And the killing intent had evolved to its extreme.

This time, due to the urgency of the situation, he truly harbored murderous intent towards Natsumi Rinri.

With no room for mercy, even if Natsumi Rinrei survives this attack by sheer luck, he will surely be on the verge of death.

Moreover, because they had previously learned of the unique immortality of Natsumi Rinrei's blue-green flames.

He would also use his killing intent to completely suppress it.

Perhaps, when Natsumi Rinrei transforms into a dragon, he can use the defensive power of his dragon scales to lessen his injuries and reduce the chances of dying.

However, Xia Yuanliu of today will no longer give the other party this opportunity to transform into a dragon.

Boundless killing intent formed a monstrous, blue-faced demon with fangs behind him, like a scene from purgatory.

The name of this move involuntarily came to mind.

"Manpower and soldiers".

"—Sword Slayer!"

The unparalleled speed had reached the very edge of the pinnacle of A-level, and a trickle of blood oozed from Xia Yuanliu's chest.

His hidden wounds had partially ruptured at this moment.

This is a speed that absolutely cannot be perceived by anyone below the A-level high-rank.

In an instant, Xia Riliu stood before Xia Rilinli, his expression revealing a resolute killing intent, devoid of any mercy.

However, Xia Rilin did not make the slightest move to resist or dodge.

This is only to be expected.

Faced with his killing sword, even a mid-level A-rank like Xia Rilinli, whose strength was even close to the high-rank, could not detect it and could only watch helplessly as he was hit by this sword.

This time, Xia Riliu didn't aim for Xia Rilin's limbs, but instead went straight for her neck.

He swung his sword fiercely.

Even the airflow seemed to be too slow to react, and no sound was heard.

The scene of blood dripping from the throat, seemingly already unfolding before Xia Yuanliu's eyes.

however……

"Clang—!"

A single index finger was placed in the path of the sword's swing, blocking its attack.

Zoom in to take a closer look.

It was discovered that Xia Riliu's sword had struck just above the fingernail of Xia Rilin's index finger, producing a crisp and pleasant sound, but without leaving even a white mark on the fingernail.

Seeing this, Xia Rilin looked at her fingernails, a hint of dissatisfaction appearing in her beautiful red glass eyes, and said softly.

"Master Yuanliu, your nail trimming skills aren't that great."

Finished.

next second.

Summer Rinrei's aura began to rise steadily.

High-level A-rank! Peak A-rank! A-rank...

—The pinnacle!

……

……

Chapter 272: Xia Yuanliu's Awakening

Xia Yuanliu stood there, stunned.

Even with his meticulous planning, he never expected such a change to occur.

Summer Rin, who was originally at the mid-A-rank, was transformed into the pinnacle of A-rank right before his eyes.

This is simply against common sense.

However, Xia Riyuanliu's combat intuition allowed him to make the most accurate judgment in an instant.

He instantly shifted his body dozens of steps backward, creating distance.

When you realize that the situation is unclear, you should not act rashly, but rather try to stay calm, observe the details of the matter, and then make a plan.

The current situation is undoubtedly extremely unclear.

His pale gold eyes, brimming with murderous intent, scanned Natsumi Rinrei's entire body with suspicion.

However, Natsumi Hanae found Natsumi Yoriyuki's current behavior somewhat laughable.

She lowered her head slightly, gently blew on her nails with her cherry lips, and spoke in a mocking tone.

"Oh?"

"Having displayed such strength, Father doesn't dare to attack, but only retreats?"

"What a cowardly coward."

The moment Natsumi Yoriyu heard Natsumi Rinri speak.

The word "Father" suddenly struck a nerve, and he felt that the word was extremely familiar.

However, he didn't think much of it.

Even considering Natsumi Rinrei's status, calling him "Father" is perfectly understandable, though he still has some doubts about it.

Furthermore, there is a deep respect for Rin Rei Natsumi's achievement of reaching the pinnacle of A-rank.

He was not careless at all; the killing intent around him did not dissipate but instead intensified.

Not only his right hand, but his left hand also silently transformed into a sword blade wreathed in blood-red killing intent, unleashing the full power of Erzang.

The ten-fist sword and cane, which are imbued with murderous intent, are absorbed into the body.

As Xia Yuanliu sensed the crisis, the false shell of his cane was gradually peeling away, revealing a deep, dark, ink-black sword blade, where divinity slowly manifested.

Although it wasn't activated, faint arcs of electricity danced within Xia Yuanliu's body, slightly enhancing his physical attributes.

Xia Yuanliu used the electric arc to paralyze the pain from his hidden injuries, making his body as strong as possible so that the pain from his hidden injuries would not slightly affect his attacks during battle.

This is a little trick he has figured out over many years of using the Ten-Fist Sword.

Moreover, this was accompanied by a moment of calm.

He gradually sensed something amiss about the 'Summer Rinrei' before him.

Both the tone of voice and the fighting skills of the other party were completely different from those of Rin Rei Natsumi back then.

During the last battle, he had never heard such infuriating words from Natsumi Rinri. If it weren't for the fact that he had become almost immune to such verbal attacks in his earlier battles.

If it were him in his younger days, he probably would have lost some of his rationality and wanted to tear that sharp-tongued mouth apart.

Moreover, their combat techniques are quite different.

Although Natsumi Rinrei learned some underhanded tricks later on, his fighting style was still generally straightforward, brutal, and fierce.

Unlike the person in front of me, although he initially seemed straightforward, it now appears to be a facade, and he is not rough at all.

In addition, there is the [Red Dragon] ability.

Summer Rinrei's most proficient and frequently used ability is undoubtedly the [Red Dragon] ability, but the opponent has not unleashed the [Red Dragon] ability at all, let alone the crimson flames.

All that remained was the same bluish-green flame as Summer Rinrei.

Previously, Natsumi Yoriyuki thought it was Natsumi Rinrei's carelessness, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

The biggest incongruity, of course, is the other party's current level.

Even if Xia Rilin is a genius that is only seen once in a thousand years, it is simply impossible for him to advance from the mid-level of A-rank to the peak of A-rank in less than a month.

Well, there is only one truth.

The person in front of me is not Natsumi Rinri at all!

Thinking of this, Xia Yuanliu narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep, aged voice.

"Who are you."

Upon hearing this, Xia Rihua smiled faintly and spoke.

"Old man, you should already have the answer to this in your heart, so why ask me?"

This sentence confirmed Xia Yuanliu's suspicions about the person in front of him.

Thinking of all the evil deeds committed by the other party, the current decline of the Summer Mound House is all thanks to them.

He said through gritted teeth.

"Lord of Xiahuo Mountain!!!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy appeared in Xia Rihua's beautiful, glassy red eyes, and she clapped her hands lightly.

"Congratulations, you got it."
