The red flag rolled up, a touch of blood rose, and then the blood surged like a tide.The killing intent swept through like the wind, as sharp as a knife cutting through the head.

    The loyalty, courage, fierceness, and prestige of the Xiji family for hundreds of years were all within it. s?a??h th? ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.

    But perhaps, it could only be seen in this flag.

    The people watching the battle in Qingyang Town couldn''t help but step back, except for Jiang Wang, who stood like a rock.

    The roaring blood sea surged, and Xi Zichu stepped on the waves, pointing forward with his right hand. A silver needle flew through the air, turning into countless silver lights halfway, converging into a silver dragon, pouncing towards Jiang Wang.

    And silently, flowers suddenly bloomed.

    The red ones were brighter than fire, the green ones like jade. The flowers were colorful and dazzling.

    In the roaring blood sea, a silent sea of flowers spread out.

    Silence overpowers a thousand roars.

    The silver dragon had just pounced, stirring up a shower of petals, and then...

    Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

    A series of explosions.

    The silver dragon struggled and wailed like a living creature, finally turning back into a silver needle and falling to the ground under the successive bursts of flames.

    The sea of flowers at this moment had turned into a sea of flames. It was powerful in itself, unlike before.

    It had been some time since Xi Zichu had made complete preparations and gone all out. But compared to when he killed Ximunan, Jiang Wang had become stronger.

    This was precisely the biggest reliance Jiang Wang had when he didn''t kill Xi Zichu on the spot. He was confident that no matter how fast Xi Zichu moved, he would be faster.

    The renowned Twelve Needles of the Eastern King, Xi Zichu had mastered the Broken Pattern, Breaking Formation, and Life-Saving Needles.

    The silver dragon was the Breaking Formation Needle.

    As a range-type Dao technique, the sea of flames was not a formation, but it had similarities.

    The Breaking Formation Needle pierced through the flowers, temporarily fixing the position of the sea of flames, allowing Xi Zichu to determine the direction.

    At the same time, he manipulated the Dao decision and held a blue bead in his mouth.

    The hallucinatory effect of the sea of flowers was due to a slight influence of toxins.

    Xi Zichu, who came from the Eastern King Valley, naturally was not afraid and easily dispelled the hallucinatory effect of the toxin.

    The sublimated sea of flames, with its alternating reality and illusion, could not be completely dispelled by breaking the hallucinatory effect.

    But it was no longer enough to affect Xi Zichu''s actions.

    Without the confusion of direction and the disturbance of the illusory flowers, he leaped forward, and in an instant, a silver light flashed from his fingertips, a life-saving needle!

    The life-saving needle was the most dangerous of the Twelve Needles of the Eastern King.

    As soon as the needle was released, it pierced Jiang Wang''s throat.

    Jiang Wang''s entire person shattered in front of Xi Zichu.

    Xi Zichu was shocked. This scene reminded him of Hu Shaomeng. It was Hu Shaomeng who had left him in Jiacheng with an illusion, preventing him from participating in the competition for the Qingyang Sheep.

    Where was the person?

    His thoughts raced, but it was too late.

    Behind him, in a yet-to-bloom sea of flames, there was a delicate little mirror hidden.

    Jiang Wang leaped out of the mirror, and the crown of thorns on his head flashed and activated the Tiger-Binding Technique!

    Xi Zichu''s figure froze in mid-air.

    And Jiang Wang had already moved from behind to the front, piercing his heart with a sword.

    The blood sea receded, and the flames withered.

    This scene was clearly reflected in the eyes of the onlookers.

    The colorful lights disappeared like smoke.

    In the last moments of his life, Xi Zichu did not look back.

    He stared straight at Qingyang Town, lost in thought for a moment.

    The people watching the battle made him feel like a stranger.

    The town, which seemed particularly desolate due to the plague, was also unfamiliar to him.

    Since the Xuan family had demarcated the veins, this small town had always been the territory of Hu Shaomeng and his son.

