Ninth Level Origin Return Realm

"Buried with you...? What do you mean? Explain yourself clearly!"

Hearing Zhang Kai's words, Li Qingyi suddenly felt a wave of unease.

Setting aside her breathing regulation, she casually picked up a longsword from the ground.

Without courtesy, she thrust it into Zhang Kai's remaining arm.

In front of Master, she was gentle and mild.

But when dealing with enemies, Li Qingyi was no merciful bodhisattva!

"Cough... telling you won't hurt!"

"At this moment, there's still an Origin Return realm elder from my Sevenfold Echo Sect stationed in the imperial palace. Otherwise, why do you think the emperor hasn't appeared?"

"Now that you've killed my Sevenfold Echo Sect elder and crippled me, the first among True Disciples, hmph, your Li family... is completely finished!"

"You damned bitch, ptui!"

Zhang Kai glared hatefully at the stunning face before him that men found irresistible.

At this moment, his heart held no trace of infatuation, only towering hatred.

It was all this damned woman's fault for destroying everything he had!

"Clang...!"

A sword flash appeared, and a line of blood manifested on Zhang Kai's neck!

His eyes were full of resentment, his vision gradually blurring as he died.

Li Qingyi's face was cold as frost as she casually threw the sword aside, but worry arose in her heart.

According to what this fellow said, there was still an Origin Return realm expert from the Sevenfold Echo Sect lurking in the capital.

Now that the trump card Master had given her was exhausted, how should she respond?

"Qingyi, you should leave quickly."

"If you can achieve success in cultivation in the future, just avenge our Li family..."

After pondering for a moment, Li Haiguo stepped forward, looking at his daughter with a calm tone.

Hearing this, Li Qingyi frowned.

Before, she would definitely face life and death together with her father.

But now, she was Master's disciple.

If she died here, wouldn't that betray Master's careful cultivation?

Thinking of this, Li Qingyi's heart was filled with conflict.

"Father needn't say more. Today I'm still a Li family member. We'll talk about other things after the Li family overcomes this difficulty."

Li Qingyi's eyes gradually became determined as she shook her head with a self-mocking smile.

She hadn't expected to have such a cowardly moment, thinking of fleeing before even facing the enemy.

If she really fled, where would Master's dignity be?

Where would Tanxuan Peak on Longkou Mountain's reputation stand?

Even if she died, she wouldn't let Master lose face!

"This..."

Li Haiguo was slightly stunned and wanted to persuade further, but suddenly his expression changed dramatically as he turned toward another direction!

There... a menacing figure was rapidly approaching with overwhelming pressure!

"Hmph! What audacity you have!"

"Within the Anluo Imperial Dynasty, someone dares to kill my Sevenfold Echo Sect members!"

"Ants seeking death!"

The newcomer's aura was overwhelming. Though still three li away, his roar was deafening.

His cultivation had reached the ninth level of Origin Return realm!

Terrifyingly powerful!

In an instant, that person was already hovering above the Li family, looking down at everyone.

Like examining a flock of sheep awaiting slaughter.

"Speak... who was the killer?"

"Forget it, no need to say. Just kill them all!"

"You ants can all be buried together!"

"Sevenfold Echo Killing Seal!"

Without waiting for the Li family's response, the Origin Return realm elder flew into a rage and unleashed a killing divine ability.

A hand that blocked out the sky appeared from nowhere, with rolling pressure that made all Li family members nearly unable to stand.

As that enormous killing seal fiercely slapped down toward the Li family!

"Rumble...!"

With the Origin Return realm elder's palm strike, the Sevenfold Echo Killing Seal carried thunderous momentum, pressing down directly toward the Li family residence!

The Li family's younger generation, just feeling that terrifying pressure, had already collapsed on the ground, unable to move.

The enormous cultivation gap prevented them from even generating thoughts of resistance.

Even Li Haiguo, the Li family head at the ninth level of Profound Mystery realm,

Facing an Origin Return realm expert's Sevenfold Echo Killing Seal, could only grit his teeth and endure, his spine bending more and more...

"Too terrifying. Is this the strength of a ninth level Origin Return realm expert..."

"Wonder if Fairy Li can manifest that heaven-defying treasure again?"

"If there's no more such treasure, she'll probably turn to dust under this palm today!"

"Sevenfold Echo Sect experts truly aren't something we can contend with..."

"Their sect master even has Nirvana realm cultivation—what a terrifying existence that must be?"

"The Li family is probably... finished this time!"

Within Anluo City, various factions were secretly watching this battle.

Seeing the Li family about to be destroyed, many families could no longer restrain themselves and were ready to move.

Obviously planning to strike immediately after the Origin Return realm elder annihilated the Li family.

To plunder the Li family's assets in Anluo City!

Especially the Wang and Li families!

These two families thought they'd have to compensate the Li family with enormous resources after this, severely damaging their foundations!

But now it seemed the situation had changed, and both family heads felt a trace of luck...

As long as the Li family was destroyed by this Sevenfold Echo Sect expert,

Their two families would suffer no losses and would actually profit greatly!

Meanwhile, Li Haiguo looked at Li Qingyi with a hint of hope in his eyes.

But he found Li Qingyi also showing a resolute expression—it seemed she no longer had life-saving methods like before.

"It seems our Li family... is truly finished this time..."

Li Haiguo smiled bitterly.

Facing the Sevenfold Echo Killing Seal about to fall on their heads, he desperately closed his eyes.

Boom...!

Accompanied by a thunderous roar!

A handprint several zhang deep appeared on the ground around the Li family residence!

Everyone thought the Li family had been annihilated under this Origin Return realm expert's palm strike.

However, this wasn't the case.

At this moment, all Li family members looked at each other in disbelief that they had survived.

Finally, everyone's gaze focused on the sword talisman floating in the void before Li Qingyi...
