Something's wrong with this demon.

Chapter 159 Instant Kill

It was early morning.

The Hehuan Peak was surprisingly deserted, with very few disciples.

Luo Qingchen asked a passing disciple.

The disciple did not seem to recognize him.

However, seeing that there were many people following him not far behind, he dared not be careless and quickly said respectfully, "Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister have gone to Black Phoenix Peak. I heard that they are going to challenge the Senior Sister of Black Phoenix Peak to a duel."

"A challenge?"

Luo Qingchen's gaze turned cold, and she immediately turned and left Hehuan Peak.

When the people behind him saw him suddenly turn around, their expressions changed immediately. They had no choice but to continue walking forward and pass by him.

Luo Qingchen quickly descended Hehuan Peak and headed towards Black Phoenix Peak.

He quickened his pace as he passed the steward's office.

There was a long line of people at the window of the management office, and Yang Jiujiang was busy inside.

"Um?"

At that moment, he seemed to suddenly sense something and subconsciously looked up outside, only to feel a corner of clothing brush past his line of sight.

A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

While he was still in a daze, the disciple at the window couldn't help but urge him: "Senior Uncle Yang, hurry up, I need to get down the mountain."

"What's the rush? Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"

He cursed irritably and continued working with his head down.

When Luo Qingchen crossed the stone bridge and stepped onto Black Phoenix Peak, many disciples had already gathered in the training ground of the core disciples of Black Phoenix Peak.

There were disciples from Black Phoenix Peak and disciples from Joyful Union Peak.

At this moment, Fang Shi, a burly man with a muscular build, was engaged in a fierce battle with Yuwen Rou, who was even taller and more robust.

Both men were unarmed, and it was a head-on clash.

A strong wind howled through the arena, and the sounds of fists and feet colliding echoed loudly.

The onlookers all retreated to a great distance, fearing that the two strongest outer disciples might accidentally strike them with their unpredictable punches and kicks.

Both of them exuded an extremely terrifying aura, their punches and kicks brimming with explosive power.

If an ordinary cultivator were to be punched, their bones would likely shatter on the spot, and they would die instantly. However, when these two were punched by each other, they only shuddered and seemed to have suffered no harm.

These two most outstanding outer disciples, in terms of both attack and defense, completely overwhelmed the other outer disciples present.

"Senior Brother! Kill her with one punch!"

The disciples of Hehuan Peak shouted in unison.

The disciples of Black Phoenix Peak were not to be outdone: "Senior Sister! Kick him to death!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The two fought fiercely for a while longer before Fang Shi took a few steps back, a cold smile on his face. "Yuwen Rou, fighting here is pointless. Neither of us dares to use our full strength. How about we try our luck on the Life and Death Arena?"

Yuwen Rou also sneered, "That's exactly what I was thinking."

Killing moves are not allowed in the training ground, so both of them were hesitant to use them.

However, on the life-or-death arena, one can fight without restraint, and even if one cripples or kills the opponent, it is not considered a violation of the sect rules.

"Are they going to fight to the death on the arena?"

Upon hearing this, the disciples became even more excited.

Since it doesn't concern them personally, even if people die, it won't be them. And they'll get to see an even more exciting battle, so naturally they're more than happy to accept it.

At this moment, Fang Shi continued, "Yuwen Rou, we don't have any deep-seated hatred, so there's no need for us to fight to the death. I came to your Black Phoenix Peak because of that brat Luo Qingchen. He killed so many disciples of our Hehuan Peak and even skinned and mutilated the body of one of my sister's adopted sisters. I must make that brat give me an explanation, give my sister an explanation, and give those disciples and their families an explanation! Since you want to stand up for her, then let's settle this on the life-or-death arena. If I win, you hand over that brat Luo Qingchen; if I lose, from this day forward, I will never set foot on your Black Phoenix Peak again, how about it?"

Yuwen Rou sneered, "Fang Shi, why bother with such high-sounding words? Aren't you just after the Xuan Iron and other treasures on my junior brother Luo's body? If you had just said so directly, I, Yuwen Rou, would have admired you as a man. But by dodging and weaving, using the name of a dead man to cause trouble, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"Enough with the nonsense! Yuwen Rou, do you dare to bet?"

Fang Shi clenched his fist, his face full of sarcasm: "If you don't dare, then just admit defeat. When I come back to your Black Phoenix Peak to find that kid, you'd better stay in your cave and not come out, or continue to entertain guests in your Spring and Autumn Pavilion and stop making a fool of yourself."

Upon hearing this, all the disciples of Hehuan Peak burst into laughter.

After Fang Shi finished speaking, he strode up to the life-or-death platform next to him, stood on it, looked down at her with a contemptuous smile on his face.

Yuwen Rou snorted coldly, grabbed the long red braid behind her back, wrapped it around her thick waist, and prepared to go up.

