The terrifying sword qi, carrying a lethal sharpness, swept over.
However, Ling Fan remained unfazed.
He didn't even blink.
Just as everyone thought Ling Fan would be torn to shreds by the sword energy.
Suddenly, another even more terrifying and sharper sword qi erupted.
It blocked Pei Jingguang's strike, and simultaneously,
With a tearing sound,
A flash of blood,
Pei Jingguang's arm was severed at the shoulder, flying high into the air.
Blood gushed wildly from his shoulder.
It was revealed that the ancient sword held in Pei Nanwei's arms had been unsheathed at some point.
Her alluring and seductive body stood before Ling Fan.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events.
Damn it!
Pei Nanwei had actually cut off Pei Jingguang's arm.
This was truly unexpected.
"Are you crazy? What are you doing!!"
Pei Jingguang clutched his shoulder, his eyes splitting with rage as he glared fiercely at Pei Nanwei.
Pei Nanwei's expression was blank.
She said coldly, "How dare you attack my master. Even if you are my clan brother, I cannot forgive you!"
"This sword severing your arm is merely a minor punishment. If you dare to offend my master again, do not blame me for showing no mercy."
As Pei Nanwei spoke, a frosty killing intent emanated from her beautiful face.
She did not seem to be joking at all.
The crowd was utterly stunned into numbness.
My god.
Had Pei Nanwei gone mad!
She was actually protecting that good-for-nothing as her master.
She had even severed the hand of Pei Jingguang, a genius from her own clan...
For a sword genius to lose an arm was tantamount to being half-crippled.
Jiang Yong and the other geniuses from Xichuan Province were completely dumbfounded.
They lamented inwardly.
Why was heaven so unfair!
How could this peerlessly beautiful genius swordswoman have taken a liking to that good-for-nothing, and even recognized him as her master.
Why had such good fortune not fallen upon them.
Were they inferior to that good-for-nothing in any way?
Absolutely not.
Not only were they not inferior,
But they were ten, even a hundred times stronger.
Pei Jingguang was filled with boundless rage.
He gritted his teeth in anger.
He stared intently at Pei Nanwei.
However, Pei Nanwei met his gaze with a cold indifference, showing no guilt or fear.
"Good for you, Pei Nanwei. I'll see how you explain this to the clan!"
Pei Jingguang declared, clutching his severed arm, and then hastily departed with the other Pei family members.
"Master, how should these people be dealt with?"
Pei Nanwei gestured towards Wei Liuping, Jiang Yong, Song Yuhang, and the others, asking Ling Fan for instructions.
Upon hearing this, everyone shivered.
Especially Jiang Yong, Song Yuhang, and the others, who were filled with immense trepidation.
They had initially thought that Ling Fan, having offended Wei Liuping, was surely doomed today.
But unexpectedly, this good-for-nothing had made a miraculous comeback in such an unbelievable manner.
With Pei Nanwei as his bodyguard,
Let alone them.
Even Wei Liuping could not do anything to him.
Not only could he not do anything to him,
But it seemed that now Wei Liuping had to curry favor with this good-for-nothing.
They felt so stifled they wanted to vomit blood.
Ling Fan glanced indifferently at Wei Liuping and the others.
Then he said to Pei Nanwei, "As I said before, if he had knelt, I would have left him a whole corpse. But he refused to kneel then, so let him be utterly annihilated."
Upon hearing Ling Fan's words,
Wei Liuping's lungs felt as if they would explode from anger.
As a direct descendant of the Mo Wu Wei family, Wei Liuping held an extremely noble status. When had he ever been so humiliated?
And by a mere early-stage Xuan Gang realm good-for-nothing!
If this is unbearable, then what is?
"Good for you, good-for-nothing. You truly are a petty man who becomes arrogant when successful. Relying on a woman, what kind of ability is that? Don't think I'm truly afraid of her!"
Wei Liuping roared, his anger burning.
"Noisy! My master wants you dead, so you should obediently accept your fate."
Pei Nanwei's delicate face turned icy.
The ancient sword in her hand suddenly slashed out.
