Chapter 1017: Liu Qianfeng’s Choice
Although the gap between the Acquired Emperor Realm and the Innate Emperor Realm is immense, almost insurmountable,
but still, how could a sword strike destroy an Emperor Realm master?
Is Liu Qianyun’s Acquired Emperor Realm just paper-thin? Or is Liu Zixuan not merely the First Heaven of the Innate Emperor Realm?
The sword sweep stunned all the Willow Association members present; they couldn’t fathom what happened.
Clearly, he was only slightly stronger than Liu Qianfeng back then; even though he was a genius, it was impossible to execute such a terrifying strike!
Thus, if Liu Qianyun was killed with one sword strike, wouldn’t Liu Qianfeng be unable to withstand two?
It’s important to know that among the Willow Association members present, only Liu Qianyun and Liu Qianfeng were the strongest; the others hadn’t even touched the threshold of the Emperor Realm.
The strongest couldn’t withstand Liu Zixuan’s sword, so what about the rest?
Aren’t they just lambs waiting to be slaughtered?
Instantly, many skilled members of the Willow Association felt flustered, unable to steady their weapons.
They were astounded and bewildered, but what was happening was clear to Shi Family’s Ancestor, Jiang Yunxuan, and others.
A typically achieved breakthrough to the Acquired Emperor Realm, though greatly differing from the Innate Emperor Realm, couldn’t achieve a one-hit kill.
But this kind of person like Liu Qianyun, back when Liu Zixuan was storming the Willow Association, only had the strength at the Imperial Realm Middle Stage; the fact that he broke through to the Acquired Emperor Realm in such a short time must mean he was nurtured by the Willow Association’s ancestor using elixirs.
How could someone created with medicinal vials possibly be a match for a person with genuine capabilities?
Just like a sheep wearing a wolf’s skin, how could it show off in front of a real wolf?
His death didn’t prove Liu Zixuan’s prowess but merely highlighted his fragility!
Of course, this sword was undoubtedly a crucial one.
It directly intimidated everyone, laying the foundation for Liu Zixuan and his team’s strong confidence to strike the Willow Association aggressively!
Creating a totally one-sided scenario.
With the Willow Association members looking defeated, Liu Zixuan’s side appeared even more brave and imposing!
As Tiger swung the Walking Tiger Fist, each punch landed, causing many to fall.
With each strike Xiao Hu hammered out, many painfully screamed and lost their lives!
In just a moment, all that remained was Liu Qianfeng alone!
Everyone raised their weapons in unison, pointing them at Liu Qianfeng.
Originally, with the Willow Association relying on numbers, they expected to at least withstand Liu Qianfeng, although not entirely victorious; at this moment, he was in utter despair, without any fighting spirit, standing ashen-faced, no longer wishing to resist further.
The battle was evidently clear.
Attempting any resistance would merely emphasize Liu Zixuan’s dominance! So instead, might as well wait silently for fate!
Liu Zixuan gestured, leading others to sheath their weapons, and approached Liu Qianfeng.
Liu Qianfeng watched him put away his weapon, his lips moved: "If you want me to help you, save it, I will never betray the Willow Association or the Celestial Dao Alliance!"
"Ruyan doesn’t want you to die," Liu Zixuan said solemnly.
Upon hearing these brief words, Liu Qianfeng trembled sharply, lifting his gaze to Liu Zixuan’s eyes, which showed a complex expression.
Clearly, it struck a chord within his heart.
No matter how cold or ruthless, he was still connected by blood to Liu Ruyan and the beautiful master.
Emotionally, Liu Qianfeng counts as Liu Zixuan’s father-in-law, and Liu Ruyan and the beautiful master’s father.
Logically, ever since storming the Willow Association, Liu Qianfeng hadn’t troubled anyone, nor had any direct conflict with Liu Zixuan.
So regarding Liu Qianfeng, whether emotionally or logically, Liu Zixuan wouldn’t kill him!
As for what decision he would make, Liu Zixuan wouldn’t interfere, speaking plainly, he had no desire to.
Just an Acquired Emperor Realm master, Liu Zixuan didn’t care enough to consider!
"I...I am sorry to them and also sorry to their mother!" Liu Qianfeng cried unconsciously.
Even ferocious tigers don’t eat their cubs, since the Celestial Dao Alliance and Liu Zixuan began battling, Liu Qianfeng always had a feeling of resistance because he really didn’t want to see scenes of battling his daughter.
But earlier he was the Willow Association patriarch, now just a pawn under the Celestial Dao Alliance!
Many things were simply beyond his imagination.
"I won’t kill you, nor will anyone on our side, you can do whatever you want, and we won’t interfere,"
Liu Zixuan changed his tone: "If you want to continue opposing us, you can find the Willow Association’s ancestor, but I think after you go, you’ll still just be a pawn; if you don’t wish to oppose us, you can leave freely, see Ruyan in Lingxiu Village, or find a place yourself."
After speaking, Liu Zixuan looked at everyone: "It seems the secretly trained people by the Willow Association’s ancestor aren’t here, we should change the battlefield!"
With that, everyone prepared to leave Willow Manor.
Before they could step away, Liu Qianfeng said: "They returned to the Celestial Dao Alliance’s headquarters yesterday, but there’s an underground passage here leading directly there. I can guide you or lure them over."
With that, Liu Qianfeng took a deep breath, walked to Liu Zixuan’s front: "Consider this the only thing I can do for my daughter as a father!"
"Lure them over," Liu Zixuan considered and said.
Comparatively, they were not familiar with the situation at the Celestial Dao Alliance headquarters, recklessly going might not be as smooth as here, whereas Willow Manor they were familiar with, luring them over was undeniably the best method.
Liu Qianfeng nodded, returned to the hall, and soon a deep clock sound echoed inside.
When Liu Qianfeng exited again: "This clock sound was personally set by the ancestor, once a major enemy arrives, they’ll bring reinforcements!"
"And you?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"You’re right, if I went to headquarters, I’d still be a pawn, but I don’t have the face to find Ruyan anymore, these years, I’m truly tired, want to find a place... to relax!"
After speaking, Liu Qianfeng walked outside, the former patriarch’s imposing manner long gone, conversely his solitary departure added much desolation!
Liu Zixuan raised his brow: "Upon hearing the clock sound, the Celestial Dao Alliance headquarters will surely bring their strongest people over, not many will remain, Yunxuan and you, Tiger, head to the Celestial Dao Alliance headquarters’ gate, and call Gu Yu to inform the insiders, it’s time to overthrow the Celestial Dao Alliance!"
"What about your side?" Jiang Yunxuan furrowed his brows.
"This is the main battlefield, I need to be here personally, after finishing things there, come back here!" Liu Zixuan said.
"Alright!" Jiang Yunxuan and Tiger simultaneously nodded and walked in another direction.
Both had already become Innate Emperor Realm masters, and with the prior insider arrangement at the Celestial Dao Alliance, it was enough to accomplish many things...
