Chapter 204: Chapter 202: Sheer Veil (Part 2) The axe swung halfway, with a piercing sound like a wailing ghost, seemingly cutting through the air. On both sides, a white airflow visible to the naked eye formed, wildly dispersing in both directions. It bent the wild grass on the ground, blew the dust into a swirl, and sent stone fragments rolling constantly... Lin Zongbiao, eyes wide open, instantly shifted from attack to defense, raising his spear to block the path of the axe. ’Bang!’ The extraordinary profound iron spear easily snapped into two under the inhuman force of sixty-five thousand pounds. The axe continued forward without pause. "No!" Lin Zongbiao let out a terrified scream as he met his end. ’Pfft!’ Next came a great head, with gray temples and neatly combed hair, flying skyward! Widely regarded in the martial world for years, Tai City’s second-best martial artist, Lin Zongbiao, was killed by a single blow from Lou Yi! This time, he didn’t use any cheap tricks. Instead, he overwhelmed with genuine strength, pushed forth with immense power, and broke through everything with sheer violence! "Now it’s your turn!" After killing Lin Zongbiao, Lou Yi’s momentum became even more formidable, almost turning into an invincible War God. Old Master Xu was Tai City’s real powerhouse, also aware of the presence of momentum, and dealing with such a person required meticulous caution. But to Lou Yi’s shock, Old Master Xu turned around and fled. Using his lightweight skill, he performed the Wave-Riding Steps in mid-air, his figure shrinking in the distance, showing no interest in even a single exchange. The top expert of Tai City fled in such disarray? "Where do you think you’re going!" Lou Yi roared in anger. While chasing Old Master Xu, he casually tore off the chain armor gifted by the City Lord to Patriarch Fang. Passing over the corpses of several dead wolf demons, he not only acquired over forty energy points but also seized a new talent. However, now was not the time to check it. Someone as ruthless as Old Master Xu must not be allowed to return to the city alive. Otherwise, Lou Yi feared he wouldn’t sleep well at night. ’Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!’ He took out the slingshot, continuously using stones to force the opponent’s movements, preventing him from reaching the city tower. In the meantime, he decisively activated the Swift Talent, making a violent leap that spanned over a hundred steps, persistently pursuing Old Master Xu without yielding in speed. Thus, Old Master Xu failed to return to the city, being forcibly driven to a direction deviating from the city tower. ’Hua, hua!’ In mid-air, his feet quickly stomped on the air, garments fluttering in the wind, motions graceful beyond measure. However, his complexion was rather pale and unsightly, with the flesh on his right shoulder bloodied and blurred, his arm hanging limply to the side. This was his greatest reason for daring not to confront Lou Yi. Never mind that now he was far from his peak. Even in his prime, killing a seasoned martial artist like Lin Zongbiao in one blow was practically impossible. Thus, Old Master Xu felt a fear long forgotten, completely devoid of any thought of facing Lou Yi, only hoping to escape with his life. Yet Lou Yi pursued so closely, giving him no opportunity to reach the city tower. However, if that person were willing to help... Thinking this, a surge of motivation arose in Old Master Xu’s heart, accelerating even his lightweight skill a bit. Leading Lou Yi in continuous evasions outside the city, they finally entered the city from a remote spot, desperately heading toward the Xu Family. "Old villain, where do you think you’re running!" Lou Yi shouted loudly from behind. Though his explosive power was remarkable, he ultimately suffered from not knowing the lightweight skill, allowing Old Master Xu to escape into the city. However, Lou Yi was determined to kill him today; even if the City Lord came to stop him, it wouldn’t matter! ’Hua, hua, hua!’ ’Bang, bang, bang!’ 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮 Old Master Xu and Lou Yi. One continuously used lightweight skill in the air, garments flying and motions elegant. The other recklessly stomped the ground, constantly bouncing, leaving noticeable sunken footprints wherever he passed, outrageously brutish. The noise they created was so immense that many residents staying home were alerted to watch. "Look, how is that person flying in the sky?" "That’s a martial artist from the rumors! Martial artists can walk on air; don’t you know?" "Wow, martial artists are so awesome, why is one still being chased down!" The people’s remarks reached Old Master Xu’s ears, nearly making him vomit blood in anger. Thinking about how Xu Fangling had dominated Jiang City for eighty years, when had he ever been so embarrassed? ’Almost there, almost there!’ Thinking of the shadow in the family’s underground vault, Old Master Xu was filled with boundless hope. At that time, he would see how that arrogant little thief dies! ’Bang!’ A moment later, he landed first in the Xu Family’s rear garden, threw a palm in the air at the stone slab covering the vault. ’Bang!’ The stone slab was pushed away by an air pillar, revealing a huge dark space inside. Old Master Xu leaped in without a thought. In the next moment, Lou Yi also landed with a ’bang’ beside the vault’s entrance. He squinted his eyes, taking no immediate action. Meanwhile, at the instant Old Master Xu jumped into the entrance. ’Snap!’ The white cat trapped in the profound iron cage within the vault was suddenly hit by a force, bursting into pieces! Old Master Xu witnessed this scene just in time, his brain buzzing, totally stunned. At the same time. Hundreds of miles away, below Jiang City’s city tower. The winged tiger, usually glaring and eagerly waiting, suddenly let out an anguished roar, blood tears streaming from its eyes. It twisted its head fiercely, looking in the direction of Tai City, eyes radiating immense hatred and killing intent! "Roar!" Its figure flashed and disappeared from the original spot, swiftly rushing toward Tai City! As the winged tiger left. The beast tide army originally surrounding Jiang City rapidly retreated, shifting direction, spreading toward Tai City’s direction. "The beast tide retreated!" "That terrifying white tiger finally left!" "Haha, we’re saved, how wonderful!" A wave of cheers erupted on Jiang City’s city tower. Beside the Jiang City Lord, Meng Konghua wore a thoughtful expression. "Finally made a move..." Tai City, Xu Family. Old Master Xu looked at the white cat turned into broken meat, completely stunned, his scalp tingling. Above the vault, after observing several breaths and confirming no danger, Lou Yi leaped down, just catching sight of the frozen back of Old Master Xu. "Die!" Without thinking twice, Lou Yi raised his axe, aiming to strike him from behind. ’Clang!’ Old Master Xu turned back with a precise sword strike, blocking the attack. Under the shower of sparks, both stepped back a pace. "Young friend, it was all a misunderstanding earlier." Old Master Xu bore an awkward smile, "It’s better to resolve animosities than create them. If today’s grudges can be let go, the Xu Family will offer generous rewards. Even a million tales of silver, tens of thousands of acres of good farmland, aren’t out of negotiation." The Xu Family indeed had formidable wealth, even able to produce a million tales of silver. Lou Yi thought to himself. Yet his expression remained resolute with killing intent: "If I kill you, those will be mine anyway." ...
