Chapter 249

Volume 1 Chapter 249: Only by Defeating Me Can You Leave Alive

At the summit of Qingyun Mountain, in front of the Qingyun Great Hall, on the square.

Xiao Yang stomped down, crushing the leader of the Refining Sect, Wang Ao.

Everyone was dumbfounded by this scene.

No one in the square dared to attack Xiao Yang anymore.

They scattered like cockroaches when the light comes on.

Those with higher cultivation and fighting power ran the fastest.

Gui Zixiu, the esteemed elder of the Guiyuan Martial Sect, fled faster than a rabbit.

Even those masked figures in black fled swiftly.

Xiao Yang grinned as he watched the crowd scatter in fear.

In the next moment, he planted his right foot on the ground and shot toward Gui Zixiu like a bolt of lightning.

Gui Zixiu was so scared he felt his soul leave his body.

“Xuanwu True Body!”

Gui Zixiu shouted angrily, channeling all his energy into his Protective Gang Qi.

A massive Xuanwu phantom surged from his body.

This was the protective skill of the Guiyuan Martial Sect.

With Gui Zixiu’s level, once he activated this skill, it was like putting on the shell of the divine beast Xuanwu; no sword or weapon could harm him.

Even a Flying Sword from a swordsman couldn’t break through his Protective Gang Qi.

“Haha, watch me crush your turtle shell with one punch!”

Xiao Yang laughed heartily and threw a punch directly at Gui Zixiu.

His fist slammed into the Xuanwu phantom that was emanating from Gui Zixiu.

The violent force erupted instantly.

Gui Zixiu’s Protective Gang Qi formed Xuanwu phantom was smashed to bits.

Gui Zixiu let out a pitiful scream as he was sent flying, crashing into the ground a good dozen yards away, rolling a few times before lying there like a dead dog.

“Pathetic!”

Xiao Yang shook his head in irritation.

Even a martial arts master in the Divine Martial Realm was no match for him.

A Half Saint might barely hold their ground against him.

But how many Half Saints were there in the entire Northern Region?

Xiao Yang knew there were still big shots hiding on Qingyun Mountain.

Those guys were really good at hiding.

Weren’t they planning to just stay concealed in the mountain and wait for him to withdraw his formation before escaping?

Xiao Yang couldn’t care less about that; today, he wanted to have some real fun.

In his reborn life, this was his first chance to truly enjoy the kill.

He strode up to Gui Zixiu.

“Spare… spare me… spare me… ah!”

Gui Zixiu was terrified out of his wits because he didn’t want to die.

He thought that when Xiao Yang self-destructed his dantian and lost all cultivation, he’d be easy pickings for Gui Zixiu.

Who would have guessed that Xiao Yang would pull the old “playing dumb to catch the tiger” trick in front of everyone?

He regretted it deeply.

Everything was going fine for him at the Guiyuan Martial Sect, where the Sect Leader Chu Zhenbei and other elders were up on Yuanwu Mountain getting schooled by the will of the celestial path, now dead.

With him being the highest-ranked elder left in the Guiyuan Martial Sect, he was basically the ruler now.

He should have been running wild in the Guiyuan Martial Sect.

What was he thinking trying to off Xiao Yang?

The territory and resources acquired by Qingyun Sect in the Grand Assembly couldn’t possibly compare to his life.

He was just too greedy.

He thought the plan was foolproof.

Who would have thought it would end like this?

“If I really lose my cultivation, would you let me go?”

Xiao Yang coldly looked down at Gui Zixiu on the ground.

“Yes, yes, yes! If you lose your cultivation, I absolutely won’t touch you!” Gui Zixiu said anxiously.

“Hmph, do you think I would believe you?” Xiao Yang sneered; all these guys were hypocritical fakers.

“Go on your way!”

Without wasting another word, Xiao Yang lifted his foot and stomped down.

The Esteemed Elder of the Guiyuan Martial Sect joined Wang Ao as another victim beneath Xiao Yang’s foot.

At this moment, there wasn’t a single living person visible in the square.

“These guys really ran fast, but what good is it?”

Xiao Yang chuckled lightly and slowly walked to the center of the square.

He sat down, took out the formation disk.

The disk was used for controlling formations.

As long as he was under the cover of the great formation he set up, no one could hide.

This was his turf.

On his turf, he was the master.

The formation disk floated in front of Xiao Yang.

The diagram of the Ten Absolute Ten Kill Array appeared on the disk.

“Wind rise!”

Xiao Yang activated the formation disk.

The next moment, a strong wind whipped up on Qingyun Mountain.

Surprisingly, while the winds howled around Qingyun Mountain, the mist cover above was not blown away, remaining like a shroud over the entire mountain.

People outside still couldn’t see what was happening on the mountain.

At this time, those hiding on the mountain were all in a panic.

“Cloud surge!”

At the mountaintop square, Xiao Yang continued to manipulate the formation disk, controlling the changes in the array.

Countless dark clouds gathered over Qingyun Mountain, darkening the sky as if night had fallen.

“Thunder come!”

