There was an ice-cold moon sitting in the black sky as it approached midnight.
At midnight, the rocky ravine looked like a rugged forest formed by oddly shaped rocks. Under the moonlight, it looked especially creepy.
Yao Long, who waited alone in the stone forest suddenly felt that he might have been tricked by Chu Chen.
Yao Long could not help but blame himself for wanting to get rid of this runt who has been a thorn in his cousin’s side for ages. However, he forgot that even a useless bum in the Spiritual Mist Stage would not come to die in vain even if he had the biggest balls in the world. After all, he was not a fool.
“So, the useless bum who can’t even keep guard on the sect sword knows only to play tricks to deceive people. When I get back, I’ll have to give this little liar the worst of it.”
“There’s still a bit of uncertainty on who will be getting the worst of it.”
A slightly thin young man with an indifferent expression on his face suddenly walked over from the other end of the stone forest.
‘This guy was really crazy; he came to get himself killed!’
Yao Long smiled. He had not expected that this second-level Spiritual Mist Stage bum would actually show up. It seemed to him that Chu Chen must have knocked his head after falling, and lady luck was on his side.
Yao Long had planned to throw Chu Chen’s corpse down into the rocky ravine after he had killed him. No one knew about this private fight anyway, so he certainly would not be faulted in the future. ‘After cousin brother, Yao Jinghai, learns of this, I’ll definitely be well rewarded.
“Boy, you can go to the netherworld with peace of mind, Junior Sister Tong Meng will be taken care of.”
“You are wrong, your cousin will be losing a follower right this instance!”
As Chu Chen spoke, the spark in his eyes became extremely sharp.
“Coming from a useless bum who has never been able to condense a single drop of spiritual droplets in his lifetime?”
Yao Long smiled smugly before violently charging forward. His plump figure suddenly became unusually fluid like an agile yet ferocious wolf.
A blue photosphere burst out violently from his right palm. The high-speed rotating sphere condensed by spiritual energy raised up a storm of energy that looked as if it could destroy anything in its path.
“Universe Palm Control!”
With a strong Wind Power, Yao Long appeared in front of Chu Chen in a flash.
Chu Chen had no intention of dodging at all.
Just as the high-speed rotating photosphere in Yao Long’s palm that was continuously expanding was about to touch his body, Chu Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up, and two gleams that seemed like it was able to tear through the fabric of space shone out from within. Subtle fluctuations suddenly appeared in the surrounding space, like ripples that spread in every direction!
This was obviously a sign that Chu Chen’s spiritual consciousness was activated. Yao Long could not help but sigh in his heart. ‘This kid really is a rookie, what is the point of activating spiritual consciousness at this critical moment?!’
Bang!
At that crucial moment, Chu Chen slipped his shoulder and avoided Yao Long’s palm attack. The spiritual sphere in Yao Long’s palm dispersed into thin air. When the bright light bloomed, the entire space began to grow turbulent.
Yao Long had never expected that his violent attack could be avoided by Chu Chen? How was this possible! He had put in 80% of his strength into that attack.
Crack!
Yao Long suddenly noticed that his wrist was bent. Chu Chen’s left hand had clasped his right wrist that he did not have time to retract, and his elbow was also held onto by Chu Chen’s other hand.
This was the most basic mini grappling hand of the sect. Yao Long sneered in his heart. ‘You must be kidding yourself if you think you can restrain me with this level of “grappling hand”.’. He pulled on his shoulder forcefully and tugged his arm sideways at the speed of light.
“Shit!”
Although Yao Long broke free from Chu Chen’s grip, he realized that there was a huge pain that spread from his shoulders to his whole body. Yao Long staggered and swayed about as he saw to his horror that his right arm had been detached from his body unknowingly.
Chu Chen stood coldly while he held his right arm. Yao Long had broken free by forcibly pulling off one of his right arms?!
A fountain of viscous blood spewed out from the broken arm, and Yao Long was in so much pain that he almost lost consciousness completely.
‘How could this be possible?! I am a powerhouse who has condensed spiritual droplets, how could…this useless bum rip off an arm of mine?!’ An inexplicable fear rose from within Yao Long.
“You…”
Yao Long looked at the young man in front of him that held his broken arm as though he was looking at a demon. The great pain that he felt caused his body to shake uncontrollably and he was unable to support himself.
Chu Chen looked at him coldly and threw his segregated arm down the mountain stream which was ten feet deep.
“How could this be? You must have used some witchcraft…”
Before Yao Long could finish his sentence, Chu Chen appeared in front of him almost instantly and delivered a devastating kick to Yao Long’s chest.
Boom!
Accompanied by the sound of broken ribs, Yao Long, whose pupils contracted violently, was in so much pain that he nearly blacked out. His chest was deeply recessed, and blood continued to gush from his mouth and nose.
The worst thing was his fat body was thrown back crazily from the huge impact.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
With the dust, debris, and stone chips flying, Yao Long’s body was flying around like a cannonball. He smashed through four thick stone pillars in a row. He flew for tens of meters before he stopped and hung onto an oddly shaped stone.
“Any last words?” The young man approached Yao Long coldly.
“You…if you do this, do you think my cousin Yao Jinghai will let it go?” Yao Long panted intermittently, his eyes that were covered with blood showed a killer stare.
“No one will know that I did it. You yourself said that I am a useless bum that would stay at the second level of the Spiritual Mist Stage forever. Nobody will suspect I had anything to do with your mysterious disappearance.”
Chu Chen said calmly as he grabbed onto Yao Long’s neck. Despite his dying struggle, Chu Chen slowly lifted him up high.
Yao Long could not speak anymore, he could only make ambiguous nasal sounds. His eyes were ridden with fear. He did not expect that the useless bum who had been bullied by him over the years would suddenly become such a different person.
Bang!
After the hukou (TN: a part of the hand between the thumb and the index finger) of Chu Chen’s right hand pulled back towards his body, Yao Long’s head exploded immediately, and a cloud of bloody mist splashed everywhere!
After Chu Chen threw the corpse down the bottomless rocky ravine cliffs, he quickly left the scene.
When Chu Chen returned to his house, he still felt his heart beating very hard.
After all, it was the first time he had killed someone. Although he had acted coldly just now, he actually felt a buzz inside of him.
Having been a bum for more than three years, he was ridiculed to an intolerable extent and experienced every bit of coldness from others, especially when he was regarded as a nail in the eye by the Yao family, the eldest senior brother of the external sect. It could be said that he had a very aggrieved life.
This time, he skipped stages and killed Yao Long. There was an unspeakable joy in his heart.
He had been protected by the little junior sister for three years, and it was time for him to protect her. He finally had the ability to protect her.
However, Chu Chen knew very well that although he was cultivating superbly in the Spiritual Mist Stage, his first nodus in cultivation- Spiritual Condensation would be soon. It will be extremely difficult to condense the first drop of spiritual droplets.
Most of the disciples will take at least a year or more to break through the Spiritual Mist Stage and condense the first drop of spiritual water. Chu Chen hoped that he could do so within a month.
After all, the external Eldest Senior Brother Yao Jinghai had reached the fifth level of the Spiritual Droplets Stage two years ago, and now he was even more unfathomable.
