The pale-faced scholar was very strong, and his whereabouts were mysterious. Yang Feilong had not expected to find him so smoothly based on the existing intelligence.
Of course, the existing intelligence was the clues left by the Tang siblings and others who had set a "trap" to lure the pale-faced scholar. Coupled with the scholar's courage and strength, it was analyzed that he had a certain possibility of voluntarily entering this trap. Because the specific details were unknown, the intelligence was not accurate enough, so Yang Feilong arrived a little late, and eight people almost perished.
However, whether these people lived or died had little impact on the authorities, as most of them were disciples of families not cooperating with the authorities, and many of them were arrogant and willful. If they died, they died.
Therefore, Yang Feilong did not have much regret for not being able to save everyone, as he had done his best.
Besides, he didn't know those people. However, he still had to save the Tang siblings. After all, when the Tang family held the hero's arena competition, Yang Feilong participated and gained a lot of benefits. Moreover, the Tang family had a certain degree of cooperation with the authorities. If he saved the Tang siblings this time, he might be able to secure more cooperation for the authorities, making the Tang family an official partner. The main reason was that the Tang family's hidden weapons were of great use to the authorities. Ordinary people could kill ordinary cultivators with certain hidden weapons, and cultivators could unleash combat power far exceeding their own by relying on hidden weapons!
Of course, everything had to wait until the pale-faced scholar was killed and the Tang siblings were saved!
The current situation of the Tang siblings was extremely dire. If no one looked after them, they might not even survive an hour!
Therefore, Yang Feilong decided to end the battle quickly and kill the pale-faced scholar with lightning speed. Why was the pale-faced scholar so dangerous? Because he liked to hunt and kill both official and unofficial young cultivators, killing an unknown number of them.
Based on the crime scenes, the authorities analyzed that this pale-faced scholar practiced some kind of evil art, which could refine the flesh and blood of young cultivators for his own use!
And this was how he improved his own cultivation!
The first time he was listed on the wanted list was three years ago. At that time, his cultivation was only at the Spirit Martial realm. However, in just two or three years, his cultivation had reached the Heaven Martial realm. This showed the speed of his cultivation. No, to be precise, it was not the speed of cultivation, but the speed of practicing the evil art!
For him to improve rapidly, he needed to refine increasingly powerful and extraordinary young cultivators.
If he were allowed to continue growing, more young cultivators would likely die tragic deaths. Because of his dangerous nature and his extraordinary ability to escape, his bounty and merit points for killing him were so high.
Yang Feilong knew that the Tang siblings did not believe he could kill the pale-faced scholar, and even felt that his words were absurd. He was too lazy to explain.
Looking at the pale-faced scholar with a mocking expression, Yang Feilong's hand flashed, and a long sword appeared in his hand. With a roar, he said, "Kill!"
The next moment, Yang Feilong's figure disappeared from his spot.
The pale-faced scholar had initially regarded Yang Feilong as a joke, but the moment Yang Feilong made a move, his smile vanished, and he became solemn. Such speed, he could barely catch the opponent's figure.
Boom!
The next moment, the pale-faced scholar used his fan as a sword and clashed with Yang Feilong's descending long sword.
Pfft!
The next moment, the pale-faced scholar spat out blood and flew backward, his face filled with disbelief.
"You..."
"This..." The Tang siblings were also completely stunned when they saw this. Yang Feilong had actually repelled the pale-faced scholar? Was this real? Even though they saw it with their own eyes, it still felt unreal.
It was like a student they expected to get seventy or eighty points suddenly scoring a perfect hundred.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The pale-faced scholar's face was filled with horror the next moment, because Yang Feilong's every sword strike was aimed at his life. His combat power was strong, but facing Yang Feilong, he was completely suppressed, unable to fight back even with all his might. In just three sword strikes, he was severely wounded!
"No!" The pale-faced scholar's eyes were filled with despair.
Who would have thought Yang Feilong was so strong? If he had known, he shouldn't have fought Yang Feilong in the first place, but should have desperately fled!
But now, even if he wanted to escape, he couldn't. Yang Feilong's moves were too fierce, and he had severely wounded him!
With his injuries, escaping would not be easy, and Yang Feilong's speed was not inferior to his!
"I'm not reconciled!" The pale-faced scholar ended his life in despair.
His head flew off!
Yang Feilong, fearing he might still have soul-seizing methods, activated his soul and divine sense and swept him with the Soul Annihilation Art. Ah, indeed, he was not completely dead. As he encountered more and more powerful cultivators, especially those who reached the ancient martial seventh level or above, Yang Feilong would always do this after killing them.
After all, the more powerful the existence, the stronger their soul. If they had also cultivated their soul, it would be very difficult to kill them by simply destroying their physical body!
"He just died like this? It was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables?" Tang Feng looked at Yang Feilong killing the pale-faced scholar with such ease, his eyes filled with a daze, a sense of unreality.
"The pale-faced scholar is dead?" Tang Ya looked at Yang Feilong. The genius cultivator who had fought her to a draw on the hero's arena stage, and now he had surpassed her by so much?
Although he had hidden his strength when fighting her, his true combat power was only at the mid or late Yuan Martial realm.
But in just a few months, she thought her own improvement was significant, but she never expected that Yang Feilong would also undergo earth-shattering changes. His powerful combat strength, comparable to a late Heaven Martial realm cultivator, could not withstand even a few of his sword strikes?
After killing the pale-faced scholar, Yang Feilong simply took his storage ring and his weapon. As for the treasures of the others, he did not collect them. Although there were definitely many treasures, he had not yet decided how to deal with them.
He would decide after saving the Tang siblings!
"Young Master Yang, thank you for avenging us siblings!" Tang Ya looked at Yang Feilong, her eyes filled with gratitude and a sigh. "It's a pity that we siblings have nothing to repay you with. If you send our bodies back to the Tang family, our father will reward you."
She could feel her life force draining away, and she didn't have much time left.
Tang Feng, who had begged for mercy earlier, felt that he still had a chance of being saved at the time, but now, he also felt that his life was coming to an end.
"My sister is right." Tang Feng's face was also filled with bitterness.
