C874 Yao Yue
Just as Yao Yue was looking at Ling Jian, Tantai You's gaze was also locked onto Ling Jian's figure.
To be precise, his gaze was more focused on Ling Jian's hand, which had snatched the spirit stone from his opponent's hand, before grabbing onto Tantai You's palm.
He had never imagined that Ling Jian would do so in order to grab onto Tantai You's hand. When he saw that Ling Jian had touched Tantai You's skin, he did not hesitate to do such a thing. At the same time, his gaze was like a sharp blade. He wanted to cut off Ling Jian's hand.
"Damn it, this one can't be left by Miss's side, but he actually did such a thing to Miss. He's simply plotting against her."
Tantai Guang was trembling all over. Tantai You was the goddess in her heart, and she was the pride of the Tantai family. Ling Jian was merely a Heavenly Source Initial Stage cultivator. What right did he have to touch her?
"I can't take it anymore. How dare you take advantage of my young lady? I'm going to be a fool for you."
Finally, the fury in Tantai Guang's eyes intensified. He wanted to kill Ling Jian wholeheartedly. He had even forgotten the promise he had made to Tantai You earlier.
"Tantai Guang, how dare you! Have you forgotten what I said earlier?"
Tantai You's face turned cold when she sensed Tantai Guang's actions and she spoke coldly.
However, this time, Tantai Guang was not afraid. He did not care about whether he asked or not. He suddenly punched out, aiming at Ling Jian's face.
If Ling Jian had been stronger than both of them, then Tantai Guang was the same. Besides, she had used her full strength. Tantai You could already sense it. He could only watch helplessly as this scene unfolded before his eyes.
Boom!
Because he had spared no effort in unleashing his power, even though Tantai Guang had only thrown out a simple punch this time, wherever the punch passed by, the space would rumble and vibrate.
This was the reason why Tantai Guang's circle was so powerful apart from Glory World. Even his speed was extremely fast. As the circle landed, instantly, a straight fist shadow appeared behind him. Its power was terrifying.
At this moment, when they saw Tantai Guang attack with all his strength, including a sneak attack, everyone felt that Ling Jian would die for sure.
After all, how could an initial-stage Heavenly Source Realm cultivator be unharmed from a full-strength attack from a late-stage Heavenly Source Realm cultivator?
Being able to survive was already a great fortune!
Even those cultivators who were in the same realm as Tantai Guang could only ensure that they did not die from that punch. As for the serious injuries, that was unavoidable.
Ling Jian's expression instantly turned gloomy the moment Tantai Guang attacked.
However, she did not have the slightest intention of staying together. She stood in place and did not move. Suddenly, she raised her right hand and a chaotic light burst out from her right hand. It pierced towards the opponent's fist that was about to attack.
"Chaotic Finger."
Ling Jian muttered to himself. A moment later, the power of the finger hit Tantai Guang's fist. Instantly, a terrifying power burst out.
Like most people, Tantai Guang believed that Ling Jian would definitely die under his fist. However, when the fist came into contact with his opponent's Chaotic Finger, his heart sank.
Because at this moment, he suddenly felt a power that was even more terrifying and overbearing than her fist pass over from her finger. After which, it was as if she was crushing dry weeds and rotten wood. It violently washed over his fist.
"No! How is this possible!"
Instantly, Tantai Guang felt as if he had underestimated Ling Jian all along. He had also realized that Ling Jian was not simple. To be able to produce a heaven-grade spirit technique in such a short period of time, how could he be an ordinary person?
In his horror, Tantai Guang subconsciously prepared to retract his fist.
However, it was already too late.
Bang!
Just as Tantai Guang had this thought, Ling Jian's fingers exploded with power. His entire fist exploded in an instant, and a rain of blood drifted in the air. At the same time, within the rain of blood, there were even some broken bones mixed within. It swiftly spread out in all directions.
Tantai Guang instantly felt an intense pain that he had never felt before from his entire arm. He could not help but cry out in pain.
Ah!
Instantly, Tantai Guang let out a series of shrill cries that reverberated in the surroundings.
Even the surrounding cultivators could feel their hair standing on end just by listening. It was as if they were experiencing it themselves. It was like...
However, Ling Jian acted as though he did not hear the miserable cry of the other party. After he pointed his finger forward, he did not intend to hold back. Instead, a dense killing intent suddenly flashed across his eyes.
Tantai Guang had repeatedly provoked him. Previously, he did not care too much about this matter because of Tantai You.
However, Tantai Guang's character remained unchanged. Why would he be touched and kill Tantai Guang?
Sizzle sizzle.
Ling Jian immediately pointed his finger at the void in front of him. It was as if the space had been shattered. Everyone saw a ray of sword Qi the size of a ray of light condense in front of his finger and then fly towards Tantai Guang. Sword Qi of the Sword Qi of the Sword Qi of the Sword Qi of the Sword Qi of the Sword Qi of the Sword Qi of the Sword Qi of the Sword Qi of the Sword Qi!
