"What do you want? Don't come any closer! I am Shen Huan, the sole heir of the Saint Family Shen. If you lay a hand on me, the Shen family will not let you off!"
Shen Huan watched Li Beifei approach him, retreating in fear. The three Nirvana Realm cultivators his family had arranged were all instantly killed by Li Beifei. He was merely a Life and Death Realm cultivator; how could he possibly be Li Beifei's match?
The people from other forces had already scattered and were trying to flee, but before they could get far, they were pinned in the void by sword energy, utterly dead.
When Li Beifei swung his sword at Shen Huan, a shield appeared around Shen Huan, blocking his sword.
"Hmm?" Li Beifei was taken aback, but then understood. After all, Shen Huan was the heir of the Shen family; even if he was a useless playboy, he would surely have some life-saving treasures.
Seeing that Li Beifei's attack was blocked by the shield emitted from his treasure armor, the panic on Shen Huan's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of excitement.
"Boy, so what if you can kill Nirvana Realm cultivators? My treasure armor can withstand attacks from Transcendent Realm cultivators!"
Shen Huan's face was filled with disdain for Li Beifei. He didn't believe Li Beifei could break through the defense of his treasure armor.
"This is troublesome!" Li Beifei looked at Shen Huan, protected by the shield. He originally wanted to hide his strength, but if he didn't reveal his true power now, he clearly wouldn't be able to break through this shield. He didn't want to let Shen Huan go; enemies should be exterminated!
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared above, attracting Li Beifei's attention.
"Damn it, so fast!" Li Beifei cursed inwardly. The figure in the high sky exuded a powerful aura. This was a Transcendent Realm expert. As for how far they had progressed in the Transcendent Realm, Li Beifei couldn't sense it.
"Fifth Elder!"
Shen Huan's eyes lit up as he recognized the person in the sky. It was indeed the Fifth Elder of their Shen family, whose cultivation had reached the third level of the Transcendent Realm.
"Fifth Elder, quickly capture him! He has Immortal Gold and a Quasi-Emperor skull!" Shen Huan shouted loudly.
Li Beifei's heart tightened. He was currently only at the eighth level of the Life and Death Realm, two major realms away from the Transcendent Realm. He was confident in defeating ordinary peak ninth-level Nirvana Realm cultivators, but he had to treat the Transcendent Realm, even the first level of the Transcendent Realm, with extreme caution.
Now, facing the unfathomable Fifth Elder of the Shen family, Li Beifei was extremely cautious, but he never considered escaping.
"That old guy is definitely watching from some corner, waiting to see me kill an enemy two major realms above me and make him proud!"
Li Beifei muttered.
"..." Gu Changsheng.
"Hehe..." The White Tiger Demon Emperor chuckled softly. She had a particular fondness for Li Beifei, after all, he called her Aunt Bai. If Gu Changsheng hadn't forbidden it, she would have already taken action to wipe out those forces that wanted to harm Li Beifei.
"You!" Gu Changsheng shook his head helplessly. Why do you have such a high opinion of this kid?
The Shen family's Fifth Elder saw Shen Huan hiding in the shield, and his eyes narrowed.
"Fifth Elder, why haven't you taken action to capture him yet? Hurry up and attack!" Shen Huan shouted loudly, showing no respect for a Transcendent Realm expert. If Li Beifei were this Fifth Elder, he would definitely take the opportunity to kill Shen Huan while no one else was around. As for whether his enemy had seen it, it didn't matter. Could the words of an enemy be trusted?
"Fifth Elder, why haven't you taken action yet?"
Shen Huan continued to shout, but the Shen family's Fifth Elder didn't attack, seemingly contemplating something, his gaze towards Shen Huan containing a strange light.
Li Beifei noticed his gaze and was shocked.
"This guy, doesn't he really want to kill Shen Huan?" The more Li Beifei thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Now that there was no one else present besides him, the Fifth Elder could completely kill Shen Huan and frame him, then the Fifth Elder could kill him, and no one in the world would know about it. As for Gu Changsheng, Li Beifei had already excluded him from the category of 'person'.
As for why the Fifth Elder wanted to kill Shen Huan, the reason was simple: a Saint Family was actually letting a useless playboy be the heir. This was detrimental to the family's development. As for why Shen Huan could become the heir, Li Beifei couldn't know.
"Fifth Elder..."
Shen Huan shouted loudly at the Fifth Elder. At this moment, the Fifth Elder moved, very quickly. Li Beifei only saw a shadow flicker.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound rang out, and the shield around Shen Huan's body shattered. Shen Huan looked at his chest with a puzzled expression. A large hand emitting a blood-red aura had pierced through his body from behind, blood flowing freely. He was very familiar with this blood-red aura; it was the Fifth Elder's famous skill, the Blood Cloud Hand!
