15 I've Been Waiting For A Long Time

At night, Su Yang got up from the medicine bucket. Drops of pale green liquid dripped from his body.

As an hour passed, he had absorbed most of the medicinal power contained in the barrel of medicinal liquid. The remaining residue did not have much effect.

After stretching his muscles and bones, a series of explosions sounded.

"Awesome!" It was a very straightforward feeling. This wasn't just the feeling of having bones cracking, there was also the pleasure of enduring for an hour before completely releasing it.

This hour was not easy for Su Yang. The skin was constantly damaged and repaired, which would bring about three strange feelings of pain, itch, and comfort.

"Cultivation is really not easy… However, the feeling of strengthening one's physique is also very addictive."

The feeling brought about by the strengthening of his physique was more obvious than the strengthening of his sword essence. With just one medicinal bath, his body had strengthened by at least a third.

Although he was still an ordinary person, at least he could see the way forward.

After sighing slightly, Su Yang put on his clothes and walked out of the small pharmacy.

In the inner court, Liu Congshan and Liu Yurou were both present. Glancing around, he saw Liu Congshan guiding Liu Yurou in refining medicine.

"It's over?"

"Yes, it's over. Thank you, Doctor Liu. I might have to trouble you later."

"Lord Su, there's no need to be so polite."

After Su Yang thanked Liu Congshan, he walked out of Huichun Hall. When they returned to the main street, the sky had already darkened.

It was about nine o'clock in the evening. Su Yang returned to Spring Wind Hall. Although it was already midnight, Zhang Hu and the others had not finished their cultivation.

The soldiers of Pingshan City's Martial Suppression Division all cultivated the Iron Body Technique, which was only a seventh-grade cultivation technique. During the day, they would use equipment to beat their bodies to strengthen their physique. At night, if they soaked in Bone-strengthening Powder for two hours, they would get twice the results with half the effort.

This was an external cultivation technique, and its effects were extremely slow.

It would take at least a year to reach ninth grade, five years to reach eighth grade, and ten years to reach seventh grade. This still required a little talent. Those without talent could not even enter the entry-level. With the help of some cultivation resources, the speed of cultivation would increase.

After returning to his courtyard, Su Yang washed up and went to sleep.

...

Four figures slowly appeared in the outer courtyard of Spring Wind Hall. Two of them were muscular and wore loose martial arts clothes, and the other two were slender, wearing green Daoist robes.

"Disciple, do you want him alive or dead?" Du Yunzi asked his disciple, the eldest son of the Li family, Li Qingyun.

"Master, he has to live. We can't let him die so easily," Li Qingyun said calmly.

"Alright." Du Yunzi continued, " However, I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Pang Chen."

Pang Chen was the second son of the Li family Li Pingshan's master. His martial arts skills were superb. His Qi had reached the liquid stage, placing him in the sixth grade.

"It's fine. Just do it. If your disciple is in trouble, as masters, we naturally have to help." Pang Chen said in a muffled voice.

Du Yunzi nodded, and then he cast a spell. Wisps of pale green gas floated out of his body. In just a moment, the entire Spring Breeze Hall courtyard was enveloped by a pale green gas.

One by one, the soldiers fell unconscious.

After waiting for a while more, he felt that it was about time. He once again formed a seal with both hands, and a dark green eyeball was condensed by him.

"Go!"

With a low shout, his eyes were about to fly toward the courtyard of Spring Wind Hall.

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly erupted from the courtyard, and countless pale green gases were blown away. Another sharp sword intent instantly slashed at the dark green eyeball. With a crack, the dark green eyeball was cut in half and exploded in midair.

"Ah!" Du Yunzi covered his left eye as the dark green eyeball exploded. He let out a blood-curdling scream, and drops of blood spurted out from the gaps in his hand.

"Master! Are you alright?" Li Qingyun was anxious. How could this be? Who in Pingshan City could hurt his master?

Could it be that someone from above came down? Li Qingyun suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Hurry up…Let's go, it's terrifying!" Du Yunzi forced himself to speak despite the pain. The sword strike just now had made him feel that the endless sword will in the courtyard had awakened.

If he didn't leave now, he probably wouldn't be able to…

"Creak…"

Su Yang pushed open the door and walked out of the courtyard. Sword intent surrounded him like a celestial being in the mortal realm.

He did not have any cultivation, so after he discovered that the sword intent had a warning effect, his body would never lack sword intent.

"Since everyone has come to visit so late at night, it's best not to leave in such a hurry. After all…I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Disperse!"

With a low shout, the sword intent was like a tide, instantly forming a sword intent domain that enveloped everyone.

Pang Chen cultivated martial arts, so he naturally knew the reason. However, because he could see the reason, he was even more frightened.

"Sword Intent…Such a powerful sword intent…How is that possible?" Pang Chen felt a chill run down his spine. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. The sword intent before him had already surpassed the sixth grade!

"Fellow Daoist Pang, don't panic. Use your full strength to break through the sword intent and we'll live! I don't see any cultivation base on this person."

Du Yunzi's words gave Pang Chen hope.

"Good!"

In the next moment, Pang Chen and Du Yunzi's auras changed. Du Yunzi endured the pain in his body and activated his spell technique. Wisps of dark green aura emitted from his body. Pang Chen infused his martial intent and drew the large blade from his back.

However, in the next second, Su Yang put his fingers together and waved them gently. He shouted, "Slash."

The sword intent gathered and transformed into flying swords, easily severing the tendons in both of their hands and feet, destroying their dantians, and scattering their cultivation entirely. The aura that the two of them had gathered suddenly dissipated.

"What are you doing? Why don't you just surrender?" Su Yang shook his head. He stood there and looked at the two people who had fallen.

Giving the enemy a chance was not in his character. If he could finish them off directly, why did he have to wait for the enemy to make a move?

Su Yang looked at Li Qingyun and Li Pingshan, "Two young masters of the Li family, I've finally waited for you."

"What do you mean?" Li Qingyun looked at the smiling Su Yang and instantly felt that something was wrong.

"According to Da Xia Law... Murdering an official appointed by the court is a crime of extermination."

From the beginning, when Su Yang decided to attack the Li family, everything was already within his calculations. By killing Li Ming, if Li Yijiang revealed any suspicious activities, he could directly annihilate the entire family. Unfortunately, Li Yijiang, that old fox, was cautious in his actions.

Then... Since the Li family's backing was Li Qingyun and Li Pingshan, Su Yang might as well wait for the two of them to return. When they made their move, everything would be over.

"No, You can't! You can't do this. I didn't murder you. You can't produce any evidence." Li Qingyun panicked and denied it repeatedly.

"Evidence? There were many times in this world where evidence was not needed. If I want to destroy the Li family, I can just find a reason."

Su Yang's words made Li Qingyun and Li Pingshan hold their breaths. They looked at Su Yang with fear in their eyes. They wanted to resist and escape. However, after a few sword intents tore through the air, Li Qingyun and Li Pingshan followed in their master's footsteps.

At the entrance of Spring Wind Hall, four figures lay limply on the ground. Then, a wisp of sword intent swept across their bodies. All the valuable things and cultivation techniques were put away by Su Yang.
