Unfettered Retribution: Slaughtering My Way through the World Chapter 69: What? You Killed Li Canghai?

At this very mont.

In a spacious courtyard.

Yunxing was sparring with a group of rising stars from the gang.

The clash of fists and feet echoed with a series of thunderous THUDS.

Her face beaded with sweat, Yunxing suddenly seized an opportunity. She pressed forward, striking her opponent with three consecutive palm strikes. Her opponent’s expression changed drastically. She hurriedly channeled her energy to counter the attack.

SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!

After three muffled impacts, she could no longer withstand Yunxing’s assault. Yunxing slapped her arm aside and struck her shoulder, forcing a grunt from her as she staggered back.

"Impressive. A fine ’Three Waves of the Yangtze River’!"

The woman in black martial attire clutched her shoulder, her expression complex.

"You’re not bad yourself. Holding out against for this long is quite a feat."

Yunxing flexed her wrists, her tone casual.

"Yunxing, is it true that Chen Xuan is your master’s new disciple?"

Suddenly, another young woman stepped forward and asked curiously.

The others all turned to Yunxing, their eyes filled with gossip.

Yunxing’s pretty face was a mixture of emotions. She nodded. "Yes, but don’t even think about sparring with him. He’s a monster, plain and simple!"

"I heard he clashed with Elder Li in the main hall today and even threatened to fight him to the death. It’s a good thing your master stopped them, so the fight never happened. Is that right?"

The woman in black martial attire from before chid in.

"I think so, but I don’t know the details."

Yunxing’s delicate brows furrowed slightly.

People like them weren’t qualified to attend the morning assembly.

So they didn’t know what had actually happened.

"That’s insane! He actually dared to provoke an elder at the Gang Energy Realm!"

"Yunxing, to be honest, your junior brother is a bit too arrogant. I won’t deny he’s a genius, but he can’t just go around provoking a Gang Energy Realm elder."

"Exactly. It’s a good thing the fight didn’t happen. Otherwise, it’s hard to imagine what the outco would have been."

"Yunxing, do you think Chen Xuan could beat Elder Li?"

All the young won looked at Yunxing.

Yunxing’s expression flickered, and she bit her lip.

"I don’t know."

She only knew one thing: Chen Xuan was a monster.

A monster the likes of which she had never seen before.

"You don’t know?"

The woman in black chuckled. "Then that ans he can’t win. That’s to be expected. If he *could* win, now *that* would be unnatural!"

"Exactly."

The other young won also began to laugh.

Soone in the Transforming Force Realm killing a Gang Energy expert.

It was sothing that was impossible even to imagine.

Such a thing was unheard of, not just in their Qinghe County, but across the entire Canglan Province.

Just then, a figure rushed past in the distance, looking flustered. Upon seeing Yunxing, he quickly called out, "Yunxing, is your master ho?"

"Ah, Steward Xu! Yes, he is!"

Yunxing was startled but quickly replied.

"Quick, go tell your master! Chen Xuan and Elder Li are fighting! It’s a duel to the death, right at the Hall of External Affairs!"

Xu Bao said urgently.

"What?"

All the young won’s faces paled in shock.

BOOM!

From a room in the back, a silver-haired old man burst out with incredible speed. He instantly grabbed Xu Bao’s wrist, squeezing so hard that Xu Bao cried out in pain.

"Where is Chen Xuan?"

Li Changsheng demanded, his voice a mixture of shock and fury.

"At the Hall of External Affairs!"

Xu Bao grunted in pain.

"Li Canghai, you motherfucker!"

Li Changsheng roared like a rampaging beast and, with a WHOOSH, shot off toward the Hall of External Affairs.

’If anything happens to my disciple, I’ll slaughter all of Li Canghai’s disciples! I’ll make the Li family pay a price in blood!’

’Damn it, who set Chen Xuan up to fight a duel with Li Canghai?’

At that mont, Li Changsheng was like a man possessed.

Yunxing, her face a mask of horror, didn’t hesitate and quickly followed.

The remaining girls all rushed after them.

They couldn’t imagine it—was this Chen Xuan really that bold?

He had just been talked down from one fight, and now he was provoking Elder Li again?

The entire gang was in an uproar.

Countless people had received the news by now...

Even Hou Tong, wrapped heavily in bandages, revealed a cold, gloating smile. Leaning on a crutch, he limped his way toward the Hall of External Affairs.

