"Pa, pa, pa!"
Jumping down from his horse, Wang Xin clapped lightly and praised, "Impressive, truly impressive! Without even Opening Veins, you killed them all relying solely on a sword. Junze, you're really incredible!"
"But, did you forget something? I'm not like those useless trash. I'm a genius with seventeen opened meridians, hahaha!"
Clapping as he walked toward Wang Junze, Wang Xin's face was full of contempt and disdain.
As he spoke, a powerful aura emanated from Wang Xin as well. True Qi surged within him, and with every step he took, he left a deep footprint in the ground.
The gap between a Martial Artist and a normal person was simply too huge.
With seventeen opened veins, Wang Xin's strength was far beyond that of those branch disciples just now.
"Wang Xin, you're truly cold-blooded by nature. These people were always following you, yet now you let them be killed by me. You want to use my hand to silence them, don't you?"
Shaking his head, Wang Junze said coldly.
When he made his move earlier, he had actually been on guard against Wang Xin interfering. After all, as Wang Xin said, those cousins were genuinely Martial Artists with seventeen opened veins and could have saved those people had they acted.
But the other party waited until everyone else was dead before coming over.
"That's right, too many people, too many secrets! Who told Xin to protect you? Once they're all dead, there'll be no witnesses." Wang Xin laughed. "Besides, you killed first, so when I kill you later, even if it gets to your father, I'll have a legitimate reason, right?"
"All just for one Meridian Opening Pill… you really are scheming!"
With a sigh, Wang Junze shook his head.
"Ha! Wang Junze, you're really full of yourself! You had it too easy. Do you know how many trips I made to Jubei City for this one Meridian Opening Pill?" Wang Xin sneered. "Trash like you don't even understand the difference between seventeen and eighteen opened veins. With this pill, I'll be a true genius!"
"Obviously, I'm the genius of the Wang Family, yet Xin wants to give such a precious Meridian Opening Pill to you, this piece of trash! Utterly stupid!" Wang Xin continued, "As for you, why don't you just obediently hand over the pill? You all deserve to die!"
At the mention of Xin, a cold murderous intent suddenly flashed in Wang Junze's eyes.
That idiot Wang Xin—trying to kill him for the pill was one thing, but holding a grudge against Xin too? Unbelievable!
"Die! Let me personally butcher you, this piece of trash, and pave my own path to genius! Rest assured, one day, even that Xin will die by my hand. I am the Wang Family's only genius!"
Boom!
As he spoke, Wang Xin drew his blade from his waist and swung it viciously at Wang Junze!
In a flash, a streak of blue Sword Aura glinted on the blade's edge.
True Qi!
As Wang Xin attacked, the True Qi in his body flowed naturally, surging into his blade, revealing a terrifying force. This strike was far, far stronger than any of those before!
Even with Wang Junze practicing his sword for three years, his speed couldn't match Wang Xin's strike!
This was the difference between having True Qi or not—the chasm between a Martial Artist and a normal person, as vast as an abyss!
In that instant, a deadly sense of danger erupted in Wang Junze's heart, making every hair on his body stand on end.
In that moment, he truly smelled the scent of death.
Yet, at that very moment, Wang Junze felt the Sword Qi hidden in his meridians for the past three years tremble under the threat of that blade.
Three years of bitter cultivation—Wang Junze had always felt he was just a step away from breaking through, just a thread away from shattering the shackles and using Sword Qi to break through the blockages in his own meridians. Yet, always, he fell a little short.
But now, facing Wang Xin's threat, Wang Junze finally realized—it wasn't hard training he lacked, but the sharpness of confronting life and death!
The sword is for killing!
Without facing death head on, without the sharpness of seeking life in death, how could one use Sword Qi to break through the blocked meridians and be reborn?!
In a single thought, Sword Qi awakens!
"Crack!"
Vaguely, Wang Junze seemed to hear a crisp rupturing sound in his meridians, as if something inside him was completely shattered in an instant!
At the very same time, the sword in Wang Junze's hand slashed out instinctively, as if all his strength and spirit fused into this one strike!
Rumble!
Thunder roared inside him—surging Sword Qi exploded out in an instant, transforming into a blinding Sword Aura that burst forth from the Sword Edge, easily cleaving apart Wang Xin's incoming blade—and slashing Wang Xin himself cleanly in two!
Genius?!
A worthless seventeen-opened-veins martial artist—what kind of genius is that before a Sword Path Genius like Wang Junze?!
To Wang Junze in this moment, killing him was nothing more than an afterthought!
This sword was for killing—and for Realm-Breaking and Opening Veins!
The long-blocked meridians in his body suddenly burst open in this single strike!
With one sword—Opening Veins!
