Chapter 89: Yang Qi's Revenge, Seeing Yun Hailan Again
The long roar initially seemed distant, but after a few breaths, it reached dozens of kilometers away. The sound waves were incessant, and in the next moment, they rumbled like thunder, shaking the entire ancient city. The long roar abruptly stopped.
A figure appeared on the city wall. This was a young man, with a distinguished Aura, dressed in simple hemp clothes, carrying a sword on his back, like a Cultivating swordsman, exuding a terrifying Aura all over his body! It was Chu Tiange, a master of the Life Seizing Realm.
"The sun and sky, ten thousand heads, hatred like thunderous hands. How many Heavenly Rank Elites are there? Only I, Chu's clan, sing to the heavens!" Chu Tiange mused over the poem, with vast Sword Qi emanating from his side! He was full of swagger.
He stood on the city wall, coldly scanning the crowd, his gaze lingering on the leader of the Vampire Bandits, as well as Shi Jian and Yang Qi.
"Are you Disciples of my Heavenly Rank Academy? Was that distress signal just now sent by you?" Chu Tiange spoke coldly.
"Life Seizing Realm…" The surviving bandit leader became even more desperate at the sight. Yang Qi and Shi Jian were already Life Seizing Realm masters, and now another Life Seizing Realm master from the Heavenly Rank Academy had arrived. How was he supposed to play this?
He roared, and fled into the distance without a care. Behind him, a pair of blood-colored True Qi condensed into bat wings appeared, their speed as fast as lightning.
"Hmph!" Chu Tiange snorted coldly, and a sun-like sword light shone brightly. The entire ancient city was illuminated by his sun-like sword light, and all the ghostly Qi dissipated.
In the blink of an eye, the Vampire Bandit screamed and died under his Sword Qi. Subsequently, a blood-colored Yao Core flew out from the Vampire Bandit leader's body.
Chu Tiange collected the Yao Core, then spoke indifferently: "It is truly dangerous for you Utility Disciples to come out and clear out these Vampire Bandits. I have already investigated and found that these Vampire Bandits are supported by the Blood Yao Cave, one of the seventy-two Yao Kings under the Void Realm Mountain!"
"You are no match for them, return quickly!" Yang Qi ignored him and looked into the distance.
Several dark figures appeared in the distance. These dark figures were colossal beings, lion-headed and bird-bodied monsters. These were flying Yao Beasts, tamed by the Heavenly Rank Academy.
Several people jumped down from these Yao Beasts. These people were also students of the Heavenly Rank Academy.
"Senior Brother Tiange, you are amazing! You killed all those bandits!" These students had not yet broken through to the Life Seizing Realm, but their status surpassed that of Utility Disciples.
Yang Qi's gaze primarily rested on a woman dressed in blue. Yun Hailan!
Yang Qi felt a surge of hot blood rush to his head, and a sky full of Killing Intent brewed in his heart. Half a year had passed, but this woman's face still lingered in his mind.
That face, filled with disdain and mockery, had become his obsession! Therefore, after his Divine Rank Cultivation Technique reached Major Achievement, the first thing he planned was to kill Yun Hailan.
If it were in the original plot, even if he saw Yun Hailan, he could only endure it forcefully. Because he wasn't strong enough yet. He was not a match for Chu Tiange, who was in the Life Seizing Realm. But now it was different; he himself was a strong practitioner in the Life Seizing Realm. Chu Tiange was nothing more than an ant to him.
Shi Jian felt the fluctuation of Yang Qi's emotions and followed his gaze, then he also saw Yun Hailan. It must be said that Yun Hailan indeed had something special about her. No wonder she could play with the former Yang Qi like a dog.
Her sapphire blue clothes fluttered, like a Fairy who had emerged from the ocean, exceptionally outstanding, with a dignified appearance and an extraordinary Aura! She had a "Saintess" vibe.
Her Aura was also extremely powerful; one could vaguely see the azure True Qi condensing into an ocean behind her, with Dragon-shaped True Qi churning deep within the ocean! She had strength, intelligence, and beauty… This villain was indeed on a higher level.
Shi Jian felt that there would be fun to watch next, so he quickly opened his live stream.
[Shi Jian opened the live stream and renamed it "You crippled my Cultivation, now I'm killing your whole Family, why are you crying?"]
