nLin Tianyou had just jumped out when Xia Qingchen leaped into midair with a high speed of 20 feet per step, sweeping out his long leg.

n“Fire Phoenix Illuminates the Sky!”

nHe controlled his strength slightly, performing the Fire Phoenix Illuminates the Sky with only around 70% of its prowess.

nDespite so, Lin Tianyou was still swept out like a sandbag, flying out in the air and then smashed into the ground, spurting blood non-stop.

n“Ahh! Martial Brother Lin!” Xiao Fenyu screamed out and ran over to check him out.

nShe discovered that Lin Tianyou had already been knocked out by Xia Qingchen’s kick, and his limbs were all convulsing. He was in an ugly state.

n“You!” Xiao Fenyu screamed, pouncing over like a fierce ghost. “How dare you hurt Brother Lin!”

nXia Qingchen didn’t think much of it.

nWhat did she mean by him hurting Lin Tianyou?

nLin Tianyou was the one who had launched a sneak attack. He had lost but still crazily sought revenge.

nWould she only be satisfied if he were to stand there and get hit by Lin Tianyou?

nUnder normal circumstances, she should feel ashamed for Lin Tianyou’s despicable actions and apologize to him

nTo think that she would accuse him instead and then continued attacking.

n“Scram!” Xia Qingchen couldn’t be bothered to talk much to an unreasonable woman. He struck out with Fire Phoenix Illuminates the Sky.

nEven Lin Tianyou was unable to take this attack, let alone her.

nShe was kicked in the face, and the intense spark left a scorching scar on her beautiful face.

nAll the students from the A class and D class gasped.

nXiao Fenyu was a well-known beauty in this batch of students of the martial pavilion. She was the dream lover of many young men.

nNo one expected that Xia Qingchen would deal such a harsh attack, injuring her face.

nXiao Fenyu crashed onto the ground, holding her face and viewing Xia Qingchen with great hostility. “You dare to hit me?”

nXia Qingchen replied calmly, “I’m not your father. Why should I condone your bad habits?”

nOnly parents would condone their children’s willfulness without any limits.

nIt was a pity that Xia Qingchen wasn’t her parent.

n“You!” Xiao Fenyu felt very angry, but she didn’t dare to act recklessly anymore.

nXia Qingchen was very strong, unbelievably strong.

nEven the strongest Lin Tianyou and herself had been defeated by a single kick from him, how could they take revenge?

nMoreover, he didn’t show any leniency toward her as a lady, so she didn’t dare to offend him any further.

nXia Qingchen turned his gaze toward the students from the A class and smiled. “I’ve been a little rough, do excuse me. Is there anyone else who wants to compete against me?”

nAll the arrogant students averted their gazes.

nThey were afraid that if they were to meet his gaze, he might misunderstand that as a sign of a challenge.

nTherefore, there was a short moment of silence.

n“Isn’t this good? Isn’t it good for everyone to be quiet and get along together?” Xia Qingchen said calmly.

nAfter saying that, he returned to the campfire and set up his grass hut.

nThe campfire party ended with that.

nContrasting against the A class’s great disappointment and sorry state, the students from the D class had unprecedentedly high morale and were a lot more spirited.

nIt was late at night, but they were still wanting to train.

nIt was because watching Xia Qingchen defeating students from the A class had stimulated their battle will.

n“Erm, I’m sorry. My tone hadn’t been too good in the past, so…” Liu Yiyi went up to Xia Qingchen, her ten fingers tangled together, and she apologized with a reddened face.

nShe was offering her sincere apology.

nShe had spoken words of spite toward Xia Qingchen multiple times prior to this.

nIf Xia Qingchen were someone who was bent on seeking revenge, then she would have gotten a harsh beating and ended up being in the same plight as Xiao Fenyu.

nHowever, Xia Qingchen was very forgiving. Despite being so strong, he never sought revenge with his martial prowess.

nIt was hard for her to not feel sincere admiration toward a person like him who was so broadminded and upright.

nXia Qingchen didn’t think much of it. He turned and smiled. “I’m not angry, so why are you apologizing? But you must avoid being proud and arrogant in the future. Only then would you be able to have great developments on the martial path.”

n“Thank you Brother Xia for your guidance,” Liu Yiyi said, feeling embarrassed.

