C7 Kill Faang Chen

Moreover, at this very moment, Zhang Binn was determined to make sure this cursed fellow didn't leave here today!

As he drew the Hidden Dragon Sword, he instantly commanded the system, "System, train me in the first and second swords of the Profound Nether Nine Swords!"

"Ding dong! First sword of the Profound Nether Nine Swords successfully cultivated, consuming 200 experience points! Second sword successfully cultivated, consuming 300 experience points!"

"Elevate my cultivation to the sixth level of the Body Tempering Stage!" Zhang Binn ordered upon hearing the system's prompt.

"Ding dong: Congratulations, host, for advancing to the sixth level of the Body Tempering Stage, consuming 600 experience points!"

In a mere moment, Zhang Binn felt an immense surge of strength within him!

It was then that Zhang Binn abruptly lifted his sword and brought it down towards Faang Chen!

Faang Chen, noticing Zhang Binn's change in tactics, couldn't help but flash a slight smirk and taunted, "Kid, you've stopped running? Today, you'll taste the true meaning of despair!"

With those words, Faang Chen released all his power in a wild burst that seemed to fill the room!

"Profound Nether Nine Swords' first sword, Profound Nether Slash, strike!"

As Zhang Binn uttered these words, a chilling black light emanated from the blade.

The piercing glow shot straight towards Faang Chen!

Faang Chen, witnessing the attack, let out a scornful laugh and said with contempt, "Petty skill. Watch as my fist shatters it!"

He then unleashed his power, which crashed towards Zhang Binn like a torrential flood!

But, just as his fist neared Zhang Binn, a sense of dread washed over him.

His face shifted subtly as he murmured to Zhang Binn, "You... you're not just at the fifth level of the Body Tempering Stage, are you?"

Ignoring Faang Chen's realization, Zhang Binn decisively swung his sword, cutting through Faang Chen's body!

A scream tore through the air as Faang Chen's arm was severed by Zhang Binn's blade, scattering a shower of blood throughout the room.

With his face ashen, Faang Chen glared at Zhang Binn and hissed, "You... how could you have suddenly broken through from the fifth to the sixth level of the Body Tempering Stage? Impossible! It can't be!"

Faang Chen was on the brink of madness.

He had been locked in combat with Zhang Binn for quite some time and could distinctly sense that Zhang Binn had only just advanced to the fifth level of the Body Tempering Stage.

How could he have possibly ascended to the sixth level in such a brief span of time?

"Nothing is impossible!" Zhang Binn retorted coldly to Faang Chen's terror.

With that, Zhang Binn lifted his sword, poised to strike at Faang Chen once more.

Witnessing Zhang Binn's relentless aggression, Faang Chen's panic surged.

Even at his prime, he doubted he could match Zhang Binn.

Especially now, having lost a hand to Zhang Binn's blade in a moment of negligence.

In his current state, he stood even less chance against Zhang Binn!

If Zhang Binn truly sought his demise, he would undoubtedly be pulverized to dust!

With this grim thought, Zhang Binn's expression darkened to its utmost.

In a flurry of fear, he pleaded, "Senior Brother, I beg you to spare me!"

As he implored, Faang Chen dropped to his knees before Zhang Binn.

Now, with Zhang Binn possessing the power to end him, Faang Chen was forced to bow before the might of absolute strength.

Zhang Binn was taken aback by Faang Chen's sudden act of submission, his face registering shock.

He had never anticipated Faang Chen would kneel before him so abruptly.

"Please, have mercy, Senior Brother!" Faang Chen entreated with reverence, preparing to bow deeply to Zhang Binn.

At this sight, a smirk curled the edges of Zhang Binn's lips, a cold laugh escaping him.

How utterly absurd this man was!

To think he would ask for mercy!

If their roles were reversed and he was the one overpowered, would Faang Chen have offered any clemency?

Indeed, the world was a harsh place where power reigned supreme.

With a silent, inward sigh, Zhang Binn regarded Faang Chen with a detached gaze and murmured, "I might consider sparing you."

