Here is the accurate translation of the provided Chinese text into British English, using only commas, periods, or other standard punctuation, and avoiding em dashes entirely:
“Let me show you the true power of the Haoran Righteous Spear Technique!”
Facing Duan Dongtian’s formidable might, Lin Xiao was not to be outdone, his fighting spirit soaring, his aura majestic. The Haoran righteous energy surged around him like a raging fire, his entire being charging forward, stirring up towering waves of energy, covering a distance of over ten zhang in an instant.
Then, with a twist of his body, he swung the long spear in his hand horizontally, thrusting it forward with all his might, as if staking everything on a single strike.
With the spear thrown, it was as if all the strength in his body had been drained. The spear flew, his body weakened, a desperate gamble, one spear to decide life or death.
“Haoran pierces the sun and moon, the spear thrown to etch history!” Accompanied by a resounding shout that shook the heavens, the long spear shot forth, imbued with terrifying Haoran power. Radiant golden light burst out, illuminating the entire area, outshining the sun and moon, enveloping everyone in dazzling brilliance.
The overwhelming Haoran righteous energy surged powerfully from the spear, its immense fluctuations clearing away the surrounding waves of force from the previous strike.
The awe-inspiring spear, carrying boundless piercing power, streaked through the air like lightning, shooting forward at astonishing speed.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, the spear struck the radiant golden fist aura, shattering the terrifying fist aura into pieces.
A burst of light, far more blinding than the sun, erupted. The fist aura transformed into towering waves of energy, surging in all directions, shaking the heavens and earth.
The spear’s momentum was unstoppable, breaking through Duan Dongtian’s fist aura, emerging from the towering waves of energy, charging towards Duan Dongtian, piercing his chest.
“Pfft!”
Blood sprayed out as the spear penetrated Duan Dongtian’s chest, emerging from his back, shooting into the distance.
“How is this possible?” Duan Dongtian’s eyes widened, his face full of disbelief as he softly uttered a word. Then, the life drained from his body, and he fell downwards.
His eyes remained wide open, clearly unable to rest in peace.
At that moment, the entire scene fell silent, everyone seemingly petrified, staring blankly at the spectacle.
Duan Dongtian, pierced through by Lin Xiao’s spear?
What shocked the Spear Dragon Sect even more was that Lin Xiao had successfully mastered the third form of the Haoran Righteous Spear Technique?
Even Zhan Lan was uncertain if he had mastered that move.
In the entire Spear Dragon Sect, only a few elders had mastered it, some spending decades without success, many forced to switch to other martial techniques more suited to them.
Yet Lin Xiao, in just one month, not only cultivated Haoran energy but also mastered the third form of the Haoran Righteous Spear Technique.
It was simply unimaginable!
“Dongtian, no!!!” Amid the stunned crowd, a piercing scream rang out. Yang Lan soared into the air, rushing to catch the falling body.
“Father!” Duan Tianya also charged forward.
“Dongtian!”
“Elder Duan!”
The other Duan family members wailed, rushing out one after another.
Zhe Renfeng and the members of the Lingjian Sect and Xing family were also struck dumb.
They could not have imagined that Duan Dongtian, a supreme genius who suppressed his cultivation to the seventh level of Martial Monarch, would die at Lin Xiao’s hands.
“Sorry, I was just practising, unaware of how powerful this spear strike was.” At that moment, Lin Xiao’s carefree voice rang out, making the Duan family members want to spit blood.
In truth, Lin Xiao was speaking the facts.
He had only tested the Haoran Righteous Spear Technique within Haoran Mountain.
Within Haoran Mountain, there was a suppressive force, so using martial techniques was like not using them at all, producing no power.
Moreover, he had only practised its form, without Haoran energy in his body, meaning he had not truly mastered the Haoran Righteous Spear Technique.
Whether it was the first or third form, this was his first real execution.
He had not expected the third form of the Haoran Righteous Spear Technique to be so powerful, piercing through Duan Dongtian, who could fight at the fifth level of Martial Monarch, with a single strike.
“Still, it didn’t disappoint me, managing to kill Duan Dongtian as well.” Lin Xiao added with a sigh.
“Pfft!” At that moment, Yang Lan, overcome with rage, spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Lin Xiao!” A cold voice came from Yang Lan, each word spat out with venom, her eyes fixed on Lin Xiao, as if she wanted to devour him.
She could not accept that her husband, who always resolved every issue, who was always victorious, would die at Lin Xiao’s hands.
Her son had died at Lin Xiao’s hands, and now her husband too, with Lin Xiao mocking them on the spot. How could she bear it?
Duan Tianya’s face was also filled with fury, his eyes wide, as if flames were about to burst forth.
At that moment, laughter rang out from within the Spear Dragon Sect’s gates: “Haha, so what if Duan Dongtian was arrogant? Suppressing his cultivation, yet still easily killed by Junior Brother Lin Xiao!”
“Exactly, no matter how arrogant, he’s just a corpse now.”
“Who knows how much cultivation he suppressed to the ninth level of Martial Venerable? What a pity, still no match for Junior Brother Lin Xiao’s naturally attained cultivation!”
“Junior Brother Lin Xiao’s talent is unparalleled. In the same realm, who can match him?”
Excited voices echoed from within the Spear Dragon Sect, showing no regard for giving face.
The Spear Dragon Sect never feared any faction.
Especially not those who came to provoke, deserving no courtesy.
Hearing the gloating voices, Yang Lan, Duan Tianya, and the others found it even harder to bear, feeling as if their hearts and minds were collapsing.
Yang Lan, in her anger, spat out another mouthful of blood.
“Elder Zhe, your challenge has failed. Please leave!” At that moment, Zhong Moyang waved his hand, issuing an order to depart.
However, Zhe Renfeng shook his head, saying, “Elder Zhong, you’re mistaken. The Duan family has indeed failed, but the Xing family has not.”
“What do you mean?” Zhong Moyang frowned.
The Spear Dragon Sect disciples fell silent, and Lin Xiao also furrowed his brow slightly. From Zhe Renfeng’s words, did the Xing family also have someone to challenge him?
Zhe Renfeng said nothing, only waving his hand. Then, an elderly figure emerged from the crowd.
Standing near Zhe Renfeng and the others, he spoke, “I am the one challenging Lin Xiao!”
The old man had white hair, his face etched with wrinkles, clearly well over a hundred years old.
He flew to the front of Zhe Renfeng and the others, his gaze sweeping over the Spear Dragon Sect members, then looking up at Lin Xiao in the sky, declaring loudly, “I am Xing Zou, Xing Tian’s grandfather. Today, I come to avenge Xing Tian!”
With that, a powerful ninth-level Martial Venerable aura radiated from Xing Zou, its terrifying pressure enveloping all directions.
This aura was far stronger than Duan Dongtian’s by more than a fraction.
The Spear Dragon Sect members were shocked. This challenge involved not only Duan Dongtian but also someone from the Xing family?
The Xing family had sent a centenarian elder, suppressing his cultivation to the ninth level of Martial Venerable, to challenge Lin Xiao?
At that age, he had likely suppressed his cultivation from the ninth level of Martial Monarch, hadn’t he?
If so, how strong would Xing Zou’s combat power be?
“How shameless!”
“An old man over a hundred suppressing his cultivation to challenge a youth not yet twenty. The Xing family truly has no shame.”
“A shameless family, a shameless old man!”
The Spear Dragon Sect disciples began cursing, unable to believe the Xing family had prepared such a move. Yet Xing Zou, unfazed, countered, “In the same age or realm, I can fight. My cultivation is the same as Lin Xiao’s. What’s the issue?”
