Chapter 24

Since he didn't discover anything, I left him to his own devices as I continued to quietly meditate under a tree.

"Baoyi, are you okay? What happened to you?" the blue haired elder bent down to ask.

This blue haired elder was relieved that Biyu Baoyi had only fainted and did not have any other injuries. But before he could determine the cause of Baoyi's condition, a black shadow appeared in the old man's line of sight before it descended next to Sain's body. When the shadowy figure stood up, I could see that the shadowy figure was another old man. This new old man had white hair, a white beard, hunched back and a pock marked face. His cultivation was also mid Core Formation realm?! He seemed to be shaking after he saw Sain's expression. Perhaps, they were related??

"Good day sir, I wonder if this old man may know sir's name?" Baoyi's elder asked as he eyed the black cloaked old man warily.

Not giving Baoyi's elder any face, the black cloaked old man spat. "My name is none of your concern. My family's young master has been beaten black and blue, were you the one who did this to him?? Heh, you may be the same realm as me but how could you bully the younger generation, you blueberry?!"

"Blueberry? Me? Do you know who I am? I am the Blue Fire Qilin of the Great Biyu Clan, Biyu Qiling! You backwater elder dare disrespect me?!"

"Blue Fire Qilin? Never heard of it. So what if you're from the Great Biyu Clan? We, the 8 clans of Winqu are under the Severlance Family! We're not afraid of you!"

"Yeah, but you should be afraid of me..." I interjected.

Glancing at me for a second, the black cloaked old man chuckled as he asked Elder Qiling. "Is this boy with you? Cuz if he ain't, I'm itching to beat him up!"

"Touch me and your whole family will perish. Can you afford that, old man?" Standing up to stretch, I asked.

"Kid, although I do not know why would my family's young miss teamed up with a backwater town's young master to make trouble with you but, aren't you supposed to give us elders respect? I wonder who your parents are, to teach such a disrespectful...Heuk?!"

Just before he could further diss my parents, or, parent...I bombarded his Spiritual Sea with my powerful Spiritual Sense and made him crumple to the ground, his hands were tightly gripping his head as he felt his Spiritual Sea open up like a chasm. Seeing his pained expression, I gleefully taunted him. "Speak, speak some more lah! You should know that rice can be simply eaten but words cannot be simply said. I am the 8th young master of the Severlance Family, Starfall Severlance. If you want to talk shit about me, go ahead. But if you ever dare talk shit about my parents again, I swear I will rip your head open, devour your Spiritual Sea before I will cook a medium well brain steak with YOUR brain! Then I'll feed that brain of yours to the dogs. It's time hilichurls are born here."

"Aagh! Please forgive me, young master...Agh! I was wrong!" Elder Qiling begged me again and again but I ignored him as I now focused my attention on the black cloaked old man.

"Heh, boy...It seems I have looked down on you. You do have some skill but alas, your mouth will be the end of you!" Saying that, the black cloaked old man took out an iron broadsword from under his cloak. "Kid, to think that you would shamelessly declare yourself as the 8th young master of the Severlance Family is a bigger offence than you crippling my family's young master...Do not stain the mighty Severlance Family with your lies! Prepare to be cut down!"

"I don't know if I should be happy or sad that you respect my family more than your own, even to point your sword at me." I laughed bitterly.

"See! You're still lying! The Severlance Family will never allow their young masters and mistresses to wander the lands alone, even if it were their own territory! Where are your bodyguards then? "

Seeing how stubborn this black cloaked old man was, I had no choice but to play along since he was dead set on killing me. "Fine then, you caught me. I'm just an ordinary citizen of Winqu. So what if you're from the 8 clans? I will fuck you up!"

"Bold!" The black cloaked old man's aura flared up as he proceeded to charge at me with his glowing broadsword in hand. When we were only 10 meters apart, the old man thrusted his sword at my heart but was parried by my own sword materialized from Spiritual Energy. His shocked and bewildered expression was amusing as well. Damn, he really thought I 'd challenge him barehanded?? I'm only at the 1st stage of Body Tempering realm! Fuck, I'm only five!

Shaking himself out of confusion, the old man's aura flared even brighter as he eyed me warily. "Boy, where's your weapon? How did you block my attack just now? Who are you?"

"I am not obliged to answer any of that. Again!" This time, it was me who charge first. By releasing my aura fully, I've successfully redirected the old man's eyes from my hands to my aura as I quickly materialized several knives from Spiritual Energy.

"1st stage Body Tempering realm? That's it? Then how did you --!" His constant blabbering was annoying me to the point that I sent 3 knives at him. One for the head, one for the heart and one for the crotch. Show me how you'll block this.

"*Humph* I don't know where you hid them but, your knives don't scare me!" The black cloaked old man swung his broadsword at the 3rd knife aiming for his crotch before he proceeded to charge at me while ignoring the other 2 knives.

The following scene after this was hilarious.

When the first knife closed in on the old man's forehead, it wasn't blocked by the old man's aura but penetrated his head and struck his Spiritual Sea instead. The second knife aiming for his heart phased through his Core Formation realm body and pierced his soul. The third knife...was flicked away by a swing of the sword, causing it to disperse back into Spiritual Energy before it finally returned to my Spiritual Sea.

Aah~, the agonized expression of the old man was the best! As he felt his mind and soul rip apart, I gave him another 5 knives aimed at four of limbs and one at his abdomen. He can't block it, he doesn't have the strength to block it, his meridians will be shattered, his core will be destroyed, he's going to die! Hahaha, let me enjoy your -- Eh?!
