In fact, what Ye Xiruo didn't tell Tie Sheng was that the tendons in his right hand were shattered, and because he didn't receive timely treatment, the tendons in his right arm had all died. This was an injury that neither Qingyang True Qi nor Xiao Huan Dan could restore.

However, recalling her first impression of Tie Sheng, Ye Xiruo decided to keep the news a secret for the time being. For a martial artist and cultivator, it was indeed true that if one of his meridians was blocked, he might not be able to practice swordsmanship in the future. Ye Xiruo couldn't bear to tell Tie Sheng about this cruel reality.

Liu Tiesheng's right arm hung limply at his side, and his left hand holding the sword trembled slightly, but his expression was frighteningly calm.

To those lying on the ground, Liu Tiesheng's not-so-strong body now looked like a giant demon, approaching them step by step.

Previously, Liu Tiesheng was nothing more than a pitiful ant in their eyes. If it weren't for their young master's desire to spare his life and continue to torment him, they probably would have killed him long ago. For the past six months, every time they saw Liu Tiesheng lying on the bed, emaciated and glaring at them with intense hatred and murderous intent, yet forced to endure their repeated insults, his eyes eventually became numb.

However, they really didn't expect that Liu Tiesheng had such a powerful expert behind him who could control so many flying swords at the same time. They were all at least Golden Core stage seniors. In a Yellow-level power, a Golden Core stage expert could occupy a peak, become an elder, and take on disciples.

Liu Tiesheng was nothing more than a mere Qi Refining Level 4 ant, and at least if an outer disciple of Luoxia Valley had disappeared or died outside that day, no one would have noticed.

Why did this happen? If Liu Tiesheng had powerful backers, why didn't he say so sooner? Their son might still have a chance to escape, but they were definitely doomed today. They sensed a strong killing intent emanating from Liu Tiesheng, and deep within his eyes was a deep-seated hatred.

“Brother Liu, no, Uncle Liu, we were all forced into it.”

“Your son is licentious, despicable, and shameless. He has kidnapped my eighty-year-old mother, and I have no choice but to work for him. I was forced into this situation. I am willing to leave one arm as atonement. Please spare my life. Or, if you kill me, you can rescue my mother. Thank you.” After saying this, he kowtowed three times.

“My fiancée was forcibly taken by your son. I followed him only to seek revenge. It was really not my intention to hurt you. If you want to seek revenge, please include me in the list.”

"I have never harmed you, nor your mother. Please spare my life!"

Tsk tsk tsk, that's a pretty good reason, and Ye Xiruo almost believed it.

Xiu Qiyu smiled but remained silent. There was no doubt that these people had blood on their hands. He wanted to see how Liu Tiesheng would choose.

There are also some people whose art style is completely opposite.

"Who told you to ruin your son's plans? You deserve to end up like this."

"If it weren't for your son's kind heart, sparing your worthless life, do you think you'd still be standing here unharmed? You ungrateful thing."

"If I had known this day would come, I should have killed you sooner."

"Go ahead and kill him if you dare! We'd be willing to die for your son."

"Kill one of me, and there will be millions more."

"Go ahead and kill me. I want to see if you can really bring yourself to do it. If it weren't for our mercy, you would already be dead. You are about to become a man with blood on your hands, no different from your son."

"Your son will definitely avenge us."

"Your young master has already formed his core. Crushing you is as easy as crushing an ant." There was not a trace of remorse on the faces of this group of people. Their eyes were full of malice and disdain as they looked at Liu Tiesheng. Their only regret was that they had not killed Liu Tiesheng sooner.

Ye Xiruo was furious. Although the reasons given by the previous people were absurd, they still had some credibility. These people had no remorse whatsoever and were filled with hatred and murderous intent even as they faced death. Such people truly deserved to die, and they shouldn't even be allowed to die too quickly.

Thinking this, Ye Xiruo was about to rush out and show them what it meant to wish they were dead.

Xiu Qiyu stopped Ye Xiruo: "Let's wait and see! Let's see what Tie Sheng chooses."

"Fine, none of these people will leave here alive today."

"That's natural." In fact, if Xiu Qiyu had wanted to, these people would have turned to ashes with a single thought.

Liu Tiesheng's expression was very calm: "Are you finished talking? If you are, it's my turn to speak. You all have your reasons, and I also have my reasons for killing you. That reason is that you deserve to die."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Liu Tiesheng picked up his longsword and cleaved the man who had been most enthusiastic about the killing in two at the waist. The blood mixed with a foul stench, along with the man's enormous scream before he died, set the stage for this bloody massacre.

That's right, it was a one-sided massacre. Their skills had long been crippled by Xie Ruo, and their bodies had lost their ability to move.

Liu Tiesheng's sword, imbued with the rage, resentment, and overwhelming killing intent of the past six months, swung wildly and haphazardly. More and more people fell into pools of blood, and screams echoed from the dilapidated courtyard.

If Ye Xi had directly hypnotized Aunt Wang, she probably wouldn't want to see Tie Sheng like this, no matter what.

Half an hour later, the last man closed his eyes in agony. Liu Tiesheng was covered in blood, looking like a demon from hell, his entire body radiating murderous intent. However, the anger and resentment deep in his eyes had vanished, replaced by a hint of confusion. He had done what he had wanted to do for the past six months, and the process had been incredibly smooth. They had all died at his hands, but why did he now only want to weep bitterly?

These people were punished, and then what? Liu Tiesheng's mind went blank. He had even exhausted all his strength, and with a blank expression, he knelt down on the ground, his back looking even thinner.

"These things are disgusting, they'd better just disappear sooner rather than later."

If Ye Xiruo frowned, the smell of blood would always be the most unbearable.

"Okay." Xiu Qiyu's fingertips twitched slightly, and a thick layer of ice immediately covered the ground. All the corpses and bloodstains were frozen, and in the next second, they turned into countless ice shards and disappeared into the air without leaving a trace.
