Chapter 45: Windcloud Palm

Although Wang Chuanxiong was aware of their identities, his faithfulness lay with Ling Xiao so he would not put up with the duo disrespecting Ling Xiao.

“Senior Brother Qi, Senior Sister Lu, the Saint is cultivating in isolation. You can let me know if there’s anything and I will pass the message along!”

Wang Chuanxiong replied dully as he stood in the way of Qi Yuanhua and Lu Lishan.

“That’s right! You aren’t allowed to enter!”

Gu Zhong chimed in.

“How dare you!”

Qi Yuanhua’s gaze turned cold. It had never occurred to him that two measly inner sect disciples would get in his way. After all, Qi Yuanhua and Lu Lishan were celebrated figures who enjoyed widespread favor in Longevity Sect; no one dared to disobey them.

“Get out of my way!”

The ego in Qi Yuanhua contributed to his refusal to listen to Wang Chuanxiong and Gu Zhong’s explanations. Annoyed by their tactlessness, Qi Yuanhua made a move.

Wham!

Qi Yuanhua pushed forth a palm towards Wang Chuanxiong and Gu Zhong and immediately, the surroundings were overcast with wind and clouds. It was as though Qi Yuanhua could control the weather from the palm of his hands.

“Windcloud Palm?!”

Recognition dawned on Wang Chuanxiong’s face as he identified the skill to be an Onyx level peerless martial art. Since Qi Yuanhua’s cultivation was at Spiritualization Boundary, the skill exploded with powerful force.

Clang!

Without a minute to spare, Wang Chuanxiong drew the heavy sword behind his back to materialize his body of innate True Qi. After amassing shreds of blade radiance, he sliced it through the air.

This overbearing slash veiled the sky with blade radiance that carried a type of life force that seemed as if it could hold the sky yet devour the stars in its path.

This was the Sky Weight Sword that was given to him by Ling Xiao!

Although Wang Chuanxiong had only picked up a smattering of the skill, it was still way stronger than the Iron Sword Technique he had cultivated before.

Grrruuuum!

The wind and cloud combo that Qi Yuanhua materialized was scattered away by Wang Chuanxiong’s single slice. However, Qi Yuanhua’s limbs shook involuntarily when he detected the life force from Wang Chuanxiong’s heavy sword.

Bam!

Nevertheless, since Qi Huayuan’s cultivation was at the seventh tier Spiritualization Boundary, he was still a boundary higher than Wang Chuanxiong’s cultivation. With that, the omnipotent force from his Windcloud Palm eventually shattered the countless blade radiances before it violently hit the heavy sword.

As his vital energy fell in turmoil, Wang Chuanxiong was forced to take a dozen steps back from the impact.

“What technique is this? How can it resist my palm?”

Qi Yuanhua was surprised. He may not know of the martial art Wang Chuanxiong had cultivated, but he had an eye for detail. From their exchange in blows, he could sense that it was no ordinary sword technique.

This type of momentum, as if it could hold the sky yet destroy the stars, led him to believe that the technique was superior to the Seven Star to Moon Sword.

“It must be an Earthly level martial art and possibly an Earth level moderate martial art!”

Greed was written all over Qi Yuanhua’s face. He could rule the world and do as he pleased if he were to get his hands on that martial art.

Despite the thoughts that were running through his head, Qi Yuanhua maintained a righteous demeanor. He shouted, “How dare you! How could you lay your hands on a senior? I’ll have to teach you a lesson!”

A killing intent suddenly flashed past Qi Yuanhua’s eyes. He had made up his mind to kidnap Wang Chuanxiong and interrogate him on the martial art later.

Ggrrruuumm!

Qi Yuanhua spared no effort in unleashing his skill.

With his rampant inner True Qi, wind and clouds stirred to form a huge palm shadow that came crashing down on Wang Chuanxiong.

Although Wang Chuanxiong managed to resist several few moves, he quickly found himself in a disadvantageous position.

After all, he was still lacking in cultivation.

Wham!

