Chapter 276: Inhuman (2)
Waves of searing heat formed an explosive cloud that was almost ten meters tall. Blankets of earth surfaced and rolled towards the sky, mutually interlocking and furling together. The representative of death, a round orb of qi infused with the taste of doom, threw itself straight at Xu Yangyi in the sky!
Before the sphere even arrived, the tremendous blast wave had already collided against his suit, causing it to ripple loudly in the wind! Every single one of his follicles was trembling! He hadnât foreseen that this enemy would actually be so crazed. In order to kill him alone, the enemy had borrowed a shield of a hundred-plus innocent tourists and used their lives as a cornerstone, simply bereft of human nature!
The opposing party also hadnât anticipated that Xu Yangyi⊠could actually jump so high! Moreover, a pair of wings was gliding in the air. Based on their predictions, ten-somewhat meters was Xu Yangyiâs base limit. This suicide bombing employed a machine puppet. Apart from movement, it simply couldnât have qi otherwise. There was no question that the deviceâs range and power were sufficient to blow him into smithereens!
Insane⊠The enemy had already gone insane⊠Xu Yangyi no longer had the time to consider anyone else, and his two hands immediately formed a seal. âStarfire!!!â
Buzz!
Without warning, the wings on his back powerfully shook and vibrated. Shortly afterwards, his body rose up by another twenty meters! He reached an inhuman height of over forty meters! However, he wasnât able to hover for long. Starting from winding around the explosive shock wave in midair, he was smoothly gliding.
In this moment, there was no sound. Human nature and the world seemed to crumble apart in this instant. Below him, there were eleven ten-meter-wide qi orbs, and in the surroundings⊠only a swath of bloody red.
It wasnât the blood of cultivators but rather mortals⊠the blood of those ordinary tourists. Due to the selfish desire of those in the darkness, while they had arrived to Tianzi Mountain in joy, they would no longer be able to return home.
âSon of a bitchâŠâ Xu Yangyi took a deep breath. The explosion hadnât endangered him, but the devastation below was a ghastly sight, astonishing both his eyes and heart.
He saw a girl who hadnât reacted at all in the face of being engulfed by the explosive wave. He saw an old man stare at everything before his eyes in shock. The old man was relatively far away, and his wizened figure screamed out as he turned around, yet because of his advanced age and slow movements, he was swallowed into the sea of fire in the next second. He also saw a youth who had promptly laid down. The youth was covered in cuts and bruises and screaming hoarsely, but he was drowned by the rushing crowd coming from behind.
In all but a fleeting moment, the entrance way of the spirited Tianzi Mountain scenery⊠had transformed into a lesser hell on earth!
Chaos⊠Total chaos⊠Xu Yangyi closed his eyes. He wasnât too worried about the Cultivation Court, but he likewise wouldnât sit and wait for death. But⊠he had a bottom line! He wouldnât borrow a hundred lives just so a single one would be unable to slip away. At the bare minimum, he wouldnât do such a thing at the present.
This event⊠truly stirred the seething killing intent in his heart.
âIâŠâ He glanced downwards at the shrieking and fleeing crowd, his voice firm and decisive, able to cut through nails and iron, âwill definitely hang your heads in front of Tianzi Mountain.â
âYour sins are too deep; not even death can wipe away your crimes!â
This explosion had bombed countless families. He, whose family had been annihilated, could understand the agony in this all too well.
The extinguishment of human nature⊠perhaps it could be said that the actor of this event had long since become unworthy of being human.
Swish swish swishâŠ
The blast wave finally subsided. Xu Yangyi took a deep breath, stowed his wings, and descended.
All around, there were weeping, screeching, and panicked crowds. Countless people were hugging, regardless of whether they knew each other or not and wailing hoarsely. Below his feet, the ground had been dyed red with fresh blood. Broken and ruined arms were scattered everywhere. There were even more corpses that had been drowned within the spirit shock wave in a flash.
