This time next year, it will be your anniversary

ivated to the peak of the Sea Transformation realm, Xia Mang had already reached his limits. Su Xin, on the other hand, had only just broken through to the completion of the Sea Transformation realm,...On the placid lake surface, Situ Feng and the bronze-skinned strongman, Blood Eagle Venerable, were still searching for the entrance to the hidden chamber.

Suddenly, both of them raised their heads, noticing something. They looked to the side, where an empty space was located. At the end of their sight, a figure was rapidly approaching.

"He's one of our strongest fighters, only at the Second Rebirth Realm" Blood Eagle Venerable looked surprised.

A being of the Second Step Nirvana, has it actually come all the way to Flamewater Lake on its own

"Two Steps Nirvana" Si Tu Feng was startled, "Could it be that Su Xin"

He immediately shook his head. "It shouldn't be. Su Xin just broke through to the Nirvana Realm, how could he enter the Second Step Nirvana so soon"

Although Si Tu Feng has been in the Fourth Realm this whole time, he is aware of some things that have happened within Jiusheng Mountain.

On the lake surface, two people calmly watched each other approach.

With the esteemed Blood Peng Venerable by his side, Situ Feng was also very confident.

As he drew closer, Si Tu Feng also made out the other person's appearance.

Though I don't recognize the face,

Si Tu Feng's heart skipped a beat.

Although Su Xin's temperament and appearance changed thanks to the Heiyunzhu, his physique remained the same. As for Situ Feng, who saw Su Xin as the greatest threat, he felt a strange sense of crisis the moment he laid eyes on him.

Before he could even speak, the cold young man in his gaze had already drawn his divine sword from behind.

"Drawing your sword" Blood Peng Venerable's eyes turned cold. "Where did this fool come from"

Don't even talk about the Qixuan battlefield; in any corner of the Eastern Desolate land, if the two sides meet and one side draws their sword first, it means they're going to fight!

And at this moment, Su Xin's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he gazed intently at the two people in front of him.

"That Si Tu Feng, he's only just broken through to the fourth step of Nirvana. It wouldn't be difficult to kill him. The Blood Peng Venerable beside him is more troublesome, though."

"Use that move!"

Su Xin thought, and instantly boundless blood clouds surged out wildly.

"Die!"

Then the Blood Peng Venerable roared with anger, preparing to strike Su Xin away. Suddenly, however, the boundless blood cloud swirled in.

"Blood Cloud Killing Array" Blood Peng Venerable's eyes narrowed slightly, he had already recognized it at the first moment.

The crimson blood cloud swirled wildly, instantly condensing into layers of bloody light curtains that enveloped him from all directions.

A terrifying sense of dread instantly coalesced.

"This...is the Killing Heart Hell" Blood Peng Venerable's face finally changed.

The Blood Cloud Killing Array is a terrifying formation with immense fame throughout the entire Eastern Desolate region, and its value is also extremely high.

Located inside the Jiusheng Mountain War Merit Treasury, if only outer members go to redeem it, they need a full 80,000 war merit points.

Among the many deadly techniques in the Blood Cloud Killing Formation, Killing Heart Prison is arguably the most terrifying.

If a Fourth Step Pinnacle expert uses their full strength to unleash the Killing Heart Prison, it is entirely possible to severely injure, and even have a certain chance of killing, a Fifth Step Nirvana Realm cultivator.

Whoosh!

Under the blood cloud's curtain, it was like a gigantic bloody cocoon, enveloping the Blood Peng Venerable completely.

"With my current abilities, even if I can't inflict serious damage on this Blood Peng Venerable by unleashing the Killing Heart Prison at full force, it won't be easy for him to escape from within. Su Xin smiled coldly."

He had long since learned from Youhoulou Venerable that there was also a Five Step Nirvana Venerable accompanying Situ Feng, but he still came to Yan Shui Lake alone to kill him. That naturally meant he was well-prepared.

