Seeing Elder Xia's disbelief, Xia Feng took out the Qingxue Sword gifted by the Celestial Sword Saintess as a dowry and smiled, "Elder Xia, you better be careful."
"No worries! Come on."
Elder Xia smiled slightly as he saw this.
Xia Feng's eyes sharpened, and the Qingxue Sword in his hand thrust out abruptly. A streak of light flashed, and the Qingxue Sword had already appeared in front of Elder Xia.
Bang!
A stream of Protective Gang Qi surged automatically from Elder Xia's body, blocking the attack of the Qingxue Sword.
Although this strike didn't cause Elder Xia any harm, it left him shocked on the spot.
"Flowing Light Swordsmanship, it really is Flowing Light Swordsmanship. Young City Lord, you've actually mastered it?"
Elder Xia trembled with excitement.
The Young City Lord awoke from a nap and actually mastered High Level Top Grade Martial Techniques, the Flowing Light Swordsmanship?
How was this even possible?
Even those Saint Children and Saintesses with Innate Saint Bodies couldn't achieve this.
"Elder Xia, the process by which I mastered Flowing Light Swordsmanship is a secret you must keep for me."
Xia Feng smiled slightly, withdrew the Qingxue Sword, and turned to leave.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Elder Xia laughed heartily three times while watching Xia Feng's back, "From now on, let's see who dares to ridicule the Young City Lord as worthless."
He regarded Xia Feng as his own grandson and had been aware of the mockery and disdain Xia Feng suffered in secret these years. He also knew the hardship Xia Feng endured, constantly honing his body every day to break through to become a Martial Artist, and it pained him to see.
But such was talent; even if his heart ached, he had no other way.
It was said that the Celestial Pill Sacred Land had elixirs that could enhance one's talent, but they couldn't possibly go to the Celestial Pill Sacred Land to request it.
Such Talent Pills were extraordinarily rare, and even if the Xia Family exhausted all their wealth and resources, they couldn't obtain one.
Now it's all better; the Young City Lord inexplicably turned into a monstrous genius, with the Five Top Grade Saintesses as his guardians, his rise is inevitable.
He wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, a kind smile resurfaced on his face.
Suddenly, his expression tensed, and he looked up at the distance.
Moments later, an old man soared through the air and landed in front of the Martial Pavilion.
"Liu Fu? What are you doing at my Xia Family?"
Elder Xia shouted sternly.
"Xia Family? There will be no Xia Family from now on."
Liu Fu sneered coldly and launched an attack directly at Elder Xia.
Elder Xia was not to be outdone, he met the attack head-on, and soon he was shocked to find that Liu Fu, who used to be slightly weaker than him, was now his equal in strength.
Meanwhile, Xia Feng, who had not long left the Martial Pavilion, also sensed the commotion there. He wanted to go back to check, but a guard came running in a hurry, shouting, "Young City Lord, the City Lord wants me to take you away from the Xia Family immediately."
"Leave the Xia Family? Why?"
Xia Feng furrowed his eyebrows slightly, full of confusion.
The guard said, "Young City Lord, for some unknown reason, the Liu Family has gone mad, bringing all their cultivators and launching a surprise attack on the Xia Family not long ago. Our Xia Family's guard squad can hardly resist, and the City Lord wants me to take the Young City Lord quickly away from Xingyu City."
"Liu Family?"
Xia Feng frowned and asked, "Isn't their guard squad no match for our Xia Family?"
The guard said, "I don't know why, but the strength of all their guards has increased, including Liu Tianxiang."
"A sudden collective enhancement?"
Xia Feng's expression changed. With a glance towards the direction of the Martial Pavilion, inner strength surged into his legs, and in an instant, he dashed towards the Xia Family's main hall.
"Young City Lord?"
The guard was startled, wasn't the Young City Lord a Martial Disciple? How could his speed be faster than mine?
"Young City Lord, wait for me."
By the time he came to his senses, Xia Feng was already nowhere to be seen.
Before he even approached the main hall, thunderous shouts and sounds of battle were already audible.
