231 Chapter 230: Divine Origin Spiri (1/2)

Ji Liu's head flew from his neck and landed next to the horrified Cloud Sky Mountain martial artists, who couldn't believe that the two Stones had been killed so easily and callously. In a matter of seconds, at that.

”Holy heavens…” Tong Xue murmured, his eyes bulging as sweat poured down his face. It wasn't just him – all the members and subordinates of the Martial Arts Alliance were watching the murder unfold in speechless horror.

”…”

Zi Da Ji swallowed nervously as she studied me. She was most likely thinking to herself that she had never taught me such a horrifying martial arts.

”W…whoa!”

The Cloud Sky Mountain martial artists flinched and jumped back when Ji Liu's head bounced and rolled in front of them. A few dozen meters away, his headless body flopped around for a few moments, as if not realizing that it was missing its head, before falling like a puppet whose strings were suddenly cut.

”…Fei Wu…”

Lian Rou was crying again, now trying to treat Tang Qi Hong's corpse, but unable to tear her eyes away from me.

”Why have you turned into a monster?”

”Has he lost his sanity?” Tong Xue whispered as he unconsciously took a step back.

”Tong Xue!” Lian Rou shouted as she attempted to patch the hole in Tang Qi Hong's chest. ”Calm Fei Wu down! Bring him back before it's too late!”

Tong Xue shook his head as he watched me, stunned.

”You want me to calm him down?” he asked nervously. He could see the malicious, murderous aura shrouding around me.

Taking a deep breath, he nodded. Maybe he'll listen to my voice, he thought. Since we're friends and all.

Forcing himself not to shiver, he took a step forward, trying to sound relaxed.

”Fei Wu! Snap out of it! At this rate, you'll end up hurting both allies and enemies! Cool off and make sure you differentiate between who to attack and who not to attack!”

He didn't get to continue. Suddenly, a sharp blade-like qi lanced toward him, forcing him to dodge to the side.

”Whoa!”

Doing a cartwheel, he flipped himself over and landed a few meters away, heaving. Lowering his stinging arm, he glared at me.

”Fei Wu, you bastard!” he yelled. ”What the hell do you think you are doing…?”

He then trailed off when he caught sight of my bloodshot, demonic eyes. I was glaring at him intensely, warning him not to come near me.

Tong Xue flinched and gritted his teeth, cold sweat pouring down his face.

”What the hell…this guy…?”

He relaxed a little when I turned away from him, wiping the perspiration from his forehead with his trembling arm.

”I don't think anything is going to get through to him.”

”Good! Very good!”

This time, it was Jiu Liu Yu who was laughing hysterically. She had snapped out of her stupor and had withdrawn her useless banners. Overcoming the overwhelming fear that had gripped her earlier, she conjured the last vestiges of her qi to attack me.

”Nine Yin Demonic Claws!” she screeched and lunged at me. ”I don't care if you've transformed into a monster! I'll still kill you!”

I stepped to the side, allowing her right arm to thrust past me. Grabbing it, I then smashed a fist into her elbow. Her bone snapped with a thunderous cruch.

”AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

Jiu Liu Yu screeched in pain, but I ignored her flailing around. Instead, I tightened my grip and ripped her arm out of her socket. A geyser of blood splashed onto me and Jiu Liu Yu howled as she crashed onto the ground.

”You…you bastard!” she shrieked. Bending her knees, she propelled herself at me and lashed out with her remaining arm. Her Nine Yin Demonic Claws glowed ominously as they stabbed toward my chest, but I spun away while deflecting her arm to the side.

Then I punched her in the shoulder with so much force that bone and flesh exploded into shards. Jiu Liu Yu's remaining arm literally disintegrated and she stumbled back with an agonized scream, bereft of both her hands.

Yet it wasn't enough. It was far from enough. After all the crimes, atrocities and murders she had committed, losing just her arms wasn't enough to make her pay for everything she had done to my sect. To Tang Qi Hong.

I kicked her in her stomach, my single strike shattering her dantian or qi center. Jiu Liu Yu was sent hurtling several dozen meters away, cartwheeling head over heels before slamming into the ground and carving a crater into the concrete. She coughed and foamed, her eyes rolling in their sockets, and lay sprawled.

Without both her arms, she wasn't able to pull herself back to her feet.

”You think you are allowed to pass out?”

My foot connected with her skull, causing her to jerk awake. She let out another horrendous screech, her mind snapping back into consciousness. Not only was she feeling the agonizing loss of both of her arms, she could feel the excruciating pain that spread through her abdomen. Unable to circulate her qi or control the flow of her qi, Jiu Liu Yu was driven to despair when she realized that I had just crippled her martial arts.

”No…” she wept. ”You can't do this to me, you monster! You can't…!”

”I haven't even started,” I replied and stabbed her in the head with my Azure Lotus Sword.

Everyone thought I had killed her, but they realized how wrong they were when, after I yanked my sword from Jiu Liu Yu's head, she began wailing and screaming. Flailing about helplessly on the ground, her body slowly turned into ice.

