Slaying Luo Changxin

Luo Changxin slowly said, "Yang Lie, the Yun Family is arrogant, overbearing, cruel, and tyrannical, utterly unreasonable. Yun Haoran was the one who suggested going out to hunt ferocious beasts. He died in an accident at the hands of an evil ghost, yet the Yun Family wants to take it out on me. Is that fair? You're Yun Rou's lifesaver, so the Yun Family definitely won't suspect you! Please shelter me for a while, and I'll repay you handsomely in the future!"

"Luo Changxin, you shouldn't have come looking for me! Since you know the Yun Family is arrogant, overbearing, cruel, and tyrannical, then anyone associated with you won't come to a good end. You came to me with malicious intentions, wanting to drag me down with you."

"I originally had no intention of getting involved in your grudge with the Yun Family! But since you wanted to harm me, there's only one road left for you!"

A glint of coldness flashed through Yang Lie's eyes. His true qi boiled as he tapped the ground and shot toward Luo Changxin.

"That's right! I wanted to harm you! Why should you be stronger than me? Why should Yun Rou like you? If you obediently sheltered me and served as my tool, you could have lived a few more days! Since you've come to die, I'll grant your wish!!"

Luo Changxin smiled viciously. A large amount of black aura suddenly surged from the dark green jade pendant on his chest and entered his body.

In an instant, Luo Changxin's face turned pale and his skin gray, as though he had become a corpse, yet he radiated an eerie and dangerous aura.

Yang Lie's heart tightened slightly. He immediately unleashed Azure Dragon выхода из моря, throwing a punch at Luo Changxin.

Black aura churned around Luo Changxin's body. In an incredibly bizarre movement, he instantly rose into the air, flipped over with his feet pointing upward and his head downward, then clawed viciously at Yang Lie's crown.

"What kind of martial art is this? He didn't know this move when I fought him last time!"

A trace of gravity flashed through Yang Lie's eyes. He fell backward on the spot, pressed both hands against the ground, and abruptly kicked both legs upward, using Azure Dragon Swings Tail to kick at Luo Changxin in midair.

Bang!

With a terrifying boom, Luo Changxin was struck by Yang Lie's kick and blasted away by the immense force. Blood sprayed from his seven orifices, and even his internal organs were shattered.

"Yang Lie, you destroyed my body. This hatred is irreconcilable!! Die!!"

A transparent Luo Changxin flew out of Luo Changxin's body, blood streaming from his seven orifices and his organs shattered. With a savage face like an evil ghost, he clawed at Yang Lie like a specter.

"An evil spirit!!"

A warning surged wildly in Yang Lie's heart. He frantically circulated his true qi and struck at Luo Changxin with Azure Dragon выхода из моря.

Yang Lie's right fist slammed into Luo Changxin's body. He vaguely felt as though his fist had struck a thin plastic bag, weightless and unable to find purchase, while vast amounts of true qi drained away madly.

The portion of Luo Changxin's body that had been struck vanished outright. His face became even paler, but instead of retreating, he advanced, stabbing a claw toward Yang Lie's heart.

"I've already seen this move!"

Yang Lie smiled coldly, tapped the ground, and retreated explosively, evading Luo Changxin's claw. At the same time, he used Azure Dragon Swings Tail to kick Luo Changxin's body viciously.

Terrifying true qi erupted in an instant, kicking another large chunk out of Luo Changxin's body.

The first time Yang Lie encountered an evil spirit, he had not known how to deal with it. When the evil spirit clutched his heart with a claw, it gave him a terrible fright. After thinking it over for a long time, he finally devised a method for dealing with evil spirits: never let their attacks get near his heart.

Luo Changxin's face turned another shade paler. His speed abruptly increased as he lunged at Yang Lie.

Yang Lie unleashed the Azure Dragon Fist Technique, resembling a humanoid azure dragon. He circulated his true qi as his fists and feet continuously struck Luo Changxin's body. Whenever Luo Changxin tried to attack his vital points, Yang Lie would retreat explosively and evade his attacks.

The two exchanged over a dozen moves in an instant. Luo Changxin's body was struck repeatedly, becoming increasingly blurred.

Luo Changxin roared with a savage expression, "Damn it!! I'll kill you!! I'll definitely kill you!!"

All of a sudden, black aura burst from Luo Changxin's body. He opened his mouth and let out an incomparably piercing ghostly howl.

That piercing, eerie howl went straight through Yang Lie's ears and crashed into his mind, leaving his brain muddled for an instant.

In that instant, Luo Changxin's claw slammed directly into Yang Lie's heart.

"I got him! Hm? Why is it so hard?"

The smile on Luo Changxin's face froze. He stared in despair at the jade-like radiance blooming from Yang Lie's skin. It was that layer of jade-like light that had blocked his ghost claw.

"Huh! You can't even break my defense!! Then die!"

A trace of delight flashed through Yang Lie's eyes. He tapped the ground and appeared before Luo Changxin's body in a flash, then used Azure Dragon Swings Tail to kick it viciously.

Bang!!

Luo Changxin's body was shattered by Yang Lie's kick, and chunks of flesh and blood scattered across the ground.

"No!!"

Seeing this, despair flashed through Luo Changxin's eyes. He accelerated once more and pounced toward Yang Lie. Once he lost his body, he would gradually turn into a fierce ghost, slowly losing his human emotions until he was no longer himself.

A cold glint flashed in Yang Lie's eyes. He activated the Azure Dragon Fist, and his essence, qi, and spirit suddenly merged as one. An incomparably domineering Azure Dragon Fist Intent rose from within him, coiling around his fist. Accompanied by a dragon's roar, he struck Luo Changxin's body.

Bang!

Luo Changxin was directly shredded by the incomparably terrifying Azure Dragon martial intent and scattered into the wind.

Surprise flashed through Yang Lie's eyes. "He died? Could this be the power of martial intent!"

The Human Alliance dominated the universe through martial arts, so it had naturally encountered powerful beings from many other civilizations. The most terrifying among them were the Evil Gods.

Those powerful Evil Gods could easily corrupt an entire planet and alter its rules. The words they wrote, and objects containing their will and power, could become Evil God Forbidden Objects with bizarre abilities and potent corruptive power.

Humanity relied on powerful martial intent to resist and destroy many bizarre powers and strange corruptions. Without martial intent, humanity would long ago have been corrupted by the Evil Gods and reduced to their followers, slaves, or puppets.

Mechas, implants, starships, and martial arts were the four pillars of the Human Alliance. Among those four pillars, martial arts was the core.

Powerful mech pilots, Implant Users, and Starship Commanders were all martial arts experts. They merely specialized in different martial paths, and all possessed powerful martial intent.

Yang Lie mused, Ordinarily, only martial arts experts at the Heaven and Human Realm can condense martial intent. There are great benefits to condensing it ahead of time. At the very least, I won't have such a hard time dealing with evil ghosts next time!

Although the Azure Dragon Fist was a Heaven Grade Martial Art, it was not a martial art designed to restrain ghosts. Yang Lie had killed Luo Changxin by relying on true qi far surpassing that of ordinary people and his incredibly formidable defense. If it had been an ordinary Hundred Refinements Realm martial artist, Luo Changxin would have torn out their heart the moment he pounced on them, making him impossible to resist.
