Chapter 105: Unparalleled Clearness, Save or Kill
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After confirming that Xiaozhi was safe and sound, Lin Yan set off for the depths of the Guangchuan Mountains the next morning.
Green branches covered the dense forest. Lin Yan turned into a blurry shadow and flashed through the lush leaves.
Along the way, he saw that the number of people entering the mountain had increased greatly. Obviously, they had heard of the unforeseen event in the depths and went to try their luck.
Lin Yan’s speed was extremely fast. Not long after, he saw a majestic green poisonous fog sea in the distance.
At first glance, it was as if a hole dozens of kilometers wide had opened in the sky. Green fog kept rolling down from the sky. Upon closer look, it was purely a rolling and surging green fog sea of clouds. It was like a tidal wave that spread for at least dozens of kilometers.
“It’s too big. Where did so much poisonous fog come from…”
A trace of deep shock flashed across Lin Yan’s eyes.
…..
He took a deep breath and continued forward.
“There are many forces stationed outside the poisonous fog. We have to be careful. It’s best if we can find some people to ask about the distribution of the surrounding forces.”
After walking for a while, Lin Yan’s ears twitched slightly. There was a commotion in the distance, so he slowed down and approached carefully.
In the quiet forest, the grayish-yellow dead leaves were as thick as a finger, and a large area was covered in splattered blood.
There were three corpses lying on the ground. Their chests swelled up and protruded backward, sinking into the withered leaves. Beside them were seven to eight trembling men and women in black who were half kneeling on the ground.
On the opposite side, a noble young master in a silver crown and green robe crossed his arms. His eyes were filled with frustration as he stared at a pear flower that stretched into the air. He seemed to be in a daze. He was the third disciple of the Void Fist Sect, Xiao Changsheng.
After a long while, he realized that no one around him had moved. He gave an impatient look. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go!”
There were a total of six men and women standing behind him. Two of them were wearing yellow robes and wooden crowns, and one of them was a man and the other a woman. The other four were all wearing gray robes and cardigans. They were originally standing like wooden statues.
Hearing his instructions, they instantly came to life.
The woman in the yellow robe and wooden crown on the left glanced sideways. “Didn’t you bring your ears? Get lost and tie them up!”
The other four male and female disciples in gray robes and rough cardigans were obsequious. They took out a hemp rope and walked up to tie up the black-robed men and women who were half kneeling on the ground.
Suddenly, a black-robed woman kneeling on the ground pulled out a cold silver awl from her hair and instantly stabbed it into the chest of an unsuspecting gray-robed disciple.
The gray-robed disciple screamed on the spot and fell to the ground, his face filled with fear.
“Hahaha! Father, I want to avenge you. Die, die!”
The expressions of the three gray-robed disciples beside her changed drastically. They kicked the black-robed woman down and mercilessly hit her head.
Among the men and women in black, several people’s expressions changed drastically, but they were already tied up and could not break free at all.
“Bastards! Stop!”
Unexpectedly, the man in the yellow robe and wooden crown behind him actually shouted anxiously. He went forward and punched and kicked, pushing away the three gray-robed disciples.
However, the woman in black was surrounded and punched several times. Moreover, they all hit vital parts. Blood spurted from her mouth and nose. It was obvious that she had already suffered internal injuries.
“A bunch of trash! How can we use them to test the antidote after you beat them up like this? Do you want to be an experiment subject yourself?!”
The three gray-robed disciples shivered and lowered their heads. They looked at the other gray-robed disciple who had died with remaining grievances and did not dare to speak.
The man in the yellow robe and wooden crown turned around and looked at Xiao Changsheng fawningly. “Third Senior Brother?”
Xiao Changsheng’s gaze was still on the pear flower. When he heard this voice, he turned his head and realized that they had not finished dealing with it. He immediately said angrily, “If she’s injured, just kill her! Why are you asking me about such a small matter? You’re an official disciple. Are you stupid?! Hurry up!”
The yellow-robed man with the wooden crown hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully, “Yes, yes!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and raised his leg, stepping fiercely on the chest of the woman in black who was on the ground.
