Chapter 4: Debt Collection Begins

"Yes, I was there the night Beifeng was killed!" Even now, when Qin Zhen recalls that night, he still finds it inconceivable. As the master of Nanshi, Beifeng had reached the peak of the Martial Dao, a true grandmaster of his generation. Furthermore, he possessed extraordinary perception; he could neutralize any danger he faced. That such a man could die was something Qin Zhen could not bring himself to believe, yet it had become an undeniable fact.

"In that case, Senior, would you be willing to help me investigate this case? I think this is the only thing you can do as Beifeng's close friend. As for me, I must help my eldest brother, Luo Mingyu, clear his name." Liang Xi's eyes were filled with unwavering determination; no matter what obstacles lay ahead, he would see this through.

"If it were the old me, helping you would be no problem at all. Unfortunately, I have long since been expelled from the family. Even if I wanted to help, it would be impossible. I came today just to see you, and now, I can finally rest easy. What I could not accomplish back then, you will certainly be able to do!" Qin Zhen's expression dimmed significantly.

Liang Xi became curious. What did investigating the case have to do with his family? Seeming to sense Liang Xi's confusion, Qin Zhen continued: "Actually, Beifeng and I were brothers born of the same mother. Our Qin clan is the most powerful family within a hundred miles of Nanshi. Unfortunately, Brother Beifeng was different from others since childhood. What others dared not do, he dared. Combined with his extremely arrogant nature, he naturally made countless enemies. Usually, these people maintained a veneer of peace, but once you fell into trouble, everyone was eager to trample you into the dirt."

"Since there is nothing to do for now, I might as well tell you. Brother Beifeng later fell in love with a woman named Lei. I have seen her; she was so beautiful that no man could resist her smile. After Brother Beifeng met her, he became deeply enamored. The weather that day was just like today—a bright, sunny day."

"He brought Lei back to the Qin clan, hoping the family would bless their union. However, when everyone saw Lei’s face, they were absolutely stunned. This face, perfect to the extreme, was identical to that of the legendary Demon Empress Ling Su. Ling Su was a sworn enemy of the Qin clan, and according to family rules, any woman could marry into the family, except for the descendants of Ling Su!"

"Such a rule was unacceptable to Brother Beifeng. I remember it clearly: that day, on that vast plaza, everyone was accusing Beifeng of being a disgrace to the family, saying that for the sake of a woman, he was willing to abandon everything the family stood for!"

"Beifeng held Lei’s hand tightly, looked around, and sneered, 'I know you all wish me dead. Very well, let me die. But this woman, Lei—I will never let her go. For her, I can give up everything, even being expelled from the family!'"

Qin Zhen exhaled slowly, his eyes looking into the distance. "At that time, I was still young and didn't understand what leaving the family voluntarily truly meant. Later, I realized that to truly leave the Qin clan, one had to survive the Poison Dragon Cave. Do you know what the Poison Dragon Cave is?"

Liang Xi shook his head; he had never heard of such a place.

"Hmph, the Poison Dragon Cave is filled with venomous snakes. To this day, no one has ever made it through alive. The members of the Qin clan don't even have the courage to approach it. But that day, Brother Beifeng was smiling. He held Lei’s soft, boneless hand and went to the Poison Dragon Cave. They promised that once this was over, they would find a place to live in seclusion, and the affairs of the outside world would no longer have anything to do with them."

Qin Zhen’s tone grew increasingly heavy, and his face showed signs of grief, as if what followed was beyond anyone’s expectations. Liang Xi prompted, "Senior, why did you stop? Did Brother Beifeng not make it through the Poison Dragon Cave?"

Qin Zhen took a puff of his dry tobacco pipe and shook his head. "No, he made it through. But when he crawled out of the cave covered in wounds, he was greeted by Lei’s corpse. It turned out the family had planned it all along: while Beifeng was in the cave, they decided to take advantage of the situation and kill Lei to break Beifeng’s attachment!"

"They had even considered: what is the Poison Dragon Cave? In all these years, no one had ever crossed it. Could this kid really make history?"

"Yes, when everyone saw the blood-soaked Beifeng, their hearts were filled with terror. No one knew what this arrogant man might do. But Beifeng did nothing. He was calm. He held his beloved woman and left. However, I knew his heart must have been filled with extreme rage. From then on, he was completely disillusioned with the Qin clan. Even if he fought, what would it matter? Lei was already gone."

