After Being Reborn, I Refuse To Be The Holy Son Of The Sect Anymore

Chapter 112:

Xiao Yang donned his golden dragon-patterned mask, intending to engage in a fierce battle with Ming He and Yin Yue to showcase his might. However, to his surprise, the two cowards fled immediately.

It wasn’t unexpected that Ming He and Yin Yue would retreat. Facing the desperate Lei Lie, a mysterious middle-aged man suspected to be the First Senior Brother Long Chen, and Xiao Yang himself, the Sword Saint, how could they possibly win?

Although Xiao Yang felt annoyed, there was nothing he could do. These two were formidable demonic cultivators at the Divine Martial Realm. If they were determined to escape, who could stop them?

As Xiao Yang prepared to leave, the entire Black Wind City suddenly began to tremble. Buildings collapsed one after another, filling the air with dust. The ground cracked continuously, and a powerful force emanated from deep underground.

Xiao Yang was taken aback. Could there really be something enormous hidden beneath Black Wind City? How was that possible?

The Blood Demon and his followers had already been eliminated. The blood pool had collapsed. There shouldn’t be any powerful entity left beneath Black Wind City. Yet, the city’s central plaza began to cave in, and a mighty force burst forth from the collapse.

A massive vortex appeared in the sky above the city, swallowing everything in its path.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Houses were sucked into the vortex, and countless stones and debris were drawn upward. The vortex, pitch-black and menacing, seemed capable of devouring the entire world.

Xiao Yang and Lei Lie quickly retreated. The vortex expanded rapidly, enveloping the entire sky. Soon, everything within the city was pulled into it, including countless corpses from underground.

This city, which had stood for thousands of years on Black Wind Ridge, vanished in an instant, leaving not a single brick behind, as though it had never existed.

The enormous vortex dissipated rapidly, and a colossal figure emerged before Xiao Yang.

“Hm?”

Xiao Yang’s expression turned serious behind his mask.

“Senior… what is this…?” Lei Lie stared in shock at the “giant” formed from countless stones and debris.

The entity buried deep underground had annihilated the city in an instant, condensing its ruins into a “giant.” Such a terrifying power was beyond comprehension.

“Whoosh!”

Before Xiao Yang could speak, the mountain-sized giant threw a punch directly at him and Lei Lie. The giant’s fist, as large as a small hill, caused the entire void to quake. The violent wind it generated uprooted trees and sent rocks flying, plunging the world into chaos.

Xiao Yang soared into the sky, evading the punch, and landed on the giant’s fist. He dashed up the giant’s arm with rapid steps. The giant extended its left hand to swat Xiao Yang like a fly, aiming to crush him.

Just as the giant’s massive hand was about to strike, Xiao Yang pushed off the giant’s arm with his feet, propelling himself toward its head.

“Boom!”

The giant’s left palm slammed into its own right arm, shattering it instantly. Sand, stones, and fragments of buildings rained down, mingled with pale corpses.

By now, Xiao Yang had landed atop the giant’s head.

“Break for me!”

With a roar, Xiao Yang delivered a punch to the giant’s head. The fiery force of his punch exploded violently. Beyond his own strength, Xiao Yang also unleashed the power of the Fire Lin Beast in his arm.

Cracks spread rapidly from the giant’s head to its neck and body. Soon, its entire form was riddled with fissures, and flames burst out from the cracks.

“Boom!”

With a deafening explosion, the mountain-sized giant shattered completely, sending a massive cloud of dust into the air, obscuring the sky and sun.

The scene was apocalyptic, leaving Lei Lie, the law enforcement elder, utterly stunned.

“Senior Sword Saint is incredible…”

Far away, the disciples of the Azure Sun Sword Sect also witnessed the shocking sight. Nearby, a silver serpent coiled atop a frosty mountain ridge. They believed this ice serpent to be the mysterious Sword Saint’s spirit beast. Could the Sword Saint be taking action? Everyone was filled with doubt and awe.

“Did First Senior Brother abandon us and run away alone?” Qin Fei, lying on the ground, suddenly remarked.

“First Senior Brother is so selfish. He left us behind to fend for ourselves while he fled for his life,” Zheng Fan said angrily.

The others also wore grim expressions. In the chaos, no one had noticed Xiao Yang’s departure. Guided by Qin Fei’s words, they assumed Xiao Yang had fled out of cowardice, abandoning them.

“Don’t speak nonsense, Qin Fei! Senior Brother isn’t like that!” Lin Wangchuan retorted furiously.

“Yes, First Senior Brother would never be such a coward. He must have left for a reason,” Song Qiang added.

“If he’s not a coward, then where is he? Why did he sneak away instead of staying to protect us?” Qin Fei argued loudly. He saw this as a rare opportunity to tarnish Xiao Yang’s reputation and stir discontent among their fellow disciples.

His ploy worked. Li Yunhu and the others began to voice their dissatisfaction, believing that as their First Senior Brother and Holy Son of the sect, Xiao Yang should have protected them. Instead, he had vanished without a trace.

Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang were exasperated. They knew Xiao Yang wasn’t the kind of person Qin Fei was portraying him to be. But they couldn’t convince the others.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yang was still locked in battle, fighting to protect them. Yet, due to Qin Fei’s manipulations, they now harbored resentment and disdain toward him.

As the dust from the giant’s explosion spread, covering a radius of dozens of miles, a sudden burst of motion shattered the ground. A blood-red shadow shot out, breaking through the dust and charging straight at Xiao Yang.

“Bang!”

Xiao Yang countered with his own punch, meeting the shadow head-on. A sinister and eerie power seeped into his arm, forcing both of them to retreat.

Xiao Yang steadied himself, only to feel the evil force spreading up his arm. With a cold snort, he summoned the power of the Fire Lin Beast, igniting flames that expelled the invasive energy.

“It’s you?” Xiao Yang finally saw his opponent’s face. It was none other than Li Kuang, the Blade Demon.

Hadn’t Xiao Yang destroyed his dantian and rendered him powerless, leaving him to fall into the underground blood pool? How had he become like this?

Li Kuang’s aura was now even more sinister and formidable, reaching the peak of the Divine Martial Realm. Xiao Yang narrowed his eyes. This power seemed eerily similar to that of the Blood Demon, yet it was infused with a strong demonic nature.

Li Kuang’s red hair and blood-colored pupils, combined with the veins spreading from his dantian across his body, made him look monstrous.

“Did he absorb the blood pool’s power to repair his shattered dantian?” Xiao Yang wondered.

In truth, Li Kuang had consumed a blood core, restoring his dantian and regaining his cultivation. Now, as a fusion of demon and monster power, he was no longer the Blade Demon but the terrifying Blood Demon Li Kuang.

“I’ll drain you dry!” Li Kuang roared and charged at Xiao Yang again.
