Chapter 84: Beating Up That Hypocritical Master!

In the Earth Veins, the Taiyin Dragon Pearl above Xiao Yang’s head was absorbing the Earth Veins Spiritual Energy faster and faster.

The power fluctuations radiating from the Taiyin Dragon Pearl grew stronger, awakening the spiritual energy of the entire Ice and Fire Earth Veins.

Everyone around felt as if a giant mountain was pressing down on them, their backs nearly unable to straighten.

Everyone was utterly terrified.

Could it be that this Sword Saint was planning to use the entire Ice and Fire Earth Veins to refine a supreme treasure?

At this moment, however, Xiao Yang was channeling the power of the Taiyin Dragon Pearl, unleashing the Futian Sword Technique, causing a full force of twelve levels of Sword Intent to erupt, directing countless swords towards Jiang Qitian.

“Kneel before me!”

Xiao Yang’s voice was incredibly authoritative, resembling an unparalleled Sword Saint, as he pointed his sword finger down towards Jiang Qitian.

“Rumble…”

The whole void trembled.

His pointed finger descended like an avalanche, as if heaven was collapsing.

Chu Lingxiao, Li Chenyu, Monk Dume, Daoist Tianxu, and Knife God Huang Tian were all trembling with fear.

The wrath of a Sword Saint was truly terrifying!

Jiang Qitian was shaking all over, yet he stubbornly stood his ground, refusing to kneel.

“I’d rather die than kneel!”

Jiang Qitian gritted his teeth, his face turning crimson, veins bulging on his forehead, and every bone in his body felt like it was about to snap under the pressure, yet he simply would not kneel.

Xiao Yang knew full well that he couldn’t simply crush Jiang Qitian, who wielded the Qingyang Sword, with his own strength.

After all, Jiang Qitian had just defeated Li Chenyu in one move.

But, Jiang Qitian was having a really bad day.

Xiao Yang was currently in a subtle state with the Taiyin Dragon Pearl.

He could harness the power of the Taiyin Dragon Pearl for himself.

At this moment, aided by the power of the Taiyin Dragon Pearl, his combat strength was comparable to his peak in his past life.

Forget Jiang Qitian with the Qingyang Sword; even the Sword Saint ancestor of the Fuyiao Sword Sect would be no match for him in a fight.

To be clear, in his previous life, Xiao Yang had also reached the Sacred Martial Realm, becoming unmatched when querying swords in the Northern Territory at his peak.

Having been reborn, all he lacked was cultivation level.

“Don’t want to kneel, huh?”

Xiao Yang took a step closer to Jiang Qitian. With each step he took, the pressure on Jiang Qitian doubled.

After taking three steps, Jiang Qitian’s back was bending under the weight.

“Kneel!”

With a loud shout from Xiao Yang, he brought his foot down heavily.

“Boom!”

Jiang Qitian’s legs buckled, and he fell to his knees, crashing down into the ground so hard that the hard surface cracked beneath him.

He finally couldn’t endure the immense power that felt like a godly mountain pressing down anymore.

“Poof!”

Jiang Qitian was alarmed, furious, anxious, and ashamed, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

“Senior, please spare my father…”

Jiang Ting cried out.

“You will kneel whether you want to or not!”

Xiao Yang disregarded Jiang Ting’s pleas, his gaze cold and looking down from behind his golden dragon-patterned mask at Jiang Qitian, who was kneeling on the ground, still desperately clutching the Qingyang Sword.

Surrounding Jiang Qitian in the void were countless swords pointing at him.

With a single thought, Xiao Yang could make his hypocritical master experience the sensation of being pierced by ten thousand swords.

“You…”

Jiang Qitian gritted his teeth and glared at Xiao Yang, shaking with anger, turning red in the face.

Li Chenyu, Chu Lingxiao, and the others couldn’t help but admire Jiang Qitian.

Even at this moment, Jiang Qitian still wouldn’t back down.

Xiao Yang completely ignored Jiang Ting’s cries.

In his past life, a tear from Jiang Ting would have thrown him into disarray.

In that life, he couldn’t stand to see her tears.

Whenever she cried, he’d surrender and lower his head.

But now, even if Jiang Ting cried her eyes out in front of him, he wouldn’t feel even the slightest pity.

When he liked her, she was precious; now that he didn’t, she was nothing more than grass.

“What’s wrong? Still not convinced?”

Xiao Yang was somewhat surprised that Jiang Qitian’s stubbornness was so unyielding.

“Not convinced!”

Jiang Qitian snarled in rage.

Thinking back to his past life where Jiang Qitian had toyed with him, Xiao Yang suddenly felt an uncontrollable anger rise.

“Boom!”

Xiao Yang delivered a punch right to Jiang Qitian’s face.

You’re the leader of the Qingyang Sword Sect, huh? High and mighty, huh? Trying to trick me into doing your bidding, huh? This time, I’ll beat you so hard you’ll question your life choices.

“……”

The crowd watched, eyes nearly popping out in shock.

After taking that punch, Jiang Qitian’s nose was bent out of shape, his front teeth knocked out, and his face was a bloody mess.

