Li Heng's face was pale as he dipped his index finger into the blood at the corner of his mouth, narrowing his eyes slightly. "You are indeed strong, but you've angered me. You will pay the price for that."
Before Li Heng could finish his words, he vanished like the wind, a blur darting past the crowd and brushing closely by Long Xiao Wu. It was almost imperceptible, only slightly slower than the phantom Long Xiao Wu had unleashed in his fury. A streak of blood appeared on Long Xiao Wu's cheek; in his rage, he had activated a speed he was least proficient in to save Zhao Yang. At that moment, he could not control this newfound speed, and there was no way to evade. Almost immediately, another figure zipped past him. Long Xiao Wu threw a punch at the shadow but struck nothing but air, only to feel a sharp pain as he was cut again by Dao Injury.
Li Heng understood that close combat was not Long Xiao Wu's forte, so he decided to use his superior agility to wear Long Xiao Wu down relentlessly.
The dojo was becoming increasingly crowded with new disciples, including several from the previous cohort who had reached the eighth and ninth levels of Qi Refinement Stage. No one expected Li Heng to be this powerful, utilizing his wind attribute to exhaust Long Xiao Wu.
"Li Heng truly lives up to his gold wind attribute," someone remarked. "Although having two attributes has slowed down his cultivation speed, the combination of offensive power and evasive agility makes him hard to beat. I doubt anyone at his level can match him!"
"That's right! That fat guy has released the seal on his cultivation and is now at the seventh level of Qi Refinement Stage. His defense is astonishing; if he manages to catch Li Heng off guard, it might not be an easy win for Li Heng," another voice chimed in.
Meanwhile, an enraged Long Xiao Wu was like a headless fly, unable to catch Li Heng's elusive figure. He had been slashed three or five times and was filled with frustration; his hands trembled with anger as he took off a large gold chain from around his neck and clenched it tightly in his fist. "You’re forcing me to kill you."
Just as he was about to act, Zhao Yang stopped him. After several hours of frantically absorbing Chaos True Qi, Zhao Yang had finally converted all of his Spirit Energy and reached the fifth level of Qi Refinement Stage. If anyone found out that he had just entered the fourth level that morning and advanced to the fifth by afternoon, it would surely shock them. However, it would be hard to find someone else who could consume Spirit Qi Pills like candy; even if they did find someone, they wouldn't be as extravagant as Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang exhaled slowly and said, "Enough."
Just two words spoken softly sent a shiver through those nearby, as if the king of hell had awakened and begun to scrutinize all living beings.
As Li Heng charged toward Long Xiao Wu again, preparing to slice open his carotid artery and watch him bleed out painfully on the ground, he didn't believe that Long Xiao Wu could be the inner sect elder's nephew. Even if he were, so what? Dozens had been crippled; when it came time for explanations, he would simply claim that Long Xiao Wu had gone mad and attacked him first.
However, just seven or eight steps away from Long Xiao Wu, the figure of Zhao Yang—who had been dazed by a blow from an Azure Stone Tablet—suddenly vanished. It wasn’t just a matter of speed; he seemed to have disappeared into thin air!
Then Li Heng felt a sudden tightness around his throat as someone grabbed him. Still in motion from running at high speed, his neck became the pivot point for external force; thus, his body continued moving forward while he fell flat in mid-air. A loud crash followed as his head slammed against the dojo's stone floor.
The crowd erupted in astonishment, stunned by the scene before them. Was this so-called useless caretaker truly that formidable?
Zhao Yang pressed Li Heng's head into the ground, then knelt beside him and delivered three punches, driving Li Heng's entire head into a pit in the earth, leaving only his neck exposed. Zhao Yang stared at Li Heng and asked, "Why did you hit me?"
Li Heng, blood splattering everywhere, had his head buried deep in the pit and could only barely open his eyes to catch a glimpse of Zhao Yang. He reached out a bloodied hand, trembling as he picked up a broken stone slab nearby and lightly tapped it against Zhao Yang's head to express his dissatisfaction and anger.
Zhao Yang cursed under his breath and aimed three more punches at Li Heng's head, knowing that each of his punches carried the weight of ten thousand pounds. A normal person would have been killed instantly. This scene suddenly reminded him of a moment from a movie he had seen in his past life, prompting Zhao Yang to hold back considerably. Fortunately, Li Heng possessed a dual-element Spiritual Root with a metallic attribute, giving him much greater strength in both bones and flesh than other cultivators. Thus, he had not yet been killed.
Zhao Yang lifted the barely conscious Li Heng before him and, in front of the crowd, unleashed a furious punch that shattered Li Heng's skull into a bloody mess. The onlookers were horrified; who would dare to openly murder a fellow disciple in broad daylight?
The abrupt scene startled Long Xiao Wu as well. He had thought Zhao Yang was merely beating Li Heng for venting his anger but was taken aback to see brain matter splattered everywhere, making him feel nauseous.
"Wow, isn't he supposed to be a metallic cultivator? How fragile; I must have hit too hard," Zhao Yang thought to himself.
On the clouds above, the Master of All Spirits frowned and said, "This child has a vicious method; he dares to openly slaughter his fellow disciples. If this continues, he may become addicted to killing."
The elder shrouded in white mist replied, "No matter. If that Chubby is related to this person, then Zhao Yang is likely just a servant who has accompanied him since childhood. Losing one useless disciple is no great loss; our Myriad Spirit Sect's Outer Sect is not lacking in ordinary disciples. The true disciples are all in the Inner Sect."
After saying this, the White Mist Elder's lips twitched slightly as he watched Zhao Yang push through the crowd towards the Dojo where the Leader Youth had previously boasted about killing him. Zhao Yang tore the Leader Youth's head apart with his bare hands.
"Since I've killed one already, I might as well kill another," Zhao Yang thought. He scanned the surrounding cultivators and shouted loudly, "If you mess with my brother again, you'll be in trouble! From today on, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, the Barbecue Restaurant will be closed; on Tuesdays and Thursdays, it will operate intermittently; Sundays will be off for everyone. However, your Spiritual Pills must still be submitted on time. If you're late by even one day, you'll owe an extra pill as protection money! Otherwise, your fate will be just like theirs!"
After pointing at the wailing crowd and the two corpses on the ground, Zhao Yang walked out of the Dojo. He had already mastered the Refining Qi chapter of the Universal Heart Sutra and saw no reason to linger any longer.
As Zhao Yang was about to leave the Dojo, a group of young men suddenly blocked his way. The leader, a Cloud Bun Youth who appeared to be around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, said, "Oh~ Boss Zhao is really in high spirits. I wonder if the words you just spoke were directed at us Brothers?"
Zhao Yang looked up at them and noticed that they were clearly older than the new disciples. He knew that the previous batch of disciples were all at least at the Qi Refinement Stage, level eight. There were nine of them in total, and aside from the Outer Sect's top disciple, Shiyunsheng, all the Outer Sect Experts had gathered. At that moment, he was already suffering from significant internal injuries and it wasn't wise to engage in a fight. So he smiled and said, "Seniors, you must be looking down on your junior. In the future, both my brother and I will still have to rely on your care. The Barbecue Restaurant is open for you all free of charge, and there will always be someone available to serve you."
