11: Chapter 11 The Azure Dragon Society's Revenge

"Heh... kid, you're quite Zhang Kuang!"

"Is it that you don't know the reputation of our Azure Dragon Society, or do you think the Jiang Family will stand up for you?"

In the middle-aged man's eyes, killing intent erupted.

Daring to provoke their Azure Dragon Society—it would be one thing if he were truly a member of the Jiang Family, but Jiang Ling was a piece of trash who had been expelled from the Family. This could not be tolerated.

"I just feel like in front of me, you're all just a bunch of experience babies!"

Jiang Ling's face still carried a nonchalant smile.

Among these Martial Artists of the Azure Dragon Society, the leading middle-aged man was Level 15, while the rest consisted of only one Level 12 and one Level 11.

And after a day of hunting yesterday, Jiang Ling had already reached Level 11.

Facing these small fries, there was simply no pressure at all.

"It seems you really are seeking death!"

The middle-aged man finally grew enraged, swinging his large axe. "Hack him to death!"

"Yes!"

Hearing their leader's command, the lackeys of the Azure Dragon Society immediately rushed toward Jiang Ling with their weapons, intending to hack him into mincemeat.

Seeing this, Jiang Ling dodged and instantly appeared before two of the Azure Dragon Society lackeys, his horizontal saber swinging out with lightning speed.

Puchi, puchi...

A cold light flashed, and two heads fell to the ground.

"What?"

Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man holding the axe was instantly shocked.

How could a high school student possess such strength, instantly killing two of his subordinates in a single second?

These two subordinates were Level 8 and Level 9!

"You... you've reached the First Rank?"

"To be precise, I'm Level 11!" Jiang Ling said with a smile.

"Level 11?"

The middle-aged man's eyes widened instantly.

"How is that possible?"

"You've just started high school and you're already Level 11?"

Normally, a high school student who could reach Level 5 at this stage would already be considered a favored child of heaven.

Average students were only Level 3 or Level 4.

This Level 11 was something even many university freshmen couldn't achieve.

"Is it not allowed?"

Jiang Ling said with a smile, "Why don't you come and try!"

"Hmph!"

A sharp glint flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. "So what if you really are Level 11?"

"I am Level 15!"

"Everyone, get back!"

The middle-aged man roared, and the massive axe in his hand cleaved down toward Jiang Ling.

The middle-aged man's Supernatural Ability belonged to the Enhancement-type; his body's basic attributes were much stronger than those of an ordinary person.

He was currently Level 15, but his strength could already reach the level of an average Level 20 Martial Artist.

His axe was no ordinary weapon either; it was a C-Rank Supernatural Battleaxe. When swung, it could increase the force of the cleave.

The middle-aged man had once tried using this axe to cleave a Level 18 Iron-backed Bear directly in half.

Jiang Ling was only Level 11; in front of him, he was completely outmatched.

Since he wasn't a scion of the Jiang Family, even if he killed him, the Jiang Family wouldn't intervene, so he had nothing to worry about.

Seeing the middle-aged man's axe cleaving down, a slight competitive glint flashed in Jiang Ling's eyes, intentionally wanting to compete in strength with this man.

Thus, he did not use his Divine Thunder Supernatural Ability, nor did he use Wind Thunder Slash. He simply used his own strength, combined with his horizontal saber, to meet the man's axe.

The horizontal saber was a light weapon, while the axe was a heavy weapon.

Jiang Ling clashing like this was a thankless and disadvantageous way of fighting!

However, Jiang Ling didn't care!

What he wanted was to test exactly what stage his strength had reached.

Seeing that Jiang Ling was actually using a horizontal saber to clash head-on with his axe, the middle-aged man suddenly revealed a brilliant smile.

This kid really is green!

He actually didn't know the simple logic that light weapons cannot clash head-on with heavy weapons!

Never mind that Jiang Ling was four levels lower than him; even if Jiang Ling were four levels higher, clashing like this would be seeking his own death.

Bang!

The middle-aged man's axe and Jiang Ling's horizontal saber collided, producing a clanging sound of metal hitting metal.

The middle-aged man fully expected that this axe blow would cleave Jiang Ling, saber and all, directly in half.

However, the moment his axe struck Jiang Ling's horizontal saber, he felt a surging force rush toward him, completely blocking the power of his axe.

Moreover, this force was continuous, actually making him almost unable to hold onto his axe as his entire body was pushed backward.

He retreated a full seven or eight steps before steadying himself.

"What?"

The middle-aged man's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with disbelief.

The lackeys beside him were the same; their eyes almost popped out of their sockets, their faces full of incredulity.

They were very clear about their boss's strength.

With this axe blow, even a Level 20 Martial Artist wouldn't dare to take it head-on.

Yet Jiang Ling had actually blocked it with a horizontal saber and even knocked their boss back seven or eight steps?

What kind of monster is this kid?

"You... how is this possible?"

The middle-aged man stared at Jiang Ling, his mind losing the ability to think.

Jiang Ling glanced at the middle-aged man, then checked his horizontal saber. Finding that the blade hadn't been notched, he suddenly revealed a brilliant smile.

His strength was indeed powerful enough.

Using a light weapon like a horizontal saber to withstand the opponent's heavy weapon and still being able to knock the opponent back.

"In this world, there are many things that cannot be understood!"

"And you don't need to understand!"

"You only need to know that today... you all must die!"

...

"Don't be so Zhang Kuang!"

The middle-aged man snorted and gritted his teeth. "Your strength is indeed abnormal, but... victory between Martial Artists isn't just about strength!"

"You're right," Jiang Ling smiled. "Victory between Martial Artists indeed doesn't depend entirely on strength!"

"But it can depend on Supernatural Abilities!"

Crackle...

Blue electric sparks flashed on Jiang Ling's body. His entire being was bathed in thunder, as if he had become a God of Thunder.

"You..."

"You're not an Enhancement-type Supernatural Ability user?"

"Then how could your strength possibly be so powerful?"

The middle-aged man's mental state instantly collapsed.

When Jiang Ling showed such abnormal strength just now, he had thought Jiang Ling was an Enhancement-type user like himself.

That way, even if Jiang Ling's strength was indeed terrifying, it would at least be within the realm of common sense.

But now that Jiang Ling was showing a Lightning Type Supernatural Ability, it was something the middle-aged man couldn't accept.

Not an Enhancement-type, yet possessing powerful strength that could knock him back.

And only Level 11—is he even human?

"Heh..."

"Go ask the King of Hell that question!"

Jiang Ling didn't plan on wasting any more time with them. He swung his horizontal saber and slashed forward.

"Wind Thunder Slash!"

A massive electric arc over ten meters long flew out, slashing through the row of Azure Dragon Society Martial Artists.

Puchi, puchi, puchi...

As the electric arc flew past, these lackeys were directly cut in half at the waist, their upper bodies falling to the ground as they let out shrill howls.
