After finishing everything, Li Guanqi turned and disappeared into the wind and snow.

Not long after, the forest echoed with the roars of bears.

He knew he had been too impulsive this time.

But all his rationality had crumbled in the face of Yu Sui’an’s repeated cries of “Little Blind, it hurts.”

Yu Sui’an’s childhood was just as bitter as his.

But now, she lived happily every day because she was easily content.

Moreover, the entire Great Xia Sword Sect treated her like a treasure.

Although she sometimes caused trouble outside, it was never really her fault.

This time was no different. When her beloved steamed bun was thrown away for the first time, she didn’t say a word.

The second time, a disciple from the Purple Sun Hall not only stopped her but also hit her.

Yet, when she returned to her place, she acted as if nothing had happened, tugging at her face and saying she was heartbroken over the bun falling to the ground.

Li Guanqi didn’t know that the little girl cried her heart out while applying medicine to herself alone on the bed.

Because Yu Sui’an didn’t want to worry the elders.

She cared for Li Guanqi and felt guilty for a long time about the previous conflict with the Purple Sun Hall.

So she forced herself to smile through the pain, saying she was fine.

But this time, she had merely murmured a word in his defense.

He didn’t understand why these people were so arrogant.

Just because the little girl said a word in his defense, she was subjected to such abuse.

Li Guanqi took a deep breath; he did not regret his decision.

He didn’t know when it started, but the little girl who had secretly touched the sword box at his door and got her ribs broken had become like a sister to him.

Maybe it was her unfortunate childhood that made him feel they were similar and wanted to protect her.

Or maybe it was because every time she saw him, she would smile and jump on him, pulling out a steamed bun from her pocket to give him.

Or perhaps… it was that rainy afternoon when she leaned on him and fell asleep peacefully, murmuring “Little Blind” in her sleep.

With cold eyes, the young man slowly vanished into the vast snow.

This mountain range stretched for hundreds of miles, with a complex terrain that even Elemental Infant Realm cultivators would find hard to navigate.

The pervasive wind and snow further hindered the spread of Divine Sense.

Flying through the air, Li Guanqi suppressed his aura completely, but the Primordial Energy within him was surging restlessly!

As he flew away, Li Guanqi began to search for the last few people!

Since he had decided to act, he would not leave any survivors!

Swish!!

Relying on his Divine Sense and sensing the changes in the wind and snow, Li Guanqi quickly discerned the direction from the broken tree branches.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before he saw two figures heading out of the mountains.

But the Floating Ghost Mountain Range was vast, stretching for hundreds of miles without end, one of the three major mountain ranges in the Northern Region.

Their group had been in the forest for several hours and had no idea where they were, making it difficult to find a way out.

Seeing the two figures, the young man took off his outer garment, revealing a white inner lining that blended perfectly with the surroundings.

In the vast wind and snow, if one didn’t look closely, they wouldn’t see his figure at all.

Using the Cloud-Walking Technique, the young man’s figure moved like a snowflake in the wind, silently approaching the two!

Li Guanqi’s cold eyes locked onto the two figures from behind.

All his movements were silent. When he was just a few feet behind them, the slightly chubby young man beside Li Hua finally sensed something, the chill on his back making his hair stand on end!

Swish!

When he turned around, he saw nothing but the vast wind and snow.

Suddenly!!

Relying purely on instinct, he raised his hand, channeling all his Primordial Energy to swing his sword with all his might!!

Clang!!

Bang!!

With just one strike, his magical longsword broke abruptly, and a cold gleam flashed past his eye.

The left hand that had been hidden in his sleeve suddenly punched out!

Clang!!

It turned out his left hand was wearing a pair of glowing brass knuckles.

This punch sent Li Guanqi flying several feet away!

But this strike shattered all the fingers on the young man’s left hand, showing the immense power of Li Guanqi’s sword!

The young man’s face changed drastically. Enduring the intense pain from his left hand, he grabbed Li Hua and retreated swiftly!

Li Hua’s face turned pale instantly. If that sword had been aimed at him, he would have been dead.

The young man, named Yang Dinghai, was also very powerful, and the brass knuckles in his hand were his Spirit Ruin spirit soul!

With a cold and murderous expression, Yang Dinghai said in a deep voice, “Li Guanqi!! Do you really want to exterminate us?!”

Li Guanqi frowned, making his eyes look even more ruthless.

“Exterminate you? That depends on what you did back then!!!”

Boom!!

The Primordial Energy around Yang Dinghai began to surge violently, slowing the falling snowflakes around him.

Rumble!!

Gray clouds appeared in the sky, with tiny arcs of purple lightning leaping out from them.

Yang Dinghai shouted coldly, “Don’t force me to break through!!”

But even so, the killing intent in Li Guanqi’s eyes did not fade!

He moved swiftly, closing the distance!

In an instant, his sword light rained down like a storm. Yang Dinghai, who had discarded his sword and put on his brass knuckles, understood his opponent’s determination.

Even if Li Guanqi didn’t kill him now, he wouldn’t survive once the elders from the Purple Sun Hall arrived.

With a resolve to die, Yang Dinghai’s Primordial Energy surged as he began to break through to the Golden Elixir Realm!!

As his Primordial Energy compressed, his punching speed increased.

But in just three breaths, all ten of his fingers were broken.

Li Guanqi’s sword was too heavy!

Just as his Primordial Energy began to compress from liquid form, a blinding sword light flashed before his eyes!!

The sword light, wrapped in eerie purple lightning, was as swift as lightning!

But in his eyes, the sword’s trajectory was elusive, aiming at Li Hua beside him!

Yang Dinghai didn’t have time to think and instinctively raised his hand to block the sword.

Suddenly!!

A tremendous force came from his side!!

Yang Dinghai could only watch as he was pushed towards the sword blade!

Turning his head, Yang Dinghai saw the terrified look in Li Hua’s eyes, and hatred filled his heart.

“Li Hua!! Damn you!!”

Splurt!!

As his grip shattered, Yang Dinghai raised his left hand to block desperately, but the sword pierced through!!

A longsword stabbed deeply into his chest.

The brewing Golden Elixir tribulation in the sky slowly dissipated, and Yang Dinghai’s eyes gradually dimmed.

Swish!!

Li Guanqi twisted his wrist, his left hand forcefully pressing on the sword hilt, making the longsword cut horizontally!!

The Cang Lang Sword shimmered with scales-like ripples, carrying an unstoppable force as it slashed towards Li Hua!!

Just as the longsword was about to cut into Li Hua’s waist.

Suddenly!!

A golden sword light shot from behind Li Guanqi’s head!
