After blocking Xing Han’s sword slash, Xiao Tian swiftly twisted his wrist with agility. The sword, previously used to block Xing Han’s attack, became a deadly strike aimed at Xing Han’s abdomen.
Bang— “Ugh...” Xing Han was thrown several meters away. After stabilizing himself, he suddenly spat out blood from his mouth. Xing Han glared at Xiao Tian viciously while wiping his blood. “Kid, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to have such strength. Now, you won’t have another chance to defend yourself!” Xing Han released his true aura. Now, everyone could feel Xing Han's power. “Damn, this kid Xing Han has a massive amount of inner energy, he's nearly a fourth-class warrior. What do we do? Tian is surely going to be defeated by him!” “Don’t panic, look at Tian’s face. Even though that guy revealed his power, Tian is still very calm. It means Tian has a way to deal with him.” Many people doubted Xiao Tian, while some remained optimistic about the boy. “Kid, now it’s time to end this fight!” Xing Han shouted, igniting a burning fighting spirit within himself. He raised his sword high, channeling all the energy in his body. Suddenly, a tremendous energy burst from Xing Han’s sword, making the wind around the arena chaotic. His sword gleamed, indicating the power ready to destroy the opponent before him. “DANCE OF A HUNDRED SWORDS!” Xing Han yelled, initiating his ultimate attack. In an instant, hundreds of sword shadows appeared around him, moving rapidly and unstoppably. Seeing Xing Han using the sword skill of the Boundless Valley, Gan Feng smiled proudly. “That boy named Tian is going to die. This is the third most powerful sword technique below the level of a heavenly king warrior. Even an earth king warrior would struggle against this sword technique. Xing Han is very talented; even though he's only 15 years can already perform this technique.” Gan Feng grinned evilly. **** Seeing Xing Han’s potent attack, Xiao Tian was slightly intrigued by his sword technique. His eyes glowed slightly; if anyone could see deep into Xiao Tian’s eyes, they would be astonished, for there seemed to be thousands of stars shining within them. Xing Han attacked fiercely, but Xiao Tian still hadn’t drawn his sword. He could dodge Xing Han’s attacks with ease. Xiao Tian even offered advice as Xing Han attacked. “Your sword skill is strong, but you lack power when using it. You also aren’t smooth when changing the rhythm of your attacks, even though the sword technique you mentioned could become deadly. “Bastard, if you can use a sword technique, do it! Don’t just criticize me!” Xing Han was furious; his opponent could always predict the direction of his attacks easily. He was extremely angry. At this moment, Xing Han received a lecture from an opponent far younger than himself. Xing Han’s lungs felt like they would explode from his rage. Seeing Xing Han’s increasingly substantial but unsubstantial attacks, Xiao Tian lost interest in continuing the fight. Xiao Tian, who had only been dodging, now began to attack. He had lost interest in fighting. The boy played with his sword still in its sheath, twisting it and then slashing at Xing Han’s wrist. Slash— “Ahh…” Xing Han screamed in pain, his sword flying out of his hand and landing far away. Xiao Tian appeared in front of Xing Han with an icy face; his kindness and calmness had vanished, replaced by a gaze that contained a hint of murderous intent. Splash— Splash— Xiao Tian slapped Xing Han’s face violently. He continuously delivered several slaps, and finally, Xiao Tian kicked Xing Han’s waist hard. Bang— Crack— Xing Han wasn’t just thrown far; his ribs were shattered. He vomited blood continuously. All his strength disappeared; he no longer could stand. Xiao Tian walked slowly toward Xing Han; his cold expression terrified the man. “What is this?” People stared at each other in disbelief. Not only Gan Feng, the patriarch of the Boundless Valley, but even the people of the Supreme Sword Sect didn’t expect such an outcome. People have now changed their views of Xiao Tian. Those who had always thought the boy had no talent and was very lazy about practicing martial arts found out he was not a lazy person. Xiao Tian said he was skilled but had not wanted to showcase himself until now. Xing Han looked at Xiao Tian in horror. “Don’t come near me! Stay away from me!” Xing Han tried to stand but was utterly powerless. Xing Han lay helplessly on the ground, his