Chapter 91: Killing with a Single Punch
Daying City is located in the northeast of the Great Wilderness County. Despite being on the outskirts, it is very prosperous due to the nearby Misty Forest, which is rich with both beasts and spiritual herbs. This situation is similar to Wutan City, where prosperity is driven by advantageous geography.
By the time Xiao Tian and his group arrived in Daying City, it was already dusk. Observing the city, they noticed it was indeed larger and more prosperous than Flame City. According to Jiang Lei, Eagle Martial Hall is not considered the strongest force in Daying City. His cultivation level would only find a match in the city lord's mansion back in Flame City.
The convoy entered the city, traveled along the streets for half a stick of incense time, and arrived at a vast martial arts hall.
"The master is back!" Seeing the convoy, the guards at the martial arts hall gate shouted excitedly. Soon, several stewards came out from the hall and approached Jiang Lei.
Seeing this, Jiang Lei turned to the young woman beside him and said, "Xue'er, you arrange the best rooms for Xiao Tian and his friends."
"Father." Jiang Xue looked at Jiang Lei with concern.
"Go on!" Jiang Lei urged, waving his hand. Jiang Xue nodded and then said to Xiao Tian, "Young Master Xiao, please follow me."
Jiang Xue arranged several fine guest rooms for Xiao Tian and his group. After a brief rest, Jiang Lei hosted a grand banquet for them. Xiao Tian ended up getting quite drunk, thanks to the martial hall's hospitality.
The next morning, Xiao Tian had just stepped out of his room when he saw Jiang Xue waiting anxiously outside. Seeing him, she hurried over and pleaded, "Young Master Xiao, can you help our martial hall?"
"What's wrong?" Xiao Tian asked, already having an inkling of the issue.
"The Blood Hawk Martial Hall, the strongest force in Daying City, has come to challenge our Eagle Martial Hall," Jiang Xue explained. "Their hall master has reached the Small Accomplishment of the Creation Stage, while my father is only at the Initial Stage. They are forcing my father into a life-and-death duel. I hope you can help my father. If you agree, I... I'm willing to serve you for the rest of my life."
Her face flushed red as she made the offer.
"I'll help you," Xiao Tian replied with a smile. "But you don't need to offer that."
At present, he was already accompanied by four beautiful women. There was no need to add more, especially since Jiang Xue's appearance didn't surpass them.
"Thank you, Young Master Xiao," Jiang Xue said gratefully.
"Are the people from Blood Hawk Martial Hall still here?" Xiao Tian asked.
"They are still here; they haven't left yet," Jiang Xue replied.
"Then take me to them," Xiao Tian said.
"We're coming too!" Little Doctor Fairy and the others emerged from their rooms, expressing their intent to join. Little Doctor Fairy shot a wary glance at Jiang Xue.
Xiao Tian chuckled and said, "If you all want to come, then let's go together."
Thus, the group followed Jiang Xue to the martial arts arena. When they arrived, they saw members of Eagle Martial Hall in a standoff with another group, the atmosphere tense and confrontational. It was evident that the uniformed individuals were from the Blood Hawk Martial Hall.
The leader of the opposing group was a slim, middle-aged man, accompanied by a young man holding a folding fan with a sinister look. Upon seeing Jiang Xue, the young man's eyes shone with a lustful glint, which made everyone uncomfortable.
His gaze quickly shifted to Little Doctor Fairy and the others, and he was instantly captivated by their beauty. He smiled and said, "Xue'er, who are these lovely ladies? Aren't you going to introduce them to me?"
Jiang Xue looked at him with disdain and coldly replied, "You don't have the right to know."
"I don't have the right?" The young man sneered, "Soon, Blood Hawk Martial Hall will be the sole ruler of Daying City. You think I don't have the right? Eventually, all of you will belong to me."
Xiao Tian's eyes flashed with a cold light. He commanded, "Zi Yan, teach this annoying guy a lesson."
With a swift punch, Zi Yan sent the young man flying, spitting blood. He crashed into a wall and died instantly.
"Shan'er!" The slim middle-aged man rushed over, checking his son's breath, only to find him dead.
"Ah!" He roared in anger, glaring fiercely at Xiao Tian and Zi Yan. "You dare kill my son? I'll make you all pay!"
With a murderous gleam in his eyes, he lunged at Zi Yan like a vulture. Zi Yan's body flickered, leaving an afterimage. She reappeared in front of the middle-aged man and punched him.
"Boom!" Her punch created a deafening explosion. The crowd watched in shock as the middle-aged man was sent flying, vomiting blood, before crashing heavily into the ground, lifeless.
Everyone present swallowed hard, astonished. They couldn't believe that a Creation Stage Great Accomplishment warrior was so easily defeated by a young girl.
"So strong!" Jiang Lei thought, "I thought those three girls were already powerful. Who knew this little girl was even stronger, likely above the Creation Stage. Then what level is Xiao Tian at? Creation Stage Great Accomplishment or even Transformation Stage?"
Regardless, such individuals were destined to become legends.
With a thought, Xiao Tian summoned a flame from the man's body. The crowd watched in horror as an invisible fire engulfed the middle-aged man, reducing him to ashes, leaving only a strange bone fragment.
Xiao Tian reached out, and the bone fragment flew into his hand. He read the words on it: "Demon Ape Transformation," a high-level martial art.
"Lin Dong, this advanced martial art is yours," Xiao Tian said, tossing the bone fragment to Lin Dong. It was of no use to him.
"Thank you, Brother Xiao!" Lin Dong gratefully accepted the bone fragment. Having only learned the Great Sun Thunder Body from Xiao Tian, acquiring another high-level martial art was thrilling.