"Before he left, however, Beifeng said, 'I will not kill you today because someone will surely finish the job for me later. What you owe me, I will make you pay back a hundredfold!' This vow hit everyone like a heavy blow. The family head at the time was our father. He was desperately trying to maintain the family’s prestige and naturally would not allow such a thing to happen, so he ordered all the disciples to surround Beifeng. But all the disciples were stunned by the killing intent erupting from Beifeng at that moment; no one dared to step forward to attack!"

"We watched as the man and woman left. That day, for the Qin clan, was truly filled with shame! I didn't know then who the person Beifeng spoke of would be, but at that moment, I suddenly understood him. I was disappointed in my grandfather. I wanted to leave the family, so on a dark night, I followed Beifeng’s example, crossed the Poison Dragon Cave alone, and left the Qin clan forever."

"Beifeng is dead. Tell me, aren't the people of the Qin clan happy now? To prevent others from investigating this case, they must have set up many obstacles. To catch the bandits, one must first catch the leader. Only by dealing with the Qin clan first will the investigation become easier. Kid, do you understand now? I have no fighting spirit left; I am like a cripple. Even so, are you still willing to have me help you?"

Liang Xi understood everything now. It turned out that as long as the Qin clan was dealt with, all problems would be solved. This was much simpler now. "Of course I need you. Senior, rest assured. A mere Qin clan—let's go right now! Today, we settle old scores and new ones together! Don't worry, I am here. Senior, do whatever you like. I guarantee that these Qin clan people won't dare to utter a word of nonsense!" Since Liang Xi dared to say this, he naturally had absolute confidence.

...

Qin Clan, Zhengqi Hall.

"Big Brother, have you heard? Beifeng is dead!" the Second Master of the Qin clan said to the family head, who was already over seventy years old.

The Qin Clan Head, whether in his youth or now, had always been incredibly imposing. Although to outsiders the Qin clan had long become a hollow shell, this old man still maintained a laughable sense of dignity.

"Of course I've heard. Good riddance. If not for that Beifeng, the Qin clan would still be the old Qin clan and wouldn't have become what it is today. I heard Qin Zhen wants to investigate the cause of Beifeng’s death? Hmph, ridiculous. Both traitors deserve to die. Pass my order: all Qin clan disciples are to kill Qin Zhen on sight. Our Qin clan must not have any stains!"

"Don't worry, Big Brother. I've already given the orders. Honestly, I'm not worried about what tricks Qin Zhen can pull. Recently, I keep thinking of the words Beifeng said when he left. He said someone would eventually avenge him. Do you think that person could be Qin Zhen?"

The Qin Clan Head sneered on his withered face. "Qin Zhen? Second Brother, why are you becoming more timid as you age? We know exactly how much weight that kid has. It definitely won't be him. He has always cherished his life; he wouldn't sacrifice himself for others. Still, your concern is reasonable. For the next period, we must be strictly on guard. Do not let any stranger near the Qin clan. If they do, kill them!"

The Clan Head made a throat-slitting gesture. Despite his old age, his heart remained as wicked as ever.

...

Inside the Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant, the place was packed.

"Have you heard? The Qin clan is going to hold a family tournament again to recruit talented people. Hmph, is the aging Qin clan finally willing to let go of its former dignity? If they had done this earlier, how could a once-great sect have become like this?"

"Indeed. But although the Qin clan isn't what it used to be, its foundation remains. Tell me, if we brothers become disciples of the Qin clan, how prestigious would that be?" Another patron began to fantasize, his expression appearing ethereal as if he were already a disciple. The once harsh-tasting cheap liquor now seemed mellow and exquisite.

"Exactly. Everyone has a chance now. Come, brother, drink this, and let's head out. The sooner we arrive at the Qin clan, the better our chances."

Qin Zhen’s expression was somewhat lost. Had the Qin clan really fallen to this point? They actually had to rely on outsiders to regain their prestige. Even though he had left the family for so many years, for him to truly forget the Qin clan in such a short time was impossible. He couldn't help but sigh.

The former Qin clan had thousands of disciples—how prestigious that was! Today, a once-great sect had become like an old beggar on the street; anyone who had dealings with them would find it hard to accept.

"Senior, it seems everyone here is going to the Qin clan. We can just blend in. Since you and I are disguised, no one will recognize us unless they look closely!"

"No. This time, we don't need to be sneaky. We will show our true faces. It turns out that the person Brother Beifeng spoke of back then was indeed me!"

"Qin Zhen? Isn't that Qin Zhen? Why is he here? Does this man want to return to the Qin clan?" A patron recognized Qin Zhen. He was excited because he had finally seen the idol he had admired for many years.

