Chapter 363

But an elegant figure fell along with it and stepped him back into the ground.

"I said, this is your burial ground. You thought you had me because you were at the Major Success of Gang Qi?" Xu Yang looked down at Li Qiang lying in the deep pit. The cruel and ferocious expression from before had completely turned into misery.

"Marrow Cleansing, how could you have already reached Marrow Cleansing!" Gu Haoming trembled all over like shaking chaff, his teeth chattering, and the fist he raised couldn't be thrown out.

It's over!

Xu Yang was actually at the Marrow Cleansing realm, stepping Li Qiang under his feet with one foot.

Li Chuyang hadn't even reached Marrow Cleansing yet. Why did he have this cultivation, yet was willing to be mocked as inferior to Lu Ren?

He had actually been opposing such a monster all along!

"Junior Brother Xu has actually already reached Marrow Cleansing?" Sun Tao was shocked to the point of terror.

Although he had long known Xu Yang had the strength to slaughter Xiao Chen, he thought it was after fighting hundreds of moves, never expecting Xu Yang had already reached Marrow Cleansing.

If it got out that Xu Yang had already reached Marrow Cleansing, the entire Profound Heaven Sect would be shaken.

"Xu Yang, spare my life, spare my life, we are fellow sect members," Li Qiang's terrified voice sounded from underground.

Xu Yang's gaze was cold: "Earlier... you said you wanted to take good care of my sister?"

As he spoke, he raised a foot and stepped down.

Xu Qing was absolutely his reverse scale. From the moment Li Qiang used Xu Qing to provoke him, Li Qiang was destined not to have a good end.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by the crisp sound of bone cracking, one of Li Qiang's legs broke in response, the bone even stepped out.

"Ah..." Li Qiang almost fainted from the pain, his screams echoing through the mountains and fields.

Gu Haoming heard it until his face turned pale, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He had also used Xu Qing to provoke Xu Yang.

"Kill me!"

Li Qiang begged, no longer hoping for Xu Yang to spare him, only hoping Xu Yang would give him a quick end.

"You wanted to take care of my sister, so I have to take good care of you."

Xu Yang stepped three times in a row, breaking Li Qiang's four limbs, letting him wail and roll on the ground, and then walked toward Gu Haoming.

"Xu Yang, it was all Li Qiang forcing me!"

Gu Haoming squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying with difficulty, his thighs trembling, and he was almost scared to the point of peeing.

"Oh, so the several times you wanted to kill me before were also forced by Li Qiang?" Xu Yang's voice was calm.

Gu Haoming wished he could slap himself a few times. Killing was killing; he had to say a few harsh words. Now it was troublesome.

"It was Jin Lei and the others who forced me," he said, biting the bullet.

"At the martial arts examination, you wanted to report to Cao Rong and have my sister join the Sharp Wind Hall—who forced that?"

Xu Yang's indifferent gaze swept over, and the powerful pressure made Gu Haoming's legs go soft, and he sat on the ground with a thud.

"It... it was..."

Gu Haoming said "it was" for a long time, but couldn't find anyone to shift the blame to, sweating profusely with anxiety.

"Crack!"

Xu Yang stepped forward and broke one of his legs with one foot, stepping the bone out.

Gu Haoming almost fainted from the pain, and the screams made Sun Tao's hair stand on end, his eyelids jumping.

He had felt earlier that Li Qiang and Gu Haoming mentioning Xu Qing was poking a tiger. Sure enough, they had touched Xu Yang's reverse scale; it was hard to even die.

"Brother Sun, save my life for the sake of my sister Gu Fang!" Gu Haoming's facial features were twisted together from the pain, but he still braced himself to beg Sun Tao for help.

Gu Fang and Sun Tao had a friendship, and he felt Sun Tao might save him.

"When you wanted to kill me just now, why didn't you think about the friendship between me and Gu Fang?"

Sun Tao also hated a villain like Gu Haoming and immediately stepped forward to break one of Gu Haoming's arms.

"Senior Brother, there's no need for that."

Xu Yang shook his head and broke Gu Haoming's remaining hand and leg.

He knew Sun Tao was worried about being silenced by him and was offering a certificate of merit.

Sun Tao revealed an embarrassed expression upon hearing this. Xu Yang was too shrewd; nothing could be hidden from him.

"Xu Yang, I curse you to die a horrible death," Li Qiang roared.

He couldn't stand the pain, and after shouting, he directly shattered his heart pulse and died.

"You got off easy!"

Xu Yang didn't care and turned his head to look at Gu Haoming: "Li Qiang committed suicide. Do you have the courage?"

"Give me a quick end, I beg you," Gu Haoming begged, not having the courage to commit suicide.

"Forget it, no time to torture you. Send you on your way."

After waiting for Gu Haoming to wail for a while, Xu Yang looked at the sky and directly twisted Gu Haoming's neck, then began to loot the corpses.

"Good guy, did you bring all the cash of the Gu family?"

He took out a stack of silver notes from Gu Haoming's body. After counting carefully, there were actually five thousand taels.

