Chapter 406: Chapter 406: No Holding Back@@novelbin@@
At this moment, Yan Wuqing and the others looked at Xia Liu with eyes filled with fear.
The move just now had dealt them a strong blow; it was definitely not of the Mysterious Rank—it was a Martial Arts Skill of the Earth Rank or above!
Only those with Earth-Rank Cultivation could truly understand the terror of an Earth-Rank Martial Arts Skill.
Only when directly confronting Energy Depleted to Mystic Yellow could one understand the horror of that move.
“Do you still have the ability to resist now?” Xia Liu slowly walked toward the five people. He was a person who would return respect with even greater respect.
If someone dared to offend him, he wouldn’t hold back!
“Senior, please spare us, we were presumptuous,” Shi Hentian immediately knelt on the ground as Xia Liu approached. Life was more precious than dignity. As a Loose Cultivator who had experienced too much in his youth, what was the harm in bowing his head? As long as he was alive, everything else was still possible.
“Senior, please have mercy!” Yan Wuqing and Qiu Wenfu also began to plead with their fists clenched.
“Hmph! What would have happened if I didn’t have the strength to defeat you? Isn’t it a bit late for you to beg for mercy now?” Xia Liu coldly snorted, showing no regard for the three people begging for mercy.
“Not late at all, because…”
Suddenly, Shi Hentian’s voice stopped, as he swiftly drew a dagger from his waist with his remaining Inner Qi, launching a desperate, all-out attack!
Yan Wuqing and Qiu Wenfu had noticed Shi Hentian’s suspicious behavior while he was begging for mercy.
The moment Shi Hentian made his move, the two of them also rose from the ground while increasing their energy, launching three deadly surprise attacks at Xia Liu, who was barely an arm’s distance away.
Facing this sudden change, Xia Liu had long been prepared.
Spiritual Energy surged, a ghostly silhouette flickered, and his raised hand struck Shi Hentian’s head.
Boom!
Blood splattered, and a cultivator at the Peak of Earth-Rank instantaneously perished!
The ghostly figure moved again, and Xia Liu skillfully grabbed the wrists of Yan Wuqing and Qiu Wenfu. Then, exerting force, he made each of them forcefully slap their own foreheads with their energy-condensed palms.
Thump! Thump!
Two dull sounds followed, and the space around them quieted down.
The current head of the Yan Family, the current elder of the Qiu Family, dead.
A chilling silence fell over the entire place as everyone stared blankly at Xia Liu.
No one had expected the young man to be so decisive, killing three Earth-Rank Peak martial artists without hesitation!
The other two bodyguards locked eyes and, bursting out the last of their Inner Qi, attacked Xia Liu once more.
But they were no more than the sick and weak at this moment; where could they be opponents for Xia Liu, who had already collapsed breathless before even making a move.
Within the battle ring, only Xia Liu stood, his gaze surveying the surroundings.
All martial artists trembled as his gaze swept over them.
They stood frozen on the spot, unable to take any steps, shaken to the core of their souls.
The sight of five Earth-Rank Peak martial artists slashed in half before them was a shock they would likely remember for a lifetime.
“Anyone who doesn’t want to die, get out!” Xia Liu’s eyes glowed with a blood-red tint as he looked around, his wild aura bursting forth.
Hearing Xia Liu’s words, the martial artists observing from a kilometer away immediately fled.
Xia Liu’s presence at this moment was incredibly intimidating for them, looking at him as if staring directly at an Asura.
Zhao Daxi and Lin Hui, who were closer to the battlefield, slumped to the ground, unable to take a step.
They wanted to leave but found their legs wouldn’t move!
This was actually because they were too scared, causing them to lose all strength and their bodies to become paralyzed.
“Since you wish to die, I will oblige you!” Seeing that Zhao Daxi and Lin Hui did not heed his command, Spiritual Energy around Xia Liu immediately erupted violently.
Zhao Daxi and Lin Hui gaped, unable to utter a word, their souls shook to the core, leaving them incapable of any movement.
Just as Xia Liu was about to make his move, an urgent voice echoed around, “Xia Liu, stop!”
Huh?
Drawn by the voice, Xia Liu slowly turned around to see Ouyang Lingtian running towards him with a box in his arms.
“Xia Liu, don’t kill them!”
Ouyang Lingtian was anxious, having already caused enough trouble by killing Yan Wuqing and Qiu Wenfu. If he killed Zhao Daxi and Lin Hui as well,
they would then have to face four martial artist families.
“Err…err… err… Lingtian, give me that stone, quick!” Xia Liu cried out urgently.
Although not understanding why Xia Liu was so anxious, Ouyang Lingtian still quickly opened the box.
After obtaining the stone, Xia Liu furiously activated the Five Elements Mantra, and streams of pure energy immediately began to flow from the stone.
After a short while, the blood-red hue in Xia Liu’s eyes completely faded, replaced by deep black pupils.
“Are you alright?” Seeing Xia Liu’s aura become calm, Ouyang Lingtian asked.
“Haha! What a great item!” Xia Liu didn’t rush to answer Ouyang Lingtian, instead, he stared at the jade-stone in his hands and burst into mad laughter.
Ouyang Lingtian felt slightly embarrassed. Had Xia Liu just done something? This look seemed a bit foolish…
“Lingtian, let’s head back first. After performing for so long, I’m starving,” said Xia Liu as he took the lead walking toward the vehicle.
His elation was known only to him, as was the power held within that stone!
Seeing Xia Liu and Ouyang Lingtian drive away along the riverside, Zhao Daxi and Lin Hui collapsed to the ground.
Their clothes were soaked through with cold sweat, not daring to imagine what would have happened if Ouyang Lingtian hadn’t been there; they surely would have met an irredeemable death.
…
On the empty space behind the broken bridge, a graceful figure stepped out of the car door slowly.
Compared to the chaotic dry grass around her, she was so prestigious and noble.
“Such a terrifying cultivator, failing in his cultivation breakthrough, Divine Sense damaged, he actually survived by sealing his own cultivation!”
“No! Judging by the killing intent just now, he’s possibly not only damaged in Divine Sense but demonized! What exactly happened to him, could it be due to mistakenly swallowing Spirit Grass?”
Watching the car gradually disappearing into the distance, Ye Xuan’s expression began to change slowly.
…
That night, Xia Liu walked out of his room, his spirit appearing quite good.
“Are you fully recovered?” Ouyang Lingtian asked eagerly.
When they had returned from the suburbs, Xia Liu had plunged straight into his room, and it had been five hours since; finally, he emerged.
“Mm, nearly,” Xia Liu replied.
“So, do you still need this Spirit Stabilizing Needle?” Pointing to the sharp golden object on the table, Ouyang Lingtian asked with a bitter expression.
“No need for that anymore, it’s uncomfortable having a piece of metal stuck in your body,” Xia Liu said, waving his hand dismissively.
If it had been before, he would have instantly had the Spirit Stabilizing Needle put back in its place without a second thought.
In those five hours, he had already confirmed that his injuries had greatly improved and that he no longer needed the Spirit Stabilizing Needle to suppress his cultivation.
“Is it because of that stone?” Ouyang Lingtian didn’t know what had happened to Xia Liu, but he could guess that nobody would willingly have such a thing stuck in their acupuncture point for no reason.
“Mm, that stone contains an extremely pure Spiritual Energy. I feel that with just a few more, I might even be able to advance in rank!”
