Shocking All Beings

Shocking All Living Beings

The moment they heard that the person who had arrived was the foremost expert on the Earth Ranking, Bai Wanli, the small town instantly fell into chaos.

How could Black Martial Realm warriors still dare to watch the show? They hid as far away as they possibly could.

Even ordinary Earth Martial Realm warriors retreated three kilometers.

Those who could still stand within one li and not leave were all existences at the consummate Earth Martial Realm. Only they could withstand the ripples of energy leaking from the battles of an expert like Bai Wanli.

Ouyang Ke's expression changed drastically as well—this Bai Wanli truly had not come to challenge the young master, but to take the young master's life.

He had also been immersed in cultivation these past days and had not paid attention to news from the Bounty Alliance. He had never imagined that the Qi Family would actually issue a mission through the Bounty Alliance to take Jiang Feng's life.

It seemed Qi Gongfu's heart was firmly set on Jiang Feng's death!

Because once the Bounty Alliance issued a mission, it would never stop until the objective was achieved, unless the person who issued the mission withdrew it.

Yu Xiaoxun had already made herself perfectly clear. Clearly, there was absolutely no possibility of making Bai Wanli retreat.

At this point, Ouyang Ke could only step forward to meet them head-on.

"Bai Wanli, don't blame me for not warning you," Ouyang Ke began attacking the heart. "Of all those who wanted to kill my young master, aside from me, not a single one has lived to this day!"

"Hmph..." Yu Xiaoxun gave a cold snort. "And what are you supposed to be?"

"Brother, let me test this Ouyang Ke and see just how much he has improved!"

With that, Yu Xiaoxun attacked directly.

Ouyang Ke snorted coldly. If Bai Wanli had personally made a move, he might have been somewhat cautious, but this Yu Xiaoxun was rather not enough for him to fight!

His confidence right now was bursting at the seams!

Yu Xiaoxun was third on the Earth Ranking, so her strength was naturally not weak. But even so, she did not have the ability to kill any of those ranked below her on the Earth Ranking; she could only defeat them. In other words, Yu Xiaoxun could not even kill the original Ouyang Ke, let alone the current one.

The present Ouyang Ke's strength had soared severalfold. If he wanted to kill Yu Xiaoxun, ten moves would be enough!

Yu Xiaoxun also knew that Ouyang Ke's strength had increased, so the moment she attacked, she used her strongest power.

A pair of Triple-Blade Swords, containing Micro-Insight True Intent, struck straight at Ouyang Ke.

Ouyang Ke was extraordinarily sharp-witted. He knew well that Bai Wanli was still watching like a tiger eyeing its prey, so he did not dare reveal too much and suppressed his strength to forty percent. In a while, he would definitely have to battle Bai Wanli, and he first had to make Bai Wanli look down on him.

The two fought together, locked in a struggle neither could untangle.

The energy that scattered outward destroyed the surrounding buildings one after another. The front hall of the inn had already collapsed.

Tang Wanjing, who should have been resting inside the inn, was forced onto the inn's rooftop, watching the battle with the support of two male servants.

The weapons Yu Xiaoxun used were Triple-Blade Swords, emphasizing agility and speed. Her moves were sharp and clean, every strike aimed straight at a vital point, simple and direct. Combined with Micro-Insight True Intent, their offensive force was extremely powerful when unleashed.

In terms of weapon techniques, Yu Xiaoxun happened to counter Ouyang Ke.

After all, Ouyang Ke's heavy saber emphasized tyranny and ferocity, with all its attacks spread across a broad face.

Yu Xiaoxun's attacks, however, were concentrated on a point.

When cultivation was comparable, using a point to break a surface could decide victory and defeat.

However, at this moment, Ouyang Ke had the advantage in strength.

"As expected, he was hiding something before." Bai Wanli saw through it at a glance. In Ouyang Ke's earlier battle with Tang Wanjing, he had indeed suppressed his power. The Ouyang Ke at this moment was much stronger than before.

As a result, the two fought on equal footing.

Tang Wanjing could see it too. The current Ouyang Ke was much stronger than he had been earlier. She guaranteed that, it seemed what Ouyang Ke said was not false—he really had held back.

If Ouyang Ke had used this level of strength to fight her from the start, she would not have lasted nearly that long.

If Jiang Feng really made him grow this quickly, then following Jiang Feng is a good thing for me as well! Tang Wanjing calculated inwardly.

The surrounding crowd also discussed animatedly:

"To think Ouyang Ke really did hide his strength in his earlier battle with Tang Wanjing."

"Exactly. Look at him now—he can actually fight Yu Xiaoxun on equal footing!"

"Now, this Earth Ranking is probably going to be rearranged from top to bottom."

Yu Xiaoxun naturally sensed it too: This Ouyang Ke's strength really has advanced quite a lot. If it were before, although I couldn't defeat him in a short time, I would definitely be pressing him down as I fought. But now, he can actually fight me evenly.

Brother is watching from the side. I can't embarrass myself. I have to use a martial skill and end this quickly!

After Yu Xiaoxun made her decision, she began creating an opportunity to use her martial skill.

Her martial skill erupted almost in an instant. She believed Ouyang Ke would certainly have no chance of retreating from beneath her martial skill completely unharmed. Even if she could not seriously injure him, she would still make him suffer light injuries, his momentum greatly crushed.

