The Abandoned Young Master of a Wealthy Cultivation Family

Chapter 45: Kill with one move!

Qi Lianshan's face looked extremely ugly as he stared at Su Bai. Although he was very afraid in his heart, he was unwilling to give up the so-called "Lightning Wood".

"Who are you? Why are you stealing my things?" He took a deep breath and snorted coldly, "I am from the Baiyun Monastery in Langya Mountain, Linzhou, and Qilian Mountain. I followed you all the way from Linzhou to Jiangzhou just for this Lightning Wood. You can't take it away just by saying a word. You really don't take me seriously!"

As soon as he said this, the expressions of everyone in the hall who had heard of his name suddenly changed.

Everyone who came to this immortal exchange meeting had some understanding of the secrets of the world. Although the vast majority of people could not reach that level, there were some well-informed people who began to explain the origins of Baiyun Temple to those who did not understand the situation.

The Baiyun Temple on Langya Mountain is a true Taoist temple hidden in the back mountains. The temple on the front mountain is merely a tourist attraction! Many people mistake it for an ordinary Taoist temple, but little do they know that Baiyun Temple boasts a long and rich history, a hidden sect with real power, comparable to Longhu Mountain and Maoshan. While its strength cannot be compared to that of the Longhu Mountain sects, its power should not be underestimated. It's said that the old abbot is nearly 90 years old and is a true immortal!

Su Bai's expression remained unchanged after hearing this. Even if there were Grandmasters in Baiyun Temple, what would it matter? This lightning-struck wood was extremely important to him. Even if a Grandmaster appeared today, he would still be determined to obtain it!

Knowing Qilian Mountain's background, everyone looked at Su Bai with surprise and doubt in their eyes. Who on earth was this kid? How dare he provoke such a hermit? Didn't he see that Qilian Mountain's flames swallowed up the young man's lightning?

With his small body, I’m afraid he can’t even withstand one attack?

Su Qingyao looked anxious and wanted to speak out to dissuade him, but she saw Tang Qiubai smiling and said, "Miss Tang, don't worry. You may not know Mr. Su's magical powers. Although Qilian Mountain is powerful, it is far from being Mr. Su's opponent!"

Su Qingyao frowned and said, "But, that Baiyun Temple---"

Tang Qiubai frowned upon hearing this, took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, Miss Su! No matter how powerful Baiyun Temple is, it's impossible for them to reach Jiangzhou! Moreover, with Mr. Su's magical powers, he may not be afraid of Baiyun Temple!"

He knew that Su Bai was a young master, and the old abbot of Baiyun Temple was at most a master, and since he was old and weak, it was not certain whether he could be Su Bai's opponent!

With Tang Qiubai's consolation, Su Qingyao stopped talking and just looked at Su Bai nervously.

Su Bai ignored Qi Lianshan's threat and turned to pass a stream of true energy to the young man beneath him. The young man's face became visibly rosy. Feeling that his injuries were improving, the young man looked excited and bowed to Su Bai, "Thank you for saving me, senior!"

Senior? Su Bai chuckled and took out a small Peiyuan Pill from his arms. He said, "This pill is called the Small Peiyuan Pill. It can strengthen the body, repair hidden injuries, and improve cultivation. I'd like to exchange it for the half of the lightning-struck wood in your hand. Are you willing?"

The young man gritted his teeth and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I am willing. However, I have one condition!"

"Oh?" Su Bai said with a smile, "Tell me about it!"

The young man gnashed his teeth as he stared at Qilian Mountain and said, "I want him dead!"

His eyes were filled with deep hatred. "When Qiao'er and I stumbled upon this piece of wood, we knew it was a truly extraordinary item. We wanted to go to Baiyun Temple to exchange it for some elixirs, but this old ghost Qi secretly intercepted us and murdered Qiao'er. I fled all the way to Jiangzhou intending to sell this wood at this exchange meeting, but I didn't expect to be found by this old ghost again!"

Hearing this, Su Bai immediately understood what had happened.

This is probably a melodramatic story. This young man and Na Qiao'er should be considered "casual cultivators". They accidentally obtained a rare treasure and wanted to sell it to Baiyun Temple, but it was intercepted by a low-level disciple. Not only did his girlfriend die, but he was also hunted to Jiangzhou.

After hearing this, Su Bai's emotions remained unchanged. This young man's experience happened countless times every day in the world of cultivation, and he was already used to it.

