Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

Seeing this, the others were all too intimidated to make a move.

After all, this person could kill a Qi Refining Grand Perfection cultivator with a single move, so dealing with others would naturally be a piece of cake.

Some of the mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators who arrived later, seeing the situation was not good, immediately withdrew and left.

However, some cultivators who were also at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining were unwilling to let go of this opportunity to establish their foundation.

However, they were not fools and would not easily take the lead. Instead, they looked around and waited for other cultivators to make the first move.

The cultivator, however, laughed wildly, "Haha, a bunch of incompetent fools! Today I wish to leave. If anyone dares to pursue me, they will only face death!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Seeing this, Xia Yuhui immediately gritted his teeth and stepped forward, shouting, "You old thief, don't run away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred below, and a bolt of crimson lightning struck directly at the man.

The man's expression instantly shifted between light and dark, and he hurriedly drew his sword to disperse the crimson lightning.

This crimson lightning bolt would be extremely lethal to others, but to him, a cultivator who possessed a top-grade magic weapon, it was no different from an ordinary attack.

What worries him is that now that someone has taken the lead, others will inevitably pounce on him like mad dogs.

As expected, upon seeing this, the others immediately launched another fierce attack, and the battlefield instantly descended into chaos once more, with the seven Qi Refining Grand Perfection cultivators all going all out.

Some late-stage Qi Refining cultivators were even directly implicated and lost their lives.

Xia Yuhui also joined the battle. With his current strength, eliminating ordinary Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivators is no problem, so joining this battle is a piece of cake for him.

Now, with Xia Yuhui added, there are seven Great Perfection cultivators besieging one person on the battlefield, but the seven of them are being defeated one after another. This is because they are all preoccupied with their own thoughts and none of them can devote themselves to the battle. Instead, they have to spare some of their attention to guard against others attacking them from behind.

Therefore, these people were hesitant and indecisive during the battle, making it difficult for them to fully concentrate on the fight. Their opponents seized the opportunity and immediately used a move that traded a minor injury for a major one, severely injuring a Qi Refining Grand Perfection cultivator.

The injured person immediately fled.

Upon seeing this, the body-refining cultivator who had fought Xia Yuhui immediately abandoned the others and went straight after the injured cultivator, clearly seeking another opportunity.

After the two left, the remaining five people also panicked. After all, if things continued like this, the Crimson Fruit would definitely be out of their reach, but they were helpless.

Just as these people were about to leave and abandon this opportunity, the group of late-stage Qi Refining cultivators standing behind them finally made their move. First, it was the Chi Mu family, and then it was Jin Yuyan. All of them chose to take action.

Thus, the battle, which was about to end, broke out again.

However, the person on the other side was not alone; the cultivators in his family also resolutely stepped forward to help.

Midway through the battle, some of the evil cultivators, finding it difficult to subdue this person, immediately turned to attack others, and the rest of the crowd followed suit, attacking others and taking their storage bags.

Seeing this, Xia Yuhui killed several cultivators in front of him in a few moves, and then immediately withdrew and fled. He was determined not to get involved in this mess again.

However, there was one person who did not want him to leave.

"Youngsters of the Xia family, you have repeatedly ruined my plans. Prepare to die!"

The supreme magic sword instantly turned and charged towards Xia Yuhui, who immediately roared, "Does your family want to make an enemy of my Xia family?"

However, the longsword showed no sign of stopping.

“Young man, let’s talk about it when your family can produce another Foundation Establishment cultivator. Right now, I’ll take my anger out on you.”

To say he wasn't afraid of the Xia family would be a lie. But now that the Xia family was in dire straits, he didn't believe that the Xia family patriarch could come out of the Xia family's territory and wipe out their family. Did he really think that the Cai family and the Chimu family were pushovers?

If he can seize this opportunity to establish his foundation, he will be completely fearless of the Xia family and may even replace them.

Left with no other choice, Xia Yuhui had to summon his defensive umbrella artifact once more. However, the destructive power of this top-grade artifact was beyond imagination, shattering Xia Yuhui's artifact in a single move.