A message flashed through the chat group. The people in the group instantly smelled an extraordinary Aura. Then they all poured into the live stream.
After Yun Hailan arrived, she didn't look down, but instead spoke with Chu Tiange. "Senior Brother Chu, your Great Sun Qiankun Sword must have reached the pinnacle of Cultivation, right? It won't be long until you can undergo a second Life Seizing Breakthrough? At that time, your Cultivation will be twice as strong as it is now!"
Her voice was like heavenly music, spreading throughout the entire scene, making people feel incredibly comfortable upon hearing it. Her level was unusually high.
"Life Seizing has nine Realms. Each Life Seizing Breakthrough greatly enhances one's life, but it also suffers from the backlash of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Many Seniors have been blasted into dust because they couldn't control the volatile Spiritual Qi in their bodies… My second Life Seizing Breakthrough is no small matter and cannot be rushed!"
Chu Tiange shook his head humbly, completely different from his domineering demeanor when he was just killing people. He spoke gently: "However, Junior Sister, you have the Bloodline of the Sea God. Legend says you are a descendant of a Divine Rank being. Your talent is probably even above mine, and it won't be long until you can reach the Life Seizing Realm!"
"Thank you for your auspicious words, Senior Brother." Yun Hailan spoke calmly.
Yang Qi watched the two converse with cold eyes. Before he could make a move, one of the Disciples in the group noticed him. Then that person revealed a mocking and ferocious smile: "Yang Qi, it's you! I didn't expect you to actually enter the Heavenly Rank Academy!"
This person was none other than Yun Hailan's cousin, Song Haishan. He was also the one who personally crippled Yang Qi's Cultivation back then.
Yang Qi looked at Song Haishan and sneered: "It's me, Song Haishan. You didn't expect it, did you? I, who had all my Qi Cultivation crippled, was actually able to recover my Cultivation and enter the Heavenly Rank Academy!"
Yang Qi's voice rumbled like a great bell. Everyone heard what he said.
He looked at Song Haishan with disdain, then calmly looked at Yun Hailan: "Yun Hailan, we haven't seen each other for half a year. You were able to improve your Cultivation so quickly, shouldn't you thank me for that Dragon Subduing Pill?"
Yun Hailan's expression changed, then returned to calm: "Yang Qi, you've recovered your Qi Cultivation and even joined the Heavenly Rank Academy. It seems you've had some fortuitous encounters. Congratulations!"
"However, since you've entered this continent's number one academy, then be a good student. Don't be too flamboyant. When you return to Yan Capital City in the future, you can still revitalize your Family, marry, and have children, and this life will pass by!"
Yun Hailan's voice was calm, her words seemingly understated, but in reality, she was warning Yang Qi: since you were fortunate enough not to die, then stay in your place!
"This life will pass by?" Yang Qi smiled faintly: "How can the splendor of my life be imagined by you? Time is infinite, life is splendid, to be enjoyed endlessly. What I want is to reach the highest peak!"
"It is people like you, who are cunning and manipulative, who should live a casual life, because you can never reach the highest Realm. A strong practitioner is strong in their heart!"
"How dare you!" As soon as Yang Qi finished speaking, Song Haishan jumped out!
"Yang Qi, what are you? A mere Utility Disciple, how dare you speak to Hailan, who is about to become an Elite Disciple, like that?"
"You used to be an ant, a nobody, and you still are. Do you think that just because you had some minor fortuitous encounters and entered the Heavenly Rank Academy, you can run wild?"
"I'm telling you, a Genius is always a Genius, and trash is always trash. The gap will always be there. A low-class person like you will never understand!" Song Haishan loudly mocked Yang Qi.
"You're right, a Genius is always a Genius, and trash is always trash. Trash like you will still be trash even if you enter the Heavenly Rank Academy!" Yang Qi retorted with a sneer.
"I am an outer court Disciple of the academy, and you are just a Utility Disciple. What are you to dare call me trash? According to my old temper, I would directly cripple you right now, but out of respect for your joining the Heavenly Rank Academy, I'll give you a chance to reform. Kneel and kowtow to me three times, and I'll let you go, how about it?"
Song Haishan's eyes were ferocious, looking at Shi Jian like a cat watching a mouse. He was certain that he had Yang Qi cornered.
"This woman looks good, no wonder she could make my brother Qi play like a dog!"
"No, Yang Qi, why are you talking so much nonsense? What's there to talk about with a woman like this? Just throw a Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger at her!"
