"This..."
"How powerful..."
Hearing this voice and seeing the huge pit in front of them, everyone was so scared that their faces turned pale. They couldn't say a word.
Even though Sect Leader Bai wasn't the strongest among them, he wasn't the weakest either. This was especially so in terms of speed. Even Sect Leader Luo Huang would have to travel several hundred kilometers to catch up to him!
But... despite his incredible speed, he was killed in less than half a breath...
Especially so for Yang shi, who didn't move at all. Not only did he kill Sect Leader Bai, he even created such a massive crater in the ground...
Looking at the might of this move, not to mention Sect Leader Bai, even if all of them were to join forces, they wouldn't be able to kill him!
Powerful!
Unimaginable!
Fearsome!
Everyone couldn't stop trembling in fear from the bottom of their hearts.
When they heard Yang shi speak politely, they had relaxed a little. Only at this moment did they realize that... even though they were half 5-star master teachers, in the eyes of the other party, they were nothing more than ants!
Putting aside a half 5-star master teacher, even if he were to destroy the entire Miryu Empire, Mingshi Tang headquarters wouldn't say a word.
Rules were meant for the weak!
True experts only believed in their fists. As long as they possessed strength, no one would be able to do anything to them. Rules and regulations were all bullsh * t.
Take this 8-star master teacher for example. It was one thing for him to listen to his words, but if he didn't, he would be killed on the spot. Who would dare to refute him?
Mingshi Tang couldn't possibly judge an 8-star master teacher for an ant who wasn't even a 5-star master teacher. Besides... this ant had already violated the rules by disobeying the words of a high-ranked master teacher!
The dignity of a master teacher couldn't be sullied.
Every word of an 8-star master teacher was like an imperial edict. If they ordered you to die, you had to die. Yet, you actually dared to escape. Putting aside killing you, even if you were to be exterminated... If news of this were to spread, no one would feel the slightest bit of sympathy for you.
If master teachers didn't even have this bit of authority and standing, how could they possibly impart their knowledge to the world?
"Is that... a battle technique or an artifact?"
Pavilion Master Kang, Alliance Head Zhao, and the others also shuddered. Staring at the massive crater and Sect Leader Bai, their lips twitched.
The speed at which Yang shi had made his move was simply too fast. Even with their eye of discernment, they were unable to see how the other party had made his move.
Vaguely, Zhang Xuan could vaguely see a golden book materializing in the air and smashing right toward Zhang Xuan. However, he was unable to tell whether it was a golden book or not.
After all, he had seen people using swords, spears, and even the more unorthodox ones, such as meteor hammers, nine-section whips, and crocodile shears... But he had never heard of anyone using a book as a weapon!
This thing... No matter how thick it was, it was only as thick as a brick. Furthermore, it was extremely soft. Against the powerful physical body of a Transcendent Mortal, it was completely ineffective. How could it possibly kill someone?
If it was really a book, to be able to crush a Consonant Spirit realm advanced stage expert to death on the spot, not even allowing him to retaliate at all, and to create so many deep pits in the ground... Just how powerful must the book be?
No matter which one it was, it was not something that low-level fellows like them could easily figure out!
"This is …"
Everyone was shocked to see Yang shi killing Sect Leader Bai in a single move. Only Wang Ying's body trembled slightly.
She had a weak personality, and she didn't stand out among the many disciples. However, she was extremely observant, and she was never careless in her actions. This was also the reason why she was able to stand out despite her lack of talent.
This was because she had a deeper understanding of the cultivation technique that Zhang Shi had imparted to her.
In the eyes of Zheng Yang, Sun Qiang, and the others, Zhang Shi had also executed this move back then. As the teacher of their teacher, it wasn't surprising for Yang shi to be able to execute it as well.
But... she could clearly see that this move was exactly the same as when Zhang Shi executed it back then, just that it was much faster!