A person nearby quickly whispered, "Senior Sister, there's no need to go to the life-or-death arena for that kid. Once you're on the arena, you won't be able to stop. What if—"

"Sis, don't go up there!"

At this moment, the burly Yuwen Daxiong also hurriedly came out to dissuade him.

At this moment, a sweet, delicate voice came from the disciples of Hehuan Peak: "Senior Sister Yuwen, if you tell me where that brat Luo Qingchen is hiding now, my elder brother can spare your life. Even if you go to the life-or-death arena, my elder brother will show mercy and won't kill you."

Yuwen Rou turned her head to look.

The woman was slender and pretty, and she was looking at her with a mocking smile.

"Fang Jiao, I'm mainly worried that if your older brother beats you to death later, you'll cry. You know, I hate hearing women cry the most. Whenever I hear a woman cry, I can't help but want to smash her head in."

After Yuwen Rou finished speaking with a cold laugh, she walked directly towards the arena of life and death.

Fang Jiao smiled and said, "Senior Sister Yuwen, then this little girl is just waiting for you to come over and crush my head. I hope you'll still have the strength to come down after we're on the life-or-death stage."

Yuwen Rou didn't say anything more. Just as she was about to step onto the steps of the Life and Death Arena, a voice suddenly came from the crowd behind her: "Senior Sister, let me go up instead."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at him.

"It's him!"

"Luo Qingchen!"

"Good lad! After hiding for so long, you've finally decided to come out!"

Yuwen Rou stood still, watching the familiar young man walk out of the crowd, her expression changing.

Fang Shi, standing on the life-or-death stage, suddenly brightened up, his pupils overflowing with barely concealed greed.

Fang Jiao, standing below the arena, also stared intently at that figure.

"What are you doing out here?"

Yuwen Rou frowned as she looked at the young man who had approached her, and said, "You don't need to worry about this. As the senior sister of Black Phoenix Peak, I can't let him bring people to bully us. Go back to your cave and leave this to me."

He then snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, I won't ask you for money this time."

Luo Qingchen said, "Thank you, Senior Sister, but I still hope to handle this matter myself."

After saying that, he stepped directly onto the life-or-death arena.

"Junior Brother Luo!"

Yuwen Rou's expression changed, and she hurriedly reached out to grab him, but suddenly realized that as soon as she stretched out her hand, he had already stepped onto the life-or-death arena.

Huh?

How did she realize that her movements had slowed down?

No! It wasn't that her movements slowed down, but rather that the other person's movements—faster! So fast that she didn't even have time to react!

She looked up in astonishment at the figure on the life-or-death stage.

"Luo Qingchen, after hiding for so long, you finally couldn't resist coming out?"

On the life-or-death stage, Fang Shi looked at the young man before him with a cold smile, but his heart was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

What makes them dare to come up here?

"Do you want the Mystic Iron?"

Luo Qingchen looked at him and asked, then took out two fist-sized pieces of black iron from her body.

Looking at the two pieces of dark black iron, Fang Shi could no longer hide the greed on his face.

The other disciples below the stage also had their eyes shining and fell silent.

"I've come today specifically to deliver black iron to you."

Luo Qingchen stretched out the black iron in her hand.

Fang Shi was taken aback. Just as he was about to approach him, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring at him with a flickering gaze.

"What, you're afraid to take it?"

Luo Qingchen put it away again, saying, "Since you don't want it, I'll keep it. Next, I'd like to show you something else."

"What is it?"

Fang Shi immediately went on high alert, staring at him warily.

Luo Qingchen walked towards him and said, "One punch."

Before he could finish speaking, the figure appeared in front of him instantly, and with a loud "boom," slammed a punch into him.

Fang Shi was shocked, but there was no way to avoid it, so he had to do his best to punch and meet the attack.

"Bang!"

The two fists collided heavily.

One gust of wind swirled around, emitting a piercing shriek and carrying an extremely terrifying and powerful aura; the other remained silent, only a silver-white fist light shone forth.

"Fist of Light?"

When Yuwen Rou saw this scene, she was immediately shocked, her eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief!

The moment the two fists collided, Fang Shi's fist shattered with a "crack," his taut arm snapped instantly, and then the fist, carrying a burst of energy, slammed directly into his chest.

"Bang!"

A crisp sound.

Fang Shi's ribs were all broken, and his thick, muscular chest was pierced through by a single punch!

The fist pierced his chest and emerged from his back, leaving a spray of bright red blood.

He froze on the spot, mouth agape, completely motionless.

"Did you see it clearly?"

Luo Qingchen slowly withdrew her blood-soaked fist.

Fang Shi froze for a few seconds, then his legs gave way and he knelt on the ground. He first looked at his blood-dripping fist, then slowly lowered his head to look at his pierced chest, his face blank with a dazed expression.

