<h4>Chapter 83 - Chopping</h4>


    Tian Qisha’s eyes zed with fury as he watched many of the Tian n’s disciples die. Many of them were his nephews or rted to him, but he could only watch as Liu Wuxie ughtered them. Their blood flowed out, forming a river that stained the white snow red and melted it with its warmth. This created a crimson stream that flowed along the walls on either side.


    The strong stench of blood assaulted everyone’s nostrils, causing them to tremble with fear and almost faint.


    This scene left Wan Rongzhe speechless as his son was amongst the dead. Seeing his son beheaded by Liu Wuxie caused his mind to go nk. He even forgot to be furious and even breathe. But when Wan Rongzhe came to his senses, he couldn’t describe his current emotions, and he could only use vicious words to express his anger as his hair fluttered by the outburst of aura he released. “Liu Wuxie, I’ll tear you into pieces!”


    Wan Rongzhe’s veins bulged as he radiated a terrifying aura of murderous intent, spreading throughout the entire street. As he approached, his aura intensified, causing the corpses on the ground to be flung away.


    The experts of the Wan n followed closely behind him, their eyes fixed on Liu Wuxie as if they wanted to devour him alive. Tian Qisha and the Tian n also moved in, surrounding Liu Wuxie from the other side to prevent him from escaping.


    “You bastard! I swear that I’ll kill you today!” Tian Qisha’s voice rose with each word.


    Xu Yilin watched with horror, as Liu Wuxie’s strength had increased greatly over the past ten days. Xue Yang was also taken aback and realized that Liu Wuxie posed a threat that needed to be eliminated before he could grow any stronger.


    “Kill me?” A devilish smile rose on Liu Wuxie’s lips. He mocked, “You trash want my life?”


    More than a thousand people surrounded him, and a great battle seemed inevitable. This made Xu Yilin nervous, fearing that something might happen to Liu Wuxie. If Liu Wuxie died, how would he exin it to Big Brother Liu when he returned?


    “All of you, kill him together!” Xue Yang ordered the three Xue n’s members nearby. He felt that the Tian and Wan ns alone would not be able to defeat Liu Wuxie and that the Xue n needed to get involved as well.


    “Understood!” The three members of the Xue n stepped forward and joined the battle. With five experts at the pinnacle of the Spirit Cleansing Realm now fighting against him, what chance did Liu Wuxie have?


    The entire Azure Billow City was enveloped in murderous intent, and everyone could smell the pungent stench of blood, even from ten miles away.


    “I fear that the power dynamics in Azure Billow City will be forever changed after today!” Voices could be heard discussing the situation from a distance as more people gathered, but they kept their distance, not wanting to get caught up in the chaos.


    “I’m betting on the Tian n. They’ve been nning for this for a long time and have even formed an alliance with the Xue n from the Imperial Capital. The Xu n is in trouble now.” Many people were throwing their support behind the Tian and Wan ns.


    The Xu n was a newly risen aristocrat whose foundation was inferior to the Tian and Wan ns. With the support of the City Lord Mansion and the Xue n, the Tian and Wan ns were like tigers with wings attached to them. There was a huge difference regardless of overallbat strength or the number of experts.


    “Don’t be so sure about that. Didn’t you just see Liu Wuxie killing two hundred disciples by himself?” Some supported the Xu n, but there weren’t many.


    After decades of fighting in the shadows, the oue would finally be decided today.


    Liu Wuxie scanned his surroundings, knowing that this was only the beginning of the real massacre. As he raised his de towards the sky, his aura grew even stronger. Though his cultivation was only at the fourth level of the Xiantian Realm, thanks to the deste true essence, his aura wasparable to that of someone at the pinnacle of the Spirit Cleansing Realm.


    Furthermore, Liu Wuxie’s physique had been transformed by the mysterious liquid produced by the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron, allowing him to surpass others at the same level of cultivation. When his de intent descended, it brought with it a suffocating and destructive pressure that threatened to drive everyone mad.


    “de intent! He’s using de intent!” someone eximed from the crowd. Those who couldprehend sword intent were considered geniuses, but those who couldprehend de intent were on a whole other level.


    Tian Qisha’s face twisted in difort as he sensed Liu Wuxie’s de intent. Even he felt uneasy facing it, as if he were being stared down by a ferocious beast, causing his body to stiffen. This was the true power of de intent.


    But the ordinary disciples simply looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what de intent was.


    “Quick, kill before he can gather his strength!” Wang Rongzhe roared, and the experts of the Wan n charged forward. The elders, all in thete phase of the Xiantian Realm, surged forward like a tidal wave, causing the ground to shake and the bs to fly. The Tian n followed closely behind, and with more than a thousand people attacking at once; even an expert in the Marrow Cleansing Realm would not dare to face them head-on.


    The attacks converged on Liu Wuxie like a steel hurricane, threatening to engulf him if he wasn’t careful.


    As their weapons descended upon Liu Wuxie, the attacks of the Wan and Tian ns reached their peak, fueled by their anger and desire to take Liu Wuxie’s life with a single blow.


