Chapter 9

"Taking my attack, how is that possible!"

Lan Fei’s eyes bulged, and he instantly lost his composure. He couldn’t believe it; even if he were a Warrior, let alone a Martial Disciple, the other party shouldn’t have been able to withstand a full-strength attack with twelve points of power! Could it be that this waste of a person had activated his meridians? But why couldn’t he sense any elemental energy fluctuations?

Not only was he shocked, but the more than ten people behind him were all staring with wide eyes, as if turned to stone!

Li Yunxiao suppressed a mouthful of hot blood in his chest and laughed wildly, "Haha, exhilarating! It’s been a long time since I’ve had a full-strength battle. Although the current situation is a bit strange, that sword just now was really exhilarating! Come, come, let me give you a few pointers!"

Let me give you a few pointers...

"Arrogant!" Lan Fei’s neck turned red with anger. Suppressing the shock in his heart, he raised his long sword in a rage. A stream of elemental energy blossomed on the black iron sword, and he shot up, sweeping his sword down, "Flowing Cloud Sword Slash!"

Martial Technique!

It was the Lan Family’s inherited martial technique—the Flowing Cloud Sword Art!

The more than ten people behind him all looked on in shock, and Du Feng screamed excitedly as if injected with adrenaline, "The sword flows like clouds, it’s the Flowing Cloud Sword Art! This kid is dead for sure!"

The Lan Family’s Flowing Cloud Sword Art was different from ordinary martial techniques sold on the market. It could only be cultivated by Warriors. With elemental energy infused, the sword’s light instantly intensified, like a blazing sun in the sky, making it hard to look directly at!

Lan Fei had been practicing this move constantly even when he was at the peak of the Martial Disciple stage. Now that he had broken through to the Warrior stage, he could finally unleash the full power of the Flowing Cloud Sword Art! His confidence swelled as he used the move.

I am now a true one-star Warrior, let’s see what you can do to block me!

"The Flowing Cloud Sword Art emphasizes the sword flowing like clouds, unobstructed, and executed with the heart’s intent, like flowing water. What is this? A glowing sword, like a candle! If you hadn’t shouted it out, I wouldn’t have recognized it as the Flowing Cloud Sword Art."

Li Yunxiao’s words almost made Lan Fei spit blood. He roared in anger, "Stop your boasting, I’ll take your life!"

The sword’s light slashed down, and it seemed that Li Yunxiao was about to be swallowed by the sword light. But he casually raised his black iron sword and nonchalantly pointed it out, muttering, "To get a few pointers from me, you’re lucky in this life."

"Clang!"

A clear, resonant sound, and the blinding light instantly dimmed. A black long sword flew up, slicing through the air, and with a "snap," it embedded itself in the ceiling!

A faint elemental energy flowed from the sword into Li Yunxiao’s body. He inwardly sneered, twisting his body in a strange posture. Intense pain surged from within, but the elemental energy was completely neutralized by this posture.

The entire venue fell silent...

"Pfft!"

Lan Fei stood there, dazed, his eyes vacant as he stared at his split palm. He didn’t even notice Li Yunxiao’s kick, only feeling a sharp pain in his chest, followed by a mouthful of blood as he was thrown out.

"How... how is this possible..."

Everyone’s minds went blank, their mouths agape, and the muscles in their necks stiffened, making it hard to move.

Lan Fei’s mind was a blank slate. It wasn’t until he felt a chill between his legs that he realized Li Yunxiao was holding a large sword, the tip just three inches from his private parts. If Li Yunxiao’s hand trembled slightly, he would be finished. He was so scared that his legs trembled uncontrollably, and a smell of urine filled the air. He almost cried out, "Don’t... don’t... take the sword away!"

"Take it away?" Li Yunxiao’s eyes turned cold, and he said coldly, "I don’t care about the past, but this time you injured Han Fatty and Chen Stick, and tried to kill me. Tell me, if I don’t castrate you, can I swallow this grudge?"

"Don’t... don’t... please, I’ll agree to anything you say, please spare me!" Lan Fei cried out, completely terrified. After all, he was just a fifteen-year-old boy, and the thought of being castrated made him lose his soul.

The more than ten students in the room, all in their teens and at the Martial Disciple level, watched as their usually domineering leader lay on the ground crying and wetting himself. No one felt it was shameful. Any man would be terrified to the core in such a situation.

A man without his manhood is worse than dead!

Especially when they glanced at Du Feng and Luo Jie, their faces turned pale, and they stood there, not daring to make a sound. Even a Warrior couldn’t defeat him, so they, as Martial Disciples, would have no chance even if they attacked together.

If it were in his previous life, he would have castrated all of them without a second thought. But now, his identity was different, and his strength was weak. Lan Fei was just a newly promoted Warrior with no combat experience, so he could easily win. If it were a seasoned Warrior or a higher-level Martial Master, he would have no chance of victory.

