The grandfather and grandson looked at each other for the first time, and Xia Feng's heart was also somewhat stirred. He felt an innate sense of affection and familiarity towards this elderly man he was meeting for the first time.
"Grandfather..."
He murmured.
"Good grandson, in just over twenty years, you have already become a Half-Emperor. As expected of my grandson!"
Xia Tianming was incredibly excited and thrilled to see Xia Feng's strength, and even tears welled up in his eyes.
"The heavens have blessed me with such an outstanding grandson, indicating that my lineage is not meant to end. My lineage is destined to make that despicable man Xia Tianming pay the price!"
"Xia Tianming, you really didn't die. Who would've thought you were faking your death all these years to deceive everyone!"
Liao Changfei, who had been knocked back, quickly stabilized himself. He gritted his teeth, looking at him with some fear.
The moment Xia Tianming appeared, his heart was also in turmoil, and he even had thoughts of fleeing!
The reputation of a person and the shadow of a tree, Xia Tianming, in the past, was the true first Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign of the Great Xia Empire, apart from the previous Emperor Xia!
Needless to say, he was also a personal witness to countless legends of Xia Tianming.
"Yes, I didn't die." Xia Tianming looked at him coldly, "Liao Changfei, you truly have some nerve, daring to lay hands on my son and grandson. If it weren't for Wen'Er crushing the Jade Scroll, you might have really driven my lineage to extinction!"
"Xia Tianming, you know I was just following orders... Wait, your strength is only that of a Yellow Tier First Layer Martial Sovereign?"
Liao Changfei did not respond to his words. After Xia Tianming appeared, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about him.
And when he sensed the spiritual power fluctuations from Xia Tianming, he finally realized where this discomfort came from.
"I knew it! Back then, I, along with eleven other Flying Generals, personally witnessed your dantian being shattered, and your realm plummeting to the Martial King Realm, your Emperor Body vanished, an ordinary person like you could never return to the peak!"
Liao Changfei seemed to have found a critical point, and the fear in his eyes instantly vanished, replaced by a laugh: "Who would've thought, although you became a mere mortal, it seems your past cultivation experience remained, and you managed to defy the heavens and break through to the Martial Sovereign Realm!"
"To be honest, I almost got scared by you. I don't know how you returned to the Martial Sovereign Realm, but as a Yellow Tier First Layer Martial Sovereign, you are still destined to be crushed by me!"
Liao Changfei revealed an excited and cruel smile: "Who would've thought I would have the chance to personally kill the Great War God of Xia Empire, Xia Tianming!"
Upon hearing Liao Changfei's words, Xia Naiwen suddenly turned his head, gritting his teeth after sensing the spiritual power fluctuations from Xia Tianming.
"Father, why don't you take Feng'Er and Xiaoqian and run, I will hold him off!"
"With your level of cultivation, what can you do to hold off a Martial Sovereign?" Xia Tianming shook his head.
"No worries, Father, I have my own methods. As long as there are verdant hills, there will always be firewood to burn. You and Feng'Er are the hope of our lineage. As long as you live, there will surely be a day to avenge me." Xia Naiwen's eyes were bloodshot, his fists tightly clenched, poised to soar into the sky.
Yet, Xia Tianming extended his hand, pulling down the just airborne Xia Naiwen.
"I know what you're thinking, and I don't agree."
Xia Tianming glanced at Xia Naiwen, understanding that his son intended to buy some time through self-sacrifice, thus giving him the chance to escape with Huang Xiaoqian and Xia Feng.
"Your father has stormed through the Great Xia Empire. How could I be unable to handle Liao Changfei?"
"Just watch closely, what can a Yellow Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign do? As a Yellow Tier First Layer Martial Sovereign, I'll kill him and show you!"
Xia Tianming's expression was extremely confident. He lifted his eyes to look at Liao Changfei in the sky, staring as if he were looking at an ant.
"Hmph, pretending to be bold, let's see how you plan to kill me!" Liao Changfei roared, lifting his giant sword, pointing straight at Xia Tianming, "Come on, then!"
Though speaking boldly, he truly did not dare to take the initiative.
After all, he faced Xia Tianming, who had left a colorful mark in the military history of the Great Xia Empire!
"Xiao Feng, a month before you were born, your grandfather left. This is the first time I've seen you." Xia Tianming affectionately tousled Xia Feng's hair.
"Sorry for hiding all these years. We'll talk about everything later. You're already a Half-Emperor now, watching a true Martial Sovereign battle will be a huge benefit for your future growth. Follow me."
Xia Feng nodded, then followed Xia Tianming, who was topped with a giant purple Great Cauldron, ascending into the air together.
Xia Tianming and Xia Feng, one a Yellow Tier First Layer Martial Sovereign, the other a Half-Emperor, confronted Liao Changfei, a Yellow Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign from a distance.
"In a while, I'll take the offense while you assist and find his flaws to tell me."
Xia Tianming secretly communicated with Xia Feng.
Xia Feng nodded quickly, understanding that while his grandfather was not simple, his realm was still much lower than the opponent's, unable to crush him with sheer force.
"Silent Extinction Celestial Finger!"
Xia Tianming wasted no words. The aura of a Martial Sovereign erupted, and he immediately used his divine technique!
The blood moon in the sky suddenly shook. In Liao Changfei's grave expression, a forefinger emanating with an aura of destruction roared towards him from above.
This was the Martial Emperor's Fourth Divine Technique of Xia Tianming, a single-target attack that was one of his most outstanding skills.
At this moment, even he felt a terrifying threat under the increase of the Nine Orifice Exquisite Heart!
Liao Changfei raised his giant sword, then suddenly charged forward, attempting to break Xia Tianming's Silent Extinction Celestial Finger head-on!
Under everyone's gaze, the roaring Liao Changfei transformed into a gigantic fiery meteor, crashing straight into the finger.
At the moment of contact between the two, Xia Tianming's Silent Extinction Celestial Finger started to swell rapidly, and then shattered just as rapidly!
The terrifying image of the blood moon's divine martial technique was inexplicably broken by Liao Changfei with a large sword!
"Hahaha, you really were just bluffing. You're no longer the invincible Great War God of Xia, now you're just a mere ordinary Yellow Tier First Layer Martial Sovereign!"
Liao Changfei laughed maniacally, finally having no more fear of Xia Tianming. After breaking the Silent Extinction Celestial Finger, his entire body transformed into several afterimages in the air, swiftly advancing towards Xia Tianming and Xia Feng!
Xia Naiwen and Huang Xiaoqian's hearts leaped to their throats, but Xia Tianming remained calm, his lips curling slightly upward.
"Xiao Feng, watch closely. Sometimes, defeating the enemy relies on more than mere realm and cultivation."
As Xia Tianming spoke to Xia Feng, he manipulated his spiritual power, controlling the Void Cauldron above his head which enlarged a hundredfold!
Liao Changfei had just reached the two, and the expanded Void Cauldron instantly engulfed him!
