Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021: Desperate Fight!!!! Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021: Desperate Fight!!!! At such a critical moment, Huang Xiaolong finally made his appearance.

Riding on his sword, he had intended to reunite with Ying Aoshan and many old friends with great joy; however, he had not expected such an event to unfold!

He had previously met these two disciples of the Shushan Sword Sect during Master Zhang’s birthday feast at Dragon Tiger Mountain. He thought they had left Central Earth and returned overseas, but unexpectedly, they were still lying in wait outside the Wulong Mountain Manor, like hunters by a tree stump, awaiting their prey!

And it was just the Ying Family members’ bad luck to arrive at Wulong Mountain Manor exactly at this critical juncture–to literally walk into an ambush!

Fortunately, Huang Xiaolong was not too late.

With a sweeping glance, Huang Xiaolong saw Ying Aotian, Ying Xiao, and Lin Zicong, all with severed arms and bleeding profusely.

Although these three, being ancient martial arts Great Grandmasters, could barely endure the pain, their limbs were severed by mana-infused Sword Qi, which made it impossible for them to stop the bleeding. If the blood continued to flow like this, they would die from massive blood loss.

Huang Xiaolong threw out several blood-stopping talismans directly.

As the talismans burned, they turned into rays of light that penetrated the wounds of those with severed limbs, instantly halting the blood flow.

The two Shushan Sword Sect disciples did not prevent Huang Xiaolong from doing so.

Both of them watched Huang Xiaolong warily, but their eyelids began to glint with gold, and their bodies swirled with condensed Sword Qi. This indicated that they were brewing mana and Sword Intent, ready at any moment to strike a fatal blow at Huang Xiaolong.

Indeed, having witnessed Huang Xiaolong’s methods before, they dared not take him lightly.

Of course, as disciples of a major sect, they had the courage and weren’t intimidated by Huang Xiaolong.

“Oh, Daoist friend, this is our second meeting,” the youth in white spoke indifferently. “So it turns out you are the master of this Wulong Mountain Manor.”

Huang Xiaolong did not respond but instead turned his attention to Ying Aoshan.

“Aoshan honey~~” Huang Xiaolong greeted Ying Aoshan with a playful and smiling face, completely ignoring the two Shushan Sword Sect disciples.

“Little Long~~” Having not seen the man she loved for many days, Ying Aoshan felt her deep affection and yearning erupt like a volcano. However, mingled with these overwhelming emotions was a sense of injustice.

This caused Ying Aoshan’s eyes to suddenly well up with tears, and like pearls falling off a string, they continued to drop down, sliding across her snow-white cheeks and pausing at her delicate chin. It was a sight that invoked pity.

Huang Xiaolong hastened to say, “Aoshan honey, don’t cry. I will get justice for all of the grievances you suffered today. Anyone who dares to bully you will have their soul utterly destroyed.”

Huang Xiaolong’s words were delivered in a casual and understated manner, his smile present as he spoke. Yet those who knew him well understood that trouble was brewing for the two Shushan Sword Sect disciples–and it would likely come swiftly!

Immediately after, Huang Xiaolong scanned the area and took in Mengyao, Lin Zicong, and the Ying Family members, slightly nodding his head.

With that gesture, the previously crumbling spirits of the Ying Family members immediately recovered. Now that Huang Xiaolong had arrived, there was nothing to worry about. No matter how powerful the enemy, in Huang Xiaolong’s presence, they were all as vulnerable as a strike of straw!

Huang Xiaolong was regarded as a deity in the hearts of the Ying Family, and they had absolute faith in him!

“Fellow Daoist! We! Are! Speaking! To! You!” Two disciples of the Shushan Sect, having never suffered such disregard and humiliation, simultaneously shouted in anger.

Their fury erupted, their bodies trembling slightly from indignation, and with every slight sway, a myriad of sword cries emanated from within them!

“Heh~~” Huang Xiaolong looked at the two Shushan Sword Sect disciples with a teasing gaze.