"If you want to keep your manhood, you can buy it with money."

"Money? I have, I have money!" Lan Fei clung to this lifeline, hurriedly trying to remove the storage ring from his finger, but the harder he tried, the more it wouldn’t come off.

"Troublesome!" Li Yunxiao’s large sword flashed, and a streak of blood spurted out. Lan Fei screamed as his finger and the ring flew off. Li Yunxiao grabbed the storage ring, scanned it with his divine sense, and then put it away, satisfied.

"What are you looking at? And you, if you want to keep your manhood, be more cooperative." Li Yunxiao’s gaze swept over them, and they all fell silent, quickly removing their storage rings and handing them over.

Lan Fei covered his severed finger and finally calmed down a bit, "Can we go now?"

Li Yunxiao’s gaze suddenly fell on a jade pendant hanging from Lan Fei’s waist. His heart skipped a beat, and he flicked his large sword, sending the jade pendant flying into his hand. His eyes lit up with surprise, and he said calmly, "This jade pendant is nice, I’ll take it."

Lan Fei’s face changed, and he hurriedly said, "You can have everything else, but not this jade pendant!" He was intimidated by Li Yunxiao’s cold gaze and quickly explained, "This is a jade pendant passed down through generations of our Lan Family. There are only five in total, each held by a core member of the family. It’s just a symbol of status. It’s of no use to you, but it’s extremely important to me!"

He was so anxious that cold sweat poured down his forehead. If he lost this, his family would skin him alive!

Li Yunxiao’s face turned cold, and he raised his sword, saying coldly, "Their things are too few, not enough to buy your manhood. I’ll give you back the jade pendant and castrate them. Or you can keep the jade pendant and take your manhood back."

The others were shocked and looked at Lan Fei with urgent eyes.

Lan Fei’s face turned extremely difficult. In his heart, the jade pendant was more important. But these more than ten people were from various families dependent on the Lan Family, including some direct descendants. If he chose the jade pendant and they were castrated by Li Yunxiao, he would be finished!

"Leader Lan!" Shangguan Qing finally couldn’t hold back and shouted.

Lan Fei’s face turned ashen, and he said in a deep voice, "Although this jade pendant is extremely important to me, compared to my brothers, it’s nothing! Let’s go!" He waved his hand, trying to look cool, but his crotch and pants were wet, and his face was purple with shame.

"Still putting on a show?" A killing intent flashed in Li Yunxiao’s eyes. He moved his sword in a strange angle, a cold blade piercing the air like lightning, aiming directly at Lan Fei’s throat.

Lan Fei was horrified to find himself completely locked by this tangible killing intent, unable to dodge. The bone-chilling killing intent invaded his body, and for the first time in fifteen years, he felt the presence of death.

He screamed in terror and instinctively grabbed the nearest person, Shangguan Qing, dragging him in front of him as a shield.

Shangguan Qing was shocked and tried to break free, but he was no match for the one-star Warrior Lan Fei and was effortlessly used as a shield.

"Zzz!"

The sword stopped, and Li Yunxiao drew a circle in the air, sheathing his sword and smiling faintly, "I was just joking with Young Master Fei, you can go."

"You!"

Lan Fei was almost spitting blood, and Shangguan Qing was already pale with fear, his legs trembling uncontrollably, and a smell of urine spreading from his legs.

Lan Fei’s face was so dark it could drip water, and Shangguan Qing’s expression turned gloomy, his head lowered in silence. He was almost bursting with anger! The Shangguan Family was the largest force dependent on the Lan Family, and Shangguan Qing was a direct descendant, his greatest support in the future! But he knew that from this moment on, this support was not only gone but could become his enemy in inheriting the family leadership!

He didn’t dare to say another word, his eyes blazing with fury as he rushed out of Li Yunxiao’s dormitory, not wanting to stay a second longer. The others also fell silent, their heads lowered as they followed out.

Li Yunxiao took out the jade pendant and examined it, delighted, "Great, it’s indeed a Five-Colored Spirit Stone!" He put away the pendant and looked up at the ceiling, smiling coldly, "You’ve watched for long enough, why don’t you come out?"

A few moments later, there was a sound from the ceiling, and Jia Rong, dressed in black, dropped down, looking at Li Yunxiao with a complex expression, his eyes full of disbelief.

Li Yunxiao said calmly, "Did you enjoy the show? Do you have everything you need?"

Jia Rong’s face was extremely serious. He had seen everything that had happened, and he couldn’t figure out how Li Yunxiao had defeated Lan Fei. He had originally planned to sneak in, subdue this young man, and force him to reveal the antidote. Now, he didn’t dare to make a move. Although he was a mid-level Warrior, he had no confidence in defeating Li Yunxiao, let alone capturing him alive.
