Su Yuexi’s body shuddered upon hearing these words, and she took the Thousand Beast Flower Blood Drop with trembling hands, nodding her head with tears streaming down her face.
"The time has come, Yue Xi, it’s time for us to leave," Ye Wukui suddenly descended, speaking still with that kind-hearted tone.
Su Yuexi’s body shook violently as she slowly tucked the "Thousand Beast Flower Blood Drop" into her Jade hairpin, and then she said emphatically, "Brother Jing, I will wait for you in the Central Plains, even if it takes... until the end of time!"
Having said that, she had already been swept up by Ye Wukui, landing atop the Beetle demon beast.
And Ye Wukui, while staring at Sikong Jing, sneered with contempt and then vanished in a flash from atop the beetle, which disappeared like an illusion into the dead of the night.
Sikong Jing stood on the spot, successively encountering Wunian Saint Sect, Blood Refining Ancestor, and Willow Leaf Saint Manor...
The unbearable pain of helplessness could be imagined, and he closed his eyes, then hoarsely said, "Come out, you want to eradicate me, don’t you? Now that Yue Xi has left, you can make your move."
The silence lasted for a moment, then a light chuckle was heard: "Even though you’re a good for nothing, you’re quite aware of your own limitations."
From the darkness, jade green light emerged, and a figure slowly walked out—it was Liu An.
Sikong Jing gazed at him and slowly said, "First Realm of Inquiry, so it turns out that even the disciples of the Willow Leaf Saint Manor from the vast Central Plains are merely this. I had thought that all of you were above the Martial Battle Stage."
He had sensed Liu An’s presence early on and had guessed that Ye Wukui wouldn’t be so kind-hearted.
The latter’s killing intent toward him had never ceased.
It was more overbearing than what Su Yuexi had told him about deceiving him to win something—it was about eradicating him to prevent the repeat of what happened with Grandma Yue Xi, and Sikong Jing had long been prepared for battle.
At the moment Liu An’s aura appeared, he had already judged the other’s realm.
With that statement, the sneer on Liu An’s face stiffened slightly, and he replied flatly, "You know Martial Arts?"
Sikong Jing had always hidden his Martial Arts aura, so even Ye Wukui, without careful observation, thought Sikong Jing was just an ordinary person who didn’t even have martial skills.
As for Liu An, it was even less likely for him to have discovered it.
"Who told you I don’t know Martial Arts?" Sikong Jing asked with a cold laugh.
As he spoke, his True Qi exploded, and the aura of the Extraordinary First Realm burst out.
Then, abruptly, the aura surged upwards and with a resounding boom, it broke through to the extraordinary second realm.
These past days, he had been suppressing his emotions and discontent, and now it transformed into True Qi surging upwards.
There was also the understanding from the last time he became demonized, and on top of that, he researched more of the meridians of the Absolute Night Wolf King with his sister Sikong Ling during their journey together. All that experience erupted wildly at this moment.
The breakthrough did not stop at the Extraordinary Second Realm but continued until soaring into the Extraordinary Third Realm, where it finally settled.
The sudden departure sparked a boundless battle intent and boiling killing intent within Sikong Jing.
Liu An across from him was completely stunned, staring at Sikong Jing with disbelief, "Extraordinary Third Realm, consecutive breakthroughs, and even managing to conceal your aura from us... You’re quite capable, aren’t you?"
After a pause, Liu An’s laugh became scornful again as he said, "But this makes it interesting; otherwise, eradicating a piece of trash who doesn’t even know Martial Arts would be truly boring... Regardless, you are still a good for nothing."
With that, Liu An burst into jade light, with tendrils of liana surging out like whips toward Sikong Jing.
His techniques were bizarre to the extreme, and also immensely powerful...
This was a method that Sikong Jing had never seen before in the East Plain Northern Land, and moreover, the opponent’s body released the aura of a War Body, a force that seemed to drown the average Martial Artist, pressing down on him.
The whip-like willow branches struck all around Sikong Jing, then deliberately circled and hovered around him, with Liu An laughing, "Come on, you good for nothing, let’s have some fun, try to see if you can escape my willow branches."
The tone was frivolous, Sikong Jing was simply not regarded seriously at all.
He was always so arrogant, and he didn’t think there was anything wrong with underestimation.
First of all, this was the desert-like East Plain Northern Land, where both Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques were incomparable to those of the Central Plains.
Secondly, he had a War Body, which allowed him to disdain martial artists of the same grade, let alone the fact that Sikong Jing’s realm was even weaker than his.
In his eyes, erasing Sikong Jing was just a trivial game.
Sikong Jing stared emotionlessly outside at the willows of Liu An, and with a flicker in his hand, he now held a sword—a Jade Green longsword, which was a Middle-level Universe Grade sword.
It was the sword he had chosen from Su Yuexi’s Jade hairpin, named: Mo Su!
Previously, Sikong Jing didn’t know why the sword was named Mo Su, but now he understood—it must have been a sword used by Su Old Demon.
Because the Jade Green sword in Su Yuexi’s hand was called Bi Ye.
Mo Su and Bi Ye, they were a pair, as if witnessing the love between Yue Xi’s grandparents.
The Mo Su Sword, in Sikong Jing’s hands, burst forth with a humming sound of continuous light buzzing.
The next moment, Sikong Jing softly said, "Beast Skill: Dark Wing Black Burning Sword."
The Jade Green sword ignited into pitch-black sword light; it was still the Dark Wing Black Burning Sword.
But at this moment, it was stronger than before. As he understood more meridians of the Dark Winged Dragon Eagle, its power had reached the Universe Grade.
The Black Burning Sword, like the wings of the Dark Winged Dragon Eagle, split into multiple sword wings, swiftly slicing through the surrounding willow branches.
Seeing this, Liu An was stunned again, then laughed and said, "Not bad at all. No wonder you could marry a Sixth Grade Battle Body. Unfortunately, you didn’t know what a Battle Body really was at the time... I’ll let you experience it now."
As he finished speaking, his Second Grade Battle Body aura erupted completely, fiercely pressing towards Sikong Jing.
Under the oppressive might of a Battle Body, ordinary martial artists couldn’t even move, and he intended to show Sikong Jing what reality was, because he had also felt humiliated just now by the claim that he did not deserve to be with Su Yuexi!
And yet, the waste in front of him had once possessed what he wanted, which greatly annoyed Liu An.
Seeing Sikong Jing stop, Liu An asked again, "How is it, do you feel fear and helplessness now?"
"Just like when you faced my Willow Leaf Saint Manor just now, powerless, right?"
As he said this, Liu An revealed a mocking smile.
He enjoyed watching ordinary martial artists feel helpless in front of a Battle Body.
However, in the very next moment, his narrowed eyes suddenly widened, as Sikong Jing disappeared from sight.
Caught off guard and unprepared, a heavy slapping sound echoed by his ear and Liu An was violently thrown out before falling again. Then he covered his burning face and said, "You trash, it’s impossible..."
His face had been slapped. The trash who should have been immobilized by the Battle Body’s might had actually slapped his own face.
At that moment, Sikong Jing reappeared where Liu An had just stood, speaking indifferently, "You are merely basking in the glory of the Willow Leaf Saint Manor. Just because the Willow Leaf Saint Manor is powerful doesn’t mean you are powerful."
As soon as the words fell, Sikong Jing raised his sword again and attacked. It was still the Dark Wing Black Burning Sword.
