Chapter Sixteen: Xu Hualing's Wrath

  New book season, old and new friends, please support more, you know what collection means.

  After hearing Xu Xiangqian's words, the faces of the new disciples behind Xu Ziyuan changed greatly. The ninth layer in two days! Originally, these new disciples saw Xu Ziyuan bravely fighting against the older disciples and ultimately winning. These new disciples were overjoyed, thinking that among their group of newcomers, they had finally produced a leader who could stand up for them and not be humiliated by the older disciples. But what surprised them was that an old disciple actually emerged as a ninth-layer cultivator in two days.

  The day after tomorrow, the ninth floor is their sky. It's an existence that requires them to look up to, and now that someone like this has appeared, they know that these old juniors are not going to let them off today. They anxiously gaze at Xu Ziyuan's back, thinking:

  "Xu Ziyanyan, Xu Ziyanyan! Ziyanyan, Ziyanyan! Elder sister Ziyanyan, Big Sister Ziyanyan! Can you really hold on or not? We're all counting on you!"

  Xu Ziyuan continued walking forward at a steady pace, her face unchanged, but in her heart, she was constantly pondering:

  "Now it seems that the secrets of the twelve layers below are all connected, but after all, it's just a general outline, and I haven't gone through detailed deliberation. I'm afraid I haven't fully grasped them. Just now, when dealing with an eighth-layer cultivator, I was able to win only by exhausting his true energy. Now facing a ninth-layer person, can I still win?"

  But at this moment, the situation is not under anyone's control. Even if Xu Ziyun walks slowly, she has already arrived in front of Xu Xiangqian. Xu Ziyun coldly glanced at Xu Xiangqian and said calmly:

  "Get out of the way!"

  Xu Xiangqian's expression was stiff, he had been in the outer hall for ten years and had never experienced a new disciple daring to speak to him like this, even those old disciples didn't dare to speak to him like this, so he laughed extremely:

  "Good! Good! Good! I've been in the outer hall for ten years, and never has a new disciple dared to speak to me like this. You're good! You're very good!"

  "Of course, I'm fine!" Xǔ Zǐyān said calmly, but in her heart she thought: "It seems that this person has already been enraged by himself, and if he adds fuel to the fire, he will be completely enraged. In this way, let him lose his composure, and take advantage of the opportunity to defeat him."

  Then, Xu Ziyuan slightly raised the corner of her mouth, gazed indifferently at Xu Xiangqian, and said in an extremely indifferent tone:

  "Oh, you've been in the outer hall for ten years now, so you're considered an old-timer here too?"

  "Of course!" Xǔ Xiàngqián listened to Xǔ Zǐyān's words, thinking that Xǔ Zǐyān was afraid of him, proudly puffed out his chest and said with a haughty tone:

  "I've been stuck in this outer courtyard for a full ten years, I'm familiar with everyone here, no one doesn't give me face, as long as you obey me, I'll make sure you live a good life from now on."

  "Ten years have passed!" Xu Ziyuan didn't pick up where he left off, but instead said to herself: "Time is not short! I don't know how you've been cultivating, ten years have passed and you're still in the outer hall! I wonder if you can break through in this lifetime and enter the inner hall!"

  "You... you... you..." Xu Xiangqian was so angry with Xu Ziyuan that he almost fainted, pointing at her with his finger, and the words got stuck in his throat.

  Xu Ziyuan saw that the other party had lost all sense of propriety and knew that the opportunity had arrived. Xu, who had just spoken with a stinky mouth, had said those words that made Xu Ziyuan extremely angry and humiliated in her heart. Now that the opportunity was right in front of her, how could Xu Ziyuan still care about saving face?

  Without hesitation, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the finger pointing at him, twisting it upwards. A "crack" sound was heard beside his ear, and Xu's finger was broken by Xu Ziyuan.

  "Ahhh~~"

  A shrill cry of despair escaped from Xu Xiang's mouth, but before he could finish his wail, Xu Ziyuan had already struck a palm at the artery on his neck. The cry was abruptly cut off, and Xu Xiang's eyes rolled back as he fainted.

  "Oh..."

  The entire square in front of the main hall was filled with gasps of shock. No one had expected such a result. A martial artist who had cultivated to the ninth layer of the acquired stage, hadn't even been able to use a single move before his fingers were broken and he was knocked unconscious by a single palm strike. And this person was only at the sixth layer of cultivation in the acquired stage.

  Xu Ziyuan remained calm and composed, stepping over Xu Xiang's body which was lying unconscious on the ground. She walked slowly towards the outside, followed closely by thirty or so new disciples. The older disciples looked at Xu Ziyuan in shock and disbelief. In a pavilion not far away, the teachers collectively took a deep breath, their eyes fixed intently on Min Ge. Min Ge's face turned red as he pretended not to notice their gaze, looking down at Xu Ziyuan below, his heart also filled with shock.

  "Let me try!"

  A clear and melodious voice rang out, and Xu Ziyuan looked up to see a woman walking out of the old disciples. She wasn't considered beautiful, but her eyebrows were filled with determination and bravery. Standing in the middle of the road, blocking Xu Ziyuan's path, she said loudly:

  "Xu Hualing, tomorrow at 9th floor."

  Xu Ziyanyan slowly walked forward while softly saying: "Another post-heaven ninth layer, you can't have been stuck in the outer hall for ten years too, right?"

