Chapter 281

"So strong!"

The two black-clothed men with Minor Success Gang Qi cultivation retreated in time, avoiding the terrifying blade qi. Seeing the miserable state of their companions, they couldn't help but be horrified.

This blade qi, he feared even a Major Success Gang Qi expert could be hurt by it; they had actually encountered such an expert to black eat black.

At the same time, Xu Yang stepped on the "Stepping Gang Chasing Wind," and his body suddenly disappeared from where he stood.

"Boom!"

His body crashed through the air, air waves surged on the ground, and the powerful pressure made the two black-clothed men with Minor Success Gang Qi cultivation feel suffocated, their chests as if pressed by a giant rock.

"Your Excellency, don't make a move; we are willing to hand over the wealth on us," one screamed.

They joined forces to rob and kill; generally, as long as the other party handed over the things on them, they wouldn't kill. He thought the person in front of him was the same.

Every time he walked this road, he had to be worried about being robbed and killed. Xu Yang had long hated these people who specialized in robbing and killing.

Like a white ribbon passing by, murderous intent boiled, and with a flash of blade light, the body-protecting Gang Qi of the person speaking was cut open.

He didn't even hear a scream; a large head flew into the sky, and after falling to the ground, he died with his eyes wide open.

"Spare my life!"

Seeing Xu Yang being so unscrupulous, the last black-clothed man with Minor Success Gang Qi cultivation was scared out of his wits, his whole body trembling.

"Bang!"

He turned to escape, but a blade qi blasted over, shattering his body-protecting Gang Qi and slashing out from his chest.

His running body stumbled forward for two steps, then fell to the ground and lost his breath on the spot.

"Spare my life, Master!"

The three people who had barely stood up from the ground saw this scene, their souls scared out of their bodies, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

Too ruthless!

Two Minor Success Gang Qi experts, slashed to death one by one, the move was sharp and decisive.

Xu Yang's eyes were sharp, without any softness. Perhaps among the people who wanted to kill him to seize the Ten-Complete Replenishment Pills earlier, there were these few.

The blade Gang surged and swept out, and three heads flew up immediately.

"You didn't die unjustly."

After a search, the money on the five people added up to less than seven hundred taels, but they found five Ten-Complete Replenishment Pills; there must have been some unlucky ghosts who had been robbed by them.

On the two people with Minor Success Gang Qi cultivation, they also found Profound Heaven Sect outer sect disciple waist tokens and twenty-something contribution points; they were actually also outer sect disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Continuing forward, Xu Yang saw some traces of fighting. Further ahead, two corpses lay on the side of the road, their chests and abdomens shattered by giant force.

"The outer sect disciples who died on this road, I fear, are in the thousands."

Not everyone is willing to hand over the pills they bought by exhausting their fortunes. If they can't kill the enemy, they are dead themselves.

Continuing forward for several kilometers, he encountered three more corpses along the way, two of which were black-clothed men wearing face towels; clearly, someone had also counter-killed these people.

"Boom!"

A muffled sound of Gang Qi colliding came from ahead. Xu Yang approached, only to see Gu Haoming, Cao Rong, and a Minor Success Gang Qi expert fighting with three black-clothed men.

The three black-clothed men were all Minor Success Gang Qi experts.

"Cao Rong has actually reached Minor Success in Gang Qi?"

Among the three, only Gu Haoming had not reached Minor Success in Gang Qi. At this moment, he was being chased and killed by a Minor Success Gang Qi expert, in a precarious situation.

"I am the nephew of inner sect disciple Cao Jin. Retreat quickly! If anything happens to us, you won't be able to bear the consequences," Cao Rong roared.

He should have just reached Minor Success in Gang Qi; although he tried his best to block his opponent, he was also being beaten.

"I am Yang Ji, a member of the Dawn Society. Retreat quickly, and I can let bygones be bygones. We have already remembered your aura, and we can find you in the future," another person with Minor Success Gang Qi cultivation shouted.

His cultivation was not bad, and he was beating his opponent very easily.

"Gu Haoming, Cao Rong..." Xu Yang's eyes flashed with cold light.

Gu Haoming had once threatened him, and when he was at the Hundred Medicine Hall, he also showed murderous intent toward him; he was also one of the people on his must-kill list.

Cao Rong had no intersection with him, but the Cao family had issued a wanted notice for him, and Cao Rong had betrayed so many martial artists in Qingyuan County; he was not a good thing either. If there was a chance to kill him, he wouldn't be soft-hearted.

Of course, the main thing was that several people had won a bottle of Ten-Complete Replenishment Pills.

As for the background that inner sect disciple Cao Jin was his uncle, this background was useless. Cao Jin was not here. If everyone was slaughtered, who would know who killed them?

If this background were useful, these three black-clothed men would have been scared away long ago.

