Afterimage, in the hearts of ordinary cultivators like Liu Qiguang, is a technique that can only be perford once one reaches the Heavenly Rank Third Realm and masters that special Sky Power.
Even among so strong practitioners who've reached the Heavenly Rank Third Realm, it's not certain they can truly execute an afterimage. After all, many people are not skilled in speed; if their speed doesn't reach an extre, even possessing an afterimage would be instantly seen through, failing to confuse the enemy.
The afterimage demonstrated by Yun Xiao in front of them was not only extrely realistic, but even after Liu Qiguang struck it, there was a hesitation of a single breath before he realized what had happened. One could only imagine how deceptively real it seed!
Even the two individuals hiding in the distance and secretly observing, Lu Liancheng and company, couldn't help but flash a hint of shock in their eyes, thinking to themselves that with such a realistic afterimage, even if it were them, they might not have been able to escape being deceived, taken by surprise.
In fact, what Yun Xiao left behind wasn't an afterimage created by invoking Sky Power and reaching his speed to an extre; it was rely a shadow clone left by a special body ridian technique.
However, this shadow clone, compared to a true afterimage, was undoubtedly more capable of deceiving others. He had used this thod more than once, leaving opponents helpless, eventually turning defeat into victory.
"Be careful!"
In the field, when Liu Qiguang realized it was only an afterimage, his reaction was extrely quick. Although he did not know where the opponent's true body had moved to, feeling uneasy, he directly shouted a warning.
Swish!
Unfortunately, Liu Qiguang's warning ca a bit too late. Just as his voice fell, in front of one of the Liu Family Elders appeared a dark light that wasn't too obvious in the dark night.
If Liu Yu and Liu Gen, who died by Yun Xiao's hand, were here, perhaps they would loudly remind this Liu Family Elder to let him know that dark light must not be received.
Unfortunately, just like the Dragon Taming Sword and the earlier shadow clone, they both had a power to beguile. When that Liu Family Elder saw it was just an unremarkable wooden sword, his decision was no different from Liu Gen's back then.
However, the weapon that this Liu Family Elder drew from his Waist Storage was different from Liu Gen's Wolf Fang Club; surprisingly, it was also a three-foot green light long sword.
"Hmph, such a crude, inferior wooden sword, how could it possibly be a match for my Earth Rank Middle Level weapon?"
This Liu Family Elder, who managed the Liu Family's finances, was known to be the most affluent on ordinary days. Surprisingly, he had acquired an Earth Rank Middle Level weapon. In his view, as long as his sword's sharpness touched that wooden sword, it would surely slice it into two pieces instantly, wouldn't it?
Chirp!
In the self-assured gaze of this Liu Family Elder, the wooden sword and Earth Rank Low Level long sword finally made contact. A light sound followed, and many Liu Family Elders saw a light fragnt flying off.
"As expected of an Earth Rank Middle Level treasure sword!"
In the hearts of these Liu Family Elders, that flying piece must have been a fragnt of Yun Xing's wooden sword being cut off. After all, they all knew that what the Liu Family Elder held was indeed a genuine Earth Rank Middle Level weapon.
"Sothing's wrong!"
Perhaps only the Liu Family Master, Liu Qiguang, judged from the color of that light piece that it didn't seem to co from Yun Xing's wooden sword. If that was the case, then the truth is...
Chirp!
Just as everyone hadn't yet collected their thoughts, another light sound resonated. The Liu Family Elder holding the Earth Rank Middle Level weapon showed an expression of absolute disbelief in his eyes.
Only then did everyone finally see clearly that the wooden sword, held by Yun Xing's black-clad figure, was unexpectedly unscathed, while the Earth Rank Middle Level weapon in the Liu Family Elder's hand had sohow shortened—a result of the light piece that had flown out earlier being sliced off.
Bang!
However, in the next mont, none of the nurous Liu Family Elders had the mind to worry about the fact that their Earth Rank Middle Level weapon had been sliced, because the head of that Liu Family Elder, full of horror, was forcefully severed. The head separated from the body, soaring to a height of dozens of feet into the air.
The blood spraying from the Liu Family Elder's neck was like a fountain, making everyone realize that under that mysterious wooden sword, not only was the Earth Rank Middle Level weapon unable to withstand in the slightest, but even the Liu Family Elder's head was sliced off in an instant.
"Dammit, what exactly is that weapon!"
No matter the situation, it was only when soone suffered a huge loss under the Dragon Taming Sword that people paid serious attention to this unassuming wooden sword, much like the current Liu Family Master and nurous Liu Family Elders.
