Stopping Killing with Killing

Stopping Killing with Killing

"Oho, who would've thought that such a small place would have a late-stage Houtian expert!"

The corners of Wu Tuan's lips lifted slightly. Seated atop his warhorse, he cast a disdainful glance at Chen Qiye, who was slowly walking forward. He showed no concern whatsoever over the deaths of his men and instead wore a mocking sneer.

"Judging by your clothes, you're not from around here, are you?"

Wu Tuan sized Chen Qiye up, determining from his attire that he did not belong in these parts. Then he laughed.

"Not bad, not bad. At such a young age, you have this level of cultivation, and your methods are ruthless enough. You're rather to my liking. If you kneel and kowtow to admit your mistake, perhaps I'll leave you an intact corpse."

"No need."

Chen Qiye moved slightly, and battle qi erupted from his body. Crackling sounds rang out from his bones as faint light flared in his eyes. He stared at Wu Tuan. "Those who kill will eventually be killed!"

"Well said. You killed my men, so you must die!"

Wu Tuan casually ordered, "Second brother, kill him!"

"Yes, big brother!" Jia Ming's eyes immediately lit up as he said excitedly, "The rest of you, charge down the mountain and slaughter everyone still alive as an offering for our brothers!"

Jia Ming burst into laughter, and nearly a hundred horse bandits immediately answered his call. The thunder of galloping hooves instantly filled the air.

"You inhuman bastards!"

Chen Qiye cursed and immediately charged at Jia Ming.

A cold glint flashed through Jia Ming's eyes, and a flexible sword appeared in his hand. He was also a late-stage Houtian expert and felt no fear whatsoever when facing Chen Qiye.

Only an instant kill can intimidate these bastards. Otherwise, the people below the mountain will be in danger!

Chen Qiye's true qi suddenly exploded beneath his feet. He shot more than ten meters into the air like a rocket, while pale green spirals of qi condensed between his palms.

"What speed! What powerful true qi!" Wu Tuan was startled and hurriedly shouted, "Second brother, be careful!"

"You're only at the late Houtian stage! Die!"

Jia Ming kicked off from his horse's back. His flexible sword struck out like a venomous snake leaving its hole, dark black light blooming from its blade as it surged upward toward Chen Qiye with a killing intent.

In an instant, Chen Qiye flipped through the air, spreading his hands like a great roc unfurling its wings before violently slamming them down at Jia Ming.

Bang!

Flying Dragon in Heaven! Double attack!

Boom! Two greenish spirals of qi burst from Chen Qiye's palms like a mountain flood. The moment they left his hands, they transformed into dragon shapes and crashed down with roaring cries.

A muffled boom like spring thunder immediately resounded through the air.

The distance between Jia Ming and Chen Qiye was swept away in an instant. Jia Ming's flexible sword was sent flying by the tremendous force, while the power of Chen Qiye's palms did not weaken in the slightest as they smashed directly into Jia Ming.

Boom!

Another explosive crash rang out. Jia Ming struck the slope of Luoting Mountain like a falling meteor, kicking up dust that filled the sky and swept in all directions like raging waves beneath the fierce wind.

Wu Tuan froze in shock!

At that moment, Luoting Mountain fell as silent as death.

Every Black Wind Horse Bandit stared dumbfoundedly at the deep pit on the mountainside!

"Brother Chen, that was... so, so incredible!" Qin Yu was still far away. Seeing the two spirals of qi form in midair, he blurted out in astonishment. Chen Qiye's cultivation was not much higher than his, yet the force he unleashed far surpassed his own.

Ding! Emotional points from Qin Yu +300!

Ding! From...

A wave of emotional points raised Chen Qiye's realm once more.

Just as he had predicted, only by killing Jia Ming with his strongest attack and harvesting emotional points could he have a chance to kill Wu Tuan!

"You're not late-stage Houtian! You're at the Houtian limit!"

Wu Tuan stared fixedly at the deep pit on the mountainside. Only after a long while did he angrily say, "You hid your strength!"

"Brother Chen! I'm here to help you!" Qin Yu, who had rushed over at top speed, landed beside Chen Qiye.

"Good. You kill the other horse bandits. I'll kill Wu Tuan!"

Chen Qiye wasted no words. With a tap of his foot, he shot into the sky again and swept straight toward Wu Tuan! At the same time, Qin Yu flickered forward, pushing his movement technique to its limit. Afterimages appeared in midair as he streaked into the horse bandits like lightning.

"Ah!" A horse bandit's eyes widened. He let out a shrill scream, but his head had already flown into the air. Qin Yu's sweeping kick had directly taken off his head.

"Bastard!" Wu Tuan was enraged. All the power in his body erupted, and his black robe suddenly exploded into fragments that scattered through the air. Visible streams of qi then began circling his body as every muscle in him continued to tremble.

He threw a punch through the air, colliding with Chen Qiye's palm wind in a thunderous explosion.

Wu Tuan's qi pressed down so heavily that even his warhorse could not support itself and crashed to the ground!

What he cultivated was the Savage Bull Force. Though it was an internal cultivation method, it was one that fused muscular strength with internal energy. Wu Tuan had been born with immense strength, and cultivating the Savage Bull Force was like adding wings to a tiger. Having reached the Houtian limit, his strength was terrifying!

"I'll skin you alive!" Cold light flashed wildly in Wu Tuan's eyes as internal energy churned within him.

"Brother Chen, be careful! This guy has already reached the Houtian limit!" After cutting down another horse bandit, Qin Yu was disrupted by the qi and immediately cried out in alarm!

"You found out too late!" Wu Tuan's face twisted viciously. The moment he finished speaking, he charged directly at Chen Qiye. Every step he took on the mountainside sent thick internal energy rippling outward, leaving deep pits in the ground. He himself charged like a savage bull.

"The Houtian limit?" Chen Qiye narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "So what!"

His body bent slightly backward, and pale green spirals of qi rippled out from him. He thrust both palms toward Wu Tuan, who was charging straight at him.

Third Move! Dragon Appears in the Field!

Boom!

With a deafening crash and dust filling the sky, all of Luoting Mountain seemed to tremble.

Ripples spread through the air as well!

The horse bandits and Qin Yu, who had been fighting, all froze at that instant!

Within the dust, a figure vaguely emerged. Dressed in white, he stood like a statue that had existed since ancient times. Yet before him was a rippling crack, its sides densely branching outward like a spiderweb.

A thunderous roar sounded from the end of the crack!

At that moment, every horse bandit stood dumbstruck!

What Houtian limit? What fusion of internal and external strength? Before that palm strike, it all seemed like a joke.

After a single exchange, Wu Tuan, who had reached the Houtian limit, was blasted to pieces by Chen Qiye.

These horse bandits had practically forgotten to run!

The entire scene was deathly silent!

Not a single sound remained!

"Qin Yu, what are you standing around for? Kill!" A sharp shout rang over Luoting Mountain like a morning bell and an evening drum. Then screams filled the land. In just a few minutes, nearly a hundred horse bandits were all killed!
