Whoos.h.!.+

As the words left his mouth, Chi Ping flew off the flying beast, as he soared above Su Mo and the rest. “I have nothing against all of you, but since Miss Dandan wants you dead… I can only send you on your way. But before that, you had better tell me where Zhou Donghuang is… as long as you cooperate, I will allow you an easy death. Otherwise, I will slowly torture you until you die!” Towards the end, Chi Ping’s eyes revealed his s.a.d.i.s.tic intent.

Chi Ping floated in the air, his cloak rising behind him despite the still air. He was like an old deity, giving one a sense of uneasy oppression. Before Chi Ping had made a move, Lin Lan and the rest were already afraid of him. Now, with his inner Yuan surrounding him, this confirmed to Lin Lan and the rest that he was an early Primal Core adept!

Along the way from Yunyang country, Zhou Donghuang had explained about Primal Core adepts to Lin Lan and the rest. He had mentioned how to differentiate the inner Yuan of the different tiers of Primal Core adepts. Hence, Lin Lan and the rest could easily tell that Chi Ping was in the early Primal Core stage.

“Hmph!” Just as Chi Ping spoke, Lu Qinghu could not resist but snort with disdain, saying condescendingly, “A mere early Primal Core adept threatening to kill my young master… did you eat something to make you so daring that you’re unafraid of death?”

“Zhou Donghuang is your young master?” Hearing Lu Qinghu, Chi Ping’s eyes flashed as he shouted, “Speak! Where is Zhou Donghuang!”

Chen Dandan had told him that Zhou Donghuang was just a teenager. Among those present, there were no teenagers, so Chi Ping had not recognized Zhou Donghuang.

“Chen Dandan sent you to kill me, but you don’t recognize me?” Zhou Donghuang rose to the skies, level with Chi Ping. His face was calm, his gaze silent.

With that, Chi Ping’s expression changed entirely. This young man in white, who looked no more than twenty years old, was an early Primal Core adept just like him?

“Primal Core?” Tan Che, the chief of the Guiyuan Sect, was also surprised. He had never expected a Primal Core adept to exist in the Valley of Medicine Masters.

“You are Zhou Donghuang?” Chi Ping finally responded, thinking of what the young man in white had just said previously. His expression was one of utter disbelief, his heart filled with shock. “Didn’t Miss Dandan say that he was just in the early Connate stage? How did he become a Primal Core adept?” Chi Ping was stunned, absolutely stunned.

“Master.” Then, as Chi Ping and Tan Che watched on, Su Mo, the Head of the Valley of Medicine Masters, also rose to the skies behind Zhou Donghuang. He said respectfully, “Leave this man to me.”

“Mhm,” responded Zhou Donghuang calmly.

Su Mo had not yet attained the mid Primal Core stage, but his inner Yuan was so strong that it far exceeded any ordinary early Primal Core adept. Furthermore, he had been practicing the premier Thousand-Star Sword Technique. His inner Yuan was powerful enough to defeat any other early Primal Core adept. In the whole Ziyun planet, there was no other adept beneath the middle Primal Core stage who could match him.

“How is this possible?!” Tan Che, the chief of the Guiyuan Sect, had already been shocked by the Primal Core that Zhou Donghuang had displayed. Now, seeing Su Mo take to the skies, displaying his Primal Core, Tan Che was in utter denial. Were his eyes playing tricks on him? Could he be dreaming?

He understood Su Mo. Two years ago, he had even come to the Valley of Medicine Masters to challenge Su Mo. At that time, they had both been late Connate stage adepts. That round had ended in a draw after both of them were not able to defeat the other even after a prolonged battle, because their levels were too similar.

“It is real…” In a moment, after making sure that his eyes had not been playing tricks on him, nor was he in a dream, Tan Che was stunned. A late connate adept could become a Primal Core adept in just two short years? How did Su Mo achieve this?

“This Su Mo is also a Primal Core adept?” Chi Ping’s expression turned dark once again. Before he had left, Miss Dandan had clearly told him that Su Mo of the Valley of Medicine Masters was only a late Connate adept… but now, Su Mo had displayed that he was already in the Primal Core stage.

Whoos.h.!.+

Just as Chi Ping was stunned, Su Mo had already made his move. In a flash, he rushed towards Chi Ping.

…

The sounds of swords slas.h.i.+ng through the air rung around. As Su Mo moved, his inner Yuan crystallized into ten bolts of light. In addition to one lightning bolt that supported him from beneath and made him accelerate even faster, the other lightning bolts floated around his body, shooting towards Chi Ping alongside him.

