"Those people, I killed them. I admit it." Li Xuan glanced at Kun Chengzi, who had spoken, and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
As soon as Li Xuan's words fell, everyone was stunned.
According to the normal procedure, shouldn't Li Xuan have retorted a few times?
He admitted it directly. Wasn't Li Xuan afraid of retaliation from the sects of those disciples?
In fact, Kun Chengzi was also somewhat surprised. He had originally planned to give Li Xuan no opportunity to even argue. But Li Xuan had openly admitted it.
"I heard that you impersonated a disciple of my Li Huo Sect in the ruins. Do you admit to this?" Kun Chengzi asked again after thinking.
Li Xuan looked at Kun Chengzi with some surprise. Was this old man out of his mind? He had already admitted to killing people, and his assumed identity had been exposed. Why was he still asking? Was he bored and looking for trouble?
"I killed those people, and I did indeed borrow the identity of your Li Huo Sect. Is there anything else? You don't need to ask anymore. This is just you looking for a justifiable reason to attack me, isn't it? Come on, let me see the great skills of the Li Huo Sect." Li Xuan sighed helplessly.
"Very good. It's been so many years, and no one has ever dared to be so presumptuous in front of me." Kun Chengzi's expression turned serious as he slowly spoke.
"This brat... is a bit too sharp." The old man standing beside Jian Chi shook his head slightly. Jian Chi did not agree, but inwardly wondered if he could remain as fearless as Li Xuan if he were in that position.
"Arrogant brat!" As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, an old man immediately shouted.
"And who are you?" Li Xuan frowned slightly at the appearance of the old man.
"I am the Grand Elder of the Chi Zha Sect, Fu Yixiao!" the old man said sternly. Although the Chi Zha Sect was only a second-rate force, if it could gain the favor of the Li Huo Sect, it would have great development potential. Although Fu Yixiao had heard that Li Xuan was already a Sword Master, could he survive under Kun Chengzi?
A living prodigy is a true prodigy.
"You're so eager to jump out and show your loyalty. Your calculations are quite good." Li Xuan smiled upon hearing this, then pointed his "waterskin" at Fu Yixiao and said, "If the Li Huo Sect won't make a move, then you do it. Since you're a Grand Elder of a sect, you must have some skill. I hope you won't disappoint me."
After Li Xuan spoke, Fu Yixiao's face changed slightly. He had heard before that Li Xuan had defeated Bu Jing Lei and Kun Peng with a single sword, something he could not possibly do. A trace of regret flashed through Fu Yixiao's mind, but seeing everyone, including Kun Chengzi, looking at him, he hardened his resolve, took a step forward, and faced Li Xuan.
Although Fu Yixiao did not believe he could defeat Li Xuan, he was at least at the early stage of the Martial Emperor realm. They were at the same level. As long as he could ensure he didn't lose, Li Xuan would naturally lose face. This would give him some standing in front of Kun Chengzi.
"I will come and learn the methods of you Sword Master!" Fu Yixiao declared. Although his words seemed to elevate Li Xuan, they were specifically meant for everyone to hear.
Upon hearing this, the crowd understood.
Li Xuan was a Sword Master, and if Fu Yixiao won, he would be noticed by many. Even if he lost, losing to a Sword Master was not a complete disgrace.
"You really have too many petty thoughts." Li Xuan shook his head, then with a thought, his middle-grade spirit sword trembled slightly. In the next moment, Li Xuan thrust his sword out. Seeing this, everyone focused their attention, and a sword aura like a rainbow surged towards Fu Yixiao.
Fu Yixiao dared not be careless. His body was covered in spiritual light, indicating he was defending with all his might.
*Ching!*
The sword aura struck the spiritual energy barrier, and a piercing clash instantly echoed. But in the next instant, the spiritual energy barrier in front of Fu Yixiao shattered into pieces and dissipated. In Fu Yixiao's terrified gaze, the sword aura directly hit his chest.
*Puff!*
Fu Yixiao spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with horror. He had been defeated by a single sword aura?
*Whoosh!*
Just then, Kun Chengzi moved instantly and appeared in front of Fu Yixiao. As a surge of spiritual energy flowed into Fu Yixiao's body, Kun Chengzi's expression changed.
"This sword of yours was not just one sword aura!" Upon discovering that dozens of sword auras were frantically shredding Fu Yixiao's life force within his body, even Kun Chengzi found it difficult to suppress. With this thought, Kun Chengzi looked at Li Xuan and said.
"It's the Stacked Sword Technique... I didn't expect Li Xuan to stack so many sword auras in such a short time. Didn't Li Xuan just break through to become a Sword Master? How can he control the balance between sword auras so well?" A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the old man in front of Jian Chi.
A look of solemnity flashed in Jian Chi's eyes. Although the Stacked Sword Technique was only a Profound-tier sword art, few people could stack more than fifty sword auras. This required not only powerful divine consciousness but also meticulous control over sword energy. And Li Xuan had managed to stack nearly a hundred in such a short time.
Jian Chi and the old man exchanged glances. Li Xuan's attainments in the way of the sword were truly terrifying!
"If this is all there is, it's not enough." The old man seemed to guess what Jian Chi was about to say and shook his head slightly to stop him. The Myriad Sword Sect was now a complex issue. If Li Xuan's displayed strength was only this, it would not be enough for the Myriad Sword Sect to protect him with their full might.
"So easily defeated. Kun Chengzi, you won't be like him, will you?" Li Xuan curled his lips and, ignoring Kun Chengzi's words, provocatively challenged him.
"Brother Kun, this brat's strength has reached the Martial Emperor realm, and he is also a Sword Master. If we talk about strength, he is probably no less than us. In a one-on-one fight, the chance of winning is not high." Just as Kun Chengzi was about to speak, a voice suddenly rang out. Kun Chengzi looked at the speaker and fell silent.
The speaker was Lei Xiao, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, whose strength was comparable to Kun Chengzi's. Kun Chengzi also understood that after seeing the nearly a hundred sword auras within Fu Yixiao's body, he knew Li Xuan was no simple figure.
In a one-on-one fight, no one present could directly suppress Li Xuan.
"Brother Lei, this brat is extremely brutal. If we let him leave, he will surely become a great threat in the future!" Kun Chengzi said.
Lei Xiao smiled and replied, "If that's the case, how about we join forces?"
Lei Xiao also desired the inheritance of the Sacred Sect. Especially after learning that Li Xuan possessed an eighth-grade Sacred Pill, Lei Xiao had long wanted to make a move against Li Xuan. Now, it was undoubtedly a suitable opportunity.
"Alright." Kun Chengzi fell silent for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement. Although two Martial Emperor realm experts joining forces, and even Grand Elders of sects, might seem like bullying the younger generation, Li Xuan absolutely had to be dealt with. Otherwise, once he grew stronger, given the enmity today, Li Xuan would not let it go easily.
Thinking of a grown Sword Master, both Kun Chengzi and Lei Xiao felt a sense of unease.
At this moment, their resolve to kill Li Xuan became even firmer.
"Shameless. How can sect elders join forces like this?" Li Xuan sneered, but then he replaced his spirit sword with the Soul Shocking Sword and pointed it at the two of them.
"However, do you two old bastards really think you can take me down? Come on, my sword has long been thirsty for battle!"