All the people knew that the weapon in the hands of the Liu family elder was of Earth Rank Middle Level, such a weapon not even Liu Qiguang had. It was secretly acquired by the elder in charge of finances.
Yet such a powerful weapon couldn't even endure a single round against that wooden sword and was forcibly cut off a segnt, finally flying off with the head.
So, that wooden sword is probably at least at the Earth Rank Advanced weapon, and may even be a Heaven Rank weapon, otherwise, it couldn't possibly possess such powerful might.
"Heaven Rank weapon..."
Considering this possibility, Liu Qiguang seed to even temper his hatred, thinking if he could obtain this possible Heaven Rank weapon, how much his strength would improve?
Moreover, this wooden sword is so deceptive, if it is unleashed in a surprise against so high-level strong ones, it could potentially reverse the situation instantly, right?
At this mont, Liu Qiguang mocked his opponent's foolishness in his heart. If such a wooden sword targeted him, the Liu Family Master, he might not react imdiately either.
By chance, this guy nad Yun Xing evaded his strike, only attacking a Liu family elder. While instantly taking the Liu family elder's life, the power of this suspect Heaven Rank weapon wooden sword is no longer a secret.
The reason why weapons have not beco the mainstream of cultivation on the Continent is that they are rely external tools. A Mortal Realm Third Stage with an Ancient Divine Artifact is probably no match for a Spiritual Rank Three Realms powerhouse, right?
A sharp special weapon like this can only shock the opponent once. Now, the facts are clear, does he think the remaining Liu family elders will be as unprepared as that Liu family elder?
In Liu Qiguang's view, whether it's the previous Ice and Fire technique, the so-called clone afterimage, or this surprise One Strike Life Stealing, the opponent is rely taking advantage of tricks.
Such a thing is feasible only once. Once people figure it out and take precautions, he can only face them directly. No matter how sharp the weapon is, as long as one doesn't touch it, it has no usefulness.
After discovering it might be a Heaven Rank weapon, Liu Qiguang's mind had changed a lot. After all, the dead cannot be brought back to life. As long as there is enough strength, rebuilding the Liu family is not difficult.
Especially since there are four people here, including Liu Qiguang, a Origin Seeking Realm Middle Stage powerhouse. He doesn't believe after the opponent has exhausted all their ans, they can still stir up trouble.
However, Liu Qiguang assud the opponent exhausted their ans, yet Yun Xiao's techniques were just the tip of the iceberg. So the next mont, when he saw Liu Qiguang rushing towards him again, he slightly lifted his right arm holding the Dragon Taming Sword.
Seeing this movent of the black-clad figure, the pointed Liu family elder felt a chill down his spine. Although he believed he wouldn't instantly beco an ice statue or a pile of ashes like those Peak of Qi Seeking Realm mbers, this guy was too mysterious. Who knows what other tricks he has?
Swoosh!
Facts proved Yun Xiao at this mont wielded sothing entirely new. From his right hand, there burst forth a streak of blood-red light, this light's color, similar to the mouse-shaped vein demon from earlier.
However, regarding that earlier fire-red mouse-shaped vein demon, the mbers of the Liu family didn't pay too much attention because they all could sense that the fire-red mouse was rely a Seventh Rank Advanced vein demon.
Thus, seeing the fire-red light rushing towards him, the Liu family elder wasn't overly worried, thinking to himself if it's another Seventh Rank Advanced vein demon, with his Origin Seeking Realm Early Stage strength, he could not only easily fend it off but even completely kill it.
This Liu family elder had a clear plan, but sotis a mistaken assessnt of the situation could cost them their life.
The fire-red light flashed by, and as it was just within a scant few feet of the Liu family elder, he finally saw it was seemingly a small fire-red bird with wings.
This small fire-red bird seed rather thin and weak. Besides a faint wisp of fla around it exuding a trace of fire attribute aura, it looked much like a sparrow.
Due to preconceived notions, this Liu family elder instinctively regarded this small fire-red bird as the sa Seventh Rank vein demon as that mouse-shaped vein demon and imdiately gathered all his ridian Qi to compete with the fire-red bird.
"Quick, get out of the way, don't take that head-on!"
The Liu Family Master Liu Qiguang naturally reacted quicker, but when he discovered so clues and voiced his warning, it was already a tad too late.
Chirp!
Whether Liu Family Master Liu Qiguang and the other two Liu family elders, or Lu Liancheng and the others observing from afar, all heard a light sound. Then a flash of a red shadow was already piercing through the chest of that Liu family elder.
All this happened in an instant, from Yun Xiao releasing the fire-red bird to the Liu Family Master issuing his warning, almost just the ti of a single breath.
