To be honest, Luo Fusheng has no fondness for Yun Xiao. This guy is ambiguously involved with the daughter of Master Xuan Yin while simultaneously manipulating Sister Hongzhuang, which is truly despicable.
However, the current situation doesn't allow Luo Fusheng to think too much. All three of his junior brothers are seriously injured, and although he can still fight, he knows very well after a fierce battle with Su Jian that he has absolutely no chance of winning—there is an enormous gap between their strengths.
So at this mont, no matter how much Luo Fusheng dislikes Yun Xiao, he can only pin his hopes on this young man. He believes that as long as Xu Hongzhuang is alive, Demons Mountain's future is certain to have hope.
"Leave? Why should we leave?"
Just as Luo Fusheng's stern voice echoed, the rough-clothed young man originally hidden in the shadows suddenly stepped forward, his words leaving all the geniuses stunned for a mont.
"To be honest, if it weren't for Xiao Lan's sake, I wouldn't bother with you guys. But since the opponent is Spirit Fighting Comrce, it seems we are destined to cross paths!"
With little expression on his face, Yun Xiao ntioned "Xiao Lan," making Luo Fusheng, Xiao Ming, and others pause, and then they realized he was referring to Xu Hongzhuang.
But upon hearing the latter part of the sentence, Luo Fusheng clearly recalled so intelligence he had received, suggesting this young man nad Yun Xiao indeed harbored so grudges against Spirit Fighting Comrce.
It was indeed so. While Luo Fusheng disliked Yun Xiao, the sentint was quite mutual. Yun Xiao originally believed that with the talents of Demons Mountain, they wouldn't encounter any danger on the second level of Xuanyin Cave, yet it was Spirit Fighting Comrce making the move.
Even though Yun Xiao appeared indifferent to the news over the past few days, it didn't an he could swallow this grievance. Su Jian secretly spread rumors attempting to tarnish his reputation—anyone would be inflad.
Now, since they've encountered one another here, Yun Xiao would not be polite, choosing to settle old scores with new ones, and garner so goodwill from the geniuses of Demons Mountain is certainly beneficial.
"Yun Xiao, now is not the ti to act rashly. Revenge is best served patiently. First, take Sister Hongzhuang and leave!"
Upon sensing Yun Xiao's Origin Seeking Realm Late Stage cultivation, Luo Fusheng felt intense frustration, finding the young man's arrogance distasteful. Yet, he had to suppress his aversion, beseeching once more.
Even though rumors claid Yun Xiao managed to kill the top genius of Heavenly Hospital, Bai Wushuang, without witnessing it firsthand, Luo Fusheng remained skeptical.
He believed the young man had rely taken advantage of a situation, achieving success through fluke, as the details were known to the cultivators who watched from Lianyun Mountain.
Therefore, Luo Fusheng refused to believe Yun Xiao truly possessed the power to turn the tide. Not to ntion Kou Baichuan and Liu Wu, Su Jian, the half-step Earth Realm cultivator, posed the most significant threat—an insurmountable obstacle.
"Heh, I wondered who this was; turns out to be you—indeed, fate brings foes together!"
At this mont, Su Jian had clearly spotted Yun Xiao, and with a flicker in his eyes, remarked with a light laugh, "Yun Xiao, your audacity to kill so many from Spirit Fighting Comrce is indeed impressive!"
Others might not know of Yun Xiao's actions against Spirit Fighting Comrce, but as the first genius of their headquarters, Su Jian was well aware.
These matters were regarded as a profound disgrace by Spirit Fighting Comrce, so naturally, they avoided talking about it, trying to suppress the information instead.
Starting from Yuyang City, Yun Xiao exterminated the local branch chairman and several elders of Spirit Fighting Comrce, assassinating the headquarters special envoy Xia Yong before Thunder King Valley.
Later, at the Chunxiao City branch, Yun Xiao caused another annihilation of Spirit Fighting Comrce, even killing a comrce genius Li Gongnian, and a protector Situ Lang.
Even though protector Situ Lang died under the hooves of a Snow Stepping Flying Horse, the matter was attributed to Yun Xiao, leaving no room for argunt.
A young man at Origin Seeking Realm Late Stage, no matter what, Su Jian couldn't believe Yun Xiao truly possessed the power to kill Situ Lang, a genuine Early Stage Earth Concealing Realm powerhouse—far stronger than the comrce's first genius.
Thus, Yun Xiao must have used so external ans or sches to succeed.
