At this moment, Xie Qidao, the head of the Xie family, was leading a group of Xie family elites, slowly advancing along the edge of the house.
Their purpose in infiltrating Snowmoon City this time was to assassinate Celestial Immortal.
This kind of mission is extremely dangerous, even for Dark River.
Even Xie Qidao dared not be careless, holding his breath and carefully observing his surroundings.
Suddenly, a sense of foreboding washed over him, and he exclaimed, "Oh no!"
Just as Xie Qidao became alert, all the lanterns on the street lit up.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of Snowmoon City guards came from both sides and surrounded the Xie family.
"Our operation was discovered?"
Xie Qidao was increasingly shocked. He looked around and suddenly looked up.
A figure dressed in pure white stood in mid-air, with a divine weapon as blue as water hanging at his waist.
His extraordinary demeanor, coupled with divine weapons, made him seem like a sword immortal descended from heaven. Even in the mundane world, he could not conceal his immortal aura.
"You are the Celestial Immortal?"
Xie Qidao mobilized his internal energy and shouted a question.
Now that he had been exposed, he no longer bothered to hide it, and believed he had a chance of winning even in a direct confrontation.
After all, according to the Dark River's intelligence, none of the three city lords of Snow Moon City were in the city.
As he finished speaking, the martial arts practitioners in the surrounding restaurants were also awakened and opened their windows to watch.
Su Chen stood in mid-air, his eyes cold, and said indifferently:
"Xie Qidao, the patriarch of the Xie family, one of the three major families of the Dark River, has reached the upper level of the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm in cultivation."
"Skilled in internal energy cultivation, fist techniques, and swordsmanship, he is the only veteran who survived the internal strife in the Dark River seven years ago."
"Because he could only unleash a maximum of seven strikes when using the 'Concealing Power' technique, he was known as Xie the Seven-Swordsman, and in the martial arts world, he was called 'The Soul-Taking Ghost'."
Su Chen's words echoed in the air, recounting all the information about Xie Qidao.
All the heroes of the martial arts world showed expressions of shock.
Although they already knew Su Chen was powerful, they were still taken aback by his ability to foresee danger and accurately identify and assess the enemy's strength.
Xie Qidao, in particular, turned pale as he realized how foolish he had been.
Su Chen's voice continued:
"You are destined to suffer many calamities, but you should not die by my hand."
"The secrets of heaven are ever-changing and unpredictable; a single move can affect the whole situation."
"Since I've altered the heavenly secrets, I have to take responsibility for cleaning up the mess."
"Patriarch Xie, please accept my head."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Dragon Slayer Sword was drawn from its sheath.
The dragon patterns on the sword seemed to come alive, radiating a terrifying dragon's might.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Temple summons divine thunder, its heavenly might overwhelming, guided by the sword!
Su Chen continuously channeled his inner energy into the sword, and with a single stroke, he cleaved through the sky, causing the heavens and earth to roar.
Guided by the sword intent, countless thunderbolts crashed down.
The entire Snowmoon City was as bright as day.
In the thick darkness, countless bolts of lightning as thick as a wrist descended from the sky and crashed into Snowmoon City.
The once smooth and wide street was instantly turned into scorched earth.
All the Dark River assassins, including Xie Qidao, were powerless to resist and were instantly reduced to ashes by lightning.
Although the battle ended quickly, none of the martial arts practitioners around moved.
They were still basking in the glory of that sword strike.
Zuixianlou, Room No. 7 (Heavenly Character).
Xu Fengnian stared wide-eyed and said, "Old Huang, why do I feel that the Heavenly Mystery Immortal's sword strike is much stronger than the last one?"
Old Huang grinned and said, "Young Master has a good eye. The power of this sword has probably increased by more than one level."
"Then guess what level of cultivation the Celestial Immortal possesses?" Xu Fengnian asked curiously.
"A terrestrial immortal," Old Huang said earnestly.
"What? The Celestial Immortal has actually reached the realm of a terrestrial immortal? He looks about our age!" Xu Fengnian exclaimed in disbelief.
"I'm not entirely sure, but even if he's not a terrestrial deity, he's not far off."
Old Huang rarely showed a serious expression.
Xu Fengnian sneered: "Old Huang, do you dare say you're not a master?"
This time, Old Huang didn't refute. Instead, he smiled and said, "Young master, after seeing such amazing swordsmanship, do you have any thoughts of learning martial arts? Take my advice: learning martial arts won't hurt you, and you won't be fooled."