Tantai You was also stunned by Xian Ling Jian's attack. However, he was standing not too far away from Ling Jian. She was the first to sense the power contained within the sword Qi. That power... Even she felt a chill in her heart.
"Not good, Young Master Ling, please show mercy..."
Tantai You shouted loudly, but it was already too late.
The sword qi in Ling Jian's hand cut through the void very quickly. A moment later, it had already appeared in front of Tantai Guang.
At this moment, when the sword Qi appeared in front of him, it was extremely clear. Tantai Guang's eyes finally revealed a trace of panic. However, he could not do anything else. He could only watch helplessly as the sword Qi sliced through his neck and cut off his head.
Puchi.
Instantly, a bloody light shot out and Tantai Guang was sent flying along with the bloody light.
Everyone looked at Tantai Guang. However, in the next moment... Everyone's eyes changed completely and they became extremely terrified. At that moment, Tantai Guang was still standing there straight. However, he was missing a head.
Gulp!
The blood light that had shot out was so bright that it was unknown how high it had flown. Finally, when its energy had been exhausted, it fell from the sky and crashed onto the ground.
Black Chaos City.
Around the city square where the crowd gathered, many cultivators looked at Tantai Guang's head in disbelief. They couldn't help but gulp.
Even though he had been cut off, Tantai Guang's expression was extremely clear.
It was obvious that Tantai Guang had realized the danger. However, what awaited him was helplessness. He could only watch helplessly as the situation developed into something he couldn't accept.
In an instant, the entire scene became silent.
At this moment, everyone on Tantai You's side, Yao Yue's side, and even the two of them were all shocked speechless. They were unable to utter a single word.
None of them could have imagined that Ling Jian's own strength would be so powerful.
Even though his cultivation was only at the initial stage of the Heavenly Source Realm, he was able to kill Tantai Guang in the blink of an eye.
After all, Tantai Guang was not a simple person. He could follow Tantai You. Even though he wasn't ranked on the Genius Ranking, he was definitely the strongest pair among the ordinary cultivators. However, in front of Ling Jian, life was like tofu. She was easily punished.
If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that it would actually happen to an early Heaven Origin Stage cultivator.
It was simply unbelievable.
"So powerful! This early stage Heavenly Source Realm is truly terrifying."
"I've seen a late stage Heavenly Source Realm expert insta-kill an early stage Heavenly Source Realm cultivator, but this is the first time I've encountered such a contrast."
"No wonder he's the only Heavenly Source Early Stage follower under Tantai You. As expected, to be able to become Tantai You's follower is definitely not an easy feat."
"Looking at his age, he's actually countless times younger than everyone here. To have such combat strength at such a young age, his future cultivation will definitely be terrifying."
"Even if he hasn't ascended the Genius Rankings yet, I believe that he won't be able to play for long. There will definitely be a place for him on the East Taitian Genius Rankings!"
...
At this moment, the numerous cultivators present started discussing amongst themselves.
As for Tantai You's group, all of them were looking at Tantai Guang's headless corpse with complicated expressions in their eyes.
This was especially so for Tantai You, who had no idea what he was saying.
Although Tantai Guang's actions had displeased her, she had never thought of killing him.
However, she could only watch helplessly as he was killed by Ling Jian. Although Tantai Guang didn't have a noble status like hers, he was still an outstanding figure amongst the younger generation of the Tantai Clan.
Moreover, the Tantai family had spent a lot of effort and resources to bury such an outstanding figure.
However, he had died in Ling Jian's hands just like that.
"Tantai Guang."
Instantly, the remaining seven cultivators behind him let out sorrowful cries, as though they were mourning the death of a rabbit. In their group, Tantai Guang was a member of the younger generation of the Tantai Clan. Now, they were watching as Tantai Guang was killed by Ling Jian.
Normally, their relationship with Tantai Guang was not as good as that of a brother. However, they were now all clamoring as if they had killed their loved ones.
"What's wrong? Are you all here to die as well?"
Ling Jian swept his gaze across the crowd and spoke in a cold tone.
In all fairness, these people had no conflict with him. Coupled with Tantai You, he did not want to make a move against them. However, if these people did not know what was good for them, he would definitely not mind making a move and suppressing them with lightning.
As for Tantai You's kindness, Ling Jian would naturally not forget it. At most, he would slowly return it to these people after they became stupid.
"You guys want to make things difficult for him too? Return it to me!"
Just as they were hesitating whether or not they should make a move, Tantai You's voice faded and he shouted at the remaining seven subordinates.
The expressions of the seven cultivators changed slightly. They looked at Tantai You, who was usually not easily angered, and in the end, they could only helplessly give up on attacking.
Seeing this, Tantai You revealed a look of relief. Although she did not know how strong Ling Jian was, if these seven people attacked, no matter who it was, they would ultimately suffer casualties.
She helplessly looked at Ling Jian and said, "Ling Jian, this time, Tantai Guang was the one who brought this upon himself. I don't blame you for being killed by you."