Instantly, an incomparably wide stream of sword qi spread out.
Wei Liuping's expression changed drastically.
He knew very well how terrifying this woman Pei Nanwei was!
Even though his cultivation was a minor realm higher than Pei Nanwei's, if they were to truly fight, he wouldn't have the slightest chance of winning.
At that moment,
Time seemed to stand still.
Only that terrifying stream of sword qi continued to spread.
Wherever it passed,
Whether it was the sturdy tables and chairs made of thousand-year-old spirit wood, or the candlesticks cast from rare precious metals, everything shattered silently.
Wei Liuping faced a formidable enemy.
A terrifying black flame furnace seemed to erupt within his body, his bloodline surged, emitting rumbling sounds.
His aura instantly rose by a notch.
He was actually faintly approaching the true Tian Yuan realm, breaking through the limits of the quasi-Tian Yuan realm.
He suddenly clasped his hands together.
Using his hands as blades, he slashed downwards forcefully.
A terrifying stream of black blade qi then tore through the air.
However, the moment this powerful saber strike collided with Pei Nanwei's sword,
This saber strike, which was infinitely close to the Tian Yuan realm, was effortlessly torn apart by the sword qi.
Wei Liuping's eyes widened in horror.
He had always known Pei Nanwei was strong.
But he had never imagined Pei Nanwei was so powerful.
Her mastery of the sword was truly monstrous.
Without the slightest hesitation,
Wei Liuping turned and fled.
However, that vast sword qi was as fast as lightning.
In an instant, it caught up to Wei Liuping.
Crack, crack.
Wei Liuping's martial qi defense was instantly torn apart.
Beneath the sword qi, it was as fragile as a large bubble.
But in the next moment,
A jade pendant the size of a baby's palm on Wei Liuping's body suddenly exploded, transforming into five layers of light screens that protected him.
As a direct descendant of the Wei family, he was naturally not lacking in defensive spiritual artifacts.
Do not underestimate this jade pendant.
This was a good item of Xuan grade.
Once the five light screens were activated, they could completely withstand a single strike from a Tian Yuan realm expert.
Wei Liuping felt slightly at ease.
He was fortunate that he had inexplicably brought this life-saving spiritual artifact with him today.
He usually disdained to wear it in the royal city.
Because in his opinion, who in the royal city would dare to attack him, the young master of the Wei family?
But his joy was short-lived.
Those five light screens only managed to resist the sword qi for a very short time.
Soon, cracking sounds were heard.
The outermost light screen exploded.
Following that...
The remaining four light screens also shattered in succession.
Wei Liuping's eyes widened in horror.
This was a treasure that could even defend against a Tian Yuan realm expert's strike, yet it was broken by Pei Nanwei. Was she truly this strong!
"Wait, don't, don't kill me! If you kill me, the Wei family will never let this go..."
Wei Liuping cried out in extreme terror.
However, there was no expression on Pei Nanwei's exquisite and charming pink face.
The sword light instantly fell upon Wei Liuping.
Bang!
After an explosion,
The esteemed young master of the Mo Wu Wei family, Wei Liuping, vanished from this world.
Not a trace remained.
Only the blood splattered everywhere and the shattered bones and flesh proved that Wei Liuping had once existed...
At that moment,
The entire scene fell into dead silence.
Everyone stood frozen like statues.
Jiang Yong, Song Yuhang, Li Chenyang, and the others trembled, so terrified they could barely stand.
That was Wei Liuping!
His status and position were so noble, only slightly inferior to the princes and royalty of the Liuyun royal family.
He could be considered a true imperial noble!
Yet, because of a single word from Ling Fan, he was directly killed by Pei Nanwei!
"Madness... madness... this good-for-nothing is mad, and Pei Nanwei is also mad, the entire world has gone mad!"
Song Yuhang, Li Chenyang, and the other geniuses roared inwardly.
As for Jin Yuyao, she covered her mouth with her hand in disbelief.
Her beautiful eyes widened,
As if she no longer recognized him, she stared fixedly at Ling Fan.
