The Sword Drawing Technique unfurled, shattering the formidable force of Void Transformation within the invisible space. At the same time, it was further seared by the Burning Entropy Flame. In just an instant, the Great Void Transforming Palm was dissolved! At this moment, Murong Ao's expression turned serious. He had indeed underestimated Xia Liu! He initially thought he could crush Xia Liu's arrogance with the Great Void Transforming Palm. But now he realized he was gravely mistaken. The extreme move that Xia Liu displayed was even superior to his own! The mockery from before was still vivid, and now it was like slapping their own faces. How old is Xia Liu anyway? Even though the Family Head's Great Void Transforming Palm isn't the top technique, no one at Qi Cultivation Level 15 could withstand it unscathed. Yet, Xia Liu dissolved it effortlessly. This was enough to prove Xia Liu's extraordinary capability! "What a monster! I truly underestimated you!" "Family Head Murong is too kind, I merely managed to dissolve one technique by luck." Xia Liu touched the tip of his nose, appearing humble. "Hehe, I can see now that your arrogant words earlier were perhaps meant to provoke me into accepting your wager." Seeing Xia Liu's skilled modesty, Murong Ao shook his head. He realized that he had fallen into Xia Liu's trap. "Ha, when Family Head Murong speaks, he surely keeps his word." Seeing Xia Liu admitting so directly, Murong Ao didn't know what to say. It was enough to prove that Xia Liu's wisdom and talent surpassed those of his peers. With such a monstrous intellect, his experiences must be extremely rich. "So it was all just an act..." Murong Yan stared directly at Xia Liu. She couldn't see through Xia Liu's true nature. Upon their first encounter, he had orchestrated it so she would save him, that desolate merchant, a swindler! Now, she was once again fooled by him for a moment. "So infuriating! To have deceived everyone!" Xiaowu was very angry; she even thought that Xia Liu's purpose in entering the Kunwu Realm was not to eradicate the Immeasurable Sect. If so, then all previous expectations were in vain. The onlookers around the stage didn't know what to say anymore. Everyone was tricked by this young guy! The Murong Family, with so many people, was led by one person on such a merry dance! Just thinking about it was infuriating. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩 "Family head, kill him!" "Yes! Kill him! How dare he deceive everyone!" "Show him some consequences, does he think he's a god?" Some of the angry Murong family members shouted, some sincerely, others out of frustration. But most believed that no matter how Xia Liu maneuvered, he couldn't defeat the family head. So, they remained silent for now. Waiting patiently for Xia Liu to meet his comeuppance. "Young one, a man's word is his bond, but I give you a chance to retract the wager, would you take it?" Murong Ao remembered Xia Liu saying that if he lost, he would have his hands severed. Xia Liu shook his head with a smile: "If I can trade my hands for a chance to enter the Kunwu Realm, I am willing to gamble once." "Haha! Alright! Then let's continue, I won't hold back!" Murong Ao nodded, he admired Xia Liu, but that didn't mean he would go easy. On the contrary, he would be more earnest, for it was a rare chance to meet such a prodigious youth. How could he let it pass uneventfully! "In that case, Family Head Murong, be cautious!" As Xia Liu wielded his Sword Qi, scorching heat filled the area. "High-intensity Fire Attribute! With a hint of coldness, it seems very unique!" Murong Ao perceived the uniqueness in Xia Liu's aura, and his palms moved, ready to counter any extreme move at any moment. Unlike the usual Fire Spirit Sword, within the Divine Sense, the Five Elements Wheel reversed, and Origin Power continuously surged forth. Making the Flowing Fire Sword even sharper. With a wave of the Spirit Sword, instantly, in the formless void, Karmic Fire rampaged, Sword Qi surged beyond the void. "Humph! Break for me!" Murnong Ao snorted coldly, his fists crashing down, as a shield wall appeared. In an instant, the surging fiery Sword Qi was directly shattered. "Hehe, not worth a fight!" "Indeed, with just this ability, it surely tops in intimidation." "Sigh, truly thankful for his performance though, it succeeded in entertaining many." The audience's ridiculing remarks hadn't yet settled. To their shock, at the site of the war platform turned to ruins, Murong Ao hurriedly tore off his clothes. Murong Ao realized something was amiss, and immediately formed a seal. The next second, a muffled sound echoed from Murong Ao's chest. And he was forced back several steps. Faced with this bizarre scene, everyone gaped at Murong Ao in shock. Unable to comprehend what exactly happened just now? Why would the Family Head at Qi Cultivation Level 15 do something like tear his clothes, why would his chest explode? Murong Ao reached out to wipe the trickling blood from his chest. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke: "Your flame is very special, what is its name?" "Heaven and Earth Strange Fire, Burning Entropy Flame!" Upon hearing the name, Murong Ao understood. Should Karmic Fire be elevated to its peak, just one look could ignite a low-rank cultivator. It truly kills in utter silence. Moreover, this Exotic Fire can blend into the void, assaulting without caution. "Such a Heaven and Earth Strange Fire, though your cultivation isn't enough yet, don't expect to burn me again next time!" Although Karmic Fire is terrifying, it wasn't in its peak state, Xia Liu's cultivation wasn't higher than his either. With a little focus, Murong Ao was confident he could evade the attacks of the Karmic Fire. "Karmic Fire can only be an unexpected move, since Family Head Murong has discovered it, I naturally won't use it again." Xia Liu chuckled, liking both the Sword Drawing Technique and Karmic Fire as assassination moves. Facing a high-rank cultivator head-on, only high-strength means can suffice! "Hmm? Disregarding the Karmic Fire, could there be an even more powerful finishing move?" Murnong Ao wondered, slightly expectant of the shock Xia Liu might still bring. "No! I can't just sit and wait, or I'll lose!" After a bit of thought, Murong Ao decided to take the initiative! "Liu Xia, forgive me, I cannot allow you to enter the Kunwu Realm, so this move will let you give up!" Murnong Ao's eyes sharpened, his seal-forming hands turning into afterimages. In the formless, a terrifying aura spread boundlessly. "This aura, it's a family secret technique!" "Huh? Why would the Family Head use this move!" When the surrounding protective elders sensed the aura from Murong Ao's technique, one by one, they were struck with astonishing surprise. Because this is the Murong Clan's secret technique! As fearsome as the sect-protecting secret techniques of many powerful sects. Normally, any cultivator of the same rank encountering this move would be nearly finished off instantly. They hadn't imagined that to deal with a young man at Qi Cultivation Level 12, Murong Ao would exert such means. Seeing this, Xia Liu's expression grew solemn…