Xia Yuhui had anticipated this outcome and showed no surprise whatsoever. Instead, he charged straight into the crowd, his top-grade magic weapon following him. Instantly, a chorus of curses erupted from the crowd.

Within moments, seven or eight people had died on the spot. However, Xia Yuhui did not care. He seized the opportunity and sprinted away at full speed. However, the sword was still following him like a shadow. Xia Yuhui had no choice but to fight back.

He first affixed several Vajra talismans to his body, then picked up the volcano magic weapon and threw it with all his might.

"boom!"

The two magical artifacts collided violently. As expected, the Flaming Sword artifact pierced straight through the Volcano artifact, greatly reducing its power.

Xia Yuhui had no time to spare. At this moment, the Fiery Sword turned around and attacked him again. Xia Yuhui could only draw out the little crimson lightning left in his body and unleash his full power. If this attack could hit, it would definitely be able to stop the magic weapon, and he could also buy time to escape the attack range of the magic sword.

However, an unexpected event still occurred. The magical artifact suddenly split in two. One of them was struck by lightning and then vanished into nothingness, while the other flew in at lightning speed and easily shattered the layers of defense he had set up in less than a breath.

At that moment, Xia Yuhui, who was about to escape, had no time to defend himself again. He could only desperately turn his body to barely avoid the fatal blow.

Finally, the magic sword slashed a huge gash across his shoulder. Xia Yuhui endured the burning sensation in his hand, used two high-grade flying swords to knock away the magic artifact, and finally retrieved his own volcanic magic artifact before fleeing in panic.

Upon seeing this, the swordsman intended to continue the pursuit, but was shocked to find that his disciples had been almost entirely killed or wounded, so he immediately withdrew and returned.

A short while later, more than seventy miles away, Xia Yuhui was pale and trembling uncontrollably.

At this moment, although his left shoulder injury had stabilized, the magical artifact contained fire poison, which had now invaded his body and was constantly burning his blood.

He knew he had to find a secluded place to heal his wounds, or his life would be in danger.

However, reality was extremely cruel; three cultivators were hot on their heels.

Xia Yuhui knew that at his current speed, he could not escape and had no choice but to fight.

He quickly suppressed his aura, swallowed several more pills to restore his mana, then leaped onto a giant tree and waited quietly for the enemy to arrive.

A dozen or so breaths later, three cultivators from the Akagi family, led by Akagi Akatsuki, followed Xia Yuhui's aura and arrived.

Just then, the aura in front of them suddenly disappeared, and two high-grade flying swords rushed towards them at an astonishing speed.

Despite their precautions, the three were no match for the speed of the flying sword. One cultivator died instantly, while another had his arm severed, greatly reducing his strength.

Before they could catch their breath, more than fifty fire snakes attacked from the tree, engulfing everything within a ten-foot radius. "Bang bang bang!"

As the smoke cleared, only Akagi Akatsuki lay struggling on the ground. Xia Yuhui's voice then slowly drifted over, "Fellow Daoist Akagi, it's been a long time. Last time you escaped; I wonder if you'll be so lucky this time?"

At this moment, Akagi Akatsuki had already recognized Xia Yuhui. He then revealed his signature smile, "I wondered which fellow Daoist had such strength? It turns out to be Xia Yuhui, the leader of the four outstanding talents of the Xia family who has recently gained fame. I wonder if Xia Yuhui could be so lenient this time? I will definitely repay him handsomely in the future."

The four outstanding members of the Xia family are: the eldest, Xia Yuhua, who is famous in the market for his alchemy skills; the second, Xia Yuren, who guards the Xia family's mines year-round; the eighth, Xia Yufeng, who is always responsible for protecting the Xia family's caravans; and the renowned Xia Yuhui.

These four individuals have gained increasing fame in recent years for various reasons. However, it is also possible that other groups have deliberately promoted them to their detriment.

However, for the sake of the family's interests, the Xia family did not do its best to stop the spread of this reputation, which led to the current situation.
