Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

The once-powerful leader of the World Society was utterly powerless against Li Xiuyuan's sword energy and was defeated just like that.

Xiong Ba's face turned deathly pale, and he shouted fiercely, "Tianchi assassin, save me!"

As he spoke, he got up and quickly retreated.

Suddenly, countless paper dragonflies appeared in the air, swirling and showering down on Li Xiuyuan like snowflakes falling from the sky.

Paper dragonflies are really just a children's toy made of folded paper.

However, it is infused with fierce true energy, making it a terrifying murder weapon. Wherever it goes, trees break, walls crack, and the ground splits, and then it attacks again and again.

This is the Paper Scholar of the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi!

Seeing that the person behind him remained unmoved, Li Xiuyuan unleashed a powerful burst of energy with both palms, like a torrent of water surging forth, attacking the countless paper dragonflies from both sides.

The palm strikes converged, colliding and surging upwards, soaring into the sky with the force of tearing apart the clouds. This palm strike is the "Tearing Away the Clouds" technique from the "Cloud-Dispelling Palm."

The countless paper dragonflies were destroyed by Li Xiuyuan, turning into scraps of paper that flew down.

Suddenly, a huge, bulky figure, like an indestructible chariot, rolled through the towering dust of broken bricks, bringing with it a suffocating gust of wind that pressed directly towards Li Xiuyuan.

This person is none other than the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi – Food Immortal. He cultivates the Battle Heaven Transformation Qi, a miraculous skill that can transform food into unparalleled energy.

He was usually thin and frail, but when he used his internal energy, he could become as fat as a giant, with a magnanimous spirit. When killing, he would often devour the flesh and blood of his enemies, making him the most ferocious and valiant of all.

hold head high!

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan made a half-circle with his left hand and pushed with his right palm. A black dragon condensed from the edge of his palm, and with a burst of palm force, the black dragon bared its fangs and claws and slammed towards Shiweixian.

boom!

Although the Battle Heaven Transformation Qi is an evil technique, with each breath, the breath surges and the energy permeates the whole body. It contains both softness and strength, and it also has the ability to make enemies difficult to harm with swords and spears, and ineffective with fists and feet.

Unfortunately, Shi Weixian encountered Li Xiuyuan, who could unleash a force of over a million jin with every move.

The burly figure of Shi Weixian was sent flying by Li Xiuyuan's slap.

His figure resembled a paper crane, flying backwards for dozens of meters, crashing into the floor and creating a deep crater.

Suddenly a strong wind swept in, and a toxic fog filled the air, choking people to the point of near death. It was a person with a hunched back.

Like an ordinary rural peasant woman waving a large palm leaf fan, she ignited a pile of poisonous substances in front of her, creating gusts of poisonous wind that blew towards Li Xiuyuan. However, this woman was actually one of the Twelve Fiends of Tianchi—the Matchmaker.

After Li Xiuyuan mastered the Vajra Indestructible Body, even the most terrifying Heavenly Divine Water in martial arts novels could hardly harm him, let alone the matchmaker's poison.

Suddenly, several more Tianchi assassins rushed out. Their figures were barely visible in the poisonous fog, and Bu Jingyun was also entangled by the Tianchi assassins, which bought Xiong Ba some time.

Boom boom!

After a while, Li Xiuyuan looked at the fallen Tianchi assassins. Apart from the two who were fighting Bu Jingyun, there were only seven on the ground, and one had not yet appeared.

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Bu Jingyun, I'll leave them to you to handle."

As he spoke, his figure soared into the air and entered the No. 1 Building Under Heaven.

As for Bu Jingyun, he was startled when he heard this. Fortunately, he had Kong Ci hide in advance, otherwise he would have been restrained. With the two of them, he was naturally not afraid.

It's understandable that Bu Jingyun couldn't defeat Xiong Ba, but if he couldn't even beat the Tianchi assassins, then he deserved to die. The Demonic Sect doesn't need useless people, Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.

Li Xiuyuan flew into the No. 1 Building in the world. He was immediately struck by the magnificent carved dragons and jade pillars and the luxurious surroundings. But what caught his attention even more was the sentiment and the prevailing trend of the people that this building represented.

For the past twenty years, this building has been regarded as a sacred place in the martial arts world and a symbol of the pinnacle of power. The aspirations of the masses entrusting it are no less than those of the temple idols of a medium-sized religious sect.

Naturally, it also contained the resentment and sorrow of many victims.

Beside the throne of the powerful, a sword displayed alone on a weapon rack caught his attention.

The sword was three feet nine inches long, with a gold hilt and a blade that was nearly twice as wide as a regular Qingfeng sword.

Somewhat similar to a Western two-handed greatsword, it appears even more fierce and domineering. The entire sword exudes a fierce and valiant aura of a hundred battles and a chilling spirit of contending with the heavens, with its sharpness soaring to the sky!

"This is the Sword Saint's peerless sword!"

Without even looking at it, Li Xiuyuan could tell that the sword belonged to the Sword Saint simply by sensing its sword energy.

This sword is incredibly sharp, capable of slicing through stone and breaking through metal, and can cut a hair with a breath. It was originally the treasure of Wushuang Town, but was recently brought back by Nie Feng.

At the same time, Xiong Ba's face turned pale. He quickly ran to the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, preparing to row a boat to the island, and then escape through the secret passage there, taking his daughter You Ruo with him.

Suddenly, a drum sound came from the sound of a rattle, the kind of drum that children play with. The sound was crisp and melodious, full of innocent and joyful childlike fun.

