6 Spring Cleaning

"Presumptuous!"

A thunderous voice rang out in the sky that shocked everyone till their eardrums hurt.

A slender figure approached from a distance. He was dressed in black and there were three golden swords embroidered with gold threads on his cuffs. His face was handsome, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

He walked towards them in a steady gait, and there was a kind of magnificent aura spreading out from him, so much so that everyone felt a little suffocated.

"Three golden swords, this is the symbol of a legacy disciple! I remember now, he is a newly-promoted legacy disciple of Law Enforcement Hall, Deng Yalin, Senior Brother Deng!" someone exclaimed with a look of awe in his eyes.

"Senior Brother Deng is only seventeen years of age, yet he has broken through into the Spiritualisation Boundary and has been promoted to be a legacy disciple. His staggering talent is second only to Senior Sister Nangong in the entire sect. It's very impressive!"

"Now, Ling Xiao is dead for sure. No matter how strong he is, he is not Senior Brother Deng's match. The difference between True Qi Boundary and Spiritualisation Boundary is not only by a level!"

There was a heated discussion amongst the crowd, and they all looked at Ling Xiao with different expressions. Some with sarcasm, some with sympathy, and others with indifference, but one thing in common was that they all agreed Ling Xiao was no match for Deng Yalin.

"You mean me?" Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow and shifted his gaze to Deng Yalin. He glanced at him scrupulously.

A seventeen-year-old Spiritualisation Boundary master could indeed be regarded as quite talented, but it was only decent at best. Ling Xiao had seen countless geniuses in his previous life. Some from the powerful races were born with the Grandmaster Boundary and would achieve the Aristocracy Boundary in their tens.

Deng Yalin's gaze suddenly darkened a little.

He was one of the brightest geniuses in Longevity Sect. He has lived in the limelight of everyone's admiration since childhood, so Ling Xiao's casual attitude made him feel a little offended.

"You, a lowly disciple, dare to run up to Mount Longevity and hurt my Senior Brother of the Law Enforcement Hall. Such huge courage! Kneel down and confess your guilt. Otherwise, I will end your life today!" Deng Yalin's voice became a little more threatening. Then, he looked down at Ling Xiao disrespectfully, his eyes indifferent.

In Longevity Sect, disciples below seventh tier Pulse Unsealing Boundary were regarded as lowly disciples, and those above seventh tier Pulse Unsealing Boundary would be promoted as outer sect disciples.

The dirtiest and most tiring tasks of Longevity Sect were almost entirely carried out by lowly disciples and outer sect disciples. Their statuses were also the lowest as they are not eligible to live on Mount Longevity and could only live in the valley outside.

Once broken through the True Qi Boundary only could they be promoted as an inner sect disciple, and their status would greatly improve. They would then be qualified to cultivate powerful martial arts skills and be entitled to receive resources from the sect regularly.

However, breaking through to the Spiritualisation Boundary would grant somebody the status of a legacy disciple who would be able to enjoy an extremely honorable position throughout the sect — second only to the Elders and the Sect Leader.

After all, among the thousands of disciples in Longevity Sect, there were only a few dozen legacy disciples.

Ling Xiao was only at fourth tier Pulse Unsealing Boundary, yet he was able to surpass dozens of small boundaries and defeat Chen Feng, who was of sixth tier True Qi Boundary. This talent could no longer be described as powerful, it was simply devilish.

The former Ling Xiao was just a trash with first tier Pulse Unsealing Boundary. Now, he had truly shocked everyone, and people were starting to suspect something amiss.

Hence, Deng Yalin deduced that Ling Xiao must have gotten some sort of precious treasure that had allowed him to undergo such an astonishing transformation.

"Once I've killed him, that treasure will fall into my hands. By that time, it will no longer be difficult for me to surpass Nangong Qing, and I can even compete with those geniuses of the Ancient Great Barrenland. I must obtain it!" 

