Martial Arts: After ten years of sword-drawing, the Sword God must bow his head when he sees me

Chapter 163 Only Friends, Never Enemies

Even though the two understood the origin of Shen Ping'an's sword technique name, they still couldn't find any way to break through the endless waves of sword light that surged like an undercurrent.

He could only desperately channel all the true energy in his body into the protective barrier in front of him and the sword in his hand, trying in an attempt to withstand the seemingly endless sword light around him.

Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned in reality.

After holding out for nearly three breaths, the two Xie family elders at the Celestial Realm level finally gave in and were pierced through by two sword beams.

As their bodies were thrown into the air, the surrounding sword energy tore through their flesh like sharp blades.

When the two landed, their bodies were covered with countless wounds.

The breath vanished completely the moment it landed.

Even with Xie Wangsun and the other two using the Xie family's sword formation, they found it extremely difficult to counter Shen Ping'an's move, let alone now that only Xie Wangsun remained in the arena.

However, in less than a breath, several sword lights pierced through Xie Wangsun's body one after another.

The moment the sword energy and sword intent invaded Xie Wangsun's body, the true energy circulating within Xie Wangsun's body also stagnated.

Without the protective barrier formed by true qi, the remaining sword light passed through Xie Wangsun's body one after another, like swallows returning to their nests.

From then on, there were no more experts at the Celestial Realm within the Divine Sword Manor.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on achieving "Absolute Crushing"! Achievement Treasure Chest *1.]

After glancing at the system notification in front of him, Shen Ping'an glanced at Xie Wangsun's corpse.

He then flicked his right hand, and the sword returned precisely to the scabbard in Qu Feiyan's arms.

She slowly turned around and walked to Gongzi Yu and the others.

After Shen Ping'an approached, Gongzi Yu asked, "It seems that Brother Shen has finished his business?"

Shen Ping'an nodded slightly and said, "I have obtained the explanation I requested."

Hearing Shen Ping'an's words, not only Zhang San Niang and the others, but even Gongzi Yu and Bai Xiaosheng couldn't help but glance at the devastated front courtyard of Shenjian Villa and the corpses of Xie Wangsun, Xie Xiaofeng, and the other two on the ground. Their eyelids twitched involuntarily.

"The explanation that Brother Shen is asking for is something that no power in the world can afford to provide."

Shen Pingan said softly, "So I'll have to take this statement myself."

Upon hearing this, Gongzi Yu opened his mouth, then burst into laughter.

A few moments later, Gongzi Yu asked, "Now that Brother Shen has finished dealing with his business, would you like to watch the show from the sidelines, or would you like to take your leave first?"

Shen Ping'an looked up at the sky.

Compared to when we arrived, the clouds in the sky were now much thicker, and it seemed as if rain could fall from the thick clouds at any moment.

In response, Shen Ping'an said calmly, "The matter is settled, so there is naturally no need for us to stay at Divine Sword Manor any longer."

Gongzi Yu nodded and said, "Alright, after I finish up here, I'll go find Brother Shen for a drink."

"it is good!"

After responding, Shen Ping'an first nodded to Bai Xiaosheng, then shifted his gaze to the other two martial artists wearing Qinglong Society dragon head masks.

However, the two were still clearly shocked by the terrifying strength that Shen Ping'an had just displayed. When they felt Shen Ping'an's gaze, they both lowered their heads in unison.

Only after Shen Ping'an and the others slowly descended the mountain and disappeared from the mountainside did the two men raise their heads again.

The fourth leader of the Azure Dragon Society, whose face mask bore the number "four," looked in the direction Shen Ping'an had left and couldn't help but say, "How can such a prodigy exist in the world, suppressing his cultivation to the first level of the Heavenly Gang Realm and still managing to kill someone while facing an attack from three experts at the Heavenly Human Realm?"

At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly spoke up: "In every era where geniuses emerge in great numbers, there is always one person whose brilliance can overshadow everyone else, making other geniuses pale in comparison."

"Sixty years ago, the one who suppressed all the geniuses in the Ming Dynasty was Zhang Sanfeng of the Wudang School."

"If nothing unexpected happens, after sixty years, it will be this young friend Shen."

Gongzi Yu said, "That's why! People like Brother Shen can only be friends, not enemies." As he spoke, Gongzi Yu glanced at the man in the dark gold robe.

