Chapter 84

In mid-air, he twisted his body to turn around, only to see the opponent sticking to him like a dog-skin plaster, five fingers like eagle claws grabbing toward his dantian.

At this moment, he also saw the person's appearance clearly; the opponent was actually wearing a mask, revealing only a pair of sinister eyes.

"Bang!"

Having avoided the killing moves twice in a row, Xu Yang had naturally reacted. He kicked out in mid-air, knocking away the hand that was grabbing toward his dantian, and his body landed steadily on the ground.

The immense force shook the opponent back, leaving several footprints on the ground.

The opponent seemed to have been recoiled by his incredibly hard physique. While retreating, they shook their palm, their eyes filled with shock. Clearly, they had not expected his body to be so hard, as if they had collided with a stubborn rock.

Xu Yang's eyes emitted a cold light, his aura sharp.

He didn't know who the person was or why they had painstakingly ambushed him here to kill him. Between the two of them, only one could survive today.

"Boom!"

Ice and snow mixed with mud exploded. Xu Yang lunged out, his muscles and bones sounding like a string of firecrackers, emitting crisp cracking noises.

This time, it was finally his turn to take the initiative to attack.

His anger ignited his heart fire in an instant, and Diamond True Qi surged out from his dantian, his blood energy boiling like water.

His spine, the great dragon, seemed to come alive, penetrating joint by joint, and the tyrannical force surged into his arms.

Explosive Xiong Jin!

This was the first time they had truly engaged in a clash. They had been testing each other, and the moment he struck, it was the signature killing move of the Mountain-Shaking Xiong Quan: Explosive Xiong Jin.

His fist tore through the air, bringing up a terrifying gale. The snowflakes within three feet of his fist were shattered into powder, the momentum extremely shocking.

The masked person's expression changed drastically. This move was not refined, but the tyrannical aura caused a violent sense of crisis to emerge in their heart.

They immediately dared not clash head-on with Xu Yang and instead raised their hands to defend.

"Bang!"

The fist struck. The masked person's whole body shook violently, feeling as if their arms had been struck by a heavy hammer. Although the bones didn't shatter, they feared cracks had appeared, and for a moment, they lost sensation.

Even more terrifying was a tyrannical true qi surging from Xu Yang's fist into their body, clashing within their meridians like a knife.

"Explosive Xiong Jin!"

"True Qi leaving the body!"

"Qi Gathering Minor Success!"

The masked person finally realized why they had been unable to do anything to Xu Yang despite their sneak attack.

Xu Yang's cultivation had actually reached the realm of Qi Gathering Minor Success, True Qi leaving the body, and he had also comprehended the Explosive Xiong Jin of the Mountain-Shaking Xiong Quan.

Even if he only possessed one of these, it would be impossible for them to kill Xu Yang, let alone both.

They wanted to escape!

But Xu Yang's offensive was like a tide, fierce and sharp.

The second move had already been struck, following closely behind the first.

While the masked person was suppressing the riotous true qi and their hand had not yet regained sensation, his other hand had already grabbed out like lightning, locking onto the masked person's wrist like an iron pincer.

Xu Yang twisted his hand, his force spitting out. Only a "crack" was heard, and the masked person's hand was twisted off alive, distorted like a twist of dough.

"Ah..."

The pain of the broken arm made the masked person's vision go black, and they almost fainted from the pain.

They were wearing a mask and hadn't made a sound, but at this moment, they forgot all that and subconsciously let out a wail.

"Bao Gang!"

As soon as the voice came out, Xu Yang knew who the person ambushing him was. He hadn't expected it to be Bao Gang at all.

This guy actually came to kill him just because he hadn't lent him money during the day?

"Die!"

The pain of the broken arm drove Bao Gang mad. He didn't care about his identity being revealed. With a fierce light in his eyes, he swung his other hand to strike at Xu Yang's throat.

At this moment, he only wanted to kill the person who had broken his arm.

"Swish!"

But he had forgotten that Xu Yang also had another hand.

The moment his palm struck, Xu Yang's other hand moved as if it had no bones, lashing out instantly. It was the Whip Force from the Mountain-Shaking Xiong Quan.

Bao Gang's sleeve exploded, and a bloodstain appeared on his wrist, causing him to scream in pain once again.

Xu Yang's expression was cold and stern. He grabbed Bao Gang's broken wrist with both hands and pulled hard.

"Splurt!"

Blood splattered, and the white hand tendons were pulled off along with the wrist. The scene was incredibly bloody.

"Xu Yang, spare my life! It was my greed that blinded me; I shouldn't have thought of robbing you after losing money."

Weiyuan Martial Hall, Xu Yang, the person abandoned by the Huang family—killing him to rob him shouldn't have been a sure thing? Bao Gang never expected the reality to differ so much from his expectations. Xu Yang had already quietly reached Qi Gathering Minor Success.

He finally felt fear and screamed loudly, begging for mercy.

"If you come to kill, you must be prepared to be killed."

Xu Yang stepped on Bao Gang's knee. Only a "crack" was heard, and Bao Gang's leg snapped in response, his body immediately tilting to the side.

He continued to strike with his palm, slashing at Bao Gang's neck. His head smashed heavily into the ice and snow, and his body began to twitch.

"Die!"

The third move was a stomp on Bao Gang's neck, and the twitching body immediately went quiet.

Xu Yang let out a long sigh of relief and crouched down to search the corpse. After searching for a long time, he didn't find a single coin.

"Bad luck!" he couldn't help but curse under his breath.

He had killed people several times, but this was the first time he had encountered someone so penniless. He must have lost everything before coming to rob him.

The wind and snow grew heavier, and soon it would cover the traces here.

But Xu Yang still threw Bao Gang's body into the mountains before returning to the road to continue home.

Pushing open the door, Xu Qing hurriedly stepped forward to clear the snow from his body: "Brother, you're late again."

"I went to Uncle's house," Xu Yang explained.

"Today, Aunt Gao from next door came to our house to borrow grain, but I didn't lend her any," Xu Qing whispered.

Xu Yang nodded and said: "Except for those who have helped us in the past, don't lend to anyone who comes."

When Second Uncle Xu didn't care whether they lived or died, they had also gone to others to borrow grain, but very few people lent to them.

"There isn't much firewood left at home. The snow is too heavy, and I don't dare go up the mountain."

"I'll go chop some tomorrow. You stay at home and be at ease."

……

In the wind and snow, the voices of the brother and sister gradually faded away. ===== CHAPTER 85 =====