If Huang Xiaolong wasn’t mistaken, they were both at the mid-stage of the “Divine Skills Realm,” capable of moving mountains with a thought. To the secular world, they were akin to nuclear weapons.

Their real ages must be several hundred years old.

Originally, the one Huang Xiaolong had killed, “Ling Xiao Peng,” had just stepped into the “Divine Skills Realm,” with an unstable foundation, nowhere near a match for the two men before him.

Moreover, Huang Xiaolong now understood that even within the same realm, whether it’s “early,” “mid,” or “late” stage, there was a great distinction!

“What is it you want to say?” Huang Xiaolong asked with a playful smile.

“Fellow Daoist, our Shushan Sword Sect’s junior disciple, Ling Xiao Peng, did he die at your hands?” The young man in blue spoke sharply, with a cold smirk. “Don’t bother denying it. In the Central Plains, the only ones capable of killing the junior disciple besides Master Zhang’s divine thoughts, I’m afraid, are you. It’s useless to quibble. Just admit it outright.”

Huang Xiaolong was taken aback. “Uh~~ I never had any intention of denying it. Yes, that youngster, I killed him.”

Huang Xiaolong’s voice was unabashedly righteous.

“You!!!!!!”

These two Shushan Sword Sect disciples were immediately infuriated upon hearing this, their faces flushed with blood, feeling deeply humiliated. Huang Xiaolong was not only insulting them but also belittling the illustrious Shushan Sword Sect!

A fierce killing intent seeped from their bodies, but they forcefully restrained themselves from immediately lashing out in retaliation.

“Fellow Daoist, don’t think that with a bit of ability, you can act without any restraint. Truth be told, your mana, compared to our Shushan Sword Sect, is utterly inconsequential, like dust! The junior disciple, he is the beloved son of our current Sect Master, he’s not a nobody. By killing him, you’ve brought a calamity upon yourself! You surely won’t meet a good end! Now, I’ll give you one last chance, offer up your Wolong Villa to our Shushan Sword Sect, and then, you and everyone from the villa, go to our Shushan Sword Sect and submit yourselves for punishment. We might speak a few good words for you; perhaps you can avoid death, but your cultivation will be crippled~~~”
“Hahahaha~~ Really… This is laughable… You hurt my people and yet boast in front of me. Could it be that you people from the Shushan Sword Sect inherently believe that only you have the right to insult others without allowing retaliation? Where does your sense of superiority come from? If one day, I were to visit the Shushan Sect, it would not be to submit for punishment but to eradicate! Alright, since you think you’re born with this sense of superiority, today, I will trample on your superiority,” said Huang Xiaolong indifferently.

“Hmph! Die!” Said the young man in white, as soon as Huang Xiaolong refused to yield, he had already brewed his killing intent.

He pointed a finger, and a pale purple Sword Qi burst forth explosively from his body!

This Sword Qi, upon bursting forth, swelled to several meters in length and as wide as a door, filled with a deep sharpness as if anything could be torn apart by it!

This Sword Qi truly possessed the fierceness of an ancient Sword Immortal, as well as the Sword technique of the Shushan Sword Sect.

As soon as the Sword Qi was released, nature’s spiritual energy from all directions swarmed towards it, converging upon the Sword Qi, causing a large expanse of the void to seem as though it was about to collapse inward.

“Little Long, be careful!” Ying Aoshan screamed in horror.

This sword light had indeed exceeded the realm of ancient martial arts.

Ying Aoshan, as well as every other member of the Ying Family present, had every reason to believe that no ancient martial arts Great Grandmaster, when faced with this sword light, differed from an ant–there was simply no comparison!

Even the most formidable ancient martial arts practice would struggle to withstand a fraction of this sword light!

Huang Xiaolong remained unmoved, his right hand suddenly reaching out.

A stream of air morphed into an enormous hand, emanating a terrifying ghostly aura. It seemed as if thousands of wailing ghosts were tumbling within the palm, making bubbling sounds.

