Chapter 119: Counter-kill (Seeking monthly votes)

Xu Yang didn't rush to leave but found a shop with an old brand name to taste a meal of local delicacies in Qingyang City before walking out of Qingyun City unhurriedly.

It was now the season of the transition between autumn and winter, and although the scorching sun was high, Xu Yang didn't feel stuffy.

After moving away from human traces, he didn't rush to use his light-body technique to hurry, but tried to take out the Wolf Tooth Knife from his back with steel qi.

After experiencing many failures, he had already figured it out successfully.

With just a thought, the steel qi could shake the knife out and grab it in his hand. Taking the knife was very convenient, and it also looked stylish.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, he instinctively sensed something wrong. It wasn't that he had discovered any abnormal place, but a kind of instinctive warning. It should be that after refining qi into steel, his body's functions had a kind of premonition of danger.

"Bang!"

The next moment, a patch of grass on the side exploded, dust and smoke surged, and a figure broke through the dust and smoke, shooting straight at him like a sharp arrow.

The tyrannical aura was like a volcanic eruption, a wild wind suddenly rose, the figure flew rapidly close to the ground, the aura drew a gully on the ground, and mud splashed everywhere.

Before he arrived, he had already struck a palm at Xu Yang through the air.

He saw a flash of red light on his hand, and the steel qi followed and burst forth.

Xu Yang didn't have time to think too much, and he couldn't dodge even if he wanted to. The Diamond Steel Art roared into operation, and the pink steel qi sprayed out from the pores all over his body, weaving into a red light in front of him.

The next moment, the steel qi arrived with a bang, heavily blasting onto his protective steel qi.

Crack!

It sounded like porcelain breaking. The sneak-attack steel qi blasted onto his protective steel qi, instantly shattering upon impact, turning into a torrent and shooting in all directions.

Xu Yang's whole body trembled, and his protective steel qi was quickly covered with a large number of cracks, feeling as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer.

Fortunately, although it was hasty, his steel qi quality was extraordinary. Under the hard resistance, although the protective steel qi appeared cracked, it finally blocked it, and only his blood and qi surged, but he was not injured.

"Ambushed, and by a Marrow Cleansing expert!" Xu Yang's heart sank.

Marrow Cleansing experts had their minds enter their bodies, and steel qi merged into their limbs and bones, reaching a subtle realm of control over themselves. Not to mention holding their breath, even stopping their heartbeat for a short time was not a difficult thing.

So even though this person was not far from him, his five senses didn't capture the other party's heartbeat or breathing sound until the other party made a move, and his instinct gave him a warning.

Of course, the other party's disguise method was also very clever. He should have been waiting for him here for a long time, certain that he would pass by this way, and had been waiting for him here all along.

"Steel qi?" Li Rui'an exclaimed, his expression changing greatly.

He dared to ambush Xu Yang here because Xu Yang hadn't refined qi into steel, and he was confident he could kill Xu Yang, which was why he had the courage.

But what happened before his eyes was that Xu Yang had already refined qi into steel, and his cultivation seemed very terrifying.

He launched a sneak attack with a full-force blow, and Xu Yang responded in a panic, but his attack only shattered Xu Yang's steel qi and didn't hurt Xu Yang's body in the slightest.

For a moment, he was shocked and regretful in his heart, but he was already riding a tiger and couldn't get off, so he had to continue to burst out steel qi to hack at Xu Yang.

Seeing the palm covered in steel qi about to hack at Xu Yang's head, Xu Yang had already reacted. He ignored the protective steel qi full of cracks on his body, and eleven crisp sounds instantly came from his body.

Surging Waves Fist, eleven layers of force stacked.

Xu Yang's whole body's tendons and bones moved together, his large tendons vibrated like bowstrings, and with a side swing of his arm, his fist thrust out diagonally like a great spear, striking the palm that was close at hand.

"Bang!"

"Crack!"

The two sounds sounded almost at the same time; one was the sound of steel qi colliding, and the other was the sound of steel qi shattering.

A visible red ripple radiated from the center of the fist and palm, carrying the power to tear everything apart, and the protective steel qi outside the two figures shattered upon impact.

"It's that bastard Li Rui'an!"

Xu Yang's body shook again. At this moment, he had already seen clearly who the person ambushing him was. It was Li Rui'an, who had taken the initiative to come and seek peace earlier. Although he hadn't planned to let Li Rui'an go, he still couldn't help but be furious at this moment.

If it weren't for the fact that he had refined qi into steel and his strength had undergone a qualitative improvement, he feared he would have died here this time.

Eleven layers of force poured out crazily, and the steel qi was like a volcanic eruption. He ignored the completely broken protective steel qi.

Without protective steel qi, he still had a body with the characteristic of being indestructible, which could withstand the impact of steel qi.

"Bang, bang..."

The ripples turned into steel qi and blasted onto his body, making a metallic tremor, and then all dissipated, shattering the ground.

"Hmph!"

