Ruthlessly Destroying Beauty

"Kid, if you know what's good for you, let me go. I can let bygones be bygones. I can even share Ye Ruxue with you. How about it?"

The short young man had Tang Tian's blade pressed to his neck. His face was a miserable sight, and his speech leaked air, yet none of his arrogance had diminished.

"Is that so? You want this young master to join forces with trash like you? Why don't you look in a mirror first? Are you worthy?"

Tang Tian sneered. A gentleman loved wealth but acquired it by proper means; the same went for lust.

Even if he was no gentleman, he still disdained people and deeds too shameful to see the light of day.

"You... you're courting death... If you've got the guts, kill me! Let's see whether you dare do it today. Whoever doesn't dare is a grandson!"

The short young man roared again and again. As he howled, bloody foam sprayed from his mouth.

"Fine. I'll grant your wish."

Tang Tian spoke unhurriedly. With a flick of the blade in his hand, blood splashed from the short young man's neck.

"You..."

The short young man's eyes widened. Even in death, his face was full of disbelief. He had never imagined that Tang Tian would truly dare to strike.

Tang Tian released his grip and let the corpse crash to the ground. Shrugging, he said, "You all saw it. He told me to do it. If I hadn't, wouldn't that have made me his grandson? Sigh, I've never seen such a cheap request in my life. I've seen people beg for mercy, but never someone so desperate to die."

"..."

Ye Ruxue was utterly stunned, staring blankly at Tang Tian. She had not expected there to be someone unafraid of the Falling Star Sect.

After witnessing Tang Tian make his move, Ye Ruxue no longer thought the youth before her was a fool.

"You're courting death!"

The tall, thin young man gritted his teeth, fury blazing in his eyes.

Ximen Lian was equally astonished. She had not expected Tang Tian to be a True Person who concealed his true abilities.

"Sigh, you people keep saying I'm courting death, but what happened? Tsk, tsk, tsk... What a pity."

Tang Tian glanced at the corpse on the ground, his face full of disdain.

"No, I can't stand it anymore. Today, I have to chop this brat into minced meat!"

One of the Falling Star Sect disciples could no longer endure Tang Tian's punchable face.

No matter what, there were still three of them. If they dealt with Tang Tian carefully, how could he possibly get another chance to strike?

Yet Tang Tian looked at Ye Ruxue and smiled faintly. "Miss Ye, I'll hold off two. You can kill one, no problem, right?"

"Uh... no problem." Ye Ruxue was taken aback, then immediately understood Tang Tian's intentions.

With Tang Tian's insight, how could he fail to see that Ye Ruxue was stronger than those three? She was a true genius cultivator.

Even Lin Yichen was inferior to Ye Ruxue.

Ximen Lian snapped, "Ye Ruxue, you're outrageously bold! You dare kill Falling Star Sect disciples? Aren't you afraid your Ye Family in Starfall City will be wiped out, leaving your home destroyed and your family dead?"

Ye Ruxue snorted coldly. "What, you're allowed to attack me, but I'm not allowed to attack you? Today, not only will I kill those three beasts, you won't be getting away either!"

If Tang Tian had not interrupted them, with five people besieging her earlier, the outcome would likely not have been this good.

"Kid, have you thought this through? Offend my uncle, and you'll die too!"

Seeing that threatening Ye Ruxue was useless, Ximen Lian turned to Tang Tian instead.

Tang Tian rolled his eyes at her. "Are you all chest and no brains? If we slaughter every last one of you today, who will know we did it? Let me tell you plainly, my Tang Family of Starfall City isn't afraid of the Falling Star Sect, nor are we afraid of a descendant of privilege like you."

"The Tang Family?"

Ye Ruxue silently sized Tang Tian up. She truly could not recall how the Tang Family had produced someone like him.

With only Initial Blood-Burning Realm cultivation, he could kill an Advanced Bone-Forging Realm cultivator. Such strength to challenge above his realm could not be underestimated.

