Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

”It’s really the Earth Fire Medicine King Order! Senior Brother Lin, why must you do this? Master Yan went through so much trouble to get this for you when you reached the rank of Seventh-Level Medicine Sect. It’s not worth it for a mere four stalks of Eighth-Level Upper Grade Spirit Medicine.”

Junior Sister Zhou’s face was filled with reluctance.

She and Lin Tianhao held mutual affection for one another, but both had their own pursuits and had never made their feelings explicit. In the eyes of others, however, they were already considered a couple.

Seeing Lin Tianhao now take out something as important as the Earth Fire Medicine King Order, Junior Sister Zhou was visibly distressed.

”Junior Sister, my master bestowed a great kindness upon me. If I cannot avenge him, how can I live with myself? And if I succeed in avenging him, this Token will remain mine. What loss is there?”

said Lin Tianhao.

His words revealed his unshakeable conviction to kill Yang Xiao.

”Is this thing really going to work?”

Yang Xiao asked for confirmation one more time.

”It will!”

Lin Tianhao replied with great patience.

Yang Xiao ignored him, however, turning to look at Elder Yun.

’This old man, despite being a bit selfish, cares deeply about the Sect’s honor. He probably wouldn’t lie.’

”It is indeed useful. As long as Nephew Lin loses, this Earth Fire Medicine King Order will grant you one entry into the Earth Flame Cave. That is our Sect’s rule, and I speak nothing but the truth.”

With Elder Yun’s guarantee,

Yang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

He chuckled. ”Since you all value this Token so highly, it must be a fine treasure. It might not be worth as much as my four stalks of Eighth-Level Upper Grade Spirit Medicine, but... seeing how sincere you are, I suppose I can reluctantly agree.”

The way he spoke made the Medicine King Valley disciples below the stage want to beat him up.

Lin Tianhao, however, was overjoyed.

Although he had said he wouldn’t force Yang Xiao to agree, the truth was, forcing the issue would have been pointless.

As one of the Upper Three Sects, the Medicine King Valley had its reputation to uphold.

Therefore, if Yang Xiao had truly refused, it would have been difficult for Lin Tianhao to move against him openly within the Medicine King Valley.

He could only act in secret.

Or wait for him to leave the Medicine King Valley.

But how could he delay his master’s vengeance?

If he could take revenge now, he had to take it now.

Was he supposed to let his hatred fester?

Now, Yang Xiao had done as he wished.

He was naturally delighted.

He cupped his fist toward Yang Xiao. ”Junior Brother Yang of the Purple Sun Sect, if you would.”

Seeing this, Yang Xiao couldn’t help but think of Qiu Chengjun and Zhang Cheng. They had acted the same way before their duels.

Polite.

Even though, deep down, they all wanted to kill him.

But in the end, they were the ones he killed.

The man before him would be no exception.

Seeing him smile, Lin Tianhao frowned slightly and said, ”My strength may not be at the very top among the True Disciples, but I am in the top ranks. Junior Brother Yang, you must not underestimate me, because I will be giving it my all.”

”Don’t worry, I won’t underestimate you.”

Yang Xiao waved his hand dismissively.

Yet his face showed not the slightest hint of nervousness.

This made Lin Tianhao feel he was being looked down upon.

Down below, the female True Disciple surnamed Zhou felt the same.

She found Yang Xiao’s handsome face utterly detestable.

”If that’s the case, then let’s leave it to Celestial Destiny! Junior Brother Yang, receive my attack—Evil Fire Sword!”

Lin Tianhao let out a low roar.

He rubbed his hands together, and a fiery red stream of Sword Qi slashed toward Yang Xiao.

It was one of the Medicine King Valley’s Saint Grade Martial Arts.

The Evil Fire Sword.

Compared to the Purple Sun Sect, the Medicine King Valley clearly had many more Saint Grade Martial Arts.

Every generation, they had a Martial Saint presiding over them.

Naturally, they had numerous legacies.

As a result, most True Disciples had learned a Saint Grade Martial Art.

A top-ranking True Disciple like Lin Tianhao had obviously learned even more.

However, the power of the Evil Fire Sword wasn’t actually considered that strong.

But it was very troublesome.

Because the Evil Fire Sword required Earth Fire Evil Qi to be successfully cultivated.

Once it invaded the body, the Evil Qi would injure a person’s flesh and blood.

Although its power wasn’t immense, it was exceptionally vicious.

