Ancestor Xuanyuan, though currently just a remnant shadow left behind for the sake of inheritance, was not someone a small fry like Qin Luo could casually humiliate!
Especially!
"Ten Thousand Demon Banner!"
Ancestor Xuanyuan, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, glared fiercely at the Ten Thousand Demon Banner before turning his gaze to Qin Luo... and then to Su Muwan behind him. He coldly rebuked, "I never thought that such an evil artifact would still be forged after ten thousand years!"
"Young girl, what a cruel heart you have!! You actually let your subordinate become a vessel for this evil artifact!"
The Ten Thousand Demon Banner was an uncontrollable evil artifact, wrapped in malevolent energy.
Thus, Ancestor Xuanyuan concluded that Qin Luo before him was merely an empty shell, already controlled by the Ten Thousand Demon Banner.
And the mastermind behind this...
Wasn't it the young lady he was protecting?!
Su Muwan, who had been pondering what Qin Luo would do next, was stunned upon hearing this.
"???"
What?!
It's my fault again?!
Su Muwan, upon realizing this, trembled with anger.
Seriously?
Is this some kind of joke?
What Ten Thousand Demon Banner? What vessel for an evil artifact?
Not only in this life, but even in my past life, I’ve never even touched such a thing!
Ugh! I can't take it anymore! Why does every blame fall on me?!
Heavens! I'm so done! Heavens! Your mom’s dead!
Su Muwan was on the verge of fainting from anger.
She fought back the urge to collapse and looked at Qin Luo with tearful eyes.
Qin Luo!! Look at him!!!
Qin Luo stepped forward, pointing at the shadow and sneering, "Hmph!"
"Remnants of the old era are just that—remnants of the old era."
"Your sect was destroyed back then, probably because you loved spreading little rumors, huh?"
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Xuanyuan's gaze sharpened, and he roared, "You brat, do not tarnish the reputation of my Xuanyuan Sect!!"
"The Xuanyuan Sect is gone, buried in the dirt. See these two by my feet?"
"I even slapped your descendants a couple of times."
Perhaps it was these words that struck a nerve.
Ancestor Xuanyuan's shadow suddenly radiated a brilliant golden light as he bellowed, "You’re looking for death!"
"Today! For the sake of all living beings in the realms!!"
"I shall eradicate the two of you, scourges of this world!"
With that, Ancestor Xuanyuan raised the Xuanyuan Sword high, and the blade erupted with blazing golden flames, as if the entire shadow had been ignited by an invisible fury.
At that moment, the heavens and earth trembled, and the surrounding spiritual energy surged wildly.
The old man, covering his face on the ground, looked on in awe, "Ancestor is indeed the Ancestor. Even as a mere shadow, he possesses such power!"
Xuanyuan Yu, pale-faced, glared at Su Muwan with hatred, "Ancestor, kill these two who destroyed our inheritance!"
With the inheritance severed, Xuanyuan Yu not only suffered backlash but also saw his cultivation plummet, rendering him a cripple.
Lu Hongshen, also lying on the ground, clutching his cheek, muttered, "Such power is comparable to some ancient inheritances from the Profound Heaven Realm."
His expression was grave.
It seemed the world he was in was far deeper and more complex than he had imagined!
Qin Luo, seeing this, merely curled his lips, his eyes flashing with disdain.
He raised his hand, and dark energy gathered, flowing toward the Ten Thousand Demon Banner.
"Old fool."
Qin Luo sneered, his tone dripping with provocation, "I gave you a chance, but you didn’t know how to appreciate it."
"Since that’s the case, I’ll sever the legacy of your Xuanyuan Sect!"
With that, he leaped into the air.
Swish!
Grasping the Ten Thousand Demon Banner, a massive surge of dark energy erupted from the banner, clashing with the golden light emanating from Ancestor Xuanyuan.
"Still talking tough when you’re about to die!"
"Brat! Blame the venomous woman behind you for this!!"
Ancestor Xuanyuan coldly rebuked.
He gripped the Xuanyuan Sword and slashed fiercely at Qin Luo, "Xuanyuan Sword!! Destroy evil!!"
In that instant, Qin Luo flung the Ten Thousand Demon Banner forward.
Boom!
The clash of black and golden energies erupted in the air.
The golden light radiated righteousness.
The black energy exuded malevolence.
Su Muwan, watching this, couldn’t tell who the real villain was anymore.
Most importantly...
Su Muwan suddenly noticed that Qin Luo was no longer behind the Ten Thousand Demon Banner.
Where was Qin Luo?
Ancestor Xuanyuan also noticed this.
He assumed the other had fled.
But the next second.
A cold laugh echoed in his ear, "Old fool, what did you call my young lady?"
Ancestor Xuanyuan: !!!
His pupils contracted as he turned his head.
To his shock, Qin Luo had flown to the side of his massive shadow, accompanied by dark energy.
Ancestor Xuanyuan’s gaze sharpened.
What was he planning?
