Chapter 671 Xie Nian's Death, Backing Him Up [1st Update]
The sound, imbued with internal energy, suddenly rang out, carrying for miles, causing eardrums to ache.
Xie Kongming didn't even have time to react before he crashed to the ground like a cannonball.
"Snap!"
It instantly became a deep pit.
"!!!"
On the viewing platform, all the ancient martial arts practitioners were shocked and looked up sharply towards the source of the sound.
It was a tall and slender figure, also coming from the horizon.
It's like stepping down stairs, descending step by step from the air.
Everything was smooth and normal, as if walking on flat ground.
He was wearing a black trench coat, and the howling wind blew open his coat, revealing his delicate collarbone.
A strong smell of blood rose up, and the man seemed like a demon crawling out of hell.
It possesses a deadly, alluring beauty, yet it also represents death.
"..."
Akihachi Lake was deathly silent.
Everyone stared blankly at the handsome man who had suddenly appeared, their breaths almost stopping.
Fu Yunshen's face is quite famous in the ancient martial arts world; many people from the Lin, Xie, and Yue families recognize him.
Everyone knows that Xie Kongming has over 230 years of ancient martial arts cultivation.
Although he wasn't among the most skilled in ancient martial arts, he was definitely a figure who could roam freely in the world of ancient martial arts.
But he is almost three hundred years old this year.
Three hundred years old is the lifespan limit for many ancient martial arts practitioners.
And what about Fu Yunshen?
He is definitely not over twenty-five years old this year!
How is this possible?!
Ying Zijin, a martial arts master who is not even twenty years old, is already enough to shake the martial arts world.
Now, Fu Yunshen is not even twenty-five years old, but his ancient martial arts skills have already surpassed Xie Kongming's!
What does this mean?
The most shocked were the members of the Lin family.
He especially couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the young man who had mocked him at the annual auction in the ancient martial arts world.
"Patriarch!" The young man opened his mouth, but it took him a long time to find his voice. His teeth were chattering. "How...how could his cultivation be so strong?"
The Lin family conducted a thorough investigation at the time.
Fu Yunshen is not a member of the ancient martial arts world at all, and none of his ancestors were ancient martial arts practitioners.
In other words, it is impossible for him to have a genetic mutation and possess ancient martial arts talent.
But he not only possesses, but also far surpasses all the young geniuses in the ancient martial arts world.
Lin Jinyun was also extremely surprised.
Although he knew that Fu Yunshen was the Shadow, he did not expect that Fu Yunshen's cultivation had reached this level.
His expression was gloomy, and he pursed his lips slightly, showing some regret.
If the Lin family had known ten years ago that Fu Yunshen's future would be so terrifying, they would have nipped him in the bud, denying him even the chance to develop!
Lin Jinyun gritted her teeth.
They're all really good at hiding their true intentions.
The commotion around her did not affect Ying Zijing. She raised her hand and released her inner strength.
Xie Nian was forced to lift her feet off the ground and was frozen in mid-air.
Just like mending a worn-out garment, Ying Zijing pierced Xie Nian's body one after another with her gold and silver needles.
Xie Nian's vision was already blurred, and she couldn't see Fu Yunshen's face clearly. She could only vaguely recognize who it was from the exclamations of the crowd on the viewing platform.
Of course, she had heard of Fu Yunshen's name.
It is rare for someone from the secular world to have such high talent in ancient martial arts.
However, Xie Nian never took Fu Yunshen to heart.
But now, the people she once looked down on are all trampling on her head.
How could she accept this?!
Suddenly, Xie Nian felt a chill.
"Click-clack—"
Her top shattered under the influence of internal energy, falling piece by piece.
Apart from Fu Yunshen, who was imprisoning the Xie family with his back to the arena, all the male martial arts practitioners present saw Xie Nian's body.
The body was covered with gold and silver needles, and drops of blood flowed down it one after another.
The skin was torn and the flesh was exposed, a horrifying sight, and definitely not beautiful.
"Damn it!" Jiang Ran paused for a second, then immediately took out an eye mask and put it on. "You're dirtying my eyes."
Xie Nian's eyes widened, and an unprecedented sense of humiliation made her tears fall instantly.
She made a hoarse, guttural sound, almost screaming, "Ying... Ying! Ah—!!!"
Xie Nian couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Just now, a gold needle pierced her throat, completely destroying her vocal cords.
