Chapter 70 The Death of Liu Zhen
With claws flashing, Yang Song was forced to retreat.
However, Liu Zhen's legs had been torn open with several wounds by the blade, and he was already at his limit. This sudden surge of momentum could not change his situation at all.
His body, covered in wounds, made it difficult for him to exert his full strength. Especially when he used martial arts, the wounds would tear open again, blood would gush out like a spring, and a feeling of weakness would spread rapidly throughout his body like a tide.
Liu Zhen knew something was wrong. He felt a sudden dizziness and almost couldn't stand up.
Just then, Yang Song charged forward again.
His inner energy surged into the blade, drawing a swift golden light in the air as it slashed horizontally toward Liu Zhen's neck with a chilling aura.
The slash came so fast that Liu Zhen had no time to dodge.
In his haste, he instinctively raised his arm, and his inner energy surged rapidly along his meridians.
To everyone's surprise, Yang Song's powerful strike was abruptly halted just before it touched Liu Zhen's arm.
Then, the golden rainbow blade thrust out and pierced through Liu Zhen's neck!
The knife tip pierced through the back of Liu Zhen's neck, and his mouth gaped open as blood flowed out in a thin stream.
His face was covered in bruises, and his eyes were filled with despair, resentment, and a longing for life.
Unfortunately, it all ended there.
"puff!"
Yang Song suddenly drew his knife, and Liu Zhen stumbled back several steps before collapsing into a pool of blood.
He clutched his wound, groaning in pain, his eyes filled with remorse.
Seeing this, Yang Song raised an eyebrow.
Many people have died at his hands, and it seems that everyone has that look in their eyes before they die.
If you feel remorse, why do you commit such heinous acts?
Some people are born with a deep-seated demonic nature, some are forced by the world, and some are swept up by worldly desires. As a result, their minds gradually become confused, and they commit evil deeds.
If everyone could uphold the spirit of benevolence like you, the world would be a beautiful place, and there would be no more strife.
Unfortunately, this beautiful vision ultimately proved to be like a mirage, something that could be hoped for but never attained...

A warm current spread through Yang Song's limbs and bones, causing his muscles and bones to crackle and pop.
He gazed at Liu Zhen indifferently; the man's struggles grew weaker and weaker until they were almost silent.
Yang Song shook off the blood from his sword and slowly sheathed it.
He originally planned to fight Liu Zhen at Grandma Temple, but plans changed and he had to reveal his strength in the county.
Just as he was about to search the house, he suddenly felt like he was being watched.
He followed this feeling and looked up sharply, only to find that there was someone on the roof of the main house at some point.
This man was slender with thin lips and piercing eyes. He had a long, flowing beard and exuded a powerful and profound aura.
Name: Bao Wei
[Realm: Outer罡 Realm (Early Stage)]
[Power Level: 26 years and 199 days of power]
Yang Song narrowed his eyes slightly, about to clasp his hands and speak, when several more figures flew over, landing on the roof or the top of the wall.
Yang Song quickly glanced at everyone's attribute panels; their cultivation levels varied.
The strongest are at the early stage of Outer Qi, while the weakest have all reached the peak of Qi Condensation.
These people might be guards for wealthy families, or powerful figures within large clans.
"Yang Song".
Among the crowd, someone recognized Yang Song.
After all, he was famous in Anping County. Although his strength was still somewhat lacking, almost everyone knew him.
Especially his recent pursuit of the murderer over a hundred miles, risking his life to seek justice for Fang Zheng and his sister, has brought his fame to its peak!
Yang Song looked at the person who called his name.
Name: Ma Baocheng
[Realm: Neigang Realm (Early Stage)]
[Power Level: 10 years and 250 days of power]
Yang Song sighed and clasped his hands in a fist salute to everyone: "This Liu Zhen is simply unreasonable. I came here today to try and make peace with him, after all, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester."
Who knew that his son would be kidnapped by chance, and he assumed I was in cahoots with the kidnapper, so he started yelling at me to kill me, and that's how things turned out this way.
After a pause, Yang Song protested again, "I clearly have the ability to kill Liu Zhen, why would I collude with the murderer?"
Why go through all that trouble to lure him out of the city?
Upon hearing these words, Ma Baocheng's expression changed.
As the owner of the Vajra Martial Arts School, he was on good terms with Liu Zhen and naturally knew Yang Song's true strength.
That day, when Yang Song returned from taking revenge at Black Wind Stronghold, he said at Dingqing Tower that even if Yang Song had good martial arts talent, martial arts training cannot be effective overnight.
To reach the Inner Strength Realm, it would take at least six or seven years, and that would require daily practice and a constant supply of body-tempering pills.
After saying these words, only a few days have passed, and Yang Song already possesses the strength to kill an Inner Strength Realm martial artist?
How did he train? What kind of magic pills did he take?
"Esteemed seniors, I am injured and must take my leave now."
Yang Songchong and the others clasped their fists in a gesture of respect, then turned to leave.
"etc!"
Bao Wei, perched on the roof ridge, called out to Yang Song, looking down at him from his elevated position.
"The day you came to Anping County, I was buying pastries at Longhuazhai and I clearly remember that you only had the strength of the Body Tempering Realm."
How did you manage to cultivate to this level in just six months?
Yang Song understood Bao Wei's meaning and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "When I was hunting in Laobiegou, I accidentally ingested some rare and precious herbs. In addition, I have been diligently studying and practicing every day, which is why my cultivation has progressed so rapidly."
"If you still want to get to the bottom of this, senior, go ask the county magistrate. As a Jade Liquid Realm martial artist, he understands the reason for my situation better than I do."
Bao Wei's expression immediately turned cold, and he stared at Yang Song with a sinister look.
"Senior, I'll take my leave now."
Yang Song clasped his hands in a fist salute again, then turned and walked out of the Liu family's house.
This time, no one spoke up to stop him.
With Pang Jianxiong protecting him, naturally no one dared to touch Yang Song or pry into his secrets.
Your current strength is all the result of your hard work and dedication.
Bao Wei and the others mistakenly believed that you had a great opportunity and wanted to dig out this secret from you so that their cultivation could advance by leaps and bounds like yours.
What secrets do you have? What opportunities do you have?
You only need two words: practice hard!
[Reward: Ten days of cultivation points]
As they were talking, Yang Song walked out of the Liu family's house.
He could feel that several eyes were still watching him.
He didn't pay much attention; in the short term, these people were wary of Pang Jianxiong and would definitely not dare to touch him.
After a long time, his strength far surpassed that of others, and these high and mighty people were trampled under his feet and could no longer look down on him as they did today.
So what does he have to be afraid of?
Surrounded by formidable enemies, you remain calm and composed, even appearing to disregard everyone.
Bao Wei and the others were so intimidated by your imposing presence that they dared not make the slightest move and could only watch helplessly as you left with an air of nonchalance.
These people are far stronger than you, yet they were frozen in place by your innate domineering aura. They've wasted their entire lives training!
