The supression increased by tenfold.
Both Jun Zhaohao and the inner court disciple froze in fear. Their entire body froze, sweats pouring down from their foreheads as their instincts kicks in.
Their knees smashed against the floor against their will.
Humans are no different than animals. Much like animals, humans has instinct of their own.
Much like animals, before a predator, their fear will kicks in and this fear simply makes their instincts more overwhelming. With their instincts wanting to survive, their body unconsciously moved on their own.
A footsteps was heard.
Without anyone noticing, the figure of the blindfolded boy appeared right before the female disciple.
Yun Shi who is standing beside the inner court disciple widened her eyes in horror. Her instinct flared, each parts of her body moving on their own without any of her consent.
The female disciple brandished her sabre, her aura as a peak Qi Refiner erupted like an erupting volcano.
Yun Shi slashed her sabre with all her might. Fire essence blazing through the air, creating a blazing arc.
An explosion erupted. The shockwaves sending the other disciples flying while some are trying their best to stay rooted using all of their strength.
When the smoke dissipate, all the disciples widened their eyes, their jaws reaching the floor.
Yun Shi is already kneeling on the floor. The raven haired woman gasped, her breathing unsteady and uneven. The sabre she had held had fallen from her grasp, now also on the floor.
At least the handle is on the floor. A part of it's blade has already melted.
Essence has the attributes of their elements.
The essence that Liu Yang cultivate is an extreme Yang essence of extreme heat.
The moment his essence blazed through his palm, making contact with her sabre, the blade of her sabre immediately melted.
Her bloodied arms tremble.
Despite this, she cupped her fist, completely ignoring the cracking sounds of her broken bones.
"Thank you martial brother Liu for giving Yun Shi mercy." The female disciple said with a quivering voice.
"Hmm, take this as a lesson and don't go bullying other disciples next time." Liu Yang said calmly.
Yun Shi can only nodded her head weakly.
Just one move. All that it took the latter was one move.
When she had sent her strike, all that Liu Yang did was simply blocking her sabre. His hand blazed in a scorching Yang essence, melting the blade of her sabre with a single touch and overpowering her own fire essence in the process.
Seeing that everything is done, Liu Yang nodded. The blindfolded youth take small steps forward, ignoring the look of reverend from the other outer court disciples.
Not only did he defeated the best disciples of the outer court, he did so easily.
The other disciples make way as Liu Yang walks.
However, as he was walking away, the inner disciple made his move.
The robe of the inner disciple flutter in the air. His body blazing in fire essence. The sabre hanging on his waist was brandished.
Swing!
A clinging sound revebrated through the open ground. The sabre swings through the air, creating an arch of light.
Chu Chuanyun's eyes are filled with malicious intent as killing intent locked on to Liu Yang's movements.
Normally, any disciples would have frozen in fear.
Liu Yang on the other hand, only sighs in disappointment.
He remains calm. In fact, he didn't even bother to glance at the incoming blade. Despite the blade nearing his neck, inching closer to his skin, he remains silent.
The latter doesn't deserve his attention.
His arms rested loosely to his side, his face remains unreadable. In an instant, the world slowed down.
His mind drifted off to the past.
A scene flickers in his mind. A crimson haired man practising with his sword. With each swings, it was like the world itself bows down begore him.
With each swings, the forms of his sword arts would transforms.
Sometimes his sword moves like petals caught in the wind, sometimes his sword slash with a scorching heat of summer, sometimes his sword swirl with elegance like the leaves falling from a tree in autumn and sometimes his sword thrusts with the ferocity and coldness of winter.
It was the most beautiful sword arts he has ever seen. Under the willow tree, that man became one with nature itself. With the sword in his hand, that man is unrivaled in the world.
With those hands that man had guided him to reach the peak of the world. With those hands, that man had nurtured him to be unrivaled amongst his peers.
How ironic.
Those same hands are also the same hand that strike him down, ending his life.
Liu Yang's hand reached out, grasping the sabre.
The sound of bones breaking resounded ad Liu Yang's fist made contact with the disciple's shoulder.
Liu Yang grabbed Chu Chuanyun's head and smashed him into the ground.
"It's almost half an hour and your Disciplinary Hall have only arrived now." Liu Yang can't help but commented, "How in the hell did this sect even become one of the Four Great Forces with such a lousy law enforcers?"
The law enforcement disciples who had just arrived tensed. Some balled their hands into fist, their knuckles turns white. Some clenched their jaws, their eyes blazing with fury and some glanced at each other, feeling uncomfortable.
The truth of the matter is that the sect rarely cares to what happened to the Outer Court Disciples. Normally, the law enforcement leaves the outer disciples to do as they please. As long as no disciples are killed or crippled, the sect won't bait an eye.
It was a cruel reality. The world of cultivation is extremely harsh and cruel. One day you might be drinking with your so called brothers but in the next that brother of yours might also be the one to end your life.
Such was the reality of the cultivation world. Without a sufficient strength, it is impossible to live your life in peace.