Tantai You's words caused the surrounding cultivators to be extremely astonished.
After all, they had thought that he would reprimand Ling Jian, but they hadn't expected him to apologize.
One had to know that this person was ranked 22nd on the Genius rankings.
Now, he actually apologized to a cultivator whose cultivation was merely at the initial-stage of the Heavenly Source Realm. If they didn't see it with their own eyes, they would absolutely not believe it.
"Mm, it's for the best if you think that way."
Ling Jian smiled faintly. Although Tantai Guang was rather disgusting, he still had a good impression of Tantai You.
Pak pak pak.
However, at that moment, a sudden clapping sound could be heard.
Hearing this sound, Ling Jian and Tantai You both turned their heads to look. Then, they saw Yao Yue in the distance raising her palm and lightly slapping it...
"Haha, good, very good inner roll. A dog biting a dog to set up a set of fur. Interesting, very interesting."
"Tantai You, oh Tantai You, these subordinates of yours are really interesting. When I first arrived, you guys had already started the inner roll. Now, you're even starting to kill people. Continue, why don't you continue fighting!"
Yao Yue's face was filled with ridicule. At this moment, the way she looked at Tantai You was filled with sarcasm. The smile on her face had even washed away the anger she had earlier.
After saying these words, Yao Yue's gaze instantly landed on Ling Jian. Instantly, a look of interest appeared on her face.
"Your name is Ling Jian, right? You are not a member of the Tantai Clan either. Stepping forward... I see. I see that your strength is not bad. Follow me, if you follow me and perform better... I have a special reward on my side! "
As Yao Yue spoke her final words, her tone clearly became more serious.
After saying that, she looked at Ling Jian with a charming gaze. At the same time, her lips moved, as if she wanted to eat Ling Jian in half.
Her cultivation required a union between a man and a woman. With Yao Yue's words, the surrounding cultivators were naturally dissatisfied with what they had imagined. At this moment, a scene had already appeared in their minds.
Especially since Yao Yue was making such a charming move at this moment. Which of the male cultivators around her could resist it?
Although Yao Yue's appearance was not as good as Tantai You's, there were still many men who liked her.
For most of the cultivators, even if Yao Yue was not very clean, she was still not an existence they could look up to. If they could get close to Yao Yue, they would be very willing.
However, even if they had such expectations in their hearts, they would probably not fall for her. After all, Yao Yue was ranked 26th on the Genius rankings. Ordinary cultivators did not have the qualifications to do so. They could only watch Yao Yue having sex with someone else. He cultivated the Yin Yang cultivation technique.
At this moment, everyone's gazes landed on Ling Jian. Other than a few hostile gazes, most of them were filled with envy.
"Shameless slut."
Tantai You's face turned red as well. When she heard Yao Yue's words, she instantly understood what she meant.
"Ling Jian, don't be bewitched by a few words from her. She is a person who eats people without spitting out their bones."
Tantai You hurriedly explained to Ling Jian that he was afraid that Ling Jian would be young and weak. He, who was full of vigor and vitality, would not be able to resist the temptation.
Indeed, although Yao Yue had many men, Ling Jian, who did not have much background, did not have much of a background. Usually, when a male cultivator with no background fell into Yao Yue's hands, he would be completely exploited.
"Are you concerned about me?"
Ling Jian looked at Tantai You and said with a playful smile on his face.
Tantai You's expression froze for a moment. His face instantly flushed red. After which, he glared fiercely at Ling Jian and did not say anything else.
"Don't worry. This kind of woman is not qualified to be favoured by me. My judgment isn't that bad. How can I possibly find trouble with her?"
Ling Jian spoke indifferently.
Although he did not say these words to Yao Yue, the cultivators present were all at the initial-stage of the Heavenly Source Realm. Each and every one of them had extremely sharp hearing. Although their voices were very soft, they were still heard by him.
Immediately, all of the cultivators revealed a strange expression. It was as if they had been scared silly by Ling Jian's words.
What did they hear?
Ling Jian actually said that the other party didn't have the qualifications to be favoured by him?2
It wouldn't be a big deal if he said this in secret. After all, it was impossible for Yao Yue to know. But now, he had said it in front of Yao Yue.
Just this courage alone was probably not something that anyone could possess. It had to be said that Ling Jian's courage was truly too great.
One had to know that Yao Yue's ranking on the Genius Ranking was already very high, but that wasn't the most important thing. The main thing was that she had also had some relationships with the top ten people.
Under such circumstances, Yao Yue's influence would be extremely terrifying.
Ling Jian's words had obviously offended some of the top ten people on the Genius Leaderboard.
It had to be said that women were the best fuse to cause trouble.
It could be imagined that even if Yao Yue didn't want to personally kill Ling Jian, if she were to incite the geniuses who had been with her to add fuel to the fire, these geniuses would definitely not allow Ling Jian to continue living.
At that time, Yao Yue would be able to deal with Ling Jian effortlessly.