Everyone knew the name Qin Zhen. For the sake of brotherly loyalty, he had dared to cross the Poison Dragon Cave alone. Such courage was worthy of respect.

"Returning to the Qin clan? I'm afraid it's not to become a disciple, but to avenge his old brother! Everyone, with Qin Zhen leading us, what can't we achieve?"

Once these words were out, everyone was in an uproar. Who didn't know that Beifeng and Qin Zhen were the twin heroes of the Qin clan? Unfortunately, the Qin clan sought its own destruction. One died, one was expelled. Now, Beifeng was dead, but Qin Zhen was still alive. How had the Qin clan treated Qin Zhen back then? "Brother Qin, we know your story. Don't worry, today we brothers will storm the Qin clan and let you vent your anger. You've had a hard life these years. Everyone, do you agree?"

"Yes!"

The Anti-Qin Alliance was formed on the spot! There were hundreds of people, each a master in their own right—more than enough to deal with the small fry.

Qin Zhen smiled bitterly. It seemed a low-profile visit to the Qin clan was impossible now. But with so many brothers following him, what was there to fear?

"Manager, here is the money for the food and drink. Your dog eyes looked down on us earlier. If you say another word, we'll tear this dump apart!" Liang Xi, suddenly filled with heroism, tossed a fist-sized energy crystal to the manager. It was a high-grade crystal; it could buy ten Dragon and Phoenix Restaurants!

The manager hurriedly caught it, and upon realizing it was a rare purple energy crystal, his old face blossomed into a smile. He even slapped himself twice. "The master is right! I have eyes but failed to see the truth. If you gentlemen ever want to visit my shop again, I will be ready at any time!"

Liang Xi's "master" demeanor wasn't faked—he was a master. As long as he had energy crystals, he was a master anywhere! The crowd cheered. Someone who spent so generously was always the most popular. Naturally, no one dared to underestimate him. Could a young man carrying purple energy crystals be a pushover? It was fortunate that such a person was a friend, not an enemy.

The group assembled and surged toward the Qin clan. Liang Xi liked to make a scene, so everyone donned their armor and weapons. Most importantly, he hired four men at the peak of martial prowess as sedan bearers. They carried an incredibly luxurious sedan—Qin Zhen’s. When he and Beifeng left the Qin clan, they were miserable; this time, their return would be glorious!

Everyone felt it should have been like this all along. They walked slowly, beating drums and gongs. Even a dog on the roadside would have to get out of their way!

That day, they finally arrived in Yang City. After passing through, they would reach the territory of the Qin clan. Yang City was a medium-sized city, but due to its location and developed commerce, the straight main road was lined with restaurants and shops. The best in the city was the Yang City Inn, which belonged to the Qin clan. It’s no exaggeration to say that the Qin clan relied on this inn to keep their disciples well-fed and clothed!

"Go, go! Where did this bunch of lunatics come from, trying to stir up trouble at Yang City Inn? After we've had our fill, maybe we'll toss you some leftovers."

After the long journey, even the finest clothes were covered in dust. Qin San, the manager of the inn, was a snob and naturally wouldn't allow such a group near his establishment.

*Slap!*

Niu Sandao slapped Qin San, making him see stars and fall to the ground. Niu Sandao had a fiery temper and always helped those in need. Unfortunately, his personality wasn't liked by everyone, so he hadn't had an easy life. Seeing Qin Zhen and Liang Xi today, he knew that following them would fulfill his wishes.

"Shut your mouth! Open your eyes and look properly! Who is this?" Qin Zhen slowly stepped out of the sedan. He was dressed in finery, unlike the miserable state he was in when he left years ago. Qin San, sitting on the ground, squinted and finally recognized him. His angry face turned to shock. How could this be? Qin Zhen? How could it be him? He remembered what he looked like when he crossed the Poison Dragon Cave—covered in wounds, his martial arts ruined by his own stubbornness. Yet, the man before him not only had his appearance restored but his power was stronger than before, reaching the peak of martial arts—just one step away from the Martial Dao!

"What? Qin San, it's only been a few years and you don't recognize me? You're quite imposing now. Ah, I see, a discarded disciple of the Qin clan like me isn't worthy of your personal service. Brothers, the threshold of this Yang City Inn is too high; we aren't qualified to enter. I'm afraid we'll have to sleep on the roadside!"