    The sound of their attacks was deafening, and the ground where Liu Wuxie stood was heavily damaged. Even an expert in the Marrow Cleansing Realm would have been killed by such a barrage of attacks.


    “Wuxie!” Xu Yilin roared and was on the verge of bursting into tears.


    The guards of the Xu n also had tears rolling down their cheeks. They had witnessed Liu Wuxie’s performance for the past year, and they all considered him to be the pir of the Xu n.


    Tian Qishaughed heartily, confident that no one could survive such a barrage of attacks. He was certain that Liu Wuxie was dead, his body torn apart.


    A terrifying shockwave swept outwards, nearly blowing apart the gates of the Xu n even from several hundred meters away.


    “Is that brat dead?” Wan Butong asked, still shaken by the fear that Liu Wuxie had instilled in him. If Liu Wuxie were still alive, Wan Butong would never be able to hold his head up again, having been humiliated by him in the colosseum.


    “Hmph, I’ll call him my grandfather if he’s not dead after taking all those attacks!” sneered a disciple of the Wan n. As the dust settled, all that remained was a huge crater. There was no sign of Liu Wuxie’s body.


    “Did you ask if I’m willing to have you as my grandson?” A sh of de light cut through the air, impossible to avoid as everyone was packed tightly together. The Wan n disciple who had spoken earlier was struck head-on, and it was toote for him to flee as the de reached him.


    “ARGH! I DON’T WANT TO DIE!” he screamed as he was sliced in half at the waist. His body fell to the ground, still clinging to life.


    But this was only the beginning. de light bloomed throughout the crowd as Liu Wuxie moved like a killing machine, leaving a trail of blood in his wake.


    “Dammit! Quick, defend!” Wan Rongzhe cried out in panic. Despite their numerous attacks seeminglynding on Liu Wuxie, he couldn’t understand how they had all missed and how Liu Wuxie had managed to dodge them before appearing in the crowd. It was a mystery!


    No one, not even the experts in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, knew the answer to that mystery. They also couldn’t see clearly how Liu Wuxie disappeared.


    As Liu Wuxie’s rampage continued, more bodies fell to the ground. He moved with the Seven Dipper Steps, leaving behind afterimages that no one could keep up with.


    “Quick, restrain him!” Tian Qisha was on the verge of going insane. He charged forward, but every time he made a move, Liu Wuxie would mysteriously disappear, like a cat toying with a mouse. Liu Wuxie wasn’t ready to fight the five Spirit Cleansing Realms yet and wanted to instill fear in them first.


    A Wan n’s disciple suddenly threw his weapon away, yelling, “I don’t want to fight anymore! I want to go home!”


    But it was already toote as the ruthless de descended on him. As the number of corpses on the ground increased, they didn’t take long to pile up.


    “Fight back! Fight back!” Wan Rongzhe roared. His heart was bleeding as he watched the Wan n’s disciples and elders fall.


    The two ns had been established in Azure Billow City for over a hundred years, growing to their current size. But with so many deaths, even if they survived this day, their ns would be greatly weakened. They were too slow to keep up with Liu Wuxie’s Seven Dipper Steps, not even those in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, let alone those in the Houtian and Xiantian Realms.


    Liu Wuxie looked like he was chopping vegetables as he swung his de, taking multiple lives as he weaved through the crowd.


    “Liu Wuxie, I curse you a terrible death!” A Tian n’s elder charged forward after witnessing Liu Wuxie behead his son.


    “Hmph! A bunch of scraps!” Liu Wuxie continued to swing his de, and as the elder drew near, he froze, and his head was sent flying. As the elder’s head soared into the sky, blood and brain matter sttered everywhere, his eyes popping out of their sockets.


    The shop owners gathered far away were so shocked that their mouths were wide open. As the two eyeballs flew towards them, two of the shopkeepers instinctively swallowed, their stomachs churning as they vomited.


    Those who had been mocking Liu Wuxie earlier had received their just desserts. After all, it was too much of a coincidence that the two eyeballs hadnded in their mouths right after they had ridiculed Liu Wuxie.


    The battlefield was a scene of carnage. What had once been a crowd of over a thousand had been decimated in the blink of an eye. Those who remained were fleeing with no intention of continuing the fight. They didn’t want to die there.


    Liu Wuxie was a force to be reckoned with. They couldn’t match his speed and were being ughtered like livestock.


    “Break through!” Xu Yishan ordered, leading the Xu n’s guards in a charge. Those who were fleeing were ordinary people, as Liu Wuxie had already killed all the cultivators in the Xiantian Realm. The remaining ones were in the Houtian Realm.


    The deacons of the Xu n, all in the Xiantian Realm, had been holding back for a long time. Seeing an opportunity, they didn’t hesitate to charge forward. If they didn’t act now, Liu Wuxie might ughter all the members of the Tian and Wan ns on his own.


    With their escape route blocked, another battle ensued. Only a few hundred people were left, and they were being ughtered by the guards led by Xu Yishan.


    Tian Qisha could only watch helplessly as his n’s disciples fell one by one. He could only vent his anger on Liu Wuxie, as he was the cause of all this chaos.


    As everyone else fell, only the five experts in the Spirit Cleansing Realm remained, their eyes bloodshot with rage.
