Chapter 423: Chapter 237: Stepping on the World’s Family, Slaying the Refining God Heavenly Man!_2
“Refining God Heavenly Man, a breakthrough within a single small realm, is extremely difficult. Countless Refining God Heavenly Men can only stop at the initial phase of this process.
“Many great martial artists are halted in front of the Refining God gate, unable to take that step, unable to condense their Divine Soul.
“Many celestial prodigies are stuck at being great Heavenly Men, or even only in the early or middle stages of Refining God…
“Those who can break through the later stages of Refining God are truly the pinnacle of the Ling Domain.”
Shen Haizhou sighed with emotion.
Though he was confident in his talent, he didn’t dare to claim that he would definitely become a Refining God Heavenly Man in the future.
Xu Yan finally got a more detailed understanding of these Spirit Sects and ancient clans. It was undeniable that as an heir of a noble family, Shen Haizhou had a deeper understanding of such families and sects than Yu Xiaolong, a common serpent.
“Yuzhou seems not to be powerful?”
Xu Yan voiced in surprise.
The Jade Spirit Sect, although it is an elite sect within the Ling Domain, is the one with the lowest threshold.
“Yuzhou is relatively remote, and reportedly an ancient calamity resulted in Yuzhou’s decline,” Shen Haizhou explained.
“Where is the Dai Family’s lair? Introduce it to me. I want to destroy it while Dai Sheng hasn’t returned yet.”
Xu Yan said seriously.
Shen Haizhou was rather astonished. After all that he had explained, Xu Yan still wanted to take on the Dai Family?
Without any fear of the Dai Family’s power?
“I don’t have a detailed understanding of the Dai Family. Their ancestral lands are within the borders of Zheng Country, here… In this generation, besides Dai Yingying and Dai Jun, there are a few others.”
“But their talents are all rather ordinary…”
Shen Haizhou drew a map on the ground, introducing the location of the Dai Family, even indicating the general location of the Dai Family treasury. And he described the few members of the younger generation of the Dai Family, their appearances and general personalities.
Xu Yan eyed Shen Haizhou doubtfully. While he claimed to know little about the Dai Family, he provided such detailed information on the Dai family’s ancestral land and even knew quite a lot about the current generation.
Shen Haizhou chuckled awkwardly. He had once borrowed from Dai Jun, but ultimately it was Dai Jun who had died at his hands, which led him to gather information about the Dai Family.
“That’s all I know,” Shen Haizhou finally said.
Xu Yan nodded and looked at Shen Haizhou, “Brother Shen, do me a favor. Keep Dai Sheng wandering outside for a bit longer so he won’t be returning to the Dai Family soon.”
“Fine!” Shen Haizhou agreed, nodding.
“Brother Xu, are you confident?” Shen Haizhou couldn’t help asking. The Dai Family had a Refining God Heavenly Man guarding them, after all.
“No major issues will come up.”
Xu Yan nodded in confirmation.
“Then, I wish Brother Xu success!”
Shen Haizhou salutes with a fist.
“Thanks!”
Xu Yan returned the gesture and left in an instant.
“Yuzhou is about to experience tumultuous times. What will happen to the Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family if the Dai Family is wiped out?”
Shen Haizhou murmured to himself.
The Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family would undoubtedly try everything to eliminate the threat that was Xu Yan.
Keeping Dai Sheng away wasn’t difficult. Shen Haizhou had his people spread false information on the whereabouts of Wen Yong, and even Xu Yan to Dai Sheng.
Meanwhile, Dai Sheng was madly searching everywhere for Xu Yan and Wen Yong.
The eminent Dai Family’s Refining God Heavenly Man could not even deal with two loose cultivators. Where could he put his face? What about the dignity of the Dai Family?
…
Dai State was the territory ruled by the Dai Family.
The ancestral land of the Dai family was also located here.
Recently, ill fortune seemed to befall the Dai Family. The highly regarded Dai Yingying had been killed, Dai Jun was also dead.
Even the current family head, Dai Yiping, had died in the wilderness and more embarrassingly by the hands of a loose cultivator.
It was a great humiliation indeed!
Dai Yang was Dai Yingying’s cousin. His talent was not outstanding, and even in his thirties, he had not broken through the realm of a minor Heavenly Man.
That day, Dai Yang returned from the outside with his head down, his mood gloomy and fraught.
The Dai Family’s guards and elders were not in doubt. The family had suffered a great calamity, and the descendants had indeed lost some of their sharpness and had become somber.
Wandering aimlessly, Dai Yang finally arrived at the ancestral shrine of the Dai Family.
“Dai Yang, what are you doing here, look spirited! This is our treasury, a heavy land where no one is allowed to enter without permission!”
The patriarch at the gate frowned and berated.
“I know.”
Dai Yang answered dully and turned to leave.
“This place is close to the treasury and suits an ambush. Let’s start here.”
Xu Yan, disguised as Dai Yang, slowly buried himself underground behind a large tree outside the ancestral shrine, his breath completely hidden.
