Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu was momentarily stunned, then carefully inspected Yumian Jun.

Looking at his luxurious attire and that waist belt studded with red jades, every detail exuded the aura of a nouveau riche.

Master Ping's voice echoed in Luo Xiu's mind, "Looks like another easy mark has come to deliver treasures to you. That belt of his is a fine item. Make sure to snatch it from him."

Luo Xiu smiled and said, "I thought the belt looked nice from the first glance."

"Yumian Jun, if you want to die, just say so!"

At that moment, Yan Daoling suddenly roared, stepping quickly out from the crowd to stand in front of Luo Xiu and confront Yumian Jun directly.

Soon after, Mu Xueyan, Xiao Luanzi, and the others also gathered behind Luo Xiu.

Yan Daoling glanced back at Luo Xiu and sent a Divine Sense Communication, "My disciple, this Yumian Jun also has the strength of a Tao Jade Two. I can only hold him off. When you see an opportunity, take your companions and leave the Dragon Grotto. Don't worry about me."

Luo Xiu looked at Yan Daoling's back, feeling quite surprised. This old man might not be a good person, but he was a man of sentiment and righteousness. At least, when trouble arose, he didn't choose to stand aside; he would even stand alone against the raging tide. Based on this point alone, Luo Xiu felt the old man was worth befriending. It might not be enough to become his master, but being friends was perfectly fine.

Yumian Jun stared coldly at Yan Daoling. "For a Lower Realm Mortal, Yan Daoling, do you really intend to fall out with my Blood Red Mountain?"

Yan Daoling shouted angrily, "Cut the crap! You want to touch my disciple, and you expect me to be polite about it?"

Yumian Jun said, "Your disciple insulted my subordinate Hongbin earlier; I'm merely here to demand an explanation."

"Bullshit! You're just using this as an excuse to make an issue out of it. In reality, you're coveting the opportunity my disciple has obtained!"

Yumian Jun's voice grew heavy. "You should be aware of the consequences... Even if you don't die today, once you return to the Upper Realm, you'll face Blood Red Mountain's endless pursuit!"

Hearing this, Yan Daoling laughed heartily. "I stand alone! Why would I shrink from a fight!"

At this moment, the surrounding crowd had already dispersed. They knew a great battle was imminent, and no one wanted to get caught in it. Both Yumian Jun and Yan Daoling were existences that could not be easily provoked, so the people could only watch the spectacle from a safe distance.

Meanwhile, Luo Qingxian simply turned and left. She didn't want to waste her time and energy on matters unrelated to herself. Since the Azure Dragon Sword Array had already been broken by someone else, there was no point in staying. Rather than waste time here, she would prefer to go seek opportunities elsewhere.

Seeing Luo Qingxian leave, Zhu Yu hurriedly followed. "Princess Luo, I'll go with you!"

Luo Qingxian didn't agree, but she didn't refuse either.

In her eyes, Zhu Yu was simply insignificant. As long as he didn't get in her way, anything was fine.

Seeing Zhu Yu leave, Hong Shizhang, his master, naturally wouldn't stay behind either. After telling Yan Daoling to fend for himself, he went to chase after Zhu Yu.

...

On the plain littered with corpses, Yumian Jun's body suddenly radiated a terrifying bloody aura as he stared at Yan Daoling before him. "Since you insist on courting death, then I shall grant your wish!"

Two Dao Jades quietly appeared in The Void behind him. They resembled two drops of frozen blood, emitting a strange and eerie aura.

Unwilling to be outdone, Yan Daoling's aura skyrocketed in an instant! Two Dao Jades shaped like bronze cauldrons appeared in The Void behind him, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

Seeing that two Tao Jade Two powerhouses were about to clash, the crowd immediately retreated even farther, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

Yan Daoling glanced back at Luo Xiu. "Silly boy, what are you standing there for? Are you stunned by your master's overwhelming power and presence?

"That's right, you were born in the Lower Realm. How could you have ever seen such a spectacle?

"Hurry up and take your companions to a safe distance, lest your master unleashes his divine might and accidentally injures you."

Luo Xiu looked at the old man, speechless.

"Still thinking of running away? None of you are leaving today!"

Just then, Hongbin led a group of Blood Red Mountain disciples forward, quickly surrounding Luo Xiu and his companions.

