This Young Master is not Cannon Fodder

Tianyi looked below at the collapsed mountain as he rubbed his face. He saw the countless injured bodies and corpses below him, and he couldn't help but feel awkward. Strictly speaking, he did not have a deep hatred for the Bliss Earth Sect. He had already killed the two protectors that offended him.

Not that the Bliss Earth Sect needed to know that.

His hands formed several hand seals as he recalled a technique inscribed upon the stone stele, Temporal Reversal Art. It was a technique that allowed one to heal from their wounds by reversing time, but it was only suitable for those weaker than the user and those who hadn't ascended to the Immortal Realm.

Normally, it would have been to reverse time for so many people, but Tianyi had absorbed the artificial River of Time into his pendant. Under his control, silver strands emerged from his pendant and attached themselves to all the members of the Bless Earth Sect, and their injuries healed at a visible rate.

After Tianyi healed all the disciples, the soul nourishing grandmaster burst out of the rumble and headed straight for Tianyi.

"Give this old man your life!"

Tianyi felt his lips twitch. It just so happened that he attacked after Tianyi healed them all. Was there such a coincidence in the world?

Just as the old grandmaster reached Tianyi, Tianyi chopped down. Tianyi's hand flattened, and he sliced down. His hand became like Pangu's ax, separating the chaos into heaven and earth.

The soul nourishing grandmaster felt as if his body was splitting into by itself without any external influence. Gritting his teeth, he crossed both of his arms in front of him, having no time for any other action and his attack long forgotten.

Then he felt pain, indescribable pain.

Tianyi's hand sheared through the grandmaster's arms like a hot knife through butter. After severing both arms, Tianyi's hands clenched into a fist and hammered the grandmaster's defenseless chest. The soul nourishing grandmaster was sent careening into the ground with a strangled cry and created a new hole. His arms, now stumps, weren't bleeding, but that was more because of Tianyi instead of the unconscious grandmaster.

Tianyi glanced around the collapsed mountain. None of the Bliss Earth Sect members dared to meet his eyes.

"I had expected the Roving Dragon to be here, but it seems that he did not think it was worth his time to come here." Tianyi calmly said. "Since that is the case, then I will leave first.

As he said he would, Tianyi controlled the flying sword he was on to soar into the distance. The remaining Bliss Earth Sects looked at one another.

Have them stop that calamitous star? Wasn't that just asking them to die?

Even if all of them banded together, they did not have the confidence to take down Tianyi. Especially the ten acupoint opening masters. Some of them recognized the now tragic figure of the soul nourishing elder dispatched by Tianyi in one strike. Who would dare go against someone who could crush a mythical grandmaster-level expert in one strike?

The members of the Bliss Earth Sect all could only watch with complicated gazes as Tianyi disappeared into the distance.

Bai Tiezi roared as he thrust his spear forward. The spear was like a flood dragon leaving the water, unstoppable.

The Bliss Earth Sect member in front of Bai Tiezi could not deflect the attack in time, and a spear pierced through his body. Not just him, but Bai Tiezi continued his thrust, and his spear pierced through two more people.

Bai Tiezi swung the spear and disposed of the three corpses.

Such was the scene that Tianyi had arrived upon. When he left Bai Tiezi, he had secretly left a tracking mark on Bai Tiezi. Never did he expect he would meet Bai Tiezi so soon.

With his eyes and viewpoint, he could see that this road was en route to the Bliss Earth Sect. Just a few more days, and the procession would reach their destination. Tianyi even spotted the girl that Bai Tiezi pined after.

She, along with tens of other girls, was gathered in one carriage, guarded by over ten body transformation acolytes. Tianyi understood the reason why Bai Tiezi chose this moment to attack. If he did not attack now, then he would never have the chance to if the procession reached the Bliss Earth Sect.

Although the chance of rescuing his beloved here was slim, the chance was not zero as he had reached the Spiritual Pillar Foundation Establishment Realm. Coupled with the Unwavering Dragon Spear Art Tianyi taught him, his strength surpassed most members of the Bliss Earth Sect.

