CRACK—
A clear, ringing noise of something snapping resound in the air. Xing Jiang head tilt back, her eyes still close as Yu Sheng let go of her neck, her body falling limp to the ground.
Yu Sheng stare at the dead body with cold eyes. In truth, he did not want to kill Xing Jiang, especially when he realized she was a woman.
But....
"Sometimes one must develop a ruthless heart to deal with ruthless people." Yu Sheng muttered to himself as he recall what his previous mother told him before.
They wanted his life and because of the suffering they put him and the previous host through.
He wants their lives just as much as they want his.
"You should be lucky you died a painless dead." He stated while looking at Xing Jiang. The true reason he didn't want to kill her was because he wanted her to suffer for eternity with the use of a pill he developed himself.
"It doesn't matter." Shaking his head he move his gaze to look at the old man who was staring blankly at Xing Jiang dead body.
"I can still let the old man suffer." He said with his sarcastic smile still on display. He clenched his fist and in the blink of an eye he was already in front of Fan Guo.
With the crimson night having a five minutes cooldown Yu Sheng wanted to end this as soon as possible. With mad, ruthless eyes he sent his fist with blood spinning around it at Fan Guo.
Fan Guo sensing the overwhelming endless energy in the surroundings came back to reality. When he did he saw a fist close to his face with no way of dodging the fist he crossed both his hands to block it.
'I will block this then counter attack with my own Kai Fist. If he was to be hit with an attack by a Kai 9th Stage cultivator I am sure he would be heavily injured.' Fan Guo thought to himself as he prepare to receive Yu Sheng hit.
However, just as he was thinking this he saw Yu Sheng smirking crazily at him, his eyes that were filled with madness held two other emotions.
One was excitement and the other one was contempt as if he was mocking Fan Guo for trying to block his fist.
'You fool.' And that was exactly what was going through Yu Sheng mind.
With no time to activate kai defense Yu Sheng fist landed on Fan Guo hands completely breaking them. The shockwave filled with endless energy in the color red then sent him flying into a nearby building while causing the earth to become uproot wherever he pass by.
The building he was sent flying into walls crumble at his impact sending him inside and back outside as he hit the wall at the back before making him tumble into the ground.
"What is this power..." Coughing up blood Fan Guo lay on the ground with injuries all around his body. He a cultivator at the 9th stage of the kai realm was bested by a mere mortal who just became a cultivator.
"Power you cannot comprehend." Yu Sheng appear close to Fan Guo with his hands in his pocket. The excitement in his eyes already gone from how quickly the fight ended.
"I should have made sure you stayed dead."
Fan Guo raised his head with great difficulty to look at Yu Sheng who was staring at him with the eyes similar to that of the Great Clans.
Eyes filled with disdain.
This made him laugh causing him to cough more blood.
"This should have been expected. What did I expect to happen from trying to kill someone from the Great Clans?"
"Now my one and only disciple is dead because of my mistake." Fan Guo let out a bitter laugh as he admit that he was the reason for Xing Jiang death.
"Still... I won't let my disciple die in vain." Fan Guo said as his eyes held madness similar to Yu Sheng as a pill randomly appeared in his hand.
"Even if I must die today I will make sure you go down with me!" He popped the pill into his mouth making Yu Sheng eyes sparkle in delight.
However, soon after his neck was split open causing a fountain of blood to spray out.
"Three minutes left. Sorry, as much as I would like to have an intense fight with you I cannot risk it all on three minutes." With two fingers open Yu Sheng slit the old man throat with a sad look.
"I really wanted to torture you, but who would have thought you had a Berserk Pill on you?" Yu Sheng shook his head with that same sad look. A berserk pill is a pill that could increase ones cultivation while consuming their own lifespan in the process.
Not many would dare take this pill, in fact no one at all would ever use this pill. Reason being that no one wants to become a living fossil, especially cultivators who have a long life span that increase each realm they enter.
"Oh well time to get out of here."
Who knew if they had reinforcements somewhere? And with three minutes on the crimson night left Yu Sheng didn't want to stay any longer.
