"Ancestor, you must kill him!"

Ge Qiulin's eyes shone as he watched the terrifying figure drop from the rafters. There were five Longevity Realm Experts in Hua Shui City, and his Ge family's Ancestor was one of them. For the Ancestor to kill someone, it would be a simple matter. What's more, this was a sneak attack.

Su Xuan is a dead man! Ge Qiulin was convinced.

The reason he needed Su Xuan dead was simple. He believed his son's death and the sudden reversal of his family's fortune were too closely connected. They had to be Su Xuan's doing.

The family is in decline whether I kill him or not. So, I might as well kill him.

"Kill him! Kill him!" Ge Qiulin couldn't help but roar, his voice strained.

But then, the unexpected happened.

The very instant the Ancestor's shadow fell over Su Xuan, he vanished without a trace. When he reappeared, he was already outside the door, as if he had teleported.

"Young man, you truly are impressive!" The Ge Ancestor landed and locked his gaze on Su Xuan. He started walking toward Su Xuan, who stood in the courtyard, and spoke in a hoarse voice, "To think one so young is also a Longevity Realm Expert. It seems Hua Shui City will soon have a sixth expert to add to its five!"

"I just entered the Longevity Realm," Su Xuan shrugged.

In truth, I noticed someone on the hall's rafters long ago. It wasn't because I sensed his presence beforehand; a Longevity Realm Expert can conceal their aura so perfectly that it's impossible to detect. I simply saw a dangerous aura lurking up there with my own eyes! Ever since my eyes mutated, I've been able to see all sorts of astonishing things. I'm also grateful for that last system reward. It strengthened my body again, and unlike the first two stingy stages, the third stage's enhancement was extremely generous. I can feel that my physical body has also reached the Longevity Realm. Before this, my body was only at the Heaven Severing Realm. That's why I was able to unleash such terrifying speed, creating the illusion of teleportation. It was just speed taken to an extreme. I'm also so thankful for this power-up. Otherwise, that strike from the Ge Ancestor… I'd be dead.

"Ah, you scared me to death," Su Xuan said, raising an arm to wipe his forehead, which was completely free of cold sweat. He put on an expression of delayed, simple-minded shock.

Ge Qiulin and the Ge Ancestor exchanged a look.

Damn it! You teleported out of there so calmly and casually! Not a single hair on your head was touched! What the hell are you pretending to be scared of?!

"Ancestor, the Ge family has suffered a sudden catastrophe! Yu Ze is dead and our estate now belongs to another! This Lu Dachun cannot be allowed to live!" Ge Qiulin immediately shouted.

"You don't have to tell me!" The Ge Ancestor's withered body trembled. He stomped his foot, shattering the floor tiles beneath him. As stone fragments flew in all directions, his figure blurred into a beam of light and shot toward Su Xuan with terrifying momentum.

At the same time, the Ge family servants, who had just been bowing their heads to Su Xuan, now drew sharp weapons from their waists, ready to swarm him. Their earlier display of respect was, naturally, an act.

"The Longevity Realm really is something else," Su Xuan remarked as he watched the Ge Ancestor close in on him in an instant. His combat power surpassed that of all of Su Xuan's previous enemies. He raised a hand to counterattack, but in a fraction of a second, he hesitated, unsure of what move to use.

I can't reveal my true identity! If I use techniques I've used before, someone could trace them back and implicate the Floating Cloud Sect and the Spirit-Taming Sect! Then…

A smile played on Su Xuan's lips. He suddenly took a step to the side and assumed a stance.

It was none other than Ruyi Tai Chi.

"Die!" Seeing Su Xuan's stance was plain, even clumsy, the Ge Ancestor barked, his hand chopping down like a blade aimed straight for Su Xuan's throat.

SMACK!

With a speed that defied the eye, Su Xuan suddenly grabbed the Ge Ancestor's wrist. In a single fluid motion, he pulled him in, redirected his momentum, and then flung him away.

WHOOSH!

Like a puppet in the hands of a child, the Ge Ancestor tumbled through the air twice before being thrown high.

CRASH!

His withered body smashed the plaque hanging over the main hall's entrance.

But the Ancestor was a Longevity Realm Expert, after all, and his reactions were astonishing. Before his body even hit the ground, he slapped the air, adjusting his direction in mid-flight to lunge at Su Xuan once more.

"When you get old, you should retire. Stop getting into fights," Su Xuan muttered to himself, clenching his right fist and punching out at the Ge Ancestor.

The Ge Ancestor flipped his wrist. A cloud of red mist instantly spread from his palm, from which a long spear rapidly materialized. Gripping the spear, the Ancestor intended to pierce not only Su Xuan's fist but his entire arm and body right through.

But in the next second, something he could never have imagined happened.

CRACK!

A crisp sound rang out.

Without using any techniques and relying solely on his physical power, Su Xuan smashed the spear with one punch. He then followed up with another blow, landing it right on the Ancestor's right eye.

BAM!

The punch landed squarely.

The Ge Ancestor's head snapped back. He fell heavily to the ground, his legs twitched once, and then he lay motionless.

A one-punch knockout.

Su Xuan had actually taken out the Ge Ancestor with a single punch. And he hadn't used any fancy moves, just extremely simple, direct actions.

Ge Qiulin's mouth and eyes were wide open. A gurgling sound escaped his throat, but he was too shocked to utter a single word.

THUD!

Suddenly, Ge Qiulin's knees went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Young Master Lu, haha, I was just joking with you earlier!" he babbled, his laugh sounding more like a cry. "My family's estate was hard-earned, and I was afraid you wouldn't be able to protect it, so I had the Ancestor test you! I see now that you are simply incredible! With the Ge family's estate in your hands, I can rest easy. Haha, I am completely at ease!"

CLINK! CLANG!

The household servants also dropped their weapons, kneeling in a large group on the ground.

In the entire Ge family compound, only Su Xuan was left standing.

Oh, and the white horse. It also stood, haughtily stretching its white wings.

"Old Ge, is that what you really think?" Su Xuan suddenly took a step toward Ge Qiulin.

Ge Qiulin's body trembled at the sight. Still on his knees, he scrambled backward in terror. He subconsciously assumed that Su Xuan, furious about the assassination attempt, was about to finish him off.

"Young Master Lu, please show mercy."

Just then, a clear and melodious voice called out. A petite and lovely girl who looked somewhat frail walked into the Ge family courtyard.

Su Xuan turned to glance at the girl.

He recognized her.

It was the young lady from the Su family he had seen in the line at the bank.
