The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

As Chu Xiu's figure appeared before the group of old monsters, his divine sense burst forth from his body, enveloping everyone present.

"Great, it's all here!"

Chu Xiu chuckled and looked coldly at everyone.

Everyone present was at the eighth level of the Profound Immortal Realm!

The Xiao and Yang families have actually colluded with so many powerful cultivators at the eighth level of the Profound Immortal Realm, both domestically and internationally, with the intention of wreaking havoc on the world!

If he hadn't broken through to the limit himself, even with the help of the Immortal Martial Pavilion and the Offering Hall, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the attacks of so many eighth-level Profound Immortal Realm monsters.

Unfortunately, fate did not grant his wish!

Chu Xiu ultimately surpassed everyone else in the world and stood at the very top of this world!

"Who are you?!"

"How dare you trespass on my Xiao family's territory!"

With the presence of their ancestor Xiao Longcheng, the elder of the Xiao clan, despite not being able to discern the true strength of the young man before him, immediately began to question him.

But when the smoke cleared and he could see the young man's face clearly, his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"You are...you are Champion Marquis Chu Xiu!"

"Chu Xiu?"

"It really is Chu Xiu!"

"Isn't he at the Earth Immortal Realm? How could he possibly break through to the eighth level of the Profound Immortal Realm in such a short time?!"

At this moment, many of the Yangzhou cultivators gathered in the Xiao clan's territory who had witnessed the battle between Chu Xiu and Xiao Zhenting of the Yellow Heaven Sect had already recognized the young man's true identity.

In an instant, countless exclamations rang out.

"Chu Xiu? Not Liu Feibai?"

As the patriarch of the Xiao family, Xiao Longcheng had naturally heard of this person from his descendant Xiao Zhenting.

"Even I can't see through this kid's cultivation level..."

"It's him! It's him!"

The Golden Body Sect Patriarch's hand trembled uncontrollably as he pointed at Chu Xiu, exclaiming in shock, "His physical strength far surpasses mine; he absolutely cannot be only at the eighth level of the Profound Immortal Realm!"

Before anyone could react, Chu Xiu vanished from the spot, leaving only a single sentence:

"Oh? There is actually a powerful expert here who has broken into the eighth level of the Profound Immortal Realm through external martial arts cultivation."

"Let me test your physical strength and see just how strong you really are!"

Seeing Chu Xiu's figure suddenly disappear from the spot, the Golden Body Sect Ancestor felt a chill run down his spine, which immediately spread throughout his body.

He knew perfectly well that Chu Xiu had attacked him!

And this attack was a deadly one; otherwise, he wouldn't have felt his death imminent!

The dignified patriarch of the Golden Body Sect, who was at the eighth level of the Profound Immortal Realm, was immediately thrown into chaos.

This person is bound to reach the pinnacle!

The Golden Body Sect Patriarch, his face ashen, pleaded for help from his closest friend.

"Old ghost, save me!"

He knew very well that if he were alone, he would have no chance of surviving a single blow from a peak expert!

"Please save me! Afterwards, I will gladly give you the secret techniques of our sect's external martial arts!"

In this emergency, the Golden Body Sect Patriarch used his divine sense to instantly transmit the distress message to the minds of every Xuanxian level eight old monster present.

The other old monsters, who were originally at odds with the Golden Body Sect Patriarch and also came from overseas, immediately strode towards the location of the Golden Body Sect Patriarch upon hearing that he was willing to pay such a price for the benefits, intending to come to his rescue.

However, no matter how fast the old monster who wanted to help was, he couldn't outrun Chu Xiu, who was at the end of his life.

Behind the Golden Body Sect Ancestor, Chu Xiu's figure appeared like a ghost, tearing through the void as he threw a punch!

The Golden Body Sect patriarch, renowned overseas for his physical cultivation, was shocked. Blood flowed from his seven orifices. Looking down, he saw that his chest had been pierced through by Chu Xiu's punch!

No one could have imagined that the Golden Body Sect Ancestor's proud physical body would be so vulnerable under Chu Xiu's punch!

Those who didn't practice external martial arts had absolutely no foundation, while all the external martial arts cultivators present turned pale.

They knew that the seemingly ordinary punch had the power to shatter mountains and break peaks, and was something that no cultivator at the eighth level of the Profound Immortal Realm present could withstand!

"Eighth level of the Profound Immortal Realm? That's all!"

Chu Xiu waved his hand and flung the body of the Golden Body Sect Ancestor a thousand miles away.

He did not merely kill the Golden Body Sect patriarch while piercing his chest.

After all, this person came from overseas, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard had no record of crimes committed by high-level overseas cultivators. He was also unaware of this person's actions and could not bring himself to kill him.

"Punch through Old Monster Li's body? How is that possible?"

Those overseas cultivators at the eighth level of the Profound Immortal realm who originally intended to help the Golden Body Sect's patriarch suddenly sensed something was wrong and wanted to retreat, but it was too late!

"Want to go?"

Chu Xiu sneered, his Formless Sword Intent already locking onto the auras of these overseas cultivators!

Chu Xiu raised his hand and unleashed the Boundless Form of the Formless Sword Scripture. Multiple formless swords formed from sword intent appeared out of thin air and pierced through the bodies of these overseas cultivators!

This single move was enough to severely injure them!

Everyone present gasped in shock, their hearts pounding with fear.

one move!

