Chapter 25: Startled

er to jointly encircle and kill Su Bai-chen. As for the remaining few broken void realms of the Pang family, they will charge into the Su family mansion with everyone else, finding an opportunity to k......Huanghai Realm...

> More than three years ago, Su Xin had already been very close to this level. Unfortunately, something happened later, he was imprisoned in the Demon-Suppression Prison, delaying him for three years, his cultivation even fell. It wasn't until now that he truly stepped into this level.

In the Heavenly Flame Empire, True Martial Realm cultivators are as numerous as hairs on an ox. Only those who have stepped into the Sea Transformation realm can truly be considered masters.

"I've reached the minimum requirement for the Imperial Hunt preliminaries," Su Xin said, her eyes brimming with surprise.

He longed for the hunt in that imperial city.

"Congratulations, Young Master!"

Even Ye Luo, who had been silently guarding by his side, expressed his congratulations to Su Xindao while marveling at the turn of events in secret.

The young master of the family, he was already able to fight evenly against a Consummate Sea Transformation expert during his time in the True Martial Realm, even gaining the upper hand. Now that he has truly broken through to the Sea Transformation Realm, how much stronger will his power be

"Let's go back, Yae,"

Su Xin got up and smiled. Soon, the two of them mounted their horses again and headed towards the Su family home.

……

At the same time Su Xin broke through to the Sea of Transformation Realm.

Jun City, the Pang family residence.

"Brother Meng, do you know why the head of the house summoned us today"

I don't know, but I think it's not a small matter.

Two middle-aged figures walked side by side towards the grand hall of the Pang family.

These two individuals were both disciples of the Pang family and had already reached the Broken Void realm of cultivation.

As a powerful being from the Void Realm, the Pang family rarely needed to intervene personally in their daily affairs. However, since both of them were summoned today, it must be something significant.

Two people entered the meeting hall and saw that there were already quite a few people inside.

Besides the current head of the Pang family and several elders, there was also a one-armed young man from the Pang family sitting there.

Mr. Meng, Mr. Chang, please have a seat. Head of the Pang family, Young Master Pang Shaoqing, slightly raised his hand.

These two attendants bowed slightly and then sat down beside him.

Everyone is here.

Pang Shaoqing looked around at the crowd, his voice low and serious. “All of you present are the core powerhouses of my Pang family, the true pillars. The reason I gathered you all today is for one thing”

"Qingyu, you tell me." Pang Shaoqing looked at the one-armed disciple.

The one-armed youth's face was still pale. Hearing Pang Shaoqing's order, he gritted his teeth and stood up. "Two adults, elders, just a short while ago, the leader of the Liu Shui Gang in Dongyang City came to me, Pang family…"

The one-armed young man, Pang Qingyu, began to recount the events that happened in Dongyang City.

...he was only halfway through his sentence...

"What did you say"

"Su family's young master, but only True Martial Realm cultivation, fighting against your two brothers, one versus two, and even killing your eldest brother"

Several elders of the Pang family jumped up directly.

Even the two disciples who had broken through to the Void Realm were incomparably astonished, looking at Pang Qingyu.

In the Zhenwu realm, fighting across ranks was a common occurrence. He had once faced two opponents at the same time and even killed one of their brothers despite being outnumbered.

That's not all.

Pang Qingyu then said in a low voice, "Su Xin's sword was too terrifying. My brother and I didn't have time to react at all. My brother was killed instantly, and I... if it wasn't for Tie Yunshu's timely help, I'm afraid I wouldn't have just lost an arm.

And later, even Tieyun Uncle made his own move, but he was still only evenly matched with Su Xin, and even slightly at a disadvantage...

"How is that possible"

All the elder members of the Pang family present, including those two Void-Breaking Realm guests, were stunned.

Can a True Martial Realm expert actually gain the upper hand against a Full Completion Sea Transformation expert in a direct confrontation

Where did this monster come from

If it weren't for the fact that Pang Qingyu had indeed lost an arm, they would have suspected that Pang Qingyu was lying and shirking responsibility.

But if this were true...

"Master, this Su Xin, cannot be kept!!"

"Master, we must act swiftly and eliminate this child!"

"The True Martial Realm is this terrifying, what will happen when he breaks through to the Sea Transformation stage"

The tone of these elders from the Pang family was quite urgent.

They are indeed in a hurry.

"Please sit down," Pang Shaoqing raised his hand, signaling the elders to remain calm. "Qingyu, you continue."

