The two elders stared in absolute shock as the Feng Yun regained his strength back. The boy who was originally in extremely dire straits now stared at them with a powerful gaze and aura. He now had an air of confidence that made the two elders deeply afraid.

"This aura...he broke through to the fifth layer? At his age?!!!"

The two elders couldn't believe it. A twelve year old whose cultivation was of the fifth layer of the Xiantian Realm? This was an unprecedented event that has never happened before. Twelve years old! A boy like this would have major accomplishments in the future.

"Old freaks, it seems the tides have turned. We shall see who survives this battle now!"

Feng Yun unleashed his full aura upon the two old men, a strange sense of suffocation manifesting upon their bodies. Teng Xin and Yang Kai were dumbfounded. They felt the full weight of the pressure despite their cultivation levels being so much higher than his and appeared to be struggling.

"Damn kid, it doesn't matter whether you've made a breakthrough. Us two brothers united are able to kill a little brat like you easily."

Yang Kai nodded his head furiously at Teng Xin's comment and the two readied themselves into a fighting stance. Their auras exploded forth, making the ground quake and tremble. Feng Yun however didn't appear to be fazed at all and merely smiled in disdain. What was miraculous was that throughout the whole battle, he had maintained absolute confidence in his abilities despite his cultivation being insufficient. It was his belief that only through battle could one's strength be tempered that led him to make his unexpected breakthrough!

"I'm not going to waste words with foolish old men like you. However, I do wonder how you are going to explain to your ancestors that you were killed by a twelve year old!"

With that comment, he leaped off the ground with a much faster speed than he had before, closing the distance between the two forces in a mere few seconds. He activated a skill instantly, not giving the two old men time to analyze the strike.

"Raiding Thunder Palm!"

Both of his fists shot out, aimed at the two men and were accompanied by an intense stream of Yuan Energy constantly circulating through it. The two condensed a Yuan Energy barrier to block the strike and were confident that they would succeed, but were met with surprise.

BANG!

The martial skill collided with the Yuan Energy barriers and a powerful pressure descended upon them. The two old men sneered, thinking that that was all there was to it. However, they were proved wrong as a large crack appeared on the surface and spread quickly, shattering the barrier in an instant.

"What?!"

The two were incomparably shocked and their senses were dulled for a sharp moment. However, that was all Feng Yun needed to execute a fierce attack towards them.

"Hell Thunder Dragon's Descent!"

The image of an extremely mighty and awe inspiring dragon materialized into the air, flanked by vast streams of Yuan Energy. The dragon was incredibly large and seemed to radiate vast amounts of killing intent and power. The being seemed like it jumped straight out of Hell and reincarnated as a fiendish demon!

The colossal dragon circled in the air for a moments before recognizing its targets and shooting straight down to Earth like a comet, speeding towards them. Yang Kai and Teng Xin had no time to react, the dragon soaring straight into their bodies. The only thing they could do was execute their martial skills to try to soften the blow.

ROAR!!!

The two old men were assaulted by explosions from the illusory dragon crashing into their body. Tremors ran through the earth below them and cracks appeared on the surface. Pale expressions replaced their usually calm and arrogant faces as they were pushed back several meters into a wall of hard solid rock.

"No...*Cough* fucking...*Cough*...way!"

The two struggled to get out their words as they vomited several mouthfuls of blood from the impact of the dragon. The people on the outside watching were absolutely dumbfounded. The boy...had actually forced two powerful experts of the eighth level of the Xiantian Realm to be heavily injured. Utterly inconceivable. What was even more shocking was that the boy had made the breakthrough during a life and death battle! How many people were crazy and brave enough to do such a thing when they should be focusing on the battle?

"So, old bastards, have you considered regretting your previous actions?"

The two old men gritted their teeth in anger and frustration. If only the kid had never made a breakthrough? If only we hadn't underestimated him? Nevertheless, they knew that they had to kill the boy otherwise they themselves would be killed. It was the law of the world unfortunately. Those they provoked must be killed if they are weaker. If they're stronger than themselves however...well...you would run.