Xie Nian had at least fifty or sixty gold and silver needles inserted into her body, each of which sealed one of her acupoints.
But she was still alive.
It was at this moment that Xie Nian finally understood a sentence—
Never mess with a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
"Since you enjoy playing, then play as much as you like." Ying Zijing remained expressionless, flicked her finger, and another golden needle shot out. "Choose a spot?"
Under this torment, Xie Nian's spirit was finally crushed, and she collapsed instantly.
demon!
Ying Zijing, she's a devil too!
As new silver and gold needles were inserted, Xie Nian's hearing and vision gradually disappeared.
She can no longer hear or see, but she is not dead yet.
At this moment, Xie Nian had no other thoughts but endless regret that overwhelmed her heart.
Meanwhile, on this side...
"Damn it!" Xie Kongming finally got up from the ground, his expression cold. "You brat, you're asking for death!"
The Xie family must kill both of these geniuses!
Otherwise, the consequences will be dire.
Xie Kongming raised his hand, clenched it into a claw, and attacked Fu Yunshen directly.
Fu Yunshen stood in the air, arms crossed, raising his eyebrows slightly.
He didn't move, he just raised his hand.
He simply waved his hand gently, without intentionally releasing any internal force or pressure.
"Swish!"
Behind the man, the lake surface suddenly trembled.
A giant wave, ten feet high, suddenly rose up, causing upheaval.
Compared to the giant wave before them, the water wall Xie Nian had just conjured was nothing more than a child's play, a mere drop in the ocean.
Then, the ten-zhang-high giant wave left the lake and turned into hundreds of water arrows.
Xie Kongming's expression changed, and he roared: "A mere trick!"
He unleashed his inner strength, which erupted violently.
"Snap!"
Huge boulders were moved from the mountain beside Lake Akiha and smashed directly into it.
"Bang! Bang!"
Jiang Ran couldn't help but gasp: "Hiss..."
This was the first time he had seen Fu Yunshen truly make a move.
Jiang Ran knew that when one's ancient martial arts cultivation reached more than two hundred years, one's internal strength was perfected, making one much more powerful than an ordinary ancient martial arts master.
While it may not be able to move mountains or overturn seas, it is certainly capable of alarming a region.
This is the real battle of the titans.
But compared to Xie Kongming's flushed face, Fu Yunshen didn't even breathe abnormally.
The difference between the two is immediately apparent.
Xie Kongming, also a master of ancient martial arts with perfected internal strength, was suppressed by Fu Yunshen to the point of having no power to fight back and had to retreat repeatedly.
He can barely take care of himself, so how can he have the time to care about Xie Nian?
"Who do you want to kill?" Fu Yunshen raised his eyelids, his smile as devilish as a demon's. "Come and try?"
He raised his eyes slightly, his slender fingers clenching.
He just threw a punch right out of the air!
"Bang!"
Xie Kongming let out a bloodcurdling scream, extremely shrill.
Suddenly, a burst of blood erupted from his left chest, and streams of blood flowed down.
Even a martial arts master wouldn't survive with their heart shattered.
Xie Kongming stared wide-eyed, his body falling uncontrollably downwards with a "plop" into the water.
Many people are buried in Lake Akiha.
Now, there is another ancestor of the Xie family.
The Xie family head trembled violently, his lips quivering, almost foaming at the mouth: "Ancestor Kongming... is... dead?!"
One punch to kill a grandmaster!
Or he is a martial arts master who has cultivated ancient martial arts for more than two hundred years and whose internal strength has been greatly mastered!
What kind of strength is this?
On the viewing platform, gasps of astonishment rose and fell.
The ancient martial arts practitioners were completely dumbfounded.
"Don't look at me." Fu Yunshen flicked his clothes, curled his lips, and said calmly, "Look at the arena."
He took a step back and sat down directly in mid-air, his back long and straight.
Only then did everyone look at the arena in a daze.
Upon seeing this, their expressions became even more horrified.
Xie Nian was covered in blood.
It's impossible to recognize her original appearance at all.
How ruthless!
But they also knew that this was far from enough compared to what Xie Nian had done in the past.
The ancient martial arts practitioners who had been humiliated by Xie Nian felt only pleasure.
It's just a case of what goes around comes around; they deserve it.
After Ying Zijin finished inserting all the gold needles, she gripped Xie Nian's throat again.
