Chapter 39: Absolute Kill Order

  Trembling! Violent trembling all over!

  Tansan never thought that someone would be so bold, not only threatening him in public but also taking action. If it were a more powerful master, it would be understandable, but the one who slapped him was just a young one-star swordsman who had just broken through. If this gets out, where would his nine-star sword emperor's face go?

  "Haitian!" Tanzan glanced at his disciple who was already out of breath, and then turned his gaze to Haitian, "Don't you fear that I will kill every single member of the Hai family?"

  "You wouldn't do that." Haitian shook his head confidently.

  Tansan was taken aback and blurted out: "Why?"

  "The reason is simple. Firstly, although our Hai family has been abandoned, we are after all a branch that split from the super powerful Hao tribe. If you exterminate us, you will have to bear their wrath. Secondly, don't look down on me just because of your superior strength, but you can't even catch me now, whereas I can easily find every single person in your Jianlan Sect."

  "Ah!" Tansan's breathing became more rapid, his eyes also becoming more bloodshot. He really wanted to kill every single person in the Hai family. But it wasn't that he didn't dare even if they fell into his hands now, let alone when they hadn't yet.

  "Earlier, I escaped from the small house you were guarding, so you should understand that now my presence is completely undetectable. I won't hide it from you, this is a new sword technique I've learned, called Introspection Technique. Under the Sword Sect, no one can detect my presence." Haitian held up his sword, confidently gazing at Tansan.

  When they heard his words, the disciples of Jianlan Sect around them were shocked and exclaimed. At this moment, they also discovered that if Hai Tian was not standing in front of them, they would not have sensed his existence at all.

  Tansan, who didn't believe in evil, released his sword spirit again and again, but the sword spirit responded that there was no one in front of him.

  "Is this sword technique the one recorded in the 'Nine Heavenly Divine Sword Manual'?" Such a mysterious sword technique, Tansan thought it was only possible to be from the heavenly-tier manual "Nine Heavenly Divine Sword Manual".

  "Do you think I'll answer you? Hurry up and release our Hai family members, or everyone in Jianlan Sect will die!" Haotian showed no interest in responding to Tansan, narrowing his eyes slightly as he gazed coldly at the crowd from Jianlan Sect.

  Upon hearing this, the low-ranking disciples of Jianxuan Sect became somewhat flustered and looked at Tansan with pleading eyes, they didn't want to die. Although their strength was slightly stronger than Haitian's, their mental state was far inferior and had already been intimidated by Haitian.

  However, Tanzan did not answer Haitian, but instead smiled lightly.

  "What are you laughing at?" Hai Tian furrowed his brow, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. The sword spirit energy inside him quickly gathered onto the sword in his hand.

  "Haitian, I must admit that you are extremely outstanding and have successfully cultivated the 'Nine Heavenly Sword Technique', but it seems like you've forgotten one thing." Tansan chuckled, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

  "What do you want to say?" Hai Tian's heart sank, he wasn't a fool, seeing Tansan's confident appearance, he understood that he might already have a corresponding plan.

  Tansan glanced at Haitian with disdain and coldly laughed, "Indeed, you've learned to conceal your aura, but have you forgotten that even if you hide your aura and prevent our sword intent from detecting you, our eyes can still see you? With your current strength as a first-star swordsman, do you think you can outrun us?"

  Before his words had even faded away, Tanzan suddenly shot out a sword of light from between his palms. The blue glow was so intense that it almost made everyone's eyes water: "Go die!"

  Everyone was shocked and shouted, accompanied by the cyan sword light, there was also a surging sword spirit power. Although Tansan had tried his best to condense it so that it wouldn't be released, but the little bit that leaked out still made those low-level disciples unable to withstand the enormous pressure.

  Tian saw Tanzan suddenly make a sneak attack, and Hai Tian coldly snorted. He had long expected that Tanzan would have such a move. However, he didn't care; indeed, his speed was not as fast as Tanzan's, the Nine-Star Sword Emperor, but what about his life-saving moves besides Intimidating Aura?

  His hands crossed together, shining out a piece of yellow light, Haitian's body directly sank into the ground.

  The blue sword light directly passed through the place where Haitian had stood before, hitting a large tree not far away, and instantly emitting a loud noise. The big tree was blown into countless wooden heads.

  Before long, the strong light gradually disappeared. Tansan opened his eyes wide and looked forward, but Haitian's figure was completely gone.

  "Where's Haitian? Where's Haitian?" Tanshan exclaimed, his eyes wide with fear as he frantically scanned the surroundings, but still couldn't find any trace of Haitian.

  "The master is indeed formidable, in an instant he has blasted that little guy into nothing but a pile of minced meat." A swordsman suddenly exclaimed loudly.

  Tansan glared fiercely at the swordsman: "Nonsense! The power of my attack was not enough to kill Haitian, how could it possibly blow his body into nothing but a pile of minced meat?"

  "Huh?" The swordsman patted the horse's leg, and his companions around him all had a look of wanting to laugh but not daring to, afraid of offending Tansan.

  Ke Lu glanced around and walked up to Tan Sang, saying: "Master, that kid just dodged past earlier and wasn't hit by Master."

  "Kor sword king really understands me, and he saw through it so quickly." Suddenly, Haitian's voice came from the left side of the forest.

  Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and immediately saw a cold-faced Haitian.

  Everyone was completely astonished, especially Tansan. His previous move had not been at full power, but even so, a direct hit from a One-Star Swordsman like Haitian would be fatal or at the very least cause severe injury.

  Does he look like he's been hurt at all now?

  "What's going on? How could he possibly move from one side to the other right under my nose?" Tansan was shocked in his heart, he would never have thought that there existed such a miraculous sword technique as the Five Elements Shift in this world.

  Before learning how to fly, Wu Xing Dun Shu is absolutely the best escape sword technique.

  "Tansan Zongzhu, I didn't think you were not only shameless but also so thick-skinned. The dignified Nine-Star Sword Emperor actually ambushed a small one-star swordsman like me. If this gets out on the Soul Sword Continent, what would happen?" Ha Tian gazed coldly at Tansan and his group, fortunate that he had learned the Five Elements Escape Technique, or else he might not have escaped just now.

  "How dare you insult me?" Tan San was completely furious, he had never been treated like a monkey before, and it was in front of his own disciples, which made him lose face to lead Jianlan Sect from now on.

  "Yah! I'll kill you!" Tansan roared, his body's sword spirit energy wildly circulating, and he didn't care about the many low-level disciples around him, as a surge of sword spirit energy suddenly burst out.

  A green sword tip quickly condensed in mid-air, and with a wave of Tansan's hands, the green sword tip flew swiftly towards Haitian's direction.

  "Bang!" A violent sound accompanied by a dazzling light, a fierce shockwave overturned many low-level disciples, only some Sword King-level experts could barely stand still.

  The tremendous explosive force blasted out many deep pits on the flat ground, and countless mud and gravel splashed onto everyone's faces.

  The bright light slowly dissipated, and Tansan gazed at everything in front of him. The figures on the sea and sky had completely disappeared. He couldn't help but burst into a wild, loud laughter: "Haitian, no matter how well you hide, you'll still die by my hands! Hahahaha..."

  "Is that so? King of Tanzania, I won't die that easily before you let my family go!" Just then, Haitian's voice suddenly entered everyone's ears.

  Everyone in Jianlan Sect looked back and saw Haitian standing behind them, her clothes clean and spotless, looking much more spirited compared to their disheveled state.

  Upon hearing the voice of Haitian, Tanzan's laughter came to an abrupt halt. He stared at the small figure behind him with a look of utter shock and shouted wildly: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! You should be dead, it's impossible for you to have survived!"

  "Is that so? But why am I still standing here just fine?" Haotian sneered, "Tanshan, hurry up and release my family members, or else the Jianlan Sect will disappear from the Soul Sword Continent!"

  "Little kid, you've got a big mouth! Let me, Zheng Nu, come and meet you!" With that, a Sword King-level expert walked out of the crowd, raised his sword and charged towards Hai Tian.

  Seeing this person being so ungrateful, Hai Tian coldly laughed and stood there motionless, with a mocking smile hanging at the corner of his mouth.

  "You think you can catch me when even the Sect Master couldn't? Is that possible?" Ha Tian snorted coldly, and before the Sword King could approach, his figure suddenly vanished from everyone's sight.

  Jian Tian suddenly disappeared into thin air, and not only the Sword King, but also Tansan and other Jianlan Sect disciples were stunned.

  "Tanshan Sect Master, I'll give you three more days. If my family members are not returned within these three days, I will start the Annihilation Order! I will kill every single person in the Jianlan Sect until they release them! Hahaha, let's see how much patience you have to play with me!" Haotian's voice suddenly came, but no one was seen.

  The crazy laughter kept echoing in mid-air, scaring those low-level disciples into constant trembling.

  Tansan's face turned iron-green as he stared at the sky, gritting his teeth and thinking to himself: "Absolute kill order? Hmph! Wait till they bring back the Hai family members, then I'll slowly settle the score with you!"

  "Get out, all of you." Tansan gave a cold command.

  Before they had gone far, the several Sword Kings he had sent out returned. One of them saw Tansan with so many people at the foot of the mountain and mistakenly thought they were there to welcome them, walking up front and laughing dryly: "Master, why are you still here to welcome us? You can just wait in the great hall."

  "Bullshit! Who would come to welcome you?" Tansan cursed, but he soon found that there was no one behind the disciples, and he hastily asked, "Where are the people from the Hai family?"

  "Huh? Return to Master, when we went there, the people of Hai's family had already disappeared without a trace." The sword king was scolded by Tansan and replied timidly.

  "What's going on?" Tanzania's voice suddenly rose, and people familiar with him knew he was about to blow up.

  "Yes, Master, when we went there was no one left, it seems they had already left a long time ago."

  "Pffft!" Tansan's face turned red with rage upon hearing this and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

  The disciples rushed up in a flurry, crying out in terror: "Master!" (or "Ancestors!")

  The few Sword Kings who had just returned were very puzzled. They hadn't caught anyone from the Hai family, so why did their master suddenly spit out blood?

  Perhaps seeing their confusion, Ke Lu walked out with a calm face and explained: "Just now, Hai Tian came and asked the master to release his family members. If not, he would make our Jianlan Sect disappear from the Soul Sword Continent."

  "Huh?"