"Who dares to hurt my nephew!"

Xu Yang was just about to sneak over and slaughter both groups when he heard a loud shout from afar.

Immediately after, a figure with a terrifying aura flew from afar, killing a black-clothed man with one move from over a dozen feet away.

"Uncle!" Cao Rong was overjoyed and shouted loudly.

The remaining two black-clothed men were scared out of their wits and turned to run.

"Marrow Cleansing martial artist!"

Xu Yang's pupils contracted, and he decisively rushed into the mountain forest.

That Cao Jin had actually come. Fortunately, he was one step late, otherwise, he feared he would also be in danger.

In an instant, the murderous intent he had triggered due to the Xiao Hua crisis subsided by more than half. He took a detour all the way back to the Profound Heaven Sect and didn't take the main road again, worried about encountering Cao Jin.

When he was about to reach the Profound Heaven Sect, he went to the place where he often hid his clothes, changed out of the black suit, and put on the outer sect disciple robes of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Walking back to the main road, he soon saw Lu Ren.

Lu Ren looked somewhat frustrated, his robes were torn, there were bloodstains on the corners of his mouth that hadn't been wiped clean, and his aura was chaotic; he should have experienced a bitter battle.

"You actually managed to come back alive too." Lu Ren was somewhat surprised.

But he didn't make a move. They were less than a kilometer from the Profound Heaven Sect, which was a safe distance; not many people dared to make a move here.

Xu Yang smiled: "You look a bit frustrated."

Lu Ren snorted and didn't speak again.

"Not easy, you all came back alive."

Sounds came from ahead. Xu Yang looked up and found it was Gu Haoming's group, but only he, the person named Yang Ji, and Cao Rong were there; Cao Jin was gone.

Lu Ren looked at the three coldly, his aura unstable, and didn't speak.

But Xu Yang knew that the murderous intent in his heart was probably very surging; Lu Ren definitely wanted to kill Gu Haoming and the other two.

Cao Rong looked at Xu Yang and said: "How do you know the Flying Swallow Skill?"

Xu Yang's heart sank. To hide his true cultivation, he generally used this true qi lightness skill. He feared it was seen by Cao Rong at some point.

But his expression remained unchanged, and he asked in confusion: "What Flying Swallow Skill?"

Cao Rong was confused. Could it be that he had misread it? At that time, he had only glanced at it in a hurry, and he wasn't sure if what Xu Yang used was the Flying Swallow Skill.

He didn't speak again and walked in front with Gu Haoming and the other. Several people soon met some other people. Not many were uninjured, and most people's auras were very unstable.

Even Liu Xiao, the third-place finisher from Qingyuan County in the previous term, had bloodstains on him.

Seeing that Xu Yang and Lu Ren had actually come back alive, many people were surprised, especially Xu Yang, who didn't even have half a trace of fighting, as if he hadn't been targeted.

Handing over the waist token to verify his identity, Xu Yang entered the Profound Heaven Sect and returned to the courtyard all the way.

There was no one in the courtyard. He returned directly to his room, locked the door, and began to count his gains.

Two thousand one hundred taels of silver, plus what he had on him, totaled three thousand three hundred taels.

Forty contribution points, equal to one Profound Origin Qi-Transforming Pill, plus what he had on him, he had one hundred and twenty, equal to four Origin-Returning Pills and three Profound Origin Qi-Transforming Pills.

Five Ten-Complete Replenishment Pills, plus his own four, totaled nine.

And a Gang Qi realm pill recipe.

This gain could be said to be his biggest one yet.

"Xiao Hua!"

The bad thing was that he might have truly torn his face with Xiao Hua.

"As long as my cultivation isn't exposed, he won't necessarily associate it with me. So many people were robbed and killed; Ma Jun could also have been killed by someone else."

There was such a possibility, but he couldn't be lucky; he must treat Xiao Hua with the worst-case scenario.

Collecting his thoughts and putting away various things, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to circulate his qi to refine the Ten-Complete Replenishment Pill he had taken earlier.

In the evening, four figures appeared outside the Profound Heaven Sect. They were Shen Liang and the other three who had staggered the robbery and returned to the Profound Heaven Sect after refining the pills at the Guo family.

"Xu Yang should be dead!" An Ping said.

Tang Xiao gloated and said: "Who told him to eat alone? He didn't bring us along when there were good things. Otherwise, if he hid in Brother Guo's house, who would dare to touch him."

It was clearly agreed that everyone would join forces, but after Xu Yang bought the Ten-Complete Replenishment Pills at a low price, he abandoned them and wanted that bottle of Ten-Complete Replenishment Pills alone.

He didn't sympathize with him at all.

Guo Huai sighed: "I fear Lu Ren is also dead. Two more geniuses from the Ten Elites list have been lost."
