“Go kill him for me.” The Qi family’s elder waved his hand and 6 Innate realm cultivators sped towards Xiao Yun. Evidently, these people were testing out his strength.
“Kill!” When those 6 Innate realm cultivators were less than 5 metres away, they leapt towards Xiao Yun and swung at him with their weapons. Innate realm cultivators could already release their Essence Qi, and the glow of their weapons was incredibly sharp.
Whoosh!
The might of 6 people attacking at once was quite shocking; Essence Qi descended like a rainbow-like spiderweb.
“Since this is what you’ve chosen, don’t blame me for being merciless.” Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes as a boundless wave of spirit energy rushed out from his body. As soon as it came into contact with the 6 Innate realm cultivators, their bodies immediately froze.
“What powerful spirit energy.” Not too far away, Poison Master Feng’s pupils contracted as he muttered, “No matter why that Qi Mu was killed by Tie Zhen Lan –it was this boy. Who would have thought that a tiny place like the North Mist City would have such a person?”
Swish! Swish!
At this moment, Xiao Yun moved. His sword flashed, dancing like an agile snake, cutting the throats of all 6 cultivators within a single breath of time. It was only when they felt the pain that they came back to their senses and stared at their wounds dumbly.
“So fast!” they muttered before falling.
These 6 cultivators had jumped a few metres into the air, and by the time they had landed, they were all dead.
Seeing those cultivators all fall to the ground, the others stared in shock. “What’s going on?”
“They’re all dead?” The Qi family’s cultivators felt completely dumbfounded, unable to believe what had just happened.
“This youth is too strong.”
“How did he suddenly kill all 6 Innate realm cultivators?”
“The Tie family doesn’t have this sort of genius, right?” Far away, the other family’s cultivators discussed among themselves.
“What’s going on?” The Qi family’s True Essence realm cultivators were at a loss for words, looking ahead of them in disbelief.
The youth was holding a soft sword, standing proudly with a hint of coldness on his youthful face. He gave off an inviolable air, and the aura emanating from him caused even the scalps of True Essence realm cultivators to go numb. This was definitely a dangerous person!
“Where are you from, boy?” one of the Qi family’s elders coldly asked.
Xiao Yun’s eyes slightly narrowed and he smiled as he replied, “With me here, don’t expect to be able to do anything to the Tie family.”
“Hmph, I don’t believe that you’ll be able to deal with the True Essence realm cultivators,” the Qi family’s elder coldly harrumphed.
“Hmph, Qi Luo, if you want to fight, fight with me,” one of the Tie family’s True Essence realm cultivators said as he got up. He had been poisoned the least, and after consuming an Antidote Pill, he had been able to stabilise the poison within him. He was now slowly cleansing himself from the poison and was standing next to Xiao Yun.
The Tie family's Second Patriarch and the others were also trying to get rid of their poison as quickly as possible. With a True Essence realm cultivator by his side, Xiao Yun was able to let out a sigh of relief.
“Looks like in order to destroy the Tie family, we’ll have to kill this boy first,” Poison Master Feng said as he looked at Xiao Yun with an icy gaze. He walked towards Xiao Yun, taking out another rhombus-shaped magic item. The mysterious ripples that it gave off was enough to strike fear into everyone’s hearts.
Seeing that Poison Master Feng was going to attack, the Qi family’s True Essence realm cultivators all stood to one side.
The True Essence realm cultivator by Xiao Yun’s side gulped, looking quite wary. He had just been wounded by this sort of item moments ago!
Now, he had a horrifying wound on his left arm.
“A concealed weapon.” Seeing this item, a slight smile appeared on Xiao Yun’s face.
“After killing you, everything will be within my hands.” Poison Master Feng’s eyes glinted as he sent his mind into the magic item.
Buzz!
A light flashed as the inscriptions seemed to come to life and the mysterious ripples grew even stronger.
“What should we do? That thing is incredibly powerful!” The True Essence realm cultivator beside Xiao Yun started to tremble.
“Stand back for now.” Xiao Yun remained calm, his eyes tightly fixed on Poison Master Feng.
“But you-” The True Essence realm cultivator hesitated, but thinking to how powerful that concealed weapon was, he hurriedly retreated.
Not too far away, Tie Rong’Er watched while deeply frowning.
Whoosh!
At that moment, Poison Master Feng threw out the magic item towards Xiao Yun.
Bang!
When it was 5 metres away from Xiao Yun, the magic item suddenly exploded as metal shards covered with poison shot out.
The metal shards glinted with a cold light, looking like meteors flying through the sky. The sounds of them tearing through the air caused everyone’s hearts to go taut as they held their breaths. Everyone felt as if their hearts had risen to their throats, and even those far away looked in worry.
“How can this youth stop that concealed weapon? After all, even True Essence realm experts could not dodge this concealed weapon’s attacks!”
However, Xiao Yun looked incredibly calm as he stood there, staring in front of him as he waited for an opportunity.
“This boy’s not dodging?” Seeing that Xiao Yun did not immediately dodge, everyone else felt quite confused. The metal shards were as fast as meteors – if he did not dodge in time, how could he survive?