Pang Qingyu then continued to recount the sudden appearance of the beggar boy and how he had killed Pang Tieyun with a single strike.

As for what happened next… he saw the situation was dire and fled, so he didn’t see Su Xin’s subsequent fight with the beggar boy.

"Those who killed my Pang family, that person, deserves to be killed!" an elder said through gritted teeth.

Pang Tieyun, having achieved a complete cultivation state of Huaihai, was also considered a core strongman within the Pang family. His death naturally caused outrage among the Pang family.

“As for the one who killed Tieyun, I will naturally send someone to investigate. If I find them, of course, I will have them executed to avenge Tieyun. But right now, our most urgent concern is Su Xin, that young master of the Su family!” Pang Shaoqing’s deep eyes moved slightly, and his low voice continued.

I had heard beforehand that the youngest master of the Su family had displayed extraordinary skill and talent in this year's family competition. Also, the mysterious figure known as "Jian Yi" who recently cleared the fourteenth floor of Zhenwu Pavilion is very likely to be this young master of the Su family.

However, this Su Xin had been delayed in the Demon Prison for three years after all. Coupled with the fact that his previous strength was not too outrageous, I didn't pay much attention to it. But now it seems... Su Xin's talent and potential are far more terrifying than I imagined!

“If the True Martial Realm can rival a perfected Sea Transformation expert, then what if he breaks through to the Sea Transformation Realm, or gives him some more time to reach the peak of the Sea Transformation Realm Wouldn't he be able to easily kill a Void Breaking Realm expert When he reaches the Void Breaking Realm one day, I fear that even if all of us join forces, we won't be able to stop him with a single sword!”

Moreover, with such an incredible talent, the Azure Dragon Pavilion couldn't possibly ignore him. Given the Azure Dragon Pavilion's past practices, they would very likely inform the Heavenly Flame Palace about his existence, leading to the Heavenly Flame Palace recruiting him directly.

"Tiān Yàn Gōng"

Young Master Pang's words shook the hearts of all the elder members of the Pang family present.

The Heavenly Flame Palace, the highest-ranking talent training camp in the Heavenly Flame Dynasty. It is a holy land for cultivation that all young disciples aspire to.

To enter the Tianyan Palace, there isn't just one path through the Imperial City Hunt. As long as you are sufficiently excellent and your potential is vast enough, the Tianyan Palace will find you in advance and specially recruit you.

Su Xin's revealed talent and potential left them in no doubt that he was worthy of the 'special recruitment' from Tianyan Palace.

And once Su Xin was recruited by Tianyan Palace... as long as no accidents happened halfway, then in the future at the very least, he would be a top existence among the Void Breakers.

And if Su Xin were willing to serve the Heavenly Flame Dynasty at that time, he could completely wield immense power within the Heavenly Flame Dynasty. At the very least, he would be a state governor, and dealing with the Pang family would be incredibly easy then.

"Our feud with the Su family, we can put aside for now!"

"I have no intention of destroying the Su family immediately!"

Only young master Su Xin from the Su family *must* be killed right now, immediately!

Pang Shaoqing roared in a low voice, his eyes were red. "I called you all here today to discuss how we can ensure that we kill Su Xin once and for all. Otherwise… if we fail even once and let Su Xin and the Su family become wary, it will be difficult to find an opportunity again in the future."

How can one kill Su Xin at once

Everyone present looked at each other and began to discuss.

First, Su Xin'en needs to be able to directly confront a powerful cultivator at the peak of the Huaihai stage. To ensure his death, it would require at least a cultivator at the pinnacle of the Huaihai stage or above to personally make the move.

As for the Void Realm…

Although the Su family and the Pang family have been feuding intensely over the years, both sides still exercised restraint. Most disputes would not involve those at the Void Breaking realm, as using a Void Breaking expert to assassinate the younger generation of the opposing family would first result in that Void Breaking expert being publicly ridiculed and scorned for disregarding their status.

Besides, doing so would definitely drive the Su family insane. The Su family would also mercilessly send Void Breaking realm experts to assassinate the younger generation of the Pang family. This back and forth would result in massive losses, so both sides had a tacit understanding. Unless they were truly pushed to their limits or had made plans for a final showdown, they wouldn't resort to such an all-out war.

Although Su Xin had posed a great crisis to the Pang family, he hadn't driven them to such a desperate situation yet.

