36: That's it for Chapter 36!

Facing Pei Qingyun's killing intent, Wang Yang showed no fear in his eyes. Instead, his lips curled into a cruel smile.

"Old man, I've finally waited for you. Today, I'm going to send you on your way right here."

"Is that so? If you really had that ability, you wouldn't have hidden in the corner back then, watching your old man be beaten into a pile of mush by me," Pei Qingyun replied with a shake of his head and a sneer.

Originally, the members of the Pei family were still thinking about how to counter Wang Yang's arrogant words.

They hadn't expected that as soon as their Old Ancestor spoke, it would be such explosive news.

It turned out that the previous head of the Wang family was killed by the Old Ancestor.

Furthermore, the current head, Wang Yang, had witnessed it with his own eyes.

Faced with his father's killer, Wang Yang had actually chickened out back then.

At this moment, the Pei family members looked at Wang Yang with a hint of contempt in their eyes.

This memory was actually the past that Wang Yang was most unwilling to recall.

Now that it was being exposed in public by Pei Qingyun,

He didn't feel any shame or embarrassment.

From beginning to end, he never thought he had done anything wrong.

His father's death was because he was weak.

And him hiding in the corner was also because he was weak.

In his view, the sacrifice of the weak held no value whatsoever.

What he truly didn't want to face was actually just his weak self.

At this moment, as Pei Qingyun displayed his weakness before everyone, it completely ignited the killing intent buried in the deepest part of his heart.

"Old man, you're looking for death."

Accompanied by intense killing intent, Wang Yang's hideous face was nearly distorted, and his entire aura was like a malevolent ghost crawling out of Hell.

Whoosh!

Wang Yang moved without warning. His entire being was like a streak of black wind, appearing above Pei Qingyun in the blink of an eye.

In the next second, his longsword slashed down from the air, carrying a weight of a thousand tons as it aimed for Pei Qingyun's throat.

Under this astonishing speed, the group of Divine Strength Martial Artists didn't even have time to react to when Wang Yang had made his move.

It wasn't until the longsword fell that they noticed Wang Yang was conducting an assassination attempt on Pei Qingyun.

Facing such incredible speed, they could almost imagine

The sight of Pei Qingyun being struck by the sword.

But Pei Qingyun disappointed them.

Just as the longsword was about to strike Pei Qingyun's throat, the long saber at his waist had already unsheathed itself, blocking the sword's inevitable path.

Clang!

Saber and sword collided, sparks flying. Under the impact of two massive forces, a powerful counter-shock rippled out, traveling through the weapons into both of their arms.

In the next second, Wang Yang's expression changed drastically.

He had thought that Pei Qingyun might be able to react, or even choose to meet the attack head-on.

But he never imagined that Pei Qingyun's frontal counterattack would be so powerful.

Under the impact of this powerful counter-shock, his right arm clearly trembled.

In contrast, Pei Qingyun's movements were as smooth as flowing water; the counter-shock didn't even seem to affect him at all.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible." Noticing this, Wang Yang's eyes widened, wondering if his senses were playing tricks on him.

Clearly, his cultivation was more profound, and he had struck first.

Yet he was the one who was shaken.

He couldn't understand it.

Why was this happening?

But how could Pei Qingyun leave Wang Yang any time to think?

In fact, from the moment Wang Yang made his move,

He had noticed that the other's blood Qi had condensed into a compressed stream of air.

Driven by this compressed air, the speed Wang Yang burst forth with was extremely startling, almost reaching twice that of an ordinary Early stage of Five Viscera Realm in an instant.

Pei Qingyun guessed that the reason Wang Yang could burst out with such speed was likely due to his Cultivation Technique.

Just as the Pei family's Evergreen Art was characterized by being long-lasting and persistent,

The characteristic of Wang Yang's technique was speed.

Facing this sudden burst,

Any Early stage of Five Viscera Realm Martial Artist facing it for the first time would surely be caught off guard by Wang Yang.

But Pei Qingyun was not at the Early stage of Five Viscera Realm.

Possessing two types of technique characteristics, even if Pei Qingyun hadn't fully unleashed his Mid stage of Five Viscera Realm blood Qi, he still wasn't someone an ordinary Early stage of Five Viscera Realm could compare to. Perhaps in terms of speed he was at a slight disadvantage, but in strength, endurance, explosive power, stamina, and reaction, he surpassed Wang Yang by more than just a level.

Taking everything into account, how could Wang Yang's sneak attack possibly succeed?

Therefore,

Victory in this battle was certain.

And the victor was him.

Wang Yang hadn't realized this yet when Pei Qingyun's long saber already came slashing through the air.

Whoosh!

The saber light flashed, and wherever the blade passed, it formed sharp gusts of wind pressure, as if tearing through the constraints of the air, carrying an endless edge sworn to destroy all enemies.

But this wasn't the end.

Almost at the same time, the blood Qi within Pei Qingyun's body erupted. The aura of the Mid stage of Five Viscera Realm was perfectly unleashed, officially displaying itself before everyone for the first time.

The powerful blood Qi rose into the sky like a beacon of smoke, several meters high, giving off a feeling of intense shock.

With the support of his blood Qi, Pei Qingyun's already terrifying strike doubled in power once more.

Facing this horrifying slash, Wang Yang's eyes widened. He hadn't expected Pei Qingyun's counterattack to be so fast, nor so strong.

He especially hadn't expected that Pei Qingyun had already stepped into the Mid stage of Five Viscera Realm.

But Wang Yang was a Five-Viscera Martial Artist after all.

In his haste, he still managed a counter. The longsword in his hand was like a meteor chasing the moon as it met Pei Qingyun's saber head-on.

It was another collision of saber and sword.

But times had changed.

Before, Pei Qingyun was attacking, and Wang Yang was countering.

Yet the situation was worlds apart.

The moment he saw Pei Qingyun unleash his Mid stage of Five Viscera Realm cultivation, Wang Yang knew that with this sword strike, he was doomed to defeat.

His counter was less about resisting and more about stalling and redirecting force.

But he still underestimated the horror of this slash.

The instant the saber and sword touched, a vast, immense force surged along the blade into his body, throwing his five viscera into total upheaval.

If he hadn't already entered the Five Viscera Realm, he would have completely lost his fighting capacity after this single strike.

Even so, he suffered significant injuries, the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth confirming it all.

Meanwhile, Pei Qingyun merely gave his wrist a light shake, and after being pushed back a few steps, he landed safely on the ground.

Comparing the two, the situation was naturally clear at a glance.

Off the field,

Pei Tianlin was completely dazed, his eyes fixed intently on the figure ahead.

Although he had known beforehand that his Old Ancestor's physical condition was good, before the battle started, he couldn't help but worry about the Old Ancestor's state, his heart in his throat.

But the result was just this!

Just this!

The head of the Wang family was full of confidence, yet he couldn't even take a single hit.

This made no sense at all.

It was as if the one with withered blood Qi was Wang Yang, while their own Old Ancestor's blood Qi was at its peak.

In fact, besides Pei Tianlin, Pei Tianrong hadn't made Pei Qingyun's condition public; everyone else had only been vaguely guessing.

So at this moment,

The members of the Pei family were even more shocked. Their eyes were wide, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Who said their Old Ancestor's blood Qi was failing?

Could an old man with failing blood Qi slash Wang Yang into such a state with one blow?

They must have lost their minds.
