Xiao Yang didn’t want to get involved with the Xiao family’s issues.
However, the Giant Sword Sect’s leader, Zhao Hai, thought he was just pretending to be Xiao Yang and scamming everyone.
So, he directly ordered his deputy, Zheng Zhi, to take Xiao Yang out.
Who would have thought that Zheng Zhi would be directly turned into a pin cushion by Xiao Yang?
This was unacceptable!
This was the deputy leader of the Giant Sword Sect, after all.
The members of the Giant Sword Sect instantly went berserk, drawing their massive swords and surrounding Xiao Yang.
“Kid, I’m going to shred you into a million pieces!”
Zhao Hai pointed his sword at Xiao Yang, oozing killing intent.
“Just get lost!”
Liu Qingyun walked down the mountain, not wanting to watch the Giant Sword Sect members get themselves killed by Xiao Yang.
Although he hadn’t known Xiao Yang for long, he could read people well. A decisive killer like Xiao Yang wouldn’t hold back if these guys attacked him.
Liu Qingyun was followed by his disciple, Ling Xian’er.
Ling Xian’er still looked completely uninterested in what was happening around her.
“Old man, how dare you tell us to get lost?”
Zhao Sheng, the less important leader of the Giant Sword Sect, was fuming at Liu Qingyun’s words.
“Don’t be ungrateful; I’m trying to save you!” Liu Qingyun retorted, feeling speechless.
“With so many of us, do we even need your help? You should worry about saving yourself first!” Zhao Sheng scoffed.
“Ugh!”
Liu Qingyun shook his head helplessly. Truly, it was as the saying goes: good words are wasted on the damned!
Ling Xian’er, however, couldn’t care less.
At this moment, Xiao Zhenshan and the others quietly withdrew.
They still didn’t care about Xiao Yang’s feelings.
When they encountered danger, they used him as a shield.
Now that the Giant Sword Sect members had surrounded him, they didn’t worry about him at all and simply backed off.
They didn’t give a hoot about Xiao Yang’s fate.
They only cared if Xiao Yang could provide them with resources for cultivation or benefits for the Xiao family.
“Set up the Giant Sword Formation!”
With a command from Zhao Hai, dozens of Giant Sword Sect disciples wielding their massive swords swiftly spread out and began to form their formation, with sword lights flickering everywhere.
Xiao Yang didn’t make a move to stop them from setting up their formation.
This Giant Sword Formation indeed had some tricks up its sleeve.
At the moment the formation activated, the auras of those dozens of disciples merged into one.
The disciples participating in this competition were the elite of the Giant Sword Sect.
Each one of them had the strength of the Transformation Dragon Realm.
Especially the sect leader, who was a Divine Ability Realm martial artist.
He stood at the core of the formation with his sword aura roaring.
An enormous sword shadow flickered around him.
Xiao Yang saw through the formation’s essence at a glance.
This formation merely concentrated the power of dozens of Giant Sword Sect disciples onto the sect leader.
This was the combined strength of dozens of disciples.
Zhao Hai’s sword aura kept growing stronger.
“Interesting!” Xiao Yang smirked.
“Kid, prepare to die!”
Zhao Hai didn’t underestimate Xiao Yang. The fact that Xiao Yang could kill the deputy leader of the Transformation Dragon Realm instantly meant that he had to take this opponent seriously.
He raised his massive sword and swung it down directly at Xiao Yang.
“Whoosh!”
The cold and fierce sword light shot down like lightning straight for Xiao Yang’s head.
The sharp sword light tore apart the void.
This strike could split a small mountain in half.
Indeed, the Giant Sword Sect’s formation was somewhat impressive.
The chilling sword aura surged forward, and even Liu Qingyun and Ling Xian’er outside the formation felt as if they had plunged into an ice cavern.
“Daring to kill a member of the Giant Sword Sect, kid, you’re dead meat.” Zhao Sheng sneered at the sight.
However, the next moment, Zhao Sheng’s expression froze.
Not just him, but everyone else’s eyes widened in shock.
An unbelievable scene unfolded before them.
Xiao Yang simply extended his right hand, using just two fingers to block the massive sword that was slashing down on him.
Such a powerful attack was effortlessly stopped by just two fingers!
Xiao Yang shook his head, feeling exasperated.
He flicked his sword finger.
“Bang!”
With a soft sound, Zhao Hai’s massive sword broke cleanly in half.
The severed half of the sword flew off into who knows where.
Zhao Hai stared at the half sword in his hand, completely dumbfounded.
This was his prized sword! Just like that, a guy blocked it with just a finger?
At that moment, he even questioned if his sword was made of paper; otherwise, how could it be snapped with just a finger?
The Giant Sword Sect disciples were all flabbergasted.
Zhao Sheng’s eyes nearly fell out in disbelief.
“Alright, you should be on your way now.”
As Xiao Yang spoke, he flicked his sword finger once more, and in an instant, countless sword lights shot out from it, piercing through the bodies of all the Giant Sword Sect disciples.
Zhao Hai looked down in terror at the blood hole in his chest before he unwillingly collapsed.
Zhao Sheng had a similar blood hole in his chest.
All the disciples of the Giant Sword Sect had blood holes in their chests.
“No…”
Zhao Sheng fell to the ground in despair, quickly silenced.
The ground was littered with the corpses of the Giant Sword Sect disciples.
A stench of blood pervaded the air.
In one single move, Xiao Yang had sent the members of the Giant Sword Sect on their way.
For guys like the Giant Sword Sect, who killed without discerning right from wrong, their deaths were no loss.
Xiao Zhenshan and the others stood frozen, staring at Xiao Yang among the corpses, their faces pale.
Liu Qingyun, however, was quite resigned.
Ling Xian’er still wore her usual indifferent expression.
Xiao Yang turned and walked back up the mountain.
He didn’t spare a glance back at Xiao Zhenshan and the others.
After the competition, he would sever ties with the Xiao family.
From now on, the Xiao family was the Xiao family; he was himself.
Liu Qingyun started gathering up the battlefield with Ling Xian’er.
There were plenty of good things left on these people, especially that spiritual herb.
Wasn’t that what the Giant Sword Sect and Xiao Zhenshan were fighting over?
Xiao Zhenshan wanted to step forward.
But Chen Ruolan held him back.
Liu Qingyun was a Divine Ability Realm practitioner.
Even if he went up, he wouldn’t be able to beat him. Why go looking for trouble?
Xiao Zhenshan and his group could only watch enviously as Liu Qingyun took the spiritual herb, filled with resentment.
Strong practitioners reign, and the weak are food for the strong—nothing more to be said.
Xiao Zhenshan angrily led everyone away.
After Liu Qingyun finished cleaning up the battlefield, he too headed back up the mountain with Ling Xian’er.
In the following days, the area around the Immortal Tomb opposite the mountain was bustling.
After ten days passed, a terrifying corpse aura burst forth from the Immortal Tomb, causing the nearby flora and fauna to wilt upon contact.
Xiao Yang watched as life was rapidly corroded away under the corpse aura’s influence.
Disciples of the Guiyuan Martial Sect fled in terror.
He saw a Divine Martial Realm elder from the Guiyuan Martial Sect collapse directly under the corpse aura.
“What powerful corpse aura!”
Liu Qingyun stood beside Xiao Yang, witnessing the scene.
“Buzz!”
At that moment, a chilling light shot out from the Immortal Tomb.
“That thing has finally appeared,” Xiao Yang murmured as he looked at the light.