Seeing this, Chi Ping did not take any chances. He drew his hands apart and pushed out, and his inner Yuan transformed into a palm.

“Inner Yuan is too diffuse,” Seeing this, Su Mo remarked condescendingly. “Is this all that a Primal Core adept from Xuanyin Sect can do?”

“You…” Just as Chi Ping expression changed after hearing Su Mo’s words, Su Mo had already reached the huge palm. With a quick motion of his hands, the lightning bolts flew out and destroyed the palm.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

…

At the same time, Su Mo arrived right in front of Chi Ping. Now, Chi Ping’s face was pale. He realized that his defense could not protect against his opponent at all. His opponent was clearly far stronger and more highly skilled than he was. They were not on the same level.

“Run!!” With the last bit of inner Yuan left in him, Chi Ping tried to escape.

“Too late,” said Su Mo flatly. With a quick motion, the lightning bolts around him fused into one, containing him within as one huge bolt of light. He sped towards Chi Ping even faster than before.

He easily chased up to Chi Ping. As Chi Ping realized his danger, his eyes widened as he cried, “Su Mo, I am a disciple of the Xuanyin Sect. If you dare kill me, the sect will not let you off, nor your Valley!”

His words landed on deaf ears. As the Head of the Valley of Medicine Masters, Su Mo was well aware that if he allowed him to leave today, he himself, his young master, and even the whole Valley would be put in even greater danger… once he killed Chi Ping, the Xuanyin Sect would take a while to respond, and by the time the Xuanyin Sect responded, his young master may even have progressed to a stage where they need not fear the sect.

Instantly, the bolt of lightning killed Chi Ping with a single stroke, as his face revealed his resignation.

After all, Chi Ping was just an early Primal Core adept from the Xuanyin Sect. He did not even have a s.p.a.ce ring. On his death, all he left behind was a stack of notes from the Xuanyin Empire under the Xuanyin Sect.

Witnessing Su Mo murder Chi Ping, Tan Che, the leader of the Guiyuan Sect, could not help but draw in a quick breath after he recovered from his shock. When he looked at Su Mo again, his eyes were fearful. He mustered his courage and put his hands together to congratulate Su Mo, “Head Su, congratulations on achieving the Primal Core stage!”

In the depths of Tan Che’s eyes, it was clear that he was jealous. In fact, he was already plotting that once he left the Valley, he would inform the Xuanyin Sect that Su Mo of the Valley of Medicine Masters had killed their disciple Chi Ping of the Xuanyin Sect.

“Hmph!” As the inner Yuan from the bolts of lightning entered his body, Su Mo glanced at Tan Che. He opened his mouth, and a bolt of white light came out, s.h.i.+mmering and blazing. Before Tan Che could react, the light had already killed him even before he could beg for mercy, his look of sheer fright plastered on his face.

“Master, this Guiyuan Sect Head, Tan Che was filled with jealousy, if he left like this, he would have definitely caused trouble for us.” After killing the flying beast beneath Tan Che, Su Mo then returned to Zhou Donghuang and explained. With almost twenty years of experience dealing with Tan Che, he was well aware of his character, so he had no intention to let Tan Che leave after he had killed Chi Ping.

“Mm.” Zhou Donghuang nodded calmly. From the start of the battle, he had just observed quietly.

“Madam, Miss.” At the same time, Su Mo turned to Lin Lan and Yun Lu. He said respectfully, “A year ago, I was just a late Connate adept… the only reason I could reach the Primal Core stage within a year was entirely because of Master’s help. I am saying this to tell you that… in the future, just take this Valley as your home without any worry. No matter what the issue is, as long as you look for me, I will do everything I can to help you!” declared Su Mo.

Hearing this, Lin Lan and the rest were all shocked. This Valley Head was just a late Connate adept a year ago but had reached the Primal Core stage in just a short year… and could even kill the other Primal Core adept from the Xuanyin Sect so easily. In that instant, all eyes turned to Zhou Donghuang.

“Just now, was that… the Thousand-Star Sword Technique?” Yun Lu had also practiced the same thing. When Su Mo had used it just now, Yun Lu had felt a sense of familiarity.

Now, hearing what Su Mo had said, she could easily guess that her brother had imparted the same technique to him.

“In the future, will I also be as strong?” Yun Lu’s large eyes were expectant.

At the same time, the eyes of Freezing wind, Lin Han and Lin Feng also lit up. They had all trained in the same technique.