Li Rui'an showed a painful expression, a muffled groan came from his mouth, and he only felt a fierce force crushing over, almost shattering his hand bones, and his tendons and bones made a roar that couldn't bear the load.

The shattered steel qi blasted his chest, and he was struck like a hammer, taking large steps backward.

"How is this possible..." he couldn't help but scream.

He felt as if he were fighting against a human-shaped beast, and every step he took left a deep pit in the ground.

He was the one sneak-attacking, but he was the one being suppressed.

Xu Yang's eyes burst with essence, and he didn't forgive him. With a punch, he forced Li Rui'an back. He tapped his toes on the ground, as if stepping on a spring, and his figure suddenly disappeared from where he stood.

"Boom!"

A shock wave swept out, kicking up huge dust and smoke.

Suddenly, ten crisp sounds followed one after another in Xu Yang's body.

Ten layers of force stacked!

The astonishing aura shook away the dust and smoke that had been kicked up, revealing Li Rui'an's face full of horror.

"Brother Xu, it's a misunderstanding!" Li Rui'an roared.

He felt that if this continued, the person who would die here today would definitely be him.

If a sneak attack couldn't kill Xu Yang, how could he be an opponent in a head-on confrontation?

"It's a misunderstanding when you can't beat me? Misunderstand your mother."

While speaking, Xu Yang had already caught up with Li Rui'an, the wind whistled like a tiger, and the fist covered in steel qi had already blasted through the air.

"Boom!"

A red light flashed, and the scorching steel qi burst forth, like a torrent crossing the sky.

Li Rui'an no longer cared about speaking, and could only raise his palm, which was about to lose consciousness, and blast out a streak of steel qi.

This time, it was his turn to receive Xu Yang's attack.

The hastily blasted steel qi instantly made contact with Xu Yang's pink steel qi and collided together.

With a crack, his steel qi was directly shattered and blasted through like a hot knife through butter, and Xu Yang's steel qi continued to blast onto his body with undiminished momentum.

"Bang!"

A loud noise came. Fortunately, he still had protective steel qi, which withstood Xu Yang's steel qi, but this protective steel qi had also reached its limit, leaving only a thin layer that was already tottering.

Before Li Rui'an could breathe a sigh of relief, Xu Yang's fist, carrying suffocating power, had already blasted over, and that thin protective steel qi was easily shattered.

"Not good!" Li Rui'an's expression changed greatly.

Before the fist hit his body, he already had the feeling that his body was about to crack, and a death crisis rose in his heart.

In his haste, he crossed his arms in front of his chest and supported another layer of steel qi to protect his arms.

"Bang!"

"Crack!"

This time, the crisp sound was no longer the sound of steel qi breaking, but the sound of bones shattering.

Under Xu Yang's iron fist, Li Rui'an only felt that his fist edge was as sharp as a knife tip. While the intense pain came, the bones in the place he was hit broke upon impact, and the flesh and skin were blasted into pulp and splattered.

"Ah..."

The miserable scream resounded through the mountains and forests. Li Rui'an was in so much pain that his facial features were distorted, his eyes went black, and the intense pain that penetrated his bone marrow made his whole body tremble.

A fear of death swept through his mind like a tide, making it difficult for him to breathe as if he were drowning.

He wanted to make a sound, wanted to negotiate with Xu Yang, and would agree to any conditions.

But he didn't have time to speak before Xu Yang's second punch, like a surging tide, had already blasted over.

He was like a flat boat in the wind and waves, as if he were about to be overturned by the wind and waves at any time. He raised his intact hand to block, but Xu Yang's fist edge pressed down and avoided his hand, heavily blasting onto his chest.

"Bang!"

The protective steel qi exploded, and Li Rui'an was struck like a thunderbolt. The backlash of the steel qi being violently shattered made his skin covered with dense cracks, and blood flowed instantly.

But this wasn't the end.

Shattering the protective steel qi was only the first step; the real killing move was still behind.

"Master Xu, spare me!"

Li Rui'an had a premonition that he was going to die and pleaded in a low voice.

"Too late!"

Xu Yang's voice, without emotional fluctuations, rang in Li Rui'an's ears, and his fist had already hit his flesh and skin.

"Crack!"

"Pfft!"

Thick blood sprayed from Li Rui'an's mouth, and his sturdy and strong chest seemed to have lost its bones in an instant and collapsed.

He was struck like a hammer, his body was thrown into the air instantly, and he continued to spray blood in mid-air, his expression completely occupied by fear.

His chest bones were broken, his internal organs were covered with cracks, and even if he didn't die, he would be crippled.

Xu Yang took a big step, like a beast out of a cage, and instantly caught up. In mid-air, he grabbed Li Rui'an's ankle and then exerted force to slam him down.

"Boom!"

The air made a muffled roar, the earth shook, and terrifying cracks spread in all directions.

Under the powerful force, Xu Yang only heard a series of crisp sounds of bones shattering. Li Rui'an's body was already embedded in the ground, bleeding from seven orifices, and his whole person went soft like a puddle of mud, with no one knowing how many places had been pierced by white bones.
