Chapter 58: Blow Off with One Punch

“Hahaha, kill me?”

Li Xingyun laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

Did a Peak Rank Three Martial Vein Martial Pupil actually proclaim that he would kill him, aRank Four Martial Vein Martial Disciple?

He had heard correctly, right?

“Before killing you, I want to ask a question: why did you kill those poor beggars?”

Ling Xiao truly didn’t understand. Those beggars didn’t know any martial arts at all. Why had he needed to kill them?

“Oh, I just happened to make a breakthrough in my sword technique, so I gave it a try! They just happened to be nearby.”

Li Xingyun casually shrugged.

“What?”

Ling Xiao froze.

He had killed over 20 ordinary people to test his sword move?

Those had been living people!

His eyes turned cold. Li Xingyun would die today!

“Okay, if you want to obtain justice for those beggars, come! However, since you killed so many of our Li Clan, I will not let you go alive.”

Li Xingyun pulled out his sword.

He didn’t make any superfluous moves, swinging it out surprisingly fast!

Ling Xiao recognized it as the Gale Sword that Li Xingyun had previously used to resist a rank four demonic beast.

His opponent was not weak.

Ling Xiao didn’t dare to be careless.

Circulating his true qi, he transformed into a flood dragon’s phantom. Displaying <Soaring Cloud Steps-Flood Dragon Transformation>, he easily dodged this sword.

He didn’t immediately use gang qi because it was possible Li Xingyun would survive, so he was saving it for a crucial moment. 

When he suddenly erupted at full power, Li Xingyun would be caught unprepared.

What he wanted was death in a single move: he couldn’t let Li Xingyun escape.

Therefore, he readied his most powerful attack and waited.

“Eh?”

Li Xingyun was briefly dumbfounded. He had great misgivings toward Ling Xiao’s movement technique. He had not expected that it had further improved after the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range.

“Your movement technique has improved a lot, but it’s useless. Rank Four Martial Vein is not something you can comprehend!”

“Interlink Sword!”

The two people opened a distance before Li Xingyun initiated a sword move.

However, this sword move obviously differed from the one before. Not only was its gang qi much stronger, but it also sent out three sword qi beams.

Once the sword qi appeared, the nearby tree branches were slashed through as a fierce gale cut at the ground.  

“Bull Demon Technique-Meteorite Baleful Fist!”

Ling Xiao used his strongest attack move. Although <Barbarian Bull Strength> could be used for exchanging pointers, Meteorite Fist was more suitable for kill an opponent.

“Boom!”

With a punch, all three sword qi beams were shattered, turning into specks of scattered light that pierced some nearby rocks.  

“Gang Qi?”

Li Xingyun frowned, “It turns out that you have also condensed gang qi! Well, no wonder you are so arrogant, but it is still useless! A Rank Three Martial Vein is only a Rank Three Martial Vein. Even if you have gang qi, you are not my opponent!”

Although Li Xingyun was somewhat surprised to see Ling Xiao shatter his sword qi with a punch and even more surprised to discover that Ling Xiao had already condensed gang qi, he wasn’t afraid.

The gap in their realms was the source of his confidence.

“Go to hell!”

Ling Xiao’s attack was not over.

<Soaring Cloud Steps-Flood Dragon Transformation> was not a movement technique for escaping; it was even more suitable for combat!

Meteorite Baleful Fist, Ninth Style——Meteorite Drop!

Ling Xiao appeared before Li Xingyun in an instant.

Li Xingyun knew that he couldn’t avoid it, so he hastily blocked with his sword.

“Humph, nothing to worry about!”

He didn’t use all his strength since he planned to counterattack and kill Ling Xiao in one fell swoop after blocking this punch.

Raging Gale Strike!

Li Xingyun displayed the strongest style of the Gale Sword technique but only used 70% of his full power.

The sword light glimmered, and the ear-splitting shriek startled the nearby animals hiding in the forest. Fierce, wind-like sword qi flew from the sword towards Ling Xiao.

This sword move was not weak.

It was absolutely capable of killing inferior rank four demonic beasts.

One should know that even the most inferior rank four demonic beast was equivalent to a Rank Four Martial Vein martial artist.

This Li Xingyun deserved to be called a genius. His strength was much stronger than other martial artists in the same realm.

Using this move, a hint of excited ruthlessness flashed in Li Xingyun’s eyes.

Finally, he could settle his humiliation from the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range.

However, his pupils suddenly shrunk.

Horror appeared on his face.

This punch was much stronger than he had expected.

This punch was so terrifying that even before colliding with his sword, its terrifying, blazing gang qi almost burned him.

“No——!”

Li Xingyun regretted not using his full power.

However, it was too late. The punch easily smashed through his gale sword qi before breaking his sword. 

Afterward, Ling Xiao’s fist struck him. 

“Humm!”

A thunderous roar resounded, but Li Xingyun wasn’t sent flying. Instead, Ling Xiao’s arm had directly penetrated his body. He hung from Ling Xiao’s arm like a lamb kebab. (Editor note: lmao) 

“You! You!”

Li Xingyun stared at Ling Xiao in horror. Soon, he stopped struggling and ceased breathing.

Ling Xiao swung his hand and deposited Ling Xingyun’s corpse on  the ground. He coldly dismissed it and quickly cleaned up the battlefield.

There were not many good things on the Li Clansmen’s corpses, just some silver. Altogether, they had roughly 1,000 taels.

However, Li Xingyun was different.

He gave Ling Xiao a big surprise.

He had actually had a storage ring.

Although it was only common grade, it was still precious.

One should know that even one of the four major clans of Heavenly Peak City wouldn’t have many storage rings. At most, they would have ten or so.

Even though Li Xingyun had great potential and was a genius Li Clan disciple, he wasn’t qualified to possess this kind of treasure.

Dear Readers. Scrapers have recently been devasting our views. At this rate, the site (creativenovels .com) might...let's just hope it doesn't come to that. If you are reading on a scraper site. Please don't.

Had he borrowed it from someone?

In any case, he would take it!

Common grade storage rings didn’t have spiritual imprints or restrictions; therefore, anyone could use one upon acquiring it.

Ling Xiao feared something unexpected happening if he dallied here, so without checking its contents, he quickly returned to that broken-down temple.

There were too many corpses here, and he lacked the time to bury them. Moreover, even if they were buried, many wild and demonic beasts lived nearby. They might dig them up later. Being eaten would truly desecrate his brothers.

Therefore, other than the big clans with their own forbidden graveyards, people generally chose cremation.

Ling Xiao cremated these loved ones whom he had once begged together with.

“You all can pass on peacefully! I have avenged your hatred. I will take care of Little Potato. I will never let him suffer any grievances.”

Regardless of his deep grief, he knew that the dead would never come back to life.

Now, he had more things to do; otherwise, his grandfather Hong Qi or Little Potato might share this fate in the future.

He didn’t want to ever see this.

This would be the last time!

After leaving the broken-down temple, Ling Xiao returned to the Ling Clan.

If someone had seen his battle with Li Xingyun, his or her jaw might have dropped to the ground in surprise.

A Peak Rank Three Martial Vein Martial Pupil had actually killed a Rank Four Martial Vein genius Martial Disciple in two moves.

Although that Rank Four Martial Vein genius martial artists had underestimated his opponent, the result was still very shocking.

Not long after Ling Xiao left, wild beasts from the nearby forest dragged the Lin Clan’s corpses to their homes. Only some bloodstains and body parts were left at the scene.
