Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

"It seems..."

A slash born of sudden enlightenment, in that fleeting moment when he swung his blade, he vaguely realized something.

The Sword Intent of this crimson Cloud Saber was not purely that—there was also an insight he gained at that moment infused within.

It was precisely this sudden enlightenment that dramatically increased the power of his strike, instantly killing the Middle Realm Grandmaster Su Muchuan on the spot!

This was unexpected not only for Su Muchuan but for even himself, as he was astonished by the power of his own slash.

"This is from the sword mark on that slate..."

Song Changming recalled the feeling at the moment of his strike and drew a conclusion.

The so-called slate was, of course, the piece with a mysterious sword mark that Xi Yanxue gave him in the past.

Over the years, he had studied this slate no less than a hundred times, all to no avail.

Yet now, in actual combat, he seemed to awaken and subconsciously integrated the Sword Essence from the slate into his strike.

This was not coincidental; it was because he was right in the midst of a ’Potential Activation’ phase, making what was hard to comprehend before, possible today!

Unfortunately, the incorporation of the slate’s Sword Essence was just a fleeting moment, too sudden to grasp.

Even if he were to strike again, he couldn’t replicate the same Sword Essence as before.

There was indeed an element of chance in this.

Hence, Song Changming became somewhat anxious, wishing to take out the slate on the spot and study it diligently during the remaining time of his Potential Activation.

Yet the battle over with Prince Cui wasn’t over, leaving him no time to calmly study the slate.

After clearing his thoughts, he looked at the ownerless Heaven and Earth Ring and Purple Mansion Essence Blood floating before him, he exhaled a long breath and felt relieved—his revenge had to be swift.

With a large wave of his hand, he collected the Heaven and Earth Ring and Grandmaster Essence Blood.

"Changming, the Great King still needs you over there." Hu Tomb came back to his senses and immediately said to Song Changming.

If Song Changming were just an ordinary martial artist who had barely crossed into the Grandmaster Realm, to be honest, he wouldn’t have been of much help to them.

But since Song Changming just killed the Middle Realm Grandmaster Su Jichuan with a single strike, it was entirely different!

In Hu Tomb’s eyes, Song Changming now truly possessed the powerful strength needed to change the tide of battle, bringing a glimpse of hope for turning the tables!

"Alright." Without wasting words, Song Changming replied and transformed into a red light, stepping onto the clouds and departing.

"..." Hu Tomb watched Song Changming depart, his mind replaying the earth-shattering slash Song Changming had just delivered.

This slash left him utterly astonished.

"That doesn’t seem to be purely the crimson Cloud Saber technique..."

On the other side, the Fox Race, led by Prince Cui, erupted into a second battle with the Su Family, more intense than before.

One by one, the Great Demons of the Fox Race transformed into their Fox Demon forms, waves of demon power at their fingertips darkening the sky and changing the weather.

The old Grandmasters of the Su Family pressed forward with various methods, clearly not intending to prolong this battle.

The number of Great Demons in the Fox Race was already fewer than the old Grandmasters of the Su Family, and with Hu Tomb’s grave injuries causing him to exit, the situation became increasingly unfavorable.

It was almost solely on Xi Yanxue’s Nine-tailed Divine Fox bloodline that they managed to endure.

But this wasn’t sustainable; without reinforcements, their defeat was inevitable, and if the battle continued, not even their few Fox Race Great Demons might escape unscathed.

"Enough, Yanxue, you can’t keep going!" A Fox Race Great Demon clawed away two Su Family old Grandmasters, urging through sound transmission.

"You’ve done your best, and we’ve gone above and beyond; it’s time to leave!"

However, Xi Yanxue did not respond, still locked in fierce combat with the strongest Middle Realm Grandmaster of the Su Family, Su Xiang.

"Yanxue, you are the Nine-tailed Divine Fox, there’s no need to risk your life against these people now. Once your bloodline is fully developed and your Tao practice accumulated, no one in this world will be your match!"

"Preserve your useful body, don’t act on impulse, Yanxue!"

The Fox Race Great Demon tried hard to persuade her, finally causing hesitation to creep onto Xi Yanxue’s face.

She could see how difficult avenging the Su Family was today, but she was unwilling to leave just like that.

