"If you won't come out, then this Grandmaster will drag you out!"
A Grandmaster of the Pei family's sword dao snorted coldly, two terrifying beams of light piercing the air from his eyes.
As he unleashed his sword, boundless sword energy surged forth, accompanied by a heaven-shattering sword cry, suddenly descending upon the inn.
"Rumble!"
Innumerable sword energies instantly pierced through the inn.
In the blink of an eye, it was riddled with holes.
Sections began to collapse.
Chaos erupted within the inn.
Desperate and terrified screams and cries echoed out.
Many powerful individuals dining or staying in the inn were caught in the crossfire, blood light flashing like streaks of crimson lightning.
However, the Grandmaster from the Pei family remained indifferent, showing no intention of stopping.
The innkeeper knelt down in despair, kowtowing, "Grandmaster, please show mercy! It's one thing to destroy my inn, but the people inside are innocent! I beg you, be compassionate and cease this slaughter!"
The Pei family Grandmaster's expression was extremely cold.
The other powerful figures of the Pei family were equally unmoved.
They acted as if this was all perfectly natural.
The Pei family Grandmaster said expressionlessly, "Anyone who dares to shelter our Pei family's enemies is acting against us. Whether you are innocent or not, your deaths are your own fault!"
"A mere merchant dares to babble before this Grandmaster. You are seeking death."
He abruptly flicked his sleeve.
*Poof!*
The innkeeper was instantly torn into a mist of blood by an incredibly fearsome sword energy.
This brutal and bloody scene immediately terrified all the onlookers, who scrambled backward in panic.
They feared being caught in the chaos.
The Pei family people...
Were too overbearing!
"Ling Fan, if you don't come out, do you want this old man to tear you and the entire inn to shreds? By then, you won't even have a chance to repent."
The Pei family Grandmaster chuckled coldly.
His laughter reverberated in all directions.
He suddenly clenched his palm from afar.
Instantly, a terrifying and boundless torrent of sword energy swept through the heavens and earth, transforming into a colossal hand capable of engulfing the entire inn. It reached out to grasp the already dilapidated inn.
Just then.
*Screech!*
A beam of sword light seemed to cleave the heavens and earth.
The giant hand, formed from terrifying sword energy, was instantly shattered.
A young, gray-haired youth emerged from the ruined inn.
Behind him.
Pei Nanwei, whose beauty was breathtaking, followed closely.
Pei Nanwei's treasured sword was already unsheathed.
The sword that had just torn apart the Pei family Grandmaster was precisely her strike.
The Pei family sword dao Grandmaster narrowed his eyes.
He glanced at Pei Nanwei with a hint of surprise.
Pei Nanwei's sword seemed to have grown stronger since last time!
However, this was not entirely unexpected.
He then looked at the gray-haired youth in front of Pei Nanwei.
Killing intent surged from him.
"You are that Ling Fan, aren't you? Heh, this Grandmaster thought you little brat would continue to be a turtle hiding inside. You've finally decided to come out and accept death."
"Why don't you kneel down and accept your fate quickly!"
The Pei family Grandmaster shouted sternly.
The Pei family experts behind him also let out earth-shattering roars.
"Kneel!"
"Kneel!"
Pei Nanwei narrowed her eyes.
Like a dangerous female beast.
She said coldly, "Ninth Elder, this is my master. You dare to be presumptuous! Do not bring a clan-destroying disaster upon the Pei family."
As soon as Pei Nanwei uttered these words.
All the onlookers widened their eyes in astonishment.
They had vaguely heard that the Pei family's foremost sword dao prodigy had taken a trash cultivator at the early Xuan Gang realm as her master.
Initially, everyone thought it was just a rumor.
But who knew it was actually true!
This was simply unbelievable.
What was so special about that gray-haired youth named Ling Fan that he could subdue such a peerless genius like Pei Nanwei, renowned throughout the Flowing Cloud Kingdom!
While everyone was shocked.
The expressions of all the Pei family experts turned extremely grim.
Pei Nanwei was the sword dao genius they were most proud of.
Yet now, she had been taken as a servant by someone.
Did this not tarnish the prestige of their Pei family!
"Silence!"
"You little slut, you have brought such immense humiliation upon our Pei family, and you still dare to show your face here. Wait until we get back to see how you are punished!"
The Ninth Elder of the Pei family roared in fury.
His temples bulged with veins, like wriggling earthworms.
"Why aren't you quickly slaying this madman and redeeming yourself with his blood to wash away our Pei family's shame! What are you waiting for!"
The Ninth Elder commanded Pei Nanwei.
He wanted Pei Nanwei to kill Ling Fan herself.
However, Pei Nanwei seemed not to have heard the Ninth Elder's command.
She remained unmoved.
This made the Ninth Elder's expression even more unsightly.
"Hmph! You little slut, you dare to defy my orders. Do you really think I can't deal with you? You are nothing but a tool!!"
The Ninth Elder's words caused a sharp glint to flash in Pei Nanwei's eyes.
But the Ninth Elder clearly did not intend to reveal anything further.
With a roar.
Boundless sword dao airflow erupted from within his body. He pressed forward, and an extremely terrifying pressure instantly enveloped Pei Nanwei.
Late Yuan Tian realm!
This Ninth Elder of the Pei family was indeed a top Grandmaster at the late Yuan Tian realm.
Furthermore, he was a sword dao Grandmaster with the most formidable offensive power.
*Stomp, stomp, stomp!*
Pei Nanwei was forced to retreat more than ten steps by this pressure.
Although she tried her best to resist, the vast gap in cultivation still placed her at a significant disadvantage.
The Ninth Elder looked disdainful.
Just a young prodigy at the peak of the Xuan Gang realm.
He was almost a full major realm lower than him.
And he dared to act presumptuously before him.
Truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.
After forcing Pei Nanwei back, the Ninth Elder's eyes, sharp and piercing like a hawk's, fixed on Ling Fan.
"Kid, why don't you quickly kneel and confess? Do you also wish to taste this old man's sword? With your meager cultivation, you probably can't even resist one ten-thousandth of my sword energy. Don't be foolish!"
The Ninth Elder of the Pei family spoke with authority.
Just then.
Everyone watched in astonishment...
This gray-haired youth, who was almost in a desperate situation...
He smiled.
Then, he contemptuously said to the Ninth Elder of the Pei family, "What are you, to be worthy of drawing your sword against me."
Upon hearing this.
Everyone present was dumbfounded, frozen like statues.
They stared in disbelief at this incredibly audacious youth.
How dared he utter such lawless and arrogant words to the dignified Ninth Elder of the Pei family.
Compared to the Ninth Elder.
He didn't even have the qualifications to throw an egg against a rock.
He was at most a speck of dust.
And he dared to speak so boastfully before the Ninth Elder of the Pei family.
He was truly mad!
Everyone looked at Ling Fan as if he were insane.
The Ninth Elder laughed in extreme anger.
But that smile.
Was extremely sinister and venomous.
*Boom!*
He lunged towards Ling Fan.
He intended to crush Ling Fan into dust from thin air.
He wanted this brat, who dared to challenge his authority, to know what despair was.