    Even if the Xiji family was unwilling, they could only agree to it.

    But in Xi Zichu''s heart, this had always been the Xiji family''s town, and the ones who came and went were just passersby.

    What did he think when he passed by here without entering?

    Dugu Xiao watched the look in the eyes of the young master of the Xiji family before his death, and strangely did not see his pain, but a lingering affection.

    The long sword was sheathed, and the body fell to the ground.

    Jiang Wang reached out and pulled up the carp-patterned red flag, rolled it up, and put it in the storage box, then walked towards the town.

    He casually ordered, "Bury him properly."

    Apart from the carp-patterned red flag, Xi Zichu had almost come alone.

    The battle with Xi Zichu was actually not in suspense. Jiang Wang just happened to test the use of the Red Mirror in battle, otherwise the battle could have ended even faster. Compared to Ximunan, Xi Zichu was weaker. With the decrease of one and the increase of the other, there was no reason for him to be defeated.

    This was not only understood by Jiang Wang, but also by Xi Zichu.

    But he still came. And he came alone, without bringing any experts from the Xiji family.

    In fact, he came here to seek death.

    The enmity of killing his father was irreconcilable.

    He fought with all his might, only to fulfill one obsession.

    Victory would resolve the enmity, defeat would extinguish his soul.

    But regardless of the outcome, there was no way out.

    For the plague that had harmed the entire country this time, both the Yangting and the people of the Yang Kingdom needed an explanation.

    Just one Ximunan was clearly not enough.

    It was necessary to cut off the future of the Xiji family at its source, with the family business declining and the death of a genius, only then would it be barely acceptable.

    If Xi Zichu did not die, the people of the Xiji family would not be able to leave the Yang Kingdom.The man had indeed offered his life and efforts against the plague as a sacrifice to secure a lifeline for the Xi family, to atone for the sins committed by Xi Munan.

    Yet, before the Yang Court could judge him, he had already judged himself.

    Once surrounded by luxury carriages, beautiful women, flowers, and strong wine.

    He had basked in the glory of his family, yet was shackled by it for life.

    He made his choice between the medical cultivators and his family, between vengeance and his family... and between himself and his family, he made the same choice.

    It might be seen as tragic or honorable, but in truth, it wasn''t all that important.

    Choosing to die on the path of avenging his kin was probably the only way he could preserve his self-respect.

    ...

    For Jiang Wang, he had given Xi Zichu enough time to arrange for his family''s future in exchange for Xi Zichu''s full commitment to fighting the Jia City plague. There were no debts or obligations, and they were unrelated.

    He respected the sacrifices Xi Zichu made for his family. But that was all.

    When it came to killing, he would still not be merciful.

    Xi Zichu had already been left behind in his mind, just like after every battle he had fought, he was silently reviewing the entire process.

    Identifying the mistakes he had made to ensure they wouldn''t be repeated. Exploring areas for improvement to make the next battle easier.

    Using the Sea of Flame Flowers as a cover to launch deceptive illusions was actually not very practical. The main issue was the safety when hiding within the world of the Red Adornment Mirror, because to activate the illusion, one must be inside the world of the Red Adornment Mirror, and the safety of the mirror itself was not guaranteed.

    He had enough confidence to defeat Xi Zichu, which is why he dared to hide within the mirror world and conceal the Red Adornment Mirror within the Flame Flowers.

    If he faced someone stronger, who could discover and shatter the Red Adornment Mirror immediately, he would be in trouble.

    Only when he could use the effects of the Red Adornment Mirror without entering its world would it be considered a real improvement in his combat abilities. Currently, the Red Adornment Mirror was mainly used as an auxiliary tool.

    ...

    Jiang Wang had just returned to his room, intending to continue the cultivation he had left unfinished, but was once again interrupted.

    It was Xiao Xiao, who ran over breathlessly: "Master, I don''t know why, but the people from the Four Seas Commerce Alliance are suddenly running away, not taking anything with them, just like refugees!"