Tianyi was content to watch the show, and as he had expected. The more perilous situation Bai Tiezi was in, the greater his strength. His combat techniques continued to be polished with each clash.

The members of the Bliss Earth Sect were the perfect whetstone for Bai Tiezi to digest everything he had learned from Tianyi. If Bai Tiezi learned at a turtle's pace with Tianyi, then right now, he was learning as fast as a running rabbit, making Tianyi question his teaching ability.

Tianyi shrugged. It was only his first time teaching someone like this. He was brought out of his musings when a snort reverberated through the sky. The members of the Bliss Earth Sect showed joy upon their faces as they craned their necks to look at the black-robed figure standing in the sky.

The black-robed figure did not look at the figures on the ground and instead looked at the area in the air where Tianyi was. "Show yourself."

The voice was majestic and had the tone of an overlord that ruled over all.

Tianyi's pupils shrunk when he saw the black-robed standing in the air.
When a cultivator reached the Nascent Soul or Soul Nourishing Realm, they gained the ability to solidify air under their feet into a solid platform and no longer needed an artifact to travel through the air.

Step by step, like he was descending a flight of stairs, Tianyi slowly walked off his flying sword towards the Bliss Earth Sect Master, Roving Dragon. With each step, the majestic tribulation aura within him was released, and he was like a heavenly monarch descending into the mortal realm.

Roving Dragon had a sneer on his face, but Tianyi's eyes were just ice cold. His gaze flickered towards the girls at the ground before looking at Roving Dragon again. "Just parlor tricks. Do you think just because you could step on air, I would be afraid of you?"

"Those girls wouldn't happen to have Water Spiritual Veins, would they?"
Roving Dragon's pupils shrunk as he heard Tianyi's words, but he gave no other indication otherwise.

"I did not expect the infamous figure to cause the collapse of the Inheritance site to be so young and at such a realm. But this is my Bliss Earth Sect's territory, not someplace you can cause a ruckus as you like," Roving Dragon said.

Roving Dragon's face was that of a handsome man in his mid-twenties. He didn't have the air of steadiness a hundred-year-old cultivator should have. Instead, he was filled with the hot-blooded passion of youth.

Tianyi looked at the familiar face that was across from him and said nothing as images of the tragic fate of Daoyi flashed through his mind.

"You must also be the one who killed the two protectors. Aside from you, there is no one else able to kill them in such a short time." Roving Dragon took Tianyi's silence as admission as he revealed the hidden intent that had been hiding in his eyes. His fist shot out like a cannonball towards Tianyi.

Tianyi wasn't one to back down either, and he also unleashed a punch. This was a fist art from the Dragon Emperor Fist. Its movement mirrored that of Roving Dragon's punch.

When the two first clashed, shockwaves erupted from the impact, and Tianyi was sent back several tens of steps. Roving Dragon was only slightly better as he was forced back ten steps. His right hand tingled, and he felt as if he had punched a steel cube.

An unprecedented solemnity appeared on his face. Ever since he had entered the Soul Nourishing Realm forty years ago, there had been no one who could contend with him. And now appeared a kid, who was of a lower realm than him, could contend with his fist head-on.

Roving Dragon guessed that it was the work of the inheritance in the inheritance site. In his eyes, although Tianyi could defeat master-level experts, he was still lacking in many areas against a true grandmaster like himself.

The Bliss Earth Sect Master took out two black gloves with white plates and wore them on his hand. They were his Dragon Scale Gloves, a soul nourishing ranked artifact that he had forged using his own blood and bones.

Despite being forced back even more than Roving Dragon, Tianyi's hand didn't tingle at all, and only at the moment of impact did his skin ripple. The force from the attack had traveled inside his body and was dispersed by the true qi of chaos and the large space within.

