Chapter 359: Instant Kill Half Saint

Deep within a valley in the northern mountains of Yuanlong City.

In front of the cave, Qin Huang was both shocked and furious, feeling utterly unwilling.

He had been severely injured with just one punch from Xiao Yang.

Wasn’t Xiao Yang supposed to be a useless guy who blew up his dantian?

How could he possibly have such immense power?

Moreover, that wasn’t just raw martial body strength.

The punch that just struck Qin Huang’s chest clearly touched the power of the Holy Realm.

In other words, Xiao Yang was a Half Saint!

At this moment, Qin Huang finally believed Xiao Yang’s words.

Qin Fei, his so-called third brother, had truly sent him to his doom!

Qin Fei knew how strong Xiao Yang was but still wanted him to kill Xiao Yang.

Wasn’t that basically signing his death warrant?

“Regretting it now is too late!”

Xiao Yang looked at Qin Huang with a smirk on his face.

“Hmph, you think it’s that easy to kill me, Qin Huang?”

With the Demon Blade in hand, Qin Huang unleashed his ace move.

“Wham!”

The Demon Blade in Qin Huang’s hand buzzed angrily as he swung it down towards Xiao Yang’s head.

As the blade’s light descended, the void itself seemed to split apart.

Xiao Yang chuckled, not even bothering to dodge this powerful strike.

“Clang!”

The blade landed hard on Xiao Yang’s head.

“What…”

Qin Huang was dumbfounded; it felt as if he had struck an indestructible divine iron. Not only did he fail to harm Xiao Yang, but he also suffered from the rebound force, causing blood to streak across his hand.

The Demon Blade rebounded upwards.

Qin Huang grasped the blade tightly, panicking and retreating without a second thought.

But it was too late.

Xiao Yang’s fist struck his chest again.

Qin Huang watched, wide-eyed, as the fist hurtled towards him before making contact.

His eyes nearly popped out of his skull.

“Bang!”

“Crack!”

The sound of impact and bone shattering echoed simultaneously.

This time, Xiao Yang’s fist erupted like a volcano.

Qin Huang, along with the blade, was sent flying by the force of the punch and crashed several dozen feet away, rolling into the mist shrouding the valley.

A bloody scent spread through the air.

“Hmm?”

Xiao Yang’s expression changed as he dashed forward, waving his hand to disperse the mist ahead.

Qin Huang had vanished without a trace.

“Hmph!”

A smile crept onto Xiao Yang’s face as he chuckled softly.

“Qin Fei, I wonder how you’ll handle the wrath of your dear big brother.”

Xiao Yang spoke, intentionally letting Qin Huang go.

Since Qin Fei had sent Qin Huang to his death, Qin Huang would undoubtedly harbor a deep hatred for Qin Fei.

Once Qin Huang returned, he would not spare Qin Fei.

In his previous life, he had suffered terribly due to Qin Fei, ending up dead beneath Qin Fei’s blade.

This time around, the tides had turned, and it was his turn to mess with Qin Fei.

Xiao Yang returned to the cave’s entrance.

The Qi fluctuations emerging from the valley were growing stronger.

Zhao Fan was about to break through.

However, just at that moment, powerful figures appeared atop the peaks surrounding the valley under the cover of night.

Gui Tian had arrived.

Other strong practitioners from the Demon Sect were also present.

Killers from the Smoke Rain Tower had shown up as well.

Even some righteous figures had come.

None among them were weak.

All possessed Half Saint-level cultivation, each exuding a terrifying killing intent.

In an instant, the entire valley was enveloped in an oppressive atmosphere of death.

Xiao Yang subtly dispatched the Ice-Bound Profound Flood Dragon to guard Zhao Fan within the cave before standing up and taking measured steps to the center of the valley.

Seven divine senses instantaneously locked onto Xiao Yang.

“Haha…”

Xiao Yang stood tall, scanning the crowd with an uplifted head and laughing to the heavens.

“I’m right here, if you have the guts, come at me!”

Xiao Yang roared.

“Xiao Yang, today you will die.”

Gui Tian leaped from the peak and dropped directly into the valley.

“He’s mine!”

A figure enveloped in Demon Qi charged down.

“Cut it out, only I have the right to claim Xiao Yang’s head!”

Another figure landed before Xiao Yang.

The others were all black-clad figures hiding in the shadows.

The seven Half Saints surrounded Xiao Yang.

To them, Xiao Yang was a moving treasure.

The bounty on his head was a staggering fortune, even appealing to Half Saints.

Gui Tian wanted to kill Xiao Yang, but it wasn’t just for the big bounty.

There was a deep history of grievances between Xiao Yang and the Gui family of the Guiyuan Martial Sect.

Many from the Gui family had fallen at his hands.

“Xiao Yang, do you know that you can’t escape, so you decided to come out and die?” Gui Tian glared coldly.

“Whoosh!”

A mountain breeze swirled, kicking up dust and debris.

Xiao Yang’s clothes billowed in the wind.

“Those two guys over there? I killed them!”

Xiao Yang pointed at the two corpses in the distance.

“Are those the Black and White Impermanence?”

A black-clad figure, revealing only his eyes, exclaimed in surprise.

“Black and White Impermanence from the Smoke Rain Tower?”

The others gasped in shock.

To be fair, the Black and White Impermanence were notorious figures in the assassination world, the very pride of the Smoke Rain Tower.