body full of wounds and blood. Xiao Tian, who had been walking casually, suddenly felt anger. In an instant, his body shook, and he appeared before Xing Han with incredible speed. Baang— Xiao Tian’s hard kick landed on Xing Han’s body, sending him flyback several metersng. Han’s ribs weren’t just broken; they shattered into pieces. Intense pain flooded his entire body, making Xing Han scream in agony. After that, Xiao Tian didn’t stop. He ran again and arrived in front of Xing Han once more. Then he stepped on Xing Han’s chest. “Stop!” Gan Feng stood and shouted. A fighting aura and a hint of murderous intent emanated from his body. However, Xiao Tian ignored him. Instead, he glared at Gan Feng with sharp eyes. “Old man, why are you stopping me? What did I do wrong?” Seeing Xiao Tian’s gaze, Gan Feng felt he wasn’t looking at a 9-year-old boy. There was a strange feeling seeping into his body. He felt like a god of death was staring at him.Gan Feng lowered his voice. “Young Tian. This is just a spar, why are you acting so ruthlessly?” Xiao Tian smiled slightly with a cold face. “Old man, how can you call me ruthless? I want to secure my victory. Who knows, your student might still have a hidden card to face me because until now, I haven’t heard your student say the word 'surrender.'” Hearing Xiao Tian’s words, everyone had the same thought. “Patriarch Gan Feng, what Tian said is true. Xing Han hasn’t uttered the word 'surrender,' so Tian’s actions can’t be considered ruthless. He’s just securing his victory.” The elder beside Fa Wa spoke with an innocent face, making Gan Feng want to vomit blood. Gan Feng’s face turned from blue to purple. He was thoroughly humiliated there. He came to offend the Supreme Sword Sect, who knew he would get the opposite result. Xiao Tian’s foot was still on Xing Han’s chest, and now he realized how terrifying the boy was. Xing Han wanted to say 'surrender.' But just as his lips
Nu Muyun felt horrified seeing Xiao Tian easily defeat his opponents. He glanced at his friends, who also looked worried, and said fearfully, "I never thought he was that strong. I'm afraid Tian will come after me for revenge for always insulting him."His friends exchanged worried looks, recalling the times they also bullied Xiao Tian. They tried to hide their fear, but it was evident from the cold sweat on their faces. They realized that if Xiao Tian wanted revenge, they wouldn't be able to face him.However, Xiao Tian seemed indifferent to their feelings. He walked steadily, his face calm and cold, not glancing at Nu Muyun and his friends. He went straight to sit behind Fa Wa and began regulating his breath as if nothing had happened.Ziyan Rouxi immediately grabbed Xiao Tian's hand, smiling alluringly at him. "Brother Tian, you've been hiding your strength from your sister. This is unpleasant."Xiao Tian only responded with a smile. Fa Wa didn't say anything. He stood up to announ
Xiao Tian did not want to tell Fa Wa that he had very special eyes. Whatever he saw, Xiao Tian would immediately memorize, and not only that, he could also see flaws in every writing."Grandfather, I don’t understand why you asked that. Because I think, if other people also read as often as I do, they would be able to memorize too."Fa Wa smiled. "Tian, not everyone can memorize what they read. Your ability to memorize shows how smart you are. Now, I want to see if you can practice the basic sword technique of our Supreme Sword Sect."Xiao Tian nodded. "Alright, Grandfather. I will practice it. If I make any mistakes, don’t hesitate to correct me."Xiao Tian took a wooden sword, the kind usually used by children for practice. Seeing Xiao Tian take the wooden sword, Fa Wa didn’t stop him. He wanted to see if Xiao Tian's sword skills were good or not. If they were good, he would give a real sword to his adopted grandson.With the wooden sword in hand, Xiao Tian began to display the basi
Xiao Tian began to swallow a dark green pill. “I’ll start with the bone-cleansing pill. I must eliminate all impurities in my bones. Once the impurities are gone, I can reshape my bones with the second pill.”Xiao Tian stared at the dark green pill with strong determination. With a steady hand, he put the pill into his mouth and swallowed it. At first, nothing happened, but soon, a sharp pain began to spread from his bones.His face grimaced, biting his lip to endure the intensifying pain. Cold sweat started to drench his forehead as Xiao Tian struggled to remain calm.Slowly, the pain became more intense, as if thousands of needles were scraping away the impurities clinging to his bones. His breath grew ragged as he tried to withstand the nearly unbearable pain.For four days, Xiao Tian fought against the unbearable pain. Cold sweat poured from his face, dripping like corn kernels, while thick black liquid oozed from his pores, staining his pale skin. That liquid was the impurities f