“I only get one chance with the sword. I must severely damage him with one strike to have a chance to kill him!”
Xu Yan’s eyes were serious.
His Sword Intent was quietly condensing. He was continuously refining Sudden Wind Sword Intent. To kill a Refining God Heavenly Man, his strength lay in relying on the Sudden Wind Sword Intent to tear apart the opponent’s Divine Soul.
“Just about ready.”
Xu Yan thought silently.
A divine intent pervaded out and suddenly, a giant serpent with a blue back and a white belly, let out a low growl. It appeared in the sky above the ancestral land of the Dai Family.
Thud!
The martial artists of the Dai Family were taken aback, their faces turned pale with shock as if a mountain was surging towards them. Those under Small Heavenly Man-level, instantly collapsed to the ground.
Only the Great Heavenly Man elders had the strength to resist this overwhelming power. Even so, they were utterly shocked.
A green heaven serpent corpse, attacking the Dai Family?
Boom!
At this moment, from the direction of the ancestor temple, a surge of Divine Soul power emerged.
The figure of an elder instantly appeared, rushing towards the Green Heaven Serpent.
“Green Heaven Serpent, since you’re here, don’t plan on leaving. Let’s see how you ended up becoming a corpse.”
The Green Heaven Serpent erupted with overwhelming power, charging towards the elder. However, under the palm of the elder, it was instantly knocked down from mid-air, breaking a large tree.
Roar!
The Green Heaven Serpent fell to the ground, roaring angrily with its head raised, struggling to get up.
The elder descended from the sky, somewhat excited. The missing Green Heaven Serpent had blundered into the Dai Family. Was this a compensation for the loss suffered by the Dai Family?
“Beast, stop struggling!”
The elder was incredibly excited, he came to the Green Heaven Serpent, striking out fiercely, intending to fully suppress and capture the Green Heaven Serpent.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a strong sense of danger emerged. Behind him, a sharp sword light flashed!
“Not good!”
The elder looked terrified, the power of his Divine Soul was about to burst, and at the same time, his body moved, trying to dodge the attack.
However, he had been totally unprepared before. Meanwhile, Xu Yan’s sudden Wind Sword Intent was as wild as the wind, instantly cutting into his Divine Soul.
At that moment, the elder could only feel as if his Divine Soul was being battered by a hurricane, like a candle in the wind, crazily flickering. Fine cracks had begun to appear on the elder’s Divine Soul, ready to collapse at any time!
“Ah!”
The elder let out a poignant scream!
The intense pain of the soul was unbearable. In an instant, all his contingency plans came to a halt.
Even as his subconscious frantically told him that he must dodge immediately, he must escape instantly, the intense pain of his Divine Soul prevented him from responding in time.
Life and death hang on a thread!
Xu Yan’s prepared sword had slashed into the opponent’s Divine Soul. Although it was not enough to tear his soul apart, it was enough to damage the unprepared elder and his Divine Soul.
The intense pain of his Divine Soul would inevitably make the opponent’s movements stagnant. All contingency measures would pause for an instant.
This moment was his opportunity!
Boom!
The Phenomenon of Mountains and Rivers collapsed instantly, transforming into a thunderous sword.
It seemed as if in the collapsing mountains and rivers, the people were wielding a thunderous sword to strike.
Spurt!
The elder’s body was split into two!
Without the physical body, the Divine Soul became elusive, as if it had lost its support.
Xu Yan’s body surged with light, the endless Sword Intent, the Sudden Wind Sword Intent, the Mountain River Sword Intent, and the real meaning of Descending Dragon Palm, all surged out together!
Spurt!
The soul was torn apart and began to crumble and disappear.
“Who are you?!”
The elder’s soul let out a resentful and furious howl.
“Your killer!”
Xu Yan struck furiously, not giving the opponent any chance.
Grind the bones to dust and erase the soul!
Finally, the elder was dead!
Turned into ashes!
Only then did Xu Yan heave a sigh of relief. He raised his hand to seize the storage pouch dropped by the elder’s corpse. The Descending Dragon Palm controlled the Green Heaven Serpent’s corpse’s shrinkage and also put it into the storage pouch.
At this moment, he looked at the elders of the Dai Family who had been stunned and terrified.
He swung his sword and cut over.
“Today, I step on noble families and slay the Refining God Heavenly Man!”
Xu Yan coldly said.
Boom!
After killing several Great Heavenly Men with one sword, Xu Yan didn’t chase after the others scrambling to escape. Instead, he proceeded to the Dai Family’s treasury.
As they say, time is money. No point wasting it on the flabbergasted elders of the Dai Family.
Xu Yan broke into the Dai Family’s treasury. Without taking time to examine it closely, he just collected all the storage bags he could see and started shoving items into them from the treasury. He didn’t even bother to check what the items were, just swept them up frenziedly, and then fled.
Time to head back to the Inner Domain!
Dai Sheng must be going insane. Yuzhou would be shaken by this.