It's so captivating and exhilarating that you can't help but dance and play along, as if you've returned to a carefree childhood.

Xiong Ba found a small wooden knife, less than half a foot long, in his palm. It was quite ridiculous, and all the panic in his heart disappeared.

Xiong Ba said coldly, "Child Emperor, come out here!"

At this moment, a person walked out from within. He looked like a child and was none other than Tong Huang, the leader of the Twenty Fiends of Tianchi.

Holding two small drums, Tong Huang laughed and said, "As expected of the Overlord, even when seriously injured, you can still break my Tong Huang Heart Sutra."

As he spoke, he stepped forward, shaking the small drum in his hand.

In the past, the assassins of Tianchi wreaked havoc on the martial arts world and were hunted down by the Sword Saint. In order to survive, they joined Xiong Ba and obeyed his orders day after day for decades, but in their hearts, they all longed to turn the tables and become the masters.

Chapter 68 Girl Youruo

Seeing that Xiong Ba was seriously injured, Tong Huang wanted to take advantage of his misfortune.

Xiong Ba took a deep breath, trying to keep his breathing steady, and said in a deep voice, "Tong Huang, don't joke around. Even if I'm injured, I'm still far superior to you."

"If you want to live, you must leave quickly, for the demon is coming after you."

At this moment, his power was damaged, and he was far from being a match for the Child Emperor. He could only speak.

Upon hearing this, Tong Huang smiled slightly and said, "Chief Xiong, it seems your injuries are quite severe. Let me treat you!"

As he spoke, he moved over and struck out with his palm, hitting Xiong Ba squarely in the chest.

boom!

Xiong Ba had no strength to resist and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Tong Huang chuckled and said, "I knew it! That old rascal has long since run out of strength. No wonder he was so easy to talk to, haha!"

As he spoke, he laughed arrogantly.

Xiong Ba, pale-faced from the blow, sighed, "I, Xiong Ba, who once dominated the world, am now a tiger fallen into the plains, bullied by dogs."

Under normal circumstances, even if ten more people like Tong Huang came, he wouldn't be afraid. But now he's powerless to fight and can only be humiliated by him.

Seeing Xiong Ba sighing, Tong Huang laughed and said, "Old fool, you've been ruling the World Society for decades, it's time for you to change your position!"

The Tianchi assassins were inherently unruly, and the reason they joined Xiong Ba back then was simply because they were willing to take a desperate path.

After saying this, he rushed over, and Tong Huang raised his hand to kill Xiong Ba.

Suddenly, a clear, sharp shout rang out: "Stop!"

A streak of silver-white sword light flashed, startling the Child Emperor. Caught off guard, his wrist was stabbed. He watched the newcomer warily.

The woman was graceful and slender, and she walked quickly with light steps, her clothes and ornaments jingling. She wore a white long dress with a white blouse underneath, and a white silk gauze over it, with a white belt around her waist.

Seeing her father's pale and weak face, the girl exclaimed in alarm, "Father, what's wrong?"

Indeed, this woman was You Ruo. The fierce battle between Li Xiuyuan and Xiong Ba could be heard for dozens of miles.

You Ruo, who was far away in the lakeside pavilion, also heard about it. She had just stepped out when this scene unfolded, and immediately stepped in to save Xiong Ba.

Youruo's mother was killed by Xiong Ba's enemies in her early years, so Xiong Ba loved his daughter very much and did not allow her to leave the Lakeside Pavilion.

Moreover, he secretly taught martial arts, and although he couldn't compare to Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, he was by no means far behind.

Upon seeing his daughter appear, Xiong Ba exclaimed in surprise, "You...You Ruo, run!"

The assassins from Tianchi couldn't stop Li Xiuyuan, and it wouldn't be long before his enemies caught up.

It is said that Li Xiuyuan was chasing after Xiong Ba. Under the scanning of his Golden Core Realm divine sense, he quickly caught up and heard Xiong Ba's words.

Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and he chuckled, "Leave? Do you think you can leave?"

As he spoke, he descended from the sky, looking down at the three people below.

When everyone looked up, they saw Li Xiuyuan flying through the air and were extremely surprised. Could there be such a person in the world? Could he be an immortal?

At this moment, Xiong Ba was utterly despondent, and Li Xiuyuan caught up with him, making it impossible for him to escape.

You Ruoqing said in a clear voice, "No, I won't let you hurt my father."

As she spoke, she spread her hands apart, blocking Xiong Ba's path, showing no sign of backing down.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but take a second look. Xiong Ba's daughter, wasn't that You Ruo?

She had a pair of dark eyes, her hair was tied up in a flowing bun with a few pearl flowers inserted in the bun, and a white pearl hung on her forehead. Her skin was as white as jade with a rosy glow, and her crescent-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes exuded a cold beauty. She was truly a beauty that could rival the most beautiful women in the country.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan chuckled and said, "Ha! What a joke! If I wanted to kill someone, who could stop me?"

As he spoke, his figure slowly descended, standing prominently between Tong Huang and Xiong Ba.

Tears welled up in You Ruo's eyes as she realized that the person who had injured her father was probably him!

You Ruo said, "I...I won't let you succeed. If you want to kill someone, kill me first."

At the same time, Tong Huang was filled with fear. He knew he was no match for Li Xiuyuan, and he forgot all about killing Xiong Ba and taking the position of the supreme leader of the World Society.

At this moment, Tong Huang only wanted to save his life. He said, "What the Demon Lord said is true. In fact, you don't need to take action. My Heavenly Pool assassins can clear the obstacles for you."

As he spoke, he bowed respectfully, indicating his submission.
