My Apprentice Is Too Diligent

Chapter 90: No One is Allowed to Stay! (Two-in-One Subscription Request)

The crowd was in an uproar.

"This is so fun, isn't it?"

"It's indeed fun. Becoming the sect master at the Eighth Layer of Body Refining!"

"Why can't you become one? As long as you're willing, even at the First Layer of Body Refining, you can!"

"You're wrong. As long as you have someone below you, even a beggar can become the sect master!"

"Hahaha..."

Laughter filled the air.

The previous tense and solemn atmosphere was instantly swept away, replaced by a relaxed and confident one.

"The sect master at the Eighth Layer of Body Refining? Haha."

A burly man muttered to himself and couldn't help but laugh. "Sorry, I just think your sect is a bit of a joke. Of course, I mean no harm."

"I know."

Su Dayong remained calm, swept his gaze over everyone, and imitated Chen Wuji's usual demeanor. He calmly said, "Our Hidden Dragon Gate may not be well-known, but we are not to be judged by just anyone."

"Especially this dog, a stray dog!"

Su Dayong's gaze was like a torch, staring directly at Wang Biao, whose face was scarred with three ferocious knife wounds. He coldly said, "If you choose to be a dog, you must be prepared to act like one. Don't bare your teeth at people without reason. Otherwise, breaking your dog's leg is a small matter. If you lose your life, you won't have a chance to bark again!"

"You little bastard, you're asking for death!"

Wang Biao, who had always been submissive, suddenly turned red-eyed, his anger surging and his murderous aura erupting.

Bang!

His foot stomped on the ground, raising a cloud of dust. With the force of his burst, Wang Biao shot forward like an arrow, swiftly pouncing towards Su Dayong.

Swoosh~

His claws were like iron hooks, carrying a sharp aura as they aimed for vital points.

"Die!"

A crazed fierceness flashed in Wang Biao's eyes, and his ferocious face became even more menacing.

His claws directly grabbed Su Dayong's neck, as if the sound of bones shattering could be heard.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound.

Crack!

The sound of bones shattering followed closely.

Accompanied by it was a burst of blood mist, splattering into the air.

"Ah!"

A scream echoed through the scene.

In the trembling of He Dengming and his group, they saw Wang Biao's right hand flesh and blood flying, and his bones turning into fragments.

Then, his entire arm broke inch by inch, and the shattered flesh fell through the air like cloth.

Wang Biao's sturdy body finally lost control and fell backwards, rushing straight towards He Qiliang.

Smack~

He Qiliang slapped him away, causing him to fall to the ground, rolling three times, his face slightly changed.

Including the burly man, everyone's expressions slightly froze.

"You're not at the Fourth Layer of Body Refining, but at the Seventh Layer of Body Refining!"

The burly man said in a low voice, "It seems that Wang Biao, this stray dog, is seriously outdated with his information."

Although he said that, his eyes didn't even glance at Wang Biao, who was groaning on the ground.

"Shut up!"

He Qiliang glared at Wang Biao and scolded, "Useless thing, he's at the Seventh Layer of Body Refining, and you couldn't even tell. No wonder you can only be a dog in this lifetime!"

Wang Biao's teeth were crushed, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. He curled up, trembling slightly, afraid to make a sound.

"Haha."

The burly man's expression changed, and he laughed loudly. "Apologies, Su little brother. We're new to White Water and don't know the situation. We were fooled by this stray dog Wang Biao. We apologize for any offense caused."

"Forget it."

Su Dayong directly refused, "My master is in seclusion and cannot receive guests for the time being. Master He can come and visit another time. I apologize for not being able to entertain you today."

"This..."

He Qigong's smile faded from his face.

"Dad, why waste words with him?"

Behind him, He Denglong, who was a little impatient, stepped forward and said coldly, "What powerful force could there be in White Water County? The only sect, Blood Sword Sect, had the highest cultivation at the Eighth Layer of Body Refining. They were wiped out long ago."

"This Hidden Dragon Gate, at most, can only withstand the cultivation of the Body Refining Ninth Layer. Why should we be polite to such a small sect?"

As he spoke, he had already walked up to Su Dayong and slapped his palm.

Bang!

The air exploded with a loud sound.

The palm print transformed by True Qi condensed and materialized, visibly and rapidly striking towards Su Dayong.

Su Dayong retreated and managed to dodge in time, but he was a beat too slow. He was hit in the shoulder, and the sound of bones cracking could be heard. His whole body was sent flying, rolling on the ground twice.

"Hmph!"

He Denglong stood tall and looked down at Su Dayong, saying in a resounding voice, "I don't care if you're from Hidden Dragon Gate or Insect Gate. From this moment on, Azure Ox Mountain belongs to my He family!"

"You and your master, your senior brothers and sisters, all of you get out of here immediately!"

"I'll give you fifteen minutes. If you're still here after fifteen minutes, then there's no need for you to leave. You'll all be buried here!"

"Yes, get out!" He Denglong shouted.

"Azure Ox Mountain belongs to our He family!"