The other nine looked at each other in disbelief. "Impossible, how could a small boy like him kill our friend?" one of them said, his trembling voice breaking the silence. His face showed deep disbelief as if the reality was too absurd to accept. However, before he could continue speaking, one of the group quickly cut him off, “Be careful, don’t underestimate our opponent even if he’s just a small boy. Five of you follow me to kill the boy who killed our friend, while the rest of you three, finish off the boy hiding behind him!” Seeing that Xiao Tian and Daniel were about to be attacked, Liu Qingyun tried to break free. "Liu Qingyun, don't expect to save that child! I've anticipated your full strength, you won't be able to escape me to help him," shouted one of the strongest men towards Liu Qingyun. However, what he didn’t know was that as the six men were about to attack Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian stood motionless, recalling the whole incident when his parents were surrounded by many
When the man disappeared, he didn't know that even though his face was covered by a mask, his features were visible to Xiao Tian's sharp eyes. However, Xiao Tian chose not to inform Liu Qingyun about it, as what he saw was something others couldn't perceive.Liu Qingyun, Shu Hen, and Daniel all stared at Xiao Tian simultaneously, their expressions filled with confusion and astonishment. Liu Qingyun, in particular, looked more serious than usual. “Tian, I don’t know what the patriarch has taught you. However, I must warn you. It’s not good for someone as young as you to have such a strong killing aura. If you continue to thirst for blood, won’t you be no different from the warriors of the black sects?”Receiving such a reprimand, Xiao Tian neither got angry nor offended. Instead, he gave a small smile, showing a rare calmness for someone his age. “Elder, I understand your concerns. However, I also have my reasons for why I cannot show mercy to them.”Xiao Tian's words were spoken with
Liu Qingyun led the way again. "We still have one more mountain to cross before we reach the city." Daniel, feeling curious as the imperial capital seemed very far to him, asked, "Elder, after we reach the city, is the journey to the She Imperial Capital still far?" Liu Qingyun shook his head. "It's still quite a distance. We have a long journey ahead. However, the patriarch does not want us to spend too much time on the road. Therefore, the patriarch gave me a lot of money so we could use transportation services. We will use a ship to expedite our journey to the imperial capital." “Rooaarr!” While they were engaged in conversation, they were suddenly confronted by a pack of wild beasts. Five large tigers stood in their way. Three of them were at the Earth King Fighter realm level 1, while the other two were at the Earth King Fighter realm level 3. The tigers had muscular and robust bodies, with glossy black and orange stripes under the sunlight. Their eyes gleamed with fierc
Liu Qingyun looked at Xiao Tian in amazement, as the young boy was carrying the body of a tiger larger than himself. "This journey is full of surprises. Tian here spends his days sweeping and cleaning bookshelves. Who would have thought he had such hidden abilities? The patriarch is indeed fortunate to have found such an adopted grandson." Hearing Liu Qingyun's words, Shu Hen nodded in agreement.Xiao Tian began to clean the tiger meat, then gathered a large amount of firewood. Xiao Tian didn’t use tools to create fire. Instead, he converted his internal energy into the fire element. After several attempts, he finally succeeded in producing a flame from his palm. "It seems I need to practice more in the future. Now that I know how to convert internal energy into natural elements, it's still too weak; the element I changed isn't usable for fighting yet!"Xiao Tian took out many spices from his bag. It turned out he had prepared to cook during the journey.Not long after, Daniel woke up
