The lax appearance of Elder Xu Yin, made Cao Yi even more irate, his punches became harsher and the Spiritual Sword before him was ignored. To smash the sword with his bare hands, was the correct way to utilize his powerful body.

The muscles in his right arm twisted and curled, like a green-black flood dragon clashing with a cerulean Spiritual Sword. The mountain-splitting, heavy punch easily shattered the Spiritual Sword.

“The so-called Noble Family, is nothing more than this!” A trace of satisfaction flashed in Cao Yi’s eyes, as he thought to himself.

As Elder Xu Yin watched the Spiritual Sword being smashed to pieces with just one punch, his eyes were full of surprise, and he exclaimed, “Truly…brave.” The shattered Spiritual Sword transformed into a sky of ice shards, and the brave Cao Yi plunged headlong into it.

The ice shards dancing in the sky adhered to his body, and in an instant, they congealed together forming a huge ice crystal, which completely surrounded everything from Cao Yi’s neck downwards.

Cao Yi, preserved within the ice block, still maintained his punching posture, prompting stifled laughter from onlookers.

At this moment, Cao Yi realized that the cerulean Spiritual Sword he shattered was a trap — a fact which only intensified his embarrassment and fury.

He roared out, “A mere chunk of ice, how could it possibly trap me!?”

With the power of the Spiritual Totem in combination with his physical prowess, not even being sealed underground could stop him, given his immense strength capable of tearing the earth apart.

The formidable power exploded from his spine and was transmitted to his strong limbs. Cao Yi intended to shatter this ice crystal!

Elder Xu Yin chuckled softly, revealing a pure white Spiritual Sword in his hand. He danced with the sword but did nothing to stop the struggling Cao Yi in the ice crystal.

The more Cao Yi struggled, the more despair he felt. The overbearing strength, which had always been invincible, was utterly useless against the ice crystals. The more he tried, the weaker he felt. As the sword approached, he felt a wave of drowsiness overcoming him.

“How can this be!” Cao Yi panicked, his heart becoming increasingly restless.

Looking at Cao Yi, Elder Xu Yin tapped the ice block with the Spiritual Sword in his hand and asked, “Don’t you feel, the more you struggle, the more lethargic you become?”

Just with one exchange of moves, Cao Yi, who possessed the powerful body, was defeated and humiliated — causing an uproar amongst the crowd!

Cao Yi, looking at his opponent, felt a boiling rage surge within him, and he shouted hatefully, “Don’t think that by trapping me, you have won! Even if you cut me down, can you break my invulnerable body?”

The reason why Cao’s prodigious body was hailed as the finest fighters in the Cao Family was due to its robust defence and superhuman recovery ability. Even though Cao Yi was trapped in ice, he still refused to admit defeat. This was his current mindset — if you are capable, just kill me.

Facing such provocation, Elder Xu Yin retorted with a smile, “Your cultivation technique accumulates corpse energy to enhance your physical prowess. You intend to attain immortality through physical strength — a commendable aspiration!”

“However, training your body with corpse energy will have severe consequences. You will forever be infertile, and your physical body will lose its vitality, unable to evolve further. Therefore, reaching the Fierce Realm is the climax of this technique — any further breakthrough is almost impossible!” With a gloomy expression, Cao Yi knew Elder Xu Yin was right. However, he sacrificed much to obtain extravagant defensive abilities. In this world, you lose some to gain some. This was his chosen path, and he didn’t think anything was wrong with it.

From the look on Cao Yi’s face, Elder Xu Yin understood his thoughts. However, his challenge in Xiling was not only to showcase Xu Clan’s martial skills but also to make other proud martial artists from various clans understand how big the gap was between them and the Xu Clan.

Killing is easy but refuting one’s beliefs is difficult. Even if Cao Yi was killed with a single sword stroke, he would not think highly of Xu Clan, but merely blame his inadequate skills, making the whole ordeal pointless.

Therefore, Elder Xu Yin was there to break his Dao Heart, “The biggest defect of the cultivation technique, which is strengthened by corpse energy, is…” He lifted the Spiritual Sword in his hand. The brilliant white-colored Spiritual Sword was laid upon Cao Yi’s neck as he said lightly, “The supposedly indestructible body crumbles in the presence of exorcism power, like snow upon touching water. Would you like to try?”

Somehow everyone heard his lightly spoken words, causing another uproar in the crowd.

If a cultivation technique had such severe consequences and still had such a significant flaw, then the technique would be deemed worthless.

Cao Yi’s face was filled with shock. Little did he expect the opponent to reveal the greatest weakness of his invulnerable body in public, resulting in him feeling dizzy.

This helplessness and despair were Elder Xu Yin’s main objectives in his challenge to Xiling: “Will you, the Cao Family, submit?”

The respect and submission of the Noble Families were essential, killing was not the point.

Cao Yi had bloodshot eyes and held Elder Xu Yin in his gaze. His heart was filled with bitterness and frustration. The vulnerabilities of Cao Family’s primary cultivation technique had been exposed publicly. It was now apparent that anyone targeting the Cao Family would only need to practice an exorcism art to break through their three major body strengthening techniques, which would effectively cut off the entire Cao Family’s life path.

Blocking one’s path to wealth was akin to killing one’s parents, let alone blocking their martial arts path. How could Cao Yi possibly submit?

“I will not yield!!!” His tormented scream was firm. His eyes, burning with anger, glared at Elder Xu Yin.

You won’t yield?

You will die.

With a slight smile, Elder Xu Yin swung the sword in his hand. The brilliant light flashed across Cao Yi’s neck. The famous and invincible body of Cao Yi met its end. The crowd of servants stationed under the stage fiercely rushed towards the person on the stage.

The man head with a ferocious expression rolled on the ground. Elder Xu Yin released the Spiritual Sword in his hand, stood in the same spot with his hands behind his back, and completely ignored the warriors rushing him.

Because he knew, the warriors of the Falling Star Army would never let him down.

Arrows ripped through the space, lights flew through the bodies of Cao’s servants, and the sounds of continuous detonation rang out.

In just an instant, Cao’s group of warriors, who had rushed towards the stage, had their hearts and throats pierced and collapsed powerlessly on to the ground.

Blood stained the stairs, turning the original greenish-black stones to a bloody hue.

Elder Xu Yin stood in the center of the stage, and said to the crowd, “Who will be next to challenge me?”

With just one move, Cao Yi with his legendary unstoppable body, was decapitated. Facing the overwhelming power of the Xu Clan’s young master, the entire venue fell silent.

The martial artists sitting under the stage, recuperating, felt a heavy burden. They went up on the stage to fight to the death, but if the opponent pointed out the flaw in their cultivation technique, how would they face their own clan?

The fluctuating expressions on their faces evoked thoughts about whether there might exist similar flaws in their clan’s cultivation technique.

Standing on the stage, Elder Xu Yin looked at the group of recuperating martial artists whose expression was changing and laughed softly.

The reason why he pointed out the flaws in Cao Family’s cultivation technique was to provoke other martial artists to contemplate — just like the Cao Clan’s cultivation technique, theirs might also have significant flaws.

Only by facing these flaws directly can one progress in martial arts. The Xu Family’s motto was to make every martial artist exceptional.

But, after so many years, even though progress had been made in martial arts and several clans had emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, not everyone had become exceptional.

When these martial artists achieved something, they turned into wild beasts. They stopped evolving, started to become arrogant, started to conquer, and started to remain complacent. Some even turned a blind eye to the flaws in their cultivation techniques..