Compared to the four dragon heads, the other dragon head next to him, whose face mask had the number "seven" on it, did not speak, but his gaze kept moving back and forth between Xie Wangsun and Xie Xiaofeng and the other corpses, and there was still a hint of fear in his eyes.

Perhaps to divert attention, the Seven Dragon Heads glanced at the Xie family members in the front courtyard and asked, "Shall we make our move now?"

Gongzi Yu asked, "Has it been confirmed that all members of the Xie family are inside Divine Sword Manor?"

The latter nodded and said, "The Xie family members who travel in the martial world have all been dealt with. The remaining people have also surrounded the Divine Sword Manor, ensuring that no one from the Divine Sword Manor can leave Cuiyun Peak."

Seeing this, Gongzi Yu said, "In that case, there's no need to rush. Since Brother Shen isn't interested in watching us make a move, let's wait until he leaves before we talk about it, so that this massacre won't offend the beauty beside him."

None of the others had any objections to what Gongzi Yu said.

However, after a moment's thought, the Seven Dragon Heads asked, "This boy's strength is beyond what ordinary people can imagine. He also knows the identities of the First and Second Dragon Heads. Will this affect our next plan?"

Gongzi Yu glanced at the latter and said calmly, "It's alright. Our next actions will not conflict with Brother Shen or the Shen family. Brother Shen is not a meddlesome person either, so it won't have any impact."

After saying that, as if noticing the lingering worry in the eyes beneath the Seven Dragon Head Mask, Gongzi Yu changed the subject and said, "Moreover, if there really is a conflict, given Brother Shen's strength, which of your men do you think I should send to deal with him?"

Upon hearing this, the Seven Dragon Heads were taken aback, then shook their heads, a bitter smile emanating from beneath their masks.

Just as Gongzi Yu said, the strength that Shen Ping'an was displaying at this moment was simply too formidable.

Moreover, everyone knew that even when facing Xie Wangsun and two other experts at the Celestial Realm at the same time, Shen Ping'an did not use his full strength.

In the minds of Gongzi Yu and his companions, if there was anyone in the Ming Dynasty who could deal with Shen Ping'an, it could only be the one on Wudang Mountain.

A gentleman deceives others with reason, but judging from Shen Ping'an's behavior after entering the martial world, although he has never actively provoked trouble, once he takes action, he will never hold back.

Furthermore, they all examined the corpses of the martial artists that Shen Ping'an had personally killed afterward.

He slapped the chest twice and then the head once. Even the renowned physicians of the Azure Dragon Society shook their heads at the sight, calling him ruthless and cruel.

Therefore, in everyone's eyes, Shen Ping'an was merely a prodigy, and definitely not a gentleman.

Even if you are not strong enough to face a powerful opponent, you can still find other ways and means to deal with them.

But when the opponent's strength reaches a certain level, all their so-called methods are nothing but a joke.

Moreover, compared to the Wudang Sect master whose temperament and edges seemed to have been smoothed out, Shen Ping'an's sharpness was still strong.

If an attempt is made but fails, the outcome will be like what Shenjian Villa is experiencing now.

In a single day, all the experts at the Celestial Realm perished.

Who would be foolish enough to provoke someone like that unless there's absolutely no need to?
Who would dare to provoke them?

Seeing that the seven dragon heads remained silent, Gongzi Yu then looked at the four dragon heads beside him.

Facing Gongzi Yu's gaze, the four dragon leaders shook their heads decisively and said, "Don't look at me. I joined the Azure Dragon Society for the benefits, not to seek death. With that guy's strength, he probably wouldn't even need to use a second sword to kill me."

Upon hearing this, Gongzi Yu finally withdrew his gaze.

The group did not continue the discussion on this topic.

A moment later, after someone came to report that Shen Ping'an and the others had left, Gongzi Yu waved his hand lightly to acknowledge them.

"Leave no one behind."

As the sound reached everyone's ears, the Qinglong Society members who had previously surrounded the Xie family members all moved in response.

The two dragon heads that had just stood beside Gongzi Yu also transformed into Asuras at this moment, mercilessly slaughtering the Xie family members.

In an instant, the clash of weapons, screams, and sounds of battle shattered the tranquility of Emerald Cloud Peak.

The stench of blood mingled with the lake breeze, spreading to every corner of Cuiyun Peak.