This kick was from a Strength Realm martial artist. The woman could not withstand it at all. She spat out large mouthfuls of blood and quickly stopped moving.
“You can’t even do a small thing, and someone died! You bunch of servant disciples deserve to be servant disciples for the rest of your lives!”
After cursing for a while, he tied all the men and women in black together and chased them to his feet.
The man in the yellow robe and wooden crown walked to Xiao Changsheng’s side and said fawningly, “Third Senior Brother, we’ve captured six more experiment subjects. Let’s go back.”
Xiao Changsheng’s expression was gloomy. He ignored him and led the way out.
As he walked, he spat softly. “Let me do all the dirty work. Wu Yunhai, oh Wu Yunhai. One day, I’ll go back and replace you and become Eldest Senior Brother. At that time…”
The two yellow-robed men and women with wooden crowns trembled, but they pretended not to hear him.
The Void Fist Sect had a strict hierarchy. Labor disciples, official disciples, and personal disciples were clearly divided. It was strictly forbidden to offend their superiors.
However, Third Senior Brother was different. He had entered the Tough Realm at a young age and was the most talented disciple in the entire Void Fist Sect.
It was only a matter of time before he replaced Eldest Senior Brother Wu Yunhai.
They lowered their heads and followed. The gray-robed disciples behind them chased the black-robed men and women along.
Crack!
Suddenly, the crisp sound of a branch being stepped on sounded.
Xiao Changsheng suddenly stopped and scanned the area with his eyes. He looked at the dense forest dozens of feet away on the right.
A masked ordinary figure seemed to have barged in by accident and stepped out. “Sorry to disturb everyone, a…”
Lin Yan swept his gaze around and his eyes suddenly froze. He stopped what he was about to ask and focused on the group of tied-up men in black. He unexpectedly discovered a familiar face.
“Xu Hongchang?”
One of the men and women in black was in despair and grief. Their expressions were dark. When he heard his name, he suddenly looked up at Lin Yan in shock.
It was Xu Hongchang, a former disciple of the Dragon Gate Pavilion.
“S-Senior Brother Lin?!!”
Although Lin Yan was masked, he immediately recognized him from his voice and figure. He was overjoyed.
However, in an instant, fear filled his eyes as he shouted, “Senior Brother Lin, run! Run! This guy is at the Tough Realm. Run!”
Xiao Changsheng immediately looked displeased. “Shut up! What are you shouting for? What are you two waiting for? Isn’t one of them dead? Arrest him!” “Aye, aye!”
The two yellow-robed men and women with wooden crowns agreed respectfully and immediately ran towards Lin Yan. Their speed was not slow, and they clearly had the strength of the upper echelons of the Strength Realm.
Xiao Changsheng didn’t think much of it and turned to leave.
This person suddenly appeared and was discovered by him from afar. He was clearly a rookie.
With such little strength, he dared to come and save those people?
The man was a fool. There was no need for him to do anything.
However, when he thought of this series of troubles, he became even more depressed. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, “Wu Yunhai, I’m at the Tough Realm, but 1 have to be controlled by you as a servant…”
Behind him, Xu Hongchang’s desperate shout sounded again. “Senior Brother Lin, leave quickly! Hurry…”
Suddenly, his voice stopped abruptly. Just before it was about to reach the highest peak, it was suddenly cut off, making Xiao Changsheng even more unhappy.
“Trash, you can’t even do such a small thing. You…”
He cursed as he turned around.
However, halfway through, the second half of his sentence was stuck in his throat. Even his body suddenly stiffened and his eyes widened, as if he had seen something extremely unbelievable.
A pair of calm and overly bright eyes floated less than an arm’s length in front of him, staring straight at him coldly.
The reason why he could only see these eyes was because the owner of the eyes had covered half of his face, which should have been more than a hundred feet away a moment ago.
The air seemed to stagnate for a moment, until a breeze blew down a half-withered leaf.
Xiao Changsheng’s expression changed drastically just now. He suddenly exerted strength in his feet and exploded into a ball of dried branches and leaves as he retreated crazily.
