26: Chapter 26: Killing Guo Kun

“What does Jiang Xuan mean by that? What is a true Spirit Infant Realm?” The people around him had just seen Jiang Xuan wave his hand, and the terrifying Spirit Infant pressure dissipated, leaving them utterly shocked.

Now, he said something even more astonishing, “Could it be that his cultivation is…”

The crowd looked at each other. If it was truly as they suspected, then it would be too terrifying.

“Boom!” Spiritual Qi around Jiang Xuan became extremely violent. All the surrounding pebbles were blown up and suspended in mid-air. His long hair flew, his robes fluttered, and the powerful aura made it difficult for everyone to breathe.

“This aura is even more terrifying than the aura Guo Kun just released. There’s no mistake, it really is the Spirit Infant Realm!”

Everyone was greatly alarmed. The Spirit Infant Realm was a Realm only achieved by the top ten in the Inner Courtyard, and those people were all at least in their thirties. How old was Jiang Xuan?

Ye Wushuang’s eyes widened. “Is this your confidence? To reach the Spirit Infant Realm at such a young age is indeed astonishing.” He clenched his fists. “Am I really worthy of being your friend?”

Ye Yun stared at Jiang Xuan, his eyes filled with shock and admiration. “Dean, where did you find such a monster?”

Guo Kun was almost dumbfounded. He had considered countless possibilities, but never this one. He vigorously shook his head, trying to dispel the distracting thoughts in his mind.

“Jiang Xuan, even if you are in the Spirit Infant Realm, what of it? It’s not certain who will win! Die for me!” Guo Kun roared, and the blade in his hand twisted. “Whirlwind Saber Art!”

With a loud shout, Guo Kun slashed out with his saber, forming a gale that swept towards Jiang Xuan. The wind contained sharp Saber Intent, as if it wanted to cut Jiang Xuan into pieces.

“This is Guo Kun’s Whirlwind Saber Art. I didn’t expect him to have already formed Saber Intent. Even an ordinary Spirit Infant Realm cultivator wouldn’t dare to take this Saber Move head-on,” Ye Yun said in a deep voice.

But was Jiang Xuan an ordinary person? “This Saber Move has some meaning, but it’s only a little meaningful.” Jiang Xuan smiled faintly, allowing the Saber wind to strike him without any intention of dodging.

Guo Kun watched Jiang Xuan stand still, a mocking expression on his face, his demeanor cold. “Heh heh, have you given up resisting? If I kill you, everything will be over.”

“Haha, Jiang Xuan, to die by my saber, you should be proud enough!” Guo Kun laughed triumphantly. No matter how much of a Genius you are, you still die by my saber.

“Rumble.” The Saber wind struck Jiang Xuan, creating a huge sound, and a thick smoke rose. The situation inside was unclear, but from the commotion, Jiang Xuan was likely in dire straits.

“He… he just died like that?”

“Alas, Jiang Xuan was still too overconfident. What a pity for such great talent,” someone lamented.

Only the two Ye Family brothers looked puzzled. Did it really end like this?

Guo Kun saw no movement for a long time and thought that Jiang Xuan had been blasted into oblivion by him. “Hmph, Jiang Xuan, this is the consequence of offending my Guo Family.

Even if your talent is unmatched, what then? A Genius who hasn’t grown up is nothing.”

“Is that so? Heh heh, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you.”

Just then, a faint voice resounded through the Void Realm. Everyone was greatly startled. Then, they saw the smoke being dispersed by some force, and Jiang Xuan’s figure slowly appeared before everyone’s eyes. He was completely unharmed, without even a speck of dust.

“How is that possible! How could you be fine? I clearly saw the Saber wind strike your body!” Guo Kun’s eyes almost popped out.

Jiang Xuan secretly mocked him. “You, with your half-baked Spirit Infant Realm cultivation, want to break my Red Rock Dragon Scale Armor? Dream on!”

“I just took a Move from you. Now it’s your turn to take a Move from me,” Jiang Xuan said calmly, his expression serene.