With Prince Cui leading the way this time, she had the opportunity to lead a group of Fox Race Great Demons to openly invade Cui Bai Dao and attack the Su Family.

If they retreated in defeat today, finding such a great opportunity to seek revenge on the Su Family again in the future would be incredibly difficult.

Just as Xi Yanxue was hesitating and anxious, from the distant sky, Song Changming came stepping on clouds, his long blade aimed directly at Su Xiang’s back.

"You brazen scoundrel! How dare you be so presumptuous!"

Su Xiang was furious, abruptly withdrawing from Xi Yanxue’s demon power, and with a palm, annihilated the incoming sword qi from Song Changming’s attack.

However, before he could retract his hand, the swift Song Changming was already upon him, launching another slash.

This slash wielded far greater power than the earlier sword qi.

Su Xiang, clearly sensing the astonishing power in the slash, did not underestimate it and responded to Song Changming with a longsword.

Clang!

In the clash of blade and sword, the master’s power in Su Xiang’s sword was significantly stronger than that of Su Jichuan.

Though both were Middle Realm Grandmasters, Su Jichuan had only cultivated sixteen drops of Grandmaster Essence Blood in the Purple Mansion, whereas the once-greatest Grandmaster of the Su Mansion already had forty-five drops of Grandmaster Essence Blood in the Purple Mansion.

It was precisely because of him stationed at the Su Mansion, that despite the Su Family ancestor wandering elsewhere in the past, Prince Cui hesitated to act outright against the Su Family.

If given more time, he might have had a chance to break through to the Late Grandmaster Realm in the future!

Song Changming recognized this person as the strongest among the old Su Family Grandmasters, thus he locked onto him as soon as he arrived.

Having decided to take action, he naturally aimed to tackle the hardest bone first, while also assessing his own true strength at present.

As for Prince Cui and the Su Family ancestor, two powerful figures capable of covering hundreds of miles in an instant, who knew where they had gone to duel at this moment.

In the direct confrontation, Su Xiang was forced back by half a league, frowning and glaring at Song Changming.

Although uninjured, at this moment, his qi and blood surged fiercely, and his Grandmaster body was numb, not as unfazed as he appeared.

He remembered Song Changming as the one who previously helped Hu Tomb escape halfway through, someone he hadn’t considered worth his attention back then.

Yet now, unexpectedly, this person managed to suppress him with a single slash!

"Who exactly are you?!" Su Xiang took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the roiling qi and blood within and asked.

"Uncle Xiang, you have just emerged from seclusion, so you may not know. This person is a Grand Marshal in the army and previously had a conflict with our Su Family. He is also someone that Prince Cui has strongly supported and cultivated over the years."

One of the Early Realm Su Family old Grandmasters immediately responded.

"A Grand Marshal in the army?" Su Xiang was puzzled, as this completely contradicted the information he knew.

"Wasn’t it said that the Hu Family lad was the only Grandmaster Marshal in the army, so how did this person come into existence?"

"This, perhaps..." That Su Family old Grandmaster was also at a loss for words.

Previously considered merely an Innate Martial Artist, who knew how he suddenly transformed into a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

"Uncle Xiang, could it be that this person has been hiding his cultivation all along? Even Mu Chuan, who went to deal with him, has not been heard from since." another old Grandmaster said seriously.

"Uncle Jichuan too..." another Grandmaster mused aloud.

As these words were said, the various Su Family Grandmasters, whether fighting or resting, fell into silence, realizing something was amiss.

Not to mention Su Muchuan, even his eldest brother Su Jichuan, a Middle Realm Grandmaster, seemed to have vanished without a trace!

Song Changming exchanged a glance with Xi Yanxue.

Due to the connection with Su Qingqing, Song Changming gained Xi Yanxue’s trust without needing to say much.

Mutually understanding, they decided to first join forces to eliminate this formidable Su Family opponent ahead.

As long as Su Xiang fell, victory would tip in favor of Prince Cui and the Fox Race.

Su Xiang’s expression also turned cold, looking at Xi Yanxue on one side and then at Song Changming, focusing entirely and without a hint of laxity.

One was the Nine-tailed Divine Fox who had become a Great Demon, and the other was Song Changming, whose strength defied conventional understanding.

The alliance between the two clearly posed a significant challenge for him.