Just as Yu Xiaoxun was doing everything she could to maintain the standoff, one of Ouyang Ke's saber moves spent itself, leaving him too late to defend.

Now! Yu Xiaoxun immediately seized the chance.

Brilliant light burst from the two Triple-Blade Swords in her hands. As her hands came together, the two streaks of light instantly merged into a single dazzling white ray, shooting through the air toward Ouyang Ke with the speed of lightning that left no time to cover one's ears.

"Hmph, perfect timing!"

Ouyang Ke roared, and with extreme speed, he actually withdrew his saber and slashed again!

Ah, no! Yu Xiaoxun's heart shook. He deliberately pretended his move was spent, but in truth, he was luring me into attacking!

"There's a ghost!"

On the rooftop, Bai Wanli was slightly startled. "Unrestrained Blade?"

"He's actually comprehended Unrestrained Blade to such a level, to the point where he can release and withdraw it so freely!"

On the other side, Tang Wanjing was startled as well. "As expected, when this guy fought me, not only did he suppress his strength, he didn't even use his techniques with full effort. To think he can wield such a wide-open, sweeping martial skill so handily, releasing and withdrawing it at will. Tonight has truly opened my eyes!"

After Jiang Feng's improvements, Ouyang Ke's Unrestrained Blade had not only greatly increased in power, even its method of circulating qi had been simplified. It was precisely because of this that he could release and withdraw it freely, with no need for any cumbersome accumulation of power.

At this moment, facing Yu Xiaoxun's sudden explosive assault with her martial skill, Ouyang Ke no longer hid his own. On the basis of suppressing his strength to forty percent, he unleashed Unrestrained Blade at full force.

Its formidable power instantly collided with Yu Xiaoxun's martial skill.

"Broken apart!"

In Bai Wanli's eyes, Yu Xiaoxun's martial skill was broken apart in an instant, and at that moment, Yu Xiaoxun had already lost the ability to dodge. She could only let Ouyang Ke's Unrestrained Blade fall upon her.

"Dead!?"

Under everyone's gaze, Ouyang Ke's Unrestrained Blade easily broke apart Yu Xiaoxun's martial skill. Amid the bursting radiance, Yu Xiaoxun's protective qi failed to play any role at all before it was torn to shreds. The remaining blade light's might had only been halved, and it landed heavily on her body.

Yu Xiaoxun flew backward, her body crashing with a boom into the foundation platform of the building opposite, sinking into it.

Ouyang Ke's blade light slowed only slightly, forcibly carving a trench half a meter deep and eight meters long into the ground!

"She's dead?"

Seeing that Yu Xiaoxun no longer moved, everyone was overcome with terror!

"Heavens, Ouyang Ke actually killed Yu Xiaoxun!"

"Impossible. Yu Xiaoxun is third on the Earth Ranking. Even if Bai Wanli and Shen Bijun wanted to kill her, they'd have to go through some trouble."

"I must have seen it wrong. Yes, I definitely saw it wrong!"

"Does Ouyang Ke truly possess the strength to stand shoulder to shoulder with Bai Wanli and Shen Bijun?"

Tang Wanjing was also rooted to the spot in shock. She could sense it: Yu Xiaoxun was indeed dead, killed by Ouyang Ke.

"As expected, he really does possess the strength to kill me!" Tang Wanjing's heart was filled with shock and fear. "Even Yu Xiaoxun was killed by him!"

At this moment, only relief and terror remained in Tang Wanjing's heart.

Beside them, Bai Wanli's brow furrowed slightly.

"He really isn't ordinary!" Bai Wanli looked at Ouyang Ke. "He actually killed Yu Xiaoxun."

Yu Xiaoxun's death was no great matter to him. In his life, he had seen too much life and death, and personally created too much of it, for this to move him.

Although Yu Xiaoxun followed him, he had only regarded her as a tool. A tool he occasionally used to vent his desires, a tool to help him with errands.

If a tool died, then it was simply broken. He could just find another one another day.

In truth, Bai Wanli had foreseen Ouyang Ke killing Yu Xiaoxun.

He had already seen earlier that Ouyang Ke had been hiding something with his Unrestrained Blade, and on top of that, Ouyang Ke had suppressed his strength. Taken together, Ouyang Ke already possessed the power to threaten Yu Xiaoxun's life.

Because Yu Xiaoxun's physical body emphasized speed and explosive power, while her defense was extremely weak.

If it had been some other expert on the Earth Ranking with a more powerful physical body, Ouyang Ke's blade might at most have left them gravely injured, not taken their life.

In addition, Yu Xiaoxun had been too eager to win and had fallen for Ouyang Ke's trap, taking Ouyang Ke's tyrannical Unrestrained Blade directly to her body. It would have been strange if she hadn't died.

If she had continued tangling with Ouyang Ke and waited for him to use his martial skill first, perhaps she would still have had a chance to dodge and escape.

If blame was to be assigned, then blame Yu Xiaoxun herself for being too foolish!

"Very splendid!"

At last, Bai Wanli spoke. From the moment he arrived in this small town and stood atop that rooftop until now, he had not spoken once.

Now, Yu Xiaoxun was dead, and he actually lavished praise on this battle as "very splendid"!

His heart was as cold as three feet of ice!
