Chapter 733: No More Than 10 Moves

The Great Ancestor of the Jiang family had returned to his absolute peak precisely because he had burned away all of his lifeforce. As a result, both his powers and his bearing had returned to when he was at his prime.

Only then did the crowd realize why the Great Ancestor never showed up despite how intense the battles had been.

Lu Xuan’s killing spree was so overpowering and flawless that none could even begin to resist him. Everyone who stood in his way was practically killed with just one move.

Even the great elder of the Jiang family was killed with just one move from Lu Xuan, whose powers had suddenly burst.

Due to how intense the massacres had been, everyone around felt like a century had passed. In reality, everything had happened within a moment.

The crowd quickly recognized the young man who was wearing a Taoist robe and standing by the Great Ancestor’s side.

It was Shi Buyi, the most extraordinary person from the current generation that the Immemorial Path had to offer.

It was said that his powers were extremely formidable, making him the best of the best the Holy Sun Continent had to offer in the current generation.

He was so renowned that he gained plenty of support from within the Immemorial Path. He was even a very strong contender for the position of next sectmaster.

“Even Shi Buyi is here.”

Some people felt that the situation felt off. Despite the Great Ancestor of the Jiang family being so well-known, he only reigned supreme over that region and not any further.

Shi Buyi’s status meant that he didn’t actually need to show up to the event. He was at a much higher status than the Jiang family, after all.

However, many then quickly realized another reason why he showed up: Liu Haotian.

Shi Buyi had come for the descendant of the sacred ones.

“The sacred bloodline was truly something, so much so that even someone like Shi Buyi himself has to come for the descendant of the sacred ones.”

The crowd quickly realized that the Great Ancestor’s birthday celebration was far from enough to catch the attention of someone like that. However, things would be completely different when Liu Haotian, a descendant of the sacred ones, was involved.

As expected, everyone found that Shi Buyi’s eyes were on Liu Haotian the whole time.

At that moment, there was a very eerie standoff taking place up in the sky. Lu Xuan and the Great Ancestor stood against each other, with the aura emanating from the Great Ancestor being so terrifying that it was deemed suffocating.

On the other hand, Lu Xuan looked like he had completely nothing on him. What made the situation so weird about it was that despite that, the Great Ancestor’s aura was unable to affect him at all.

Shi Buyi stood by the Great Ancestor’s side with his robe billowing in the wind. He said to the Great Ancestor, “Great Ancestor, could you do me a favor and not do anything against them? Our sectmaster said that he’d like Liu Haotian to join the Immemorial Path. He is a descendant of the sacred ones, after all. The sacred ones had done so much for the Holy Sun Continent. I’m afraid it would be inappropriate to treat their descendants so poorly.”

The Great Ancestor struggled as he turned his head to the side to look at Shi Buyi. He replied, “This man has killed all of our elders at the Divine Transformation Realm, including our great elder and head of the clan. The future of the Jiang family is almost gone thanks to that man. Do you think I’ll be able to rest easy if I don’t kill him?”

The Great Ancestor slowly spoke through gritted teeth, making it obvious how much he hated Lu Xuan.

During any other time, the renown of the Immemorial Path would have sufficed to have him make compromises. Now, all he could think about was killing Lu Xuan.

One could imagine just how bleak the clan’s future looked after Lu Xuan killed so many fighters of the Jiang family.

The clan had made countless enemies, to begin with. One could imagine what kind of hell would’ve awaited them if the formidable ones didn’t protect them.

One could’ve said that Lu Xuan had thrown the entire clan into the depths of Hell. In that case, the Great Ancestor decided that if he was going to Hell, he would drag Lu Xuan down with him.

The killing intent raging within the Great Ancestor’s eyes looked like it was about to spill over as he said, “Not just him. I’m going to kill Liu Haotian as well. Nothing can stop me. If you dare to keep trying to tell me to back down, I’ll simply think you’re one of them. In that case, don’t blame me for treating you so harshly.”

Shi Buyi looked at the Great Ancestor and said, “If that’s the case, then I shall say no more.”

It was obvious that he had no intentions of meddling in the feud between the Great Ancestor and Lu Xuan.

The Great Ancestor held a spear, twirling it about before pointing it at Lu Xuan. “If I can’t kill you within 10 moves, then I’ll kill myself instead!”

“Oh, how interesting!”

Lu Xuan laughed. The aura emanating from the Great Ancestor was so intensely powerful and harrowing as his lifeforce burned. It was of a level completely beyond those of Jiang Tiansheng and the others.

Boom!

It seemed as if the air around the Great Ancestor was about to crumble. He made his move, thrusting the spear in his hand at Lu Xuan at once.

The crimson flames conjured by the spear lit up the sky right away, turning the entire place into a massive ocean of flames.

All of the clan’s guests, whether they were at the Divine Transformation Realm or otherwise, experienced massive psychological pressure brought about by the spear.

A fire dragon was conjured from the spear, shooting into the sky as it charged at Lu Xuan. That was the Great Ancestor’s most powerful attack.

That attack’s power was at the ninth tier of the Divine Transformation Realm.

That was his strongest attack. Nobody knew that the Great Ancestor had already gone so far as to reach the ninth tier.

It was a pity that despite so, he was already so old that getting to such a tier wouldn’t extend his lifespan by much. He was still on the brink of death.

At that moment, Lu Xuan’s aura climbed as well.

It went all the way into the Divine Transformation Realm before climbing into higher tiers.

The first tier, the second tier..

The seventh tier, the eighth tier..

Then the ninth tier.

Lu Xuan cranked his powers all the way up to the ninth tier of the Divine Transformation Realm. While his current level of power beyond what it actually was, he could still easily command that power as if it was his own.

At that moment, the crimson fire dragon howled and charged at Lu Xuan with its fangs and claws out.

Lu Xuan then threw a punch in return as well: the Golden Dragon’s Claw.

It was a very simple move, yet it was still unimaginable powerful when Lu Xuan used it.

Boom!

The dragon claw of the Golden Dragon’s Claw punch blasted onto that crimson fire dragon, tearing apart the fire dragon right away. The golden dragon then crashed into the spear itself, causing sparks to fly all over the place.

Both parties had given their all in that one clash, not holding anything back.

“Now I get why you’re making such a big deal about killing me within 10 moves. Any more than that and those old bones of yours would fall apart. Am I right?” Lu Xuan laughed at the top of his lungs upon seeing what the Great Ancestor of the Jiang family was trying to pull.

The Great Ancestor had been burning all of his lifeforce. Despite his efforts, being so old meant that he was unable to fight prolonged battles.

He could only make 10 moves at most.
