Chapter 9

Fang Kun sneered coldly, fully mobilizing the primordial energy within his body, transforming it into a powerful force to impact the restrained area. Such a powerful force was enough to shatter the bones of a cultivator at the sixth level of Body Tempering.

However, just as Fang Kun thought Xiao Yun's fingers would be broken, his brows furrowed, and his eyes revealed a look of horror as he stared at the young man with fear, "How can you have such a powerful force? Have you reached the seventh level of Body Tempering?"

Xiao Yun tightly held the other's wrist without answering, but his fingers tightened, gripping like an iron clamp. Suddenly, the sound of bones breaking was heard, and Fang Kun's face contorted in pain, with the tendons in his wrist severed.

"Ah!" Fang Kun screamed, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, and his hands hanging limp.

Without the best tendon-repairing powder, Fang Kun's wrist would be considered useless, unable to bully others with his strength again.

This pig-slaughtering-like howl almost startled everyone nearby.

"Big Brother Wei, has he reached the seventh level of Body Tempering?" The young men of the Fang family all looked surprised, staring at the leading young man.

"Perhaps." Fang Wei's eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing, "If he hadn't reached the seventh level of Body Tempering, how could he have resisted Fang Kun?"

"Let the two of you try." After a brief moment of thought, Fang Wei said to the two young men beside him.

"Yes!" These two young men were at the peak of the seventh level of Body Tempering, about to step into the eighth level.

"Xiao Yun, take this punch!" The two young men of the Fang family quickly approached Xiao Yun, attacking from both sides. One punched, the other struck with a palm, aiming at his chest, abdomen, and waist. The attacks were extremely ruthless, and if hit, he would surely be paralyzed.

Seeing the two from the Fang family attack together, Xiao Yun no longer took it lightly. He loosened his hand, placing the bag on the ground. Then, his eyes narrowed, scanning the two young men from the Fang family. A cold expression appeared on his face, and he suddenly attacked.

Xiao Yun's hands moved swiftly, striking from both sides. Before the two young men could get close, he had already met their attack. Then, his fists and palms collided, creating a fierce impact. The Fang family members couldn't help but feel a chill.

"This waste of a man thinks he can withstand the combined attack of two peak seventh-level Body Tempering cultivators with his own strength? What a delusion." A few young men watching with crossed arms sneered, their eyes full of disdain.

Some nearby people also frowned, thinking Xiao Yun's actions were too reckless.

Everyone knew this young man was only at the sixth level of Body Tempering. Even if he had broken through by chance, what could he do?

However, just as everyone watched the young man with indifference, the two sides' fists and palms collided fiercely.

Bang! Bang!

Two muffled sounds echoed, accompanied by a fierce wind. The powerful force of the seventh level of Body Tempering erupted like a hurricane, stirring up dust. Just as everyone thought the young man would be in trouble, a scorching heat suddenly enveloped the area.

"Too hot!"

The nearby people looked at each other, puzzled by the sudden increase in temperature, feeling as if their skin was being burned.

Ah!

Just as everyone's faces were filled with shock, two惨叫声几乎同时响起。

"What's happening!" The young men of the Fang family stared wide-eyed at the front.

Because those two惨叫声 were all too familiar to them.

They saw two figures flash, and the two young men of the Fang family were directly pushed back seven meters.

"Two peak seventh-level Body Tempering cultivators couldn't withstand a single blow?"

"Isn't Xiao Yun a waste?"

"What's going on? Has he regained his talent?" The people nearby all looked stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief. Everyone knew that Xiao Yun hadn't made any progress for eight years!

How could he suddenly defeat two people?

"What martial technique did you use?" The two young men of the Fang family, after stabilizing themselves, couldn't help but exclaim. If you looked closely, their fists and palms were black and charred, emitting a smell of being grilled, as if they had been placed in a fierce fire.

The young men of the Fang family watching this scene were also stunned.

"Xiao Yun must have reached the seventh level of Body Tempering!"

"Has he also cultivated some powerful martial technique?" At this moment, everyone had these thoughts.

Otherwise, how could a mere sixth-level Body Tempering cultivator defeat two seventh-level Body Tempering cultivators?

"Impossible, a mere Body Tempering realm cultivator can't cultivate such terrifying martial techniques."

Fang Wei's face was solemn, "Could Xiao Yun's talent have returned?" At this thought, his heart skipped a beat, feeling a sense of unease.

If this young man's talent returns, who in the entire Ziyun County City can compete with him?

"No, I can't let him grow!" Fang Wei's face gradually turned grim, his eyes filled with malice.

Xiao Yun didn't find it surprising to have defeated the two seventh-level Body Tempering cultivators.

First, over the past eight years, he had been diligently cultivating, spending ten times the effort of others. He had long become proficient in these low-level martial techniques. Moreover, with the scorching fire primordial energy he had fused from his martial soul, how could those two withstand his attacks?

After defeating the two, Xiao Yun bent down to pick up the bag on the ground, preparing to leave.

