"Fine, if he ran, let him run," Li Xuan thought for a moment and then shook his head. Although they were from different factions, Li Xuan was unwilling to bully the weak.
More importantly, after Tian Ye appeared with the branch members, he had never shown any killing intent towards Li Xuan.
As Li Xuan spoke, his gaze shifted to the remaining seven people. The sight made the seven's skin crawl, clearly fearing that Li Xuan might fly into a rage and attack them.
"Whoa, a plane!"
Just then, the man who had been beside Tian Ye suddenly pointed upwards and said.
Li Xuan broke out in a cold sweat, feeling like his intelligence was being trampled on. And Tian Ye had just used that trick; how could his subordinate be so amusing?
"You all can go too. There's no point in staying here anymore," Li Xuan waved his hand at the seven, then his figure moved, continuing to swim upstream.
Time quietly slipped away, and Li Xuan swam upstream for several million more years.
Soon, a continent appeared in Li Xuan's sight.
"This is the Star Continent, but it has been annihilated in real time. Once, an unparalleled expert appeared on the Star Continent, named Qing. He should be slumbering within this Star Continent now," the voice of the Heavenly Dao Brush sounded in Li Xuan's mind.
"Is this Qing very powerful?" Li Xuan asked.
"Naturally. He once fought three Time Emperors alone and was undefeated. How could the ruler of the Star Continent not have some tricks up his sleeve? If it weren't for his nearing end of life, this person might have even taken another step forward," the Heavenly Dao Brush said.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, then his gaze shifted to the Star Continent. Below it, more than a dozen figures were flying through the air. Li Xuan glanced at them, and among them was Tian Ye, who had previously fled.
"It seems this Star Continent is also one of the rendezvous points for the Defying Heaven Organization," Li Xuan quickly understood, then with a thought, he instantly locked onto the group.
"Slash!"
Seeing more than ten people surround him, Li Xuan attacked directly. With a press of his finger, the Shi Sword instantly slashed out.
Boom!
With a roar, sword energy raged. As the sword energy dissipated, only Tian Ye remained, his face filled with horror.
One must know that among the fifteen people, there were not only fourteen Emperors of Time and Years, but also a Time Walker-level existence. Yet, under this single sword, they were all annihilated!
"You said you were running away, why did you bring people to hunt me down?" Li Xuan looked at Tian Ye and shook his head slightly.
Tian Ye's face turned pale, but then, as if remembering something, he became a bit more defiant. "Your strength has improved so rapidly, you actually have the power to kill a Time Walker. However, even so, there is an existence at the level of a Time Emperor on this Star Continent!"
Li Xuan smiled and said, "So, that's your reliance?"
Tian Ye was panicking internally. So many descendants of Qing had died, and yet there was no sign of him making a move. If he had known, he really should have run far away.
Hum.
Just then, a humming sound suddenly rang out. In the next instant, a figure rose from the ground and instantly appeared before Li Xuan.
Seeing this, Tian Ye was overjoyed. The person who arrived was the ruler of the Star Continent, Qing!
Li Xuan's expression became serious. After all, Qing was a renowned figure. Moreover, the oppressive feeling was palpable, even though Li Xuan maintained his indomitable will.
"You wish to go to the headquarters of the Defying Heaven Organization?" Qing asked Li Xuan, looking at him and then speaking slowly.
Li Xuan looked at Qing with some surprise and then nodded slightly. "The Defying Heaven Organization has already issued a warrant for me and has attacked me repeatedly. How can I just sit and wait for their next move? Besides, that's not my style."
Qing remained silent for a moment, then nodded. "I quite admire your character. However, as an honored guest of the Defying Heaven Organization, I cannot simply let you pass like this."
"I will only throw one punch. If you can withstand it, you may pass through this Star Continent unhindered."
"Please," Li Xuan said, looking at Qing with some astonishment. If it were anyone else, they would likely have attacked him long ago. Yet, Qing only intended to go through a formality.
"Be warned," Qing said, his expression becoming solemn as Li Xuan agreed.
In the next moment, Qing clenched his left hand slightly, and the world seemed to be seized by its lifeline, instantly falling silent.
Boom!
As Qing unleashed his punch, an invisible aura surged towards Li Xuan. The forces of heaven and earth rolled in like a mountain flood.
Li Xuan's expression instantly became grave. This punch carried at least tens of thousands of years of cultivation.
Feeling this, Li Xuan took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the Shi Sword.
"Myriad Swords Return to Origin!"
Li Xuan immediately activated the Shi Sword and unleashed a sword strike without hesitation.
Yin!
The sword hummed, and the sword energy in the sky transformed into countless spiritual swords suspended in the air. Then, under Li Xuan's command, the countless spiritual swords, led by the Shi Sword, lunged towards Qing.
Boom!
A terrifying shockwave erupted, and the sword energy blazed as bright as daylight. Under this shockwave, Li Xuan was forced back a hundred meters. As Li Xuan stabilized himself, Qing's gaze shifted towards him.
"This sword of yours, did you use your full strength?" Qing asked, looking at the faint sword mark on the back of his hand.
Li Xuan smiled and replied, "If I say I did, will you believe me?"
Qing also smiled slightly and said, "Since you say so, I naturally believe you. Since you have taken my punch, I will not stop you."
With that, Qing took a slight step back, clearly intending not to continue fighting Li Xuan.
"Thank you," Li Xuan nodded to Qing, then glanced at Tian Ye and moved instantly, continuing his upstream journey. In just a few breaths, Li Xuan's figure completely disappeared from the sight of Qing and Tian Ye.
"Lord Qing, you're just letting him go?" Tian Ye asked, still somewhat dazed.
Qing looked in the direction Li Xuan had departed and sighed, "Do you know the great karma this person carries? If he were truly killed, do you think the Defying Heaven Organization could survive? This time, the Defying Heaven Organization has truly stumbled upon a tough opponent."