"Isn't that Qin Zhen? You have a lot of nerve to come back! I said back then that every time I see you, I'll beat you! I run the Yang City Inn. You, and this bunch of rabble, aren't allowed to step inside. Otherwise, you die!"

*Bam!*

In the next second, Qin Tao was flipped over by a punch. It was Liang Xi. His innate arrogance finally erupted. He stepped firmly on Qin Tao’s chest, looking down at him with disdain. "Now that you're under my feet, what right do you have to shout at me? Hmph, forget this small inn; even the Qin clan itself—I don't care about it today!"

*Bam!*

Liang Xi kicked Qin Tao aside. His fat body hit the wall like a sandbag, smashing a hole through it. He spat out blood. A servant rushed to help him, but the furious Qin Tao slapped the servant to death. He was a rising star of the Qin clan; wherever he went, he was treated like royalty. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

Wiping the blood from his mouth, his triangular eyes erupted with malice. "Little bastard, today I'll show you the power of your Master Tao!" His fat body charged directly at Liang Xi!

This was Qin Tao’s "Savage Bull Force." Knowing he wasn't agile, he created this technique. Nothing in the world could withstand his earth-shattering impact! Qin Tao’s speed increased, and his face was distorted. "Kid, since you chose to intervene, go to hell!"

The crowd gasped! It was over. Qin Tao was a man who held grudges. Having suffered such a loss in front of everyone, this newcomer was going to die!

But Liang Xi remained fearless, not taking a single step back. He stretched out his left hand, and then a more ridiculous scene occurred.

*Slap!*

The fat Qin Tao was slapped to the ground again. This time, his tooth, polished with energy crystals, was knocked out. He shook his head, taking a long time to realize what had happened. He had been slapped down and lost consciousness for a moment.

How was this possible? He was an outstanding disciple who had practiced the supreme scripture of the Qin clan; his defense was at the human limit. How could he be defeated so easily?

"Heh, dead fatty. I could have killed you with that slap, but I didn't. I left you alive so you can crawl back to the Qin clan in shame and tell them the debt collectors have returned. The debt owed back then should be repaid today!"

Liang Xi’s smile was so warm, yet looking at Qin Tao on the ground, there wasn't a trace of the pride of a Qin clan disciple left—it had been wiped away by two slaps.

"No, no, don't kill me. Little brother, I was wrong. Let's talk things over!"

Qin Tao finally realized a reality: the youth before him was younger than himself, yet his strength far surpassed his own. Perhaps only the Clan Head could subdue this kid. He looked at the silent Qin Zhen with malice and roared, "Qin Zhen, you're really something, colluding with outsiders to bully your own kin. If you dare to return to the Qin clan, you'll die!"

*Bam!* *Argh!*

Liang Xi didn't waste words, slamming an iron fist into Qin Tao’s face again. Qin Tao was already fat; now he was beaten into a "lion-head." Qin Zhen let out continuous, pig-like shrieks.

"Going back with these injuries will be more convincing. Before we reach the Qin clan, I won't let Qin Zhen do anything. Once we reach the Qin clan, he won't even need to move, because I'll handle everything!"

If they were going to cause a scene, they might as well make it a big one! "Is there anyone else who isn't convinced? Step out, and I'll deal with you all at once to save trouble!" Liang Xi’s shout made everyone's eardrums ache. In such a situation, who could speak? Who dared to speak? Did they want to die?

The alliance members, seeing Liang Xi’s youthful appearance and immense strength, were filled with admiration, especially Niu Sandao. He admired the strong, and he knew that if he had faced the crazed Qin Tao, he might have won, but only at the cost of being heavily wounded. To do it as effortlessly as Liang Xi was beyond him!

If the Anti-Qin Alliance was formed because of Qin Zhen, then now everyone understood that the core was Liang Xi. A wave of relief washed over them—fortunately, they hadn't clashed with this kid earlier, or who knew what he would have done?

These people were all those who had failed to thrive in the Martial Dao, suppressed by the Qin clan despite their strength. Now, they had found a light. Following Liang Xi, the Qin clan would surely become a thing of the past!

The group ate and drank at the inn, feeling satisfied. After eating, they tore down the infuriating Yang City Inn. Liang Xi had investigated: the entire city was stifled because of this inn, preventing others from doing business. Since that was the case, destroying it was a clean solution!

The people of Yang City cheered. They weren't martial artists, and faced with a giant like the Qin clan, they had no choice but to endure.

"Starting today, everyone can do business properly. The Qin clan will soon be history. I know what you've endured, and I will settle the account with them."