"Patriarch, since we're aiming for a one-kill victory, with just our Pang family alone, unless a Void Realm expert personally makes a move, it's going to be difficult. It might be better to hire professional assassins, such as dispatching someone from the Three Kills Building," said an elder of the Pang family.

"The Three Killings Tower" Pang Shaoqing's heart skipped a beat.

That was the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty's officially recognized number one assassination organization. Its business spread throughout the entire dynasty. It was said that within the San Sha Lou, there were countless assassins and killers of all sorts. For any kind of assassination mission, as long as the San Sha Lou was willing to take it, almost none could not be completed.

Even those at the Nirvana Realm, even super strong experts like the Three Kill Building, seem to have once assassinated them.

"No

"

Pang Shaoqing shook his head. “San Sha Lou is actually controlled by the Imperial Court in secret, similar in nature to Chi Long Lou, just with different business dealings. The Tianyan Dynasty values talent above all else, so if we go to San Sha Lou and complete the mission of assassinating Su Xin, San Sha Lou will definitely investigate Su Xin thoroughly beforehand.”

When they learned of Su Xin's talent and potential, the Three Kills Building most likely wouldn't take on the mission. Even if they did agree to it, the conditions they would offer would undoubtedly be astronomically high.

All the elders of the Pang family nodded in agreement.

The San Sha Lou is secretly controlled by the Heavenly Flame Empire. This fact is no longer a secret within the empire.

"Master, if we are to send an assassin to kill Su Xin, I have someone in mind. One of the two attendants," Mr. Meng stood up at this moment, "That man is right here in our Yongning County, on Bai Shan Island."

"Whose island is this"

The elders of the Pang family were all startled. They already knew who Mr. Meng was talking about.

"Well, speaking of assassination skills, the one from Mount Bai Shan is definitely the first in Yongning County, and even within the entire Yunzhou region, he ranks high. He used to be an assassin for the Three Killers Pavilion. It is said that he has assassinated dozens of cultivators who reached the peak of the Huaihai realm, and he has even assassinated cultivators of the Po Xu realm, though he didn't kill them but seriously wounded them!"

If he made a move, he would have at least a 90% chance of killing Su Xin in one go.

"However, the man from Baishan Island is very temperamental and it wouldn't be easy to persuade him."

“Leave this to me,” Meng said with a smile. “I have some acquaintanceship with that man from Baishan Island, and if I’m being honest, he even owes me a favor. I’ll ask him, as long as the compensation is satisfactory, he shouldn’t refuse.”

"Very well then, I shall trouble Master Meng. " Young Pang's eyes lit up. "As for the payment, you tell him to name his price. As long as he can kill Su Xin in one go and remove this hidden danger from our Pang family, we will agree to any price."

No problem

Then Mr. Meng smiled and soon set off.

……

Two days later, late at night.

Under the cover of darkness, a figure moved like a ghost over the wall and entered the Su family mansion.

Passing by houses one after another, it made not a sound. Although the Su Mansion was brightly lit and heavily guarded with patrols throughout the night, even with several powerful Sea Transformation Realm experts secretly monitoring it, no one detected the presence of this figure.

He followed a map of the Su family's layout, which had been prepared for him beforehand, and dashed towards Su Xin's courtyard.

Although it was late at night and the maidservant Hongshan had already gone to rest, Su Xin was still practicing swordsmanship shirtless in the courtyard.

Oh!

That long sword swung, like the surging sea, as if it could encompass everything around it.

It can be seen that in just a few days, Su Xin's swordsmanship has improved quite a bit.

"As expected, after my cultivation broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm, both my swordsmanship and my comprehension of the artistic conception have noticeably improved. It feels much easier now," Su Xin chuckled.

After breaking through to the Sea Transformation Realm, a large amount of hidden bloodline power within him was unearthed.

Most importantly, the breakthrough in cultivation greatly enhanced one's perception and consciousness. Understanding and researching swordsmanship, including the comprehension of artistic conception, became much clearer and easier to grasp.

"Whew!"

Su Xin let out a light sigh, stopping his movements and relaxing his posture naturally.

Wiping the sweat from his body, Su Xin prepared to return to his room to rest.

But, just as his whole body relaxed and he turned…

A sense of unprecedented fear instantly filled him completely.

Every pore on his body stood on end at this moment!!

……ed Flying Blood. You can go and take a look," the Nine Stars Dao Master smiled."SwordsmanshipFlying Blood" Su Xin nodded slightly."Well, the advice I can give you for now is just that. Continue to cu...
