Chapter 1178: Chapter 1178: Move Faster
"Not really?" Qing Lin glanced at Xiao Yi and then rolled his eyes, "I would be a fool to believe you."
Xiao Yi curled his lips, too lazy to argue with Qing Lin.
"Seventh Layer of Saint King Realm?" The surrounding martial artists exclaimed at the sudden appearance of Qing Lin.
"Black Cloud Academy is indeed formidable, producing such a martial arts monster," remarked the Sky Square City Lord, looking at Qing Lin with astonishment on his face.
Indeed, Qing Lin’s cultivation level had now reached the Seventh Layer of Saint King Realm.
It’s truly impressive for someone so young to possess a Seventh Layer cultivation.
But the look from the Fang Family Master towards Qing Lin was somewhat sinister, "You just called Xiao Yi your junior brother, so you’re his senior brother, right?"
"Your Black Cloud Academy is known for its tyrannical actions."
"But that does not mean you can act recklessly."
"Your junior brother falsely accused our Fang Family elder of being a wanted criminal, I won’t argue with him for now, but you should quickly take him away."
"Hmm." The Sky Square City Lord also looked at Qing Lin and said, "Young friend, there seems to be a misunderstanding between your junior brother and our Sky Square City."
"Currently, we have internal matters to handle within Sky Square City, so please do not disturb us."
"Ah?" Qing Lin was dazed by their words for a moment, "Hold on, let me understand you."
After a few seconds, Qing Lin suddenly understood, "You mean that I should take Xiao Yi away and not let him cause trouble here."
"Precisely." The Fang Family Master said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Qing Lin’s face puffed up, and then he suddenly laughed out loud.
"Haha, Xiao Yi, did you hear that?" Qing Lin slapped Xiao Yi’s shoulder and laughed heartily.
"These two want me, as your senior brother, to take you, the troublemaker, away."
Xiao Yi shrugged off Qing Lin’s hand, rolled his eyes, "You better take care of yourself first."
After speaking, Xiao Yi looked coldly at the Fang Family Master, "So, you were willing to let me take Fang Xin away earlier, but now you’re unwilling?"
The Fang Family Master’s gaze flickered, but he still said firmly, "Our Fang Family elder was falsely accused by you, why should he go with you."
"Heh, falsely accused?" Xiao Yi sneered.
"Perhaps you thought that as merely a Saint Realm Ninth Layer, even if Fang Xin went with me, he would have ways to escape later."
"Now that a Seventh Layer of Saint King Realm is beside me, you start to fear."
"Nonsense." The Fang Family Master shouted coldly, but his gaze clearly didn’t dare to meet Xiao Yi’s.
Obviously, Xiao Yi’s guess was correct.
Earlier, from the Fang Family Master’s perspective, Xiao Yi was just a mere Saint Realm Ninth Layer, even if Fang Xin went with him, he could escape later.
After all, Fang Xin was once the Wind Shattering Hall Sub Hall Master, his cultivation had reached the Late Stage of Saint King Realm.
No need to fear an inexperienced kid not yet in the Saint King Realm.
But now, Qing Lin has come, and he too was in the Late Stage of Saint King Realm, not to mention being a monster from Black Cloud Academy, his combat power is astounding.
Thus, the Fang Family is now wary and unwilling to hand over Fang Xin.
"Young friend." At this moment, the Sky Square City Lord seriously looked towards Qing Lin.
"Your junior brother insists on unreasonable behavior; he is just a mere Saint Realm Ninth Layer, yet dares to speak recklessly."
"I think you, as the senior brother, ought to discipline him a bit."
In the Sky Square City Lord’s view, Qing Lin, the Seventh Layer of Saint King Realm, must be extremely authoritative in the eyes of Xiao Yi, the Saint Realm Ninth Layer.
"I discipline him?" Qing Lin almost couldn’t help but laugh, but quickly realized.
"Hey, hold on, Xiao Yi, who did you mention earlier? Fang Xin?"
Xiao Yi nodded.
"Goodness, does this scoundrel really dare to stay in the Fang Family?" Qing Lin clapped his hands.