For Lin Tianhao to use such a move right from the start, it was clear he was intent on killing Yang Xiao.

However, compared to the other two, he had already revealed his intentions.

Yang Xiao actually felt that made him more straightforward.

’Huh? He dodged it?’

The Evil Fire Sword was very fast and not very large, making it almost impossible to dodge. But for Yang Xiao, who was at the Observing Micro High Level, it was effortless.

But Lin Tianhao was not discouraged.

With a wave of his palms, the launched Evil Fire Sword turned back around.

It showed hints of a Sword Control Skill.

However, what he was controlling was the Evil Fire Sword Qi from within his body, not a real sword.

Of course, its power was not to be underestimated.

If one were hit by this Sword Qi, even a Martial Grandmaster Level expert like Lin Tianhao would most likely die.

Even a glancing blow would be enough to flay someone’s skin.

This showed just how vicious the Evil Fire Sword’s Sword Qi was.

Yang Xiao dodged it again.

To him, an attack like this was simply too slow.

At the Observing Micro High Level,

combined with his formidable physique,

he could remain undefeated even without using any of his trump cards.

However, he and Lin Tianhao were mortal enemies.

This wasn’t a battle to determine a winner.

It was one to decide life and death.

Therefore, merely dodging was useless.

He had to attack.

’But what technique should I use?’

This made Yang Xiao hesitate slightly.

His greatest trump cards were the Nine Revolutions Concentration Spirit Technique, followed by the Qilin True Body.

In terms of power, the Nine Revolutions Concentration Spirit Technique was by far the most terrifying. With Yang Xiao’s current Spiritual Power at the Observing Micro High Level, if he were to truly unleash it, he had the power to directly crush his opponent’s Heart Spirit.

But the side effects were too severe.

Yang Xiao was definitely not going to use it.

Next was the Qilin True Body.

The Qilin True Body, equivalent to a Peak of Tier Four Beast, could instantly kill Lin Tianhao the moment it appeared.

However, it would cause too much of a commotion.

In that case, among his remaining techniques, there was only one left that could harm Lin Tianhao.

Fusing the Qilin True Body into his own body.

In other words, the Qilin Transformation.

The Qilin Transformation was an ability Yang Xiao gained only after re-tempering his Qilin True Body with the power of his bloodline. He had used it before against Ye Dongcheng.

It could increase his Physical Strength tenfold.

It was quite extraordinary.

But in reality, this only unleashed a tiny fraction of the Qilin True Body’s power.

Considering Yang Xiao’s current Spiritual Power, the might of the Qilin Transformation would be even greater now.

’I’ll use the Qilin Transformation. Perfect. I’ll let them think my Physical Strength is just that powerful.’

With a thought, Yang Xiao steadied his stance.

Watching the Evil Fire Sword fly toward him again, he no longer dodged.

Instead, he faced the attack head-on.

He threw a punch.

His action immediately caught the attention of the people below the stage.

”That kid finally stopped dodging. But he’s too stupid, actually trying to block the Evil Fire Sword with his bare hands. Doesn’t he know that’s certain death?”

”I think it’s normal. He’s from the Purple Sun Sect. How many of them could possibly know the power of the Evil Fire Sword? That’s a Saint Grade Martial Art we’re talking about.”

”I heard the Purple Sun Sect only has three Saint Grade Martial Arts. It’s not surprising his knowledge is so limited.”

Seeing Yang Xiao meet the Evil Fire Sword directly with his fist,

the crowd below began to jeer.

Even Lin Tianhao’s face was filled with joy.

If Yang Xiao had kept dodging, he really would have had no way to injure him.

But, when the fist truly collided with the Evil Fire Sword,

everyone was dumbfounded.

Yang Xiao’s outstretched fist suddenly swelled. It grew from a normal size to resemble a great earthen bowl.

It emanated a purplish-red glow.

And, with just one punch, it shattered the Evil Fire Sword.

Then, before anyone could react, Yang Xiao moved.

He went on the attack.

With one punch, he struck the dazed and disbelieving Lin Tianhao.

Instantly killing him.

Blasting him to smithereens.

The tables turned just that quickly.

A top-ten True Disciple of the esteemed Medicine King Valley, while facing Yang Xiao, the Junior Sect Leader of the Purple Sun Sect, was met with a counterattack.

With just one punch, not only was his Evil Fire Sword destroyed,

but he himself was killed outright.

This scene was deeply engraved in everyone’s mind.

Unforgettable.