She continued to writhe and scream in agony as frosty qi invaded her body, turning her insides into ice. Frozen fragments ruptured her body from the inside out, her blood freezing and piercing through her blood vessels and soft tissue, her internal organs ripped apart slowly by the gradually freezing ice lined within her cells.

Within minutes, her entire body was transmuted into ice, Jiu Liu Yu turning into nothing more than an armless ice statue. Staring at her in disgust, I then stomped on her body, shattering her into countless fragments.

Then I turned around to stare at the flinching Cloud Sky Mountain Sect members, who just happened to be the nearest enemies. They immediately withdrew, trying to drag the near catatonic Jiang Yuan away.

Their efforts were futile. I leaped over them, crushing about ten of them with a single Seismic Step, while continuing my inexorable advance toward the twitching Jiang Yuan and his dwindling number of subordinates.

”Good kills! Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Above, Tian Yu Di applauded me. His excited cackles echoed throughout every martial artist present.

”As expected of Sect Leader! You have truly restored the reputation of our Heaven and Earth Sect! More! Kill more of the fucking Martial Arts Alliance!”

”Good Heavens…”

”That kid is a monster…”

”Who the hell is he?! Why haven't I heard of him before?”

”He's the same guy who invented those Spirit Bombs from earlier, isn't he?!”

”Was Nine-Tailed Fox Sect always hiding such a monster?!”

”We've made a mistake! This is our mistake!”

”RUN!”

The thirteen sects were panicking and floundering, trying to escape my notice, having seen how I had painfully killed Jiu Liu Yu and decimated the remnants of Cloud Sky Mountain by myself. While they were doing so, Nine-Tailed Fox Sect watched solemnly.

”We have forced everything onto Fei Wu…” Zi Shou De sighed. ”We've placed too much of a burden on that child's shoulders.”

”Fei Wu! Stop it!” Tong Xue was pleading, to no avail.

”W…what have we done?” Lian Rou whispered.

However, not all Nine-Tailed Fox Sect members were horrified.

”The heavens have finally delivered justice on our behalf!” Hai Rong shouted in delight, despite the blood trickling from her mouth. ”Punish those invaders!”

”…our sect may yet survive.” Lang Xie nodded in icy approval.

”Sister!”

Halfway up the Flame Volcano and peering from the windows of the shelter, Ling Yu Xuan was gaping as she watched the dreadful sight and massare developing across the plaza. She had especially witnessed the brutal murder of Jiu Liu Yu, and her agonizing demise at my hands.

”M…Maser has died…” Ling Yu Xuan sobbed.

There was no trace of Jiu Liu Yu left. She had been completely frozen and then shattered into countless icy fragments that melted into water atop the plaza. There wasn't even a single drop of blood left.

Ling Yu Mei leaned against the window, staring blankly at the carnage. She realized just how helpless she was to stop all of this, to prevent the death of her master.

The surviving martial artists of Cloud Sky Mountain took up the feeble Jiang Yuan by each of his arm and tried to flee. If I was still sane, I would have been amused by the fact that they were running out of Nine-Tailed Fox Sect's gate more quickly than when they first trespassed our area. That was what happened when you start running for your life, huh?

Jiang Yuan just allowed his subordinates to heft him away like baggage. He was so frightened that his legs had become like jelly and he could no longer run on his own. The coward…acting so high and mighty when he came stomping into our sect, but when the tables were turned, he started falling apart from fright.

Bullies. That was what they were. Thinking they could gang up and bully a sect less numoerus than them so that they could extort our wealth and resources, but when they realized they were completely outmatched, they didn't even have the strength to run away with their tails between their legs. Utterly pathetic.

I was going to have that bastard's head.

However, before I could close the distance with a foot technique, three people threw themselves at me, knocking me out of the way. Despite the overwhelming dread they felt – evident from their ghostly pallor and amount of cold sweat beading on their faces – the three men in suits and sunglasses (I seriously have no idea why they were wearing sunglasses at this time of the night) knocked me aside and then spread out to surround me.

They formed a triangle, each of them locking any path I had of moving past them to pursue Jiang Yuan.

”The three holy protectors from the Heavenly Way Sect…” one of the Cloud Sky Mountain subordinates who was holding up Jiang Yuan whispered reverently.

”They…blocked him?” another martial artist from the Dark Asura Sect gasped. ”When even the Two Stones of Cloud Sky Mountain couldn't?”

”Who are those guys?” another one asked.

”Those three are from the Five Holy Guardians of Heavenly Way Sect,” Song Si Yuan said from above. ”I didn't expect them to show up here.”

”The Five Holy Guardians…you mean, those martial protectors who prop up Heavenly Way Sect?” the Dark Asura Sect member glanced up at Song Si Yuan. ”Does that mean Heavenly Way Sect has decided to commit?”

”We have indeed,” Shen Tian Yi confirmed gravely.

”…”