“Not convinced, huh…”

“Boom!”

“I’ll make you convinced…”

“Boom!”

“I’ll beat you into submission…”

“Boom!”

“Hard bones, huh…”

“Boom!”

“I’ll see if it’s your bones that are hard or my fists…”

“Boom!”

In everyone’s bewildered gaze, Xiao Yang launched a furious beatdown on Jiang Qitian, kicking and punching him relentlessly.

He wouldn’t pass up this once-in-a-lifetime chance to thrash Jiang Qitian.

Miss this opportunity, and he might not get another shot at it.

Thus, Xiao Yang went all out, fists and feet flying, smashing Jiang Qitian down until he was rolling on the ground, scream after scream escaping his lips.

“Please spare me, senior! Please, stop, please stop…”

In the distance, Jiang Ting was desperately bowing repeatedly to Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang was deaf to her pleas.

Only after he had turned Jiang Qitian into a pig’s head and landed a few final powerful kicks did he finally stop.

“This…”

Everyone was left dumbfounded.

This Sword Saint was way too violent!

The once dignified leader of the Qingyang Sword Sect, who had looked down on all, was now reduced to a pig-headed mess.

If it weren’t for seeing it firsthand, who would dare believe it?

“What a relief, finally got it out of my system.”

Xiao Yang felt incredibly liberated.

In his past life, he had been completely betrayed by Jiang Qitian, but now, he could finally get his revenge.

Xiao Yang bent down to pick up the fallen Qingyang Sword.

“A peerless divine sword in your hands only makes it look like a piece of trash, not even worth comparing to scrap iron.”

As Xiao Yang spoke, he gripped the hilt and pulled out the Qingyang Sword.

“What…”

“How is this possible…”

Everyone watched in disbelief.

This was the Qingyang Sword, the weapon that only the leader of the Qingyang Sword Sect had the right to wield!

And yet this Sword Saint could pull it out?

Xiao Yang retracted his sword intent.

The countless swords hovering in the air immediately plummeted like rain.

Everyone quickly activated their sword techniques to retrieve their flying swords.

Jiang Qitian’s flying sword also fell to the ground.

The pressure on everyone instantly vanished.

Everyone exhaled in relief.

Jiang Ting hurriedly scrambled to her feet and rushed towards Jiang Qitian.

Xiao Yang casually swung the Qingyang Sword a few times, and wherever the sword light passed, it felt as if the void was being severed, with Sword Qi soaring for dozens of feet, leaving several sword marks on the hard ground.

The chilling sword energy erupted from the Qingyang Sword made the prominent figures around feel a chill run down their spines, frightened out of their wits.

“Clang!”

Xiao Yang sheathed the sword and then tossed the Qingyang Sword right in front of Jiang Qitian.

Jiang Qitian lay on the ground like a dead dog, utterly disheartened.

“Father…”

Jiang Ting cried, tears streaming down her face.

The Law Enforcement Elder and Transmission Elder rushed over.

“Leader…”

Seeing Jiang Qitian in such a miserable state, everyone was filled with rage and sorrow.

Jiang Qitian himself was consumed with humiliation and fury, wishing he could die right there.

Yet, he couldn’t die.

He had finally managed to sit in the leader’s position; he hadn’t been in power long enough!

There was no way he could give up the power he had fought so hard for!

He had poured countless efforts, even resorted to unscrupulous means, just to ascend to this position!

“The Sword Saint must not be insulted! Jiang Qitian, how dare you offend the Sword Saint, who has not yet killed you; you have already been fortunate.”

Monk Dume put his hands together.

All the members of the Qingyang Sword Sect were enraged but silent.

Jiang Ting and the others couldn’t recognize the masked Sword Saint as their own Senior Brother.

Xiao Yang shot them a cold glance before turning to leave.

In the next moment, Jiang Qitian suddenly leaped up from the ground.

A sword shadow glinted like lightning from the ground, directly aimed at Xiao Yang’s neck.

“Die!”

Jiang Qitian shouted, his face twisted in rage.

“This…”

Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Jiang Qitian was actually trying to ambush the Sword Saint?

Xiao Yang swiftly reached out his right hand, grabbing the starry sword heading for him and then spun around, delivering a fierce kick to Jiang Qitian’s chest that sent him flying.

“Father!”

Jiang Ting cried out in alarm.

“Returning it to you!”

Xiao Yang said as he waved his hand, sending the starry sword piercing back toward Jiang Qitian.

“Father, be careful!”

Seeing this, Jiang Ting lunged forward to shield Jiang Qitian.

“What…”

Xiao Yang was surprised; just as the starry sword was about to impale Jiang Ting, a sword light suddenly flashed from the side, slicing right through the starry sword.

Then, a figure charged in, grabbing Jiang Ting and soaring into the sky towards the exit of the Earth Veins.

“Ting’er…”

Jiang Qitian was horrified and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He hastily summoned his starry sword back, disregarding his injuries, and rode his flying sword to chase after them.