...while relying on the Killing Heart Prison to trap the Blood Peng Venerable first, Su Xin's icy eyes, filled with boundless killing intent, immediately turned towards Si Tu Feng.

"Old dog Si Tu, this time next year, will be your funeral day!"

A sharp shout echoed through the void.

……

Everything happened too quickly.

Before Si Tu Feng could even sense the immense danger emanating from the opponent, Su Xin had already made his move, directly employing the Killing Heart Prison to ensnare Xue Peng Venerable.

"Not good!" Situ Feng's face changed drastically.

Blood Eagle Venerable, who was his backer, is now trapped and unable to help him.

"Master Situ, this time next year, it will be your death anniversary!" That sharp shout suddenly echoed through the void.

"Su Xin, he is Su Xin!!"

Master Situ Feng trembled. Although he didn't know why Su Xin's cultivation aura was at the second step of Nirvana Realm, nor did he understand why Su Xin's appearance and temperament had changed so drastically, Master Situ Feng was certain of his identity at this moment.

"Hmph, just a newly broken through Nirvana Realm. How could this old man fear you" Si Tu Feng gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with a cold gleam.

After all, he was a genuine Four-Step Venerable. As for Su Xin, he had only recently broken through to the Nirvana Realm on Mount Sixth Saint. The disparity in their cultivation levels was so vast that even if they met head-on, Situ Feng still had some confidence.

Boom!

Sistufeng also took action directly.

In his hand, he held a pitch-black stone staff. A faint eerie glow emanated from the staff, and the moment Su Xin approached, the staff was immediately swung at him.

A mighty wave of stick shadows descended, crashing down with overwhelming force and a terrifying aura.

And Su Xin, too, with a fierce sword strike.

A dazzling sword light, like a bolt of purple lightning.

At this very moment, Su Xin unleashed his full power to the limit... The bloodline power was fully activated, and the might bestowed by a physique comparable to a top-grade treasure, coupled with the 'Purple Blood' divine sword, a weapon of Dao artifact level in his hand, erupted completely!

The Blood Cloud Territory also exerted some pressure on Situ Feng.

Bang!

A deafening roar.

The Violet Blood Sword collided head-on with the black stone staff. The black stone staff trembled violently, and a terrifying power surged through it. Si Tu Feng's eyes widened in alarm, and his entire body was flung backward. As he retreated, a mouthful of blood gushed out from his mouth.

"Four Steps to Peak Power"

Si Tu Feng had just barely managed to steady himself, but his head was spinning.

Could it be

A newly broken-through, and quite a stir in Jiusheng Mountain, One Step Nirvana Realm expert, unexpectedly possesses the combat strength of a Four Steps Peak

"The Dao soldiers, he's holding a Dao soldier!!" Si Tu Feng stared in astonishment at the Violet Blood Divine Sword in Su Xin's hand.

Dao soldiers, those are powerful weapons far surpassing treasures in might, of extreme value. Many experts at the Fifth Step Nirvana Realm do not even possess a Dao Soldier.

"Take your death!!!"

With a single strike, Su Xin repelled Situ Feng, and without any hesitation, his figure continued its assault.

Si Tu Feng's eyes flashed a hint of madness, and in the next moment, *boom boom boom*~~~ An unparalleled, thick blood energy erupted suddenly. Si Tu Feng's two eyes, including his entire skin, turned crimson at this moment, like a blood-colored Asura.

And the true essence emanating from his body suddenly surged at this moment.

It used to only be at the threshold of the four-step Nirvana, but now it has directly soared to the peak level of the four steps.

"What is this" Su Xin frowned.

It wasn't because this Si Tu Feng suddenly used some kind of secret art to increase his cultivation.

But the methods he used felt very familiar to him.

Su Xin immediately recalled that a few years ago, when he was still cultivating in Tianyan Palace, he went to the depths of Xueji Mountain Range to hunt down monsters for his training mission. He ended up being chased by three people on the way.

