Chapter 318: Revenge

“Run!”

Cao Jin trembled all over, his liver and gallbladder splitting, not daring to fight the semi-spirit weapon at all. His physical body was no different from paper in the sharpness of the semi-spirit weapon.

“Pfft!”

Just as he turned around, he felt his neck go cold, blood splashed before his eyes, his vision rolled quickly, and he saw a familiar headless body with blood spraying like a fountain.

“My head was cut off.”

He only had time to raise this thought, and his consciousness plunged into darkness.

“Xu Yang, spare my life, I am Yun Heng.”

In the blink of an eye, five accomplices were killed, four of them, and the remaining Yun Heng was terrified, begging for mercy while running.

Because he had already sensed Xu Yang like a galloping thunder, approaching him quickly at a speed faster than his, the powerful aura rolling behind him like a surging tide.

“I know!”

An indifferent and ruthless voice rang out, followed by sharp blade qi sweeping over.

“Boom!”

The blade qi tore through the air and roared. Before it arrived, Yun Heng already had a sense of horror that his body was about to split. He couldn’t care about running away and hurriedly jumped high to avoid the terrifying blade qi slashed by the semi-spirit weapon.

But just this delay, Xu Yang had already caught up.

He hadn’t landed yet, and the semi-spirit weapon Red Blood had turned into a blade light covering him, the cold killing intent making him feel like falling into an ice cellar.

“No……”

Yun Heng let out a desperate roar. The sharpness of the semi-spirit weapon couldn’t be blocked at all. Without a weapon of this level in hand, facing a semi-spirit weapon was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Even an expert at the Great Accomplishment of Marrow Cleansing, facing a Minor Accomplishment of Marrow Cleansing holding a semi-spirit weapon, could only deal with it carefully and didn’t dare to touch it with his body.

“Pfft!”

He tried his best to move his body horizontally, but an arm was still swept by the blade light and was cut off on the spot, rotating and falling to the ground in the air.

“Ah……”

Yun Heng was in such pain that his vision went black, his body swayed, and he looked at Xu Yang with fear.

Wasn’t he punished by Elder Huoyun to guard Moon Lake? Why was he given a semi-spirit weapon for protection?

“Whew!”

The sound of wind breaking rang out. Yun Heng hadn’t stood firm yet and eased from the pain of the broken arm when the blood-colored blade light followed and slashed over.

He wanted to lower his head, but it was a step too late.

Only feeling his neck go cold and painful, his body suddenly stiffened, and hot blood surged from his throat, splashing all over his face.

Yun Heng covered it with his remaining hand in fear, but how could he cover it?

His neck, with its tendons and bones cut, snapped and tilted ninety degrees to one side, and his body fell down with it.

“Luo Xin, you beast, you ruined us.”

Liu Qing wasn’t dead yet, cursing Luo Xin who fell beside him.

If it weren’t for this beast Luo Xin coming to incite him and telling him that Xu Yang had left Lihuo Peak, he would never have appeared at Moon Lake. He thought he was coming to seek a glimmer of life, but it was a dead end. Xu Yang had long been bestowed a semi-spirit weapon by Elder Huoyun for protection.

And it wasn’t an ordinary semi-spirit weapon, but a boutique among semi-spirit weapons, with terrifying power

"Thump, thump..."

Footsteps sounded, and the handsome man walked over carrying the blood-red precious blade, like a god of slaughter.

"Senior Brother Xu, spare my life!" Luo Xin begged.

The mask on his face had long since fallen off, revealing a terrified and pale face.

"Xu Yang, spare me. I didn't want to come. It was Luo Xin who incited me. We were all called by him. Spare my life, and in the future, all the resources of my Liu family will be at your disposal, and all the contribution points I earn will also belong to you."

In order to survive, Liu Qing sold Luo Xin without hesitation and even offered conditions.

Xu Yang was expressionless: "Even if I spare you, can you still live?"

The Golden Qi, which was already overbearing and sharp, was unleashed through the semi-spiritual weapon Red Blood, and its power was raised to a higher level.

Liu Qing and Luo Xin's injuries didn't look too heavy, but their vitality was already gone. Even if he didn't kill them, they wouldn't live long, and even if they had spiritual medicine to heal their wounds now, it wouldn't work.

"Let me send you on your way and help you find relief."

"No!" Both of them were terrified out of their wits.

