Chapter 365

Ma Ming couldn't help but open his mouth and spray a large piece of fresh blood. His body, which had risen to mid-air, fell rapidly like a meteorite, his eyeballs almost shaken out of their sockets.

However, this was not the end.

Xu Yang's large hand followed like a shadow, continuing to slap Ma Ming on the head like slapping a ball.

"Bang!"

"Crack!"

Accompanied by a muffled thud and the sound of cracking bone, his cervical vertebrae snapped instantly, his head was driven straight into his chest cavity, and his body slammed into the ground like a cannonball, smashing out a large crater.

"Stay for me!" Sun Tao roared.

His opponent, Yang Chao, had already been scared out of his wits by Xu Yang's fierce power, and even resisted Sun Tao's sword to escape.

The Fine Rain Startling Wind Sword was unfolded, blasting Yang Chao until he coughed up blood, and dense blood holes appeared on his body.

"Boom!"

The air roared, and Xu Yang landed in front of Yang Chao like a thunderbolt, the domineering aura scaring Yang Chao until his liver and gallbladder were split.

There was nothing to say. He reached out a large hand, his five fingers like iron drills grabbing through Yang Chao's protective Gang Qi and pinching Yang Chao's neck.

"Spare..."

Yang Chao was terrified to the extreme. Before the word "life" could be said, only a "crack" was heard, and his neck had already been broken by Xu Yang.

A carefully planned ambush ended here, and the four Blood Lotus Sect disciples were all killed in an instant.

"Junior Brother Xu is so fierce, killing a Major Success of Gang Qi martial artist is like killing a chicken or slaughtering a dog."

Sun Tao stopped his footsteps, his Gang Qi gradually calming down, his heart unable to stop the shock.

Xu Yang only used four moves, and the four Blood Lotus Sect disciples were all slaughtered.

"No wonder Junior Brother Xu wants to be so low-key."

He finally understood the reason for Xu Yang's low-key. If this talent were known to everyone, it would inevitably be the primary target for the Blood Lotus Sect to eliminate.

If the Blood Lotus Sect knew Xu Yang had already reached Marrow Cleansing, the ones who came today wouldn't be two Major Success of Gang Qi, but two Marrow Cleansing.

"Didn't expect there would really be Demonic Sect people coming to ambush. It's good to have an explanation when going back like this," Xu Yang smiled.

Establishing merit, and also being able to cover up the killing of Li Qiang and Gu Haoming. When the time comes, just say the two died in the fight with the Demonic Sect.

By the way, he could also announce that he had broken through to the Major Success of Gang Qi, which could be said to be killing multiple birds with one stone.

"Senior Brother, clean up the battlefield."

The two began to loot the corpses. Besides silver money, a waist token engraved with a red lotus was found on all four people.

"Bring the heads back too," Xu Yang said.

"Good!"

Sun Tao pulled out his long sword, chopped off all four heads, and wrapped them up with clothes.

The two remounted their horses and continued to rush to the Profound Heaven Sect.

A few days later, two dusty figures appeared at the Profound Heaven Sect.

"Finally back!" Sun Tao smiled and dismounted.

Taking the long sword from the saddle and picking up the human heads, the two soon found Sun Ke in the Mission Hall.

"Tell me about your situation!" Sun Ke revealed a solemn expression.

Xu Yang and the others were not the first to return. The disciples who rushed to other counties all suffered ambushes, some only one or two escaped, and those with weaker strength were directly wiped out.

A total of twenty-four disciples were sent out, and fewer than five returned. Only Xu Yang and Sun Tao could bring back the heads of Demonic Sect disciples.

The others who returned all came back seriously injured.

Xu Yang said in a deep voice: "We suffered an ambush by four Blood Lotus Sect disciples, two Major Success of Gang Qi and two Minor Success of Gang Qi. Senior Brother Li Qiang and Gu Haoming fought to the death.

If it weren't for the fact that I reached the Major Success of Gang Qi during my return to Qingyuan, and they misjudged our strength, Senior Brother Sun Tao and I would not have been able to return either."

Sun Tao's eyelids jumped wildly. Looking at Xu Yang's sorrowful and fearful appearance, if he hadn't seen with his own eyes that it was Xu Yang who slaughtered Li Qiang and Gu Haoming, he would have believed Xu Yang's words.

Sun Ke's eyes lit up: "You broke through to the Major Success of Gang Qi?"

Xu Yang nodded.

Sun Ke said: "You two are really lucky. If it weren't for your Major Success of Gang Qi, I fear you would have been wiped out."

He didn't pursue the details of Li Qiang and Gu Haoming's deaths at all.

"These are the heads of those Blood Lotus Sect disciples and their waist tokens." Xu Yang put the things on the table.

"Let me see!"

Sun Ke checked the waist tokens one by one and said: "They are indeed Blood Lotus Sect disciple waist tokens."

Immediately after, he placed his hand on the heads, not knowing what means he used, and determined that the dead were also Blood Lotus Sect disciples.

"According to the mission regulations, you each get thirty basic contribution points, killing two Minor Success of Gang Qi gets eighty contribution points, killing two Major Success of Gang Qi gets one hundred and twenty contribution points, totaling two hundred and sixty contribution points," Sun Ke smiled.

Xu Yang and Sun Tao were both hot-eyed upon hearing this. Although this mission was risky, the harvest was quite good.

Sun Ke left and soon returned, handing a pile of contribution points to the two: "How to divide it, you divide it yourselves according to how much effort you put in."

Xu Yang nodded. While reaching out to take it, several silver notes were silently stuffed into Sun Ke's hand.

Sun Ke was stunned and opened the silver notes Xu Yang had secretly handed him in front of Sun Tao.

Good guy, a full three hundred taels.

"Speak, what do you want to ask of me?" Sun Ke smiled.

There were only the three of them here, and he wasn't afraid of Sun Tao knowing he had accepted Xu Yang's bribe. Outer sect deacons accepting bribes was not a secret that couldn't be made public in the Profound Heaven Sect.

As long as they didn't do things that violated sect rules, the higher-ups also turned a blind eye.

Xu Yang cupped his hands and said: "I have a younger sister who luckily ascended the dragon in this session's examination. I ask Deacon Sun to help me arrange an easy, non-dangerous, and long-term mission for her. If this money is not enough, Deacon Sun can just say so."

Sun Tao was surprised. Xu Yang himself did missions and couldn't bear to spend money to go through the back door.

His sister Xu Qing hadn't even arrived at the Profound Heaven Sect, and he was already spending money to go through the back door here. He was really doting on Xu Qing, afraid that she would suffer after coming to the Profound Heaven Sect.

Sun Ke pondered for a moment and smiled: "How is her talent?"

Asking about talent when going through the back door?

Xu Yang revealed a strange expression and said honestly: "Talent is average. She practiced martial arts for a year and a half, cultivating the Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist, and only comprehended Wind-Thunder Force on the eve of the martial arts examination."
