Fight to the death!

The words that Liuyun spoke, wasn't loud, nor was it soft. It was not weak, yet it was also not dominating. But somehow, it brought a shiver to the leader, he immediately ordered his gang to attack Liuyun afterwards. Liuyun made a decision in his heart, he will kill them all here else they will be the roots to future problems.

"Yan'er now!"

He called out for Feng Hanyan and she jumped out from behind of the gang. Channeling the flames of the divine phoenix, she attacked them, her flames bursting out and spreading to a wide area.

"Phoenix Searing Rend!"

She learned many different techniques belonging to her family, Phoenix Searing Rend was one of the 4 moves she was most proficient in. It concentrates the divine flames of the Phoenix onto a medium and slashes it out to her opponents, as it moves it spreads so it is a rather devastating move to use.

"Avoid it!"

The leader's reaction was the quickest and he ordered them to dodge the skill, but the spreading of the flames was too quick and it managed to injure all of the origin stage cultivators. Luckily they protected themselves using their Nature energy but they were obviously injured. They were burnt and their Nature energy was depleted by a lot.

"Little girl! You will pay!"

"Oh no, you don't!"

The leader was furious at Feng Hanyan for that attack and he rushed at her, he slashed downwards and was about to make contact with Feng Hanyan, but was quickly blocked by Liuyun who rushed back.

"You opponent is me…"

"Damn you. I will torture you and let you watch as I rape your women… Hahaha! How exciting it will be once I am done with you."

Rage overtook Liuyun, he parried the leader and kicked him far away from Feng Hanyan. Leaving her alone to face the 4 other minions. While he went to deal with the most dangerous of them all.

The leader smashed into a large boulder and coughed out blood. Liuyun appeared at his front and his eyes held no warmth or light, it felt as if he was looking at an insect. Incensed by the look that Liuyun was giving him, the leader gave a battle cry and attacked him head-on.

The leader skillfully unleashed his sword techniques and used them to attack Liuyun, if it were an ordinary Profound stage cultivator, he would have several cuts on his body by now. But Liuyun was trained by Feng Yang Zhe and was used to high-speed fights, in his eyes, the leader's sword was moving in slow motion and right before the instant it was about to hit Liuyun, he parried it.

Despair started to fill the leader and with rage, he shouted at Liuyun.

"Let's stop this meaningless battle, you can't injure me nor can I injure you. How about I give you some compensation and we just go our own way!"

The leader was thinking of gathering his minions and then ambushing Liuyun and Feng Hanyan, with numbers they will surely win. That was his thoughts and he was just waiting for Liuyun to agree to his terms, this kid is intelligent and he knows that pre-longing the battle isn't beneficial to him.

"How about it!"

Seeing that Liuyun did not reply to him after a while, he took the initiative to ask him. But he suddenly noticed, Liuyun was getting even closer to him by the second and in an instant, he was already right in his face.

"Argh! Kid you!"

Liuyun stabbed his sword into the stomach of the leader of the Red Eagles Bandit. He kicked him down and used his hands to choke the neck of the leader. It was at this moment, the leader understood that Liuyun did not plan to spare him at all, he was unresigned and forced out the words with his neck being choked.

"Why…"

"...It was because you wanted to do something to Yan'er."

"...ha...haha… I see... You wife slave."

"I will take that as a compliment, now die."

Mercilessly, Liuyun struck his hand down and stabbed the leader's heart. The leader's life was gone and he no longer moved.

"Wheew, Liuyun you actually killed him."

Jia Yi's voice of teasing resounded in his head, Liuyun smiled and replied to her mentally. It was better for trash like him to die…I am just weeding out the roots of future problems.

"Hahahaha! You did well."

The black portal appeared and Jia Yi walked out of the portal. She looked at the corpse of the leader and touched it, the corpse started to dry out and it suddenly looked as if a frail old corpse.

"What did you do?"

"Hm? Oh, I am regaining my powers… Ever since that day i helped you out, I lost my Rebirth stage cultivating strength and am only at the ascended stage. I just absorbed this guy's soul energy."

"Soul energy?"

Liuyun looked confused as to what Jia Yi was saying and Jia Yi disappeared into the portal before explaining it to Liuyun.

Soul energy, is the energy of life that a soul contains. Normally it can't be used or touch by beings that are not souls but they are also considered a special type of nature energy. Currently Jia Yi was in a soul like state so she can touch it and even absorb it.

"Don't worry about it, for now, anyways what about your little lover?"

"Yeah, I will head back but I won't interfere unless needed… She needs this experience as well."

"Hahaha, brat is rather sadistic as well."

He didn't refute her and ran back as quickly as possible to check up on Feng Hanyan.