"What are you talking about?" The Fang Family Master’s face turned black instantly.
"I said, you are well aware, Fang Family." Qing Lin said coldly, then looked at Xiao Yi.
"Goodness, I thought Fang Xin was on the run, yet he dares stay in the Fang Family."
"Did you also take up this mission?" Xiao Yi asked.
"Of course." Qing Lin responded, "I came to the Four-direction Domain to train, so naturally, I accepted the local task."
"Fang Family, I’ll ask one last time, will you hand over Fang Xin?" Xiao Yi asked coldly.
"Two madmen, I don’t know what you’re talking about." The Fang Family Master shouted angrily.
"Seems you’re unwilling to hand him over." Qing Lin’s eyes grew cold, "Then there’s no need for more words."
"The old way?" Qing Lin looked at Xiao Yi playfully, "I’ll take on the big ones, you handle the small ones."
Xiao Yi smiled at those words, "Sounds good."
Even though he didn’t regard the Fang Family Master and the Sky Square City Lord highly, he couldn’t be bothered to engage much.
After all, they were merely at the Peak of Saint King Realm.
Among all the martial artists present, the strongest three were the Sky Square City Lord, Fang Family Master, and Muu Family Master, all at the Peak of Saint King Realm.
The Sky Square City Lord was slightly stronger in terms of aura.
While the remaining martial artists from Sky Square City Lord Mansion and Fang Family were mostly at the First or Second Layer of Saint King Realm at best.
Qing Lin nodded and stepped forward, shouting, "Fang Xin, the former Wind Shattering Hall Sub Hall Master, you are wanted by the Wind Shattering Hall Main Hall."
"Either obediently come with us; or be killed on the spot."
"Audacious, seize these two villains from Black Cloud Academy." The Fang Family Master shouted loudly.
"Yes." The surrounding Fang Family martial artists immediately took action.
The Sky Square City Lord frowned but still shouted, "The disciples of Black Cloud Academy are being unruly and want to commit crimes, we won’t be courteous then, Sky Square City."
With these words, the martial artists from the City Lord Mansion also swiftly moved into action.
Sky Square City is named as such precisely because of the two major families within it.
The family from the City Lord Mansion is surnamed Tian.
The Fang Family, along with the City Lord Mansion, has joined forces to dominate Sky Square City for many years.
When something happens in the Fang Family, the City Lord Mansion definitely will not stand by.
This is why earlier, the Fang Family Master said that the Sky Square City only needs the City Lord Mansion and the Fang Family’s two forces, without needing the Muu Family.
Clang...
With a crisp sword sound, the battle between the two sides started instantly.
Qing Lin, alone against two, faced the Fang Family Master and Sky Square City Lord, without faltering, even pressing them closely.
The Fang Family Elders joined the battle upon seeing this.
On Xiao Yi’s side, there were over a hundred martial artists from the Fang Family and the City Lord Mansion, more than half at the Saint King Realm, and the rest at a minimum of Saint Realm Eighth Layer.
Xiao Yi shook his head; with his current strength, he didn’t even need to draw his sword. Simply by gathering starlight sword qi in his hand, he could easily fend off his opponents.
Each strike of the starlight sword qi claimed a life.
Over a hundred strong adversaries attacking, unable to deal with Xiao Yi alone.
"So strong." Behind him, Muu Ning’s beautiful eyes flickered with joy, even with a hint of admiration.
Xiao Yi didn’t notice Muu Ning’s gaze, he was effortlessly fending off the enemies.
Swish...swish...swish...
A torrent of sword qi swiftly harvested the lives of the martial artists surrounding them.
On Qing Lin’s side, he unleashed the Annihilation Wind, leaving the Fang Family Master and the Sky Square City Lord battered.
"Tsk tsk, Xiao Yi, if you don’t hurry up, I might finish up here..." Qing Lin said smugly, but upon seeing Xiao Yi’s rapid harvesting speed, his words were cut short.
"This guy, a mere half-year of training and he’s gotten so much stronger, truly a freak." Qing Lin pouted, "Looks like I ought to speed up."
"Annihilation Binding." Qing Lin bellowed.
