Chapter 100: Meeting (I)
After making up his mind, he shortened the distance between them to one meter with a single step. He grabbed the longsword at his waist and was about to kill Wu Yunsheng with one strike.
“Crack!”
The sound of a sword being unsheathed rang out.
Wu Yunsheng seemed to have a premonition. He suddenly realized that the other party really wanted to kill him.
At the moment of his impending death, his thoughts moved much faster than usual. In an instant, everything that had happened since he was young flashed across his mind.
When he was a child, his body was far stronger than his peers. When he was a teen, he had shocked the world when he first stepped on the path of martial arts. Lei Bojun had soon discovered his talent and brought him into the Tongbeiquan School. After that, he gradually became the eldest senior brother of the school.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that nothing was more important than staying alive.
He was still running forward as he turned his head around.
“I am…”
Just as he was about to reveal his identity as the eldest senior brother of the Tongbeiquan School and give up his pride to beg for mercy, “Swish!” a sword flashed past.
Wu Yunsheng had only managed to say two words, and the rest of his words were still stuck in his throat.
Other than suppressing the internal force that would leave traces behind, Chen Yiming used his fastest speed.
Although this speed was far inferior to that with his internal force, he was still far superior than the typical warrior candidate. Therefore, Wu Yunsheng could not react at all.
In an instant, a red line appeared on Wu Yunsheng’s neck, splitting it into two.
In the next instant, bright red blood sprayed out, and his entire head was sent flying into the distance due to the inertia of his body.
“…”
Wu Yunsheng’s eyes widened as he saw a silver sword flash past.
He could not figure out why the other party did not play by the rules.
Even if he did not reveal his identity as the eldest senior brother of the Tongbeiquan School, the martial arts training robe he was wearing would already identify him as a core disciple.
Furthermore, it wasn’t like no one knew about his trip. The Tongbeiquan School had a warrior presiding over it as the head. Wasn’t Chen Yiming afraid that someone from the warrior realm would come to avenge his death?
Could it be?
A terrifying thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.
However, at this moment, his consciousness seemed to have fallen completely into darkness. The speed of his thoughts began to slow down, and he could barely move.
At the last moment before his consciousness was about to be extinguished, Wu Yunsheng guessed the truth of the matter.
Chen Yiming stood a short distance from the corpse and shook his head helplessly.
“If you had known this would happen, wouldn’t you have acted like me and kept a low profile? Why did you have to get into a fight with me?”
As an employee who had experienced the harsh reality of society before he transmigrated, he knew very well that there was always someone better than him in society. Therefore, he had always been hiding his true abilities.
The other party must have been a genius from a young age, which was why he would do such a stupid thing.
Chen Yiming became even more determined to keep a low profile.
Before he made a further breakthrough in his cultivation, he would maintain his status as a warrior candidate.
By doing this, it was rather unlikely for anyone above the warrior realm to bother with him, a warrior candidate. As for enemies in the warrior realm, he had enough trump cards to deal with them.
Chen Yiming went forward to search the body.
Soon, other than finding a useless token that identified him as a core disciple, he also found a drawing.
“Could this be the concept diagram of the Tongbeiquan technique?” Chen Yiming asked doubtfully.
The content of the drawing was drop after drop of water, almost forming a line, dripping down from the sky into the sea.
Chen Yiming glanced at the drawing and put it away.
“I wonder if I can come up with a new sword technique from it.”
He had cultivated two sword techniques from the warrior realm and became deeply familiar with the essence of martial arts techniques.
The sword techniques, saber techniques, fist techniques, palm techniques, and other types of moves in the warrior realm were essentially something that human geniuses had come up with from cultivating concept diagrams. These were human martial arts techniques that complemented the concept diagrams.
This way, different people could come up with different cultivation techniques from the same concept diagram.
While Chen Yiming was thinking, he chopped off some branches and piled them on the corpse.
After completing the preparations, he released his internal force and used the power of lightning to start a fire.
“Crack…”
The sound of branches crackling could be heard. The raging flames quickly burned up the corpse.
The token that could prove his identity had been taken away by Chen Yiming. Unless a professional examined the body, no one would know that he was Wu Yunsheng from the Tongbeiquan School.
…
In the training hall of the Tongbeiquan School, the head, Lei Bojun, stood with his hands behind his back. In front of him were a few core disciples of the school. Other than Wu Yunsheng, everyone else was present.
Unlike the others, Yao Yong was sitting in a wheelchair and could not walk normally. He was protecting his broken ribs to let them heal naturally.
“Where’s Wu Yunsheng?” Lei Bojun asked.
The core disciples had different expressions on their faces. They looked at each other, but no one replied.
“Han Honghai, tell me how Yao Yong’s injuries came about,” Lei Bojun’s expression darkened as he said sternly.
Han Honghai was the lowest core disciple in the Tongbeiquan School. He was the weakest and had a straightforward personality, so he usually did not dare to hide anything.
Han Honghai was startled and replied, “Ah? It’s… it’s Eldest Senior Brother.”
“What exactly is going on?” Lei Bojun frowned and his tone became more stern.
“…”
The other core disciples were also startled, but no one stood out to say what Wu Yunsheng had done.
They had been joking when they talked about recommending Chen Yiming to join the Tongbeiquan School, but this had angered Wu Yunsheng.
With He Chuan, Wu Yunsheng’s underling, present, they were unwilling to further offend Wu Yunsheng.
For a time, the atmosphere in the training hall was tense.
Lei Bojun had no choice but to turn to Han Honghai again.
“Master, I really don’t know about this. You should ask He Chuan. We had all left back then,” Han Honghai said in a low voice with a bitter expression.
“He Chuan,” Lei Bojun shouted.
His tone was stern and his voice rang out loudly.
“Master, Eldest Senior Brother went out of the city to cultivate,” He Chuan replied without changing his expression.
This was something Wu Yunsheng had specially instructed him to say to deal with situations where he had no choice but to answer.
“Wu Yunsheng is already a warrior candidate. What’s the use of going out of the city to cultivate? What he needs is to complete the concept diagram through meditation,” Lei Bojun said in a low voice.
Having led disciples for so many years, how could he not know when they were telling lies and when they were telling the truth?
Leaving the city to train was just an excuse.
“Master, Eldest Senior Brother has indeed left the city to cultivate,” He Chuan confirmed again.
Lei Bojun glared at He Chuan and said sternly, “When Wu Yunsheng returns, tell him to come and find me immediately.”
With this, the matter with Wu Yunsheng was pushed back.
Those who knew about it would either help him hide it or not dare to say anything.
No one expected that Wu Yunsheng had already died in the wilderness.
…
On the street opposite the Tongbeiquan School, people were coming and going. It was the time that people usually went for a walk after dinner.
In a corner on the street, Chen Yiming watched the scene in the Tongbeiquan School through the glass door.
“Then Lei Bojun has already been in there for more than half an hour. Should I just charge in and kill him with the Heart Sword?”
If he barged into the martial arts school and killed the head of the school, it would definitely cause a huge commotion. There would definitely be professionals who would investigate and look for the culprit.
This option was extremely risky. He was not confident that he could leave no traces behind.
