Chapter 9: At All Costs, Beat Him Into a Pig's Head

The moment Feng Lin drew his sword, Yan Xiao felt the gap between himself and this pretty boy.

Upgrading the Magic Sword to Middle Grade, plus the augmentation of 2000 Fear Value—such a powerful attack was still shattered by Feng Lin with a single strike.

Is a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator actually this terrifying?

"No one in the Qi Refining Realm can take this sword strike of yours; you are quite remarkable." Feng Lin put on a refined smile and sheathed his sword.

The implication was: I have already given you face, do not be aggressive.

Yan Xiao naturally heard the subtext.

However, the little girl had finally managed to perceive what this world looked like, and had not even had the chance to "see" the world a few more times.

She was injured by him, and the world returned to total darkness once again.

Furthermore, she had to consume Soul Gathering Grass and endure heart-wrenching pain.

How could this be left unsettled just because of a word from you?

No matter what, by exhausting all his strength, Yan Xiao would make this pretty boy pay the price.

"I have one more sword strike. This strike is too powerful, and I fear it may harm the innocent. Allow me to notify the surrounding villagers to avoid causing panic."

Yan Xiao held his long sword and said in a flat tone.

Feng Lin was stunned; if not for his concern for the Senior Martial Sister, he would have likely erupted and killed him long ago.

"You don't know what's good for you. You have one sword strike? Then I shall also unleash one. If you die, you cannot blame me." Feng Lin shouted coldly, his feigned refinement instantly collapsing.

Yan Xiao nodded and channeled his Qi to his dantian.

Everyone held their breath, wanting to see what exactly he was going to do.

Suddenly!

"Fellow villagers and elders, a Phantom Demon is attacking! Everyone close your doors and windows, do not go outside..."

Yan Xiao shouted at the top of his lungs.

In an instant, the villagers within a radius of several miles rushed home at top speed and slammed their doors shut with a bang.

Fear Value from the villagers +10000.

Everyone was speechless.

Feng Lin looked at Yan Xiao as if he were an idiot, his face full of disdain.

"Third Senior Brother, what is the meaning of this?" In the air, the Fourth Junior Brother asked the senior brother beside him.

The Third Senior Brother shook his head, indicating he did not understand.

"Perhaps he is afraid of harming the innocent...?" Qianyue Fairy said with doubt.

"Little Junior Sister is right. It seems this youth does not have a bad heart." The Fourth Junior Brother nodded, his favor for Yan Xiao increasing significantly.

The tall woman did not speak; she also could not understand what Yan Xiao was doing.

Seeing the 10000 Fear Value in the background, Yan Xiao said to the system without hesitation, "System, apply it all to the Magic Sword. I want to beat this pretty boy into a pig's head."

"Owner, even with your strength fully applied to the Magic Sword, you still cannot kill Feng Lin.

Would you like to reconsider?"

The system suggested.

"If the Fear Value is gone, I can earn more later. If I can't even protect the girl, then what's the point of cultivating."

Yan Xiao did not change his expression; if he couldn't kill him, then he would at least make him lose a layer of skin. Bullying Qingxue must come with a price.

The system stopped speaking, and the 10000 points of Fear Value were all applied to the Magic Sword.

The original three-foot Black Sword grew more than twice its size, and the purple light upon it illuminated the entire courtyard.

A terrifying aura enveloped Feng Lin, and the incomparably immense pressure made this genius youth feel horrified.

"This... this is the strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm!"

The Fourth Junior Brother exclaimed in shock.

"To be able to unleash such a powerful attack while in the Qi Refining Realm, this youth is truly extraordinary." The Third Senior Brother agreed.

"Senior Sister, stop them quickly!" Qianyue Fairy was kind-hearted; seeing this display of power, there would inevitably be casualties.

The matter started because of her, and she did not want to see such a scene.

"No need to worry." The tall woman waved her hand lightly, remaining calm in the face of change.

With a point of her jade finger, the Talisman in her hand scattered, actually wrapping the entire courtyard; no matter how it shook inside, it could not affect the outside.

At this moment, Feng Lin finally began to take Yan Xiao seriously, treating him as an opponent of the same level.

He gripped his Flying Sword tightly and used the ultimate technique of Fengxue Silver City, the Ice and Snow Sword Technique.

The third strike of the Red Flame Triple Slash—Blazing Fire Spreads Across the Plains.

Yan Xiao pushed off the ground with both feet, leaped high into the air, and slashed down with his sword.

Upon the Magic Sword, all the augmentation transformed into a towering inferno, crashing down toward Feng Lin like a meteor.

"Boom!"

