[Your desdant, Li Yaozu, has spent seven years wandering the world with his sword, engaging in duels with other swordsmen of equal strength. His mastery of the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" sword i has grown increasingly profound. He has achieved a breakthrough with the Hundred Shadows Sword Aura and created a new sword teique: Sword Travels a Hundred Miles!]

  [He has acquired two thousand swords and fused five hundred of them into his body, making his physical form even more resilient.]

  [After many years of cultivation, Li Yaozu has formed a Sword Core!]

  At this moment, Li Yaozu soared through the sky with ten thousand swords.

  His sword case, crafted by Li Yaotie, was merely a mid-grade spirit artifact, but it could hold tless swords, no different from a ste ring. It also possessed the ability to nourish and enhance swords.

  The protective grand formation of Medie King Valley had been activated. Called the Hundred Flowers Formation, it was a Seventh-Grade formation, and it was currently being bombarded by ten thousand swords.

  Li Yaozu simply stood calmly beside the rainbow of swords, which surged forward like a raging dragon.

  He hadn't fought many battles in these years, yet he was still known as the stro swordsman in Azure Cloud, which was a testament to his power.

  Having reached the Golden Core stage, his physical body had even attaihe level of a high-grade Spirit on. He no longer needed any spiritual power to trol his flying swords.

  He owerful enough to fight a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator!

  The Seven Ironcd were not to be outdone.

  "Raaagh!!!"

  They roared in unison, s into the sky with their demoniergy, taking positions in the air around Medie King Valley. They unched a furious assault using their top-grade Spirit ons imbued with demoniergy.

  They even threw out a formation disk.

  It was the Eight Dires Formation Disk that Li Yunlin had once givehe Bck-Yellow Formation arose, a formation gates emerged from the ground, pletely encirg Medie King Valley!

  Fag these eight members of the Li family, Medie King Valley surprisingly did not retaliate.

  Yao Xian'er, who had just spoken with such sternness and forcefulness, no longer had the same assertive air.

  Because...

  Elder Qiuye had been staying at Medie King Valley for seven years. For seven years, Medie King Valley had kept their whereabouts secret. But... when enemies came to Medie King Valley, Elder Qiuye, without a wrabbed the frenzied Xiao Huang'er and, at the same moment, the Li family's Eight Dires Formation Disk activated...

  He ran away?!!!

  "Qiuye, what are you doing?!"

  Yao Xiaared in disbelief at the two figures esg on a small boat-like spirit shuttle, propelled by a talisman. Xiao Huang'er was even g and struggling, trying to jump back down.

  She couldn't uand.

  She dared to front these eight members of the Li family, who were rumored to be more terrifying than demon cultivators after seven years of notoriety, solely because of the presence of Qiuye and Xiao Huang'er. Qiuye eak Golden Core cultivator, and even though Xiao Huang'er regnant, she was still a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. bined with Medie King Valley's own mid-stage and early-stage Golden Core experts, they had an overwhelming advantage against the so-called stro swordsman in Azure Cloud!

  With su advahey actually fled?!

  But Elder Qiuye didn't even look back. The spirit shuttle vanished in an instant, and cold sweat trickled down Yao Xian'er's forehead.

  She saw it. The aral tablets that the Li family members had just worshipped were flying up into the air.

  There were eight of them initially, but theransformed into forty, and they began frantically attag the sect-proteg formation.

  [Aor's Fury x5!]

  Yao Xian'er gulped.

  "Gulp."

  She swallowed hard. It was too te frets now. She could only grit her teeth and order the people of Medie King Valley to prepare for battle.

  Yao Xiaood atop the celestial lotus beside her, separated by the formation. She forced herself to appear calm as she gazed at Li Yaozu, who was still relentlessly attag the formation with his myriad of swords.

  "Sword King," she said, "my Medie King Valley has aided the world, and tless people are ied to us. Treating Qiuye and Xiao Huang'er was merely an act of kindness. Why must you needlessly make an enemy of Medie King Valley?"

  With a passionate expression, Yao Xian'er tinued, "Now that Qiuye and Xiao Huang'er have left, my Medie King Valley, a pce outside of worldly affairs, has no desire to be involved iroublesome matters. You may all leave."

  What a dispy of veiled threats aits, all while trying to save face.

  However...

  If she were speaking to Li Dalong and his wife, or even someone like Li Tianyi, it might have worked. But to Li Yaozu...

  Li Yaozu only found it ughable.

  He began practig swordsmanship in his youth, and as a young man, he vowed to bee the sword of the Li family. The people of the Azure Clion called him the stro swordsman in Azure Cloud.

  No.

  Li Yaozu scoffed at such empty praise. He knew deep down that he should be the sharp sword standing before the Li family's gate, and he should be clear about who his sword should strike!

  He didn't even spare Yao Xian'er a gnce. He simply looked at the Seven Irond saw their gazes following the dire in which Elder Qiu Ye and Xiao Huang'er had fled. He barked, "Pay them no mind! Someone else will deal with them! The mission given to us by our aors and your Fourth Aunt is—"

  "—to take the lives of these hypocrites in Medie King Valley and use their blood to dye the entire Azure Clion red!"

  Only then did the Seven Ironap back to attention.

  Their eyes gleamed with bloodthirsty madness as they responded in unison, "Yes!"

  They uood. They simply wao savor Xiao Huang'er's despair, the one who had killed Grandpa Pig, and witness Elder Qiuye's regret!

  "Madmen! You Li family are all lunatics!!!"

  Yao Xian'er finally let out a shrill cry, her face torted in rage. But even so, she couldn't ceal the pani her eyes.

  She regretted her as.

  If she had known this would happen, she would have handed over that cowardly pair, Qiuye and Xiao Huang'er, long ago. She shouldn't have helped them exhaust every method to ceive that child over these past seven years!
