Chapter 278

The person who spoke first shrank his pupils and immediately left in a dejected manner.

Although he was also at Minor Success in Gang Qi, his companion was not.

"Consider yourselves sensible!"

Withdrawing the released energy, the man in green clothes galloped through the forest like an agile leopard.

"Brother Wang, are we just robbing for money or robbing and killing?" his companion followed closely.

The man called Brother Wang said: "The Ten Elites genius cannot be left alive. Even if he squeezed into the Ten Elites list by luck, keeping him is a scourge. If he grows up in the future, he might find us."

"Understood!" his companion said.

Because they were also Profound Heaven Sect disciples, once they made a move, their aura would be remembered, and it was very likely Xu Yang would discover them in the future.

"Get lost!"

Suddenly, a roar exploded in their ears, shaking the mountain forest as if it were swaying.

"Major Success in Gang Qi!"

The two looked back in surprise, only to see a figure radiating powerful Gang Qi flying from behind. Wherever he passed, wild winds rose, and a powerful pressure spread through the forest like a tide.

This person wore a bamboo hat and mask, and what was most eye-catching was that he was carrying a cage in his hand, in which a white mouse was screaming, as if it were pointing the way.

"Not good, this Major Success Gang Qi expert has also targeted Xu Yang."

For a Major Success Gang Qi expert to kill two Minor Success Gang Qi cultivators, it wouldn't take more than ten moves.

Brother Wang's expression changed drastically, and he immediately turned and left with his companion.

The person in the bamboo hat carrying the cage didn't care about these two, and following the guidance of the white mouse in the cage, he disappeared into the distance like a stream of light.

Xu Yang galloped in the forest for a while, only to feel a terrifying movement coming from behind, as if a giant beast were running through the forest, the air roaring and rumbling.

He looked back and saw a figure with surging Gang Qi stepping on tree branches and flying over, carrying a cage with a white mouse in his hand.

"It's the person who left the mark!"

Xu Yang stood still and didn't continue running.

He ran, not because he was afraid of those people at the auction site, but because he was afraid of Xiao Hua.

The auction had caused quite a stir; as long as Xiao Hua paid attention, he would definitely be able to find out that he had left the sect.

"Clang!"

With a flick of Gang Qi, he grabbed the air, and the blade on his back was grabbed in his hand.

This blade was not the Cold Moon Blade, but the captured blade. After he reached Minor Success in Gang Qi, the Wolf-Tooth Blade could no longer withstand the infusion of silver-white true qi.

"Just a bottle of Ten-Complete Replenishment Pills, yet it attracted a Major Success Gang Qi expert to chase after me. Is it my honor, or is your vision too narrow?"

Xu Yang pointed his long blade obliquely at the ground, and his Gang Qi began to infuse it.

"I didn't come just for the Ten-Complete Replenishment Pills."

The person in the bamboo hat carrying the cage descended from the sky, and a voice Xu Yang was somewhat familiar with came through.

He saw the person in the bamboo hat carrying the cage pull off the hat, revealing a young face.

Ma Jun!

Ma Jun, the hall master of the Dawn Society.

Xu Yang's heart stirred: "Brother Ma, what brings you here?"

Ma Jun put down the cage he was carrying and smiled: "Someone asked me to help deal with you. The things on you are just an unexpected joy. Junior Brother Xu, commit suicide.

Brother will leave you a whole corpse and help you be buried in peace, so you won't be exposed in the wilderness and have your corpse trampled by wild beasts. How about it?"

Xu Yang's heart sank. Xiao Hua had really made a move, but he hadn't made a move himself.

"Did Deacon Xiao ask you to come?" Xu Yang asked.

Ma Jun showed a look of surprise: "Amazing, you actually guessed it. It seems you knew early on that Deacon Xiao wanted to kill you. But I'm not interested in the grievances between you. Now tell me your choice: do you do it yourself, or do I kill you and leave your corpse in the wilderness?"

Xu Yang showed a bitter smile and said: "I'm a timid person and can't bring myself to do it. Brother Ma, you help me."

Ma Jun showed a look of mockery and said: "Want to trick me into getting close and then sneak attack? It's a pity you don't know at all what a Major Success Gang Qi expert means.

If you were at Minor Success in Gang Qi, a sneak attack might still hurt me a bit. With your cultivation of just entering the Gang Qi realm, even if I stood still and let you hit me, you wouldn't be able to hurt me at all."

Xu Yang's posture of holding the blade didn't look like he was about to give up without a fight at all. He couldn't have failed to see this, but he didn't care.

