Chapter 203

"Don't kill me..."

The light in his eyes dissipated, and he begged for mercy with his last breath.

"Is this your last words?"

Xu Yang was expressionless, let go of the ankle he was holding, and stepped out toward his face.

"Crack!"

White brain matter mixed with bone fragments and blood splattered all over the ground, and Li Ruian's head immediately became like this—dented.

"Refreshing!"

He couldn't help but let out a low drink.

A great battle, not only killed the person he wanted to kill before, but also vented the desire for battle brought by the surge of power after his cultivation broke through.

He felt as if a cool breeze had blown in the sultry weather, and his whole body felt indescribably comfortable and transparent.

Bending down, searching the corpse, besides a few banknotes, there were twenty contribution points.

The money was not much, about two hundred taels, which could only make up for the money he spent buying the saber. Twenty contribution points had some effect, but not much.

He searched out Li Ruian's identity waist token, and Gang Qi surged out, directly shaking it into powder. Then he grabbed the corpse and rushed into the mountains.

After running wildly for a while, he didn't find a cave to throw the corpse, so he simply didn't bother to look anymore, put down the corpse, and brought a large stone to smash down heavily.

"Bang!"

The ground shook, the stone smashed Li Ruian's corpse into pulp and pressed it into the ground. He moved the stone away to let the bloody smell spread, hoping to attract strange beasts.

Destroying the corpse and erasing the traces, he could only do this much.

Checking that he was not stained with blood, he continued to return to the Profound Heaven Sect.

A quarter of an hour later, he appeared in the courtyard as if nothing had happened.

"Eh, Junior Brother, you went to buy a saber. Do you plan to learn saber techniques in the future?" Sun Tao smiled.

Xu Yang nodded and said: "Senior Brother Sun seems to be in a good mood. Did your cultivation break through?"

Compared to the sighing of yesterday, Sun Tao was in a very good mood today.

Sun Tao shook his head: "No, but there is a clue, it should be soon."

Xu Yang smiled and cupped his hands: "Congratulations, Senior Brother Sun."

The two chatted for a few words, Xu Yang unlocked the door and entered the room, and took off the Wolf Tooth Saber on his body.

He didn't know any saber techniques now, and this saber was useless to carry on his body. This saber was mainly bought for practice.

After putting the saber away, he sat down and continued to consolidate his cultivation.

Just having broken through, both Gang Qi and the physical body had a lot of room for improvement. At the very least, it would take two or three days of consolidation for everything to enter a normal state.

He was single-minded, focused on cultivation, came out to eat when hungry, and then returned to the room to continue consolidating his cultivation.

That night, Li Ruian did not return to the Profound Heaven Sect, and everyone in the same courtyard thought he had spent the night in the gentle village of Qingyang City, cursing him for being disloyal.

The next day he still didn't return. One of his good friends was worried about missing the mission, so he hurried to Qingyang City to look for him, but found nothing.

On the way back, he noticed traces of a battle and immediately returned to the sect to find a deacon to report.

The deacon scolded him and asked if he had any evidence of Li Ruian's accident. He couldn't produce any, so the matter had to be left unsettled.

On the third day, basically all the new disciples of this session knew the news of Li Ruian's disappearance.

"What are you chatting about? Are you not doing missions?"

After consolidating for two days and two nights and sleeping again, Xu Yang pushed the door out, refreshed, intending to take a mission to earn contribution points.

Pushing the door out, he saw Sun Tao, Jiang Ping, and others were all there, whispering.

"Junior Brother Xu, good news. I heard that Li Ruian has disappeared. I don't know if he betrayed the sect or was killed." Sun Tao smiled.

There is nothing more gratifying than an enemy's misfortune.

That day, everyone saw Li Ruian trying to rob Xu Yang of his elixirs. For Xu Yang, this was indeed something worth being happy about.

Xu Yang said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother, how can you gloat like this? Li Ruian and I are fellow disciples after all, and we are fellow brothers. If something happens to him, it is the sect's misfortune. You shouldn't take pleasure in tragedy."

Sun Tao:???

Jiang Ping and others showed strange expressions. This must have been practiced stupidly. There are thousands of outer sect disciples; who would really treat others as fellow brothers, let alone someone like Li Ruian.

And Li Ruian had bullied Xu Yang, yet he was speaking for Li Ruian.

Sun Tao reminded: "Junior Brother Xu, Li Ruian bullied you. The person who wanted to take your elixirs last month was Li Ruian, the one who was scared away by the Poxiao Society later."

He thought Xu Yang didn't know who Li Ruian was.

Xu Yang shook his head: "We have already reconciled. Later, Li Ruian found me and said that day was just a misunderstanding, and we have become good friends."

Sun Tao was stunned. Reconciled?

That's right, the news of Xu Yang comprehending the Wind-Thunder Force spread, and Li Ruian probably knew that he couldn't afford to provoke a genius who could almost rival the Ten Elites.

Xu Yang added: "Does Senior Brother know how Li Ruian disappeared? He is an expert who has achieved Qi Refining into Gang Qi. Has the sect investigated?"

Sun Tao shook his head and told him what he knew.

Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. It was just as he thought; the Profound Heaven Sect didn't care about the life or death of these outer sect cattle and horses at all. If they left the sect without reason and died outside, they wouldn't even bother to ask.

If there were no people available, at the worst, they would increase the quota for the next martial arts exam, and then a group of cattle and horses would rush to come.

Xu Yang's serious expression relaxed: "The sect is right. Perhaps Li Ruian was delayed by something and didn't return. How could an expert who has achieved Qi Refining into Gang Qi easily have an accident?"

Sun Tao and the others had strange expressions again. Is Xu Yang so naive? ===== CHAPTER 204 =====