The Xie family head, his eyes bloodshot with rage, roared, "Stop! Stop it!!!"
He wanted to go forward, but Fu Yunshen had blocked all the seats on the Xie family's side with his internal energy, so he couldn't move at all.
On the silent arena, only a crisp "crack" could be heard.
That's the sound of bones breaking.
Xie Nian's leg gave way, his head slumped down, and he was completely lifeless.
Ying Zijin let go of his hand.
Xie Nian's body fell heavily to the ground, with no chance of getting up again.
Xie Nian of the Xie family, a half-step ancient martial arts master... is dead!
"..."
Dead silence, utter dead silence.
This is the first time the Xie family has been suppressed to such an extremely frustrating degree.
The Xie family has always been the ones bullying and killing other martial arts practitioners, but now it's the other way around—they're being killed without any chance to fight back.
The Xie family head cried out in a frenzy, "You're finished! Finished! I'm telling you, you're all finished!"
"Once our ancestor emerges from seclusion, you're all finished! I'm telling you, our ancestor will wipe out the entire ancient martial arts world, he definitely will!"
Fu Yunshen looked up: "It's so noisy."
He waved his hand, and a light, floating burst of internal energy pierced directly through the Xie family head's chest.
The head of the Xie family swayed and then collapsed.
His ancient martial arts skills weren't even at the level of a grandmaster, so he couldn't withstand it at all.
Another member of the Xie family has died.
The scene was quiet for a while.
Fu Yunshen darted forward and grabbed the girl's waist: "Yaoyao, let's go, let's go back first."
The two left together, and no one dared to stop them.
But everyone knew that after Ying Zijing and Fu Yunshen's reputation as geniuses spread throughout the ancient martial arts world, the world was about to descend into complete chaos.
**
The Ling family.
Ling Mianxi was still asleep, but her face had regained a lot of color.
Nie Yi had only been there a short time and had been staying by her bedside ever since.
He had never seen Ling Mianxi so quiet before, with so many injuries on her body.
It really breaks my heart.
Nie Yi silently covered Ling Mianxi with the blanket, and then the door was pushed open.
He turned around and stood up: "Yun Shen, you..."
"Let's not talk about anything else. Let's get Mianxi out of the Ancient Martial Arts World first," Ying Zijin said directly. "The Ancient Martial Arts World is no longer safe."
Nie Yi carefully picked up Ling Mianxi, his brows furrowing slightly: "Miss Ying, Yun Shen, you shouldn't stay here any longer today..."
With Xie Nianyi's death, the Xie family was thrown into chaos.
Xie Huanran is about to emerge from seclusion, but Feng Xiu has not yet been found.
Who can stop Xie Huanran?
Even ancient martial arts masters of Xie Huanran's caliber have secluded places where they cultivate in seclusion.
Ying Zijing turned her head: "He's right, you should leave."
"And what about you?" Fu Yunshen tightened his grip on her wrist. "You're not going to tell me you're going to do what you used to do?"
Ying Zijin remained silent.
She knew that Fu Yunshen was referring to the story she had told her about dying for her best friend in the spiritual cultivation world.
“No matter what, I can’t leave.” Ying Zijing paused, “I…”
“Yes, so I’m not leaving either.” Fu Yunshen interrupted her calmly. “I’ll stay with you.”
"..."
"Forget it." Ying Zijin sighed softly, "Let's send everyone from the Ling family out together, and then wipe out the Xie family."
Xie Huanran hasn't come out of seclusion yet, which actually presents a great opportunity.
Fu Yunshen did not let go of her hand; instead, he gripped it even tighter: "Let's go."
The Ling family packed all their belongings overnight and more than 700 people moved together to the entrance of the Ancient Martial Arts World.
But the Xie family's guards had already blocked their way.
"Ying Zijin, you still want to run?" An old man stepped forward and sneered, "Let me tell you, none of you are going anywhere. You all have to stay here!"
The expressions of the Ling family members all changed.
Ying Zijing raised her hand: "No need to panic."
The old man, enraged, waved his hand and shouted, "Attack!"
However, the first few dozen guards who rushed forward were suddenly slapped away in mid-air.
The old man's expression changed, and he suddenly looked up.
"Gentlemen of the Xie family, if you wish to spare their lives, you should at least ask for my opinion, shouldn't you?"
The voice arrived before the person.
Its imposing presence is overwhelming.