"Insect Gate, get out quickly!"

"Brother Long is mighty!"

The crowd cheered and shouted with excitement.

He Qigong, He Qiliang, and other high-ranking members of the He family watched silently without saying a word.

They just looked mockingly at Su Dayong, their eyes filled with coldness.

"Hiss~"

Su Dayong took a sharp breath, enduring the pain in his shoulder. He slowly stood up, his face looking unpleasant as he said, "Don't push your luck! The land deed for Azure Ox Mountain was bought by us from the government office. If you don't believe it, you can go to the county office to verify!"

The scene fell silent.

"...So what?"

He Dengming stepped forward, arrogant, and said, "Even if Azure Ox Mountain was bought by you, so what? Now that we have set our sights on it, it belongs to my He family!"

"Yes!"

"It's your honor that we have set our sights on Azure Ox Mountain!"

"Kid, if you don't want to die, then get lost obediently."

"So as not to dirty our hands."

"Hahaha!"

Behind He Dengming, a group of people resumed their clamor, each of them unabashedly showing their bandit-like faces, looking down on Su Dayong with arrogance.

"You...you..." Su Dayong's face turned red, filled with anger and urgency.

"What 'you', 'we'. Since you don't want to leave, then go die!"

He Dengming drew his sword and charged towards Su Dayong.

Clang!

The sword light flickered, dazzling and blinding.

With a sharp aura and a sharp edge, he rushed towards Su Dayong.

Su Dayong, injured in the shoulder, couldn't withstand it and quickly avoided.

Swish swish!

He Dengming swung his sword, constantly closing in.

Su Dayong retreated, and He Dengming pursued.

The two of them kept retreating, getting closer to other wooden houses.

Thud!

Su Dayong, not paying attention, tripped over a wooden stake and fell to the ground.

"Go die!"

He Dengming saw this and let out a sinister laugh, slashing his sword directly at Su Dayong's head.

Swish!

A sword light as fast as lightning suddenly flashed by.

"Pluff~"

Accompanied by a burst of fresh blood, it sprayed into the air.

He Dengming's arm holding the sword detached from his shoulder and flew high into the air.

"Ah ah ah!"

The sound of a miserable scream echoed through the valley. He Dengming's figure swayed, blood splattering, losing his balance and falling to the ground, howling in pain.

"Ming'er!"

In the crowd, a man with a thin and long face exclaimed, hurriedly running out and falling beside He Dengming, his hands trembling.

"Who are you!"

He Qigong's expression changed, his pupils contracted, and he looked at the person who made the move.

Wearing white clothes, with black hair flowing like a waterfall, exuding a pure and ethereal beauty, with a slender figure and a fierce aura.

It turned out to be a seventeen or eighteen-year-old beautiful girl!

"True Qi Realm?"

He Delong frowned and carefully observed Nan Jinyu.

"What? She's in the True Qi Realm?" He Qigong was astonished.

He Qiliang and the others also showed shock on their faces and subconsciously retreated.

"Impossible!"

Wang Biao, who had been silent, couldn't help but exclaim, "This girl is also a disciple of the Hidden Dragon Gate, named Nan Jinyu. She was only at the Body Refining Fifth Layer before. How could she break through and enter the True Qi Realm in just a few months? It's impossible!"

"A few months, from the Body Refining Fifth Layer to the True Qi Realm?" He Qigong's expression changed as he looked at He Delong. "Long'er, are you sure she's in the True Qi Realm?"

"There's no mistake."

He Delong furrowed his brows and said in a low voice, "She is indeed in the True Qi Realm. The True Qi fluctuations emanating from her body cannot deceive anyone. Her cultivation is on par with mine."

"This..." He Qigong fell silent.

He Deming also dared not speak, his face filled with panic as he tightly clenched his teeth, preventing himself from making a sound.

He Qiliang and the others continued to retreat.

"Impossible! Impossible!"

Only Wang Biao, still unable to accept it, shouted loudly, "How could a person go from the Body Refining Fifth Layer to the True Qi Realm in just a few months, or more precisely, in about two months? Did she eat divine pills and precious treasures from heaven and earth? I don't believe it! She definitely isn't in the True Qi Realm!"

Divine pills?

Precious treasures from heaven and earth?

He Qigong, He Qiliang, and He Delong, upon hearing these words, were astonished and suddenly understood.

In the next moment, He Qigong looked at He Delong, his eyes questioning.

He Delong shook his head slightly.

Cough~

Seeing this, He Qigong cleared his throat and took two steps forward, clasping his fists and saying, "I'm sorry, I apologize sincerely. It's all because I didn't discipline my men properly, causing Brother Su to be injured. We are willing to compensate."

"Ten thousand taels of silver!"

"We are willing to offer ten thousand taels of silver to make amends for Brother Su."

"What do you think, Miss Nan and Brother Su?"

He Qigong looked at Nan Jinyu, who was supporting Su Dayong.

Nan Jinyu remained expressionless and did not speak.

