Chapter 88: The Time Has Come, the Hunt Begins

’Two Meridians Unite... That man was strong! He must have been a true genius from the Five Elements Sect, and yet... one of our Guiyuan Sect’s Huajin masters killed him...’

Yu Jingjing had already formed a team. Just as noon arrived, she was preparing to go fight the people from the Five Elements Sect with her teammates.

But in the end, a genius from the Five Elements Sect who had achieved Two Meridians Unite was struck down and killed by one of her own sect’s Huajin masters?

This wasn’t quite the battle she had imagined.

She couldn’t help but glance at Bai Jinghong, who was not far away.

She had previously invited Bai Jinghong to team up, but he had disdained the idea, wanting to act alone.

When noon arrived, Bai Jinghong had indeed been ready to show off his skills.

But when he saw the Five Elements Sect genius get cleaved in two by a single strike from one of his own sect’s Huajin masters, his entire body went rigid.

The leg that had been about to step onto Drum Tower Street was forcefully pulled back.

He did have more combat experience than Yu Jingjing.

But even he had never seen a situation like this, a battle between two sects.

’Aren’t Inner Force cultivators supposed to fight Inner Force cultivators, and Huajin masters fight Huajin masters?’

That Huajin master from his own sect had struck with absolute decisiveness.

In fact, it wasn’t just one person, but two.

Zhou Peng had also made a move.

It was just that Zhou Peng’s Body Technique wasn’t as fast, so he was a step behind.

’But a Huajin master attacking an Inner Force cultivator... is that right?’

This scene was a huge shock to disciples like Yu Jingjing and Bai Jinghong.

This was completely different from the battle they had imagined.

It wasn’t just the many disciples of the Guiyuan Sect who were shocked.

In truth, the impact on the numerous disciples of the Five Elements Sect was just as great.

After all, Zhong Lixuan was a disciple of the Five Elements Sect!

"Is that... Zhong Lixuan from Li Fire Peak?"

"I can’t believe Zhong Lixuan actually achieved Two Meridians Unite. He also reached the Third Layer in his Flame Saber Cultivation, allowing him to deliver a Huajin Strike. In terms of power, he probably wasn’t inferior to Jiang Taizhen. And he’s... dead?"

"Zhong Lixuan was killed by a Guiyuan Sect Huajin Martial Artist, and it’s only just past noon..."

Many disciples of the Five Elements Sect had witnessed this with their own eyes.

Some of them had been excited just moments before.

But now, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over their heads, and a chill settled in their hearts.

"Senior Brother Jiang, that Zhong Lixuan hid his abilities well. To think he was cultivating two meridians, and even achieved Two Meridians Unite..."

A disciple beside Jiang Taizhen couldn’t help but speak up.

"Idiot!"

Jiang Taizhen said coldly.

’What kind of place did Zhong Lixuan think this was?’

’Running off to challenge Zhang Su, trying to make a name for himself overnight?’

’In the end, he just got himself killed by a Huajin master from the Guiyuan Sect.’

’Utterly foolish!’

Instantly, many members of the Five Elements Sect hastily retreated, no longer daring to approach the Guiyuan Sect’s encampment. They feared being killed by a Guiyuan Sect Huajin master, just like Zhong Lixuan.

Near Drum Tower Street, the white-robed Martial Artist had already wiped his blade clean.

He bent down and took an Identity Token from the corpse.

The two words "Zhong Lixuan" were written on it.

"Zhong Lixuan?"

The white-robed Martial Artist chuckled and said, "This guy’s talent must have been pretty good, achieving Two Meridians Unite. No worse than that Jiang Taizhen fellow. A shame he wasn’t very bright. He wasn’t on the bounty list either, or he’d be worth three hundred merit points. Such a pity..."

Zhou Peng shook his head. "Xie Guanchao, don’t act modest after getting such a good deal. It’ll be hard to run into a Five Elements Sect Disciple this clueless after today..."

"Heh heh, that’s true..."

Xie Guanchao knew it too. He had indeed gotten lucky.

After today, the disciples of both sects would have learned their lesson and wouldn’t be so reckless anymore.

Just as Xie Guanchao tucked Zhong Lixuan’s Identity Token into his robes and prepared to leave,

SWISH.

Suddenly, a jet-black long spear tore through the air, heading straight for Xie Guanchao.

Before the spear even arrived, wisps of frigid air made Xie Guanchao’s entire body turn cold.

Without the slightest hesitation, he kicked off the ground, which instantly cracked beneath his feet.

He shot backward in an instant, like an arrow released from its bow.

Xie Guanchao’s speed was incredible.

He specialized in Body Technique; even Zhou Peng hadn’t been as fast as him just now.

Moreover, this was right next to the Guiyuan Sect’s encampment.

In the blink of an eye, Xie Guanchao had retreated back within the bounds of Drum Tower Street.

BANG.

Right where Xie Guanchao had been standing, the jet-black long spear slammed into the ground. A crater was blasted open, and faint ice crystals appeared around its edges.

The owner of the jet-black long spear revealed herself.

She was a tall woman with a frosty expression, exuding a bone-chilling aura.

"Senior Brother Zhou, that madwoman Sikong Shuang is here again! Your Seven Extremes Saber is no weaker than her Spear Technique, so I’ll leave her to you. I can’t afford to provoke her."

Xie Guanchao clearly knew this Female Martial Artist.

Zhou Peng: "..."

’Sikong Shuang is a master at the Peak of Huajin Stage.’

’She’s ranked third on the Guiyuan Sect’s Huajin bounty list.’

’She’s a real handful!’

Zhou Peng wasn’t confident he could take down Sikong Shuang either.

As for Xie Guanchao turning and running the moment he encountered a tough opponent, Zhou Peng wasn’t surprised in the least.

It was perfectly in line with what he knew of Xie Guanchao.

However, there wasn’t much Sikong Shuang could do about Xie Guanchao either.

Xie Guanchao excelled at Body Technique, coming and going like the wind.

If he couldn’t win a fight, could he not at least outrun his opponent?

"Hmph."

Sikong Shuang snorted coldly.

She didn’t dare cross Drum Tower Street to enter the Guiyuan Sect’s encampment either.

Otherwise, masters at the Pill Force stage and above could directly intervene.

Then, Sikong Shuang turned and left, quickly disappearing from everyone’s sight.

Many people’s gazes fell on Xie Guanchao.

Just moments ago, he was an incredibly imposing Huajin master who had killed an Inner Force genius from the Five Elements Sect—one who had achieved Two Meridians Unite—in just two strikes.

And yet, when faced with Sikong Shuang of the Five Elements Sect, he had immediately turned tail and fled...

Xie Guanchao seemed to know what the many disciples of the Guiyuan Sect were thinking.
