Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Overbearing, Let Go!
Heh heh...
Blood spurted from Yan Qi’s nose and mouth as he extended a hand to grab aimlessly at Luo Cheng before collapsing straight down. His eyes widened in shock, filled with fury, regret, and a deep disbelief.
Even at the moment of death, he could not comprehend.
Why would Luo Cheng kill him?
How dare Luo Cheng kill him?
As Yan Qi fell, the entire Martial Arts Square plunged into an eerie silence.
Everyone was stunned, staring incredulously at the upright, unyielding figure standing on the stage.
"Luo Cheng actually killed Yan Qi! Such dominance!"
Someone exclaimed in awe.
Before this, no one had expected the duel to end this way.
Only in the Tongxuan Realm First Layer, Middle Stage, Luo Cheng had defeated Yan Qi, who had advanced to the Tongxuan Realm Second Layer!
What shocked the crowd even more was that despite the threats and obstruction of Ren Xiaoguang and the others from Crown Prince Hall, Luo Cheng still slayed Yan Qi with one sword!
Without the slightest hesitation, clean and resolute.
Utter disregard for Crown Prince Hall.
Many members of Crown Prince Hall reddened with fury, glaring angrily at Luo Cheng, their rage uncontainable.
In Xuanyuan Sect,
Crown Prince Hall members had always suppressed and slaughtered others.
Today, someone actually dared to humiliate them in return!
And this person was a worthless being who had awakened a Wasted Martial Soul!
Simply outrageous!
"Luo Cheng killed Yan Qi..."
Yuan Zhilan was also taken aback.
She didn’t sympathize with Yan Qi, but feared that Luo Cheng’s actions would completely offend Crown Prince Hall.
Chen Lingyu, however, admired Luo Cheng’s decisiveness and swordsman spirit, commenting:
"If he hadn’t killed Yan Qi today, Yan Qi would surely kill him in the future. Killing one reduces one threat."
"Indeed!"
Gu Lingfeng nodded emphatically.
Having experienced the ordeal of severe injury, his mindset had shifted.
This world inherently respected the strong and was unbearably brutal; overly weak individuals would never rise!
One must kill when necessary to eliminate future troubles!
"Luo Cheng! How dare you! Slaying a fellow disciple — such a crime warrants death!"
Suddenly, a thunderous shout rang out.
Ren Xiaoguang’s face was grim as he stared at Luo Cheng, a storm surging in his eyes.
He had already spoken out to stop Luo Cheng, yet Luo Cheng still dared to kill!
This left him utterly humiliated!
Clang!
Luo Cheng sheathed his sword, looked at Ren Xiaoguang, and sneered coldly:
"A life-and-death duel — anyone who steps forward must come prepared to die. What, is he allowed to kill me, but I’m not allowed to kill him? What a joke!"
"As for whether I am guilty, that’s not for you to decide. Who do you think you are? Are you a sect elder, or a True Disciple with the authority over life and death?"
Upon hearing this, the Outer Sect disciples present visibly changed color.
Who was Ren Xiaoguang?
A Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Martial Artist, ranked in the top twenty of the Outer Sect— he was not someone Yan Qi could compare to!
Yet Luo Cheng dared to speak to Ren Xiaoguang in such a tone. Pure audacity!
Ren Xiaoguang was furious to the point of exploding, but Luo Cheng’s mention of True Disciple woke him up. Grinding his teeth, he said:
"Don’t think having someone backing you lets you act recklessly! Offend our Crown Prince Hall, and you’ll only meet death! Just wait — sooner or later, you’ll land in my hands!"
"I look forward to that day."
Luo Cheng ignored the threats, his tone indifferent.
Ren Xiaoguang’s face was livid, his fists clenched tightly, making cracking sounds.
He had always been arrogant, but compared to Luo Cheng, it seemed like worlds apart!
Since entering Xuanyuan Sect, no one had ever dared defy his words!
At this moment, the Fifth Elder spoke up: "A life-and-death duel — life and death depend on fate. This was Yan Qi’s own agreement, and that will be the end of it."
