Yang Xiaotian couldn’t help but quicken his pace, dashing forward urgently.

Soon, Yang Xiaotian arrived at the scene.

At the site, two people were besieging a Golden Armored Beast, with one person watching from the side.

One of the attackers was none other than Li Guang, the Li Family Patriarch of Xingyue City.

The other person, dressed in the Xingyue City Lord’s Mansion guard armor, appeared to be an expert from the Xingyue City Lord’s Mansion.

As for the young onlooker, he was dressed in a milk-white Alchemist’s robe, with a conspicuous star-shaped badge affixed to his chest.

A one-star Alchemist!

Having been in this world for many years, Yang Xiaotian had never seen an Alchemist until now.

The Pharmacist’s robe and badge of a one-star Alchemist were issued by the Pharmacists’ Guild, highlighting the dignity that set them apart from martial artists.

There was only one Alchemist in the whole of Xingyue City, and Yang Xiaotian immediately guessed that this person must be Qiu Haiqiu, whom the City Lord of Xingyue regarded as a guest of honor.

Yang Xiaotian’s guess was correct; the young man was indeed Qiu Haiqiu.

Although Qiu Haiqiu was only in his twenties, he had passed the one-star Alchemist examination a few years ago and, in addition, his strength was at the Innate fifth-level Grandmaster, making him one of the most dazzling young talents in Divine Sea Country.

If not for the City Lord of Xingyue’s cordial invitation combined with the two families being long-time friends, he would not have come to Xingyue City.

Qiu Haiqiu, watching the blood ooze from the wounds of the Golden Armored Beast, laughed and said, “This beast is truly extraordinary, its blood contains golden liquid. It seems that it might have the potential for ancestral return. Using its blood in Alchemy, even an Innate Spirit Pill could be elevated by one quality level.”

“We must not let this beast escape.”

The one executing the attack on the Golden Armored Beast alongside Li Guang was the Guard Captain of the Xingyue City Lord’s Mansion, Lin Chengxin, who chuckled and said, “Young Master Qiu, rest assured, this beast cannot escape.”

“However, let’s not kill it just yet, catch it alive. I want to drain its blood dry bit by bit!” Qiu Haiqiu said this and suddenly stopped, turning towards the distance, a look of surprise on his face.

Off in the distance, a child around seven or eight years old was walking over.

At this moment, both Li Guang and Lin Chengxin saw Yang Xiaotian as well, both shocked.

While the two were shocked, the Golden Armored Beast swept its tail, forcing the two men back, then came to Yang Xiaotian’s side, angrily motioning with its forelimbs, looking very angry, excited, and wronged.

“Are you Yang Ming’s grandson?” Although the night was somewhat dark, Li Guang still recognized Yang Xiaotian.

Hearing that he was Yang Ming’s grandson, both Qiu Haiqiu and Lin Chengxin were taken aback.

“Is he Yang Zhong?” Qiu Haiqiu’s eyebrows furrowed.

If the child before him was Yang Zhong, that would be a problem.

After all, Yang Zhong was now the disciple of Chen Yuan.

Li Guang clarified, “No, his name is Yang Xiaotian.” He then smiled and said, “The Martial Soul he awakened is a second-grade Giant Tortoise Martial Soul.”

Upon hearing this, Qiu Haiqiu felt relieved inside.

Since he was not that Yang Zhong, it would be an easy matter.

Yang Xiaotian looked at the wounds on the body of the Golden Armored Beast, his eyes coldly fixed on Li Guang and the three individuals.

“Kid, by the looks of it, you want to make a move against us?” Qiu Haiqiu smirked at Li Guang, “Kill him!”

Li Guang nodded, about to step forward, when Lin Chengxin chuckled and said, “No need for the Li Family Patriarch to act, I’ll do it.” He walked towards Yang Xiaotian and said, “Little fellow, in your next life, remember not to wander alone at night, or else, it could cost you your life.”