âI know youâre watching.â After ages of silence, Xu Yangyi raised his head and looked all around. His voice was calm, but the killing intent within it seeped into oneâs bones and caused a coldness to be born. âSo I want to tell you.â
âThis time in Nanzhou, even until thereâs one last person fighting to the end in the Xingtian Legion, they absolutely wonât allow you to plant your flag!â
A hundred people had died because of him. This was karma. But this was indeed the sin of the person who had acted!
An unpardonable sin!
His actions had trod over Xu Yangyiâs bottom line. Based on his principles, Xu Yangyi absolutely wouldn't shrink back!
In the crowd, in an extremely distant place, the leader of a tour group coolly pulled down his hat. A sneer hung at the crook of his mouth, and he made a gesture to move.
âThird Master.â At his side, a man whispered, âWouldnât it be better for us finish things now that weâve taken actionâŠâ
The brim of the leading manâs hat was low, his true appearance nebulous. He only nodded. âAlthough weâve paid a massive price for this operation, too much doesnât mean that the Chinese government and the Cultivation Court wonât care. The display of abilities in public is the Chinese governmentâs taboo. Weâve paid no less than a medium-sized spirit stone mine to get the government to shut up. The target is already on alert now. Thereâs no advantage in provocation. Once activities really get going, thereâs no way that the Cultivation Court wonât be concerned.â
âIts already big enough now.â An old man wearing a red travel hat laughed coldly, âNothing more than some insignificant mortal lives. To be able to die at the hands of our Nalan Clan is an honor heavier than Mount Tai.â
âIâm not worried about the amount of dead mortals. Whether or not we can kill him is what I care about this most.â The leader used an extremely cryptic gaze to brush an eye over Xu Yangyi. âWe waited at the door of the Ironforge Stronghold for several months to get todayâs chance⊠Whatever he came to do at Tianzi Mountain isnât important. Whatâs importantâŠâ He said apathetically, âis that he must die here.â
âGoâŠâ He hinted at everyone to enter. âSince he wants to go in⊠weâll be waiting inside for him⊠hehehe⊠The mountain forests⊠is our home turf.â
No one paid attention to their figures. Even if Xu Yangyiâs spiritual sense was wider, he still wouldâve had a hard time finding them in such a chaotic scene. And this scene, in both screeching and wailing, had long since joined to become a block print of mourning.
[1]
âMr. Xu.â Xu Yangyiâs face was like ice as he ran his eyes over the landscape. Finally, someone walked over from behind him and saluted. âPlease⊠come with us.â
Xu Yangyi turned and glanced dimly at the military captain. The manâs courage was quite good. Over a hundred people had vanished before his eyes, yet he unexpectedly still had the guts to walk into the heart of the explosion.
âI believe my identification has already made a clear statement.â The manâs courage was laudable, but this didnât represent that he himself was free of mind to keep chatting. âI have an important matter now. If Iâve been verified, let me pass.â
The captainâs face carried deep reverence. Xu Yangyi hadnât turned around, but he sounded quite young. He absolutely dared not disrespect the other in the slightest. The soldiers on duty that he brought with him were holding guns, yet not a single one of them took aim at Xu Yangyi.
Furthermore⊠their gun-holding hands were somewhat shaking.
Just now⊠this man⊠had soared upwards!
Perhaps everyone else mightâve forgot, but the captain hadnât! With his own eyes, he had watched Xu Yangyi jump thirty to forty meters up into the air! Was this even human?!
Perhaps he was still moderately skeptical of Xu Yangyiâs SF identification before, but now he didnât doubt it whatsoever!
âThatâs not how things are⊠Mr. Xu, is there some place you require our company?â The company captain deliberated and said, although his legs were still trembling a little. âThis assassin is truly insane! We must bring him to justice!â
Xu Yangyi finally turned his head, looked at the thirtyish-years-old captain, and said calmly, âYour laws canât control him. But you do indeed have a fitting place.â
âPlease speak.â
âImmediately report to your superiorsâŠâ Xu Yangyi looked towards Tianzi Mountain. He had finally finished scanning through everyone present. All their reactions were very real. That illustrated one thingâŠ
The opposing party had already left this place and entered the mountain to wait for him. Perhaps they were even laying down an inescapable net. However, did they believe he would retreat just because of this?