The next moment.
Qin Luo raised his hand, and before Ancestor Xuanyuan’s shadow could react.
He struck!
Slap!!!
"Ugh—!"
Ancestor Xuanyuan let out a cry of pain.
His body stiffened, and the golden light around him dissipated.
Qin Luo cursed, "This slap is for your insolence!!"
Ancestor Xuanyuan tried to retort, "You—!"
But before he could finish.
Slap!!
Another strike landed!
"Ugh—!"
"This slap is for your refusal to reflect, clinging to the past!"
"The Xuanyuan Sect is long gone, yet you remain deluded, thinking you can suppress the strongest martial artist of this era with your shadow? Ridiculous!"
As he spoke.
Another slap!
Slap!
"Ugh!"
"This slap is for your incompetence, failing to protect your sect and disciples!"
Qin Luo’s voice was as sharp as a blade.
"You claim to protect the world, but where is your protection? Your sect was destroyed, your disciples scattered, and now even your last inheritance clings to life through a shadow!"
Slap!
Another strike!
"This slap is for your overconfidence, daring to obstruct my young lady’s martial path!"
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
The sound of slaps echoed continuously.
Everyone was stunned.
Especially the Xuanyuan grandfather and grandson.
They stared blankly, dumbfounded, as the golden shadow was repeatedly slapped.
The old man stammered, "Ancestor Xuanyuan... why isn’t he fighting back..."
He couldn’t understand, didn’t want to understand, and couldn’t figure it out!
Why could a shadow even be slapped?!
Slap!!
"The final slap! This is for being too ugly! In Jiang City, we don’t allow people as ugly as you to exist!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With the final strike, Ancestor Xuanyuan’s shadow was on the verge of complete collapse.
The mocking words from Qin Luo echoed in his ears.
His past glory was reduced to nothing.
His former greatness now seemed like a fleeting memory, fading with the passage of time.
"Ughhhhh!!"
Ancestor Xuanyuan broke down, letting out a piercing scream.
Though a shadow, he could still feel the soul-crushing pain, "Brat!!! Shut up!!!"
"Legacy shadow!"
"Hand it over!"
Seizing the opportunity, Qin Luo’s lips curled into a cold smile.
He waved his hand, and dark energy coalesced into a massive palm that flipped through the air, swiftly and precisely binding Ancestor Xuanyuan’s shadow.
The palm was like chains from hell, firmly restraining him, leaving him powerless to break free.
Ancestor Xuanyuan’s shadow grew increasingly faint under the dark energy’s grip.
His strength had been drained.
"You have nowhere to run."
Qin Luo said, waving his hand again.
Boom!
The Ten Thousand Demon Banner, floating high in the air, suddenly emitted a blinding black light.
As the banner swayed, the yin energy of the world seemed to be drawn to it, converging into a vortex that enveloped Ancestor Xuanyuan’s shadow, now bound by the dark energy palm.
"No!!"
Ancestor Xuanyuan’s shadow was rapidly drained of power by the Ten Thousand Demon Banner. His form grew dimmer, and his screams weakened as his strength faded.
"Under the Ten Thousand Demon Banner, all things turn to dust."
With Qin Luo’s final incantation, the banner’s suction reached its peak. Ancestor Xuanyuan’s shadow let out one last mournful cry before being completely devoured by the banner, vanishing into nothingness.
Swish—!
The golden light dissipated, the dark clouds retreated, and moonlight bathed the world once more.
At that moment, peace returned to the heavens and earth, with only Qin Luo’s Ten Thousand Demon Banner gently fluttering in his hand.
The Xuanyuan family’s ancestors were left speechless, rooted to the spot in shock.
The Ancestor... is gone?
The legacy... is severed?
Are we... finished?
Thud!
The old man’s eyes rolled back as he collapsed to the ground.
Shortly after.
Qin Luo, standing in mid-air, cleared his throat and declared, "The irrelevant have been dealt with."
"Now, please line up in an orderly fashion with valid identification to receive your opportunities!"
As his words fell, the crowd erupted in cheers.
"Hiss!! I don’t know what just happened, but Master Qin is invincible!"
"Long live Lady Su!"
"Long live Miss Su!"
*Thud.*
Qin Luo flew over to Su Muwan's side and said with a smile, "Miss, it's done!"
Done... it's done, alright...
But...
Su Muwan looked at the cheering crowd around her, and then at the Ten Thousand Demon Banner in Qin Luo's hand, which was emitting a dark aura.
Finally.
*Slap!*
She covered her face with her hands.
Why is this so different from the vibe of my past life?!
Is this the true power of Qin Luo, the T0 protagonist?
And here I’ve been bickering with Qin Luo so many times...
Why haven’t I leveled up to T0 yet?
Could it be...
Su Muwan’s eyes lit up. Is it because I haven’t done it enough times?!
"Qin Luo!"
"What is it, Miss?"
"You better stay sharp for the next few days!"
"??"
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"

Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid.

Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"
