Chapter 356

After giving the order to Xu Qing, he invited Sun Tao into the room and said: "What happened, Senior Brother Sun?"

It wasn't something that happened; Sun Tao couldn't have had Qiu Wenjie bring him here.

Sun Tao was stunned: "You don't know that Lie Feng Hall's Ji Yun was killed?"

Xu Yang shook his head: "I didn't go out today, I don't know about this. Who killed him?"

Could it really not be Junior Brother Xu who killed him?

Sun Tao said: "I don't know, but Commander Li He inferred that it might have been someone from the Demonic Sect. The Demonic Sect might have sent experts specifically to assassinate the experts of Qingyuan County.

Li Qiang and Commander Li He discussed it and decided to let us be responsible for protecting the safety of the geniuses of Qingyuan County. Pack up, let's go."

If the Demonic Sect really had sent experts, the ones they would most want to kill were naturally the candidates with good talent.

Killing one with good talent was more effective than killing ten ordinary ones. Protecting these candidates was truly fraught with danger.

"Sinister intentions!" A cold light appeared in Xu Yang's eyes.

Li Qiang's move was simply disregarding his and Sun Tao's lives, and there might even be the idea of using the Demonic Sect's hands to eliminate him and Sun Tao.

Because only he and Sun Tao were assigned the protection task, while Gu Haoming and Li Qiang used the excuse that they were responsible for the safety of the examination.

After greeting Xu Qing, Xu Yang left with Sun Tao.

In this session of the examination, Qingyuan County had three most famous geniuses, one of whom was said to have talent no weaker than Kong Yu of the previous session.

This person was named Qiao Yong. Although his innate talent was only Grade B-plus, not as good as Kong Yu's Grade A, it was said that when he had been practicing martial arts for less than seven months, he had already comprehended the Heaven-Piercing Force of the Through-Arm Fist, and his comprehension was very frightening.

One had to know that Lu Ren of the previous session had only comprehended Wind-Thunder Force after the martial arts examination ended, having practiced martial arts for a year and a half.

Even so, Lu Ren had shocked quite a few people back then.

In just over half a year, comprehending the Heaven-Piercing Force, which was on the same level as Wind-Thunder Force, his talent could be imagined, enough to make up for his shortcoming of not being as good as Kong Yu in innate talent.

The one Xu Yang was responsible for protecting was precisely this Qiao Yong, and he soon met Qiao Yong at the Through-Arm Fist Hall.

A very arrogant youth, even more arrogant than Kong Yu back then. Seeing Xu Yang, he only nodded faintly and continued practicing his fist technique.

Xu Yang didn't care and sat to the side to meditate.

When it got dark, Qiao Yong finished practicing his fist technique, took a bath, and invited Xu Yang to eat.

"Sorry to trouble you, Brother Xu, to protect me. Once I also enter the Profound Heaven Sect, I will definitely protect you in the future, Brother Xu," Qiao Yong said.

His words were full of confidence in himself; otherwise, he wouldn't have said something like protecting Xu Yang in the future.

Although he was arrogant, he wasn't brainless. He knew his safety was now tied to Xu Yang, so he began to use words to win him over, giving Xu Yang empty promises.

He had some schemes, but his experience was still lacking.

If he knew what the situation in the Profound Heaven Sect was like, he would know that such words were no different from farting to someone who had been muddling along in the Profound Heaven Sect for two years.