’I want to see for myself what fate awaits this guy. Beating so badly was one thing, but how dare he repeatedly provoke my master? And now he’s actually fighting my master? Does he really think my master is so kind old man? If his master doesn’t beat the shit out of him, he’d be getting off easy.’

...

「The Hall of External Affairs.」

Chen Xuan gazed at Li Canghai, whom he had forcefully planted into the ground. He let out a soft breath of hot air, feeling a faint weakness spread through his limbs.

Under the effects of his Indestructible Fist Intent, he had unleashed his power, his strength like that of a dragon. He hadn’t noticed anything while fighting.

But now that the fight was over, he felt an indescribable sense of exhaustion.

Fortunately, this exhaustion wasn’t an injury and would quickly fade.

"So this is all you amounted to. You kept saying I wasn’t strong enough, that I couldn’t handle great responsibility. And what’s the result? I still beat you to death. I wouldn’t have blad you for wanting to stand up for your disciple, Hou Tong. But your thods were too despicable, and that’s precisely the kind of low-handed trick I despise."

Chen Xuan said.

[You have killed a Gang Energy master who was pulling rank, trying to suppress and sche against you. Retribution is exceptionally sweet. 6800 retribution points!]

A line of text appeared.

’The reward isn’t that high... It seems my previous conclusion was correct.’

Chen Xuan mused.

’Just killing him outright was letting him off too easy. He died before he could even feel regret or fear. Only by crushing them under my heel, breaking them ntally and spiritually until they howl in ultimate agony and despair, can I reap the greatest rewards.’

The entire courtyard was dead silent.

You could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared at the scene, their faces filled with terror.

They simply couldn’t believe their eyes.

Elder Li, an expert of the Gang Qi Realm, had been beaten to death.

Planted into the ground.

How was this possible?

"Li Canghai, get your fucking ass out here!"

An furious, deafening roar, like that of a raging lion, ca from outside. It rolled in with a thunderous boom that made everyone’s eardrums ache.

The crowd grunted in pain and quickly turned to look.

With a BOOM, a figure shot in from outside, carrying a powerful and ferocious Gang Energy, and landed squarely in the middle of the courtyard.

The ground cracked, a fierce wind howled, and countless bits of rubble flew in all directions.

Li Changsheng was incandescent with rage.

After landing, his eyes scanned the area, searching for Li Canghai.

He was terrified that his new disciple had been crippled by Li Canghai.

If that had happened, he would not rest until one of them was dead!

"Master!"

A calm, slightly quizzical voice suddenly rang out, making Li Changsheng’s heart jolt. He whipped around and his gaze fell upon Chen Xuan, who was standing not far away. He was both shocked and delighted.

"Chen Xuan, you’re alright? Where’s Li Canghai? Did he leave?"

Li Changsheng asked quickly.

’Good, good, good! Li Canghai was afraid of after all. He didn’t dare to harm my disciple.’

"Left?"

Chen Xuan had a strange expression on his face. He nodded and said, "Mm, you could say he left. He just went back to his hotown, so to speak."

He extended a finger and pointed down at his feet.

At first, Li Changsheng didn’t understand what he ant. But as his gaze followed Chen Xuan’s finger downwards, his pupils contracted violently, a look of utter horror on his face.

Li Canghai!

How is this possible?

"Chen Xuan, what... what happened here?"

Li Changsheng was aghast, finding it almost impossible to believe.

"It’s nothing. I happened to run into him here. He challenged to a duel to the death, so I beat him to death with my bare hands. Everyone here is a witness. His skills were lacking, so he has no one else to bla!"

Chen Xuan’s tone was flat as he glanced at the crowd.

A collective shiver ran down their spines, and they instinctively backed away.

"What? You killed Li Canghai?"

Li Changsheng’s eyes widened, as if questioning his very existence.

What kind of monster was this?

He whirled to look at the others.

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Chen Xuan killed Elder Li..."

so naless lackey said in terror.

Li Changsheng’s mind roared, and he was completely stunned.

Just then, Yunxing and her group of female companions finally rushed over. When they heard what was being said, it was as if their scalps exploded. Their minds buzzed, each one more horrified than the last.

Chen Xuan... killed Elder Li?

Even Hou Tong, who had just arrived limping on his crutch, was filled with terror. His body trembled, and the crutch slipped from his hand and fell to the ground. His eyes were fixed on the corpse in the courtyard.

’My master is dead... My master was killed by Chen Xuan? How can this be?’

Hou Tong was terrified beyond belief.