He laughed grimly, âTell them that no matter what you hear, donât go in.â
He would personally wipe out all the enemy operatives in Tianzi Mountain!
Finished speaking, Xu Yangyi slowly walked towards the park entrance step by step. All the soldiers watched him come over and looked at him as if he was an asura. Without word or movement, they tightly clenched their somewhat trembling guns.
âPut those things down.â Li Zongyuan promptly followed. âTheyâre no use against us.â
It wasnât until their figures had disappeared from the entrance did a sergeant at the captainâs side take a long sigh of relief. He spread out his hands, both of them covered in cold sweat, and said tremblingly, âWho was that guy⊠Frickinâ awful⊠That feeling, that oppressive power isnât normal strength.â
âYou havenât heard about the SF identification?â The captainâs body also went somewhat soft, and he immediately left the heart of the explosion. His voice was also a little floaty. âSo it turns out⊠that department really did exist. What the hell do I know about their operations⊠theyâre all superhumansâŠâ
âSF identification?!â The sergeant was startled. âThat identification actually exists? Isnât this the first time weâve seen it? Was t-that even human!â
âRegardless of whether or not it was, the higher-ups havenât said anything about this ID to us, anyways. They only said to immediately let the person go upon seeing this ID!â
Tianzi Mountain was a famous national-level scenic area. The inside was a stretch of uncivilized, primitive forest. However, while this place was famous, it was still mountain.
The mountain here was different from other places. It appeared not to be naturally formed but instead carved with a blade and chiseled with a hatchet. One mountain lead straight towards the sky, resembling a perfectly straight sword from bottom to top. The absence of an ordinary mountainâs gentleness and agreeability was noted all around. On the contrary, a kind of stern feeling was expressed. Walking here seemed like walking on a tomb of swords.
[2]
Xu Yangyi didnât take the mountain paths at all. He found a deserted location and promptly traced his storage ring. A strange key immediately floated out in front of him.
Li Zongyuan kneeled down on the spot with almost any hesitation. Moreover⊠his body was trembling.
âWhatâs up with you?â Xu Yangyi furrowed his brows and said.
âMasterâŠâ Li Zongyuan was gasping for breath and said shakily, âW-Where did you get t-this key⊠Itâs too awful⊠It, I-I only took a quick look at it, and my spiritual sense feels like itâs going to collapseâŠâ
Xu Yangyi raised a brow. He didnât feel like that in the slightest. Perhaps⊠this was the bloodline suppression of higher-ranked demons on lesser-ranked demons?
Xiaoqing⊠was no longer an azure carp. Through 3,600 years of cultivation, she had almost walked all of human historical development. She had already obtained the form of a Kun Peng!
He didnât answer Li Zongyuan, only hinting to the toad-demon to stand up. At this time, this key that couldnât be anymore ordinary unexpectedly flared with a layer of misty azure light. Soon afterwards, heedless of any control, it changed angles by itself in midair and took aim at the shortest and most distant mountain.
âThat place over there is our objective.â Xu Yangyi raised an eye and looked over at the endless unbroken forest in the middle. âI donât know if there are more people hidden here.â
âMore people?â Li Zongyuan was surprised but immediately thought that such a situation was given. Since the opposing party was aware that they had entered the mountains and forests, they had evidently squatted at Grandmaster Gao Muyaâs door for a good several months. In addition, they had dared to launch an attack here, and this vast jungle was practically a natural hunting ground!

2. âTomb of Swordsâ. Author might be making a specific nod to a character in another work of fiction by Jin Yong. In the Condor Trilogy, there is an invincible swordsman (Dugu Qiubai) whose resting place is titled the âTomb of Swordsâ. It is a mound of swords.