"Why?" Even with his heart pierced, a Life and Death Realm cultivator wouldn't die instantly. Although Shen Huan was a playboy, he was also a genuine Life and Death Realm cultivator, so he naturally wouldn't die immediately. He was asking why the Fifth Elder would attack him.
The Fifth Elder looked like a very cold middle-aged man. He said, "For the Shen family to continue to exist!"
After speaking, a powerful aura erupted from the Fifth Elder's body. With a "boom," Shen Huan's body directly exploded into a cloud of blood mist, leaving no trace. The Fifth Elder had obviously destroyed the evidence to prevent others from discovering it.
Next, he even attacked the corpses that Li Beifei had killed, using his powerful force to blast them into blood mist as well. Seeing this, Li Beifei couldn't help but feel a chilling sensation in his heart.
The Shen family's Fifth Elder's methods were too cold and clever. If only Shen Huan had been blasted into blood mist, while the others were merely dismembered by Li Beifei, it would obviously leave a handle. So he directly attacked, not even letting the corpses go, blasting them all into blood mist. This way, even if Li Beifei could escape, he could justifiably blame Shen Huan's death on Li Beifei.
With no witnesses, Li Beifei, the enemy, would naturally be a good scapegoat.
Sure enough, there were too few stupid people like Shen Huan in the cultivation world. Those who could cultivate to success, even if not demonically intelligent, were cunning and treacherous.
"Hand over the Quasi-Emperor skull and Immortal Gold, and I'll leave you with a complete corpse!"
The Fifth Elder said to Li Beifei indifferently, not taking Li Beifei seriously at all.
This was normal. Which Transcendent Realm expert would take a Life and Death Realm expert seriously as an opponent? The Fifth Elder's own cultivation had reached the third level of the Transcendent Realm, while Li Beifei was only at the eighth level of the Life and Death Realm. Not to mention the eighth level of the Life and Death Realm, even the eighth level of the Nirvana Realm, he wouldn't take Li Beifei seriously.
"Ask me to hand over the treasure and still want to kill me? Do you think I'm stupid? Or are you too stupid?"
Li Beifei smiled, his laughter so sarcastic.
"Courting death!" The Fifth Elder's face turned cold, and with a wave of his hand, a giant palm of spiritual power condensed in the air, pressing down on Li Beifei.
Li Beifei's eyes were like lightning as he swung the Tian Shu Sword at the palm of spiritual power, a curved sword energy shooting out.
"Bang!"
The sword energy collided with the palm of spiritual power, and the powerful sword intent instantly tore the palm apart, splitting it in two.
"Hmm?" The Fifth Elder was stunned for a moment. Although he hadn't used his full strength in this palm, it wasn't something that ordinary peak Nirvana Realm cultivators could withstand. But now, it was actually broken by a little guy at the eighth level of the Life and Death Realm.
"Could it be that he's hiding his cultivation?" The Fifth Elder thought to himself.
Li Beifei naturally hadn't hidden his cultivation, he had merely activated the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Immortal Art. The sword just now had been amplified by ten times his own combat power, and coupled with Li Beifei's own strength, he could naturally easily break the palm of spiritual power.
"Tian Shu Sword Domain!"
Just as the Fifth Elder was stunned, Li Beifei directly activated the long-unused Tian Shu Sword Domain, and then, carrying the Tian Shu Sword, he slashed at the Fifth Elder.
"Hmm?"
Enveloped within the Tian Shu Sword Domain, the Fifth Elder felt a powerful force of restraint, not only restraining his physical body, but even the spiritual power within his body and the divine sense in his sea of consciousness were restrained.
"You want to contend with me with this? Wishful thinking!"
The Fifth Elder's cold voice rang out. Immediately afterwards, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from his body, resisting the restraining force of the Tian Shu Sword Domain. He stretched out a blood-red hand, exuding a terrifying bloody aura.
"Blood Cloud Hand!"
The Fifth Elder shouted softly, and a blood-colored handprint shot towards Li Beifei.
"Blood Cloud?" Li Beifei immediately thought of the Blood Cloud Tower that had been destroyed by his master.
"With this name, you won't survive today!" Li Beifei shouted, his sword intent soaring, the Tian Shu Sword revealing its sharpness. At the same time, he activated the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Immortal Art, slashing out a formless and imageless sword energy.
Traceless Sword Technique!
"Boom!"
The traceless sword intent collided with the blood-colored handprint in the air, and the resulting energy ripples spread in all directions. The surrounding mountains couldn't withstand the violent fluctuations and collapsed one after another, with rocks piercing through the air, changing the terrain here.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a blood-colored figure appeared in the high sky. Li Beifei's eyes turned cold. He could smell a strong bloody scent from the blood-colored figure. What kind of divine power had this Fifth Elder cultivated?
"Blood Cloud Great Handprint!"
The blood-colored figure was naturally the Fifth Elder. He shouted loudly, and with a palm falling towards Li Beifei, a blood-colored handprint dozens of times larger than before pressed down on Li Beifei.