Yang Kai wiped the blood from his mouth and summoned his halberd into his hands. It gleamed with its red blade and black handle but strangely, it seemed to lack in terms of intensity compared to before in accordance to Feng Yun's perspective.

"It's...gotten weaker. Or I have gotten stronger. Whichever one, your stick can't hold a candle to me!"

"Little brat! I'll kill you!"

Yang Kai unleashed a spirit ability for his halberd and immediately covered it in spiritual energy. The blade was encompassed with a black Yuan Energy that seemed to cut through the air. The blade definitely contained a massive amount of power.

Unfortunately for Yang Kai, Feng Yun didn't give a shit.

The boy smiled and waited for the blade to get close before summoning his own sword to counter the attack. He then surrounded the sword with spiritual energy and slashed out towards the red blade.

CLANG!

The two forces clashed for a whole moment before the Overlord Heaven Piercer showed signs of winning. Yang Kai stared, dumbfounded as his blade was completely countered and blown away.

The power of one's spirits often depended on the cultivation of the owner. Since Feng Yun as capable of fighting opponents three layers above him, it was only natural that his spirits would gain that power as well.

"Hmph, how half assed. I can't believe that I had trouble dealing with this thing before. I'll tell you what, since you know that your techniques are clearly useless against me, why don't you take that blade...and castrate yourself. Otherwise, well, I'll have to do it myself."

Yang Kai and Teng Xin's faces turned white as they comprehended the meaning of Feng Yun's words. Castration?! This was the absolute worst shame known to a man. However, they could see that they were hardly a match for the current Feng Yun. It was funny, only moments ago they were declaring victory. Now, however, the tides of battle had turned.

"Yang Kai...run now! Run as fast as you can!"

Yang Kai didn't hesitate for a moment, activating his Yuan Energy and moving backwards at a high speed. Teng Xin did the same. Both had expressions of terror and anxiety on their faces and wanted to get away from the monstrous boy that wanted to kill them.

"Ara...you're running. Ahh! Shameless old men! You haven't waited for me to torture you yet! Jeez, you want me to kill you now?"

Feng Yun slapped his forehead in disappointment. However, it was not because he wasn't confident in being able to catch the two old men. Rather, he wouldn't be able to employ his torture methods on them.

"Hey, don't run so fast. I, your father needs to catch up to keep an eye on you two!"

In an instant, Feng Yun maneuvered the Cloudscale Sect Evasion Arts to increase his speed double-fold. The distance between him and the two old men was instantly covered in the matter of a few seconds. The two old men had already run through half the city when they sensed a figure coming up behind them.

"There's someone behind us? Eh? IT'S YOU?!!!"

The two shouted out in absolute horror. The boy had a vivid smile on his face that would be described as charming if they didn't know of the purpose of the smile.

"Haha, I've finally caught up to you! You two old guys really made me spend a lot of energy!"

Then, a sudden cold glint emerged in Feng Yun's eyes as a large amount of bloodlust unloaded off of him. Instantly, his dragon spirit was activated and his movement skill was displayed.

"Wind Transferrer!"

Feng Yun's body was teleported into the air in front of the two old men. They had been looking behind them to see if Feng Yun was catching up to them but when he disappeared, their eyes flashed forward again. They were met with the sight of a boy in the air directly a foot away from them, his sword a mere edge away from their throats.

CHOP!

Only the look of horror was present on their faces as Feng Yun chopped off their heads, the circular shape flying into the air, blood spraying from the tips. They tumbled to the floor along with their bodies, which came to a staggering halt. Blood streamed out in large amounts, dying the street with its red color. Feng Yun landed on the ground next to the two bodies, his expression reflecting a look of disappointment despite his victory earlier.

"Aiya, these guys really caused me a lot of trouble. I was planning to torture them until they wanted to die but it looks like I won't be doing that anymore. Well, whatever. The looks on their faces are good enough for me!"

Feng Yun immediately stored the heads in a sack, their horror stricken faces being hidden by the leather covering. Then, he quickly traveled back to the gate with the heads in tow.

Two powerful cultivators of the eighth layer of the Xiantian Realm, were killed as easy as that!