"Disciple Liu Yang, for daring to disturb the peace of the Outer Court, bullying his fellow outer court disciples and injuring a fellow brothers of the same sect," One of the disciples spoke in a booomin voice.
Of course, Liu Yang didn't even bother to listen to him. Instead, his eyes looks up to the sky, his gaze penetrating the very fabric of space and time itself.
A pair familiar crimson of crimson red eyes staring back at him.
Liu Yang chuckle.
Still as grumpy as before.
Turning to the shaking Jun Zhaohao, Liu Yang shook his head.
He toss the jade badge to the floor.
"I've already improved the arrays placed around the living quarter." Liu Yang yawned, "When I returns in a few days, I shall be taking the payment."
Under the eyes of those who are present, Liu Yang start walking away.
The eyes of the law enforcement disciples turns hostile.
"Stop right there!" A law enforcement disciple shouted. His body leaping in an attempt to catch Liu Yang.
As his hand was only a few inches away from grabbing Liu Yang's neck, the blindfolded youth turns his head around with a mocking grin on his face.
The space around him distorted and he vanish from his spot.
The law enforcement disciple's hand swept through the air. When he realises that Liu Yang had escaped, he roared in anger.
A few hours later, a few miles away from the Flaming Blade Sect, a forest surrounded by a lush green canopy that blocks the sun from reaching the floor.
The roar of a mighty dragon resounded.
Liu Yang's entire arm was covered in ethereal scales of gold. Head of a divine dragon manifest around his fist as his fist transforms into a dragon.
Bang!
Liu Yang's fist collided with the horn of the rhinoceros beast.
Jade Armoured Rhino, low grade beast in the 2nd stage of Qi Refining realm.
It's entire body is covered in a jade coloured exoskeleton, forming a formidable and impenetrable armour. It's skin is as black as the night sky, no less powerful than it's armour of jade colour. It's horn is as sharp as a blade, glittering in green.
Beasts are beings who embodied the concepts of the great Dao and are born with a powerful body. Some of them are even capable of fighting cultivators a few realms higher than them.
For Liu Yang to be able to fight a Jade Armour Rhino without any weapons, it was clear just how powerful his physical strength is.
Roar!!!
The Jade Armoured Rhino released a devastating roar. Behind him, an image of a Jade Armoured Rhino's head manifested, releasing a terrifying supression to it's srroundings.
What makes beasts terrifying aside their physical body is their bloodlines. Beasts with a pure enough bloodline will be able to gain access to their bloodlines abilities. The purere their bloodlines are, the more bloodline abilities they can gain.
Some beasts with a pure enough bloodline can even gains access to techniques of their ancestors.
The [ Jadeite Rhino's Supression ] that it just used was one of the abilities of it's bloodline.
The roar not only effects the strength of it's opponents, but also caused planted a deep seated fear in their hearts.
In such situation, most cultivators would either flee in fear or be unable to even move it's body.
However, who was Liu Yang?
He was the an existence resurrected by an a supreme expert who once stood at the peak of the Great Dao.
The moment he felt the supression falling on his body, he let out a maniacal laugh.
"The Dragon Emperor's Body Refinement Arts have increased my physical strength and paired with the Yin and Yang Chaos Refining Sutra, my essence and physical strength have surpassed realm of Qi Refining." Liu Yang grin as a powerful supression of his bloodline took place.
The bloodline supression of a Divine Dragon collided with the supression of the Jade Armoured Rhino's own supression.
"Did you think that with your measly bloodline, you have the right to stand against me?!"
The supression fell even harder.
Liu Yang's fist clenched, transforming into a dragon.
The essence dragon opens it's mouth, in an attempt to swallow the rhino whole.
The Jade Armoured Rhino let out a devastating roars.
The transparent Jade Armoured Rhino's head floating in the air immediately fused with it's physical body. The armours of jade thickens, covering it's entirely body. The jade coloured horn it's body increased in length, glittering in jade light as it absorbs the spiritual Qi from it's surroundings.
In an instant, the surrounding trees withered, their spiritual energy being absorbed into it's horn.
Boom!
The fist struck the growing horn, creating a powerful shockwave.
The body of the Jade Armoured Rhino's body was instantly blasted by Liu Yang's powerful Yang essence.
The Jade Armoured Rhino was pushed back, cracks starts appearing all over it's armour of jade. But in the next moment, it's body glows in a bright jade colour. It's jade armour expanded, covering it's entire body.
With a powerful thrust, the Jade Armoured Rhino let out a powerful roar.
The blindfolded youth's body was sent flying into the air like a cannon ball.
His eyes flashes in golden colour. An explosion of Yang essence erupted from his feet, propelling him downward.
His body blazes in golden light of Yang essence as his figure descent like a descending dragon.
Bam!
With a powerful strike, his fist struck the head of the Jade Armoured Rhino. Following his fist, a gush of blazing Yang essence was released, enveloping the body of the beast clad in jade.
