Inside Tianshui City.
Jiang Ting actually wanted to resort to the same old trick again, trying to threaten Xiao Yang.
This time, Xiao Yang was curious to see what Jiang Ting could come up with to intimidate him.
Last time, Jiang Ting threatened Xiao Yang with his grandfather’s jade pendant, forcing him to comply.
But now, Xiao Yang had already retrieved his grandfather’s pendant.
He wasn’t going to indulge Jiang Ting any longer.
“I… you…”
Jiang Ting was flustered, her face turning red as she struggled to think of something to threaten Xiao Yang with.
“Senior Brother, be careful! Junior Sister might really break up with you and never speak to you again,” Qin Fei fanned the flames from the side.
Oh, right!
Jiang Ting’s eyes lit up at this suggestion.
“Senior Brother, if you don’t give me the Sky-Repairing Pill, I really won’t talk to you anymore! From now on, we go our separate ways, completely unrelated!”
Jiang Ting declared proudly.
She thought Xiao Yang was just playing hard to get, that he was still secretly worried about her and cared for her, that he still pampered her.
This time, however, she was mistaken.
Is that all you’ve got?
Xiao Yang nearly burst out laughing.
“Break up with me? Not a chance!”
As he spoke, he turned on his heel and walked away without looking back.
He couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on these dimwitted folks.
Jiang Ting stood frozen, dumbfounded by Xiao Yang’s uncompromising departure.
Qin Fei was also bewildered.
Xiao Yang’s junior disciples were equally shocked.
Their Senior Brother truly didn’t care about Junior Sister anymore?
Ning Shu silently watched Xiao Yang leave.
The astute Ning Shu seemed to sense the intricate dynamics between Xiao Yang, Jiang Ting, and Qin Fei.
“Holy Son Brother, wait for me!” Lin Wangchuan chased after him.
“Me too!” Song Qiang followed suit.
They could see the true colors of guys like Zheng Fan and Qin Fei.
These jerks were suggesting that their Senior Brother abandoned them in their time of need, fleeing to save himself! Truly despicable; they didn’t want to associate with such people.
“You guys…”
Transmission Elder was a bit helpless at the situation.
Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie had suffered severe injuries and lost his life-bound flying sword.
He could only go back to the sect to recuperate.
So, the Transmission Elder stepped in to lead everyone to the Yuanwu Immortal Domain for the Jiazi Grand Competition.
He had heard many complaints from Qin Fei, Zheng Fan, and Lei Renjie about Xiao Yang.
Initially, he didn’t believe Xiao Yang was the coward they claimed him to be.
But at a critical moment, Xiao Yang had disappeared without a trace; he hadn’t shown up to protect the junior disciples in danger.
Xiao Yang’s puzzling behavior made the Transmission Elder start to have doubts.
“Senior Brother, the entire city is sealed off by an array! You can’t go anywhere!” Lei Renjie shouted loudly.
“Tch!”
Xiao Yang completely ignored Lei Renjie.
They could never have dreamed that their Senior Brother was the one who had set up the city-wide sealing array.
“Don’t blame me for not warning you, Li Kuang has already turned into a Blood Demon. He’s hiding in the city, watch out or you might end up as a dried corpse!”
Xiao Yang’s voice echoed from afar.
“What…?”
Everyone gasped in shock.
Qin Fei was both startled and delighted.
He had learned from other disciples that Li Kuang had been defeated by Xiao Yang while wearing a golden mask, that he had acted like the Sword Saint to break Li Kuang’s dantian and kicked him into the Blood Pool.
He thought his uncle had been killed by Xiao Yang.
Who would have thought that his uncle not only survived but also became a Blood Demon, right here in the city?
If he could get in touch with his uncle, there’s a chance to take down Xiao Yang!
Qin Fei’s excitement surged at this thought.
Xiao Yang had the Sky-Repairing Pill!
The Sky-Repairing Pill might not be able to restore his severed bits, but it could at least enhance his cultivation and make his Innate Dao Body even stronger.
Most importantly, the Sky-Repairing Pill could quickly heal his internal and external injuries.
Han Bin’s meridians had been completely severed by Ming He.
If he could get the Sky-Repairing Pill and heal up, he could replace Han Bin in the Jiazi Grand Competition.
The more Qin Fei thought about it, the more exhilarated he became.
“Could it be that the Sword Saint was the one who sealed off the entire city to prevent that Blood Demon from escaping?” the Transmission Elder said in shock.