The sky over Yang City was changing. How could the Qin clan not know about such a commotion? The Second Master looked at Qin Tao, now a "lion-head," and pointed his withered finger at the waste. "How did you describe yourself to me before? You said how powerful you were. Hmph, now it seems you are truly powerful. You've brought such glory to the Qin clan; now everyone knows that what the Qin clan trains is just a piece of trash!"

"Alright, alright. Since it's already happened, Second Brother, getting angry at him is useless. Better think about what to do now. The debt collectors are coming back. As the hosts, we can't be unprepared, can we?"

The Clan Head’s tone remained calm, as if he no longer cared about the life or death of the family. The Second Master didn't see it that way. "Don't worry, Big Brother. If that little animal Qin Zhen really dares to come, I will ensure he never leaves!"

"Get out! Are you staying here to continue embarrassing us? I, Qin Bangcheng, have been a hero my whole life—how did I produce a useless piece of trash like you? Aside from eating and hanging around women, what can you do? Get out!"

Qin Tao was berated by his father, his hatred for Liang Xi and Qin Zhen reaching its peak. *Damn you, Liang Xi! I won't let you go! I will make you die!*

The Qin clan disciples saw Qin Tao’s state, but no one dared to laugh or even show an expression. Otherwise, they would die!

"You, and you. Were you laughing just now? Is my state so funny?" Qin Tao pointed at two passing disciples, sneering.

The two disciples had been chatting along the way and never expected disaster to strike. Their faces turned deathly pale, and they collapsed, kowtowing like they were pounding garlic. "No, no! Senior Brother is invincible; we disciples only worship you!"

*Bam!*

Qin Tao slapped the disciple on his left to death, his actions ruthless, ignoring any sense of brotherhood. "He was wrong, so he died. Now, it's your turn to say it. Am I funny?"

"No, no! Qin Zhen and Liang Xi are the funny ones. If they come, they'll be beaten into a pulp by you, crying and begging—no one will be able to help them!"

"Hahaha, well said! Very good. I've decided: you'll follow me from now on. When Qin Zhen and Liang Xi arrive, you'll be on the front line! I want to see if you can beat those two damn men until they're unrecognizable. If you succeed, I'll reward you handsomely. If you fail, I'm sorry—you die!"

Qin Tao was moody, and no matter how his questions were answered, the result was always the same: death. The unnamed disciple’s face was already drained of color. *No! I cannot sit and wait for death! I must do something. How can my life be in the hands of this lunatic? The only one I can rely on now is Qin Zhen!*

"You want to sneak away! Once you enter the Qin clan, you are a member of the Qin clan. You deserve to die!"

*Bam!*

Qin Tao slapped the air, and the disciple died instantly. After killing two people, his anger subsided slightly. "Hmph, a bunch of trash, can't even take one hit. If I really let you deal with Qin Zhen, you'd probably run faster than rabbits!"

"People of the Qin clan! Get out here!"

Liang Xi’s voice sounded like a thunderclap in the sky, and many Qin clan disciples felt dizzy!

*Bam!*

The massive mountain gate was thrown into the Qin clan's plaza, leaving a deep hole in the flat ground!

A group of oddly dressed men walked in slowly, led by four muscular sedan bearers. They carried a luxurious sedan—a level of luxury the Qin clan had never seen. Walking beside the sedan was a man in fine clothes: Liang Xi.

"Lower the sedan!"

Liang Xi waved his hand, and the sedan landed slowly, not raising a speck of dust. The four bearers retreated to the side as if they didn't exist.

"Is this the Qin clan? The name is big, but it’s not even as large as my own courtyard. What is all this on the ground? It’s all just garbage. I understand now—the people of the Qin clan like to treat garbage as treasure! How unique!" Liang Xi deliberately took out a handkerchief to cover his nose and mouth, protesting the filthy air in the courtyard!

"Are you the Liang Xi who destroyed my Yang City Inn? You're quite young but incredibly arrogant. However, such arrogance comes with a price!" The Second Master could no longer hold back. With a shout, a giant palm descended from the sky, seemingly intending to crush Liang Xi! This palm contained terrifying lightning power!

"Lightning Palm!"

*Bam!*

The palm hit Liang Xi hard. "Kid, now you know, being arrogant in front of me—you're a hundred years too early!"

"Is that so? The power of this technique is decent, but unfortunately, it’s useless against me. How about you try taking a hit from me?"

A moment later, Liang Xi’s voice came from the dust. He was completely unharmed!

