescue Ye Qingwu.

Lin Xuan slashed at the sky, splitting open the Qiankun Treasure Umbrella. In the next instant, Ye Qingwu and another person flew out. They looked bewildered, their faces still etched with fear.

Lin Xuan struck again, his Sword Qi transforming into a Spirit Dragon that enveloped the two of them. It carried Ye Qingwu and Ye Ruxue, along with Ye Tian and Ye Fei, flying into the distance.

After they had flown far from the manor, the Spirit Dragon’s phantom finally disappeared, and the figures of Ye Qingwu and the others reappeared.

Are we saved? Ye Qingwu wondered, still uncertain.

Ye Ruxue, however, was overcome with excitement. We’re finally safe! She looked at Ye Tian and said, "Brother Tian, thank you for saving us."

Previously, Ye Ruxue and Ye Qingwu had been trapped inside the Qiankun Treasure Umbrella, completely unaware of what had happened outside. They assumed Ye Tian and Ye Fei had rescued them.

Hearing this, Ye Tian gave a wry smile. "Ru Xue, you’re mistaken. It wasn’t us who saved you."

Ye Fei added, "We don’t have that kind of ability."

"Huh?" Ye Ruxue was stunned. It wasn’t Brother Tian and the others who saved us? Then who was it?