nA commotion broke out amongst the students from D class who saw this scene.

nLiu Yiyi’s face flushed up and she glared at them in embarrassment.

nAmidst waves of laughter, Xia Qingchen and their relationship were slowly getting amicable very quickly.

nThis night was destined to be a sleepless night.

nLate in the night.

nThe starry night sky was quiet and it was tranquil by the lake.

nThere was only the sound of burning firewood, as well as occasional crackling sounds.

nEverything sounded so tranquil as if this was a drawing mentioned in the poetries.

nSuddenly, many soft swooshes rang out.

nXia Qingchen’s grass hut was cut open quietly by a metal blade.

nThe cold metal blade exuded the cold tone of death amidst the night.

nOne, no, two figures that were completely covered up snuck in quietly through the slit they cut.

nTheir eyes emitted cold and vicious gleams. One of them held onto a metal blade, slashing out toward Xia Qingchen’s neck.

nThe other held onto a sack, covering toward Xia Qingchen’s mouth.

nThey were going to quietly kill Xia Qingchen in the grass hut.

nThe metal blade got near!

nThree feet!

nTwo feet!

nOne foot!

nThe masked man’s eyes exuded a strong killing gleam, and he slashed down the blade fiercely, wanting to slash Xia Qingchen’s throat.

nHowever, at this moment, Xia Qingchen who was deep asleep suddenly opened his eyes.

nHis eyes seemed very awake.

nCold starlight radiated out from them.

n“I’ve been waiting for very long!” Xia Qingchen said with a cold voice, and his fingers curled up, long prepared!

nChi chi chi——

nThe sounds of countless shaking threads rang through in the grass hut.

n“Do it!” The two masked men were caught by surprise and hastened their action, the blade slashing down.

nHowever, when the blade was only half a foot away from Xia Qingchen’s neck, it couldn’t go down any further.

nIt was as if there was something invisible but very tough that was holding it back firmly.

nIt was the golden cicada silk.

nBefore Xia Qingchen slept, he had covered the area half a foot away on top of his body, leaving no gaps.

nThere weren’t any sharp blades that could cut through the net of golden cicada silk.

n“He is on his guard!” The countenance of the man holding the blade changed, and he let out a deep bellow. “Use martial skills!”

nHe gave up on his blade decisively, switching to use martial skills.

nXia Qingchen’s gaze was icy cold, and his fingers flicked out consecutively. Amidst chi chi chi sounds, several streams of invisible golden cicada silk shot out from the grass hut like there was some kind of mechanism.

nThe masked man who was holding onto the cloth sack suddenly felt the area at his waist, upper thigh, and neck tightened, strangled by countless threads. He was pulled back to a pillar at the side, firmly bound.

nThe other masked man showed no hesitation after seeing this, striking out a serious palm attack toward Xia Qingchen’s chest.

n“Barbaric Elephant Gallops in the Wild!”

nXia Qingchen also struck out.

nRumble——

nA sound that was like stifled thunder erupted in the grass hut.

nThis Barbaric Elephant Gallops in the Wild was very domineering, standing above everything else in the world.

nThe masked man was caught unaware and sent flying back from the palm strike, smashing the grass hut.

nHowever, his cultivation base was quite high and he wasn’t seriously injured.

nHe merely rolled on the ground for a bit before he got back up to his feet quickly.

nHe wanted to dash into the grass hut once again and get rid of Xia Qingchen, but it was already too late.

nThe huge commotion had woken up the entire camp.

nQin Lin, who was near Xia Qingchen, was the first to react. He let out a loud cry and came charging over.

nThe masked man clenched his teeth and leaped into the pitch-black Ping Lake, leaving only ripples behind, disappearing without a trace.

nQin Lin had wanted to give chase but was more concerned about Xia Qingchen. He shifted through the collapsed grass hut.

nWhen he saw that Xia Qingchen was uninjured, he heaved a sigh of relief.

nSuddenly, he noticed the masked man Xia Qingchen had bound up. He coldly pulled off the mask. “Who sent you?”

nThe unmasked man wore a fierce expression, saying, “No one. I’m jealous of Xia Qingchen, so I have the idea of killing him.”

nWas that so?

n
