Chapter 272

Volume 1 Chapter 272: What if the Heavenly Medical Sect’s Grand Elder is Here, Still Gotta Kill!

“You know that grandson of yours, Tang Chen? I killed him with one kick!”

Xiao Yang, who had been silent, suddenly said indifferently to Tang Long.

“What?”

Tang Long’s eyes widened as he stared at Xiao Yang.

Liu Qingyun and Zhao Fan were both shocked.

Xiao Yang had never mentioned that he was the one who killed Tang Chen.

They thought it was the nameless sword saint protecting them who had done the deed.

How could someone who self-destructed their dantian, like Xiao Yang, kill Tang Chen?

“Junior brother, don’t joke around. Everyone saw you self-destruct at the Jiazi competition, how could you have killed Tang Chen?” Liu Qingyun immediately retorted.

“That’s right! My grandson made significant progress after the Jiazi competition. How could a waste like you kill him?” Tang Long sneered at Xiao Yang.

In his eyes, Xiao Yang was just a waste without a trace of martial aura.

His grandson was a dragon among men.

Nangong Hui glanced at Xiao Yang.

Among those present, only she knew that Xiao Yang was not lying.

Heavenly Medical Sect’s senior brother, Tang Chen, was indeed killed by Xiao Yang with a single kick.

But even Tang Long didn’t believe Xiao Yang could kill his grandson Tang Chen.

“Haha…”

Xiao Yang suddenly burst into laughter.

“I speak the truth, and you don’t believe it. How ridiculous!”

Xiao Yang coldly stared at Tang Long.

“Today, whether or not you killed my grandson, you all must die!”

Tang Long grinned wickedly at Xiao Yang and the others.

Soon, flames began to emerge from underground in the valley.

Tang Long activated the formation to draw out the underground volcanic fire.

The stones in the valley started to glow red, as if they were burned by fire.

Everyone felt waves of intense heat sweeping toward them from all directions.

Zhao Fan and Liu Qingyun felt their mouths go dry, as if their lifeblood was evaporating.

Only Xiao Yang and Nangong Hui remained calm.

“You can all die!”

The Grand Elder of the Heavenly Medical Sect, Tang Long, said as he was about to activate the formation’s lethal move, turning Xiao Yang and the others into ashes.

“Wait, Tang Long, if you dare to kill us, don’t you fear that your sect leader will blame you?” Liu Qingyun shouted angrily.

“I am the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Medical Sect; killing you is as easy as squashing a few ants. The sect leader will only scold me a little,” Tang Long replied with a cold laugh.

“This…”

Liu Qingyun became agitated.

He looked at Xiao Yang.

“How could a mere Gathering Fire Formation be of any threat?”

Xiao Yang scoffed.

“What? You can actually see through this formation?” Tang Long was taken aback.

Xiao Yang was young, but he was skilled in formations?

“Subdue the formation!” Xiao Yang shouted, stepping his right foot on the ground.

“Bang!”

With a muffled sound, a powerful spiritual force surged from his brow and shot down through his right foot.

Under his spiritual perception, the entire valley’s formation diagram appeared in his mind.

This was merely a simple Gathering Fire Formation.

It could only draw fire element spiritual energy from the earth veins.

Of course, this great formation could burn everything in the valley to ashes.

“You brat, what do you know about formations? You can die now!” Tang Long attempted to activate the formation’s power.

Zhao Fan and Liu Qingyun were both startled and quickly protected themselves with their flying swords.

But Nangong Hui remained composed.

No one knew how terrifying Xiao Yang’s formation skills were better than her.

The countless cultivators that attacked Qingyun Mountain had all perished, except for her, all by Xiao Yang’s hands.

And most of them died at the hands of Xiao Yang’s formations.

Tang Long wanted to kill Xiao Yang with a formation?

That was simply overestimating his own worth.

“Hmm?”

At this moment, Tang Long finally sensed something was amiss.

The formation was no longer under his control.

“How can this be…”

Tang Long was alarmed.

This valley was the Heavenly Medical Sect’s Fire Spirit Valley.

The alchemists from the sect often came here to gather volcanic fire.

The Gathering Fire Formation was quite powerful.

But today, the formation showed no response.

“Impossible…”

Tang Long repeatedly urged his spiritual energy to activate the Gathering Fire Formation.

However, the entire formation remained unresponsive.

“Childish tricks, dare to show off here!” Xiao Yang disdainfully looked at Tang Long.

“Haven’t you self-destructed your dantian? How could you possibly!” Tang Long stared at Xiao Yang in disbelief.

“Who said self-destructing one’s dantian would make one a waste?” Xiao Yang’s disdain deepened.

“What…”

Tang Long was genuinely shocked.

Indeed, who said self-destructing one’s dantian would doom them?

Liu Qingyun, Zhao Fan, and Nangong Hui were all taken aback by his words.

“Today, I’ll show you what a formation truly is!” Xiao Yang chuckled lightly. The next moment, with a thought, two fire chains burst from beneath Tang Long’s feet, swiftly wrapping around his legs.

Tang Long hurriedly unleashed his flying blades to cut the fire chains.

But in the next instant, countless fire chains swarmed from all directions, wrapping around Tang Long.

There was no suspense.

Tang Long was immediately ensnared by numerous fire chains.

He let out a piercing scream.

The fire chains burned him mercilessly.