That day, Lu Chong sacrificed his life to save her teacher, and in a fit of rage, Zhang Shi tossed out a golden book and smashed the latter into meat paste. Then, he killed Lin Long as well... The method that he used was identical to the one before her.
Even if it was an inheritance between a teacher and a student, the method that each person executed was different, and it was impossible to replicate it.
It was just like how it was impossible for the students of a chef to cook the same dish, but the taste of the dish was different.
Given how powerful Yang shi was, there was only one possibility for it to be identical to Zhang shi's... and that was that the both of them were the same person!
Wang Ying couldn't help but turn to look at Yang shi, and with just a single glance, she couldn't help but cover her mouth in astonishment.
The Yang shi in the sky was completely different from Zhang Shi, and their clothes were also different. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have been able to tell anything, but... she could clearly see that there was a faint gray mark on Yang shi's lower jaw!
Back then, in the soul oracle tomb, when Mo Hunsheng grabbed Zhang Shi by the neck, there was a gray mark on it. Even though it had been two months since then, and the gray mark had already faded to the point that it was almost indiscernible, it could still be seen clearly. Just a while ago, when she met Zhang Shi, she also saw...
And the mark on Zhang Shi was exactly the same as the one on Yang shi's lower jaw!
Both Zhang Shi and Yang shi had the same mark, and for them to execute the same method to kill the enemy...
Furthermore... it seemed that when Yang shi appeared, Zhang Shi hadn't appeared at all. In other words, the two of them had never appeared at the same time!
Could it be that...
Yang shi was Zhang Shi?
It wasn't impossible for such a thing to happen. Back then, Zhang Shi had impersonated Liu shi, and none of them had been able to tell the difference.
Wang Ying's heart jolted in shock, and her body swayed weakly.
...
No one noticed the trembling of a mere disciple. Even if they did, they would have thought that it was due to Yang shi's incredible means.
At this moment, everyone's faces were drained of all color, and they didn't dare to utter a single word.
"I was blinded by greed. After hearing Kong Shi's handwritten letter, I lost the sense of propriety that a master teacher should have. Even if I die today, I deserve it! "
Looking at Sect Leader Bai whose corpse was nowhere to be found, Sect Leader Luo Huang's eyes were filled with despair.
Since Yang shi could make a move on Sect Leader Bai, he could easily make a move on him as well. Rather than being killed by the other party, he might as well commit suicide.
Gritting his teeth, he raised his head and said with a determined gaze, "I hope that Yang shi won't make things difficult for my Fleeting Cloud Sect and my student after I commit suicide. After all, they are innocent..."
It wasn't a big deal for him to die alone. As long as the Fleeting Cloud Sect remained standing, its foundation wouldn't be shaken.
What he was afraid of was that the other party might destroy the Fleeting Cloud Sect. If that happened, it would be too late for regrets.
"Teacher..."
Hearing that his teacher was pleading for them despite his imminent death, Luo Xuan panicked.
Back then, he was severely injured by the Demon Cinque Beast, and after a few days of recuperation, he had recovered from his injuries. Thus, he had followed along as well. He didn't expect to witness such a shocking sight, and on top of that, he had personally witnessed a person who could possibly be an 8-star master teacher!
"There's no need to say anymore. After my death, let Elder Wang inherit the position of the sect leader..."
Knowing that he was doomed, Sect Leader Luo Huang remained calm. He waved his hands and passed down his final instructions.
"Teacher..."
Seeing that the other party was on the verge of committing suicide, Luo Huang gritted his teeth and stepped forward. "Yang shi, since we can leave after paying the spirit stones, can our Fleeting Cloud Sect pay a hundred middle-tier spirit stones... in exchange for teacher's life?"
"What nonsense are you spouting..."
Hearing his disciple say such words, Sect Leader Luo Huang shook his head.
The other party was an 8-star master teacher. The reason why he spoke up previously was to spare the lives of the world and to spare Mingshi Tang's life... Do you really think that a powerful expert like him would be interested in a few middle-tier spirit stones?