A mere cultivation of just entering the Gang Qi realm could be slapped to death with a backhand.

"Since you don't want to die decently, then I will fulfill your wish."

A ruthless look appeared on Ma Jun's face, surging Gang Qi pushed forward, the ground under his feet cracked and exploded, and his body suddenly turned into a red light and disappeared from where he stood.

"Boom!"

Wild winds surged, powerful pressure spread like a tide, and in an instant, dust rolled.

Ma Jun's figure tore through the dust, shooting out like an arrow from a bow, his palm wrapped in surging Gang Qi, releasing his full cultivation of Major Success in Gang Qi, wanting to kill Xu Yang in one blow.

Before the palm power arrived, the strong wind had already blown Xu Yang's robes to dance and his hair to rise.

Xu Yang felt the pressure, the Gang Qi in his body roared, and the Diamond Body Technique began to circulate crazily.

A touch of silver-white light appeared like stars, quickly spreading over his whole body, making him look like a man cast from silver juice in an instant.

Ma Jun's pupils contracted violently, feeling the sharp and domineering aura on Xu Yang.

At the same time, Xu Yang moved.

The dragon on his spine roared, and as his muscles bulged, a crisp sound came, like fine iron squeezing against each other, making a teeth-aching sound.

His other hand didn't know when it had also gripped the hilt of the blade, and he slashed out with a blade in the air.

"Shoo!"

The air made a sharp whistle of being torn, and a silver blade qi flew out like a crescent moon.

The blade qi was sharp and domineering, emitting a scorching high temperature.

Fierce Sun Blade Qi!

The strongest attack that could only be released when the Fierce Sun Gang Blade reached the third realm.

"Blade Qi?"

Ma Jun's face changed drastically. Under the sharp blade qi, he only felt goosebumps all over his body. While quickly supporting his body-protecting Gang Qi, he hurriedly slapped a palm toward the silver blade qi that was close at hand.

The next moment, the blade qi collided with his palm.

"Bang!"

A deafening collision sound exploded in the forest, sending out visible ripples.

With the place of collision as the center, the ground tore apart, exploding into a terrifying gully.

A string of blood splashed, and it was evaporated by the terrifying high temperature in mid-air. Ma Jun only felt his palm had been hit by a red-hot blade, a wisp of blue smoke rose from the wound, and his body flew backward involuntarily. The body-protecting Gang Qi he had barely managed to support was covered with dense cracks.

"Minor Success Gang Qi cultivation, Major Success level blade technique!"

Ma Jun's heart was horrified. This was not at all the cultivation of just entering the Gang Qi realm that the idiot Xiao Hua had said; it was not an ant that could be pinched to death at will, but a vicious and cunning wolf.

His combat power was directly chasing that of a Major Success Gang Qi expert, yet he had been pretending not to have reached Minor Success in Gang Qi.

"Beast!"

Piercing pain came from his palm, Ma Jun's expression was distorted, and murderous intent surged.

He stopped his backward flight in mid-air, but when he swept his gaze, he found that Xu Yang had disappeared from where he stood.

"Not good!"

A roar came from his ears, and he heard the sharp sound of the air being cut by a sharp blade. At the same time, a scorching white blade qi appeared in the corner of his eye.

"So fast!"

Xu Yang's speed was also so terrifying?

"Bang!"

The blade qi tore through the body-protecting Gang Qi, Ma Jun trembled all over, and a bloodstain appeared on his abdomen, the skin and flesh rolling up, almost allowing one to see his internal organs.

"Ah..."

A shrill roar resounded through the wilderness, emitting bursts of meat fragrance.

Ma Jun's facial features were distorted, and his body was slashed and flew in another direction while still in mid-air.

"Major Success in Gang Qi is really hard to kill."

Xu Yang's expression was solemn.

Ma Jun's Gang Qi was surging, and his body-protecting Gang Qi was almost half a foot thick. After the blade qi broke through the body-protecting Gang Qi, its power had been weakened by more than half, and it could only cut a bloodstain.

But fortunately, two consecutive blades had succeeded, severely injuring Ma Jun, and the next step was to slowly grind him to death.

The soil under his feet exploded, and he chased after him like a thunderbolt, the blade in his hand slashing out again.

"You deserve to die!"

Ma Jun roared. He had already paid enough attention to Xu Yang, but he didn't expect to be sneak-attacked and severely injured. Who could have thought Xu Yang would hide so deeply.
