I Have Infinite Attributes

C27 - Attack!

"He's too arrogant."

"He's lost his mind!"

These thoughts repeatedly surfaced in the mind of Zheng Huai, the Patriarch of the Zheng family.

A lunatic bold enough to claim he wasn't afraid of the Shrine of Astral Radiance. If he wasn't insane, what else could he be?

Then, witnessing Zhou Jibo slay the Zheng family Elder with a single sword strike, a shiver of dread crept through Zheng Huai.

Just over ten days ago, Zhou Jibo was merely a fifth-layer Acquired talent with some potential. What transformation had he undergone in such a short span?

He had issued a letter of divorce to Zheng Xunqin. He had astonished the crowd at the Icefair auction. He had slain Zhou Qian and Zheng Kang, swiftly settling the strife within the Zhou family.

Zheng Huai had harbored doubts that Zhou Qian and Zheng Kang's deaths were a collective effort by the Zhou family. Now, seeing Zhou Jibo's prowess, he was convinced that it was Zhou Jibo himself who had personally dispatched the two ninth-layer Acquired Warriors.

At what level was Zhou Jibo's cultivation now?

Without hesitation, Zhou Jibo brandished his sword once more.

The Zheng family elders and the Zhou family Elder, some enraged, some terrified, charged forward with roars. Their cultivation ranged from the seventh to the ninth layer of the Acquired Realm.

They were met with a series of chilling, icy sword glows.

The youth in the moon-white robe executed his swordplay, his attacks imbued with an enigmatic depth they couldn't decipher. He murmured softly.

"Cool Breeze Blowing."

The breeze was gentle, invisible.

"Moon."

The moon dipped into the water, its reflection shimmering.

Finally, the Blood Stripe Sword claimed the last two guards.

"I."

I witness the breeze, I witness the moon.

Zhou Jibo calmly rested his sword on the quivering shoulder of Zheng Huai. The surrounding Zheng family elders and guards lay scattered, lifeless. Only Zheng Huai remained alive before Zhou Jibo.

A mist of pale white frost swirled endlessly around them.

"What sword technique is this?" Zheng Huai's voice quivered as he inquired, "How can there be such a fearsome sword technique?"

"I can answer that question for you," Zhou Jibo stated. "Thanks to the Zheng family's treachery, I was fortunate to acquire this sword technique. It's a top-grade Profound Rank martial skill called the Cool Breeze Bright Moon Sword Technique."

"A top-grade Profound Rank martial skill?" Zheng Huai gasped in shock, unable to utter anything beyond his astonishment. Such a divine technique was beyond his wildest dreams! Even with the Zheng family's allegiance to the Shrine of Astral Radiance and their status as a vassal, he never imagined witnessing such a formidable skill.

"Surprised?" Zhou Jibo asked, eyeing him with a steady gaze. "Is it typical for the Zheng family to be so heartless? Many of your elders have perished, yet the others are scrambling to flee. You don't seem to be concerned about them at all. What about your daughter, Zheng Xunqin? Does she not care for you either?"

Zheng Huai snapped out of his daze, his face ashen as cries of agony and mercy filled the air. Was the Zheng family facing annihilation today?

"Zhou Jibo," he pleaded, attempting to persuade the Zhou family to cease their assault. But Zhou Jibo's icy stare extinguished any hope of that possibility. How could they possibly relent? Surely, they would seek complete vengeance.