The Qingxue Sword appeared in his hand out of thin air, and Xia Feng's gaze turned icy cold.
Knowing that the Five Top Grade Saintesses were close to the Xia Family and that Niu Zhan was in the Xia Family, the Liu Family dared to come nonetheless, there must be someone behind this pulling the strings.
No matter who it is, daring to lay hands on the Xia Family means they must pay the price.
When he arrived at the main hall, he saw Niu Zhan confronting a man in mid-air, that man turned out to be the Sect Leader of Cloud Mountain Sect, Yun Shan, who had left long ago.
On the ground, Liu Tianxiang was fighting with his parents.
Liu Tianxiang's original strength was almost the same as Father Xia, but this time his strength had inexplicably surged, and he was holding his own just fine against Father Xia and Mrs. Xia teaming up.
The Xia Family's guard squad and the Liu Family's guard squad were in a desperate melee, but clearly at a disadvantage.
The Xia Family's guard squad had already suffered casualties.
In the main hall, Liu Shiyu stood with a sword in hand, but had not made a move, evidently waiting for Xia Feng.
"Liu Shiyu, you're courting death!"
Xia Feng said coldly.
"Courting death?"
Liu Shiyu said icily, "Xia Feng, you humiliated me like this at the engagement banquet, and humiliated the Liu Family; we are already irreconcilable with you. Today, not only must you die, but your entire Xia Family must be buried with your actions."
Xia Feng was speechless, clearly, it was she who purposely retreated from the engagement publicly to humiliate him and the Xia Family, and now it's somehow his fault for stirring conflict.
The punishment of the Five Top Grade Saintesses could only be said to be Liu Shiyu reaping what she sowed.
"Does your Liu Family think you can stand against the wrath of the Five Top Grade Saintesses?" Xia Feng looked at Yun Shan in the sky and said indifferently, "Just relying on the Cloud Mountain Sect can't protect your Liu Family."
Liu Shiyu sneered, "You still think those five bitches will come to save you? They won't be able to. The Five Top Grade Sacred Lands have not just Saintesses, but Saint Children too."
Xia Feng's eyes hardened, thinking the Five Great Saint Children must be stopping the Five Top Grade Saintesses?
This Cloud Mountain Sect and the Liu Family must be acting under the direction of the Five Great Saint Children, otherwise, even given a hundred guts, they wouldn't dare to strike the Xia Family.
As for their sudden increase in power and Liu Shiyu's injuries, it was likely also due to the help of the Five Great Saint Children.
Moreover, this could very well be a private maneuver by the Five Great Saint Children, otherwise, it wouldn't be Cloud Mountain Sect and Liu Family here but the strongmen of the Five Great Sacred Lands.
It's rumored the Saint Children and Saintesses of the Sacred Lands are to marry and become dual cultivation partners so that no matter who takes over the Sacred Land in the future, there will be no conflict.
Now that the gathering of the Five Top Grade Saintesses in Xingyu City has spread, the Five Great Saint Children must be unable to sit still.
In that instant, Xia Feng had basically pieced together the whole sequence of events.
"Xia Feng, today is the day you die."
Liu Shiyu raised the long sword in her hand, "You, a worthless being, do not deserve to have those things. Killing you and destroying the Xia Family, those things will all belong to my Liu Family."
"Kill me? You aren't qualified." Xia Feng said coldly.
"A mere Martial Disciple, killing you is as simple as crushing an ant."
Liu Shiyu snorted coldly, swung the long sword in her hand, and a dazzling sword light came tearing through the air.
Xia Feng sneered coldly, flicked the Qingxue Sword in his hand, the sword was like flowing light, arriving in an instant.
Only to hear a loud boom; Liu Shiyu was struck like being hit by lightning, spat several mouthfuls of blood, and was sent flying out, landing heavily outside the main hall.
"How is this possible?"
Liu Shiyu was filled with shock.
Xia Feng stood with the Qingxue Sword in hand, coldly watching Liu Shiyu.
"Sorry, I am an Earth Tier Ninth Layer Martial Artist."