The three of them initially had no reason to kill him, but in the end, when he unleashed the God-Annihilation Forbidden Technique and exploded with power, he ended up killing them all.

Su Xin remembered very clearly that the leader of the three men back then, a sinister young man, had used the exact same secret technique as this Si Tu Feng.

All of their eyes and skin turned crimson, even the unique aura they emitted was identical.

Su Xin had originally received a Blood Lotus Sacred Fruit from that seductive young man.

"The Blood Lotus Sect" Su Xin's eyes burned with even more murderous intent.

And relying on this secret technique, Situ Feng's strength improved a lot. When fighting with Su Xin again, he was not completely crushed, but the gap in their strengths was still very obvious.

Su Xin, whether it's power and might, or swordsmanship, is at the peak level of four steps.

However, this Situ Feng only had cultivation that barely reached the peak of the fourth step, and his skills were only ordinary. It was naturally impossible for him to be Su Xin's opponent.

"I'll just hold on for a while, until Xue Peng breaks free from that Killing Heart Prison!"

"Hold on, you have to hold on!"

Master Situ Feng seemed insane, his heart roaring and shrieking within him.

Blood Peng Venerable is his only lifeline. As long as he can survive in Su Xin's hands for a while and not be killed, when Blood Peng Venerable breaks free, Su Xin will have no way to stop him then.

It's inconceivable that we would give him a chance.

A layer upon layer of strange blood-colored crystals suddenly appeared above Su Xin's right hand, which was gripping his sword.

One of the three secret arts of Mount Jiusheng, Xingyun Hand, has already been used.

"Sigh... The Path to Huangquan!"

Su Xin unsheathed her sword.

This was the strongest sword technique from the Flying Blood Sword Art.

Under the blessing of the Starry Hand, this sword's power is even more terrifying.

As the sword light slashed towards him, Situ Feng's face also changed. He saw that this sword was extremely powerful and hurriedly swung his stone staff with all his might to block it.

As soon as they came into contact.

With a clang, the black stone staff in Situ Feng's hand was knocked out of his grip.

"Old Dog Situ, I'll escort you!"

As Su Xin made one advance, nine afterimages burst forth simultaneously.

A breathtaking, desolate sword light suddenly blazed into existence, then vanished in an instant.

It's like a blooming but instantly wilting flower, leaving behind only a fleeting moment of beauty.

Blood Flying Sword Art... A flash in the pan!

"I, I'm going to die"

Sithu Feng's eyes widened in shock, and a strikingly visible crimson sword wound had appeared on his neck.

His consciousness was beginning to fade.

But before he died, his heart was filled with resentment and unwillingness.

He really has tried his best.

When he learned that Su Xin was a True Dragon-level genius and had entered under the tutelage of the Sixth Mountain Master, he guessed this day would come. Therefore, from that moment on, he began to prepare.

He first joined the Blood Lotus Sect and offered all his accumulated treasures as sacrifices, raising his cultivation level to the Fourth Step Nirvana Realm. Afterward, he immediately summoned the Venerable Blood Peng to come with him to this Flame Water Lake to search for treasure. As long as they found the hidden treasure and obtained the treasures inside to offer as sacrifices, there was a chance that he could become a Fifth Step Nirvana Venerable.

He has struggled as hard as he could.

In the end, he still died at Su Xin's hands.

This Su Xin, but only just broke through to the Nirvana Realm, dared to come alone to the Fourth World Domain, and even came to this Flamewater Lake, in front of the Blood Peng Venerable, personally beheaded him.

If I had known, no matter what, I wouldn't have provoked the Su family back then.

Si Tu Feng was left with only regret, and his consciousness completely dissipated.

……!" The heavily armored middle-aged man glared coldly at Su Xin.Just as I was battling with Fairy Xia, he arrived. Although I saw Su Xin arrive, since his cultivation was clearly only at the peak of on...
