Chapter 359: 217: Killing Shi Yunjing

@@novelbin@@

“Interesting!”

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly.

To others, Galaxy 7-dan seemed terrifying, but in his eyes, it was just so-so.

He had thought that if his opponent dared to make a move, there must be a stronger force behind it. After all the fuss, was this it?

He suddenly lost interest. With a fierce lift of his hand, a sword qi immediately shot out swiftly, piercing a spot like a meteor, severing the saber qi released by Mo Baiye in the blink of an eye.

Thump thump thump thump!

Mo Baiye’s face flushed, and he couldn’t help but step back. Zhang Xuan wasted no words and took large strides forward, thrusting out his sword again.

Pfft!

The sword qi pierced through his arm again, chopping off the arm that had just healed.

“How is this possible?”

Mo Baiye sweated profusely.

Previously, this fellow had been able to block Brother Du and several others because everyone had just been subjected to rule sanctions and could not even exert one-fifth of their strength.

Now that his cultivation had fully recovered and he had even borrowed the strength of Du Xinyu, he was able to fight a typical Galaxy 7-dan Middle Stage with ease. Without using Mo Blade, he easily blocked and once again severed his arm…

How had he done it?

“Since you wished to challenge me, I must naturally grant your wish!”

With a faint smile, Zhang Xuan thrust out another sword. The sword qi broke through the blockade of the Mo Blade Blade Energy again and landed on Mo Baiye’s chest, leaving behind a deep ravine.

Without his arm and severely injured, Mo Baiye was no longer a match and turned to flee, shouting simultaneously, “Prince Shen Ling, I will give you the Bronze Artifact now, please spare my life!”

“The Bronze Artifact is mine whether you live or die!”

Prince Shen Ling spoke indifferently.

According to the prior agreement, even if he lost, the Bronze Artifact was to be given to him, so whether he lived or died was irrelevant.

“You… Master Shi, fellow colleagues, if I die, there’ll be no one to repay your money…”

Seeing that he wasn’t being rescued, Mo Baiye’s face turned livid as he ran and shouted.

“Right, we can’t let him be killed!”

“If he really dies, whom will we ask for our money?”

Upon hearing this, the people from Heavenly Destiny Hall indeed became chaotic. Soon after, several Galaxy 6-dan Peak fighters rushed over and stood in front of Mo Baiye.

“Can it work like this?” Zhang Xuan was speechless.

He hadn’t expected that the trap he had deliberately designed for the enemy to fall into would now become this guy’s greatest reliance.

“Zhang Xuan, since you have won, I think it’s better to stop here. Mo Baiye and we have some personal grudges, and he can’t die here for now…”

Shi Yunjing also stood in front.

“Sorry, he also has personal grievances with me. He has framed me numerous times and even captured my disciple. If I do not kill him, I cannot explain myself!”

Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan continued forward.

Not killing this guy now when it was the best opportunity was unthinkable, he absolutely couldn’t let him go.

“I now order you to stop in my capacity as the master of Heavenly Destiny Hall!”

Shi Yunjing’s face darkened.

His memories from the Wanxiang Sect had been erased; he did not realize how formidable this person truly was.

“Move!”

Unwilling to waste words with him, Zhang Xuan continued forward, striking another sword at the fleeing Mo Baiye.

“Outrageous!”

Seeing that he truly ignored him, Shi Yunjing felt like he might explode from anger.

As the Heavenly Destiny Hall master of Zouyi City, everyone respected his noble status. Even the royalty’s Qingtian Emperor would not dare to easily refute him. Yet, a youngster who had just advanced to the Galaxy Realm dared to show such disrespect—it was simply suicidal.

As he scolded, Shi Yunjing’s hands spread wide and then clapped together, aiming a strike at Zhang Xuan.

While performing his sword art without stopping, Zhang Xuan lifted his left hand and met the attack with his palm.

Upon contact between the palms, Shi Yunjing’s face turned pale and he couldn’t control his posture any longer. He staggered back seven or eight steps, his chest heaving as he breathed heavily.

“How, how is this possible?”

His eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief.

Having achieved great success in Zhilan Valley on this visit, not only had he broken through to Galaxy 7-dan, his control over the “fragments of the heavens” had also significantly improved. He thought he would easily dominate a battle against a youngster, but to his surprise, he faced such formidable resistance!

“Everyone, attack together and save Elder Bai Ye…”

His face felt as though someone had slapped him, the burning pain unbearable. Shi Yunjing couldn’t hold back anymore and shouted loudly.

Now that he had openly spoken, if Elder Bai Ye was still killed, it would be an immense disgrace!

Indeed, following his shout, several Vice Hall Masters guarding Elder Bai Ye rushed over, each drawing their weapons ready to defend.

Knowing that swift and decisive action was needed, Zhang Xuan didn’t bother to hide his strength any longer, and his Cold Nether Sword flicked forward continuously.

“Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!”

The three Vice Hall Masters from Galaxy 6-dan Peak in front of him had their chests pierced, their bodies flying backward in unison. In the next moment, Zhang Xuan’s sword swiped again, and Elder Bai Ye, who was trying to flee, now had his thigh severed.

“You…”

Elder Bai Ye’s eyes were filled with fear, experiencing the scent of death for the first time.

With one man and one sword, not only was he defeated, but even Du Xinyu’s strength couldn’t resist… If only he had known how powerful he was, why provoke him?

Wasn’t this seeking his own death?

“I told you to stop; didn’t you hear me…”

At that moment, Shi Yunjing charged over again, but before he could finish speaking, he felt an icy sensation at his throat—Zhang Xuan’s sword was already resting on his neck.

“You, you…”

His pupils suddenly contracted, and Shi Yunjing’s body shook uncontrollably.

Though he had reached the early stage of Galaxy 7-dan and had made a breakthrough in his cultivation, he was shocked to discover that he didn’t know when the sword had appeared or how it had reached his throat; he knew nothing at all.

“If you don’t want to die, pay with money for your life; otherwise, even if you are a Hall Master, if you die here, probably nobody would say anything…”

Zhang Xuan said indifferently.

No point in pretending now. Since you are shameless, I won’t bother to show you respect.

In the Heaven Mandate Domain, everyone relied on their own abilities. Getting killed by someone was just unfortunate, and even the Heavenly Destiny Hall could not seek revenge; this was a common understanding.

“I, I…”

Shi Yunjing clenched his fist.

“What, unwilling? This is a personal grudge between me and Elder Bai Ye. Whoever wants to interfere will pay the price. Moreover, I warned you not to act, so don’t blame me for being impolite… will you pay, or not?”

Sword qi pulsated continuously on Zhang Xuan’s sword, ready to burst forth at any moment.

Looking around, seeing everyone’s curious faces waiting to see his decision, Shi Yunjing bit his teeth and roared, “I am the Heavenly Destiny Hall Master of Zouyi City; I don’t believe you dare to act against me… I won’t pay you, and what can you do about that? Also, like I said earlier, I guarantee Elder Bai Ye; if you dare to kill him, it’s tantamount to opposing the Zhou Yi Dynasty’s Heavenly Destiny Hall…”

“Puchi!”

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a pain in his throat, and then his head saw his own buttocks.

“You had your chance, and you wasted it!”

Severing his head, Zhang Xuan reached out and took the storage ring from his finger.
