Chapter 18: The Southern Ming Fire Sword Makes its Move
Xu Xiao's villa, a room with a bed.
"Elder Xu...you're so generous, you must have a lot of resources on you, right?" Jin Liuxiang said, her breath sweet and her face slightly flushed.
Xu Xiao chuckled, "Not much, not much... But Liu Xiang, don't worry, although it's not much, it'll definitely be enough for you."
Even if I pass away, I will not treat you unfairly.
He smiled inwardly.
Of course, we won't mistreat them; their bond level has already reached level 2.
Even the luck level has been upgraded to B level in the past few days.
In the future, he will send more gifts to the other party to achieve a win-win situation.
This was naturally Jin Liuxiang's opportunity.
Through their time together, he discovered that Jin Liuxiang was somewhat greedy and had some ulterior motives.
Overall, she is a woman with temperament and principles.
They didn't hide anything from him and openly asked for what he wanted, which meant Xu Xiao didn't even need to find a reason to give him things.
Such a lucky woman was practically tailor-made for him.
Xu Xiao decided to cover all of the other party's cultivation resources along the way!
"Really?! Liu Xiang thanks Elder Xu!"
Jin Liuxiang was overjoyed, and a blush rose on her fair cheeks.
At this moment, Xu Xiao looked in a certain direction outside the house.
"What's wrong, Elder?" Jin Liuxiang's expression changed.
Xu Xiao said with a serious expression, "A few people approached the villa, and I suspect they are not good people."
While using his divine sense to perceive the surroundings, he quickly put on the gray robe.
Within the range of his divine sense, three furtive figures appeared, probing towards his courtyard.
Although his cultivation level dropped to the Foundation Establishment stage, his spiritual sense did not diminish; it remained at the level of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
Although it is not very useful in combat, its ability to detect and perceive far surpasses that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"Is someone coming?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Liuxiang's expression changed, and she quickly got out of bed and put on her sect's long robe.
"Hmph, they really are three thieves."
Xu Xiao sneered. From the path the three had taken to sneak up, he could tell that the newcomers had no good intentions.
They're probably here to investigate his relationship with Jin Liuxiang.
"go."
He murmured something, and instantly, a fiery red sword light shot out and flew away from the window.
The fiery red light illuminated the earth, and the power it contained was astonishing.
"Elder...?"
Jin Liuxiang's eyes lit up as she finished dressing.
The fiery red flying sword that Elder Xu just unleashed was so powerful that it shook the heavens and the earth, even she was terrified.
"This...this is definitely a high-grade magic weapon...or even a top-grade magic weapon!"
Jin Liuxiang was both surprised and shocked.
The old man was indeed a powerful cultivator at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage. Even after falling to the Foundation Establishment stage, he was still far beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators!
Not far from the courtyard, Zhou Xiao and his two companions saw the fiery red sword light shooting into the sky from inside the room.
The three people stared in astonishment.
Feeling the irresistible and powerful aura contained within, the three of them were filled with fear and stood frozen in place, momentarily stunned!
Zhou Xiao was shocked. This... this was definitely not a technique that a Foundation Establishment cultivator could use!
And that fiery red sword... it felt to him to be at least a high-grade magic weapon!
Elder Xu!
Elder Xu discovered them!
"quick!"
“Retreat quickly!!”
Zhou Xiao screamed in terror. Despite being at the sixth level of the Core Formation stage, his legs trembled as he faced the fiery sword flying towards them, and he dared not muster the slightest thought of resistance!
How could Elder Xu still possess such strength?!
impossible! ! !
"Master! What should we do!"
Ma Liu and the other two were so frightened that they couldn't move.
Oh no, they've been exposed!
Moreover, Elder Xu is terrifyingly strong!!
Seeing the fiery red flying sword about to strike, the three quickly summoned their magic swords and used sword control techniques to defend themselves.
"Bang bang bang!"
However, the moment their flying swords made contact with the fiery red flying sword, they were shattered into pieces, unable to hinder its forward momentum in the slightest.
"impossible!!"
Zhou Xiao's expression changed drastically, and he roared in terror.
But it was too late. Under Xu Xiao's control, the Nanming Li Huo Sword instantly slashed across the lower bodies of the three men.
In an instant, their thighs were severed by the fire sword, and their upper bodies fell to the ground, howling in agony.
The flying sword soared into the sky once more, emitting a clear sword cry before returning to Xu Xiao's residence.
Zhou Xiao and the other two lay on the ground in agony, their eyes filled with fear.
With a single sword strike, they were completely subdued.
The three men's broken legs had been burned to charcoal by the flames. Even if they wanted to have their legs reattached in the future, they would have to cut away some of the damaged flesh, making them shorter.
Xu Xiao opened the door, and he and Jin Liuxiang walked out of the courtyard and came to the forest where the three of them had fallen.
"Master?! It's you?!"
When Jin Liuxiang saw the three people lying on the ground, her eyes widened in surprise.
Xu Xiao glanced at the ugly middle-aged man and sneered, "Liu Xiang, is this your master and senior brother?"
"Yes... Elder Xu, that is Zhou Xiao."
The clever Jin Liuxiang immediately guessed what her master intended to do.
She now felt nothing but contempt for the three men and wished they were dead right now!
Zhou Xiao and his two companions were terrified when they saw the two people in front of them.
Elder Xu... Jin Liuxiang... It's over...
"Elder Xu! It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!!"
Zhou Xiao wailed in agony on the ground, his face pale and his ugly face filled with deep fear and regret.
Who would have thought that Elder Xu, who failed to transcend the tribulation of lightning, would still possess such strength!
Planted!
Completely defeated!
Xu Xiao smiled gently and stepped forward, saying, "Zhou Xiao, I've seen you before. You're one of my nephew Lu Danian's subordinates, right?"
"What are you doing here so late at night?"
"I thought you were some kind of thief, so I just made the first move."
Now, he naturally knew the other party's purpose in coming.
It's just catching someone in the act, isn't it?
During this time, Jin Liuxiang had already told him about the three master and apprentices.
Instead of cultivating properly, they're always thinking about the Golden Willow Incense. People like that have no hope of achieving the Great Dao.
It seems we need to really manage these sects.
Xu Xiao sighed inwardly.
At this moment, he naturally shut himself out.
He was simply cultivating a good relationship with the woman of destiny so that he could give her gifts later and embark on the path to immortality.
"That's right! Elder Xu! I am your nephew, Elder Lu's subordinate!"
"Elder Xu, please, for Elder Lu's sake, let me off the hook!"
"It's all a misunderstanding!"
Zhou Xiao and the other two lay on the ground, their hands clasped together, pleading repeatedly.