After several rounds of channeling, the toxins in his body began to become uncontrollable, and he needed to resolve them as soon as possible.

"Good opportunity!" At this moment, Fang Wei, with a sinister look, suddenly took a step forward, aiming a palm at Xiao Yun, intending to take advantage of the situation to cripple him, so that their Fang family wouldn't have to fear this genius rising again.

This way, a potential threat would be eliminated.

Just as Xiao Yun bent down, his eyelids twitched, sensing a powerful force coming through the air.

"Still not giving up!" Xiao Yun's eyes turned cold, and he turned around sharply. Seeing Fang Wei approaching, a murderous intent appeared in his eyes, "Fang Wei, you're asking for death!" He then focused his eyes and swung his palm to meet the young man.

"Ask for death?" Fang Wei sneered, "A waste of a man like you dares to speak such nonsense?"

Xiao Yun said nothing, only secretly channeling his martial soul, then met Fang Wei's palm with his own.

Bang!

At the point where their palms met, a fierce wind rose, and a sonic boom echoed. Then, a powerful force came, causing Xiao Yun's body to tremble as if hit by a huge wave. He was thrown back and landed awkwardly.

A trace of blood also seeped from the corner of Xiao Yun's mouth.

"The eighth level of Body Tempering is indeed formidable!" Xiao Yun felt his internal qi and blood churning, thinking to himself.

"Turns out you're only at the seventh level of Body Tempering. I thought you were much stronger." After the palm clash with Xiao Yun, Fang Wei remained unmoved, his brows raised, and he sneered, "You have injured several of my clan members. Today, I will cripple you to prevent you from causing more harm."

Although he knew Xiao Yun was only at the seventh level of Body Tempering, the thought of his terrifying talent from years ago made his killing intent rise.

Thud! Thud!

Fang Wei, with a sinister look, stepped forward, intending to cripple Xiao Yun to eliminate any future threats.

"Haha, Xiao Yun is finished." The young men of the Fang family all wore mocking smiles.

"Little Wei, make sure he suffers!" The other injured young men shouted with malice.

"Sigh, what a pity. He was once a brilliant prodigy, but now he has come to this end."

"Who would have thought? If Xiao Yun had maintained his talent from back then, who in the entire Ziyun County City could compete with him?" Some of the onlookers sighed, feeling a sense of sorrow for the young man's fate.

"I cause harm?" Xiao Yun stood up, laughing to the sky, "Fang Wei, you're too shameless."

"But it's a pity, you want to cripple me, but you're far from it." He ignored the approaching Fang Wei, picked up the bag from the ground, and slung it over his shoulder, seemingly not preparing to fight the aggressive young man.

"Does Xiao Yun have some hidden card?" The onlookers looked around, puzzled.

"There's no one from the Xiao family here!" Soon, they shook their heads, their confusion deepening.

They didn't believe Xiao Yun could handle Fang Wei.

Ah!

However, at this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly rang out. Fang Wei, who had been aggressively approaching Xiao Yun, suddenly let out a scream and fell backward, landing on the street, his body convulsing.

"Little Wei, what's wrong?" The young men of the Fang family were startled and quickly rushed over.

The onlookers also looked puzzled, not understanding what was happening.

Fang Wei lay on the ground, convulsing, his veins protruding, and his face turning ashen.

"It's poison, Little Wei is poisoned!" A young man from the Fang family exclaimed, realizing why Fang Wei had suddenly fallen.

"What? Little Wei is poisoned!" The other young men of the Fang family all gasped.

"How is this possible? Who used poison just now?"

Fang Wei had only exchanged a palm strike with Xiao Yun, how did he get poisoned?

"Save me, save... me!" Fang Wei's body convulsed, his vision blurring, and he muttered.

"What should we do?" The young men of the Fang family looked at each other, at a loss.

"Xiao Yun, did you poison our Little Wei?" An older young man glared at Xiao Yun and shouted.

"Those who don't want to die will get out of my way!" Xiao Yun's eyes narrowed, his gaze sharp, making the young man from the Fang family tremble and step back. Even Fang Wei, at the eighth level of Body Tempering, had been caught off guard, so how could he dare to act rashly?

Xiao Yun walked steadily forward, ignoring the gazes of the young men from the Fang family. As he passed by the convulsing Fang Wei, his eyes narrowed, "I said, if you want to cripple me, you're far from it."

Fang Wei's vision gradually blurred, but a trace of fear could still be seen in his eyes.

Seeing Xiao Yun approach, the young men of the Fang family immediately stepped back, not daring to get too close.

This sudden change also left the onlookers stunned.

After a sideways glance at the increasingly blurred Fang Wei, Xiao Yun's eyes swept the surroundings, and he said firmly, "I, Xiao Yun, am no longer that mediocre young man. Whoever dares to insult me, bully me, or slander me, this is their fate!"

The young man's cold words, though young, carried a commanding presence. Everyone nearby was shaken by his words, as if witnessing a new star rising, feeling a sense of awe.