With a loud shout from Xiao Yang, thunder suddenly crashed from the dark clouds, shaking the heavens.

“This…”

Those outside the mountain were shocked by the overwhelming sound.

The thunder reverberated from Qingyun Mountain, echoing among the peaks.

“What is happening in there?”

Qin Fei was both surprised and furious, as he had already learned that the life token of the Celestial Remnant Old Demon stored in the Demon Sect’s headquarters had shattered.

A life token was something powerful figures kept in the headquarters of the Demon Sect as proof of their existence.

If the Celestial Remnant Old Demon’s life token shattered, it only meant one thing: he was dead.

Now that the life token shattered, the Celestial Remnant Old Demon on Qingyun Mountain was likely in deep trouble.

So far, only Mo Hongyue had managed to escape from Qingyun Mountain.

But the masked Sword Saint had pursued her; whether Mo Hongyue could escape from the Sword Saint’s grip was anyone’s guess.

Given Mo Hongyue’s status in the Demon Sect, she didn’t have the privilege of storing her life token in the headquarters.

Jiang Qitian was shocked.

Those hidden figures also couldn’t help but be curious.

At this time, blinding lightning streaked from the dark clouds down onto Qingyun Mountain.

Every bolt of lightning targeted those hiding in the mountain.

Those who thought they were hidden well were all scared out of their wits by this scene.

This was lightning, the might of heaven and earth!

Even the strong practitioners who had yet to make a move were getting antsy.

“How is this possible? Who can tell me why Xiao Yang is controlling the formation?”

Someone roared as they were struck by a bolt of lightning and turned into a charcoal briquette.

Xiao Yang showed no mercy.

At this moment, the formation disk before him displayed the shadow of Qingyun Mountain, with bright dots scattered across it.

Those dots were people hiding on Qingyun Mountain.

How could anyone possibly hide from him?

With a thunderous command, lightning continuously struck down from the sky, connecting heaven and earth.

A terrifying destructive aura flooded every inch of the void.

People were being killed left and right by the lightning.

Against such an attack, weaker cultivators had only one way out: the grave.

Xiao Yang looked at the floating formation platform before him, a smile tugging at his lips.

After the round of thunder strikes, over half of the bright dots on the formation disk vanished.

The remaining dots were all strong enough to withstand the lightning strikes.

Counting them up, there were still twelve dots left on the disk.

“Haha… So you can withstand lightning, huh? Let’s have another round!”

Xiao Yang laughed as he activated the formation disk once more.

The thundercloud shrouding Qingyun Mountain began to move.

“This…”

The survivors from the lightning strikes looked up in shock at the quickly gathering thundercloud above.

They could sense the destructive energy building up in the thundercloud.

Flashes of lightning flickered within the clouds.

They were terrified of another round of lightning strikes.

Then they noticed that there were no thunderclouds at the mountaintop.

“How ridiculous!”

They realized Xiao Yang was trying to force them to climb the mountain.

The twelve clever survivors suddenly dashed toward the summit.

They all understood that the only way to survive was to defeat Xiao Yang and seize the formation disk from him.

“Hmph!”

Xiao Yang watched the dots moving quickly across the formation disk, a hint of a smile on his face.

“It’s about to rain!”

As he spoke, he activated another lethal move from the Ten Absolute Ten Kill Array.

Then, it actually began to rain on Qingyun Mountain, but it wasn’t just any ordinary rain.

The raindrops transformed into razor-sharp sword qi as they fell from the thunderclouds.

It was literally a rain of swords from the heavens!

The denser the raindrops, the denser the sword rain.

No one could evade such a concentrated attack.

The Ten Absolute Ten Kill Array set up by Xiao Yang could wipe out even hundreds of thousands of troops without exception.

Raindrops turned into sword qi, piercing the void.

The people below were terrified beyond belief.

They could only raise their protective barriers, pull out their protective treasures, and charge toward the mountain.

On Qingyun Mountain, a brilliant golden light was the most eye-catching figure rapidly ascending towards the summit.

This was a bald man, his entire body enveloped in golden radiance, his skin turned gold.

This was the manifestation of the Diamond True Body being pushed to its limits.

The sword qi created from the falling raindrops struck this individual, but exerted no harm whatsoever.

Meanwhile, in another direction, a mysterious powerhouse activated his Protective Gang Qi, charging fiercely up the mountain.

However, not everyone could withstand the sword qi from the raindrops.

In this torrential downpour, countless sword qi rained down.

Three glowing figures vanished from the formation disk in an instant.

These three people didn’t make it to the summit; they died halfway there.

Only nine strong practitioners successfully reached the summit.

There were no thunderclouds at the mountaintop.

So there was no sword rain.

But Xiao Yang was right there.

“You finally understand, right? Only by defeating me and seizing the formation disk from me can you leave Qingyun Mountain alive.”

As Xiao Yang spoke, he slowly stood up from the ground.

The formation disk hovered before him.

The nine powerful practitioners looked at the formation disk in front of Xiao Yang, their shock reaching its peak.
