at the same time
Inside the main hall
Su Xuan'er suddenly woke up and was stunned to see the tense standoff. Her mind was still a little foggy and she hadn't realized what was happening in front of her. Then, when she came to her senses and saw who was in front of her, her expression changed instantly.
A hint of shock gradually gathered in her clear, beautiful eyes.
"I……"
The memory from before entered her mind intermittently, and with each recollection, her face grew paler.
"It seems that only by completely extinguishing your hopes can you honestly bring glory to the Cao family."
Cao Tianming's gaze fell on Su Xuan'er's face, suddenly turning cold, and then a smile appeared on his lips.
Cao Lun was right; he absolutely could not allow the tragedy to repeat itself.
There is a way to both prevent the tragedy from happening and effectively make Cao Lun rein in his thoughts. The best solution is to kill the root cause of this conflict – Su Xuan'er.
With Su Xuan'er dead, Cao Tianming, the current head of the Cao family and the most talented cultivator, can now focus on cultivation. As long as he can break through to the Saint King realm, his Cao family can return to its peak.
He was willing to sacrifice everything for the Cao family.
At this moment, he had already withdrawn the guilt he felt.
Last time, after making this decision, he sacrificed Cao Lin, the second uncle Cao Lun mentioned.
"Ancestor..."
After realizing Cao Tianming's intention, Cao Lun's expression changed instantly. He then stepped forward, and his spiritual energy rippled outwards.
However, Cao Tianming's eyes narrowed, and a powerful killing intent shot out in an instant. Compared to Cao Tianming's overwhelming power, Cao Lun's spiritual power was like wisps of silk; the two were not even in the same league.
Without a doubt, they were completely defeated in just one round, or even in the blink of an eye.
Saints are ultimately high above.
Even if there are ten Divine Realm warriors, a Saint-level warrior can kill them without any effort.
"Die!"
Cao Tianming's eyes were filled with overwhelming killing intent. His hand shot out like a hawk, and a powerful killing intent instantly condensed, pressing down on Su Xuan'er.
An extreme killing intent began to spread throughout the entire hall.
This level of attack would require even a Saint-level martial artist to put in considerable effort to deal with.
If they were to face a martial artist at the Divine Realm, it would be a catastrophic disaster.
At this moment, Su Xuan'er was merely a third-rate martial artist, not even having reached the threshold of martial arts. If this move were to strike, she would instantly be reduced to ashes.
Su Xuan'er's face turned pale instantly.
As the murderous aura descended, all the air in her abdomen was squeezed out, and in a short moment, her face turned red from suffocation.
The attack, which was gradually expanding in her pupils, made Su Xuan'er feel as if she were being locked in place, unable to move.
Cao Lun could only watch helplessly as it all unfolded.
The oppressive aura emanating from the Saint Warrior rendered him immobile, causing him to pause in breathing for a moment.
His pupils suddenly contracted.
"No……"
A hoarse voice slowly emerged from his throat, accompanied by a look of despair in his eyes.
Cao Tianming looked at this scene and sneered, "Cao Lun, I'm doing this for your own good. Even if you hate me, as long as you can lead the Cao family to glory in the future, then everything I've done today will be worth it."
Offensive is imminent
Despair flashed in Cao Lun's eyes.
Su Xuan'er's face was deathly pale, with visible blood vessels, and a look of horror gradually appeared in her clear eyes.
She was still a naive girl, and when it came to a life-or-death situation, she was somewhat timid and fearful.
Boom
The attack was already less than an inch away from Su Xuan'er.
At this moment, Su Xuan'er could clearly feel the slight stinging sensation on her skin from the murderous aura.
She closed her eyes in despair, awaiting death.
She was thinking of the person she longed for.
"Ming'er, we must be together in our next life."
Time passed second by second.
Although only a few seconds had passed, it felt like years to Su Xuan'er.
She opened her eyes with some curiosity.
The attack had already dissipated.
Inside the hall, a strange young man suddenly appeared.
The young man had a faint smile on his face, just like a handsome and sunny boy next door.
The appearance of his imposing figure changed the atmosphere inside the hall.
Cao Tianming stared grimly at the stranger who had suddenly appeared and asked, "Who are you?"
This person gave him a sense of unfathomable depth. Most importantly, he couldn't sense when this person appeared, which meant that this person's cultivation level was likely above his own.
Could it be...?
Holy King...
His breath hitched suddenly.
The look in her eyes as she gazed at the young man now held a different meaning.
Since his breakthrough, he has been able to connect with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and he has increasingly felt that there are people beyond people in heaven. Every small step he takes up will bring about earth-shattering changes.
The young man grinned, ignoring Cao Tianming's question, and his gaze fell on Su Xuan'er, who was currently sizing him up. He said softly, "Are you Su Xuan'er?"
Su Xuan'er nodded blankly and said, "It's me."
"Your brother is Su Yuan?"
Su Xuan'er nodded, "That's right, my brother's name is Su Yuan... You know my brother?"
She immediately became excited.
Although her cultivation level was low, she was not stupid. Cao Tianming's attack was clearly about to arrive, and she was about to say goodbye to this world she loved. But with the appearance of that young man, everything changed.
Moreover, Cao Tianming clearly showed some fear, so this person was most likely a strong individual.
A glimmer of hope ignited within me.
When Cao Lun saw this, he also laughed.
But Cao Tianming's expression turned ugly. He said in a sinister tone, "Sir, this is a family matter of the Cao family. It seems a bit unreasonable for you to interfere so casually."
"Family matters?"
Zhou Mu looked at Cao Tianming and gave him an innocent smile. "I had no idea that my good brother's sister had become someone else's family."
As he spoke, he looked at Su Xuan'er and asked, "You're married?"
Su Xuan'er shook her head. "No."
Zhou Mu said, "You see, this isn't a family matter at all. As for this person, I don't care. Kill or torture him as you please. I'll just take my men with me."
As he spoke, his figure flashed, and the next moment, he appeared in front of Su Xuan'er.
Just as he reached out to help Su Xuan'er up, Cao Tianming spoke up, "Hahahaha... Kid, it's not that I didn't give you a chance, it's that you didn't cherish it, so don't blame me."