Xiao Yang actually killed the Black and White Impermanence?

“Haha… how is that possible?”

Gui Tian mocked with a laugh.

“Kid, do you think you can scare us?”

The black-clad figure spoke coldly.

“Do you think that saying this will frighten us? You’re too naive.”

The figure swirled in Demon Qi sneered dismissively.

They all believed that Xiao Yang was just attempting to bluster about killing the Black and White Impermanence to frighten them away.

“Childish!”

Gui Tian scoffed.

“Ah, in this day and age, telling the truth isn’t believed anymore?”

Xiao Yang shook his head in helplessness.

It was time for him to show his true power.

In his eyes, these people were already dead.

For once he revealed his true cultivation, they would meet their end.

“A useless person thinks he can intimidate us? It’s downright laughable.”

A black-clad figure sneered.

“I’ll be the first to kill you!”

Xiao Yang pointed at this figure and said nonchalantly.

“Haha… you want to kill me? What a joke!”

The black-clad figure looked down on Xiao Yang and burst into laughter.

With a flick of his right hand, Xiao Yang moved at lightning speed.

In the next moment, the black-clad figure’s laughter abruptly stopped.

He was split in half by Xiao Yang’s invisible sword Qi.

Not even his primordial spirit could escape as his physical form was obliterated by Xiao Yang’s sword.

“…”

Everyone was stunned.

The expressions on their faces froze.

“What…”

Gui Tian’s lips moved, shocked into silence.

Xiao Yang just killed a Half Saint in one move?

How could this be?

That was a Half Saint!

Wait a minute, wasn’t he supposed to have blown up his dantian? How could he still unleash sword Qi?

Gui Tian realized this and was struck with horror.

“You all will die today!”

Xiao Yang declared to the crowd, word by word.

“What…”

Everyone gasped in disbelief.

At that moment, they realized Xiao Yang had been faking his weakness all along.

His cultivation hadn’t disappeared; in fact, he had advanced to Half Saint.

Everyone found it hard to believe.

After all, Xiao Yang had self-destructed his dantian during the decade-long competition—the event witnessed by countless people. It wasn’t an act, it had genuinely happened!

Was it possible that Xiao Yang had somehow repaired his dantian?

Everyone was utterly shocked.

“He’s all alone, and we have six. Together, we can’t kill him?”

Gui Tian raged.

“Exactly…”

The Half Saint-level assassin from the Smoke Rain Tower nodded.

“I’ll be the second to kill you!”

Xiao Yang pointed at the Smoke Rain Tower assassin.

“…”

The assassin was startled and immediately retreated.

However, just as he moved, a moment later, he too was cut in half by another invisible sword Qi.

Another instant kill.

Once again, both his physical form and his primordial spirit were annihilated by Xiao Yang’s sword.

Xiao Yang decided who would live and who would die.

This left the remaining five Half Saints stunned, nearly dropping their eyes out from shock.

All of them were left in fear.

They never would have dreamt that Xiao Yang was this powerful.

“All together now!”

Gui Tian bellowed, throwing a full-force punch at Xiao Yang.

“Kill!”

The other Half Saint from the Demon Sect roared, unleashing a demon sword that transformed into a demonic dragon aimed straight for Xiao Yang.

The remaining three Half Saints also went all out.

“Roar!”

One of them howled, summoning a frightening Beast Shadow that exploded with wild power.

This individual charged at Xiao Yang like a peerless fierce beast.

“The Beast Control Manor’s Ten Thousand Beast Mysterious Skill?”

Xiao Yang’s gaze turned frigid at the sight.

The other two were unleashing countless weapons, attacking him from all directions.

One of them, engulfed in demon energy, was even transforming into a great demon.

The Refining Sect, and the Demonic Tribe?

After the incident on Qingyun Mountain, the Refining Sect had suffered greatly, their Sect Leader, Sect Holy Son, and dozens of Inner Disciples all defeated by him.

The Refining Sect was already in a weakened state, and they still wanted to kill him?

Xiao Yang truly found it ridiculous.

And the Demonic Tribe?

When had he ever crossed paths with any of their kind?

Could this guy be one of Bai Li’s big demons?

No matter who they were, if they sought to end his life, they would all die!

In this second life, he would no longer be merciful.

“Kill!”

Xiao Yang took a deep breath, and at the next moment, exhaled with a thunderous shout.

His voice boomed like thunder, making everyone’s ears buzz and their blood surge.

At that moment, as Xiao Yang prepared to strike, Gui Tian feigned an attack before turning to flee.

Gui Tian acted as if he was desperately fighting, but he had long intended to escape.

However, the other four Half Saints genuinely charged at Xiao Yang with everything they had.

Gui Tian was too cunning, attempting to slip away on his own.

The remaining four Half Saints were nearly enraged to the point of spitting blood.

“Sky-Sweeping Sword…”

Xiao Yang raised his sword finger and swept it horizontally.

Countless invisible sword Qi pierced through the four Half Saints.

The Futian Sword Qi was utterly unstoppable, directly dismantling their attacks as the sword Qi shot through their bodies.

“No…”

“This…”

The four Half Saints fell with immense unwillingness.

It was only in their dying moments that they realized they had made a fatal mistake.

They should never underestimate any opponent.

Meanwhile, Gui Tian had long fled far away.

Xiao Yang had just wanted to give chase when a powerful Qi fluctuation erupted from the cave.

Zhao Fan had broken through.