  Xu Hualing didn't get angry at Xu Ziyuan's words, instead she smiled lightly and said: "You don't need to try to provoke me. It's true that I've also been in the outer hall for ten years. But do you think you can break through to the Refining Qi stage and enter the inner hall within ten years?"

  "I can!" Xu Ziyuan nodded lightly and said.

  "You!"

  Even if Xu Hualing was well-prepared, she was almost jumped up by Xu Ziyuan's words. However, she quickly came to her senses, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and quickly calmed down. The gaze in her eyes became even colder, waiting for Xu Ziyuan to walk in front of her before knocking her down. But she didn't expect that Xu Ziyuan's next sentence would make her emotions surge again after she had just calmed down.

  "I know you don't believe me, but I'm telling the truth." said Xu Ziyuan.

  With Xu Xiangqian's warning, Xu Hualing suppressed the anger in her heart and restored calmness at a rapid pace. However, in her heart, she had already harbored murderous intentions, and today she had made up her mind to kill Xu Ziyuan on this land.

  Xu Ziyuan also sensed the killing intent in Xu Hualing's gaze, and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. Why was it so difficult to cultivate peacefully?

  At this time, Xu Ziyuan had already walked to the front of Xu Hualing. Xu Hualing didn't want to listen to Xu Ziyuan say anything anymore, and also knew in her heart that Xu Ziyuan couldn't say anything that would make herself happy. Without being polite any longer, she moved her body and attacked like a raging storm.

  Xu Ziyuan had also made preparations, although on the surface he was calm and composed, but in his heart he had long been on high alert. Seeing Xu Hualing make a move, he too sprang into action instantly.

  This sudden move made Xu Ziyuan feel the pressure immediately. A post-heavenly ninth-layer expert, and one who was not holding back at all, extremely serious in his attack, this made Xu Ziyuan feel immense pressure. Although relying on her own newly-acquired ability to see through things, relying on her true cultivation as a Qi Refining stage cultivator, she could instantly spot the opponent's weakness. However, with her own cultivation controlled at the post-heavenly sixth layer, it was insufficient to grasp this fleeting weakness, and she couldn't help but start getting flustered.

  After a few rounds of fighting, Xu Ziyuan's disadvantage was completely exposed. This caused the various parties to reveal their different expressions.

  Those old disciples were shocked by Xu Ziyuan and lost their composure, feeling not only frightened but also filled with anger. A new disciple, in front of many older disciples, not only didn't give them any face, but also slapped two people unconscious with a slap on the ear, and even broke off a finger of a later-stage ninth-layer cultivator.

  This slap was as if it had been slapped on the faces of all these old disciples, making them change color and fill their hearts with shame and anger. Now seeing Xu Hualing defeat Xu Ziyin in just a few moves, and completely overpower her, they thought that with just a few more moves, Xu Hualing could defeat Xu Ziyin, and looking at Xu Hualing's appearance, it was clear that she wouldn't stop at just defeating Xu Ziyin, but would probably take her life. In an instant, each of the old disciples felt as if the huge stone that had been weighing on their hearts had been lifted, their frustration and anxiety swept away, and they couldn't help but let out excited cheers.

  At the same time, the new disciples behind Xu Ziyuan also saw the killing intent in Xu Hualing's eyes. Every move and every style was extremely fierce, with a murderous aura spreading everywhere. They couldn't help but feel afraid, knowing that Xu Ziyuan had completely enraged these older disciples. They were worried that after Xu Hualing killed Xu Ziyuan, these older disciples would not let them off easily. They anxiously looked at Xu Ziyuan in the arena, with some people thinking, "Xu Ziyuan, what are you doing? Do you really think you can defeat a ninth-level disciple of the later heavens?" You may die, but you'll also drag us down with you. Thinking this, their gaze towards Xu Ziyuan was not only ungrateful but full of resentment.

  It was the teachers on the attic who had no other thoughts, they were now very curious about Xu Ziyuan and wanted to see how she would handle this situation. Earlier when she was facing that late-stage eighth-layer disciple, she was also very flustered at first, just like the current scene. But in the end, she gradually regained the upper hand, relying on her own late-stage sixth-layer cultivation to knock out that late-stage eighth-layer old disciple, which made these teachers full of interest in Xu Ziyuan.

  They all thought that this time Xu Ziyuan had encountered a post-heavenly ninth-layer person, and it was someone who took things seriously. I wonder if Xu Ziyuan can still win in the end.

  "Min Ge, do you think Xu Ziyuan can win this time?"

  "I've seen enough, after all, he's three levels higher than him." Ming Ge said with a hint of contemplation.

  "I think so too, just now she should have already surpassed her level to defeat a post-heaven eighth layer disciple. Now it's another realm higher, a post-heaven ninth layer disciple, that little girl will find it very hard to win again." someone continued.

  "Yes, and that girl is in continuous combat, it's impossible for her to have so much true energy to consume. Even if she has an extraordinary understanding of martial arts, the difference in realm makes the original true energy in his body not as good as the opponent's, let alone continuous combat. Defeat is certain," he said again.

  "Look at Xu Hualing, that girl has already moved with murderous intent, I'm afraid she really will kill that girl."

  "That little girl is a talent! If she dies like this, it's a loss for the family!"

  "Shall we go down and take a look?"

  "Alright, let's go down and take a look."

  Just as several teachers were about to go downstairs, a sudden shout and cheer came from outside the hall.

  For friends who think there are still fewer words, you can take a look at my previous book first. "Feng Ming Song" has just been completed and is very good to read.