Slamming palm after palm, Qi Yuanhua eventually forced Wang Chuanxiong to fly backward and spit out a mouthful of blood.

“Brother!”

Gu Zhong screamed before he quickly ran to Wang Chuanxiong to help him up. Then, he stared at Qi Yuanhua with hatred.

“You’ll pay for this!” Gu Zhong shrieked.

Feeling his blood rush, he bulged his muscle and emitted a demonic life force.

Gu Zhong leaped forward and like a muscular demonic bull, he swung his mighty fist toward Qi Yuanhua.

“Gu Zhong, come back!”

Disregarding the blood-spewing sensation in his mouth, Wang Chuanxiong cried out in panic.

If Wang Chuanxiong was no match for Qi Yuanhua, then there was no use for Gu Zhong to advance ahead.

Qi Yuanhua’s unyielding tactics left Wang Chuanxiong concerned for Gu Zhong.

“You’re dead meat!”

With a sparkle in his eyes, Qi Yuanhua pulled forward a Windcloud Palm, unleashing his Spiritualization Boundary cultivation in full. He slapped Gu Zhong and slammed him towards the bamboo forest in the distance. Whether Gu Zhong survived or not, they did not know.

However, the battle had startled Ling Xiao who was in deep thought.

When he realized the situation that was going on outside, his eyes turned very cold.

“You sure dare to be hasty in Jin Se Pavilion!”

Ling Xiao yelled before he flew out of Jin Se Pavilion and immediately pulled a punch at Qi Yuanhua.

“Ling Xiao?”

Sensing trouble, Qi Yuanhua’s expression hardened at Ling Xiao’s appearance. He started to back down as he recalled that this was the man who had killed Lin Haoyu.

However, he had no choice but to ward off Ling Xiao’s attack, hence Qi Yuanhua initiated the Windcloud Palm.

Bam!

At the exchange of blows, Qi Yuanhua knew he made the wrong move.

The strong force crushed through Qi Yuanhua’s line of True Qi defense before it dived into his body.

Qi Yuanhua was blasted away by the fist magnitude that had a vast Yang energy but bore the life force of the Titanium Demon-Slaying punch.

Ka-cha!

At a soft crackling sound, Qi Yuanhua’s arm snapped apart. As immense pain overwhelmed Qi Yuanhua, he could not help but let out a blood-curdling yelp before he fell onto the ground.

“I’ve crippled your arm as punishment. Anyone who plays with fire in my Jin Se Pavilion will be executed!”

Ling Xiao announced with a cold look on his face.

It had never crossed Ling Xiao’s mind that people would come looking for trouble after he killed Lin Haoyu. However, he had a hunch that the duo were Lin Shan’s underlings.

“Ling Xiao, don’t give us any of your lip!”

Unable to tolerate the matter further, Lu Lishan jumped out to accuse Ling Xiao, “We are here on the Grand Supreme Elder’s orders to escort you to the Elders’ Adjudication Meeting. Are you trying to retaliate by hurting Senior Brother Qi?”

“The Elders’ Adjudication Meeting?”

A glint flickered in Ling Xiao’s eyes. Yet at that moment, nine drawn-out gongs shook the entire Longevity Sect.

“That’s right! Ling Xiao, you’ve committed a serious crime for killing Senior Brother Lin. The Grand Supreme Elder has called for the Elders’ Adjudication meeting to sentence you. It’s better if you don’t resist or you’ll be looking at the afterlife!”

Pale in the face, Qi Yuanhua stood up with a hand over his shoulder. He looked towards Ling Xiao with resentment in his eyes.

“You’re noisy!”

With a hardened expression, Ling Xiao lashed another slap.

Pa!

Suddenly, Qi Yuanhua jolted away screaming. The lightning-like slap was so fast that he could not respond in time.

“Saint, you can’t go! No good came to anyone who was tried in the Elders’ Adjudication Meeting in the history of Longevity Sect! You should make your escape as far away as possible!”

Shocked, Wang Han walked out and exclaimed.