"This guy is so arrogant, he even wants people to kowtow to him three times and nine times. Are we not killing him?"
"Xiao Yan, where did you get milk ducts?" The people in the group, enjoying the show, sent out barrages of comments.
Shi Jian was just watching the show, not interfering.
Yun Hailan and Chu Tiange listened to Song Haishan's words without reacting, only standing with their hands behind their backs on the city wall, looking down at Yang Qi!
"Kowtow three times and nine times? Good idea. If you kowtow to me three times and nine times, I might spare your life today!" Yang Qi looked at Song Haishan with cold eyes, then spoke playfully.
"What? What did you say? You, spare my life?" Song Haishan finally couldn't bear it, his large hand spreading five fingers into a claw, True Qi rising from his body, and he suddenly reached down from above the clouds! He wanted to capture Yang Qi.
As soon as he made a move, he was filled with Killing Intent, aiming to kill Yang Qi.
Yang Qi didn't even look, he simply pointed a finger, and Song Haishan's entire body exploded directly in mid-air! Blood splattered, falling onto the snow, exceptionally vivid red.
Yun Hailan's expression finally changed, and the few outer and inner court Disciples with him were dumbfounded! Song Haishan was a master of the Qi Sect Realm, and Yang Qi killed him with one finger?
More importantly... Yang Qi actually dared to kill someone? He actually dared to slaughter fellow Disciples!!!
"Hmm?" Chu Tiange's brows also furrowed!
"Yang Qi, you actually dared to kill my cousin…" Yun Hailan stared at Yang Qi with cold eyes. She hadn't expected Yang Qi's strength to be so terrifying. She also hadn't expected him to dare to kill.
"Those who kill will be killed... Yun Hailan, you wouldn't think that your meeting me here is just a coincidence, would you?" Yang Qi spoke indifferently, a monstrous Killing Intent brewing in his heart.
"Awesome, my milk ducts are clear!"
"Why didn't you kill him earlier? How can you let such a small character point his finger at your nose and curse you, Brother Yang, you're no good…"
"Kill the rest of them, especially that woman... If you can't do it, Brother Yang, just call me…"
"Xiao Yan, where did you get milk ducts?" The people in the group became even more excited after seeing Song Haishan die. They quickly urged Yang Qi to take revenge.
However, the live stream was opened by Shi Jian, so how could Yang Qi see their comments?
"Hmm!" Yun Hailan's eyes narrowed after hearing Yang Qi's words. She instantly understood that Yang Qi had specifically come to seek revenge on her. Killing Intent surged in her heart.
Chu Tiange watched this scene with interest. He narrowed his eyes and said gently to Yun Hailan, "Junior Sister Hailan, it seems you have some enmity with this young man? This young man's True Qi is somewhat profound, you might not be able to deal with him. How about I help you deal with him, and you owe me a favor?"
Chu Tiange clearly didn't put Yang Qi in his eyes. It seemed that Yang Qi's strength was not worth his effort, and he would only act if Yun Hailan owed him a favor.
Yun Hailan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness upon hearing this. Originally, she had some reservations about Yang Qi's aunt, who was in the Life-Taking Realm, so when she first saw Yang Qi, she hadn't thought of killing him!
But now Yang Qi had killed Song Haishan and deliberately sought revenge on her... He had become a hidden danger. It would be good to have Chu Tiange eliminate him for her.
"Then I'll trouble Senior Brother!" She agreed without hesitation.
"Haha, good!" Chu Tiange immediately laughed, then turned his cold gaze towards Yang Qi.
"A mere Utility Disciple actually dares to defy his superiors and kill an outer court Disciple. Today, I will clean up the sect!" As soon as his words fell, Chu Tiange flicked out a terrifying Sword Qi with his finger, intending to instantly kill Yang Qi.
His Sword Qi was extremely terrifying; even seven or eight ordinary Qi Sect Realm experts would be suppressed and killed on the spot. Therefore, Chu Tiange was confident in killing Yang Qi.
But the next moment, something unexpected happened. Yang Qi merely swept his gaze, and that wisp of Sword Qi was directly annihilated.
"Chu Tiange? You, a mere Disciple of the first level of Life-Taking, want to kill me? You're simply ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!"
