Time passed quickly, and night arrived.

Chu Sheng remained in place, resting and adding some points.

[Ding]

[Consumed 2,000 Justice Points]

[Consumed three Rank 3 Lightning Attribute Monster Cores]

[Your Spirit Firmament Thunder Marsh Qi Control Art has been upgraded to Grand Completion]

The instant the last line of text appeared, countless tiny lightning sparks erupted around Chu Sheng.

Like silver snakes dancing wildly, they crackled and flowed without restraint.

As the lightning flashed and faded, The young man's robes fluttered, and he stood with his saber held horizontally.

His eyes, sharp as blades, Were illuminated to a deep indigo.

And reflected in his pupils were two figures.

Chu Sheng looked towards the two approaching.

One man and one woman.

The man showed no particular expression, but the young woman's face was extremely grim.

When had he offended her?

Chu Sheng had no recollection.

As they drew near, Sun Ling'er sneered.

"I thought you had already left the Abyssal Depths. I must say, your luck is quite poor."

Chu Sheng pouted in disgust, "Who the hell are you?"

"Sun Xiaochuan is my brother! Not only did you steal his breathing technique, but you dared to injure him so severely. Hand over the breathing technique, and I can spare your life."

With that, Sun Ling'er's powerful aura, at the ninth level of Meridian Opening, erupted.

She had expected Chu Sheng to collapse in fear.

However, to her surprise, the young man before her remained calm.

Furthermore, a meaningful curve appeared on his lips.

Chu Sheng hadn't expected that even at this hour, he'd get some visitors.

And all because he crippled her brother and stole his breathing technique, a trivial matter, yet they intended to cripple him.

Well, they were definitely villains!

"Robbery? You scoundrel..."

Chu Sheng's sneer was still hanging in the air when a cold glint shot through the air.

In his book, there was no rule about villains striking first.

Sun Ling'er's pupils contracted sharply.

She never dreamed that Chu Sheng, merely at the fifth level of Meridian Opening, would dare to challenge both of them, who were at the ninth level of Meridian Opening!

Now, she was starting to admire Chu Sheng's courage.

Sun Qi reacted extremely quickly, pushing Sun Ling'er aside as he did so. His five fingers converged like a sword, darting towards the saber.

"Junior, do not be so arrogant!"

If one were to ask what gave him his courage, It was naturally his powerful cultivation at the ninth level of Meridian Opening, Coupled with the Grand Completion of the high-grade Profound tier martial skill—Flower Picking Hand in the Clouds!

But in the next second, Sun Qi realized he was wrong, terribly wrong.

Swish—

There was no sound of steel colliding.

Instead, there was the tearing sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh and blood.

Sun Qi's entire arm was mangled.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, that blast of energy could have easily sliced open his neck.

Chu Sheng followed up with another saber strike.

The spitting energy blast was as terrifying as a saw blade.

Sun Qi knew the terrifying nature of this strike and instinctively dodged to the side.

The long saber seemed to move in sync with Chu Sheng's thoughts, as if it were an extension of his arm.

The saber's momentum suddenly shifted, drawing a strange arc through the air and slashing towards his abdomen.

Tshh—

Blood sprayed, and pieces of internal organs scattered.

Sun Qi was sent flying like a kite with a snapped string.

At the ninth level of meridian opening, he had no power to retaliate against someone at the fifth level.

No one would believe it if he told them.

In his dying moments, Sun Qi spat out a mouthful of blood.

"No wonder Grandma always said... cough cough... mmm."

His voice abruptly cut off.

Chu Sheng lifted his foot and stepped on Sun Qi's head.

"You're already dying, why so dramatic?"

Everything happened in a flash.

Sun Ling'er hadn't even reacted before her fifth uncle was already under Chu Sheng's foot.

Before she could speak.

Bong—

Chu Sheng stomped and exploded Sun Qi's head, red and white matter splattering everywhere.

[Killed a bandit attempting robbery]

[Justice Points +600]

Chu Sheng never held back from using brutal methods against villains.

"Fifth Uncle!!!"

Chu Sheng raised his saber and pointed it at Sun Ling'er.

"Don't yell, I'm leveling up first, then I'll kill you!"

[Ding]

[Consumed 600 Justice Points]

[Your Violet Lightning Piercing Clouds has been upgraded to Proficient]

Moving with his body, Chu Sheng took a step forward, a purple arc of electricity flashing and disappearing.

The next moment, he appeared in front of Sun Ling'er.

The blade drew a half-moon of silver light.

Unexpectedly, a white barrier suddenly rose around Sun Ling'er.

Boom—

The powerful recoil force made Chu Sheng retreat several steps.

"What the hell?"

Sun Ling'er let out a sigh of relief, her heart pounding.

She couldn't understand how someone at the fifth level of meridian opening could possess such terrifying strength.

Afterward, she rather smugly picked up the silver token at her waist.

This was her life-saving charm.

"This is the token of our Lingyue Academy. If you kill me, the academy will definitely send people to investigate thoroughly, and you won't be able to escape then."

Academy token?

Chu Sheng had heard of these. On one hand, they were a symbol of student status.

On the other hand, many major academies designed life-saving formations into their tokens.

Once the wearer encountered a fatal crisis, it would be triggered.

So, he really couldn't kill this woman?

But this was a blatant threat!

Chu Sheng hated being threatened more than anything.

Seeing Chu Sheng frozen in place, Sun Ling'er assumed he was scared.

It was quite normal, she thought.

While someone at the fifth level of meridian opening was a genius, they were still just a high school student.

Facing a behemoth like a top-tier academy, it was only natural to be afraid.

"If you know what's good for you, hand over the breathing technique, and we'll call it even for today."

"Otherwise—"

Before she could finish speaking, Chu Sheng, knife in hand, lunged towards the barrier.

"Stop blabbering, you absolutely have to die here today!"

What is Lingyue Academy?

It's just a second-rate academy. I'm already being specially recruited by a top-tier academy!

You like to compete, don't you?

You TM can go compete with the top-tier academies!

"Aaaah!!! You're a madman, Lingyue Academy won't let you go!"

Sun Ling'er howled as she ran.

But to her astonishment, Chu Sheng's true qi was like it was free.

He kept using his movement techniques and martial skills, his speed actually on par with hers.

She couldn't shake him at all...

The barrier could only last for three minutes. After three minutes, A strand of purple lightning flashed.

Then, a silver light appeared, and the Azure Edge Blade suddenly descended.

Puff—

Sun Ling'er was split directly in two from the middle, and a thick scent of blood instantly permeated the air.

He who kills shall be killed.

It didn't matter if she was pretty or had a good figure...

His surname wasn't Yuwen, and he didn't have brothers under him, so there was no such thing as wasting anything.

As long as they were evil, they deserved to die!

[Killed an evil bandit attempting robbery]

[Justice Points +600]

Another 600 Justice Points gained.

Just these two people were almost equivalent to his entire day's effort.

Leaving the Abyssal Depths, Chu Sheng's thoughts suddenly became clear.

Previously, he was still thinking about what conditions to propose tomorrow...

Now it seemed that resources and cultivation methods were secondary.

The true path was how to maximize his golden finger!

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