Hongbin looked down on Luo Xiu with an air of superiority, as if looking at an ant. "Lower Realm Mortal, weren't you quite capable when you insulted me before? Why don't you try being arrogant for me now?"

Luo Xiu shook his head gently, his expression indifferent. He said flatly, "I have no interest in you now. But, as thanks for bringing your master here, I've decided to grant you a quick death."

After speaking, he held out his hand to Dou Dou.

Between swordsmen, no words are needed.

Dou Dou instantly understood and obediently handed the broken sword she had just obtained to Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu took the broken sword and stepped forward.

Hongbin's face darkened and he gritted his teeth. Suddenly feeling a sense of oppression, he couldn't help but retreat while shouting, "Senior Brothers, help me take down this lowlife!"

SLICE!

But in the next moment, a strange sound suddenly rang out. A Blood Red Mountain disciple who was about to make a move had his head sliced off by a streak of Sword Light.

Seeing this, the entire scene instantly fell silent.

What just happened?

A Sword Light had flashed, but no one saw who had drawn their sword. Why was that Blood Red Mountain disciple suddenly decapitated?

At this time, Yumian Jun's expression had turned incomparably grim. With his perception, he had naturally seen that it was Luo Xiu who had instantly killed the Blood Red Mountain disciple with a single sword strike.

"Lower Realm Mortal, you're really asking to die! How dare you ambush my disciple!

"What are you all standing there for? Kill this lowlife for me!"

CRACKLE...

A group of Blood Red Mountain disciples immediately rushed forward upon hearing the order, unleashing killing blows! However, in the next moment, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Luo Xiu's body flickered with lightning as he moved through them as if they weren't there. And those disciples rushing toward him also flickered with lightning, their limbs paralyzing as their movements became bizarrely slow!

For a moment, even Luo Xiu was a little surprised.

He hadn't expected his newly refined Thunder Path Physique to have such an ability—during combat, his body would automatically release an electric current to paralyze any enemy who came within a certain range.

Master Ping chuckled, "Kid, how about this Thunder Path Physique?"

Luo Xiu replied, "It's very good."

Afterward, to continue familiarizing himself with the Thunder Path Physique, Luo Xiu deliberately slowed his pace.

In truth, he only needed a single sword strike—he didn't even need to fully draw his sword—to instantly kill these Blood Red Mountain disciples.

He took one step and swung his sword once, killing one person with each strike. His movements were like a master calligrapher brandishing a brush, possessing a certain free-spirited elegance that was a feast for the eyes of the onlookers.

A short while later, when Luo Xiu stood before Hongbin, all the other Blood Red Mountain disciples had been decapitated. Each one was killed cleanly with a single, neat strike.

SLICE!

Luo Xiu couldn't be bothered to say a word; he simply swung his sword.

Before Hongbin could even react, his head hit the ground.

Luo Xiu always kept his promises.

He had promised Hongbin a quick death.

...

Luo Xiu kicked Hongbin's head, sending it rolling to a stop in front of Yumian Jun, then walked towards him at an unhurried pace.

"You don't train your pet properly, letting it run around without a leash to bite people. Today, I did a good deed and slaughtered it for you."

He stopped and looked at Yumian Jun with a friendly expression, smiling as he spoke. "I don't know who you are, nor am I interested in knowing. But judging from your attire, you must be a wealthy man in the Upper Realm.

"I have two choices for you here.

"Either you voluntarily hand over all your valuables, and I can consider giving you a less painful death.

"Or, I'll take them by force myself, but you will die a little more painfully."

He then turned to look at Yan Daoling. "Elder Yan, I appreciate the sentiment, but this is my business. I'll resolve it myself."

Only then did Yan Daoling snap back to his senses. He opened his mouth but hesitated to speak. The power and carefree elegance Luo Xiu had displayed while killing one person with every step had made it impossible for him to gauge Luo Xiu's true strength.

"Lower Realm Mortal, you're courting death!"

Yumian Jun was already incandescent with rage and attacked immediately!

"Shocking Blood Red Palm!"

Not only had Luo Xiu slaughtered his disciples, but he was also acting as if Yumian Jun was beneath his notice. This was utterly infuriating.
