Back then, Xiao Yun’s spirit energy had been enough to stop cultivators at the late stage of the Innate realm in place. Now, after he had continuously broken through and had reached the complete stage of the First Layer of the Spirit-Destroying Divine Art, Xiao Yun’s spirit energy was incredibly powerful. As it swept out, the two Qi family’s cultivators’ minds buzzed.
They both felt as if they had been struck with lightning, and their faces were full of shock and fear. They stood on the spot, frozen in the position they had been in as they prepared to attack.
“They all stopped?” Seeing this, the Tie family’s youths who had been injured stared with bulging eyes. This was how the other Tie family’s cultivator had been killed – were these 2 going to meet the same end as well?
Sure enough, Xiao Yun immediately attacked. A black iron sword appeared in Xiao Yun’s hand, which stabbed out like lightning, immediately killing the 2 cultivators from the Qi family. Both of their throats were pierced in an instant, and seeing these sharp attacks from Xiao Yun, the Tie family’s cultivators felt incredibly shocked.
“This boy is quite savage.” At the same time, the Tie family’s people were filled with a fiery pa.s.sion, making them feel incredibly intrigued by the youth.
This Xiao Yun didn’t seem to be a simple Innate realm cultivator!
“Who is this boy? Why haven’t we seen him before?” The Qi family’s cultivators were also incredibly astonished. In just a few moments, they had lost multiple members, which was simply unbelievable. What’s more, this youth only looked 16 or 17 years old!
“Scram!” Xiao Yun calmly said as he looked at the people around him.
“Hmph, no matter who you are, you’ll definitely die today.”
“Not a single person from the Tie family will survive today!”
“Shoot him to death!” someone from the Qi family ordered as he stared at Xiao Yun sinisterly and spoke with a ferocious tone.
“Yes!” Behind him, the Qi family’s archers once again drew their bows, preparing to fire at Xiao Yun.
Swish! Swish!
In just an instant, 20 or so arrows pierced through the air, tearing through the air as they flew towards Xiao Yun.
The Qi family’s people then nocked more arrows onto their bows, continuously shooting at Xiao Yun so as to overwhelm him with a rain of arrows.
The arrows continuously rained down densely, a sight which made those who saw it feel numb. Even someone at the complete stage of the Innate realm wouldn’t be able to defend against such sharp attacks, and would only be able to dodge the arrows from afar. However, Xiao Yun’s expression was still cool and calm.
“Since that’s what you’ve chosen, don’t blame me for being merciless.” Xiao Yun’s eyes became serious as he suddenly moved, rushing forwards towards the arrows. However, he did not have even a trace of fear on his face, making the Tie family and Qi family’s people feel incredibly shocked.
“Is this boy try to die?” Everyone who watched were completely flabbergasted. This Innate realm youth dared to dive into a rain of arrows?
Xiao Yun rushed forwards, darting around within the rain of arrows. With his powerful spirit energy, he could easily see the trajectory of each of the arrows, and agilely dodged each one.
Firecloud Palms!
At the same time, Xiao Yun pushed out with his palms, activating the Violet Flame Martial Spirit within his body. A violet cloud of fire gathered within his hands, then formed a gigantic palm as it rushed forwards towards the arrows.
The scorching flames looked like a cloud, causing the air around it to twist and turn. Wherever it pa.s.sed, the temperature of the air would greatly increase.
Xiao Yun pushed his Firecloud Palms to the extreme, unleashing this shocking attack.
“What blistering heatwaves!”
“Is this a Martial Skill using fire?”
“Could this youth be able to control variant flames?” The people fighting close by looked over in shock.
Cultivators with flames were one in a million! All such people were distinguished geniuses – how could this youth have such an ability?
The most surprised were the Tie family’s cultivators. A youth who they had met by chance was actually so powerful.
“Who would have thought that we’d meet such an amazing person!” Tie Feng exclaimed as the others stared in awe. Some of the youths who had looked down on Xiao Yun before all shook their heads in shame. They had all thought that this youth would take advantage of the Third Miss, but as such a genius, why would he need to do such a thing? Such a person was incredibly rare, and would have countless women willing to be his.
Just as everyone was feeling incredibly shocked, the violet palm of fire exploded like resplendent fireworks.
Bang!
A ma.s.sive explosion rocked the heavens, causing the surroundings to be covered in a fiery glow. A blistering heatwave erupted in all directions, completely destroying all of the arrows in the air. The fire seemed as if it could burn the heavens and the earth, and even the arrows forged from fine steel were instantly melted.
At the same time, a powerful wave of fire rushed forwards, submerging all of the Qi family’s archers. It was as if they had been swept into a sea of flames, and the air they breathed made them feel as if their organs were being cooked.
Under the immense heat, the Qi family’s people hurriedly retreated.
“What terrifying flames! Could a volcano have erupted?” The Qi family’s people stared with wide eyes, wanting to see what that youth looked like. However, the purple fiery light was simply too bright and they were unable to see anything.
“Where did those flames come from?” Even the True Essence realm cultivators fighting nearby felt quite surprised upon seeing the flames.
After the waves of flames pa.s.sed by, they started more fires, giving off an incredible amount of power.
Just as everyone stared in shock, a figure flashed through the violet flames.