There were a vague murderous intent and a hint of greed flashing across Deng Yalin's eyes as he looked at Ling Xiao.

"You want me to kneel?" Ling Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly.

"That's right! If you kneel and confess your guilt, I can just cripple your cultivation and spare your life!" Deng Yalin said arrogantly, but he was secretly hoping for Ling Xiao to refuse and fight back, so he would have a reason to kill him.

"Hahahaha..." Ling Xiao suddenly laughed, and a mighty life force permeated from him. After a moment, his laughter stopped abruptly and his sharp gaze fell on Deng Yalin's body.

"Who in this world dares to ask me to kneel? Even God doesn't have the right to. Who do you think you are? And what makes you think you have the power to make me kneel and confess?" Ling Xiao's voice said out loud with an unruly look on his face. "Good, very good!"

Deng Yalin let out an infuriated laugh and said, "You've hurt your fellow Senior Brothers and dishonored the sect commandments. It seems that you are a lawless beast, and surely you will become a huge problem for the sect in days to come. Today, I sentence you to death in the name of a legacy disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall. How about that? "

Deng Yalin might be vexed deep down, but it only made him more determined to kill Ling Xiao.

"Senior Brother Deng, kill him!"

"Brother Deng, this little beast must have cultivated some dark arts, or maybe he is a spy from other sects. Destroy him!"

Chen Feng, Ling Kun, and the others looked at Ling Xiao with loathful looks as they said that.

Instead, Ling Xiao smiled coldly. "Do you have any idea how glorious Longevity Sect was ten thousand years ago? Even those world-class Supremes would bow their heads to Longevity Sect. Today's Longevity Sect is so diminished that it's full of people like you guys — people who do not know how to make progress, people who only know how to view things from one perspective, people who plot against your own kind and oppress the others. If Longevity Sect were to rise, it is a must to remove you cancerous lot. Today, I shall do a spring cleaning on behalf of the sect and annihilate you lot of garbage! "

The Law Enforcement Hall people provoked Ling Xiao repeatedly, and they did so with such repulsive arrogance, with no regard at all as to what was right or wrong. A feeling of sorrow and anger had thus been boiling deep within his heart. He mourned the sect's misfortune, and he was frustrated over the failure of these people.

Boom!

A voluptuous life force permeated from Ling Xiao's body. His black hair started to rise in the air as his eyes gleamed brightly. It was as if he became a young Supreme, he emitted a fiery light like the sun and the moon, making it hard for people to stare at him directly.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Ling Xiao edged closer step by step, and with each step, there was a strange rhythm as if the whole heaven and earth shuddered along with him. His majestic aura came crashing towards Deng Yalin whose face turned pale all of a sudden.

This life force, this majesty, he had never felt as such even from Nangong Xuan himself!

How was it possible for Ling Xiao to have such a life force?

It had to be the power of that treasure!

Deng Yalin's eyes were fiercely murderous and greedy. He yelled, "You, an ant-like lowly disciple, dare to have this wishful thinking of spring cleaning? Die!"

His murderous intent poured out without any concealment, and Deng Yalin immediately made a move.

Boom!

He was seen throwing out a punch before the immense True Qi from his whole body swirled violently. The surrounding air seemed to have been compressed before a golden fist print was formed in mid-air, which came crashing down ferociously towards Ling Xiao.

Lesser Titanium Fist, Onxy level superior martial arts!

The Spiritualisation Boundary allowed for spirituality to transcend upon True Qi which in turn, enabled the creation of illusion among all things in the world. Deng Yalin's Lesser Titanium Punch was crisp, imposing and magnificent. With one hit, it covered up to a hundred feet radius of the surrounding area around ​​Ling Xiao.

Apparently, Deng Yalin had also noticed that Ling Xiao's Longevity Footwork was weird, so he did not give him any chance to dodge. Instead, he launched a vigorous attack directly, wanting to kill off Ling Xiao in one strike!