After Tang Tian retorted so sharply, Ximen Lian's expression changed drastically, and she turned to flee.

She was the weakest here. Staying would only mean death. As for the Falling Star Sect disciples, if they died, they died.

"Trying to leave?"

Tang Tian's lips curled. His right foot suddenly exerted force, and before anyone could react, he had already caught up.

Over the past few days, Tang Tian had fought demonic beasts. Whether in strength, speed, or technique, he had reached the peak level among cultivators of the same realm.

In merely the blink of an eye, he had caught up with Ximen Lian, and the longsword in his hand came crashing down.

Pitying and cherishing a delicate flower?

Sorry, but for Tang Tian, that depended on who it was.

When it came to enemies, a woman like this did not even qualify as a flower or jade. Killing her felt filthy.

But if such a vicious woman was not killed, she would only become a future calamity!

Ximen Lian's expression changed. She hurriedly turned around to defend herself, hastily raising her longsword to block.

With a sharp crack, metal struck metal.

Tang Tian actually severed Ximen Lian's longsword in a single slash. His blade did not slow, instead sweeping horizontally.

"Splurt..."

The blade sliced across Ximen Lian's fair neck, and blood sprayed out.

"I... I..."

Ximen Lian's lips trembled a few times. She opened her mouth, but no words came out. Her beauty faded and her jade body perished.

"Damn it!"

The tall, thin Falling Star Sect disciple wore an extremely ugly expression. Tang Tian had struck so ruthlessly and decisively, crushing a flower with cruel hands.

What pained him was that he had not yet had the chance to taste Ximen Lian's charms.

Thus, whether it was the hatred over their fellow disciple's death or Ximen Lian's demise, the three Falling Star Sect disciples were filled with boundless hatred for Tang Tian.

"Attack!"

With a loud shout, the tall, thin man took the lead in charging Tang Tian.

If they allowed Tang Tian to pick them off one by one, then with Ye Ruxue added to the mix, they would have no chance of victory. Their end would only be the same as the two corpses on the ground.

"You want to make a move? Have you asked the sword in my hand?"

Ye Ruxue gave a light cry. With a flourish of her longsword, she intercepted the tall, thin young man first.

Among the remaining three, the tall, thin young man was the strongest. Ye Ruxue wanted to make things easier for Tang Tian as well.

Tang Tian was extremely clever and understood at once. He gave Ye Ruxue a deep look and softly said, "Thank you for your trouble, Miss Ye."

He then tossed aside the longsword in his hand. After all, he was not a blade cultivator, and wielding a blade did not feel right to him.

Immediately afterward, he vanished from where he stood and began fighting the other two Falling Star Sect disciples.

Those two were, after all, Advanced Bone-Forging Realm cultivators. With them acting cautiously, Tang Tian had no opportunity to exploit.

Tang Tian had been able to kill the short young man earlier only because he had caught him off guard.

After reaching the Initial Blood-Burning Realm, he had yet to burn even a trace of blood due to the limitations of the Nine-Turn Heavenly Thunder Art.

In other words, his Initial Blood-Burning Realm cultivation was still heavily diluted. Facing two Advanced Bone-Forging Realm cultivators at once was indeed difficult.

Ye Ruxue was not someone who liked to talk much. Her cold eyes shifted like ice and snow, while her longsword radiated streams of frosty qi, sealing every path of retreat for the tall, thin young man.

"Ye Ruxue, you dare oppose our Falling Star Sect? You're walking straight into your own grave!"

How could the tall, thin young man possibly be Ye Ruxue's match?

After exchanging only a few moves, he was already stretched thin, able only to defend without pause.

"You think too highly of yourselves. The Falling Star Sect is a great sect. How could scum like you possibly represent it?"

Ye Ruxue shouted sharply and said no more. Her longsword danced, her attacks growing even faster.

She needed to end this quickly. Otherwise, Tang Tian might be in danger...