Ren Xiaoguang fumed with resentment, but dared not defy the Fifth Elder. He could only swallow his seething rage, his eyes glaring daggers at Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng couldn’t be bothered with him and turned towards Yan Qi’s corpse, beginning to rummage under the shocked gazes of the crowd.
Seeing this, the Crown Prince Hall members grew even angrier.
This kind of behavior was akin to stepping directly on the face of Crown Prince Hall!
Luo Cheng searched meticulously.
In the end, Yan Qi’s body only yielded a few hundred thousand Gold Notes, several dozen Essence Energy Pills, and some low-level elixirs, their total value barely exceeding a million Gold Notes.
"How is it so little?"
Luo Cheng frowned deeply.
Yan Qi was, after all, a Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Martial Artist and a Crown Prince Hall member.
Luo Cheng had expected to plunder a few million but found his hopes dashed.
"Heh, how did I forget about this!"
His gaze landed on the Purple-Blue Soft Armor on Yan Qi’s body, and his eyes sparkled.
The value of Star-level Treasures was far from ordinary, often several times, even ten times that of elixirs of the same grade!
A Three-star Weapon would be worth several million, potentially tens of millions!
As for defensive Star-level Treasures, their value was often higher.
After all, life is irreplaceable; no amount of wealth outweighs survival.
This soft armor could amplify Yan Qi’s Protective Essence Energy to Tongxuan Realm Third Layer levels— it was definitely extraordinary. It should be a top-grade Three-star Treasure, worth at least ten million!
Without hesitation, Luo Cheng tore open Yan Qi’s clothes and prepared to strip off the Purple-Blue Soft Armor.
At this moment, Qi Guyun, who had been grim-faced the entire time, suddenly spoke:
"You can take the other items, but this Purple-Blue Soft Armor belongs to my cousin, Jin Min. Leave it!"
His tone was cold and domineering, carrying an unquestionable aura of authority, like a titan commanding an ant from on high.
Everyone sensed Qi Guyun’s fury, and their hearts trembled.
As the Outer Sect’s Chief Disciple and the cousin of Eighth Prince Jin Min, the mere mention of Qi Guyun’s name brought unparalleled pressure upon Outer Sect disciples, leaving many too afraid to even breathe.
Luo Cheng, however, completely ignored him. He swiftly stripped off the Purple-Blue Soft Armor and, without a glance, stored it in his Storage Spirit Ring.
He still needed a fortune worth billions to cultivate the Nine Essence Energy Vortexes and was completely penniless.
The only valuable item on Yan Qi’s body was this Purple-Blue Soft Armor; there was no way Luo Cheng would give it up.
If it belonged to Jin Min, then he was even less inclined to return it!
As for the trouble it might bring, things had already escalated this far; Luo Cheng had no fear of adding a few more issues.
Seeing Luo Cheng stash away the Purple-Blue Soft Armor, Qi Guyun’s eyes narrowed, his calm expression emanating a terrifying pressure. His icy tone carried authority:
"I’ll say it one more time — hand over the Purple-Blue Soft Armor!"
Luo Cheng disregarded the coercion and chuckled lightly: n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
"This soft armor, I will present to Senior Sister Yun Mengli. Since it belongs to Senior Brother Jin Min, then let Senior Brother Jin Min request it back from Senior Sister Yun Mengli."
At these words, Qi Guyun’s gaze turned chilling, like an eternal glacial freeze.
Anyone could discern that Luo Cheng was using Yun Mengli to suppress him!
Just then, a mocking voice rang out.
"Hmph, truly shameless. To stoop so low for a Three-star Treasure, how typical of a petty man blinded by fleeting success. Senior Sister Yun Mengli, the pride of the heavens, must have been utterly blind to value such a disgraceful waste!"
From the audience, a fifteen-or sixteen-year-old female disciple of Crown Prince Hall, dressed in luxurious robes and impeccably beautiful, sneered disdainfully. Her long and slender phoenix-shaped eyes shot contemptuous glances at Luo Cheng.
