Chapter 90

A man's dignity is worth more than gold; how can he kneel? The Qiu family undoubtedly wanted to humiliate Xiao Yun in public.

"Want me to kneel? Then I'll make you kneel first."

Faced with Qiu Chen's overwhelming pressure, Xiao Yun was fearless. After a cold snort, his eyes narrowed, and a cold and fierce look appeared in them. A murky aura began to gather quietly.

The arrogance of the Qiu family cultivators stirred up a killing intent in Xiao Yun's heart.

However, upon hearing these words, the nearby cultivators were completely stunned. This young man's arrogance was growing, wasn't he afraid that his boasts would lead to his downfall? The other party was a True Essence Realm cultivator, yet he dared to make him kneel?

"Ignorant brat." Qiu Chen's eyes turned dark, and as his palms moved, a True Essence killing aura swept out like a hurricane.

This killing aura made the surroundings feel eerie and chilling.

"Qiu Chen is going to use the Yin Sha Palm."

"This Yin Sha aura is something even True Essence Realm cultivators will avoid!" The cultivators from various clans tightened their nerves, watching intently with a hint of mockery in their eyes. That young man was so bold; he would surely be turned into a pile of meat soon.

Yin Sha Illusory Cloud Palm!

Qiu Chen's eyes narrowed, and his palms moved, the killing aura swirling like clouds, forming a sky-like curtain pressing down.

"Extinguish the Soul!" However, just as Qiu Chen made his move, the young man's eyes narrowed, and his body moved like a snake, dodging to the side. A powerful soul force surged from his mind, invading Qiu Chen's brain.

With his strong perception, Xiao Yun could almost see the fluctuations of the essence energy around Qiu Chen.

Qiu Chen's frontal attack was powerful, and the essence energy formed a strong momentum. To invade his mind with soul force would face some resistance. So, at the moment Qiu Chen was about to attack, Xiao Yun moved to the side.

Buzz!

A powerful soul force turned into a thread, directly invading Qiu Chen's mind, making his soul tremble.

"Ah!" Qiu Chen let out a scream, his soul feeling as if pierced by a sharp needle, his head splitting with pain.

At this moment, Xiao Yun moved, circling behind Qiu Chen. He flipped his palm, and a soft sword appeared in his hand.

Swish! Swish!

Xiao Yun's sword was incredibly fast, truly piercing through the clouds and destroying the enemy. The sword light flashed, and Qiu Chen's legs buckled, forcing him to kneel.

Thud!

A dull sound echoed as Qiu Chen, in great pain, knelt on the ground in front of everyone. Upon closer inspection, the tendons behind his knees were severed, blood flowing freely. It was clear that his legs were crippled, and he could no longer fight.

A pungent smell spread, stimulating everyone's sense of smell.

"Am I seeing things? Qiu Chen actually knelt on the ground?"

"Heaven! Didn't Qiu Chen just attack to suppress that young man? How did he suddenly suffer such a disaster?" Not far away, the men who were waiting to see Qiu Chen suppress the bold young man all widened their eyes in shock. The scene before them was astonishing, and the exclamations immediately caused a commotion.

The cultivators from various clans were all shocked.

A True Essence Realm cultivator kneeling on the ground, what was this?

Huff!

After a moment, many people's eyes moved, all looking at the young man in front.

"What cultivation does this young man have?"

"Was it him who crippled Qiu Chen's legs just now?" Everyone muttered, feeling their hearts pounding.

This young man looked only sixteen years old, how could he have such strength?

The most shocked were the people of the Qiu family.

Everyone had been watching coldly, waiting for Xiao Yun to be crippled, but in an instant, the True Essence Realm cultivator of their clan was on the ground. Recalling the young man's words, the Qiu family felt a chill, feeling an inexplicable fear.

"Could he really have the strength to contend with a True Essence Realm cultivator?"

Otherwise, how could the young man have dared to retort and make Qiu Chen kneel?

"Brat, who are you, to dare to harm someone from the Qiu family here?" At the edge of the fire pit, another True Essence Realm cultivator from the Qiu family walked over. His eyes were cold, and after a glance at the kneeling Qiu Chen, he shouted.

This man was about forty years old, with a thick aura, also a True Essence Realm cultivator.

Seeing him appear, the other Qiu family cultivators gathered, staring coldly at Xiao Yun.

"He wanted to cripple me, should I just wait for him to make his move?" Xiao Yun raised an eyebrow, giving the True Essence Realm cultivator a faint glance.

"On the Qiu family's territory, how can you act so recklessly?" The man's eyes darkened, shouting, "Surround him!"

"Yes!" The Qiu family people quickly formed a circle, trying to trap Xiao Yun.

"Buzz!" However, at this moment, the fire pit below glowed, and the Heavenly Flame Mansion was clearly opened.

"The Heavenly Flame Legacy Mansion is open."

"Old Master Qiu Xuanfeng has entered."

"Our clan elders have also entered." The cultivators from various clans exclaimed, all showing excitement.

"Is the Heavenly Flame Mansion open?" Xiao Yun's eyes narrowed, looking at the Qiu family people surrounding him, a coldness appearing in his eyes. For him, the Heavenly Flame Mansion was a rare opportunity, crucial for his cultivation improvement.