He stared straight at that pair of eyes. After confirming that the man had been staying where he was, he heaved a sigh of relief and retreated more than a hundred feet.
The two yellow-robed official disciples and the three gray-robed labor disciples were all lying on the ground silently. The few black-robed captives standing were all dumbfounded and could not say a word.
“I’ve met a tough opponent…”
Xiao Changsheng had the intention to retreat.
On the other side, dead branches and broken leaves fell again, covering those hazy eyes.
In an instant.
Xiao Changsheng’s soul almost left his body, and his heart almost skipped a beat!
That pair of eyes appeared in front of him again like a ghost!
It was a complete sudden appearance. He actually did not see how the guy moved at all!
…..
In a short moment, Xiao Changsheng made the fastest decision in his life.
His right fist was raised to his eyebrows. All the force in his body followed the path of the Ethereal Fist and instantly condensed on his right fist. A layer of oppressive explosive force bloomed from his fist, forming a spherical air wave that blew away a circle of dead leaves.
“Unparalleled Clearness!”
The Ethereal Fist was a secret technique of the Void Fist Sect, so it naturally had an ultimate killing move.
Xiao Changsheng believed that one day, he would be able to replace Eldest Senior Brother Wu Yunhai. It was because he had already cultivated this unparalleled technique at a young age!
He punched out with his right fist, and the air wave immediately exploded. Withered leaves flew in the sky, and with the momentum of the punch, they blasted towards the owner of those eyes.
The owner of those eyes only raised his hand and casually threw a punch.
Crackle!
The air suddenly exploded, and the withered leaves that filled the sky were instantly cut into pieces by the huge force, squeezing and flying in all directions. The space between the two of them instantly became clear and bright.
The two fists collided, but there was no sound. The owner of the eyes opposite let out a soft “Eh?”
Only then did Xiao Changsheng reveal a ferocious expression. “You’ve been tricked!”
He felt a huge force coming from his right fist, as if his bones were about to shatter. He endured the pain and forcefully circulated his strength to transfer this force to his left arm that was already prepared!
Then, his right fist turned into a claw and grabbed that person’s fist tightly.
Unparalleled Clearness. This ultimate killing move looked like the right fist using force, but the true core was actually the left fist that no one paid attention to!
He used the emptiness of his right fist to receive the strength of his opponent’s fist. Then, he shifted the force to his left fist and punched out with his own strength.
This strike contained the strength of himself and his opponent at the same time. Its might was endless. This was an unparalleled killing move, and it was also the core force of the Ethereal Fist!
However, the force of the punch of the owner of the eye was too shocking. He forcefully transferred it to his left fist. The bones in Xiao Changsheng’s right arm, ribs, and waist creaked, and they were instantly filled with cracks of varying degrees.
He endured the pain and clenched his right claw tightly. His left fist, which was accumulating strength, drilled out with infinite strength. From the bottom up, it struck the chest of the person opposite him at a tricky angle!
“Go to hell!”
This punch was his life-and-death gamble. After punching out, he immediately wanted to escape. He could not stop for a moment!
However, the body of the owner of the eyes opposite him suddenly trembled, and an extremely terrifying power suddenly flashed from his body.
Xiao Changsheng only felt that in the center of his tightly clenched right hand, an unparalleled huge force suddenly exploded, actually forcefully breaking all five fingers of his right hand!
Five severed fingers shot out. With a loud bang, they actually embedded deeply into two ancient trees.
Before he could feel the excruciating pain of his broken finger, the fair fist flashed and appeared again. It punched out with a bang, hitting his left fist that was wrapped in terrifying strength.
Time seemed to have stopped for a moment.
An invincible force that seemed to come from the body of a wild beast instantly destroyed all of Xiao Changsheng’s strength and pushed his entire arm back. Even his shoulder joint was flipped 180 degrees.
The terrifying pain caused his mind to stop for a moment. Then, an extremely terrifying thought flashed through his remaining rationality.
Noble Realm!
Only those in the Noble Realm had such strength!