“Hmph, are you afraid? Bring out whatever Move you have!” Guo Kun said disdainfully. He didn’t believe Jiang Xuan could do anything to him; at most, it would be a draw.

“Move?” Jiang Xuan shook his head, his tone contemptuous. “The Spirit Infant Realm me, to deal with you, doesn’t need to use a Move. You’re not worthy!”

Then, he raised his hand and struck down at Guo Kun with his palm.

Facing Jiang Xuan’s contempt, Guo Feng’s eyes blazed with fire. He used all his Spiritual Qi. No matter what, he had to block this palm. However, when Jiang Xuan’s palm descended, he realized how ridiculous he was.

He felt his strength was pitifully weak in front of Jiang Xuan. He couldn’t block this palm!

“I’ll risk it! Even if I can’t block it, I have to!”

“Uh… Ah!” Guo Kun’s mouth was wide enough to fit a fist, his hands were bulging with veins, and he burned his last bit of strength, desperately resisting Jiang Xuan’s attack.

However, it was useless. Jiang Xuan’s palm only paused for a moment before striking Guo Kun’s body, slamming him to the ground and forming a deep pit.

Guo Kun lay in the deep pit, his chest caved in, his clothes tattered, and blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He was barely clinging to life.

He looked at Jiang Xuan with a dazed expression. At this moment, he saw death beckoning to him, and a hint of fear finally appeared in his eyes. “Sp-spare me…”

A weak voice sounded. Jiang Xuan looked down, his expression calm. “The moment you showed killing intent towards me, you were already a dead man. I won’t leave any hidden dangers for myself, because I can’t afford to gamble.”

After speaking, he stepped on Guo Kun’s neck, and with a forceful crunch, the latter completely lost his breath.

Ye Yun looked at Guo Kun, who had died and his Dao dissipated, and sighed. “Alas, we’ve worked together for so many years. Although we usually didn’t get along, I didn’t expect him to die like this. Life is truly unpredictable.”

Ye Wushuang, who was beside him, said, “The people of the Guo Family have never done anything good in the academy on weekdays, and outside the academy, they have done countless shady dealings. Their death is well-deserved.”

Ye Yun was noncommittal, shaking his head with a smile. “Jiang Xuan killed Guo Kun today, which means he has completely fallen out with the Guo Family. Have you thought it through? Do you still want to follow him?”

Ye Wushuang’s tone was firm. “I believe in my Physique. Its feeling won’t be wrong.”

Ye Yun seemed to know he would answer this way. He nodded, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he thought to himself, “In that case, Third Brother, then the entire Ye Family will gamble with you!”

Inside the courtyard, Jiang Xuan put away Guo Kun’s Storage Ring. An Enforcement Hall captain should have had a lot of ill-gotten gains. He calmly glanced at the remaining few people and then paid them no more attention.

Those people were not from the Guo Family and had not shown any killing intent from beginning to end; they were just following orders, except for being disrespectful.

He warned them with a look, and the few people ran away stumbling in fright.

Jiang Xuan turned his head and looked at Cheng Yuan, who was disheveled and had bloodstains at the corner of her mouth at the entrance. With a casual wave of his hand, a chain made of Spiritual Qi appeared in the air. Spiritual Qi surged in his hand, and the Void Realm chain bound Cheng Yuan in mid-air.

Cheng Yuan painfully opened her eyes, her gaze towards Jiang Xuan filled with fear. Jiang Xuan’s strike just now had completely shattered her Dantian Qi Sea. Now, she was like the former Jiang Xuan, a cripple.

Jiang Xuan held the chain in his right hand, walked to Ye Wushuang, and said with a smile, “Brother Ye, could you lead the way for me one more time? This time, we’re going to… the Inner Courtyard.”

Ye Wushuang’s body trembled, and he asked nervously, “Another Gathering Qi Pill?”

“No, this time, there’s no reward,” Jiang Xuan replied with a smile.

After a long while, the two looked at each other and smiled.