It seemed as if they hadn't reacted yet.

"Big brother!"

Fang Jiao, standing below the arena of life and death, let out a piercing scream and rushed forward, crying. She grabbed her brother and glared at the boy before her, her face contorted with rage. She gritted her teeth and said, "You little bastard! You haven't even signed a life-or-death contract yet, how could you—"

Before she could finish speaking, Luo Qingchen grabbed her by the neck, staring at her pale face, and said, "Do you really enjoy being crippled?"

Fang Jiao's eyes widened as she recalled how she had threatened Lian Hongpei, pretending to be Lian's disabled sister in the latter's cave.

At that moment, fear suddenly struck!

She hurriedly opened her mouth, wanting to beg for mercy, but then she saw a flash of light and a sudden chill ran down her lower body. Looking down, she saw that her lower body, which was waist-high, had fallen to the ground with a "thud".

Meanwhile, her upper body was being held by the neck and suspended in mid-air.

"Now, you've got what you wanted."

After Luo Qingchen finished speaking, she threw her to the ground.

Fang Jiao lay on the ground, her eyes wide open, staring at her other half of her body. She convulsed a few times and then breathed her last.

Her brother, Fang Shi, knelt there, utterly dead.

The two siblings died tragically together on the life-and-death stage. At this moment, the disciples of both Hehuan Peak and Black Phoenix Peak stared wide-eyed and remained completely silent.

Who was Fang Shi?

The dignified senior disciple of Hehuan Peak, whose strength was among the best of all the outer disciples, was now pierced through the chest by the young man on the stage in a single move, with almost no chance to resist, and could even be described as utterly vulnerable.

Among all the disciples present, his younger sister Fang Jiao was the strongest, second only to Yuwen Rou, the senior sister of Black Phoenix Peak.

However, in a single exchange, before she could even make a move, she was grabbed by the neck and cut in two, utterly powerless to resist.

The boy killed the two siblings faster than he could kill a chicken!

At that moment, besides shock and horror, they were also filled with deep confusion.

What gives this young man the right to do this?

It wasn't until Yuwen Rou said something that their doubts were completely dispelled.

As the young man picked up the storage bags from the two siblings and stepped off the life-and-death arena, Yuwen Rou, her face filled with shock, trembled and exclaimed, "Junior Brother Luo—no, Senior Brother Luo! You—you've broken through to the Qi Opening Realm?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked!

Breakthrough to the Opening Aperture Realm? Inner Sect Disciple?

How is that possible?

He clearly broke through to the Qi Realm in just a few months!

"I think so."

The boy's answer was nonchalant, as if even he himself was unsure.

But if his strength—killing the senior brother of Hehuan Peak with one punch and strangling the second senior sister of Hehuan Peak with one hand—is not at the Tongqiao Realm, then what is it?

Those brother and sister are at the half-step Qi Refining stage!

"Luo—Senior Brother Luo!"

As Luo Qingchen walked through the crowd toward the outside of the training ground, all the disciples of Black Phoenix Peak, whether core disciples or personal disciples, bowed their heads in awe and respectfully called him "Senior Brother Luo."

At this moment, their emotions were even more complex.

Of course, the person with the most complicated feelings was Tian Feng, who had just followed the main peak all the way here.

He stood in the crowd, dumbfounded, his mind blank, as if he were dreaming.

"I have something to do, let's talk next time."

Luo Qingchen said something to Yuwen Rou and the other disciples she knew, then quickly left.

When disciples greeted him on the way, he simply nodded in response.

He quickly left Black Phoenix Peak and arrived at the main peak, then walked towards the general store next to the library.

Inside the general store, the obese Xiong Hong reached out a fat hand from behind the counter, grabbed a disciple by the collar, lifted him up, and cursed, "What the hell? I've looked at the goods, I've asked the prices, and you say you don't have any money? Are you deliberately making fun of me?"

The disciple hurriedly apologized with a mournful face.

"Sorry? If 'sorry' were useful, this punch of mine—wait, Luo—Junior Brother Luo?"

Just as Xiong Hong was about to raise his other fist to punch someone, he suddenly saw a familiar figure appear beside him. After seeing the other person's face clearly, his expression changed immediately, but then he immediately put on a big smile again.

"Get lost! Next time you come, I'll knock your front teeth out with one punch!"

Xiong Hong released the disciple, cursed a few more times, then turned around with a beaming smile, saying, "Junior Brother Luo, long time no see. Where have you been all this time? Last time you said you had four pieces of Xuan Iron and wanted to forge a Xuan Iron Blade. Are you still going to forge it?"

Luo Qingchen didn't answer, staring at her for a while before saying, "Senior Sister Xiong, can you tell me where I've offended you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiong Hong's enthusiastic smile froze instantly.