Although Tianyi would not lose, he could not defeat Roving Dragon with his fists alone. So he reached out and grabbed the flying sword, instantly an invisible sphere appeared with Tianyi at the center. It resembled the void, but it was filled with countless stars, and there were even hints of celestial objects.

Tianyi ran towards Roving Dragon and unleashed a slash that Roving Dragon blocked with the back of his gloves, sparks cascading off from the impact. Tianyi's attacks were swift and fierce, attacking five times in an instant, but Roving Dragon blocked them all with ease.

Just as Tianyi backed up, Roving Dragon was about to rush forward to change the tempo of the battle, but his instincts screamed at him. Roving Dragon immediately dodged to the side as Tianyi thrust his sword forward for a piercing strike.

"Kill (杀)"

It was only a single word. But with that word, Tianyi's sword strike was filled with a murderous aura as if it would exterminate all life that it touched.

Roving Dragon had a cold sweat run down his forehead as he narrowly dodged that attack. He could feel his body stiffen and slow down within this special area of Tiany. He was a martial cultivator, so he could only resist against the compressive aura to engage with close combat against Tianyi.

Tianyi immediately turned to attack Roving Dragon again. This time Roving Dragon was prepared, and in the eleven sword strikes that Tianyi unleashed, none gave the same feeling of death. But on the twelfth stroke, the same ominous feeling appeared again, and Roving Dragon suddenly jumped to the side to avoid Tianyi's two-handed slash.

"Slaughter (屠)"

An aura of slaughter had covered the blade after Tianyi said that one word. Roving Dragon finally found a pattern to Tianyi's attack, but this just made him even more vigilant.

Earlier, Tianyi's kill strike was unleashed on the sixth strike, and the character for "kill" needed six strokes to complete, corresponding to the number of strikes Tianyi unleashed. The slaughter strike was the same.
The limit to Tianyi's move was only suppressed by his own imagination and the number of characters in the world.

A golden aura began to cover Roving Dragon's body, and faint dragon roars rang. It covered him like golden armor, and he became a human-size dragon temporarily. Tianyi frowned as he could feel suppression on Roving Dragon from his Sword Formation as the World weaken.

Tianyi still chose to engage with Roving Dragon, and only after suffering numerous light scratches was Tianyi able to unleash his final strike for another character.

"Cage (笼)"

Roving Dragon paused as if something had encased his body, but he broke through a moment later and continued his attack, even though he was confused why Tianyi's tenth strike didn't have any attacking power. Whatever the purpose, for Roving Dragon, it was not a good thing. He could discern that Tianyi's qi reserve wasn't dropping, which created a sense of urgency within him.

His golden dragon armor expended a large amount of his qi constantly. It was a flawed and incomplete technique. If he ran out of qi, Tianyi could likely kill him.

Tianyi reengaged Roving Dragon, and after his fifth strike, he said, "Dragon (笼)"

Upon hearing that word, Roving Dragon's instinct screamed at him. His attacks became even fiercer, and he even ignored some of Tianyi's sword strikes just to land a blow on Tianyi. After Tianyi's fourth strike, a sense of annihilation Roving Dragon never felt before came upon him.

He decisively disengaged from Tianyi and attempted to leave the domain formed by Tianyi's usage of the Heartless Sword Arts. But upon coming into contact with the edge, he felt an invisible cage blocking his way. He roared furiously and punched the cage. Before he could unleash his second punch, Tianyi was already behind. He grasped his sword with two hands as it emitted a murderous red light and slashed downward.

"Extermination (灭)"

Roving Dragon gave a bestial roar as a red aura appeared on his body, and he unleashed two of the most powerful punches in his life, side by side, but Tianyi's sword sliced through his fist qi as if it was nonexistent and cleaved his body in half.

Dragon Extermination was extremely lethal to a person who cultivated to make themselves a human-shaped dragon. It was even more so for Roving Dragon, who had on his golden dragon armor, a technique that brought out the dragon blood within.

The overlord of Tianwei Continent died just like that.