“If Senior Brother was pretending to be that Sword Saint and it came to light… the consequences would be unimaginable!” Jiang Ting said anxiously.
“There’s even more to this?” The Transmission Elder gasped.
The Sword Saint cannot be insulted.
Xiao Yang actually dared to impersonate the Sword Saint?
What gall!
They all thought Xiao Yang was acting as the Sword Saint.
Yet, no one suspected that Xiao Yang was indeed the mysterious Sword Saint himself.
At that moment, Ning Shu was preparing to leave with the Heavenly Medical Sect.
“Saintess, please hold!” The Transmission Elder stepped forward.
“Do you have something to say, Elder?” Ning Shu asked coolly.
“Not so much to say, just hoping the Saintess could heal two disciples of our sect,” the Transmission Elder pointed to Han Bin on the stretcher and the injured Qin Fei.
Qin Fei had been brutally battered by the remnants of the Demon Sect, suffering a lot of damage.
“No treatment!”
Before Ning Shu could speak, Tang Chen’s displeasure radiated from his face.
“Uh… Saintess, what do you think? We can pay you.” The Transmission Elder looked at Ning Shu.
Disciples of the Heavenly Medical Sect regarded Ning Shu highly.
Although Tang Chen was a senior brother, he had to listen to the Saintess in front of her.
“No treatment!”
Ning Shu said, turning on her heel to leave.
All the disciples of the Heavenly Medical Sect hurriedly followed her.
“This…”
The Transmission Elder felt awkward.
He never expected Ning Shu to be so resolute in her refusal.
At that moment, everyone in the city flocked toward the well, whether poisoned or not, they were all drinking the well water like crazy.
Thus, the crisis was resolved through Xiao Yang’s intervention.
Ning Shu respected Xiao Yang.
Because she was fully aware of the value of that recipe he had given her.
That was a brand new detoxification pill recipe!
The detoxification pills produced using that recipe could cure very peculiar poisons.
Xiao Yang actually gave her such a precious recipe without asking for anything in return.
How could such a person possibly be a bad person?
That was why she wouldn’t help Tang Chen.
However, with Li Kuang hiding in the city, it was far from a trivial matter.
Ning Shu wanted to find Xiao Yang to discuss how to deal with this formidable demon.
The Knife Demon Li Kuang was no ordinary remnant of the Demon Sect.
When the forces of the north teamed up to hunt down Li Kuang, he had managed to escape in the end.
Not only had he escaped, but many outstanding experts had also been lost in the process.
The battle in Falling Phoenix Valley had shaken the entire northern region.
Knife Demon Li Kuang single-handedly confronted the nine top experts of the north, slaying five of them, and although he was severely injured, he broke through Falling Phoenix Valley and vanished for decades.
Who would have thought that this demon would surface again?
The Demon Sect was stirring; they wouldn’t be targeting the Jiazi Grand Competition, would they?
Ning Shu understood the brutality and terror of the remnants of the Demon Sect.
If Li Kuang wasn’t dealt with, she feared for how many more lives would be lost at the hands of this mad demon.
Ning Shu hurried to find Xiao Yang.
“It must be that Senior Brother offended them, and they bear a grudge, so how could they come to our rescue?” Qin Fei commented bitterly as he watched the Heavenly Medical Sect leave.
“Senior Brother doesn’t care whether we live or die…”
Han Bin on the stretcher was so enraged he spat blood.
His meridians had been shattered by Ming He, and he relied on pills to keep alive.
Now that the Heavenly Medical Sect refused to treat him, even if he didn’t die, he’d end up a cripple.
Moreover, the Sky-Repairing Pill in Xiao Yang’s hands was the ultimate healing medicine.
Xiao Yang actually refused to hand over the Sky-Repairing Pill!
This made Han Bin furious and frustrated.
Everyone’s expressions dimmed.
What’s up with Senior Brother?
Senior Brother used to take good care of them!
Has Senior Brother really changed?
But Qin Fei felt smug in his heart.
He wanted everyone to resent Xiao Yang.
Especially Junior Sister Jiang Ting.
…
“What are you guys doing here?” Xiao Yang looked at the arriving Song Qiang and Lin Wangchuan, feeling quite speechless.
With them following, how was he supposed to fight that Li Kuang!?
It seemed he could no longer use the mysterious Sword Saint identity.
Just then, a blood-red figure appeared behind them.
A terrifying killing intent instantly enveloped them.
“Uh-oh!”
Xiao Yang was startled; it was Li Kuang, the demon had come for them.
