Chapter 156

Chapter 156: Senior Brother, are you trying to bully the Junior Brother again?

Under the moonlit night, in the Ghost Mist Gorge.

In a giant handprint, everyone thought Xiao Yang had been slapped dead by a powerful figure from the Demon Sect.

The people from Qingyang Sword Sect were heartbroken.

Xiao Yang’s parents and sister were in tears.

Brothers Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang were even more grief-stricken.

Even the junior sister was sobbing loudly.

Li Fan Yin and the others felt it was a pity that talent was wasted.

However, just as Qin Fei was about to lift Xiao Yang’s ‘corpse’ embedded in the ground, Xiao Yang’s eyes suddenly opened.

Qin Fei was instantly scared half to death.

When everyone rushed over to take a look, they were also dumbfounded.

They thought he had come back from the dead.

In this eerie Ghost Mist Gorge, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

“Who said I was dead?”

Xiao Yang suddenly spoke up.

“……”

Qin Fei’s legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

Xiao Zhenshan and Chen Ruolan’s faces turned pale.

Sister Xiao Yue screamed in fright.

Jiang Ting was completely stunned.

The Transmission Elder, Huang Tian, and Luo Xuan were also shocked.

“The Holy Son is not dead?”

Lin Wangchuan was both surprised and delighted, quickly rushing to help Xiao Yang up, overwhelmed with joy.

Song Qiang was equally ecstatic.

Li Fan Yin looked at Xiao Yang in disbelief.

At this moment, Xiao Yang stood up, leaving a human-shaped pit in the ground.

“Senior Brother, you’re alive! Thank goodness…”

Jiang Ting rushed forward, about to leap into Xiao Yang’s arms.

Xiao Yang instinctively dodged.

“Junior Sister, please have some decorum!”

Xiao Yang said nonchalantly.

“Senior Brother, you…”

Jiang Ting’s eyes turned red as she looked at Xiao Yang with a face full of sorrow.

“What… this… this…”

Qin Fei was so frustrated he could barely speak, almost spitting blood three feet away.

Xiao Yang actually didn’t die?

Mo Hongyue, oh Mo Hongyue, despite being one of the top assassins in the Demon Sect, you couldn’t even kill Xiao Yang.

And on top of that, you’re such an unprofessional killer.

You didn’t even deliver the final blow.

If you had, even if Xiao Yang had ten lives, it wouldn’t be enough for him to survive.

“Junior Brother, I’m not dead. Are you disappointed?”

Xiao Yang coldly looked at Qin Fei.

“Haha… Senior Brother is really funny! I’m so happy that Senior Brother is alive, I could die!”

Qin Fei forced a smile, already cursing Mo Hongyue’s ancestors in his heart.

“Senior Brother, are you trying to bully the Junior Brother again?”

Jiang Ting immediately stepped in front of Qin Fei.

Indeed.

Xiao Yang shot a glance at Jiang Ting, who was just crying her eyes out over his ‘death’, and now she was protectively glaring at him.

“Rebellious son, you’re not dead, so I won’t have to send my white-haired self to mourn my black-haired child.”

Xiao Zhenshan’s expression didn’t show much joy upon finding out his son was alive.

Between Xiao Yang and his parents and sister, there were really no feelings involved.

“Yang’er, you really scared your mother to death just now.”

Chen Ruolan said, still feeling some residual fear.

After all, Xiao Yang was her biological son born after a ten-month pregnancy; even if she didn’t like him, she didn’t want him dead.

“Great! My dowry is secured!”

Chu Yue cheered.

“Your dowry has nothing to do with me!”

Xiao Yang said coldly.

“No, big brother, you said you would prepare a dowry for me when I get married!”

Xiao Yue retorted angrily.

“I’ve changed my mind. Is that okay?”

Xiao Yang said impatiently.

No one was concerned about him; they all wanted to suck his blood.

Having been given a second chance at life, he wouldn’t care about them anymore.

In his previous life, he was ensnared by these relatives, following Qin Fei around, always at his mercy.

These relatives were his Achilles’ heel.

Now that he lived again, the sect, parents, sister, Jiang Ting—they were no longer his weaknesses.

“Big brother, you…”

Xiao Yue glared angrily at Xiao Yang.

“Senior Brother, are you okay?”

Song Qiang stepped forward to inspect Xiao Yang up and down.

“Senior Brother, what happened?”

Lin Wangchuan asked curiously.

Considering the scene, it was clear Xiao Yang had been struck by someone.

With that giant handprint, one could tell how terrifying that blow had been.

Everyone looked at Xiao Yang, equally curious about what had happened.

“I just held my breath for a bit.”

Xiao Yang explained.

What else could he say? He almost succumbed to the temptation of demonic powers and had to hold his breath to refine the demon qi entering his body.

Had Mo Hongyue been a bit more observant, he wouldn’t have made it to this point.

But after Mo Hongyue struck him, she just left.

Mo Hongyue was overconfident.

She thought Xiao Yang wouldn’t be able to withstand that blow.

However, plans often deviate from expectations.

Xiao Yang not only survived but also refined the demon qi in his body.

At this moment, he showed signs of a breakthrough in cultivation.

Was this not a case of blessing in disguise?

“Brother Xiao is fine, that’s wonderful.”

Li Fan Yin stepped forward.

If Xiao Yang had died on Shifang Qimen’s territory, they would have had big problems.

Seeing Xiao Yang alive, Li Fan Yin sighed in relief.

“If I’m not dead, some people might not be too happy.”

Xiao Yang said indifferently.

Hearing this, Qin Fei felt an intense rage.

He had failed again.

Why was Xiao Yang so lucky?

Mo Hongyue was too cocky, thinking Xiao Yang wouldn’t survive, which was why she left so quickly.

Qin Fei was furious but had to suppress it.

It was too stifling.

“Since the Holy Son is fine, let’s go back!”

The Transmission Elder stepped forward.

“Mhm!”

Xiao Yang dusted himself off and then soared into the sky, transforming into a beam of sword light that shot out of Ghost Mist Gorge.

The Transmission Elder, Jiang Ting, Qin Fei, Lei Renjie, Song Qiang, and Lin Wangchuan soon followed suit.

Li Fan Yin and the others also returned directly to Nine Heavens City.

Meanwhile, outside an abandoned house near Nine Heavens City, Mo Hongyue stared blankly at the sound transmission jade talisman in her hand.

Xiao Yang was still alive? How could this be?

Mo Hongyue crushed the sound transmission talisman in frustration.

How could Xiao Yang withstand that earth-shattering blow?

Impossible.

Even a powerful warrior in the Divine Martial Realm could not withstand that hit.

She had thought Xiao Yang would surely die.

Who would have thought he was still alive?

“Since the first attempt failed, I’ll just make a second. I refuse to believe I can’t kill you.”

Mo Hongyue said coldly.

In reality, being an assassin was just her side job.

She was the Gun Demon.

After returning to Nine Heavens City, Xiao Yang immediately went back to the Carefree Inn.

When the sun rose, there were still five days until the Tournament of Ages.

Li Fan Yin began the hunt for remnants of the Demon Sect in Nine Heavens City.

Everyone in Nine Heavens City was on edge.

However, despite Li Fan Yin’s grand efforts to capture individuals from the Demon Sect, not a single remnant was caught.

Tomorrow was Qin Fei’s birthday.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yang remembered the birthday gift he had prepared for Qin Fei in his Cosmic Bag.

“Qin Fei, oh Qin Fei, tomorrow at your birthday banquet, I’ll make sure you won’t be able to cry a single tear!”

Xiao Yang’s gaze suddenly turned sharp.
