Chapter 43: Killing from Afar

As the Sword Domain unfolded, Chu Xiaotian's complexion turned even paler.

After all, maintaining the Sword Domain with his cultivation at the Spirit Yuan Realm consumed spiritual energy too quickly. He could only sustain it for a quarter of an hour, no longer.

Of course, if it weren't for Chu Xiaotian's supreme divine body and his practice of the Qiankun Heaven and Earth Technique, which gave him several times the spiritual energy of a warrior of the same realm, he would have been able to persist for even less time.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Chu Xiaotian alone, sustaining the Sword Domain, immediately caused sword qi to erupt. The swords surrounding him shone with a faint cold light, bursting forth to fiercely attack the army.

At the same time, Chu Xiaotian controlled the phantom shuttle in his sea of consciousness, his mental power boosting the phantom shuttle, turning it into a black light weaving through the army, continuously slaughtering those who sought his life.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

Chu Xiaotian's strength was too mighty, severely underestimated.

Terrified and miserable screams echoed continuously between heaven and earth as one figure after another in the army fell.

In just a moment, a river of blood formed on the ground, and the number of dead increased continuously: ten, a hundred, even a thousand.

"Retreat!"

Seeing Chu Xiaotian's strength, a powerful figure in the army immediately spoke out in misery.

He too had been severely injured, his breath weak to the extreme, completely devoid of any fighting strength.

"Pathetic!"

Seeing this, Chu Xiaotian couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

Thinking they could take his life with mere numbers was simply a daydream.

Now, he had been completely transformed, firmly among the strongest of the younger generation in the Northern Yan Country.

Even invincible below the Xuan Ling Realm!

"Too strong!"

"Just with the power of one person, not only slaughtering a thousand, but also completely routing the battle formation."

"Is this the strength of Chu Xiaotian now? How terrifying!"

The crowd witnessing this scene couldn't help but erupt with astonishment.

Who would have thought that the vastly different strengths of the two sides would end like this?

Chu Xiaotian won easily, the royal army routed, even a thousand slaughtered!

"Scram!"

Chu Xiaotian's gaze fell in the direction of the army, his expression cold, a chill growing in his eyes as he slowly spoke.

"Today's enmity, our royal house will return it a hundredfold another day."

The army had come strong but now fled in disarray, not forgetting to threaten Chu Xiaotian.

To such threats, Chu Xiaotian only scoffed.

If the royal house dared to provoke him again, once his strength grew further, he would annihilate them.

"Really gone?"

Seeing Chu Xiaotian's contemptuous character, the army fled, not daring to linger.

"This news spreads, the royal house's face will surely be lost."

"Right, Chu Xiaotian will surely rise powerfully, no weaker than the top ten prodigies of the Northern Yan Country."

The scene before them was too shocking; they couldn't take their eyes off Chu Xiaotian's tall and domineering figure.

"Whoosh!"

Of course, what would happen later would be dealt with later. Now that someone dared to threaten Chu Xiaotian, he naturally would not show mercy.

A black dot tore through the void, rushing swiftly towards the army's leader who had just spoken.

The only warrior of the ninth layer of the Spirit Yuan Realm.

"General Li!"

The black dot was the phantom shuttle, and before the opponent could react, it pierced through his skull, leaving a tiny hole, completely claiming the opponent's life.

"Still dare to threaten me now? Seeking death!"

Chu Xiaotian let out a cold laugh, slowly speaking.

"Killed? Dead? Is this a declaration of war?"

At that moment, the crowd was completely dumbfounded, shocked!

They didn't expect Chu Xiaotian to make a move at this moment, claiming General Li's life.

Knowing the opponent had already fled in panic, now merely leaving behind a harsh word, yet he was slain by Chu Xiaotian.

This news reaches the royal house, and they will surely be irreconcilable with Chu Xiaotian!

But this was also within reason. Having fled in panic, as the defeated, they should act the part, yet dared to threaten. What would that look like?

"Go!"

Seeing Chu Xiaotian step by step towards the fleeing army, the surviving Spirit Yuan Realm warriors clenched their teeth full of hatred, ultimately not daring to utter any more threatening words.

Chu Xiaotian's final killing move left them trembling.

That method, they were completely unaware of.

Chu Xiaotian merely stood in place, not even using his spiritual energy, and General Li died.

Killing unseen, that's what they were referring to.

"Such conduct, how trivial!"

Seeing the army abandoning General Li's body and leaving, Chu Xiaotian curled his lips, coldly glancing at the lifeless General Li on the ground.

His eyes were wide with confusion and unwillingness...

"Does anyone else seek my life?"

Standing in place, Chu Xiaotian scanned his surroundings coldly and spoke.

He knew with the royal house's bounty, many wanted his head, even some lurking in the shadows, waiting for him to let his guard down to make their move.

But they hadn't anticipated Chu Xiaotian being so powerful, possessing a domain.

"Swipe!"

Hearing his words, everyone's face changed.

Especially those targeted by Chu Xiaotian, none dared to meet his gaze.

That chill and sword aura were too terrifying.

"Hmph!"

With a snort, Chu Xiaotian left for Yefeng City.

Just that sound made everyone tremble uncontrollably, fear of Chu Xiaotian embedded deep in their bones. From then on, Chu Xiaotian's image would be ingrained in their minds, facing him would bring fear, unable to exert half their strength.

"Too terrifying."

Seeing Chu Xiaotian leave, some finally breathed a sigh of relief, speaking in fear.

Chu Xiaotian not only forcibly retreated the army, but his last killing from afar deterred many.

Even those with sinister intentions had to temporarily dismiss the thought.

Entering Yefeng City, Chu Xiaotian relaxed a bit.

After all, private fights were forbidden within Yefeng City, ultimately avoiding some assassinations.

Of course, Chu Xiaotian would not completely let down his guard.

There were still many willing to take risks for a hefty reward.

Finding an inn, Chu Xiaotian had a big meal, planning to travel back to the Divine Sword Academy the next day.

The night was exceptionally beautiful.

The moon was bright and large, stars sparse.

Looking at the moon in the sky, Chu Xiaotian couldn't help but recall a poem.

Alone in a foreign land, every festive occasion doubles my longing for family.

Just then, Chu Xiaotian momentarily drifted off.

In the darkness, even with the bright moonlight, his figure was indiscernible, blending with the night, even Chu Xiaotian's mental power detected no danger.

The shadow in the night

, drawing ever closer to Chu Xiaotian.

Ten feet, nine feet, eight feet...five feet.

"Die."