The underground volcanic fire was incredibly fierce.

Even Tang Long, a Grand Elder of the Divine Martial Realm from the Heavenly Medical Sect, was nearly roasted alive by the flames erupting from the fire chains.

“…”

Liu Qingyun and Zhao Fan were dumbfounded by the scene.

At this moment, screams echoed throughout the valley.

Those disciples brought by Tang Long were suddenly ensnared by fire chains erupting from the ground and hoisted into the air, hanging upside down.

These disciples were all from the Tang family.

“Xiao Yang, you dare…”

Seeing this, Tang Long’s eyes nearly bulged out with rage.

“Hmph!”

Xiao Yang shot a cold glance at Tang Long and then raised his right hand.

“Snap!”

He simply snapped his fingers.

In the next moment, violent flames erupted from the fire chains, incinerating the disciples of the Heavenly Medical Sect into ashes.

“I’ll kill you, Xiao Yang!”

Tang Long bellowed, his anger boiling; these were the elite members of the Tang family, a total of thirteen—now completely wiped out by Xiao Yang.

Tang Long was so furious he nearly spat blood.

Their Tang family was gravely weakened now.

“Do you think you can kill me?” Xiao Yang chuckled, shaking his head.

He raised his right hand again.

Liu Qingyun and the others knew that with another snap of his fingers, this Grand Elder would also be turned to ashes.

Tang Long understood his life and death rested on Xiao Yang’s whim.

“No, spare me! I was wrong, I was really wrong! I shouldn’t have thought about killing you, please let me go!”

Tang Long had been so defiant moments before, yet now he crumbled instantly.

Who wouldn’t be scared for their life? Who would dare not to beg for mercy?

However, what Tang Long didn’t realize was that his begging for mercy and Xiao Yang’s intention to kill him were two entirely different matters.

Could his pleading save his life?

No way.

You beg, and I’ll still kill you.

“You can join your grandson Tang Chen now.”

Xiao Yang said while preparing to snap his fingers and send Tang Long on his way.

“Junior brother, wait!”

Liu Qingyun hurriedly stopped Xiao Yang.

He had been stunned when Xiao Yang killed those disciples of the Heavenly Medical Sect with a snap of his fingers.

Once he regained his senses, he saw Xiao Yang still intended to kill Tang Long.

What Xiao Yang killed before was merely the disciples of the Heavenly Medical Sect.

But Tang Long was different; he was the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Medical Sect.

Tang Long held significant power in the sect.

If they killed Tang Long, it would completely sever ties between the Qingyun Sect and the Heavenly Medical Sect.

Xiao Yang looked at Liu Qingyun.

“Junior brother, should we just let him go?”

Liu Qingyun cautiously suggested.

“Let him go?”

Xiao Yang was taken aback.

“Junior brother, have you forgotten why we came here?”

Liu Qingyun reminded him.

“Haha, you dare not kill me!”

Tang Long suddenly regained some bravado.

“You little brat, still not going to let me go?”

Tang Long glared at Xiao Yang coldly.

“Pfft!”

Xiao Yang scoffed dismissively and extended his right hand.

“No…”

Tang Long was utterly terrified.

“Snap!”

Xiao Yang snapped his fingers.

Then, the fire chains tightened around Tang Long, and the next moment, he turned to ashes.

Tang Long could hardly fathom that Xiao Yang truly dared to kill him.

He didn’t even have time to let out a scream before his spirit was extinguished.

“…”

Liu Qingyun was left dumbstruck.

Zhao Fan was also in shock.

Even Nangong Hui was momentarily taken aback.

Xiao Yang was so decisive in his killings.

He had just killed Tang Long, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Medical Sect.

But Xiao Yang didn’t care at all.

“How dare you kill the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Medical Sect? You will all die!”

At that moment, a furious roar echoed from afar, and soon, a figure appeared above the valley, looking down at those below.

Xiao Yang looked up.

He saw a white-haired, youthful-faced man.

“Haha, so it’s only okay for your Heavenly Medical Sect to kill me, and I’m not allowed to kill your disciples?”

Xiao Yang laughed heartily.

“What?”

The newcomer was clearly taken aback.

This Fire Spirit Valley was no ordinary place.

It was evident that Tang Long had brought these people here to kill them.

“I am Liu Qingyun, Sect Leader of the Qingyun Sect. If you Heavenly Medical Sect want to kill us, you must give us an explanation, or else face the consequences!”

Liu Qingyun stood firm.

“You…”

The man was enraged.

These people had just killed the Grand Elder Tang Long, and now they wanted to push back?

The white-haired middle-aged man was both shocked and furious.

“Damn it, you people!”

He erupted in anger.

“Scram! Or I’ll kill you too.”

Xiao Yang coldly stared at the man in the sky.

“No one has ever dared to be so arrogant before me, Tang Zhan!”

The white-haired middle-aged man shouted back angrily.

“Is that so? Well, someone’s being arrogant right now.”

Xiao Yang replied indifferently.

“Tang Zhan, is that really you?”

Liu Qingyun suddenly exclaimed.

The great senior brother of the Heavenly Medical Sect and the previous Holy Son of the sect.

Tang Zhan’s cultivation was incredibly powerful.

Even Tang Long from earlier was just an ant in front of him.

With Tang Zhan’s arrival, trouble had come.