In the blink of an eye, the ghostly hand Huang Xiaolong had formed grasped the sword light unleashed by the young man in white. It even firmly captured the superior quality flying sword encapsulated within the sword light!

At the same time, a sword light burst forth from within Huang Xiaolong’s body!

This sword light, with a momentum that could shock the heavens, swooped out with the might to sweep across the sky, swallowing all nature’s spiritual energy, and slashing through everything with an imposing aura.

Contained within this sword light was the essence of Shushan’s sword techniques!

This was Huang Xiaolong’s understanding of the sword techniques and Sword Qi, which he had deciphered from the sword array on the flying sword he had acquired from Ling Xiaopeng!

Using it for the first time, its power proved to be shockingly formidable!

“Ah~~!!” The young men in white and blue erupted with harrowing roars, their eyes filled with disbelief, as if they had witnessed the most impossible occurrence unfold right before them.

“Our Shushan Sect’s sword techniques!! Why! How could it be!”

The next second.

Spurt~~~~!

The right arm of the young man in white was cleanly severed by the sword Qi!

Blood gushed out like a fountain!

Huang Xiaolong reached out and snatched the severed arm.

However, due to the shock, the young man in white seemed unable to react immediately as he let out a heart-wrenching scream. “Impossible! It’s impossible for an outsider to cultivate any of our Shushan sword sect’s cultivation techniques! Such Sword Qi could only be emitted by our sect’s authentic ‘Heaven Shocking Sword Technique’… You… You… Could it be that you… are a divine consciousness avatar of the Grandmaster, a descendant he left behind in the Central Plains? You killed my junior brother because… because… you wanted to vie for favor?”

The young man in white shared his speculation aloud.

Huang Xiaolong was nearly laughing himself to death.

But, it was no wonder these two Shushan Sect disciples would think as such.

After all, the soul of every disciple of the Shushan Sect was sealed with a secret curse, ensuring that if their physical bodies died, their souls would explode and vanish, an assurance that the true teachings of the Shushan Sect would never fall into outsiders’ hands.

They had never imagined that Huang Xiaolong could deduce some of the true teachings of the Shushan Sect from certain sword arrays.

The only explanation was that Huang Xiaolong had some connection to the Shushan Sect!

The current Sect Master of Shushan, known for his romantic escapades, might well have left a descendant in the Central Plains with a strand of his divine consciousness–it wasn’t impossible!

Huang Xiaolong didn’t care about any of that as he tossed the young man in white’s severed arm to his father-in-law, Ying Xiao.

Spurt~~!

The severed arm directly embedded itself into the wound where Ying Xiao’s right arm had been severed.

Immediately, Huang Xiaolong forcefully utilized mana to fuse the young man’s severed arm with Ying Xiao’s body!

“Father-in-law, this arm belonged to an overseas Sword Immortal, filled with abundant mana and Sword Qi. Since he severed your arm, let him compensate you with his own. Heh heh, this arm is practically a magical treasure. Hahahaha~~~” Huang Xiaolong laughed boisterously.

Only then did the two Shushan Sect disciples react.

Shocked and furious!

“Use my arm to compensate these ants?” The young man in white was furiously incredulous!

“Yes, exactly like that!” Huang Xiaolong said with a teasing laugh, his cold gaze shifting toward the young man in blue, “Your turn to compensate!”

Whoosh~~~!

The sword light flickered, cleanly severing the right arm of the young man in blue!

“The boy is formidable! Stop hesitating and fight him with all we’ve got! Otherwise, we’re surely dead!” The young man in white unleashed a gut-wrenching roar. “Let’s fight him!”

After speaking, both of them quickly took out a blue pill from their bosoms and threw it into their mouths.

Boom~~~ Boom~~~
In an instant, both erupted with a mana fluctuation several times more powerful than before!

They roared, and the winds and clouds changed color!

“Oh? An explosion of mana?” Huang Xiaolong was slightly startled.

…