This would also directly affect his future development.

"Do you also want to enter the Heavenly Flame Mansion?" The Qiu family cultivator's eyes were cold, "I'll kill you first and throw you into the sea of fire."

Saying this, his eyes darkened, and he immediately attacked.

Heavenly Sun Hand!

His eyes darkened, and his hands glowed with golden light, like a rising sun, emitting a blinding light.

This giant hand, like a blazing sun, flashed in the air, pressing down on Xiao Yun.

This was a mid-True Essence Realm cultivator's attack, causing the void to ripple.

Nearby, some innate realm cultivators were also stirring, ready to attack and take advantage of the situation to kill Xiao Yun.

"Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless." Xiao Yun's eyes darkened, and with a thought, he activated the Soul Extinguishing Spear.

Buzz!

A light flashed in his mind, and a divine spear appeared, carrying a terrifying soul force, making the void seem to solidify. The cultivators from various clans all fell silent, their minds buzzing, falling into a state of panic and confusion.

Faintly, everyone seemed to see a light piercing through the void, piercing through the Heavenly Sun Hand of the Qiu family's True Essence Realm cultivator.

Bang!

A dull sound echoed, the golden light dissipated, and the True Essence Realm cultivator's eyes showed fear, staring at the front. A life force was gradually fading, and he fell to the ground. Upon closer inspection, his back of the head was pierced through.

With one successful strike, Xiao Yun retracted the Soul Extinguishing Spear into his mind.

This attack also consumed a lot of soul force, but fortunately, the Qiu family no longer had a True Essence Realm cultivator in charge.

"Dead?" As the Soul Extinguishing Spear dissipated, the powerful soul pressure also vanished. The cultivators from various clans' eyes narrowed, immediately noticing the True Essence Realm cultivator lying on the ground. This discovery was like a bomb exploding.

"Heaven! This guy actually killed a True Essence Realm cultivator."

"What realm does he have?"

"How did I not see him attack?"

"Me too, my mind was shocked, like being hit by a thunderbolt. When I came to, it was already like this." Everyone looked at each other, expressing their shock. It was hard to imagine that such a young man could have this strength.

"Where is he from?" The True Essence Realm cultivators from various clans who were here to greet their clan members all had serious expressions.

They knew the strength of Qiu Chen and the other two, yet they were killed without a clear reason. Could they also face the same fate if they faced this young man? But in the entire Fengyue Kingdom, it was hard to find such a prodigious young man!

"Is he not from our Fengyue Kingdom?" Everyone was doubtful.

It was hard to find another explanation.

"The Qiu family is really unlucky, to encounter such a genius." Those who had previously criticized Xiao Yun for not knowing his place and suggested forcing the Qiu family to retreat now changed their expressions, mocking the Qiu family, thinking they had bad luck, why did they provoke this young man?

If they had let him enter the Heavenly Flame Pit via the Heavenly Ladder, it would have been fine.

Now, losing two True Essence Realm cultivators, the cost was significant, even for their large clans.

After killing one person, Xiao Yun did not stay, but walked forward. The Heavenly Flame Mansion was now open, and the elders from various clans were entering one by one. He could not fall behind, as no one knew what restrictions or legacies were inside the Heavenly Flame Legacy Mansion.

"You killed my clan member and think you can just walk away?" Seeing Xiao Yun walk towards the fire pit without looking back, several innate realm Qiu family members led a group to attack. There were more than ten of them, not very strong, but some were late innate realm, making them quite troublesome if they attacked together.

The blade light was shocking, the sound of breaking the air making the void tremble.

"Simply asking for death." Xiao Yun's eyes turned cold, and his palms moved, a purple light suddenly flashing.

Fire Cloud Palm!

The fire light flickered, burning the void, forming a purple cloud-like mist, pressing down.

Although the Fire Cloud Palm had not reached the power to destroy a region, it was still formidable.

This was not only because Xiao Yun had reached the late innate realm, but also because the Purple Flame Martial Soul was extraordinary, not comparable to ordinary essence energy.

Bang!

The giant palm collided with the blade light, releasing a terrifying heat, immediately throwing the two leading men flying.

"Is this fire?" The nearby people were stunned, staring at the young man in front with surprise.

Even the Qiu family members who followed were also surprised.

Xiao Yun did not pay attention to their surprised expressions. He gave the Qiu family members a faint glance, his eyes narrowing, and a green mist surged from his mind, spreading towards the Qiu family members.

"What is this?" As the mist spread, the Qiu family members were stunned.

"Bad, it's poison mist."

"Hold your breath quickly." After inhaling a few times, someone immediately realized something was wrong and warned the nearby clan members.

"What, it's poison mist?" The cultivators from various clans were also on guard, quickly holding their breath to avoid poisoning.

At the same time, their eyes looking at the young man became somewhat strange.

Just now, this young man used a fire martial technique and poison. How could he know so many things?

Unconsciously, the cultivators from various clans became more wary of this young man, marking him as a dangerous person. They also secretly rejoiced that they had not oppressed this young man, or they might have faced the same fate as the Qiu family.
