Chapter 9: More Killing

Yun Shu slightly frowned.
“What is it?” Yun Shu asked.
“Spin Kick! Rank four Ordinary Level! Of course, you’ve never seen it before!” Zhang Bao snorted.
His answer gave Yun Shu some thoughts.
His martial art skill is only of rank four, but I can’t even get close to him. Speaking of rank, mine is better than his, yet I can’t overwhelm him. It seems that a better understanding of a martial art skill also affects how much power the skill can yield. I have to keep practicing to improve myself!
1Afterward, Yun Shu had his claw gesture at the ready and quickly ran to Zhang Bao again.
“You really don’t learn your lesson.” Zhang Bao used his legs again.
However, Yun Shu could still remain calm because he was saving his trump card earlier.
Golden pupils, open!
Yun Shu said to himself in his mind. Right on the heels of that, his eyes turned golden!
Instantly, what he saw with his eyes suddenly changed. Instead of viewing trees and mountains, now Yun Shu could see Spirit Qi gathering. He could also observe Zhang Bao’s Spirit Qi through his body.
1Besides, Yun Shu was born with the amazing control of Spirit Qi.
After seeing how Zhang Bao’s Spirit Qi moved in his body, his movements suddenly became full of flaws in Yun Shu’s eyes!
And Yun Shu could easily take advantage of the flaws.
The next moment, Yun Shu drew close enough to Zhang Bao. His eagle-style claws fiercely reached out at breakneck speed.
Zhang Bao thought that he was the winner of the fight.
But somehow Yun Shu started fighting differently.
Zhang Bao believed that he was the winner of the fight. But somehow, Yun Shu started fighting differently. Although the movements were still the same as his strength and speed, the angles started becoming very tricky.
3It almost seemed that Yun Shu could predict his actions and react beforehand.
Yun Shu wouldn’t stop because the more he used the technique, the more familiar he became with it. In Yun Shu’s eyes, this was not a serious fight anymore but merely a chance for him to grind his skills.
A while later, he finally realized that Zhang Bao was not fighting back, so he withdrew his golden pupils. When he saw Zhang Bao again, Yun Shu himself was scared.
Zhang Bao was dying, hanging by a thread. His body was covered all over with cuts and wounds, and not even an inch of skin remained intact.
Yun Shu showed no mercy to him, however. “You deserve this. You forced me to come to this place and still tried to kill me here! You’re not the first one killed by me and won’t be the last either. After I solve the mysteries behind the three steles, I’ll get out and kill Fan Wen and his dogs one by one!”
Yun Shu raised his forearm straight like a knife and was ready to deliver the final blow. At this time, someone yelled angrily at him from the hill some distance away, “Stop, boy!”
Yun Shu was stunned by the voice. Obviously, it was a master who was shouting at him. By no means could Yun Shu fight him.
Despite this, Yun Shu still made up his mind and stabbed his hand into Zhang Bao’s heart, who died instantly. And at that moment, the master who had just yelled at Yun Shu also arrived on the scene.
“Presumptuous!” The master was enraged, his wrath blowing the leaves and tree branches up into the air. Then the fury transformed into the intention to kill and instantly turned the leaves and tree branches in the air into specks of dust.
Of course, Yun Shu also suffered greatly under the overwhelming pressure. He tried his best to keep standing and turned to look at the incomer.
It was the thin elderly man guarding the entrance of the Valley of Crime!
Yun Shu’s heart sank to the bottom. He was born in the Fire Mystic Sect, so he was well aware of the old man’s temperament. The first day he had seen him, Yun Shu knew that he didn’t like him much.
“Elder He, you want to kill him?!”
Yun Shu found the voice familiar. To his surprise, it was that fat elderly man!
The fat elderly man flapped his long sleeves and interrupted the thin elderly man’s fierce killing intent.
“Old Du, this evil thing just killed two people in the valley. This is a felony! Don’t tell me you’re gonna protect him!” coldly said the thin elderly man whose surname was He.
Old Du slightly frowned. He glanced at the two bodies on the ground and already had a rough idea of what had transpired. Murder in the Valley of Crime was a grave crime. No wonder Old He was so furious.
If Yun Shu was the true murderer, even Old Du wouldn’t be able to show any mercy to him. So he turned around and stared at Yun Shu, waiting for his response. However, when he saw Yun Shu, his eyes suddenly became as big as saucers out of surprise.
Yun Shu had left a deep impression on Old Du when he first came to the valley. At that time, he was not even a cultivator.
However, the boy had already reached the fifth level!
How could this be possible?!
“What did you do, boy?” asked Old Du.
Old He didn’t notice Yun Shu’s change until Old Du questioned the boy.
Reaching the fifth level within a day was something inconceivable!
Yun Shu also knew what the two elderly men were thinking about.
Murder is regarded as a felony in the valley. Although Master Du likes me, he wouldn’t just let me go that easily. The best way for me to get rid of the punishment is to make myself more valuable in their eyes!
What was Yun Shu to do?
