Chapter 601: Chapter 601: I Don’t Need to Know Your Background

Just one slash to kill Cheng Yuan?

Hu Yidao laughed, slowly drawing his Horse-Cutting Blade and pointing it askew at Lei Yunhai. "Why don’t you try taking one of my slashes before you run your mouth!"

BOOM!!

An astonishing wave of energy erupted from Hu Yidao!

A crushing pressure instantly enveloped Lei Yunhai, locking him firmly in place!

Lei Yunhai’s expression faltered. "Martial Emperor Late Stage? You’re actually an expert at the Martial Emperor Late Stage? I thought Dongshan didn’t even have a Martial King! Not only does your Hu Family have a Martial King, but you have a Martial Emperor! You people of the Hu Family certainly hide your strength well!"

Hu Yidao said coolly, "Scared now, are we? A pity. You killed my disciple. Even if you surrender now, I won’t spare you! I can, however, grant you a quick death!"

Lei Yunhai snorted. "Hu Yidao, your Cultivation is indeed surprising. However, your Hu Family’s Longevity Skill is just a common, Low-level Technique. Today, I’ll show you what a true First-class Technique, one that can overcome a higher cultivation level, looks like! Take this—Azure Dragon Slash!!"

CLANG!

Lei Yunhai drew the saber from his waist. In a flash, he was in front of Hu Yidao, bringing his blade down in a vicious slash!

Lei Yunhai’s blade was incredibly fast. It carried the faint cry of a dragon, and within the afterimage of the slash, one could vaguely see an azure dragon, baring its fangs and claws!

The faces of the Hu Family members paled!

None of them had ever seen such a terrifying Saber Technique.

’The Patriarch isn’t going to lose, is he?’

Under the worried gazes of the Hu Family, Hu Yidao executed a slash with casual indifference.

His slash lacked all the momentum of Lei Yunhai’s Azure Dragon Slash. It didn’t even create a sonic boom as it cut through the air; it looked utterly feeble.

CLANG!

The two arcs of blade light collided!

A disdainful smile crept across Lei Yunhai’s face. "Hu Yidao, are you a little girl? Can’t you put some muscle into it? Just you wait and die..."

He choked on his words halfway through.

The seemingly feeble Blade Qi had instantly sliced his azure dragon phantom in two!

Before Lei Yunhai could even react, the weak-looking Blade Qi struck his shoulder!

SCHLICK!

Lei Yunhai felt a sudden coldness on his shoulder as something slid away!

He instinctively turned his head and saw his own right arm, severed cleanly at the shoulder!

The wound was as smooth as glass!

Lei Yunhai was completely stunned.

’How could this be?’

’My Azure Dragon Slash is a First-class Technique, but the Longevity Skill is just one of the Lower Three Levels of Skills!’

’How could I have lost so miserably?’

"Hu Yidao! That’s no third-rate technique! What Saber Technique was that?"

"A dead man has no right to know its name!"

The members of the Hu Family watched the scene unfold, their faces etched with shock.

’He’s incredible!’

’The Patriarch is just too incredible!’

’The fearsome enemy who drove them to despair... had his arm severed in a single blow!’

Many of the disciples couldn’t help but roar in approval.

"The Patriarch is mighty! That slash was amazing!"

"The Patriarch’s power is divine! The Hu Family is not to be trifled with!"

"Patriarch, kill him! Avenge our Eldest Brother!!"

...

CLANG. Lei Yunhai’s long saber dropped to the ground.

A full second passed.

Only then did blood gush from the wound.

An indescribable pain wracked Lei Yunhai. He clutched his shoulder and let out a bloodcurdling scream.

"AHH! My arm! Hu Yidao! You dare cut off my arm! You’re a dead man!"

Hu Yidao flicked the Blood Pearls from his blade, raised it, and pointed it at Lei Yunhai. "Is that it? You can’t even take a single move from me? And you thought you could kill Xiaoyuan? Go on. How do you want to die?"

Fear crept into Lei Yunhai’s voice as he yelled, "Hu Yidao, I’d advise you not to be reckless! Do you even know who I am?"

"I don’t give a damn who you are! All I know is you killed my disciple and several of my guards! Now die!"

In a flash, Hu Yidao was in front of Lei Yunhai, viciously plunging his blade into the man’s stomach!

Hu Yidao moved so fast that Lei Yunhai had no time to react. He could only watch as the sharp blade sank into his gut.

Lei Yunhai stared at Hu Yidao in disbelief. "Hu Yidao, I bet you don’t have the guts to kill me! My master is the Cangnan Daoist! If you kill me, he will annihilate every last member of your Hu Family!"

"I hate being threatened more than anything! You lose! DIE!"

With a furious roar, Hu Yidao viciously twisted the hilt of his blade!

The Horse-Cutting Blade spun wildly, instantly shredding Lei Yunhai’s internal organs!

Lei Yunhai’s pupils constricted as his consciousness rapidly faded.

With a sickening squelch, Hu Yidao withdrew his Horse-Cutting Blade. Lei Yunhai collapsed like a wooden post, his life extinguished forever.

Still radiating a murderous aura, Hu Yidao turned to the disciples of the Hu Family. They all stared back at their Patriarch with fervent eyes and roared as one.

"The Patriarch is invincible!"

"A righteous kill, Patriarch!"

...

Hu Yidao pressed his hands down slightly, and the crowd fell silent, their gazes fixed upon him.

Hu Yidao pointed a hand at Lei Yunhai’s body and commanded coolly, "Get rid of it."

"Yes, sir!"

Several guards rushed forward and dragged Lei Yunhai away as if he were a dead dog.

With the eyesore gone, Hu Yidao’s voice deepened. "Our Hu Family has suffered grievous losses recently! I don’t want to see anyone else from the family die! All direct descendants of the Hu Family, listen to me! Starting today, your daily training will be extended by one hour! I will personally teach you a new Saber Technique! The very same one I just used to slay Lei Yunhai!"

"Long live!"

"Long live the Patriarch!"

...

It was a full two minutes before the disciples’ cheers finally died down.

Hu Yidao’s voice was grave. "All of you, dismiss. When you get back, take an Essence Enhancing Pill appropriate for your condition. You have one night to adjust and get your bodies into peak form! Starting tomorrow, the direct descendants of the Hu Family will begin demonic training!"

"Yes, sir!"

After the disciples had gone, Hu Yidao’s expression grew solemn.

’Who exactly was this Lei Yunhai?’

’And who is this Cangnan Daoist?’

Hu Yidao felt he had to warn Cheng Yuan that someone was targeting him.

’Alright, he was mostly just a little rattled and wanted to find some sense of security from Cheng Yuan.’

Hu Yidao took out his phone and dialed Cheng Yuan’s number. The call connected quickly, and Cheng Yuan’s cheerful voice came through. "Uncle Hu, what can I do for you?"

Hu Yidao gave a wry laugh. "Xiaoyuan, are you teasing me? How could I dare give *you* instructions? Listen, do you have an enemy by the name of Lei Yunhai? Do you know who he is?"

’Lei Yunhai?’

’The name sounded vaguely familiar, like I’ve heard it somewhere before.’

’Oh, right!’

’The vice president of the bank is named Lei Yunping. It’s so similar to Lei Yunhai... they must be related, right?’

"The name rings a bell. What about him?"

"Lei Yunhai broke into the Hu Family estate, killed several of our disciples, and tried to force us to hand you over."

Cheng Yuan’s expression darkened. "That arrogant? Where is he now?"

"I already killed him."

A strange look crossed Cheng Yuan’s face. "Uncle Hu, if you already killed him, why are you calling me?"