Xu Yang revealed a gentle smile, stepped forward, and thrust Red Blood hard.

"Pfft!"

The tip of the blade thrust out from Liu Qing's back, blood sprayed, but the blade didn't get a drop of blood on it.

Liu Qing widened his eyes, the look of fear gradually faded, his trembling body quieted down, and he slowly fell to the ground.

Luo Xin, who was on the side, was almost scared to death. His body shook like chaff, he even wet himself in fear, and he crawled desperately on the ground.

"Don't be afraid, just endure it for a moment."

Xu Yang strode over and nailed Luo Xin to the ground with one strike. His limbs twitched for a while, and after a few breaths, Luo Xin also had no movement.

He sheathed his blade and searched the five corpses, but found nothing except silver banknotes.

However, the silver banknotes were not few; the silver on the five people added up to nearly three thousand taels.

"Why haven't you come over to dispose of the corpses?"

Chen Yong and the others had already been stunned and were still in a daze.

They thought they were doomed today and would be wiped out by this gang of thugs, but they never expected that the blade Xu Yang was holding, which had a patina, was actually a semi-spiritual weapon.

They saw Xu Yang charge into the five experts at the early stage of Marrow Cleansing, slashing and hacking. After a few rounds, all five experts at the early stage of Marrow Cleansing were killed.

"So that day he was able to injure the Green-Scaled Eagle because of this semi-spiritual weapon," Zhou Jiang swallowed hard.

It was just that he had too little experience; he had only heard of things like semi-spiritual weapons and had never seen one.

Unfortunately, Xu Yang didn't know what Zhou Jiang was thinking. He was able to easily kill Liu Qing, Luo Xin, and the others not just because of the semi-spiritual weapon Red Blood in his hand. If someone else were to come, even if they were given Red Blood, it would be impossible to easily kill Luo Xin and the five.

His current strength, not to say invincible under the Heavenly Origin stage, but most of the great perfection of Marrow Cleansing should be easily killed. A semi-spiritual weapon is powerful, but it also depends on who is using it.

"Co-coming!"

Chen Yong was the first to react from the shock. He led Zhou Jiang, Guo Yun, and others over, and looking at the severed limbs and arms on the ground, his heart was shocked again.

Five warriors at the early stage of Marrow Cleansing just died like that, like chopping melons and vegetables.

"These beasts dared to come and loot the sect's mining site; they deserve to die."

Several people naturally heard the conversation between Xu Yang and Luo Xin and Liu Qing and knew that these people were all disciples of the Purple Sun Sect.

"Drag the corpses outside and bury them," Xu Yang said.

Chen Yong said: "Don't. Marrow Cleansing experts have strong blood and energy, which is a great tonic for strange beasts. Burying them directly will attract powerful strange beasts nearby. It's best to burn them."

Xu Yang then remembered that this was the depths of the Yunling Mountains, where strange beasts were rampant. With so many corpses of Marrow Cleansing warriors, the smell of blood spreading out could really attract powerful strange beasts.

"Then burn them. Make sure my contribution is recorded."

Xu Yang turned and left.

Regardless of whether Luo Xin and the others came to seek revenge on him, he had ultimately protected the mining site, saved everyone, and killed five Marrow Cleansing experts for the mining site. On the contribution book, no one could erase his contribution.

"It can be considered as removing a future trouble!" Xu Yang thought to himself.

This time, basically everyone who had friction with him appeared, which could be considered once and for all.

Speaking of which, he had to thank Luo Xin.

If it weren't for this guy inciting and contacting everywhere, it would have been really difficult for him to kill so many people he wanted to kill at once.

Cao Jin, Yun Feng, Liu Qing, and these people were not from the same peak as him. Even if he had long wanted to slaughter these people, it would have been difficult to find an opportunity.

Chen Yong and the others disposed of the corpses, and Xu Yang returned to the courtyard to continue his blacksmithing plan.

At night, under the dim oil lamp, two shadows were stretched long.

"I didn't expect Elder Huoyun to value him so much. Even after being sent here, he was given a semi-spiritual weapon for protection. If it weren't for today's events, I wouldn't have known that the thing with the patina on his scabbard was a semi-spiritual weapon," Guo Yun sent a sound transmission.

Chen Yong sent a sound transmission: "Today's events can be considered a blessing in misfortune. Although dangerous, we have seen his strength. Tell the brothers to be careful and not to reveal any flaws.

