Chapter 124 - Ashamed


Ignoring Qi Ningyun and Zhao Yuanjia, Liu Wuxie turned around and returned to his room. Liu Wuxie’s disregard was gravely insulting to Qi Ningyun and Zhao Yuanjia. Qi Ningyun had never experienced such treatment before, and this naturally made her infatuated with a chill on her face.

“Master, why didn’t you make a move earlier?” Qi Ningyun was baffled. She wanted to leverage her master’s influence to force Liu Wuxie to yield the qualification to the Flame Sun Cave. She was a Profound Grade student, and her reputation would be tarnished if she made a move against Liu Wuxie.

Her plan was to use her master’s stature to pressure Liu Wuxie into surrendering the qualification voluntarily, thereby avoiding any potential criticism. After all, there’s a significant difference between willingly giving up the qualification and being forced to do so.

Zhao Yuanjia found himself in a quandary, unable to reveal to Qi Ningyun the fear he felt when he faced Liu Wuxie. The intensity of Liu Wuxie’s gaze was suffocating, akin to the god of death tightening his grip around his neck.

“There’s something peculiar about that brat that he’s able to ignore the pressure of my aura.” Despite being unwilling to admit it, Zhao Yuanjia still told Qi Ningyun the truth. If it were another student in the Xiantian Realm facing his aura as a Marrow Cleansing Realm expert, they would immediately go down on their knees, begging for mercy. But the gaze from Liu Wuxie made him feel as though needles were poking into every inch of his body.

“He’s that weird?” Qi Ningyun naturally believed her master. After all, the fact that Liu Wuxie could cripple so many students in the ninth-level Xiantian Realm meant that he wasn’t simple. It would be weird to rise in such a manner in one month if there weren’t any special encounters.

“There’s something off about him. I’ll return tonight,” Zhao Yuanjia declared, his tone filled with determination. He found it hard to let go of the intimidation he felt under Liu Wuxie’s gaze. Since he couldn’t confront him during the day, he resolved to return at night to compel Liu Wuxie to surrender the qualification, knowing there would be no further opportunities after today.

When they left, the courtyard fell into silence once more. No one came again, and Liu Wuxie didn’t go to the dining hall till the sky turned dark. He merely took out a few Heavenly Spirit Pills and swallowed them. When he circulated the Desolate Devouring Art, he devoured all the spiritual energy within a few thousand meters of radius, and he was only one step from reaching the sixth-level Xiantian Realm.

Liu Wuxie entered his golden soul sea. His days of cultivation had significantly strengthened his soul sea, with golden soul energy transforming into golden threads. These threads intertwined to form multiple bridges within his soul sea.

When night came, a shadowy figure quietly approached with the moon hanging in the sky.

“He’s finally here!” Liu Wuxie gathered his soul energy with a brutal smile hanging on his lips. He had expected someone to come at night. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

The shadowy figure landed in the courtyard silently and approached Liu Wuxie’s room stealthily. The room was shrouded in darkness, with no lamp to pierce the blackness. Even so, cultivators in the Marrow Cleansing Realm had a powerful perception, capable of sensing something more than ten meters away. Thus, the figure could hear the sound of breathing emanating from the room.

“Brat, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” The figure paused briefly outside the door before bursting inside. Upon entering, he lunged towards the source of the breathing sound, dagger in hand. His movements were swift, his dagger reaching its target in the blink of an eye. Liu Wuxie lay on his bed, vulnerable to the impending strike.

Caught by surprise, a blade ray tore apart Zhao Yuanjia’s defenses and left a wound on his right arm.

“What a pity!” Liu Wuxie’s voice sounded. He had planned to leave a serious wound with that attack earlier, but Zhao Yuanjia sensed it in advance and managed to alleviate serious injury.

“I’ll kill you!” Zhao Yuanjia bellowed, his rage echoing like a lion’s roar as he charged at the spiritual array. Each impact he made caused more cracks to appear in the array. His sole intent now was to break the array, find Liu Wuxie, and subject him to a fate worse than death.

When Zhao Yuanjia turned around, another blade ray flew over even faster this time. Zhao Yuanjia wanted to dodge, but the third blade ray containing a hint of blade intent locked onto him. This time, Zhao Yuanjia suffered injuries on his chest and back, and his blood dyed his black clothes. The pain made Zhao Yuanjia roar even more furiously, but there was nothing he could do because he couldn’t even catch Liu Wuxie.

“Brat, come and fight me like a man! You’re a coward who only knows how to hide!” Zhao Yuanjia taunted, hoping to provoke Liu Wuxie into revealing himself.

“A first-class teacher like you tried to launch a sneak attack against an Earth Grade student. Who’s the coward? Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” Liu Wuxie’s refute made Zhao Yuanjia’s face turn red. If word of tonight’s events were to spread, Zhao Yuanjia’s reputation would be ruined. This made it imperative for him to eliminate Liu Wuxie tonight, no matter the cost.

Striding a peculiar movement technique, Liu Wuxie would appear behind Zhao Yuanjia each time, and his blade would draw blood. In just ten-odd breaths, Zhao Yuanjia was covered in five to six wounds, each one causing him to wince in pain.

If this continued, Zhao Yuanjia would bleed to death. Unable to escape, he could only resort to passive defense. Had he known that Liu Wuxie had set a trap in his room, he would have avoided coming here, even at the risk of his own life.

Liu Wuxie had already set up the spiritual array the previous day to prevent a sneak attack at night. He didn’t expect his first ‘customer’ to be Qi Ningyun’s master. Whenever he unleashed a blade ray, Zhao Yuanjia would scream, but his voice couldn’t get out of the spiritual array. Thus, he could only roar towards the sky to express his anger. He was so frustrated that he wanted to commit suicide. After all, a Marrow Cleansing Realm expert like him was being toyed around by someone in the Xiantian Realm.

It didn’t take long before Zhao Yuanjia was covered with twenty-odd wounds, but none of them were fatal. The most severe one was a gash on the left side of his face, likely to leave him disfigured.

Zhao Yuanjia roared and unleashed his aura, wanting to drag Liu Wuxie down. Pushed to this point, he wouldn’t be able to dispel the hatred in his heart even if he managed to kill Liu Wuxie.

Suddenly, the spiritual array disappeared when he swung his sword down.

“The array is gone?” Zhao Yuanjia tried stepping forward before discovering that the spiritual array had disappeared. Without it, he could kill Liu Wuxie now.

“If you don’t leave now, don’t blame me for what happens next!” Liu Wuxie’s icy voice echoed from behind Zhao Yuanjia, sending a chill down his spine and prompting him to flee.