The earth shook, and the already dilapidated courtyard was smashed down in an instant, dust and smoke rising everywhere.

Feng Lin used ice and snow to block most of the flames, but the fire emitted by the Magic Sword was truly too ferocious.

It instantly broke through his defense; at that moment, he felt as if he were experiencing the arrival of the Grim Reaper.

The dust and smoke dissipated.

The pretty boy stood on the spot, covered in dirt and grime, his hair scorched yellow, accompanied by the smell of barbecue.

His clothes were tattered, and some places were still smoking.

He was in an extremely wretched state.

Fear Value from Feng Lin +100.

Wang Dazhu stared at Yan Xiao, dumbfounded, and thought to himself, "Master is too cool!"

The feeling of that strike just now, with the mountains crumbling and the earth splitting, was truly too shocking.

"I concede," Yan Xiao said with a smile, cupping his hands.

"Hmph! I haven't even drawn my sword yet, you..."

Feng Lin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Yan Xiao with a cold sneer.

At this moment, he could no longer suppress the killing intent in his heart; he wanted to control his sword to kill Yan Xiao to appease the hatred in his heart.

But before he could finish speaking, Yan Xiao's fist had already struck his head.

One punch, two punches, three punches...

Strike first to gain the advantage.

Yan Xiao sneered inwardly, "I already know the nature of you geniuses; wouldn't I be a fool to give you another chance?"

"You brat, you're shameless!" Fear Value from Feng Lin +50.

Feng Lin's handsome face was beaten black and blue, nosebleed streaming down, and he looked at Yan Xiao indignantly, cursing.

"Take this—"

Another punch landed on Feng Lin's eye; Yan Xiao didn't give him a single chance.

Every punch landed solidly.

"Hiss..."

The Third Senior Brother and Fourth Junior Brother gasped, covering their eyes, not daring to look at the Second Senior Brother's miserable state.

This brat is fucking ruthless.

"Senior Sister, are you still not going to make a move?"

Qianyue tugged at the tall woman's sleeve, signaling her to step in and save the Second Senior Brother.

"Hit him... hit him... Master is mighty..."

Wang Dazhu shouted excitedly, clapping his hands in approval.

Qingxue also slowly stood up at this time, stroked the black cat in her arms, and said indifferently, "Thank you for this time."

The black cat blinked its eyes, collapsed into the little girl's arms, and slowly fell asleep.

In the arena, Feng Lin felt like dying; he was filled with grief and indignation.

Yan Xiao landed punch after punch, beating him until he had no power to fight back.

By now, Feng Lin had been beaten into a pig's head, uglier than a Phantom Demon.

"Enough!"

The tall woman let out a cold snort and flicked her jade hand, tapping Yan Xiao on the shoulder; Yan Xiao was instantly frozen in place, unable to move.

"Feng Lin hurt your girl, and now you have hurt him; the grudge is settled," the tall woman said slowly while helping Feng Lin up.

What powerful strength this woman has!

Yan Xiao felt immense pressure; facing this woman felt like facing an iceberg that had not melted for ten thousand years.

Letting out a long breath, Yan Xiao shouted to Wang Dazhu, "Dazhu, bring the mirror and let this handsome guy see the consequences of offending us."

"Oh, okay."

Wang Dazhu ran into the room, took out a bronze mirror, and placed it in front of the weak Feng Lin.

Seeing the face inside, which looked like a Zhutou Huan Yao, was this still his own handsome and dashing self?

Feng Lin let out a "cluck" sound and fainted dead away.

Fear Value from Feng Lin +800.

"Master, this brat was scared to death by himself," Dazhu laughed loudly.

Seeing the Fear Value in the background, Yan Xiao mocked, "He's almost scared to death."

The tall woman glared at Yan Xiao, then carried Feng Lin and stepped into the air, departing.

Qianyue Fairy hurriedly followed.

The Third Senior Brother and Fourth Junior Brother shook their heads, looked at Yan Xiao with sympathy, and sighed, "Little brother, you had better pray for your own luck."

"How so?" Yan Xiao asked in confusion.

"My Second Senior Brother is quite petty," the Fourth Junior Brother said in a low voice, then stepped on his sword and left.

Yan Xiao nodded; he could see that.

That Feng Lin was clearly a person of narrow mind.

The Third Senior Brother hesitated slightly and whispered, "The Second Senior Brother's grandfather is a Great Elder of Fengxue Silver City."

Yan Xiao was speechless; it turned out he had offended a 'big shot'.

However, Feng Lin's junior brothers didn't seem to care much for their senior brother either, otherwise, they wouldn't have warned him.

"Many thanks for the information," Yan Xiao said, cupping his hands in farewell.