Several cultivators at the eighth level of the Profound Immortal Realm were severely injured!

With such cultivation, who among those present would dare to challenge him?

"The Sword Intent of No Form? You are a successor of Liu Feibai?"

Xiao Longcheng was shocked.

This person is actually the successor of Liu Feibai's Formless Sword Manual?

Judging from the strength he has shown, he is even more powerful than Liu Feibai!

Xiao Longcheng asked himself, if he were to fight to the death with that Golden Body Sect patriarch, he could defeat him, but he could not possibly win so easily!

"This child... could he be a half-step to the pinnacle?"

Yang Yantian spoke slowly, shocking everyone.

Even now, he still can't believe that the young man in front of him is the only one in the world who has reached the pinnacle of power since Nie Han, the leader of the Demon Suppression Sect.

"The half-step limit, huh..."

Xiao Longcheng pondered. He didn't believe it either. The fact that no news of Nie Han's death had spread throughout the world proved that he was not dead at all.

No matter how strong Chu Xiu is, he is only at the half-step limit!

There's still a chance to kill him!

Xiao Longcheng and Yang Yantian exchanged a glance and nodded in tacit agreement.

Xiao Longcheng took a step forward and sneered, "Chu Xiu, I didn't expect that you, at such a young age, have already stepped into the half-step limit realm, one step ahead of us old fogies. Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!"

"But if you think you can suppress everyone here all by yourself, just by virtue of being at the half-step limit realm, do you think that's possible?"

"The forces behind the venerable ancestors present here encompass nearly a third of the top powers in the entire world, both domestically and internationally. A war between us and the Great Zhou Dynasty is inevitable!"

"If you oppose us, you are opposing a third of the world!"

Xiao Longcheng's words reassured the troops, whose morale had wavered somewhat due to Chu Xiu's display of formidable strength.

That's right!

What good is it if Chu Xiu is strong alone?

Could they possibly wipe out all the eighth-level Xuanxian realm experts present?

The true limit was something even Nie Han, the leader of the Demon Suppression Sect, couldn't achieve a hundred years ago!

How could Chu Xiu, a mere half-step cultivator, possibly achieve that?!

Xiao Longcheng coldly shouted, "Either join us in this grand struggle, or leave immediately. Otherwise, you'll leave your life here!"

"Kill me?"

"You are all welcome to give it a try!"

Chu Xiu sneered, and suddenly flicked his sleeve, a long sword formed from the sword intent of Wuxiang appeared in his hand.

His figure soared into the sky, pointing his sword at the heavens. A boundless sword intent surged forth from his body, condensing into a thundercloud of sword intent that could blot out the sun, threatening to unleash a rain of swords that would cover the entire Yangzhou!

Chu Xiu covered the entire Yangzhou with his divine sense. With the support of the primordial spirit power of the ninth level of the Profound Immortal realm, he was able to accurately lock onto the aura of every individual he wanted to strike!

Sword Rain only kills those whose aura has been locked by Chu Xiu!

"fall!"

Chu Xiu waved his hand, and countless sword rain swept past him and smashed into the ground!

Each sword rain possesses the power to annihilate a fifth-level Xuanxian Realm cultivator in a single strike!

Slaying these henchmen of the Hundred Clans who are wreaking havoc in Yangzhou will only take a moment!

"Everyone, join me in stopping the rain of swords!"

Xiao Longcheng raised his arm and shouted, and together with Yang Yantian, they set up a defensive array, which barely kept the rain of swords outside the array.

As for the allies and minions outside the main formation, they can only pray for their own good fortune...

Every expert at the eighth level of the Profound Immortal Realm present had a gloomy face as they unleashed their strongest defensive spells to block the falling rain of swords.

Even the mighty could only barely block the rain of swords within a few meters of their own bodies; they were powerless to stop it from any distance.

Such a powerful rain of swords, could only be unleashed by someone at the half-step limit?

The old monsters were sweating profusely. If they were hit by hundreds of swords at the same time, even they would surely die!

"Xiao Longcheng!"

"Is this kid really only at the half-step limit?"

Xiao Longcheng was taken aback; he couldn't help but doubt his own judgment...

"If it's not half a step to the limit, how could it be the limit?"

Yang Yantian sneered.

Even the old monster who had asked the question earlier was taken aback.

Yes!

This young man, at such a young age, has already achieved a near-perfect cultivation level, which is high praise from everyone present.

If he truly is at the end...

Is this possible?

The best in the world in his early twenties?

"His ability to unleash such a powerful sword rain must be due to the Formless Sword Scripture!"

Xiao Longcheng spoke with certainty:

"I have also broken through this sword rain move when I was dealing with Liu Feibai!"

"Nothing to fear!"

"Please all of you stand guard for me. Once I have gathered my strength, I will surely strike and kill this brat!"

Xiao Longcheng and Liu Feibai were once adversaries who knew each other well.

Liu Feibai had also used this sword rain formed by the Formless Sword Intent in front of him.

Although Liu Feibai at that time did not have the same level of cultivation as Chu Xiu now, the essence remains the same!

Since it's the same move, we can defeat it using the same method!

Xiao Longcheng immediately sat down to regulate his breathing and gather his strength.

He intends to use the Yang family's unique skill, which defeated Liu Feibai's sword rain back then, to defeat Chu Xiu's sword rain once again!
