Chapter 62 - You Asked for a Beating, so We Gave It to You (1/2)

Jiang Xiaofan could sense that Xia Chen wasn’t just some ordinary cultivator. Trusting deeply in his instinct, he could feel a powerful aura coming from Xia Chen, and those who emitted this feeling of great pressure definitely had cultivation above the Realm of Dust.

*Fwoosh*

Qin Luo was very nimble. In an instant, he appeared in front of Xia Chen and blocked his attack while simultaneously raising his right hand to strike at him.

*Boom*

Another powerful aura emanated across the battlefield. Not only were Xia Chen and the other men shocked, but even Jiang Xiaofan was as well. Indeed, Qin Luo indeed lived up to his status as the core disciple of the Heavenly Cloud Peak. This was Qin Luo’s first display of might before Jiang Xiaofan, and he was truly strong. Xia Chen was forced backward by Qin Luo’s qi.

Jiang Xiaofan leisurely stepped to the front and crooked his finger at the other five. “Everyone, come on. Let’s take a walk. I’ll demonstrate to you, for free, what it means to bear your consequences.”

Their faces immediately darkened. The man named Xia Yuan got back up and stood next to his peers. His expression was ice-cold as he stared daggers at Jiang Xiaofan, and his spiritual energy fluctuated violently.

Jiang Xiaofan then turned to look at the green-robed girl to the back and calmly stated, “Although you sicken me greatly, I normally don’t like to hit women. Therefore, it’s better that you stay away from this fight as far as possible.”

To tell the truth, that green-robed girl’s attitude was indeed very terrible. Jiang Xiaofan couldn’t stand people like her, but he didn’t have the heart to hit women either. As for Liu Shi, that was her own fault because she had insulted Ye Yuanxue in front of him. That was unforgivable. Giving her two slaps was already considered merciful.

The green-robed girl’s face was completely frosted over. She commanded them, “Make him disappear! The faster, the better!”

Even without the green-robed girl’s order, Xia Yuan and the three others had already surrounded Jiang Xiaofan. Each one of their expressions looked unsightly and very cold. They spoke little and directly attacked him at once.

Xia Yuan raised his hand, and the Arctic saber appeared in his hand. Ringing sounds were created as the saber sliced through the air and hacked downward at Jiang Xiaofan’s neck. The person next to Xia Yuan was even more ferocious. He raised his hand and struck at Jiang Xiaofan with full force.

Jiang Xiaofan was quite surprised. After seeing the auras that they had emanated, these people were quite skilled.

Nevertheless, he wasn’t too overly concerned. These people had cultivation at the third to fifth heaven Realm of Dust, but they didn’t pose too much of a threat to him. At the very least, he didn’t feel a mountain of pressure on him.

*Swoosh*

He vanished from his spot and zipped ahead like a flash of lightning, leaving illusory shadows in his wake. All of a sudden, he appeared in front of a young man, raised his silver-colored palm, and slapped down.

*Bang*

The man was instantly sent flying. His complexion paled to a deathly white, and his entire right arm tingled numbingly.

Jiang Xiaofan smirked. He didn’t use his full strength in this attack. It wasn’t that he wanted to show any mercy to these people. That was impossible. He just wanted to gauge the extent of their capabilities.

The results astounded him. Their combat powers were quite strong, and their body strengths were satisfactory. Although they could never be compared to him, they were undoubtedly better than other Realm of Dust cultivators.

*Pff pff*

Just when Xia Yuan’s Arctic Saber hacked at him again, another person’s longsword aimed for the center between his brows. However, he didn’t dodge them. He moved slightly and raised a fist at the other person.

*Bang*

This was also an experimental punch. Jiang Xiaofan realized that this person wasn’t as weak as he had imagined him to be.

Xia Yuan and the person with the longsword sneered at him. In their eyes, Jiang Xiaofan had already completely exposed himself within their attack range, and their saber and sword had already cut off all possible escape routes. With a swing of their respective weapons, Jiang Xiaofan would unquestionably die.

In the next moment, something unexpected happened. The attacks of the saber and sword were abruptly stopped short of one inch from piercing and slicing Jiang Xiaofan’s body. The weapons were unable to advance any farther as if they were trapped in thick mud.

Jiang Xiaofan remained unperturbed. Because his cultivation was now at the Realm of Dust, the silver-colored brass piece had helped him activate his space spirit channeling. Although he could not attack with it, his spirit channeling served as a very good defensive technique.

In addition, he had a feeling that if he continued to level up his cultivation, the power of his spirit channeling would grow stronger as well. He believed that he would one day grasp the essence of space spirit channeling and master the infinite spatial dimension.

Meanwhile, Xia Yuan and the man with the longsword revealed a hint of shock on their faces. The other two people cornered Jiang Xiaofan and attacked him from the left and right. To their dismay, all four of them were stopped one inch short of cutting down Jiang Xiaofan, just like before.

“What are you guys doing?! Hurry up and eliminate him!” Dissatisfied by their performance, the green-robed girl hollered at the four.

Jiang Xiaofan glanced at her and wryly smiled. He suddenly moved with his peerless Shadow Steps. Now that he was a Realm of Dust cultivator, very few people could match his speed for speed. The only exceptions were those with cultivations at or above the realm of Phantom Saint.

*Bang*

The first person was knocked flying backward. This time, Jiang Xiaofan showed no mercy and used nearly seventy percent of his power to send that person flying several meters outward. His opponent’s complexion immediately paled as he groaned in pain.

With a right sweep of his leg, Jiang Xiaofan knocked the second person flying backward. The young man then crashed into a nearby boulder, and a large crack appeared on the boulder’s surface. Blood trickled down his mouth. It was frightening to think about just how much force had been packed into that kick.

Xia Yuan and the one wielding a longsword stepped back. They had witnessed just how terrifying Jiang Xiaofan’s body strength was. Engaging in close combat was not a wise choice at all. They needed to distance themselves!
