Gone With the Wind
Lin Sheng was dead.
The hearts of those around them trembled violently when they saw this shocking scene.
Lin Sheng was the number one sword practitioner in Skyflame City. His training had reached the sixth level of the earth spirit realm, and he'd become even stronger after using the Crimson Wu Ling. He could be said to be the number one in Skyflame City.
However, someone as strong as him had died at the hands of Chu Xingyun. Not even his bones remained as he'd been reduced to ashes!
At the same time, many people started to seriously examine Chu Xingyun.
Just who was this person?!
A day ago, he'd still been at the seventh level of spirit gathering and had been madly pursued by the Crashing Tiger Hall. He'd even been blasted to the bottom of the lake by Lin Sheng.
A day later, he'd appeared powerfully. Not only had he raised his training to the first level of the earth spirit realm, but he'd also been able to use such terrifying flames and completely erase Lin Sheng from this world.
It was simply too shocking. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, almost no one would've believed that there would be such a monstrous person in this world who could see the difference in levels as nothing!
Qian Yuxin and Elder Gu also saw this scene and were completely dumbfounded.
She was the princess of the Qian Martial Emperor and was hailed as a genius that only appeared once every hundred years. Even the swordmaster of the Wanjian Pavilion wanted to take her as a disciple and wholeheartedly nurture and teach her.
It wasn't until she'd met Chu Xingyun that Qian Yuxin realized how lowly her reputation as a genius was.
Chu Xingyun's sword skills were unparalleled. She couldn't even fathom a casual stroke.
Chu Xingyun's strength was bottomless. He'd first destroyed Geng Qianyu and then killed Lin Sheng. Each time he'd made a move, it was so shocking that it wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was a celestial being.
She'd even keenly discovered one thing.
Chu Xingyun hadn't used the Sky Cutter in his battle with Lin Sheng. He hadn't used his full strength and was still holding back!
"After entering the earth spirit realm, my control over the Ten Thousand Beast Fire has become even more flexible. Cultivation level is indeed the foundation of strength, there is no doubt about this." Chu Xingyun withdrew the Ten Thousand Beast Fire, but sparks still danced between his fingers.
As soon as he turned his head, the fifty or so experts of the Crashing Tiger Hall fell to their knees and begged for mercy, "My lord, we were blinded by greed. Please be magnanimous and let us live."
As they spoke, the group of people kept kowtowing. The banging sounds did not stop for a long time.
"Blinded by interest for a moment?" Chu Xingyun smiled. He looked at the surrounding crowd and said in a clear voice, "Everyone, what do you think of the Crashing Tiger Hall's actions in Tianyan City?"
His voice was mixed with spiritual energy, so everyone could hear it clearly. They were all stunned on the spot.
But after a short moment, a fifth level spirit gathering cultivator stepped out and gritted his teeth, "There's no good in the Crashing Tiger Hall. They burn, kill, pillage, and rob. Almost everyone has the right to punish them."
"Two months ago, the Crashing Tiger Hall charged into my Lei residence and started a massacre. One hundred and twenty three of my people died. If I hadn't left Tianyan City that day, I would've died without a doubt."
"My Li family is the same. We've suffered from the Crashing Tiger Hall's vicious attacks many times. A faction like this is a malignant tumor!"
… …
After one person spoke, curses poured out like a tidal wave. Almost everyone was filled with hatred for the Crashing Tiger Hall.
Today, Lin Sheng had died and the Crashing Tiger Hall was like a pack of dragons without a leader. They could finally speak these words. Many people's eyes had turned red, and their bodies were filled with cold killing intent.
"Those who are unjust are doomed to destruction. Now, what else do you have to say?"
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, the fifty over people were stunned. They looked at each other with fear in their eyes. They could feel the arrival of death.
Then, screams came from the entire lake. The sound was so loud that it seemed to penetrate the void. Even people who were a few miles away could hear it clearly.
After a while, the screams gradually dissipated. The entire lake had been dyed red. Corpses floated on the surface of the lake. The scene was so tragic that even the black lava python didn't dare to poke its head out. It hid at the bottom of the lake.
Chu Xingyun's figure flashed and landed steadily on the lakeside. When he turned his head, he saw Lin Tianchong walking slowly towards him. There was a kind smile on his wrinkled old face.
"Your methods are a little ruthless, but it's satisfying." Lin Tianchong laughed. The Crashing Tiger Hall's actions had accumulated endless anger. These people deserved to die.
Chu Xingyun rarely heard Lin Tianchong's praise. He also laughed and glanced at Qian Yuxin and Old Gu.
This gaze came so suddenly that Qian Yuxin didn't know what to do. The scene that had just happened flashed through her mind, and her heart started to beat faster.
"I have achieved my goal in coming to the Sky Flame Mountain Range. It's time for me to leave!" Chu Xingyun's voice was calm, and no one could feel the slightest fluctuation in his emotions.
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed like a gust of wind and vanished without a trace.
Qian Yuxin stared blankly. When she couldn't feel Chu Xingyun's aura anymore, she suddenly regained her senses. She ran in the direction that Chu Xingyun had left and shouted, "Can you tell me your name?"
Her voice spread out, but there was no reply. Only the whistling of the wind resounded between heaven and earth.
"What a stingy person. Not only did he refuse to teach me swordsmanship, he even refused to tell me his name!" Qian Yuxin stomped her feet and looked ahead with anger. There was a strange feeling of emptiness in her heart.
"Princess, please calm down!"
Old Man Gu hastily walked over and said in a low voice, "This person's strength is valiant, and his talent is even more shocking. He must be a young genius of my Qianwu Dynasty. After I return to the Imperial City, I'll immediately report to the King and ask him to give the order to thoroughly investigate the entire dynasty. Within three days, we'll surely be able to find traces of him."
"Okay, we will do as you say. Return to the Imperial City immediately and ask my father to order a thorough investigation of the Qian Martial Emperor's Imperial Court. Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find him!" Qian Yuxin's eyes lit up as she snorted.
"Immediately?" Old Gu was stunned and said resentfully, "Princess, we left the Imperial City less than three days ago. Moreover, it seems that you have not broken through the bottleneck of your cultivation. Isn't it too fast to return to the Imperial City now?"
"How about I write a letter and send it to the Imperial City to ask the Emperor to thoroughly investigate this person?" Old Gu thought of a compromise.
"Writing a letter is too slow!"
Qian Yuxin's voice carried a trace of indisputable tone. She focused her eyes and said firmly, "I will return to the Imperial City personally and ask my father to order a search. We must find that person's trace in the shortest time possible."
"Not only that, I will also go to the Wanjian Pavilion and tell my teacher everything that has happened these days. I don't know why, but I always feel that the path of the sword he talked about is broad and profound. It has already surpassed the unity of man and sword that my teacher talked about."