The person who had attacked was the Second Master, and the Lightning Palm was his signature technique; countless heroes had died under it. Yet, this famous palm had no effect on Liang Xi! How was this possible?

As he spoke, a giant palm formed by Liang Xi’s water-control technique appeared over the Second Master’s head like a dark cloud! The Second Master tried to dodge, but Liang Xi wouldn't give him the chance!

*Boom!*

The giant water palm slammed into the Second Master!

*Pfft!*

The Second Master was driven into the ground. After a long while, he crawled out, covered in filth, and spat out blood. He now put away his contempt; Liang Xi’s power was far beyond his own! His eyes turned to terror.

"Liang Xi, don't be arrogant! Don't forget, I am still here!"

At that moment, the four strong sedan bearers blocked the Clan Head’s path. "The young master said, please behave yourself, Clan Head! It’s not time for you to act yet. Of course, if you insist, the four of us useless things can barely serve as your opponents!"

The Clan Head looked at the four wall-like men, his momentum shrinking by a third, but he still shouted, "What do you want?"

Liang Xi extended his slender index finger and waved it, laughing, "No, no, Clan Head, you’re wrong. It’s not what I want, but what Senior Qin Zhen wants. As a junior, I’m at most a hired hand. I’m good at beating people, but making decisions? Not my forte."

"Senior Qin Zhen, tell us, what do you want?"

Qin Zhen slowly stepped out of the sedan. When the crowd saw him, their expressions were a mix of surprise, shame, and fear—as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight. They had heard rumors that Qin Zhen was coming to settle debts, but hearing it was one thing; seeing him here meant things had reached the point of no return.

"Long time no see, everyone. Clan Head, Second Master, you must be surprised to see me. Honestly, I’m quite surprised myself. I never thought I’d have the chance to return. You asked what I want? Hahaha, back then, how did you treat Beifeng? Have you forgotten? You may have forgotten, but I haven't! My request is simple: I want the Qin clan to be reduced to dust!"

"Arrogant kid! Do you think that by gathering this rabble, you can shake the foundation of the Qin clan? Hmph, why do you think you were able to enter our territory so easily? If we weren't fully prepared, how could we dare? Please, Lords!"

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

Purple lightning descended from the sky. After the light faded, three men walked out. Qin Zhen’s expression changed when he saw them. "The Three Demons of Heaven, Earth, and Man? It’s you?"

"Yes, old friend Qin Zhen. Long time no see. I’m truly happy to see you today. Since the three of us are here, we won't allow anyone to be reckless. We have a good relationship, but we’ve accepted the Qin clan’s energy crystals. If we fight, please bear with us!"

"To hell with your Three Demons! I said it today: I will reduce the Qin clan to dust!"

Liang Xi didn't care about all that. He struck immediately, the power of the Earth Scroll of the Lingyun Records erupting instantly! That fierce palm strike slammed directly into the three demons!

"Not bad, not bad. You’re a character. You’ll surely achieve greatness in the future. Unfortunately, you’re going to die today. The Lingyun Records? Doesn't look like much now!"

"Heaven Demon Finger!"

The Heaven Demon roared, and terrifying purple lightning condensed into a giant finger, slamming toward Liang Xi’s face.

"Earth Demon Foot!"

The Earth Demon leaped into the air and kicked—sharp and fierce. The Heaven Demon Finger attacked from above, the Earth Demon Foot from below. With both demons attacking, there was no room for error!

Liang Xi remained fearless, a faint smile on his face, as if he were waiting for this moment. "Waiting for this. Behold my Snow-Flower Fist!"

Another phenomenon occurred. It began to snow. The snowflakes became the sharpest weapons in the world. The Snow-Flower Fist was a technique Liang Xi had created after mastering the Moon-Cold Power—it was bone-chilling!

*Boom!*

Liang Xi stood against the two demons alone, not losing ground. The Snow-Flower Fist shattered their joint attack with brute force. The two demons changed color, unable to dodge, suffering unprecedented damage!

*Pfft!*

Blood sprayed into the air!

"Hmph!"

*Boom!*

The Man Demon finally acted. Among the three, he was the strongest. Using only his aura, he suppressed the chill of the Snow-Flower Fist. "Good Snow-Flower Fist, truly impressive. Do you think my brothers have no one to back them?"

"Kid, do you dare to fight me? I am the eldest brother of these two useless fellows. My brothers have been bullied; I cannot sit by and watch!"

On the other side, Qin Zhen looked at the Clan Head. "Clan Head, I said I would come back to collect the debt for Beifeng! The collection starts now!"