Li Beifei's heart shook. At this moment, he actually felt a kind of mental pressure.
"That is..."
At this moment, Li Beifei saw a scalp-numbing scene. The huge blood-colored handprint was actually composed of countless blood-red skulls. The skulls exuded extremely heavy resentment and grief, turning into countless wronged souls, drilling into Li Beifei's sea of consciousness, giving him inexplicable pressure.
"You actually sacrificed so many people to cultivate divine powers?" Li Beifei's voice was cold, his sword intent like an abyss, condensing into a giant sword, resisting the blood-colored handprint.
"They are just some mortal ants. How numerous is my human race? It is their greatest honor to become the nourishment for my cultivation of divine powers."
The Fifth Elder was very cold-blooded, actually regarding the mortals of the same race as ants.
"You deserve to die!"
Li Beifei roared, the Tian Shu Sword emitting a powerful sword intent, slashing towards the Fifth Elder in the sky, but it was easily blocked by the blood-colored handprint.
"You are just a mere eighth level of the Life and Death Realm, do you think you can defy the heavens? Very well, I will quickly suppress you, or else something might change!"
The Fifth Elder whispered. It wasn't just their Shen family who had designs on Li Beifei's treasures, but their Shen family was the first to take action, and the quickest one.
Li Beifei actually nodded and said, "You're right. I originally wanted to suppress you myself, but it seems that's not possible now."
He had the confidence to suppress the Fifth Elder, but that would take some time. But now, he was in a state of being chased and killed for his treasures, and he didn't have that much time to show off his muscles.
Now, he needed to use some unconventional methods.
"Arrogant!"
The Fifth Elder roared, just wanting to use his full strength to suppress Li Beifei, but suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from his butt.
"Woof woof!"
He looked back and only saw a large black dog, as tall as a person when standing up, tearing at his butt.
"Ah..."
Suddenly, the Fifth Elder cried out in pain. The big black dog actually tore off a piece of meat.
"Damn it, so disgusting!"
The big black dog spat out the piece of meat in its mouth.
"You beast, you're courting death!" The Fifth Elder shouted angrily, slapping the big black dog with a palm, but only heard a "bang" sound. The big black dog was only knocked back by the powerful force, but there was no damage to its body.
"Comfortable, where did you learn your massage technique? It's more comfortable than that Xuan Mingzi's fist." The big black dog laughed lewdly.
The Fifth Elder stared at the big black dog in disbelief. Just then, he felt another sharp pain. He looked down and his soul almost flew away. A turtle only the size of two palms was actually biting his crotch.
"Woof woof, you dead turtle, you have such a special hobby." The big black dog mocked from the side.
"Shut up, this is hitting the pain point." Li Wangba scolded, and then also pulled hard.
That scene, that bloodiness, made Gu Changsheng on the cloud cover the White Tiger Demon Emperor's eyes.
"Don't look, you'll get a sty."
"..."
...
"Well done!" Li Beifei shouted, but there was an extra sword in his hand, precisely the second sword, the Tianxuan Sword!
Li Beifei controlled two swords that had already reached the level of holy weapons, and used the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Immortal Art to the extreme that he could withstand—eighteen times, piercing through the Blood Cloud Great Handprint, and then came to the Fifth Elder, and with the cooperation of the big black dog and Li Wangba, pierced through the Fifth Elder's heart with one sword, and pierced through the Fifth Elder's head with one sword.
"You... you..."
The Fifth Elder never expected that he would die in the hands of an eighth level of the Life and Death Realm.
"Wangba, take his storage ring."
Li Beifei said.
"Okay!" Li Wangba responded, directly biting off the Fifth Elder's finger wearing the storage ring, and then taking off the storage ring.
"Boom!"
At this moment, powerful auras came from afar, and more than one!
"Run!"
Li Beifei said, directly sitting on the big black dog, and Li Wangba stood on Li Beifei's shoulder.
"Woof woof, don't forget the benefits you promised me!"
The big black dog called, and then its figure flashed, one step down, it was hundreds of miles, in an instant, it had already escaped thousands of miles.
Shrinking the earth into an inch, as Li Wangba said, is the best choice for killing, robbing, and escaping.
When the pursuers arrived, they had already escaped tens of thousands of miles away.
"This is... the Fifth Elder of the Shen family?"
Three powerful figures landed next to the Fifth Elder's body.
"This is too tragic, right? Even *that* thing is broken!"
Someone's lips twitched.
"Shen Family's Fifth Elder's cultivation has already reached the third level of the Transcendent Realm. Even he fell victim to the other party's scheme. We need to be careful."
"If it doesn't work, we can ask the Holy Land for help."
"That's right, they actually won against us in the Stone Gambling Convention. It's unlikely we'll let them leave so easily."
The three of them spoke one after another, then chased after Li Beifei and the others in the direction they fled. Their speed was also very fast, not at all slower than the big black dog.
...
