Chapter 61: Chapter 60: Bad Reputation (Congratulations to the Satan Lord under the Moonlight!)_1 Chapter 61: Chapter 60: Bad Reputation (Congratulations to the Satan Lord under the Moonlight!)_1 “Good!”
Amidst the gasps of shock from the crowd, Fang Xi was the first to applaud and cheer.
“This Dai, truly blessed with unusual talent, has actually mastered the secret skills of my Mixed Origin True Skill!”
Fang Xi’s heart swelled with joy.
Being able to perform secret skills meant that it wouldn’t be a big problem for Dai to condense True Strength in the future.
Having carefully reviewed and addressed the gaps in his Mixed Origin True Skill, it had now become an ‘indestructible’ martial art!
Master Zhao from the sidelines, however, didn’t understand the joy in Fang Xi’s heart and unconsciously shifted his butt a little to the side, to maintain a distance from him.
As for the previous marriage proposal? That was him going mad and spouting nonsense!
The masters and apprentices of Youjian Martial Arts School were all madmen; it was better to keep a safe distance!
…
“How audacious, to dare kill my son? Hand over your life!”
In the private room, Ximen He, who had been smiling while watching the match, saw the explosive wound on his son’s back and how all his internal organs were showing in a gruesome death, first looked unbelieving, then furious!
With a roar, he smashed through the window and descended from the sky, striking out with his palm.
Qing Mu raised his hands to the sky, attempting to withstand the blow with a move similar to that of a “lifting cauldron” technique.
Bang!
He stumbled back seven steps, each step leaving a deep footprint on the platform surface. Suddenly his cheeks flushed red, and he spat out blood, “True Strength?!”
“Dare to kill my son, give your life to make amends, not just you, your family, your teachers… must all die!”
Ximen He was enraged like a madman, already a Martial Teacher in his cultivation; he was adding fuel to the fire by not being able to take down Qing Mu with one palm.
At that moment, he roared and with both palms unleashed True Strength, surging like tidal waves.
Slap!
The next instant, a figure flashed.
Fang Xi had already moved beside Qing Mu, grabbing Ximen He’s wrist, “You want to kill me? I simply cannot pretend I didn’t hear that!”
“Eh?”
Ximen He looked at Fang Xi in disbelief, feeling that the True Strength he had practiced for many years was up against an impenetrable wall and no matter what, he couldn’t break through!
“A Martial Teacher? How is this possible?”
Ordinary martial arts schools only taught third-rate martial arts; becoming a real strength warrior was the limit!
Only a major martial arts school like Gale Martial Arts School would teach second-rate martial arts, allowing martial artists to break through to Martial Teacher and refine True Strength!
But wasn’t Youjian Martial Arts School a rundown establishment?
How could this be?
Before he could react, he saw Fang Xi’s smile gradually turning cold.
Crack!
Fang Xi exerted force with his palm, crushing Ximen He’s wrist bones directly.
Then, he launched a kick, squarely hitting Ximen He’s chest.
“Spurt!”
Ximen He’s chest caved in, blood mixed with his organs spewing from his mouth, and his corpse flew down from the platform, landing beside his son.
“He’er?”
A roar came from the shattered private room.
Sir Xi Men watched the deaths of his son and grandson, his palms crushing the pipe to pieces, his eyes looking like they could devour someone!
“This is bad!”
At that moment, the principals of other martial arts schools below the platform watched the two corpses side by side, with cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads.
“What’s happening? How did it suddenly come to this?”
Zhang Mingding was somewhat stunned.
“It was Ximen Zhong who made the deadly move first, then was killed in retaliation… Ximen He, blinded by anger and bullying the weaker, was then beaten to death… It’s really… met with a tough nut to crack.”
Mu Canglong slowly exhaled a breath, “But sometimes… no, most of the time, Gale Martial Arts School might not be reasonable!”
“This young man, he has also reached the level of Martial Teacher, and Youjian Martial Arts School actually has a Martial Teacher’s ultimate skill inheritance!?”
“This is bad, Sir Xi Men once was the top expert of the Military Alliance, his very True Strength cultivation has long since reached the level of ‘iron bones and steel tendons’…”
“Heh, there’s a good show to watch now.”
The principals of the schools below had various expressions on their faces.
…
“Old man Xi Men, what are you yelling about?”
Fang Xi, faced with Sir Xi Men’s cannibalistic gaze, just casually cleaned his ear, “Once on the platform, the life and death contract is signed, you can’t blame anyone for being killed. Your son bullied the weak and broke the rules first; I showed restraint by only killing him. I still have not settled the account with you!”
“Hmph!”
Sir Xi Men clenched his fist tightly, seemingly about to strike at any moment.
But he never actually jumped onto the platform.
Fists fear the strong young!
He was already old and moreover, his vision was sharp.
Even though he was an iron-boned, steel-tendoned Three-step Martial Teacher, his chances against the young Martial Teacher below, who easily killed his son and was at least a Two-step practitioner, weren’t great.
If a life and death fight broke out, he wasn’t sure he could win!
Even though a Martial Teacher could lock in the energy and blood to maintain bodily functions, alas… his heart was in the twilight of his life.
This was his biggest flaw!
And even more so, Sir Xi Men had an additional worry in his heart.
If… if by any chance this adversary was a top exalted master among Three-step Martial Teachers, then he absolutely could not make a move today.
Otherwise, the entire Gale Martial Arts School might be at stake!
Fortunately, the old fox had long made all the necessary preparations!
“Please, Young Master Qian, look at this… these murderers have bullied the old and frail, so strong and tyrannical, they have killed both my son and grandson…”
He quickly squeezed out two tears and turned to bow towards someone beside him, “Please vindicate this old man!”
Next to Sir Xi Men, unbeknownst when, there appeared a young man in splendid attire.