The more he stays in this place the more dangerous things will become.
"When I find those executives we can immediately start on the reconstruction of the companies main building. In the meantime, I will just hang out at the branch building while probably putting a huge bounty on Xu Weizhe head, that cunning bastard..." He muttered out loud with a curse as he prepare to leave.
"Your not going anywhere!" But just as Yu Sheng was going to leave, the old man body began glowing bright orange.
A wild aura fill the surrounding as the old man cultivation rose.
Mid 9th stage, late 9th stage, peak, half-step Zhong Realm....
His aura stabilize at half-step Zhong Realm when such a thing should be impossible without the use of the second scripture.
"What the hell man. I read a lot of novels and watch a bunch of anime back on my time on earth and know for a fact to never let the antagonist power up!" Seeing the old man getting up with his injuries fully healed Yu Sheng yelled in frustration.
"I tried to be badass by stopping your power up, but for some reason even after slitting your throat you fucking alive! This must be what they call 'the plot thickens, very nice..." Not liking what he's seeing Yu Sheng looked at the Fan Guo with hateful eyes.
"I can say the same to you." Fan Guo said, his voice sounding very painful as try enduring the power inside his body.
He also looked at Yu Sheng with hateful eyes. He made sure when he killed him that he stayed dead, yet here he is, standing in front of him. He even managed to kill his precious disciple.
Thinking about his disciple Fan Guo roared, his voice filled with nothing else but to enact his revenge.
"Half-step Zhong Fist!" His hands glow orange as he flung his fist right at Yu Sheng.
>Kai Defense>
Not taking this attack lightly Yu Sheng also sent his own fist. When their two attacks connected the world change as yellow-red and orange colors blast the surroundings as endless energy spread all around them destroying the entire area around them.
A wild breeze pass by causing small buildings to collapse. The ground beneath their feet cracking unable to handle the strength from their attack.
Yu Sheng already torn clothes began tearing as the hand he used to receive the attack sleeve completely tear apart, revealing his hand that skin was torn apart by the blow.
The shockwave lasted for a whole two minutes before calming down. Yu Sheng seeing this quickly reacted by sending his leg at Fan Guo face.
However the attack was futile. With no way of applying Red Spiral nor Kai Fist to his legs Fan Guo firmly grabbed it and squeeze hard.
"AHHHH!" Yu Sheng let out a loud scream as his body fell to the ground. With regret in his eyes at his bad decision he released a Kai Fist at Fan Guo chest causing him to let go to block it.
BOOM!
The two of them was blown away by the attack with Yu Sheng receiving most of the damage.
"Dammit." Yu Sheng cursed underneath his breath as he stare at his leg that was completely broken. Soon however, it began healing as his headphones absorb the blood in the surroundings to heal it.
"I only got one minute left before the Eternal Melody goes on cooldown." He muttered to himself with unease filling his eyes.
With how much he was dominating the old man and his disciple he never would have thought there would be such a huge difference between the Kai Realm and Zhong Realm.
With his yinyue strength multiplied by his cultivation and the eternal melody he was confident that no one was a match for him.
However, Fan Guo immediately broke his confidence by displaying the difference between these two realms.
Even though he was only a half-step he was already this powerful...
"You must be surprise on how I became a half-step zhong expert." The old man approach Yu Sheng with his body looking like he aged 50 years.
"The truth is I have always had the second scripture, it's just that I was never talented enough to understand it." Fan Guo said as his hair began turning white.
"There was also no one who was willing to help. Afterall, the Great Clans love to keep things a secret."
"This is the reason we outsiders that aren't from the Mainland cannot get pass the Kai Realm." He said with hate in his eyes.
"Mainlands?" Yu Sheng questioned as he countdown the seconds left on the Eternal Melody. This was the first time he heard this term.
"You don't know?" Fan Guo questioned back with shocked eyes. This made him confused on whether or not Yu Sheng was a genius the Xu Clan was hiding from the other Great Clans.
"It doesn't matter, I will kill you no matter what."
