Becoming Ashes

Lu Qian no bothered thinking anymore, no longer waited or hesitated. 

Right now!

He had to kill Yan Ming and restore his reputation!

"All of those are lies you made up! Today, I will eliminate you for the good of the universe!"

He no longer had any choice. If he let Yan Ming live, the Lu's family's reputation would fall if the damage was minimized. But at worst...it could turn into a investigation by the righteous sects and deem them as demonic cultivators. 

Lu Qian saw a way out as he lunged forward. He left Lu Feng to be taken cared of by Lu Liuyan who was still watching as this all happened. 

Yan ming remained motionless, his gaze steady.

–Sigh~ how boring. So predictable and idiotic. You no longer need them. Go ahead and...

–kill him.

Lu Qian's palm with the power of a late Nascent realm behind it, flew through the air and was now mere inches away from Yan Ming's chest. 

When suddenly–

–A massive force erupted from Yan Ming pushing off. 

Lu Qian looked in shock as it seemed...

"You've reached Mid stage Nascent realm!?"

As if the main character of a novel, he rose beyond his current cultivation and broke through mid–fight.

"How is this possible!?"

Yan Ming was also curious, which Hong Lianhua explained. 

–Don't you remember? The more people who have evil in their hearts, the stronger you get.

Yan Ming nodded internally and looked bored. With a voice towards Lu Qian, "You praise me too much. My talents not too good. At 18 years old, and I'm only at the middle of Nascent realm, I'm ashamed."

"You bastard!" Not believing in anymore of his lies, he struck again.

Yan Ming once again held his hand above his head towards the heavens. 

"Gather!"

"Manifest!"

"Bird!"

With a quick incantation said in a breathes time, dozens of thunderbirds the same size as before appeared next to him. 

"W-w-wait!" Lu Qian seeing this scene began to regret it. 

The only reason he chose to fight against Yan Ming was that he was of a much lower realm. Plus the fact that the bad thing about Lightning Thunderbird was the cost required per hit. 

However like a barrage of arrows, the the Lightning thunderbird flew towards him, as they laughed in mockery. 

Explosions upon explosions could be heard. Like countless suns exploding over and over again.

Finally after the 13th bird exploded, the world returned to normal. 

Yan Mings robes fluttered across the wind as onlookers saw his figures. 

His face as cold as it was. 

As Lu Qian was in complete ashes. 

He had only one thought.

That was too excessive.....ah...I never got to hear about his sin....