He wore a jade crown, dressed in a brocaded gown with golden cash patterns embroidered along the edges, his smile warm and with a lofty, noble family demeanor.
That ring of golden cash, it changed the complexion of every martial arts school principal present, “It’s the Qian Family!”
“The Qian Family is one of the four great noble families, could it be that they also wish to extend their reach into the martial arts world?”
“This Youjian Martial Arts School is in trouble…”
…
“I am Qian Qiming! I was invited today to participate in this grand event of martial arts schools.”
Qian Qiming had a gentle smile, not showing any superiority, his demeanor was as refreshing as a spring breeze: “It’s regrettable to witness two martial artists suffer this misfortune…”
“What? Is the Qian Family planning to stand up for the Gale Martial Arts School?”
Fang Xi let out a cold laugh, getting straight to the point.
The smile on Qian Qiming’s face froze; the man on stage was not playing by the usual rules at all.
Or rather, he was too direct!
Who would tear off the pretense right from the start, completely unafraid of the opponent’s family background?
After a pause, Qian Qiming’s smile also turned cold: “Qian is but a humble servant, currently holding the position of a legal official in the Prefecture Government. This gentleman and his disciples have killed someone, and by logic, should indeed take a trip to the government office…”
Matters of life and death are usually overlooked if the civilians do not report them, and if one were to strictly account for them, it still constitutes a crime!
Qian Qiming was clever, directly leveraging the authority of the government to intimidate others.
Which of the principals of martial arts schools present dares to defy the government?
This is the overwhelming trend; they could easily pin you as a criminal, and no matter how powerful your martial arts are, you would have no choice but to surrender!
Stubborn martial artists, Qian Qiming had seen plenty.
But what was their ultimate fate?
“Alas… What a pity.”
Mu Canglong sighed inwardly, feeling that this Principal Fang Leng would not meet a good end.
“Oh, the government, how scared I am!”
Fang Xi laughed coldly; at this moment, he finally knew what he truly wanted: “Mr. Qian, are you aware that you dared to step out with your left foot first when leaving the house? You’ve truly committed a grave taboo against me!”
“What are you talking about?”
Qian Qiming furrowed his brow, but an old servant by his side had turned pale, whispering a few words into his young master’s ear.
Qian Qiming’s legs suddenly went weak, his smile quickly twisted into a comical look of mourning: “May I ask… what relation… you have to that person?”
“I am Fang Leng. When I roamed the Martial World in the past, the elders and folks of Tri-element City honored me with the nickname ‘Sorrowful To A Ghost’.”
Fang Xi smiled coldly.
“Sorrowful To A Ghost!”
“It’s really him?!”
A person’s reputation, like a tree’s shadow!
In an instant, Backwind Building fell into a deathly silence!
Wasn’t the Huang Family of the four great noble families annihilated because they provoked this person?
And now, the Qian Family has encountered the same?
Qian Qiming’s complexion was deathly pale, looking as though he might faint at any moment.
“Sorrowful To A Ghost… Fang Leng?”
Sir Xi Men felt a bitter taste in his heart, as bitter as if he’d swallowed several jin of coptis chinensis.
Why would Ding State’s most notorious demon come here to open a martial arts school just for fun?
To trick people professionally?
The next moment.
Fang Xi had already approached him, standing almost face to face.
“Ah!”
Sir Xi Men had just thought of channeling his True Strength, but found that his body had lost strength, feeling very cold… very cold…
Seeing that ‘Sorrowful To A Ghost’, who had killed the former number one expert of the Military Alliance with a single move, an old servant behind Qian Qiming drew his weapon, a flash of ruthlessness appearing in his eyes.
Clang!
The next moment, a white light flashed.
“Ah!”
Qian Qiming let out a scream, his left foot had flown away, and blood was gushing out profusely.
“Does this satisfy you, sir?”
The old servant bowed deeply, asking with extreme humility.
As a son of a noble family, one enjoys glory in daily life, but when crucial times come, one must also be prepared to sacrifice for the family!
“Hahaha… The Qian Family is indeed much wiser than the Huang Family in recognizing the times, scram!”
Fang Xi waved his hand dismissively.
“Apprentice, let’s go!”
With a flicker, he had already left the loft, arriving beside Qing Sang and Qing Mu, leading the way out of Backwind Building.
All the principals of martial arts schools in the hall were rendered speechless as if a thousand horses had fallen silent!
…
“Master, are you really… the ‘Sorrowful To A Ghost’ who annihilated the Huang Family back then?”
Along the way, Qing Mu still looked dazed and said nothing.
In contrast, Qing Sang wore an expression of disbelief.
“Who’s spreading rumors? I did not annihilate the Huang Family. I merely killed a few and stole a bit, that’s all.”
Fang Xi continued as they walked.
It didn’t take long before they returned to Youjian Martial Arts School.
“But… Master, why did you break this peaceful life and admit you are ‘Sorrowful To A Ghost’?”
Suddenly, Qing Sang raised another question.
“Because your actions have given your master a demonstration… One should face their own heart directly.”
Fang Xi let out a hearty laugh: “What I pursue is unbounded freedom, why bother with pretense? Tonight… you all leave first, hmm, take the family of Sun Hongdie next door with you.”
Though the Qian Family apparently conceded, the matter from the past year might not be so easily resolved.
A great battle was bound to happen tonight!
If the flowers and plants were to be harmed in the process, it wouldn’t be good.
Fang Xi, his spirit more active than ever, felt his True Strength was almost bursting out of his body, naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
Besides, acting according to one’s heart and being unrestrained doesn’t mean seeking death.
If he really can’t win tonight… then he’d just grab the Black Cloud Cap and flee!
What’s the promotion to Grandmaster compared to his own life?
This too is his true nature!