Inside Xuanyin Cave, any form of external aid or superior help couldn't be brought in, so Su Jian's wariness wasn't intense.
As the strongest present, a genius at the half-step Earth Realm, Su Jian possessed great confidence. With Yun Xiao rushing toward the gun muzzle, spreading rumors was unnecessary—directly killing Yun Xiao would solve everything.
"Hmm? That sounds like sothing Li Gongnian said, but he's already dead now!"
Listening to Su Jian's sowhat familiar words, Yun Xiao recalled a ridian Refining Genius, Li Gongnian, known as Spirit Fighting Comrce's second genius, who now resides beside King Yan.
The implication of Yun Xiao's words was clear: he was saying that Su Jian would et the sa fate as Li Gongnian. When these words were spoken, Su Jian hadn't reacted yet, but Liu Wu, who had always idolized this senior brother, exploded instantly.
"You're courting death, kid!"
A loud shout echoed in the depths of the second layer of Xuanyin Cave, and Liu Wu charged fiercely at Yun Xiao. His temperant was sowhat irritable, montarily forgetting the rumors about Yun Xiao.
"Liu Wu, watch out!"
When Su Jian saw Yun Xiao's figure slightly flicker, his expression changed slightly as he cried out a warning. But Liu Wu was already attacking, and the warning ca too late.
Everyone's attention was drawn to Liu Wu's sudden attack, and when Su Jian's warning sounded, Yun Xiao appeared completely motionless, as if he was scared stiff.
This left the crowd puzzled by Su Jian's warning. It seed Liu Wu was the one initiating the attack, so why was Su Jian warning Liu Wu instead?
In the next mont, everyone understood the reason behind Su Jian's warning. Liu Wu's speed was undeniable, and his power was incredibly strong. But when his fist hit Yun Xiao's chest, it went right through.
Seeing this, people like Luo Fusheng and Kou Baichuan pondered. Yun Xiao was a well-known figure, also an Origin Seeking Realm Late Stage cultivator — he couldn't be defeated in one move by Liu Wu, could he?
"Sothing's wrong!"
The geniuses reacted quickly when they saw that the area where "Yun Xiao" was hit by Liu Wu didn't spill any blood. They knew the situation wasn't as simple as they thought.
"It's an afterimage!"
Kou Baichuan uttered a shocked murmur, unable to believe his guess. After all, in his mind, afterimages were a feat only managed by Heavenly Rank Third Realm experts.
Though people had so understanding of Yun Xiao, many details remained unclear until witnessed firsthand, such as Yun Xiao's use of shadow clone here.
A mont later, they finally grasped the aning behind Su Jian's "watch out." A dark flash suddenly cut through the cave, sending Liu Wu's head flying toward the ceiling.
Liu Wu's headless body quivered violently, and the fountain of blood from his neck revealed that this Douling Comrce Origin Seeking Realm Late Stage genius had been beheaded by Yun Xiao in just one move.
Everything happened so fast. Clearly, it was Liu Wu who initiated the attack, but just an afterimage, Yun Xiao reversed the situation and took Liu Wu's head in one strike.
This was a thunderous, lightning-like destruction. Even if soone predicted Yun Xiao's skills were remarkable, they didn't expect him to kill a peer-level cultivator like slaughtering a chicken, and this was a genius from Douling Comrce.
Typically, top sect geniuses dominate ordinary cultivators of the sa level.
They train in cultivation techniques or ridian Techniques of the highest caliber, sothing ordinary cultivators from small sects or families can't match.
Today, Yun Xiao showed the Demons Mountain and Douling Comrce geniuses what true skill ans.
Perhaps Liu Wu couldn't comprehend why his head was cut off in one move.
But sadly, Liu Wu could only take this question to King Yama, as his rolling head landed on the ground with a resounding thud, rendering the deep second layer of Xuanyin Cave silent.
Even peak Origin Seeking Realm experts like Luo Fusheng and Kou Baichuan wouldn't dare claim they could kill a Douling Comrce Origin Seeking Realm Late Stage genius in one move.
Only the half-step Earth Realm Su Jian could barely accomplish it, proving that this simple-clothed youth amazed everyone with his decisive action.
"How is he this strong?"
Especially Luo Fusheng, who initially disliked Yun Xiao but now could only feel shock. He realized his understanding of this plain-clothed youth had been shallow.
Considering another possibility, Luo Fusheng grew excited, thinking that today, Demons Mountain's crisis might be resolved due to this youth's arrival.