Except for the time at Qingfeng Stronghold, this was the time he had obtained the most silver from killing people. The Gu family could actually give Gu Haoming so much money at once.

Unfortunately, except for the silver notes, Gu Haoming didn't carry any contribution points.

Xu Yang was not short of money now; what he wanted most were contribution points.

"It shouldn't be. I estimate some of it was brought for others to the Profound Heaven Sect," Sun Tao said.

For example, he, the Jiang family, and some friends he was familiar with all entrusted him to bring money to the Profound Heaven Sect.

The money on Gu Haoming should have been some brought for others. After all, if you ask a security firm to help send it, you have to pay a protection fee.

"Whatever, it's our gain anyway."

Xu Yang smiled and went to loot Li Qiang's corpse.

Compared to Gu Haoming, Li Qiang was simply a pauper. On his whole body, he only found a little over one hundred taels of silver.

"Senior Brother, this is yours."

Xu Yang counted five hundred taels for Sun Tao as splitting the loot, and he kept the rest.

Sun Tao hadn't put in any effort and was embarrassed to take it, but under Xu Yang's insistence, he still accepted it.

Then the two joined forces to throw the two corpses into the large canyon below.

"Senior Brother, please keep the matter of my having reached Marrow Cleansing a secret. After going back, just say we encountered a Demonic Sect ambush and Li Qiang and Gu Haoming died in battle."

Sun Tao nodded: "Junior Brother Xu, rest assured, this matter will rot in my stomach."

The shock in his heart hadn't subsided yet, and he continued: "Junior Brother Xu, how did you cultivate to reach Marrow Cleansing? If this gets out, it will scare quite a few people."

Xu Yang smiled: "I also cultivated normally. Perhaps it's because my comprehension is better, and I reached Marrow Cleansing without knowing it."

The two found the horses that had run far away, remounted, and continued to rush to the Profound Heaven Sect.

The Yunling Mountains were extremely vast, with several main roads into the mountains. These main roads actually corresponded to the surrounding six counties.

The six county cities under the jurisdiction of the Profound Heaven Sect had different routes into the Yunling Mountains because of their different orientations.

At this moment, at the entrance of the main road into the Yunling Mountains from Qingyuan County, four figures were lurking in the forest like poisonous snakes. They were hiding in the dense tree canopy, and one could see the scene several miles away at a glance.

These four were all wearing green clothes, their figures perfectly blending into the leaves. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to find them at all.

"We released false news, and the Profound Heaven Sect actually thought we wouldn't cause trouble at the martial arts examination. They really think we're stupid.

A county has more than a dozen martial arts halls, more than a dozen hall masters at the Major Success of Gang Qi, and the City Guard. How many experts would have to be sent to cause trouble at the conference?

They don't know at all that our target is not those who haven't reached Gang Qi Formation at the martial arts examination, but the disciples they sent out to support."

A person wearing a horse-face mask said with a smile, his face full of self-satisfaction. This was the benefit of hiding in the dark; releasing a piece of false news at will made the Profound Heaven Sect fall for it.

This person was named Luo Tong, a disciple of the Blood Lotus Sect, ordered to lead people here to ambush those from the Profound Heaven Sect rushing to Qingyuan County.

The other three who came with him to execute the mission were Ma Ming, Yang Chao, and He Kuan.

Among them, Yang Chao and He Kuan were both at the Minor Success of Gang Qi, while Luo Tong and Ma Ming were both at the Major Success of Gang Qi. The mission was led by the two of them.

Ma Ming smiled: "According to the news, we are to ambush Li Qiang, Xu Yang, Sun Tao, and Gu Haoming of the Profound Heaven Sect. Among them, only Li Qiang is at the Major Success of Gang Qi, while Xu Yang, Sun Tao, and Gu Haoming are only at the Minor Success of Gang Qi.

This mission is a sure thing. When we make a move, you two only need to entangle the opponents, and wait for me and Luo Tong to kill the opponents."

Hearing that the Profound Heaven Sect side only had one Major Success of Gang Qi, and they had two, Ma Ming and Yang Chao both felt it was stable. Not to mention picking up a merit for free, they could also obtain the essence and blood of the Profound Heaven Sect disciples.

Luo Tong took out several portraits and said: "Look closely, he is Xu Yang, the Ten Elites genius of the Profound Heaven Sect. Killing him, the merit is comparable to killing a Marrow Cleansing martial artist. I spent a lot of money to clear the relationship before I snatched the opportunity to ambush him from other teams. Don't let him run away."

He Kuan remembered Xu Yang's appearance and patted his chest: "Boss Luo, rest assured. Yang Chao and I might not be able to kill the Ten Elites genius, but leaving him behind is absolutely no problem."

If he wasn't worried about talking big and not being able to do it, he would have wanted to say he could kill Xu Yang.

Demonic arts are sinister. Generally, at the same realm, the combat power of Demonic Sect disciples exceeds that of righteous sect disciples.

"Seems like they're here!" Yang Chao, who had been watching the distance, suddenly said in a low voice.