"I want to kill Yun Hailan. Do you think I don't know you're beside her?" Yang Qi no longer concealed his cultivation, and his terrifying cultivation instantly poured out!
He instantly transformed from a weak Utility Disciple into a peerless expert. His Aura underwent earth-shattering changes, making him unfathomable!
Chu Tiange, who had just been boundless in his glory, was suppressed and forced to his knees on the ground just by feeling this Aura! The few Disciples besides Yun Hailan were directly crushed.
A dark green bead appeared above Yun Hailan's head, emitting a faint glow. This was a Dragon Bead!
Yun Hailan relied on the power of the Dragon Bead to barely save her life under Yang Qi's Aura.
"Seventh level of Life-Taking, eighth level of Life-Taking? How is this possible? How can a Utility Disciple like you possess such terrifying strength?" Chu Tiange completely collapsed.
To be able to suppress him to this Realm with just his Aura, this was at least an expert of the seventh or eighth level of Life-Taking! How could Yang Qi, a Utility Disciple, have such terrifying cultivation?
From the moment he appeared, he had been condescending, never taking Yang Qi seriously. In the eyes of inner court students like him, Utility Disciples were waste.
But now, the 'waste' he thought was suddenly became a peerless expert... Becoming a terrifying existence of the seventh or eighth level of Life-Taking. The contrast in his heart was imaginable.
How abrupt, uncomfortable, and uneasy this was... What was more, Yang Qi also wanted to kill him.
"I have no relation to Yun Hailan; I only took care of her because of the Crown Prince's faction. Please don't kill me, spare my life, I am willing to completely submit to you!" Chu Tiange quickly begged for mercy. He was also someone who could bend and stretch.
If Yang Qi had displayed the strength of a first-level Life-Taking Realm, Chu Tiange might have dared to fight him to the death. But Yang Qi had displayed at least the strength of a seventh or eighth-level Life-Taking Realm. How could he fight now? A wise man submits to circumstances.
Yang Qi just looked at him coldly: "You're not worthy!" Then he pointed a finger, intending to completely obliterate Chu Tiange. He deliberately slowed his movements, wanting Chu Tiange to die in despair.
Chu Tiange heard his words and saw him make a move against him, and despair instantly filled his heart. However, he didn't just sit there and wait for death, but instead burst forth with all his True Qi.
His Aura erupted like mountains and seas, and circles of flames appeared behind him, like a great sun wheel.
"Eight Desolate Fire God, Great Sun Fire Dragon, Essence of Primordial Spirit, True Soul of My Body, come forth, kill the evil demon for me!" He roared, and a Divine Dragon-like True Qi appeared behind him.
This scorching True Qi transformed into a Divine Dragon. A massive dragon head squeezed out from the Void Realm, its fiery red dragon eyes had a huge sun symbol on its forehead, long dragon whiskers and horns, and its entire body covered in fiery red, steel-like scales surged, roaring as if to destroy all things in the world...
"Don't say it, don't say it, this kid's roar has some Aura!"
"This move is a bit cool, Great Sun Fire Dragon, Essence of Primordial Spirit? I want to learn it too…" The eyes of several people in the chat group instantly lit up. It must be said, Chu Tiange's special effects for this move were truly flashy... Xiao Yan was even drooling.
If he learned this move and summoned an alien fire True Dragon, wouldn't that be even cooler?
But cool is cool... Coolness doesn't fill your stomach.
This massive fire Dragon charged towards Yang Qi like a blazing flame. The power of the fire Dragon was quite terrifying in the first level of the Life-Taking Realm.
Unfortunately, Yang Qi had already completed six levels of Life-Taking. And because he cultivated a Divine Rank Cultivation Technique, his six levels of Life-Taking could rival others' nine levels of Life-Taking. A mere fire Dragon was just a small insect to him.
Yang Qi just gave it a look, and the fire Dragon directly collapsed and disintegrated.
"No, Yang Qi, I am an elite Disciple of the Heavenly Academy. Once I die, it will immediately cause a sensation in the Heavenly Academy, and they will definitely trace it back to you. You cannot kill me…"
With his Life-Taking strike disintegrated, Chu Tiange spoke again, unwillingly.
Yang Qi ignored him, directly shattering his heart Meridians, and even crushing his Meridians and Qi Sea into dust.
"It's your turn now... Yun Hailan!" Yang Qi turned his gaze towards Yun Hailan, who was standing beside him.