Su Bai said without thinking, "I promise you." He looked as if he was agreeing to something insignificant.

The young man was stunned, but he had no other choice. He could only trust Su Bai. If Su Bai lost, he would definitely be secretly eliminated by Qilianshan.

Hearing the young man's words, Qi Lianshan's face suddenly darkened to the extreme, and he shouted, "You little brat, how dare you slander me? I'll kill you!"

His robes whistled, his palms were directly wrapped in flames, and he slapped the young man's crown with one palm!

He regretted not killing the young man at the first opportunity. Although he cared about these mundane things, his image would definitely be ruined. If this matter were to spread to Baiyun Temple, his heart would tremble, and his anger would become even stronger. He even looked at Su Bai with murderous intent.

"It's all your fault, kid! You too, die!" As he slapped the young man's crown with his left hand, the flame in his right hand transformed into a ferocious tiger head, and suddenly swallowed towards Su Bai!

Seeing this, the faces of the onlookers changed drastically, and they looked at Su Bai and the others with pity in their eyes.

It's ridiculous. This guy just promised to kill Qi Lianshan, and in the blink of an eye, he's about to be killed! Seeing Su Bai's misfortune, Chen Guang and the previous Vice President Wang of the Jiangzhou Taoist Association were all gloating on their faces.

The next second, the scene everyone expected did not appear.

Su Bai was standing there expressionlessly, but a light blue transparent shield appeared above his head, covering him and the dazed young man. No matter how the Qilian Mountain flames attacked, it was difficult to be effective.

Qi Lianshan's face flashed with surprise, and then he grinned grimly, "So you're also a Taoist practitioner? No wonder you're so arrogant! Humph, I want to see how long you can hold out!"

Before he finished speaking, he shouted loudly, and the flame in his hand suddenly expanded as if blown by a blower. The surrounding carpets, wooden shelves, and exhibits were instantly burned and turned into ashes!

"what---"

The crowds watching from afar were so frightened that they quickly retreated, and some of the timid ones had already fled the hall.

Qi Lianshan laughed wildly and said, "You guys deserved to die under my red flames! Haha---"

When Su Bai saw this, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "A mere ordinary flame dares to call it true fire?"

He narrowed his eyes, expanded his chest slightly, and then suddenly blew out a breath!

"call---"

Like a roaring tornado, the red flames encountered the gas blown out by Su Bai, and instantly became like a lamb encountering a tiger, with no power to resist. They disappeared in the blink of an eye, along with the surrounding porcelain, sofas, and wooden frames, all of which were blown into pieces by this breath, leaving a mess all over the ground!

The people watching from afar were stunned when they saw this.

Just a breath, how could it be so terrifying?

"This---how is this possible?" Qi Lianshan was blown into a mess by the strong energy. He barely managed to steady himself and looked at Su Bai with disbelief in his eyes. He gritted his teeth, bit his tongue, took out a short wooden sword, and sprayed a mouthful of blood on it. The small sword suddenly made a buzzing sound and the red light increased.

Qi Lianshan looked like a madman, staring at Su Bai intently, and laughed hoarsely, "Today I will let you witness the sword-controlling skills of my Baiyun Temple. Go to hell!"

Before he finished speaking, the red light of the small sword suddenly surged, leaving a dark red tail in the air, and instantly approached Su Bai's heart.

"How dare you call such a small trick the sword-controlling technique?" Su Bai sneered. His aura suddenly surged. His eyes were cold and he raised one hand. A lustrous green light flowed around him, making him look like an immortal from the Ninth Heaven. He said calmly, "Nine Fighting Styles, the second style, Open Heaven!"

As his voice rang out, his palm suddenly slashed down like a knife!

boom!

The air roared, and a green blade light about ten feet long cut through the space, directly cutting the red sword into two pieces, and then leaving a deep scratch on the ground, and descended on the terrified Qilian Mountain.

At this moment, Qi Lianshan's face was filled with horror. His body was trembling as he pulled out a jade talisman from his arms with great difficulty and shouted in fear, "Master, save me---"

Unfortunately, before he could finish saying the word "I", his body was cut in half like tofu!

Looking at Su Bai again, he was still calm and composed, not even his clothes were messed up. He looked like nothing had happened. He turned around and threw the small Peiyuan Pill to the dazed young man and said:

"I have fulfilled your conditions. Now can you give me the lightning wood?"