Normally, Xu Fengnian would have refused outright.
But this time he didn't speak for a moment, and after a long while he said, "Let's talk about it in a few days."
Tianxiang Restaurant, Room 2 (Di Zi).
Minghou and Yueji stood side by side, gazing at the scorched earth, their expressions solemn.
Seven days ago, they had done something similar, so they empathized with the fate of Xie Qidao and the others.
"Xie Qidao, as the head of the Xie family of the Dark River Organization and a master of the upper level of the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, is actually so fragile."
Just how terrifying is the power of this Celestial Immortal?
Tsukihime still felt a lingering fear.
Even when she and the Underworld Lord joined forces, they could only barely contend with those who had just entered the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Realm.
However, the fact that a master like Xie Qidao, a master of the Free and Unfettered Realm, was reduced to nothing by Su Chen's sword was a huge shock to her.
Although Minghou remained outwardly calm, large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead as he whispered, "Our lives were all given to us by the Celestial Mystery Immortal."
Room number six in Baihualou.
The four people sat around the table, each with a different expression.
If there were any worldly experts in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty present, they would recognize their identities at a glance.
They were the infamous Four Evils of the Song Dynasty.
They were respectively described as wicked, utterly evil, ferocious, and extremely vicious.
Even such a ruthless person felt a sense of fear rising from the bottom of his heart after seeing Su Chen's powerful sword strike.
Sitting on the west side, Yue Laosan slammed his hand on the table and said loudly, "Brother is indeed wise. Fortunately, we didn't rashly go to find the Celestial Mystery Immortal, or we would have been dead long ago."
Ye Erniang snorted coldly: "You, Yue Laosan, are shouting that you want to use force to force the Celestial Mystery Immortal to tell your fortune. Don't you think that since he has set the rules, why would he be afraid of you?"
"Brother, can you tell just how powerful the Celestial Mystery Immortal really is?"
Yun Zhonghe looked at Duan Yanqing, who was sitting in the main seat, and asked.
Yue Laosan and Ye Erniang also looked at Duan Yanqing.
In their minds, Duan Yanqing was already an invincible master.
But Su Chen's sword strike was like a god descending to earth, instantly killing a master who was even stronger than Duan Yanqing.
This terrifying power made their souls tremble, and they wanted to know exactly what level the other party had reached.
Duan Yanqing squinted, and although he didn't speak, his voice echoed in the room:
"Based on my observation, the Heavenly Mystery Immortal's cultivation level is at least at the Divine Travel Realm, and may even have reached the Land Immortal Realm."
Upon hearing this, the other three gasped in shock.
"Goodness, Snowmoon City is terrifying."
"Not only is there Dugu Qiubai, who is at the level of a terrestrial immortal, but there is also Tianji Xianren, who has almost reached the level of a terrestrial immortal."
Yue Laosan was so frightened that he shook his head.
Yun Zhonghe asked, "So, does Brother plan to participate in the next Silver Heavenly Secret Token?"
"What's the rush? Think it through before you act!"
"As long as no powerful cultivators like Yaoyue or Ximen Chuixue emerge, the Silver Heavenly Secret Token will be ours for the taking."
Duan Yanqing looked confident.
Time flies, and another day has passed in the blink of an eye.
The world of martial arts in the Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan, Jiang Biehe Mansion.
Yaoyue, Lianxing, and the others traveled through the night and finally arrived at this place.
"The news hasn't been leaked, has it?"
Seeing that everything seemed normal outside Jiang Biehe's residence, Yaoyue asked cautiously.
Lianxing replied, "No one knows our destination this time except Wuque, so there shouldn't be any problem."
Yaoyue nodded and said coldly, "Wuque, take your men in. If they resist, kill them without mercy."
Dressed in white, Hua Wuque coldly accepted the order and leaped directly into Jiang Biehe's residence.
Soon after, the sounds of fierce fighting came from inside.
Yaoyue and Lianxing waited for a while before slowly walking into the main courtyard.
Jiang Biehe and a group of Jiang family servants were kneeling on the ground, being escorted by people from Yihua Palace.
Many Jiang family guards who died resisting were also lying around.
Upon seeing Yaoyue enter, a heavily made-up woman beside Jiang Biehe immediately began to shout:
"Let me go! My father is Liu Xi, the Grand Supervisor of the Eastern Depot!"
"If my father finds out you dare treat me like this, he will tear you to pieces!"
