Chapter 15

"I didn't expect that this inheritance would be the famous Caozi Sword Art!"

Xiao Ning reviewed the information he had received, excitement shining on his face. He was very familiar with the Caozi Sword Art.

In the lore of "Perfect World," there are three major sword techniques, representing the pinnacle of attack and renowned as invincible techniques.

One of them, the Chaos-Calling Technique, was famous throughout the world.

It once halted a foreign invasion during the Immortal Ancient Period and brought peace to chaos!

The Caozi Sword Technique is another of these three great sword techniques.

It is invincible and, if mastered it can cut through time itself and glimpse eternity! During the Immortal Ancient Period, it was known as one of the three most powerful attack techniques.

Reflecting on the information about the Caozi Sword Technique, Xiao Ning grew even more excited.

With this technique, he would gain a powerful new killing move.

The Caozi Sword Technique could cut through anything, slicing through matter as easily as a magic weapon through mud.

Unlike the Chaos-Calling Technique, which forges the soul into a sword embryo, the Caozi Sword Technique tempers physical matter into a sword embryo, using arms, finger bones, and more to create indestructible weapons.

"It can be combined with the Immortal Sutra!" Xiao Ning realized.

With his powerful physical body as the sword embryo, the Caozi Sword Technique's effects would be maximized.

"If I had known that killing the Gallie family and the Oba family would lead to such gains, I wouldn't have hesitated at all," he thought, looking at the countless inheritance stars next to Emperor Huangtian's shadow.

Xiao Ning's eyes burned with determination.

To obtain all the inheritances of Emperor Huangtian, he knew he must be prepared for bloodshed.

"Perhaps it's almost time for me to leave Wutan City," he mused.

Possessing four thousand kilograms of divine power, even the strongest warriors couldn't withstand his random punches.

No one in Wutan City was his match anymore.

To gain the complete inheritance of Emperor Huangtian, Xiao Ning was destined for a path of extreme slaughter and killing.

Staying in Wutan City would only limit him.

"When I reach five thousand kilograms of divine power, I must leave Wutan City," Xiao Ning decided.

The Immortal Sutra required vast cultivation resources that Wutan City couldn't provide.

He needed to venture into wider areas to plunder and grow stronger, a journey inevitably involving more killing.

In the following days, Xiao Ning stayed in his room, meticulously comprehending the Caozi Sword Technique.

As one of the three major ancient attack techniques, it demanded his full effort and understanding.

As Xiao Ning immersed himself in the technique, rays of precious light emanated from his body, dazzlingly brilliant.

Ten Days Later

A beam of sword energy shot into the sky, and nine leaves sprouted around Xiao Ning.

These silver blades of grass, also known as sword leaves, gently flipped, cutting through space and capturing everyone's attention.

A powerful sword intent swept out from Xiao Ning's room, enveloping the entire Xiao family.

The sword's sharp and domineering aura was unmistakable.

The Mountain Behind the Xiao Family

In a narrow cave, flames in a medicine cauldron flickered wildly.

Xiao Yan who was focused on the churning flames. Suddenly felt a terrifying sword intent that swept through him, making his soul tremble.

Before he could even react, the flames flared up, turning the medicinal materials in the cauldron in pitch-black ashes.

"What was that?" Ignoring the wasted materials, Xiao Yan stood up, noticing Yao Lao's solemn expression as he emerged from the ring.

"Teacher, what was that just now?" Xiao Yan asked, recalling the soul-trembling sensation.

"I didn't expect your Xiao family would have such an expert!" Yao Lao exclaimed, still horrified.

The aura had even suppressed his soul.

He had tried to release a ray of soul power to investigate but found it immediately cut off.

"It seems I underestimated the Xiao family.

Despite its decline, it still has a strong foundation as one of the eight ancient clans," Yao Lao thought.

"Focus on making your medicine, you can't face such a strong person yet," he advised Xiao Yan, choosing not to explain further.

The hidden expert obviously didn't wish to reveal himself, and Yao Lao believed keeping this from Xiao Yan would encourage his growth.

Xiao Family's Backyard

"Miss, I didn't expect the Xiao family to have such a hidden expert.

Should we request the clan to send reinforcement?"

Ling Ying emerged from the shadows, addressing Xiao Xun'er.

The recent sword intent had even made Ling Ying, a Dou Emperor, feel threatened.

"Could he be the master behind brother Xiao Yan?" Xun'er pondered, shaking her head.

"No need,he must not have ill intentions towards us, or we wouldn't have stayed in the Xiao family for over ten years."

Bringing in more experts might lead to more complications and potentially draw her clan's attention prematurely, disrupting her mission.

Ling Ying nodded, retreating into the darkness.

"Brother Xiao Yan, you must grow up quickly,the time left for Xun'er is running out…" Xiao Xun'er murmured, gazing out the window.

Other senior members of the Xiao family sensed the sword intent but dismissed it as a fleeting anomaly.

Xiao Ning, unaware of the commotion he had caused, remained engrossed in mastering the sword technique.

As his understanding of the Caozi Sword Technique deepened, the sword intent surrounding the Xiao family gradually converged back into Xiao Ning's body.

Time flew, and another week passed.

Initially panicked by the two families' destruction, the Xiao family began to calm down as no further threats emerged.

Under Xiao Zhan's leadership, they swiftly took over the businesses and markets of the Gallie and Oba families, solidifying their dominance in Wutan City.

Outside Wutan City

An old man in a blue robe approached the city, his face ruddy but his eyes filled with sinister intent. "Xi'er, your master has come to avenge you personally!" he muttered with strong murderous intent flashing in his eyes as he read the words "Wutan City" above the gate.
