Zhang Changxing's older brother, Zhang Changfa, was a disciple of the Tianji Sect. The reason why the disciples of the Tianji Sect were frequently going down the mountain was because the Tianji Sect had lost a magic treasure, which was stolen by a traitor of the Tianji Sect.
Although the traitor of the Heavenly Pole Sect has been eliminated, the magical artifact has disappeared. This artifact is the Heavenly Pole Sect's most prized possession, and it must be retrieved.
Therefore, the Tianji Sect sent out its disciples to search everywhere.
Of course, the Tianji Sect would never admit that its magic treasure was lost; if that got out, the Tianji Sect would become a laughing stock among cultivation sects.
Therefore, the higher-ups of the Tianji Sect came up with a good idea: under the guise of sending their disciples outside for training, they were given a task: to find a magical artifact.
As a result, the disciples of the Tianji Sect went to all parts of the country, which is why Liu Xiaoyuan and his group were able to encounter the disciples of the Tianji Sect here again.
This time, Zhang Changfa came to visit his younger brother, naturally to pay his respects. Zhang Changxing knew his older brother was a womanizer, so he deliberately targeted Su Xue as his prey, intending to enjoy her before giving her to his brother.
However, what was unexpected was that Su Xue was a Golden Core cultivator, and in Su Xue's eyes, the Zhang Changfa brothers were truly like ants.
"Get out! If you don't want to end up like your brother, get out of here right now!" Su Xue said coldly. She had finally managed to go shopping with Liu Xiaoyuan, but this guy came to bother her. He was simply rude!
Zhang Changfa seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world and said, "Tell me to get lost, you'll have to see if you have the ability!"
Zhang Changfa thought Su Xue was just an ordinary woman, so he didn't take Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Xue seriously at all.
"You're courting death!" As soon as Su Xue finished speaking, the pressure of the Golden Core stage enveloped Zhang Changfa. Zhang Changfa immediately felt like a weak child being pressed down on his head by an adult's big hand, unable to move at all.
"You...you are a Golden Core expert?" Zhang Changfa's tone was filled with boundless terror, because he sensed the aura of death from this oppressive aura. With just a thought from the other party, he could take his life.
Su Xue coldly replied, "That's right!"
Zhang Changfa immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Faced with a Golden Core cultivator, Zhang Changfa had no choice but to kneel down and beg for mercy.
In front of a Golden Core cultivator, Zhang Changfa was truly a dog, a dog that could be kicked to death at will.
"Su Xue, let me do it!" Liu Xiaoyuan stopped Su Xue from killing Zhang Changfa. If Su Xue killed Zhang Changfa, that was fine, but if Liu Xiaoyuan killed him, he would get experience points.
Upon hearing this, Su Xue glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan and asked, "Are you sure you can do it?"
Faced with Su Xue's questioning, Liu Xiaoyuan rolled his eyes. "Don't underestimate me like that. When you advanced to the Golden Core stage, who was protecting you? Who killed two late Foundation Establishment cultivators?"
Seeing Liu Xiaoyuan's expression, Su Xue immediately remembered and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot about that night."
Hearing the conversation between the two, Zhang Changfa, who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, was secretly delighted. If it really was Liu Xiaoyuan, a guy in the late stage of Qi Refining, who was dealing with him, then things would be much easier.
Facing Su Xue, a Golden Core cultivator, Zhang Changfa had absolutely no confidence and could only kneel down and await his death. But if he were facing Liu Xiaoyuan, a novice in the late Qi Refining stage, it would be a piece of cake.
So, Su Xue grabbed Zhang Changfa, and the three of them went to a deserted place. This was the perfect place to kill someone and cover their tracks. No one would come to this godforsaken place, not even during the day, let alone at night.
"Senior, spare my life! Senior, spare my life!" Zhang Changfa immediately knelt on the ground and begged Su Xue for mercy.
Su Xue said coldly, "You should beg him for mercy. If he doesn't kill you later, you can live."
Zhang Changfa turned his gaze to Liu Xiaoyuan, thinking to himself, "What right does this kid have to spare my life? He's just a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator. If it weren't for you, a Golden Core cultivator, by my side, I could kill more than a dozen of you in a matter of minutes."
Liu Xiaoyuan looked at Zhang Changfa kneeling on the ground and said, "I'll give you a chance to live. If you defeat me, you can live!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Changfa could hardly believe his ears. Was this guy telling the truth? Who gave a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator such courage?
"You...you're serious?" Zhang Changfa stared at Liu Xiaoyuan in astonishment. He clearly didn't believe it and thought Liu Xiaoyuan was joking with him.
Even the most monstrous talent, at the late Qi Refining stage, can only defeat cultivators at the early Foundation Establishment stage at most. Defeating a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator would be extremely difficult. As for late-Foundation Establishment cultivators, don't even think about it, because the difference in their cultivation levels is not just a small realm, but a whole realm.
Therefore, there has never been an example of a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining defeating a cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded seriously and said, "It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, I guarantee it with my integrity. It's definitely true."
Zhang Changfa glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan, then at Su Xue standing beside him. Zhang Changfa was most worried about Su Xue; she was a Golden Core cultivator, and he felt like an ant in her presence.
"Don't worry, as long as you defeat me, you can leave completely. I can guarantee that." Seeing Zhang Changfa's expression, Liu Xiaoyuan knew what he was worried about.
Liu Xiaoyuan was so confident because he had a god-level invincible system. Once the sword immortal summoned it, Zhang Changfa would surely die.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Changfa looked at Liu Xiaoyuan with disbelief in his eyes. How could a mere late-stage Qi Refining cultivator like you control a Golden Core cultivator?
However, judging from their appearance, Zhang Changfa believed they were a couple.
Thinking this way, Zhang Changfa decided that he must not kill the cultivator in front of him when he made his move. Otherwise, if he killed this late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, he would not be able to leave either. He just needed to win.
Zhang Changfa was quite thoughtful, and then said to Liu Xiaoyuan, "Alright, since you want to experience the power of the late Foundation Establishment stage, then I'll let you try it!"
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately summoned the Flying Cloud Sword from his Niwan Palace. Upon seeing this, Zhang Changfa thought to himself, "No wonder this kid is so arrogant; he's actually a sword immortal."
Hmph, so what if you're a sword immortal? You're just a late-stage Qi Refining sword immortal. If you were at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment, I, Zhang Changfa, might be a little afraid. But you're just a late-stage Qi Refining sword immortal; in my mind, you're utterly insignificant!