After Lin Chengxin finished speaking, he sliced his blade towards Yang Xiaotian.

The blade aura reached the top of Yang Xiaotian’s head instantly.

Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to be split in two by Lin Chengxin’s blade, suddenly, a sword light cut through the darkness. Lin Chengxin had no time to react before feeling a pain in his chest. He looked down and saw his heart had been pierced by a long sword.

He looked in disbelief at Yang Xiaotian, who was holding the sword.

“You too, in your next life, remember not to wander at night, or else, it could cost you your life,” Yang Xiaotian said indifferently, as he withdrew the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sword from the body, resheathing it in one fluid motion.

Blood instantly soaked the front of Lin Chengxin’s chest and below.

Li Guang and Qiu Haiqiu were both stunned.

It was only after Lin Chengxin fell to the ground that the two of them reacted.

“You!” Both Li Guang and Qiu Haiqiu were shocked to their core.

They actually didn’t see clearly how Yang Xiaotian drew his sword.

Lin Chengxin, serving as the Captain of the Guards for the City Lord’s Mansion of Xingyue City, was naturally not weak, being a peak late-stage expert of Innate Level Four, and was expected to break through to Innate Level Five within a year.

Yet, such an expert had been killed!

Killed by an eight-year-old child.

Li Guang and Qiu Haiqiu both looked at Yang Xiaotian in the night, suddenly feeling fear, and simultaneously stepped back.

An eight-year-old child, who had just awakened his Martial Soul not long ago, turned out to be an Innate Grandmaster!

They felt chills down their spines.

Qiu Haiqiu was even more uncontrollably angry as he glared at Li Guang, “Didn’t you say this kid had a level two Martial Soul?”

Just as Li Guang was about to speak, Yang Xiaotian suddenly levitated, swinging his sword in a fluid motion.

The sword light surged.

No, it was a sword screen.

Layer upon layer of sword screens bloomed like magnificent fireworks in the darkness.

“One Sword Instance!”

Seeing the astonishing bloom of sword screens, the faces of Li Guang and Qiu Haiqiu drastically changed, the formidable sword screens actually made them feel a strong threat to their lives.

In their shock and anger, they launched their strongest attack with their long swords.

This was their mightiest strike in their lives.

Just to defend against the sword screen in front of them.

They produced a series of sword lights.

But, these sword lights were as if non-existent, the blooming sword screens from Yang Xiaotian instantly pierced through their sword lights, without the slightest hindrance, entering straight through their throats.

They stopped in their tracks.

Li Guang stood there, feeling as if the world had suddenly fallen silent.

He gripped his long sword, trying to support his body, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t keep himself upright.

Li Guang and Qiu Haiqiu almost simultaneously fell.

They could even see blood continuously spouting from each other’s throats.

Yang Xiaotian walked over to them.

Li Guang tried desperately to grasp at Yang Xiaotian but found that his hand couldn’t reach him.

He revealed a smile, his voice hoarse, “Yang Ming, he’s blinder than a blind dog, how laughable.”

Of course, it wasn’t just Yang Ming who was blinder than a blind dog.

He had never heard of anyone in the Martial Soul World breaking through to Innate Grandmaster in less than two months.

How could this Yang Xiaotian possibly have a level two Giant Tortoise Martial Soul?

Was it a Supreme Martial Spirit, perhaps?

Maybe, even more!

This was his last thought.

Beside him, Qiu Haiqiu struggled to open his mouth, trying to breathe, but found that never before had breathing seemed such a luxury.

“Yang Xiaotian,” Qiu Haiqiu mustered all his strength to say, wanting to brand this name deep into his soul.

He was among the youngest Alchemists in Divine Sea Country, with an endlessly bright future ahead of him, but now, was he to die in a little Xingyue City?

His heart was filled with too much unwillingness.

His face pressed against the ground, the ground was so cold, “My master, he will for me…”

As he spoke, Qiu Haiqiu’s voice abruptly stopped, and he moved no more.