At these words, Faang Chen's face, once stricken with fear, now brightened with wild joy.

He then whispered earnestly, "Senior Brother, if you grant me my life, I, Faang Chen, will do anything in my power for you!"

Upon hearing Faang Chen's words, a deeper chill settled in Zhang Binn's heart.

Such a person could not be left alive! Who knows when he might turn and deliver a vicious bite?

"I just want to know, how did you come to learn that I killed Yang Yuxuan? Who told you?" Zhang Binn asked Faang Chen in a hushed tone.

Truth be told, Zhang Binn didn't give much thought to minor figures like Yang Yuxuan and Faang Chen. His real concern was Yang Yuquan!

Yang Yuquan was in a different league compared to these underlings.

He was now an Inner Sect disciple, and his cultivation had even reached the Qi Refining Stage. If he found out about the death of his brother, he would likely kill Zhang Binn without a second thought.

The sect had clear rules against disciples killing each other in secret.

But these rules really only applied to Inner Sect and core disciples.

Outer sect disciples and servant disciples were insignificant, like ants to the Inner Sect disciples. Their deaths were inconsequential.

And the sect wouldn't dream of punishing a disciple with immense potential from the Inner Sect over a mere servant disciple.

Especially not when that Inner Sect disciple was a direct pupil of one of the ten great elders.

This was precisely why Zhang Binn was so wary of Yang Yuquan!

Ultimately, it came down to Zhang Binn's own lack of strength. If he were more powerful, he was sure that even an Inner Sect disciple like Yang Yuquan wouldn't dare to cross him.

"I... I witnessed you killing Yang Yuxuan on the back mountain! And it wasn't just me; several other servant disciples who were training there saw it too! They just didn't confront you because they feared your strength," Faang Chen said, his voice low and his expression uneasy.

Zhang Binn's face subtly shifted upon hearing these words.

His greatest fear had come to pass.

But with things as they were, it seemed there was no turning back.

With that in mind, Zhang Binn let out a cold laugh and whispered to Faang Chen, "Well, I've learned what I needed to know. Your time is up."

At Zhang Binn's words, Faang Chen, who had been about to rise, felt a jolt of fear and made up his mind to flee.

He was quick, but Zhang Binn was quicker!

A shadowy streak, like a shooting star, pierced Faang Chen's heart!

Blood poured from Zhang Binn's mouth.

With eyes brimming with resentment, he glared at Zhang Binn and accused, "You... you deceived me?"

As he finished, Faang Chen coughed up another gush of blood.

"Kill or be killed. If you come after my life, be ready to have yours taken instead!" Zhang Binn said with a sneer, looking down on Faang Chen.

At Zhang Binn's words, Faang Chen spat out more blood and collapsed, dead to the world.

The system announced, "Ding dong: Congratulations, host, for defeating a Body Tempering Stage Six warrior. You've earned 60 experience points!"

After dispatching Faang Chen, Zhang Binn meticulously cleaned his room.

It wasn't his first kill, but the thought of a corpse in his quarters sent shivers down his spine.

With everything in order, Zhang Binn resumed his cultivation.

He had learned from Yang Yuxuan that his brother, Yang Yuquan, was tied up with sect duties and couldn't return just yet.

Zhang Binn had half a month to get ready.

In half a month, when Yang Yuquan returned to the sect, the news would surely reach him. Zhang Binn would have to confront a formidable opponent like Yang Yuquan, possibly even in battle.

The thought filled Zhang Binn with urgency.

"I need to focus on my cultivation over these next two weeks and advance to the Qi Refining Stage. That's the only way I'll stand a chance against Yang Yuquan," he murmured to himself.

Feeling the weight of this challenge, Zhang Binn resolved to visit the Devil Beast Mountain Range.

"There, I can face Devil Beasts to sharpen my combat skills and find potent spiritual herbs and fortunes. Perhaps I can achieve a breakthrough to the Qi Refining Stage in no time!"

With his mind set, Zhang Binn silently vowed to set out for the Devil Beast Mountain Range the next day.