I thought he was a kid who could be easily manipulated, but I didn't expect him to have a semi-spiritual weapon and strength comparable to the great perfection of Marrow Cleansing."

Guo Yun frowned: "How long do we have to be careful? The items have accumulated quite a bit, and we must transport them away as soon as possible."

"Just do as I say. Don't be anxious; prioritize stability. Elder Huoyun values him so much, he shouldn't be able to stay here for long."

"What if he never leaves?"

Coldness flashed in Chen Yong's eyes: "Then find a way to make him leave."

Time passed, and there was a bit of chill at Moon Lake. Xu Yang had been here for a month and took the third Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Core.

"At most a month and a half, I can break through to the great perfection of Marrow Cleansing."

It wasn't just his cultivation base that was steadily improving. In terms of weapon forging skills, he could now forge all kinds of weapons. Basically, whatever he thought of in his mind, there wouldn't be much difference in the finished product.

The transformation of his Qi had ended, and it was more refined and overbearing than before. It could be said that it had risen to a level, carrying a faint blade intent.

The result of this was that the progress of the Ming King Immovable Body was terrifyingly fast, and the progress of body forging was advancing by leaps and bounds, twice as fast as before he had cultivated blade intent.

[Ming King Immovable Body · Entry (2824/4000)]

At most a month and a half, the Ming King Immovable Body could also break through.

"This should be considered blade intent body forging, right?" Xu Yang thought.

After the Qi transformation, it possessed some blade intent characteristics, sharp and overbearing.

The physique forged with it was absolutely extraordinary. Even if there were people who practiced the Ming King Immovable Body, their physical bodies should not be as good as his.

Whether a cultivation technique is strong or not sometimes depends on what kind of person is practicing it.

Glancing at the panel, Xu Yang continued to cultivate.

Under the effect of the mental method, the Qi was like a raging fire tempering his bones and flesh, and like thousands of iron hammers, constantly beating his body.

"Senior Brother Xu, people from the inner sect have come to transport the black iron. Manager Chen invites you to go over to supervise and check the accounts."

Suddenly, Guo Yun's voice sounded outside.

"I'll be there in a moment!"

Xu Yang put away the Ming King Immovable Body, changed his clothes, and walked out of the courtyard, only to see a convoy driving from outside, and the leader was Guan Du.

In the convoy, he also saw Zhu Yuan, Hong Lei, and other Blazing Fire Peak disciples.

"Greetings, Senior Brothers!" Xu Yang said with a smile.

His gaze swept over the carriages, only to see them loaded with grain, dried meat, and so on.

The inner sect comes once every two months, both to transport the mined black iron ore and to deliver supplies.

"Junior Brother Xu, are you getting used to living here?" Guan Du smiled.

Zhu Yuan, Hong Lei, and others also stepped forward to greet Xu Yang.

"The weather is getting cold now, and things can be preserved for a long time. I specially got you some fresh meat. You can move it to your room and enjoy it yourself."

Guan Du pointed to a deer leg on the carriage and said.

"Many thanks, Senior Brother Guan!"

Xu Yang didn't stand on ceremony and moved the deer leg back to his courtyard.

He had also entered the mountains wanting to hunt some fierce beasts to eat, but his luck didn't seem very good. Several times he didn't encounter any prey, and coupled with his worry about the safety of the mining site, he didn't dare to delay for too long, so he returned empty-handed several times.

"That dog Luo Xin has been missing for more than half a month. It turns out he died here. The sect even sent people to look for them."

When Xu Yang returned, Chen Yong had already told Guan Du and the others about what happened before, and several people couldn't help but curse Luo Xin and the others.

They were all inner sect disciples with the cultivation base of the early stage of Marrow Cleansing, which was also the backbone of the Purple Sun Sect.

Suddenly disappearing all together, the Purple Sun Sect had even looked for them in Qingyang City for a while. They didn't expect them to have come to Moon Lake and been killed here by Xu Yang.

After the grain supplies were unloaded and the black iron was loaded, Guan Du and the others didn't stay long and drove away quickly.

This matter was just a small interlude for Xu Yang. The black iron in the warehouse was transported away, and he was actually much more relaxed. No items meant a smaller chance of something happening.

That evening, because the supplies had just been delivered, everyone at the mining site had a good meal.

Xu Yang personally took action and also cooked a pot with the venison Guan Du gave him.