Putting aside middle-tier spirit stones, even high-tier or pinnacle spirit stones might not be enough to tempt him!
You want to use spirit stones to exchange for my life... How is that possible!
The words of an 8-star master teacher were absolute. Even if a Seven Star master teacher were to plead on his behalf, it would still be futile. To use some useless spirit stones...
If this matter could be settled that easily, Sect Leader Bai wouldn't have risked his life and ended up being reduced to meat paste.
Just as he was about to dissuade his student from acting childishly at this crucial moment, the figure in the sky said calmly, "150 middle-tier spirit stones, and I can spare his life!"
"What?"
Sect Leader Luo Huang's body swayed. He thought that he had heard wrongly.
My life... is only worth 150 middle-tier spirit stones?
Middle-tier spirit stones might be valuable, but given the Fleeting Cloud Sect's background, it was still within their means to fork it out.
After all, as the champion of the Master Teacher Tournament so many times, just the reward itself was already a fearsome sum. On top of that, half 5-star master teacher long-range Tutelage Jade Tokens were worth a fortune as well...
Middle-tier spirit stones might be valuable, but compared to his life, it was far from enough!
But... was the exchange done just like that?
"Why? You don't have it? If you don't have it, just kill yourself! "
Just as he was in disbelief, Yang shi's displeased voice sounded in the sky.
"Yes, yes..."
Only at this moment did he confirm that it was true. How could he dare to hesitate any longer? With a flick of his wrist, a pile of middle-tier spirit stones appeared before the crowd. The spiritual energy in the surroundings surged like a majestic ocean.
150 middle-tier spirit stones, not a single one more, not a single one less.
"Un!"
In the sky, Yang shi nodded his head in satisfaction. With a wave of his hand, the middle-tier spirit stones flew into his storage ring before turning to Luo Huang.
"There's no need for you to kill yourself now. Hand over the spirit stones of the others and scram!"
"Yes..."
Gathering the crowd of Fleeting Cloud Sect, Sect Leader Luo Huang handed over the quota of 20 middle-tier spirit stones each before rushing out.
Seeing that Yang shi had no intention of killing them, he heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he glanced at the massive pit not too far away, and a bizarre expression appeared on his face.
Cough cough, Sect Leader Bai's death was too unjust...
If only he knew that spirit stones could be used to buy his life, he would have never fled!
Now, he was reduced to meat paste on the spot, and he wouldn't even know how he died...
For a sect leader to be worth 150 middle-tier spirit stones, that was even lower than a Consonant Spirit realm spirit beast... What in the world was this!
However, from this, it could be seen that Yang shi truly didn't care about their lives!
That's right, what does it matter to him whether an ant-like person lives or dies?
It was just like how he didn't care about the life and death of a 1-star master teacher.
"Inform all of our disciples to not offend Zhang Shi, his students, or even anyone in Myriad Kingdom City!"
After leaving the area, Sect Leader Luo Huang heaved a sigh of relief. He turned to his disciple, Luo Xuan, and said, "Yang shi, not only can we not afford to offend him, even the Miryu Empire and Hongyuan Empire can't afford to offend him... Putting aside his identity, just based on his cultivation... Within the borders of a Conferred Empire..."
"Invincible!"
(Adding an update for the 33rd alliance leader of this book, JcGoh.)
(End of the fifth volume, [Invincible]. From the very start, this volume had been planned out. In order to put on a show, there were more than 150 chapters, which amounted to close to 500,000 words. It was fortunate that he didn't deviate from the main outline, and he was extremely satisfied with it.
The title of this volume was [I am Invincible in the Unhindered Alliance, Suppressing Twenty Countries Singlehandedly]! In other words, from today onward, the name of Yang shi would resound throughout the empire, and Zhang Xuan would have an even more incredible standing and standing. No one would dare to find trouble with him anymore!
Alright, the first volume is over, and the next one is about to begin. Tomorrow, the sixth volume, [Are You a Teacher?], will begin the prologue for everyone.
