I never expected that after all these years, having escaped the pursuit and killing of the Heavenly Sword Sect, I would actually stumble here. But I also know that now there is only one choice. As long as I break through the marketplace blockade, I have an escape secret technique, and there’s hope for survival. Otherwise, even if I fight desperately with Lu Changsheng, we’re both headed down a path of certain death. At once, the burly man activated several talismans. Next, holding a red long knife, he broke through the offensive of the Patriarch of the Yu Family and hurled a Heavenly Thunder Pearl toward the weak point of the formation, aiming to blast a hole into it and seize the chance to escape. "Boom boom boom——" The Heavenly Thunder Pearl landed at the weak point of the formation, causing deafening and continuous explosions. "Boom boom boom——" At the same time, Lu Changsheng’s Seven-Colored Giant Sword slashed down like a tsunami, breaking through layers of defenses cast by the grey-robed female cultivator. Up against such an assault, the grey-robed female cultivator had long been unable to hold on, her face completely bloodless, her body swaying, clearly at her limit. "Ha!" The heartfelt bond between the husband and wife indeed made Lu Changsheng feel quite emotional. But he showed no mercy. With a low shout, the Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp above his head burst forth with blindingly brilliant light. The central lamp flickered, as countless sword qi poised and ready to strike erupted violently at that moment. "Whish whish whish——" The sword qi was like the wind, and the murderous intent was like a tide. Each strand of sword qi contained a peerless killing intent, capable of taking lives. At that moment, when hundreds of strands of sword qi were unleashed together, their power was incredibly formidable, so much so that even an average Foundation Establishment middle stage cultivator would struggle to defend. "Thump, thump, thump——" Under the onslaught of the Seven-Colored Giant Sword’s attack, the already faltering grey-robed female cultivator faced this tumultuous sword qi, and instantly all her defenses were shattered, her body pierced, and blood sprayed out. The ’Golden Light Mirror’ overhead, showing cracks, dimmed completely upon losing its master and fell from the sky. The tide-like deadly sword qi continued to target the burly man. "Fellow Daoist, spare my life, I’m willing to sever my arm and hand over the Storage Bag!" Seeing his wife dead, the burly man in grey robes lost all his previous domineering demeanor, his expression filled with utmost panic. His Black Spirit Armor pulsated, forming a black membrane barely resisting the sharp sword qi, as he cried out loudly. Without waiting for Lu Changsheng’s response, he directly took up his magic artifact, and with a swift movement, severed his own arm. "Chop!" But Lu Changsheng was indifferent to this spectacle, as the Seven-Colored Giant Sword continued its relentless assault. "Bang——" The burly man’s severed arm suddenly exploded at that very moment, turning into a splatter of blood that enveloped his body and propelled him away at high speed. He fled through the hole created by the large explosion at the weak point of the formation. He wasn’t foolish; he knew that pleading to Lu Changsheng wouldn’t spare his life. Therefore, through the pretense of pleading for mercy by severing an arm, he actually performed a blood escape secret technique. "Where do you think you’re going!" The Patriarch of the Yu Family, who had been watching the battle, immediately took action upon witnessing the scene. The red-yellow disc and the Ice Blue Crescent Wheel flew out simultaneously, blocking the hole at the formation’s weak point. He had been prepared to intervene throughout the ordeal, fearing that the burly man would escape. Leaving aside whether Lu Changsheng would blame him, the current situation was such that if the burly man were to escape, he would surely come back to seek revenge on Red Leaf Valley Market, taking vengeance on their four great Families. Being targeted by a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator looking for an opportunity for revenge would leave any Family restless! Just as the Patriarch of the Yu Family’s Spiritual Artifacts obstructed the burly man, endless Seven Luminaries Sword Qi surged toward him, sealing him off from all directions. "Pfft!" Then, the Seven-Colored Giant Sword instantly chopped down, cleaving him in two as if sundering heaven and earth, with blood spattering everywhere. "Dead!" "Two Foundation Establishment Cultivators have fallen!" "Sword Cultivators, they are simply too..." "It’s finally over!" Everyone watching this scene found themselves at a loss for words. This battle was like a one-sided crush. Lu Changsheng acted, and it was always with a single slash. The two Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivators faced that slash, yet could only continuously defend and parry, their every move shattered by that one slash. The Robber Cultivators who had caused chaos before, the Loose Cultivators who had turned themselves into Robber Cultivators, went pale when they witnessed this scene. Knowing that the turmoil was now suppressed, they would next face the reckoning of the Red Leaf Valley Market and the four great Families. "Father, Mother!" A young man in grey robes saw this and his eyes turned bloodshot, filled with immense grief. He hadn’t expected that his parents would both fall here. "Father, Mother, if you hadn’t been trying to gather Foundation Establishment Resources for your child, you wouldn’t have had to rob the marketplace and die here." "Rest assured, your child will definitely succeed in achieving Foundation Establishment and will seek revenge for you." The young man in grey robes took a deep look at Lu Changsheng and the Patriarch of the Yu Family in the distance, hatred filling his eyes. He then quickly found an empty alley and changed his disguise. Having spent so many years adventuring with his parents, committing numerous acts of murder and arson, he knew that now with the market’s unrest suppressed, the Law Enforcement Cultivators of the four great Families would begin to settle accounts with the Robber Cultivators, and he had to hide well to survive this purge. "Hmph, to disturb my rest and dare to threaten me?" Lu Changsheng sneered coldly, arrogant and domineering. As he spoke, he reached out his large hand and collected the bodies of the burly man and grey-robed woman, their Storage Bags, and magic artifacts, pocketing them all. Afterward, he turned to look at the Patriarch of the Yu Family nearby. He considered whether to kill the Patriarch of the Yu Family. After all, the relationship between the Yu Family and the Lu Family had never been good, and he also had an old grudge with the Yu Family. If he were to eliminate the Patriarch of the Yu Family, it would also remove a major enemy of the Lu Family. "Thank you for your help, senior."
