The opponent was consistently a Shenxuan realm powerhouse, whose true strength far surpassed that of the Jun Residence. If Young Master Jun had rashly exposed all of his strength, revealing his considerable abilities, the opponent would likely have pressed the attack relentlessly, perhaps even using it as an excuse to eliminate him. Thus, he deliberately refrained from circulating his Profound Arts to rapidly heal his internal injuries, even allowing a thread of blood to intentionally seep from his nose.

Even so, the Sixth Elder let out an “Hmph?” sound, finally opening his eyes. He studied Jun Mo Xie up and down for a moment, then nodded slowly. “Not bad!”

The Sixth Elder, being a figure of the Shenxuan realm, valued his status. Having missed his initial strike, he would not attack again. Although he was surprised by the strength of the Third Young Master Jun, the latter was still a junior, possessing only Golden Profound cultivation. For someone of the Elder’s stature to strike repeatedly would betray all sense of grace.

“Killer Jun,” he added, wiping the blood from his face with a sneer. “The Supreme Shenxuan is indeed sharp!”

If he were genuinely heavily injured, this statement would be sincere praise. But now, with his seemingly meager cultivation, having blocked the assault of a Supreme Shenxuan and standing firm with only minor injuries, his words transformed into utter mockery!

Although the Sixth Elder had deployed less than one percent of his Profound Power against him earlier, that energy was still the Shenxuan-grade Profound Qi of a Supreme Shenxuan, something no mere Golden Profound practitioner could possibly withstand. If Young Master Jun had not possessed profound foundations, even someone in the Earth Profound realm might not have endured it!

“Sixth Elder, hold your hand!” Mu Xue Tong cried out urgently, her mind racing to devise a strategy to persuade the Sixth Elder to leave the Jun Family. The speed of the Sixth Elder’s attack had greatly exceeded her expectations, and only now, as the words of restraint left her lips, did she manage to speak.

“Sixth Elder, may I ask what your intentions are?” Jun Wu Yi’s sharp eyebrows shot up as he questioned with icy severity. Despite facing a master of the Supreme Shenxuan level, the man had dared to injure his only nephew in his presence, something Jun Wu Yi would never tolerate! “To strike at a junior—is this the decorum of the Xiao Family of Silver Snow City, or the imposing might of a Supreme Shenxuan?”

“No particular meaning. However, if someone from my Silver City encounters trouble on Jun Family territory, then the Jun Family must pay a corresponding price!” the Sixth Elder stated lightly. The implication in his words was extraordinarily domineering and unreasonable. He fixed his gaze on Jun Mo Xie. “This brat actually dared to be so insolent toward this old man, so I naturally must administer a small punishment! It also serves to tell him that disrespecting someone in the Shenxuan realm can easily invite death! My actions are actually well-intentioned—to prevent your sole descendant from being killed unknowingly in the future without rhyme or reason! As for the imposing might of the Supreme Shenxuan and the decorum of the Xiao Family, you, Jun Wu Yi, are not qualified to comment!”

Jun Wu Yi trembled with rage. “Even if it’s a fabricated offense, you intend to pin it on the Jun Family? Is that what you mean, Sixth Elder? Then my Jun Family absolutely will not accept such a humiliation! Regarding today’s affair, the Silver Snow City must provide an explanation to my Jun Family.”

The Sixth Elder replied languidly, “If a descendant of my Xiao Family has trouble on Jun Family ground, then a descendant of the Jun Family shall become just like him! That is what I mean. Do you have any differing opinions? That’s truly excellent; since the Jun Family descendant is only this one boy, it saves a lot of trouble. Very good, very good!”

“As for an explanation? Heh heh heh, do you truly believe this old man will offer you any explanation? Humph, utterly childish!”

His overwhelming dominance radiated from him, impossible to conceal.

With a whoosh, a white-haired elder burst through the wall, accompanied by a radiantly beautiful young girl. Seeing the Sixth Elder and his companions casually sipping tea there, they immediately felt a surge of relief. It seemed the situation had not yet reached the point of no return, and they hadn’t managed to truly anger that formidable expert.

“Third Brother, why are you here?” the Sixth Elder asked in surprise, feeling a twinge of regret. His previous strike had perhaps been too lenient. Now that the Third Brother was here, he likely wouldn’t be able to act against the Jun Family. After all, the City Lord had given instructions regarding this matter before they left Silver City. Yet, he was also puzzled: had the three brothers not divided their tasks? Why had the Third Brother suddenly arrived here?

Before the Third Elder could speak, a voice laced with arrogance sliced through the air: “Damn it, what kind of insignificant minnows are squeaking here, disturbing my peace? Truly outrageous!”

“Who is it? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of this old man! Crawl out! This old man will leave you an intact corpse!” The Sixth Elder roared. He had been looking for a pretext to cause trouble, and this voice had arrived right on cue…

But he regretted it almost immediately! Because this challenge was not one he could initiate!

A black silhouette suddenly shot out from the air at great speed. A cascade of black hair whipped outwards like a startled eagle as he flew directly over the Sixth Elder’s head. Ten razor-sharp gusts of wind descended with a swoosh, causing all the surrounding flowers and grass to bend violently in the opposite direction. Everyone present felt their breath catch; the force of that single strike had turned this entire area into a vacuum!

The imposing power of this attack was truly earth-shattering!

It was easy to imagine that if the Sixth Elder had failed to react appropriately, even with his Shenxuan cultivation, he might have died on the spot, perhaps even losing his entire body!

Accompanying this figure was an overwhelmingly potent aura, flooding the space between heaven and earth! An air of profound arrogance, like a monarch emerging from the dark night, descended with a roar!