“c.r.a.p!” the Qi family’s archers cried out as they were forced to retreat.
Whoosh!
Xiao Yun gripped the sword in his hand as he rushed towards the Qi familys’ cultivators. The sword light flashed like a snake’s flickering tongue, travelling incredibly quickly. Whenever the sword struck out, it would take a life.
Xiao Yun also sent out his spirit energy, causing the archers’ minds to tremble as they lost their consciousness.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In just a few moments, the 20 or so archers who had been attacking Xiao Yun all fell on the ground, dead.
The violet light gradually disappeared as the flames were absorbed back into Xiao Yun’s body. Blood flowed through the valley like a stream, as an irony and gory smell filled the air. Even the Tie family’s people felt as if their hearts were going to leap out from their chests.
In just an instant, 20 or so archers had lost their lives. Who else could accomplish such a feat?
Even if a True Essence realm cultivator attacked, it was likely that one or two people might escape.
Seeing this scene in front of them, everyone present couldn’t quell the terror in their hearts.
“Where did that boy come from?” the Qi family’s cultivators questioned as they all stared in fear.
“Who would have thought that this boy would be so powerful.” The Tie family’s people felt as if they were in a dream. A youth that they had coincidentally met was actually a hidden expert. The Innate realm cultivators feel in awe in his presence.
“He’s actually so powerful?” the Third Miss muttered to herself in her tent as she blinked. Although she knew that this youth was not ordinary, she did not expect that he would be so amazing. With such talent, there would be no youths in the North Mist City who could compare to him.
“Does he have a Fire Martial Spirit?” In the distance, the Tie family’s Second Patriarch also looked over in shock.
“G.o.ddamit, who’s that boy? Why is he so strong?” Qi Zhong’s expression darkened, his voice incredibly sinister and cold. They were so close to killing the Tie family’s people, and yet such a person had appeared.
“This person doesn’t seem to belong to the Tie family!” Qi Ming muttered beside him.
“Hmph, anyone who dares to kill our Qi family’s people are simply seeking death!” A gloomy expression appeared on Qi Zhong’s face as he coldly roared, “Go and slaughter him!”
“Yes!” Qi Ming’s eyes became serious as he swept over like a giant eagle.
Even if the Tie family’s Second Patriarch wanted to stop him, he would be unable to do so. Under the Qi family’s brothers’ onslaught, he had been injured quite a few times.
“Die, brat.” Qi Ming gripped his mace as he charged towards Xiao Yun.
Whoosh!
Qi Ming whirled his mace around, which gave off an icy light as a powerful wave of energy descended towards the youth in front of him.
The might of a True Essence realm cultivator was quite formidable, and the swift and fierce attack gave off a pressure like that of a mountain. Just the pressure alone was able to suppress any Innate realm cultivator. Even Xiao Yun frowned upon seeing such an attack, hurriedly retreating two metres before steadying himself.
“c.r.a.p, a True Essence realm cultivator’s about to attack.” Seeing Qi Ming leap over and attack, the Tie family’s people felt incredibly worried.
“Will he be able to escape?” The Third Miss’ heart beat like crazy, and she felt like it was stuck in her throat.
Qi Ming had leapt forwards like a giant eagle, sweeping through the air with his mace. His aura was incredibly frightening, and even normal True Essence realm cultivators would struggle to defend against such a ferocious attack.
“Kill him!”
“Smash him to bits!” the Qi family’s remaining cultivators cried out as they gnashed their teeth. This youth was simply too powerful, and them feel fearful. They had to quickly kill him so that they could be at ease.
“Early stage of the True Essence realm?” Xiao Yun raised an eyebrow. Feeling the pressure, his heart tightened, but that was all.
“Haha, your power is far from being enough to kill me.” Xiao Yun gave a faint smile as his gaze became serious. A vortex gathered between his eyebrows as a powerful wave of spirit energy coursed out.
Whoosh!
The instant the spirit energy shot out, the air trembled, as if there were invisible ripples pa.s.sing through it.
As the formless shockwave rippled out, Qi Ming’s eyes widened. He felt a great pressure within his soul, as if the sky was falling down on him and binding it. This made him feel incredibly weak and powerless.
However, Qi Ming’s cultivation was at the early stage of the True Essence realm, and was nearly at the middle stage. He desperately guarded the last shred of clarity in his mind, and a savage expression appeared in his eyes as he continued to strike at the youth with his mace.
If he could kill this youth, all of the pressure on his people would be gone.
Xiao Yun did not panic and raised his head as he gave a cold smile.
“Spirit-Destroying Spear, kill him for me!”
Before the youth had finished speaking, a short spear glowing with a dark light started to extend out from the vortex between his eyebrows. It instantly pierced through the air as it shot towards Qi Ming, giving off an aura that made it seem as if it could slaughter celestials and destroy G.o.ds.
Runes flashed on the Spirit-Destroying Spear, giving off a profound and cryptic feeling. The shockwaves seemed to freeze the heavens and the earth, creating a strange atmosphere, as if it had locked down everything around this place.
Feeling the aura from the spear, Qi Ming felt as if his soul was trembling. This spear was simply unstoppable! It was as if a mortal had met a G.o.d; the difference between them was akin to clouds and dirt.