At this moment, Poison Master Feng’s eyes glinted, as a serious expression appeared on his face. “Could it be that he really does have extremely powerful spirit energy?” Thinking to there, he started to feel quite anxious.
“Luckily, he’s only at the Innate realm, so it will be difficult for him to block my Bone-Corroding Dark Shards.”
Whoosh!
Just as Poison Master Feng was thinking to himself, Xiao Yun suddenly moved.
“He finally moved?” Poison Master Feng tightly gazed at the youth.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the youth, not daring to blink. They wanted to see how they youth would block this concealed weapon that not even a True Essence realm cultivator could defend against. However, what they saw completely shocked them.
Xiao Yun’s body was like an agile snake, moving between the metal shards that were chaotically shooting at him. He would narrowly dodge the shards each time, so closely that those watching started to sweat. Seeing him move like this, some people started to wonder if this youth already knew the pattern that this item shot the metal shards out in – otherwise, how could he dodge them like this? Even a True Essence realm expert would not be able to react like this!
In just an instant, Xiao Yun had dodged all of the metal shards. Following this, he continued to advance.
“Is he mad? There’s poisonous liquid where the concealed weapon exploded!” many people cried out.
The poisonous liquid from the concealed weapon could corrode even stone, so who wouldn’t feel shocked when they saw the youth rush forwards? Even Poison Master Feng was completely dumbfounded.
Even a single drop of this poisonous liquid could melt bone – how could this youth be so courageous?
That was why Poison Master Feng had calmly watched after throwing out the magic item, not worrying about anyone attacking him. The poisonous liquid was a like a massive shield, blocking off all enemies.
“Poison?” Xiao Yun smiled. With a slight thought, a jade-green light shone out. The jade-green light was incredibly bright and pierced into everyone’s eyes. It seemed as if there was a jade-green halo of light shining down from Xiao Yun’s head, blocking off all of the poison. If one looked closely, they would see that the poisonous liquid had been completely stopped by the jade-green light. It was like a water-resistant cloth that was repelling water.
“What is this thing that can even block the poison?”
“How is it possible? How is it that the poison that can corrode stones can’t pass through that jade-green light?” Discussions erupted all around them and everyone stared in surprise. Even the Tie family’s people looked on in disbelief.
“What sort of divine ability is this?” Poison Master Feng was completely flabbergasted. He knew just how terrifying the poison in this magic item was – this was a poison that could devour Essence Qi and corrode bones, and was incredibly rare. Once poisoned, even an Antidote Pill would not be able to completely cure a person. So how had this youth blocked such a monstrous poison?
“My Martial Spirit has indeed become stronger.” Xiao Yun was also quite shocked, but he did not reveal it. Previously, his Martial Spirit had been able to protect him from that cavern filled with violet flames, so why would it fear this poison? After all, those violet flames could even melt fine steel!
After thinking to himself, Xiao Yun’s gaze became serious as he walked towards Poison Master Feng.
“Brat, you’re seeking death.” Nearby, one of the Qi family’s True Essence realm cultivator’s eyes gleamed, preparing to attack.
“The one who will die is you.” Xiao Yun’s eyes flashed as a powerful wave of spirit energy gathered.
Spirit-Destroying Spear!
This time, he used the Spirit-Destroying Spear, planning to kill Poison Master Feng with a single attack.
As the mighty spirit energy swept out, the surrounding air seemed to solidify. The terrifying pressure it gave off made it seem as if a deity had descended, which caused the souls of those around them to tremble. The True Essence realm cultivator who was just about to attack froze on the spot.
Even Poison Master Feng looked on in fear, thinking to himself, “What powerful spirit energy.”
“This fellow’s spirit energy isn’t weak either,” Xiao Yun thought he sent the Spirit-Destroying Spear shooting towards Poison Master Feng’s head.
At the same time, he controlled the jade-green light to flick the poisonous liquid on the ground towards the Qi family’s cultivators.
These people were unable to defend at all due to Xiao Yun’s spirit energy. As the poisonous liquid landed on them, the True Essence realm cultivators immediately cried out as they felt their bones being corroded, and thousands of holes were burned all over their bodies.
Buzz!
The Spirit-Destroying Spear slammed into Poison Master Feng’s head.
“Arghhh!!!” Poison Master Feng screamed as his eyes rolled back and his consciousness dissipated. Even though his spirit energy was not weak, it was far from being enough to defend against the Spirit-Destroying Spear.
After destroying Poison Master Feng’s spirit, Xiao Yun took back the Spirit-Destroying Spear. Following this, Poison Master Feng fell to the ground, dead.
Nearby, the Qi family’s elders screamed continuously as the poison spread within their bodies. It was quite late into the night and the evening wind was quite cold, so everyone felt a chill. In just a few moments, the Qi family’s experts had lost their ability to fight, and Poison Master Feng had died.
This sort of development made everyone feel dumbfounded.
All of this had happened because of a youth.
The cultivators watching from afar deeply breathed in, not knowing how they should express the way they felt.
Poison Master Feng, who the Tie family had been defenceless against, had been killed by this youth – what did this signify? Didn’t this mean that this youth was more terrifying than an entire family?