The Third Elder, along with the two other elders, gasped simultaneously, crying out, “Ying Bo Kong!”

This god of slaughter—why was he here?!

Heavens, what did Old Sixth just say? That he would leave the man an intact corpse?!

But it was too late to consider such things now. The Sixth Elder knew survival was paramount, and abandoning all pretense of an expert’s composure, he flipped violently off his seat. He followed up with five or six rapid somersaults, instantly shifting positions five or six times, while his Shenxuan Profound Qi swirled continuously, laying down defensive lines, layer upon layer, to meet the terrifying momentum bearing down on him from the newcomer!

Ying Bo Kong paid no heed to the heavy defensive lines below. His body pressed down from the sky, forcibly tearing through the energy field. His palms and ten fingers remained fixed in their original posture, smashing through the Sixth Elder’s Profound Qi defenses like a hot knife through butter.

The Third Elder shouted, “Esteemed Master Ying, please show mercy!” He flew forward to assist the Sixth Elder in retreating.

Ying Bo Kong paid him no mind, his eyes glittering with murderous intent that was almost solid! His ten fingers would not cease their attack until their target was reached, aggressively reaching out.

The Great Master Ying was furious, enraged beyond measure—it could be called absolute fury!

He had spent decades researching the Eagle Transformation Art, only recently grasping the threshold of a breakthrough. Just then, he encountered a seemingly insurmountable bottleneck through his own power. Having finally received guidance from a master, he found Jun Mo Xie, an unexpected joy that revealed such an arcane and novel technique. He had been utterly consumed, immersed in understanding it.

Who would have thought that in such a short span of time, someone would dare to strike at Jun Mo Xie right before his eyes! Wasn’t this effectively demanding Ying Bo Kong’s life?

If this brat died, or was crippled, his Eagle Transformation Profound Skill would be completely wasted! Not to mention that the mysterious master would certainly hold him accountable. As for asking that master for further instruction, even if the master was willing, the Great Master Ying would be too ashamed to ask!

When the Sixth Elder was escorted in by Jun Wu Yi, Ying Bo Kong, with his level of cultivation, was aware of it. But at that time, he was deeply engrossed in pondering the intricacies of the technique and had no time to concern himself with some blasted elder.

While Ying Bo Kong was concentrating on his research, even if the Snow Wind Supreme of Silver Snow City himself had arrived, he would have ignored them; he needed to conclude his study before considering whether to pay any attention.

But in this brief moment, Jun Mo Xie had been attacked! And Ying Bo Kong had been completely unable to intervene in time.

This filled Ying Bo Kong with lingering dread.

Fortunately, the young fellow possessed extraordinary strength and managed to barely withstand it. If he hadn’t…

This is what drove Ying Bo Kong to murderous intent!

To dare obstruct his practice of a peerless martial art—what difference was such an action from severing his path forward? This hatred was irreconcilable!

Jun Mo Xie had used every stratagem to secure Ying Bo Kong’s protection for the Jun Family, yet neither he nor anyone else expected that its powerful effect would manifest on the very first day!

Ying Bo Kong’s ten fingers pressed forward relentlessly, his killing intent palpable!

All the heavy defensive lines painstakingly established by the Sixth Elder were shattered by Ying Bo Kong’s unstoppable assault! As the Sixth Elder completed his seventh somersault, Ying Bo Kong’s hands seemed to tear through space, suddenly accelerating once more, plunging down like a meteor. They slammed heavily into his chest.

At that exact moment, the assistance from the Third Elder was just arriving. Ying Bo Kong stooped his body, charging forward to meet it head-on, absorbing the blow with his physical flesh!

Bang! The Third Elder was sent flying back, and Ying Bo Kong’s body swayed slightly.

The overwhelming, destructive Supreme Shenxuan Qi ripped through the Sixth Elder’s protective Profound Qi like a whirlwind, striking heavily against his chest!

With several loud crack-crack-crack sounds, several ribs must have fractured. The Sixth Elder let out a cry, spitting out a mouthful of bright red blood that immediately stained his white beard.

Judging by the color of the blood, his internal organs had clearly been shocked and injured—perhaps all five were afflicted!

The Sixth Elder tumbled twice like a deflated ball, unable to maintain his stance any longer. With a thump, he crashed into a flower bed, rolled twice more, and finally slammed against a flowering tree before stopping. He leaned on the trunk, trembling as he managed to stand, blood continuously bubbling from his mouth. His face was contorted with venomous hatred.

“Why?” As the Sixth Elder spoke, blood flowed even faster. Mu Xue Tong moved forward to support him but was waved away. Forcing down the immense pain wracking his body, he gritted his teeth and demanded the answer.

This very question was what the Third Elder, Mu Xue Tong, and the Silver City’s little princess, Han Yan Meng—who was standing by, stunned speechless with terror—all wished to ask.

They simply could not comprehend why Ying Bo Kong would use such lethal force. Even if the Sixth Elder had spoken recklessly and offended him, it shouldn’t warrant taking his life. If he actually killed the Sixth Elder, it would mean forging an eternal, irreconcilable enmity with Silver Snow City. Was it truly worth it?

“This old man always acts as he pleases. A mere minnow like you, I could wipe out hundreds with a wave of my hand! Having lived for so many years, you still don’t understand the basic rules? What right do you have to question why this old man does anything? Are you worthy?!”

Ying Bo Kong’s long hair drifted, his eyes sharp as lightning, radiating an air of disdain. His black robes moved without wind, clearly indicating that this Supreme’s wrath had not yet subsided!