"Huff~" Su Dayong gasped for breath, hesitated on his face, and after a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Alright."

"Leave the money, and you all leave Azure Ox Mountain immediately and never come back!"

"Alright."

He Qigong readily agreed, took out a stack of silver bills from his pocket, counted them, and placed them on the ground.

Then, he stood up and clasped his fists again, saying, "Rest assured, we promise not to come to Azure Ox Mountain again. There's a saying, 'no fight, no acquaintance.' Today's misunderstanding was an accident and a coincidence. Fortunately, it didn't cause too much harm. When you report to your teacher, please explain the details, especially the misunderstanding between us, which has been resolved."

"I won't say much."

Su Dayong's tone slowed down. "There's nothing else. You can leave."

"Alright."

He Qigong smiled, "Then we'll part ways here. Take care, both of you!"

"Go..."

"Where do you think you're going!"

A clear shout suddenly resounded.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of arrows piercing through the air followed closely, penetrating the air and entering the group of people from the He family.

"Ah!" "Ah~"

Cries of pain immediately rang out.

The sudden change caused He Qigong's expression to drastically change, and He Deming roared in anger.

Su Dayong panicked.

However, before he could react, familiar shouts sounded in his ears again.

"Fourth, fifth, and sixth brothers, attack with all your might, kill them all, leave no one alive!"

Swish! Swish!

Figures flickered, and Han Ying, holding a long sword, bypassed Su Dayong and rushed towards the nearest He Qiliang.

"Third brother, do your best to kill He Delong!"

"Boss, if you don't want to kill all of us, then put away your fake kindness!"

Han Ying's face turned pale, his feet stepping on the Winding Snake Steps, the long sword in his hand creating a gust of wind as he unleashed all his power.

As he scolded, Han Ying attacked, causing He Qiliang to continuously retreat.

"Sss~"

Thud!

Sword energy filled the air, wreaking havoc.

He Qiliang lasted only three breaths before his head was severed by a sword, blood splattering everywhere.

"Ah~!"

"How is this possible!"

"Who is this again? Who is this!?"

"Run, run!"

"Kill! Kill them!"

Screams, roars, curses, cries of alarm...

The scene descended into chaos.

After killing He Qiliang, Han Ying led Chen Yifan and Chen Qingning, charging into the ranks of the He family, unleashing a massacre like wolves.

Duan Zhen stood on a tree, holding a bow and arrow, continuously shooting arrows.

Each arrow that whizzed through the air took down one person.

Nan Jinyu faced He Denglong, sword energy pouring down like a torrential rain, unrelenting and continuous. He Denglong, surrounded and outnumbered, was immediately put on the defensive, struggling to resist and unable to attend to anyone else.

Behind the wooden house, Nie Shuangshuang hid in a corner, grabbing chunks of stone and secretly throwing them at the fleeing crowd.

Shouts of killing, angry shouts, pleas for mercy, clashes of weapons...

Various sounds filled the ears, shaking Su Dayong's body, leaving him disoriented and nauseous, but unable to vomit.

It wasn't until a middle-aged man guarding He Dengming, with a ferocious face and a horizontal sword in hand, charged towards him and swung his sword to decapitate him.

Swish!

Su Dayong instinctively dodged, then moved to the side of the middle-aged man, avoiding the horizontal sword with his hand and striking back.

"Splurt~"

The middle-aged man's head was chopped off, and his head, along with blood, flew into the air.

Hot blood splattered all over Su Dayong's face.

Su Dayong was stunned.

In the next moment...

"Ah ah ah!!"

In a cathartic roar, Su Dayong forgot about the wound on his shoulder, the pain coursing through his body. With one hand wielding his sword, he charged towards the scattered He family members who were trying to escape.

"Kill! Die, die! Kill, kill! Kill!"

Su Dayong shouted, brandishing his sword, charging forward.

Forgetting everything else, forgetting the pain.

In his eyes, there were only the members of the He family. He shouted tirelessly, killing relentlessly.

Seven people.

One True Qi Realm Second Layer, two Body Refining Ninth Layer, one of them on the verge of reaching perfection.

Three Body Refining Eighth Layer, one of them at the peak of the Eighth Layer.

One Body Refining Seventh Layer, who forgot about pain, knew no fatigue, and had no fear.

A sudden burst of power.

The He family, who had been stationed in Linjiang for many years and had a member at the Body Refining Ninth Layer, couldn't provide support. With just one encounter, they were killed, crying for their parents.

People fell, surrendered, or died.

A one-sided battle.

Wang Biao, who had been lying on the ground the whole time, stared blankly, his eyes wide open, filled with shock, horror, doubt, confusion, and disbelief.

The members of the He family didn't know about the disciples of the Hidden Dragon Gate, but he did.

He was familiar with almost all of them!

They were all originally rookies at the early stage of the Body Refining Realm, inexperienced novices who had never seen blood.

How did they suddenly become so powerful?

Each one had a higher cultivation level, each one more ferocious!?

"It's impossible... this can't be possible..."

"This isn't real!!"
