"Questions?" The Second Elder was taken aback: "At a time like this, what more is there to ask him?"

The Second Patriarch of the Gu Family gave a mysterious smile and looked at Liu Zixuan, his gaze sharp as he asked, "Liu Zixuan, when you went to the Witch Country, did you manage to get that pearl?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zixuan frowned slightly. He could see that the Second Patriarch of the Gu Family was very concerned about the pearl obtained from the Sakura Sect.

Back then, the ancestor of the Willow Association had once said that the pearl held significant value for Star Sea Martial Artists, and it seemed he wasn’t lying.

His eyes shifted and he smiled, "We’re mortal enemies now, and you ask me this question? Don’t you find it childish?"

Upon seeing this, the Second Patriarch immediately ordered, "Kill Liu Zixuan and his people, and seize both the Guiding Order and the pearl from them."

"Yes!"

The Second Elder and the other martial artists behind him obeyed, picking up their weapons and charged towards Liu Zixuan and his companions.

"Brothers, fight them back! Aim for their heads and smash hard!" Liu Zixuan shouted, and Jiang Yunxuan and Huzi followed him.

As for Gu Yu and Mo Chengfeng, as they had no cultivation techniques, they could only stand aside and watch for now.

Without another word, Liu Zixuan engaged the Second Elder in battle, while Huzi and Jiang Yunxuan faced the other martial artists from the Gu Family.

"Liu Zixuan, today I swear I will tear you to pieces!" The Second Elder was filled with murderous intent, and his gaze towards Liu Zixuan was full of hatred.

Liu Zixuan, seeing his demeanor, mockingly asked, "The Great Elder’s son died, and you, the Second Elder, are so eager. What’s going on? Do you have a thing with the Great Elder’s wife?"

"You!" The Second Elder’s face flashed with an odd expression, his face flushed, and he raised his broadsword to chop down at Liu Zixuan.

Seeing this, Liu Zixuan scoffed, "Ha, did I hit the nail on the head? Seems like the Gu Family’s relations are indeed messy. Did the Second Brother set his sights on the elder sister-in-law? Does that mean even the patriarch’s wife isn’t safe?"

"I’ll kill you!" Infuriated by the harsh words, the Second Elder swung the second sword after the first one failed.

Liu Zixuan raised the Nameless Sword in his hand, and a flash of sword light severed the blade in the Second Elder’s hand.

He shouted scornfully, "With this little skill, you dare to be an elder of one of the Eight Great Powers? If I were you, I’d find a cow to ram my head against and die!"

"Aaaah!"

The Second Elder went completely mad, not only was he humiliated, but even his weapon was instantly destroyed, leaving him utterly shamed!

Suddenly, he mobilized his entire inner strength, ready to unleash a killing blow.

The killing blow from the Peak of Imperial Realm was incredibly terrifying!

If it really descended into a frenzied slaughter, even a Half-Step Emperor Realm would find it troubling.

But the thing is, though Liu Zixuan was also at the Peak of Imperial Realm, he had already defeated the Half-Step Emperor Realm Sect Leader of the Willow Association, and had battled a true Emperor Realm expert in the Witch Country.

How could he be afraid of a killing blow from the Peak of Imperial Realm now!

"I’ll use all my cultivation to avenge my son!"

Suddenly, the Second Elder of the Gu Family became hideous and gaunt, his thin frame like dry wood, as he gathered all his cultivation and inner strength into his hands!

He transformed into an attack with a terrifying wave, directly blasting towards Liu Zixuan.

Though Liu Zixuan wasn’t afraid, he remained cautious, as the oppressive qi was extremely terrifying, almost tearing the surrounding space apart!

"Nine Dragon Qiankun Array!"

Liu Zixuan flicked several Ghost Gate Needles out, forming a grand array before him.

As the powerful attack approached, the entire array trembled fiercely.

Liu Zixuan frowned: "It packs a punch, huh!"

"You... you managed to use an array to block my strongest attack?"

Exhausted of his cultivation, the Second Elder fell from the sky, staring wide-eyed at the unharmed Liu Zixuan!

"Calling this drizzle your strongest attack in front of me?" Liu Zixuan sneered, "I once used this Nine Dragon Qiankun Array to trap a Half-Step Emperor Realm expert when I was at the middle stage of the Imperial Realm. You, at the Peak of Imperial Realm, are nothing!"

Perhaps in front of a true Emperor Realm, the Nine Dragon Qiankun Array was nothing, but against the Peak of Imperial Realm, it was an incredibly formidable existence! It truly could be called impeccable!

The Second Elder’s face was ashen, and he sighed despondently, "Truly, Heaven does not help me!"

"Save your breath, conserve some strength to go have tea with King Yama. Remember to tell him, it was I who killed you!" Liu Zixuan’s right hand trembled, and the Nameless Sword sliced through the air. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Stop, stop at once!"

The Second Patriarch of the Gu Family, seeing this, was displeased and quickly rushed forward, intercepting Liu Zixuan’s Nameless Sword.

The Nameless Sword returned to Liu Zixuan’s hand, and he stared at the Second Patriarch of the Gu Family: "You can block this sword for that shitty Second Elder, but can you block the next sword with your status as the Second Patriarch?"

"You think no one can kill you?" The Second Patriarch of the Gu Family coldly reprimanded.

Liu Zixuan smack his lips: "First it was the Second Young Master, then the Second Elder, and now you, the Second Patriarch. Tsk, tsk, why does your Gu Family have so many number twos."

"You!" The Second Patriarch of the Gu Family was immediately angered by Liu Zixuan’s words.

But it wasn’t Liu Zixuan’s fault for saying so. They weren’t the strongest in the family, and yet, they all ranked second.

This... truly gave rise to a laughing stock!

"That mouth of yours, I swear I’ll tear it apart!"

His subordinates were beaten, and he was insulted. The only thing he could do now was defeat Liu Zixuan, or else, how could he continue to hold his place in Jianghu as the Second Patriarch of the Gu Family!

Pushing the Second Elder aside, the Second Patriarch of the Gu Family charged violently towards Liu Zixuan.

Stopping less than three meters from Liu Zixuan, in the instant he took off his coat, his whole body’s aura exploded.

"Oh, Half-Step Emperor Realm!" Liu Zixuan’s eyes lit up with a smile.

"Liu Zixuan, my Half-Step Emperor Realm is several times stronger than that of the Liu Association Patriarch. If you use the same method you did against him on me, I advise you to commit suicide now!" The Second Patriarch of the Gu Family coldly snorted.

Liu Zixuan activated his X-ray Vision and scanned him up and down. Indeed, the aura of the Second Patriarch of the Gu Family was much stronger than Liu Qianfeng’s. Moreover, having experienced the Gu Family’s cultivation technique, Liu Zixuan had to admit he was not boasting; he was indeed tougher than the Patriarch of the Willow Association.

Liu Zixuan squinted and smiled, "Still, isn’t it just a Half-Step Emperor Realm? If you were a true Emperor Realm, perhaps you’d have the capital to look down on others, but now..."

At this point, Liu Zixuan changed his tone and slowly enunciated: "You! Are! Not! Worthy!"