The Transmission Elder stepped forward to pick up the Qingyang Sword from the ground, then cast a deep look at the masked Xiao Yang before he and the Law Enforcement Elder prepared to leave with the sect disciples.

But just then…

“Rumble!”

A sudden massive explosion echoed from deep within the Earth Veins, and the ground shook violently as if a dragon was flipping over, causing a great upheaval.

Ice and fire powers surged forth from the depths of the Earth Veins, destroying everything in their path.

The crowd gasped in shock; it was already too late to flee.

The forces of ice and fire erupted like multiple volcanoes, unstoppable from the depths of the Earth Veins.

This scene looked like the world was collapsing. Even the strongest figures wouldn’t withstand such power.

The ice and fire forces raging from the depths had already overwhelmed everything.

The speed at which this destructive force erupted was too quick; anyone caught in its path was reduced to dust before they even had time to scream.

Chu Lingxiao, Knife God Huang Tian, Li Chenyu, Daoist Tianxu, seeing this scene were utterly terrified and hastily threw everything they had to withstand it.

Yet, even they felt as weak as ants against this power.

Li Chenyu and the others were instantly sent flying, spitting blood.

“We’re done for this time…”

All of them felt despair.

It was impossible to escape; everyone in the Earth Veins was doomed to die!

However, at that moment, Xiao Yang was being pulled forward by the Taiyin Dragon Pearl, moving to shield everyone behind him.

No, please, no!

Xiao Yang was utterly terrified.

Just as he was about to be engulfed by the terrifying spiritual energy surging out, a gigantic dragon shadow suddenly burst forth from the Taiyin Dragon Pearl floating above his head.

“Roar!”

The giant dragon roared, shaking the heavens.

This dragon inhaled deeply, and unexpectedly began to absorb the horrific spiritual energy pouring out from the depths of the Earth Veins.

“What…”

“It’s the Sword Saint coming to save us…”

“How can we ever forget the grace of the Sword Saint saving our lives!”

Chu Lingxiao and Li Chenyu were amazed and delighted to witness this.

The Sword Saint was incredible; he had actually blocked the erupting spiritual energy from the Earth Veins.

“I’ll hold it off; you all get out of here!”

Having seen so many grand scenes in his past life, Xiao Yang quickly calmed down. He couldn’t believe he was inadvertently becoming a hero.

The members of the Qingyang Sword Sect swiftly activated their sword lights and soared into the sky to escape in panic.

This Sword Saint had severely humiliated their leader, but now he saved their lives, leaving their feelings very complicated.

At this point, the survivors in the Earth Veins were all terrified and fleeing skyward, vying to escape.

“Rumble…”

The Earth Veins crumbled, with the forces of ice and fire colliding. Once this power fully erupted, it would surely spell disaster.

In his previous life, the Demon Sect had ignited the Earth Veins, causing unimaginable destruction. The surrounding area was turned into lifeless wasteland.

The means of the Demon Sect were merciless indeed.

“Qin Fei, oh Qin Fei, you’ve finally been unable to hold back.”

Xiao Yang sneered.

After seven or eight days of recovery, Qin Fei’s injuries had nearly healed.

The Demon Sect had finally decided to detonate this place of ice and fire!

However, Qin Fei and his crew never expected that due to the Taiyin Dragon Pearl, their plans would fail.

And the Taiyin Dragon Pearl had originally belonged to their Demon Sect!

…

At this moment, Qin Fei had already distanced himself.

He stood on his flying sword high above the sky, looking down at the mountains before him, where the ground shook and mountains crumbled. He was filled with pride.

Finally, he could wipe out Xiao Yang and those annoying Qingyang Sword Sect people.

With the Qingyang Sword Sect weakened, he, Qin Fei, could take advantage of the opportunity to rise in power. Wouldn’t it be his world from now on?

“Congratulations, young master, your wish will soon come true.”

Ming He stood beside Qin Fei, equally as excited.

“Haha…”

Qin Fei couldn’t contain his laughter.

“Xiao Yang got off easy. Let him die so easily.”

Qin Fei said sharply.

Jiang Ting and Jiang Qitian were merely pawns in his eyes, dying as they deserved.

As for Jiang Ting, well, this little senior sister was quite good to him.

But so what? For the sake of his grand ambitions, he would stop at nothing and sacrifice everything.

“What’s going on?”

Qin Fei quickly sensed something amiss.

Although the mountains ahead were still violently shaking, the terrifying power erupting from the Earth Veins seemed to be weakening.

To think that detonating the Earth Veins was an incredibly serious matter!

In the radius of ten thousand miles surrounding the Earth Veins, everything would be obliterated into powder by the erupting forces, and billions of lives would be devastated.

Even Yuanlong City would be wiped from existence by this force.

The Xiao family and even Altar Holy Son Chu Guiyuan, who weren’t in the Earth Veins, wouldn’t escape either.

However, the horrific scene Qin Fei had anticipated didn’t unfold.

“How can this be possible…”

Qin Fei couldn’t smile anymore; he was dumbfounded.

After all this preparation, and yet he failed?
