God-Level Special Forces Soldier-Chapter 626 - 623: Xiao Tian’s Resolve

As disciples, the only way to obtain that sacred medicine is through the triennial sect competition, where only the champion can receive one pill.

This was something that Yun He and Yun Mie hadn’t even considered. If Yun You relied on Celestial Punishment Daoist’s influence, there might be a chance for him to become the champion, but it was only a possibility.

After all, within the Kunlun Sect, even though Celestial Punishment Daoist holds significant power, he can’t overshadow everything, and there are still many elders who are dissatisfied with him.

In this way, even Yun You only has a chance. How could those with mid-tier or lower strength like them have the confidence to be champions?!

Perceiving the desire in their envious eyes, Celestial Punishment Daoist remained unmoved, let out a cold snort as he hung the gourd back around his neck, waking the two from their fantasy.

The sacred medicine, true to its name, worked wonders. Moments after Yun You consumed it, his flushed complexion returned to normal, and the bruised areas began to fade.

Noticing Yun You’s steady breathing, Celestial Punishment Daoist stood up: "Take me to find that scoundrel!"

Yun He and Yun Mie exchanged a look, then carefully lifted the still-unconscious Yun You and plunged into the dense forest, acting as both porters and guides.

Celestial Punishment Daoist, face dark as iron, followed, with Ghost Face close behind, as the group moved forward, one foot in front of the other.

——

"Bingxuan..."

Xiao Tian had barely begun to speak when Lin Bingxuan interjected, "Now’s not the time to talk. Let’s inform Mr. Ghost Face quickly and leave here first."

Melinda, standing nearby, nodded. Though her intervention seemed untimely, she couldn’t help but agree, "That’s right. After all, this is Kunlun Sect’s territory. Even if our strength returns to its peak, we can’t contend with an entire sect!"

"It’s okay!" Xiao Tian showed no signs of tension, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit, "I want to see how powerful this Celestial Punishment Daoist truly is!"

"I imagine you’ve suffered quite a bit these days. Watch me vent your anger for you!" Xiao Tian looked at Lin Bingxuan with a hint of pity, gently caressing her slightly reddened cheek.

"I understand your thoughts, but your injuries haven’t healed yet." Lin Bingxuan gently took Xiao Tian’s hand away, earnestly advising, "Let’s talk about it when you recover. Okay?"

After speaking, Lin Bingxuan added, "Now, let’s figure out how to contact Mr. Ghost Face..."

Before she finished, Xiao Tian and Melinda’s brows furrowed simultaneously, the latter offering a wry smile, "There’s no need. They’re already here!"

As soon as she spoke, a voice, suppressing fury, echoed, "On Kunlun Sect’s grounds, to harm one of our disciples—what nerve!"

Lin Bingxuan’s brows instantly knitted, watching the group emerge from the forest with rising anxiety.

"Long time no see!" Ghost Face, at the back of the group, greeted Xiao Tian while walking towards him.

Xiao Tian smiled in response, "Long time no see!"

Seeing them exchange friendly words like old friends, Celestial Punishment Daoist burst into rage, "Do you think I don’t exist?" As he spoke, an imposing aura pressed down upon them.

Xiao Tian and Melinda stepped forward simultaneously, shielding the relatively weaker Lin Bingxuan behind them, their expressions involuntarily shifting.

Judging from the aura alone, this Celestial Punishment Daoist of Kunlun Sect was no weaker than Dao Yi Sect’s Master Guangmie!

"Oh dear!" Xiao Tian, seeing Yun You looking like a pig head, beamed a heated smile, "Your sect is truly courteous, giving such a generous gift upon meeting. Indeed, the hospitality is impeccable!"

Listening to Xiao Tian’s words, Celestial Punishment Daoist wondered if this person was insane.

And why had he never seen him before?

"What do you mean?" Celestial Punishment Daoist immediately locked onto Xiao Tian, demanding in a voice as cold as the desire to freeze all things.

"Exactly what I said!" Xiao Tian smiled, continuing towards Celestial Punishment Daoist under immense pressure, extending his hand as if to shake, "Thank you for the pig offering."

Celestial Punishment Daoist’s eyes suddenly filled with blood, twice humiliated in such a manner had him on the verge of exploding!

"Die!"

With a roar, Celestial Punishment Daoist’s sword unsheathed itself, then perfectly landed in his hand when he reached skyward, resembling a juggler performer.

Xiao Tian immediately dropped his jovial demeanor, adopting a serious expression, then slapped his leg, drawing a dagger, and without halting, charged at Celestial Punishment Daoist.

"Clang clang!"

In a blink, dual metal clashes resonated through the clearing, forcing Xiao Tian to retreat several steps under the powerful force, each step leaving a five-centimeter-deep footprint.

Though the snow was exceedingly deep, even a heavyset person could only make a two-centimeter impression with deliberate effort.

Xiao Tian wasn’t such a heavyweight, yet he left deeper prints than a heavyset person, clearly due to Celestial Punishment Daoist’s recoil force.

Celestial Punishment Daoist also took two steps back, but still appeared to have the upper hand!

Though a dagger fares poorly against a longsword, upon seeing the two grain-sized chips on his dagger, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but marvel; the opponent’s weapon was likely a Spirit Treasure level artifact!

The second round quickly began, where Celestial Punishment Daoist once again wielded his longsword like a broadsword, slashing downward aggressively.

Xiao Tian sheathed his dagger, unleashing his Body Technique to the fullest, appearing behind his opponent in an instant, his fist striking towards Celestial Punishment Daoist’s back.

Missing with his sword, Celestial Punishment Daoist couldn’t help but be amazed by the opponent’s speed, hurriedly channeling Protective True Qi, simultaneously spinning around to sweep with his sword again.

He truly couldn’t believe that the opponent would risk everything just to land a punch.

At this moment, Lin Bingxuan and others, anxiously observing, couldn’t remain idle, with Ghost Face taking the lead by throwing a rhomboid crystal intercepting the sword’s trajectory.

Lin Bingxuan floated lightly over the snow, standing behind Xiao Tian, delivering a refined energy into him.

Celestial Punishment Daoist, seeing Ghost Face’s move again, gritted his teeth in anger, avoiding the crystal with a sword maneuver, realizing he couldn’t evade Xiao Tian’s punch.

However, Celestial Punishment Daoist wasn’t overly concerned, having accurately gauged Xiao Tian’s strength during their encounter, certain that even if Xiao Tian could breach his Protective True Qi, the remaining force would cause minimal harm.

After all, how much damage could a weakling cause, even at full force?!
