Chapter 5: Blood on the Spear
Both Li Bingyin and Bai Bing were shocked by the terrifying pressure of the incoming attack.
Li Bingyin's expression turned ugly.
"It's a Two-Finger Spear Technique!"
Bai Bing's face darkened as well.
They hastily combined their defenses to block it.
The moment their attention shifted, I moved.
I launched forward, my fist smashing into Li Bingyin's face and sending him crashing into the ground. I spun around and kicked Bai Bing in the abdomen.
Boom!
He was sent flying as well.
The violent shockwaves spread outward, drawing the attention of nearby cultivators.
"Look! That's Wuxian!"
"Who is he fighting to cause such terrifying qi fluctuations?"
"He actually reached the qi pioneer realm!"
"That's Bai Clan and Li Clan's headmasters!"
Shock spread through the crowd.
A junior… suppressing two qi pioneers?
Li Bingyin and Bai Bing coughed up blood as they struggled to rise. Rage and humiliation burned in their eyes.
"Elders of the Li Clan, come assist me!"
"Elders of the Bai Clan, kill him!"
Ten elders from each clan, all at the Final Divine Flame realm, descended beside them.
I stared coldly at the shameless display.
So this is how far they'll go.
My killing intent surged as I charged forward. The star technique erupted from my palms, each strike far stronger than before.
Bai Bing suddenly roared,
"Take this, junior!"
A spear blazing with qi streaked toward me. I sensed the danger and instantly teleported—
Pierce!
Pain exploded through my body.
I looked down to see the spear embedded in my side.
Li Bingyin stood behind me, grinning viciously.
"Ha! Truly worthy of a genius. If Bai Bing hadn't distracted you, I wouldn't have gotten this chance."
I roared and released all my qi, forcing the two of them back.
"You're truly shameless," I spat.
They ignored my words and attacked again.
I gritted my teeth as I defended with the manual, my qi rapidly draining away.
At this point, I had no choice.
I gambled everything.
I poured the last of my qi into the manual.
A white light enveloped me.
Suddenly, enlightenment struck.
One-Finger Spear… the true essence of the Five-Finger Spear.
I stepped forward as if to attack head-on—
Then teleported behind Li Bingyin.
Boom!
He hastily wrapped himself in qi, but the spear pierced straight through him, tearing a path through the battlefield.
Silence fell.
Li Bingyin collapsed, lifeless.
Even I was shocked by the power.
But my body trembled—my qi was completely exhausted.
Bai Bing screamed in fury,
"Wuxian! Do you know what you've done?! You killed a Qi Pioneer of Binz Valley! I'll avenge him!"
He rushed toward me.
I sneered at his righteous hypocrisy.
Then—
"Whose technique was that?"
A thunderous voice echoed through the sky.
An overwhelming pressure crashed down on the battlefield, forcing me to my knees.
