SCP Gacha System In A Cultivation World

"I was thinking of asking your name but since you want to look at me with such a look, it'll be better to kill you right here." Tang Wuying said.

The man who ordered the hit on his life for such an insignificant event stared at him straight in the face. The same man who he swore to end along with his entire ancestry stood in front of him. Just seeing him like this was enough to send his usually repressed emotions into a frenzy. He could just barely hold himself back from flying right into Tang's face. Even though he knew he stood no chance against him right now.

He still hasn't found a sky-ranked magical treasure that could compare to Tang's spirit weapon. He's gained a few lucky items but nothing that could aid him in killing Tang. Meeting his worst enemy at a time like this was unlucky. But then again... he could find out how he compares to Tang Wuying right now. He might not win but that didn't mean he'd lose. All of his training has been for the day he kills this man. He couldn't refuse the temptation to see how he stacked up against him right now! If he ran away today, he'd always run away from him in his heart. He could probably even be good enough to battle him to a standstill as long as he doesn't use that move that defeated Gong Jun.

Then he would have to retreat, or his life would be forfeit before he could even blink. Back then when he saw Tang Wuying pull off that move, he was part of the weak majority in the stands that couldn't trace his movements. Seeing the person he hates most, surpass him more than he already has made him pissed beyond belief. His rapidly growing strength only made Xun train 10x harder than he already does. Now he would have his chance to see if that torture, he calls training, needed to be increased.

In a huge burst of wind, Xun disappeared from his previous spot and appeared in front of Tang, swinging his fist right towards his face! This surprise attack was used with all of his strength and speed! If this one attack connects, then it'll do enough damage to weaken Tang! And if he's weakened, his chances of winning will be higher.

"Did you think that was fast enough to take me by surprise?" Xun's fist was suddenly soaring right next to Tang's head, instead of towards his face.

"I missed...?" Xun expressed in disbelief.

A surprise attack while holding nothing back was easily dodged by Tang. An attack that was quick enough to surprise another 9th stage Qi Gatherer was looked at as nothing more than child play in Tang's eyes.

"You're that Liuxian bastard, aren't you?" Tang asked as he allowed Xun to go flying past his shoulder.

Xun skillfully halted his lunge and turned around to face Tang.

"How did you dodge that?"

A vein propped up on Tang's forehead.

"Well, if you say so Junior Brother. But before I go, Xun Liuxian." Gong called out to him.

"Hm?" If he had to face both Gong and Tang at once, this place would become his grave. Running away from the both was a pipe dream.

"You don't know a person named Fu Kang, do you?" A strange gaze landed upon him.

"No. I never heard of that name before." Xun responded honestly.

He looked almost disappointed that Xun didn't know of this Fu Kang.

"Well alright. Thanks for honestly answering me. If you manage to survive against my Junior Brother, I'll be sure to send in a good word to Xiao Hong for you." He laughed.

"You shitty two-faced fox! Whose side are you on!?" Tang exploded at Gong.

"Haha, I'm just joking Little Tang. No need to get so upset. If you don't arrive at the tower an hour after I arrived, I'll come back to get your corpse." Gong innocently chuckled as he walked away.

Tang threw his boomerang towards the back of his ally seemingly aiming to kill him. Why would he throw away his weapon when he was in the middle of a fight? Xun didn't understand it but he would surely take advantage of the current situation! Xun blew out air tainted with the qi that became a part of him since the merging with the ancient lung. The air was one with him. It could be controlled however he wanted it.

And he would use it to send a flying punch towards the defenseless Tang! He created an air bubble in front of himself and with all of his strength, pulled his arm back and used his fist to strike out with frightening force! The bubble distorted from the impact and sent an invisible projectile straight towards Tang. This was truly an undefendable attack! If you couldn't see it, how could you defend against it?

"Did you think that I was weak without my sacred weapon? Just much are you going to underestimate me?" Tang suddenly appeared behind him!

The intense pain shooting up in his now cracked ribs as he was sent flying away made him realize that maybe he was outmatched far more than he thought he was. As his surroundings turned into a blur, he saw Tang catching his spirit weapon and his back feeling like it shattered into a thousand pieces after smashing through several trees. How could there be such a difference between them? Such a giant difference in strength between two cultivators of the same stage...

Xun's master was on the same level as Tang's master. The teachings he's received couldn't be any less than Tang's. There was only one reason why Tang could be this far ahead of him. It wasn't because of his background. Not because of his talent being higher than his. Nor was it because he trained harder than him. There was no way it was the last one.

It was all because of that spirit weapon he's gained. Tang's level of martial arts wasn't high. Gong Jun easily out skilled him in their duel. The only reason he lost in their duel was because he was taken by surprise. Xun could tell that his strength was only because of that weapon.

Tang becoming so strong because of that weapon caused all of his anger to bubble up inside his chest, creating a stuffy feeling inside him. A feeling that he couldn't control the more he stared at that arrogant look on Tang Wuying's face. Having him stand over him like this, condescendingly looking down on him, enraged Xun! After what he did to him, he still had the nerve to look at him with those cold eyes!

"Not as strong as what I heard from them." Tang spoke, thinking back to the words his followers told him.

"But then again, it's not like I was expecting much. If Xiao could be interested in trash of this level, then it shouldn't be too hard to have her fall in love with me." But the words of that annoying fox from earlier bothered him.

Why would someone of Xiao Hong's standing be interested in trash like this? As far as he could tell, it definitely wasn't his strength. And if he was comparing looks then he didn't lose out to this weakling either. Did he hold some sort of secret that wasn't connected to his strength? His qi was rather strange but so was his own. A cultivator having unusual qi didn't mean they were powerful. It just meant that they practiced a rare or uncommon martial art. Tang's special qi was because of his connection to Lord Tyanir. So, he was a unique case as far as having different qi went.

Could it be that Liuxian's qi had a special connection to Xiao Hong's? Or was the background of his qi related to the ancient blood of the Ice Giants? Just thinking about why Xiao was so interested in this guy pissed him off. It would be easier just to kill him and ask his father to send a marriage proposal to her family. Well, maybe it would be too soon for a marriage proposal. His father's city in comparison to the powerful background of the Hong's isn't equal in value. Maybe if he took over Crimson Ruby City, another city comparable his father's, then it could be tempting enough.

'But in any case, leaving this guy alive would hold no benefits to himself.'

Making up his mind to deal with this annoyance, Tang heaved his giant boomerang above his head. Tang could sense that the trash was trying something with his qi but no matter what it was it wouldn't save him from his death. He brought down the Apostle's weapon and prepared himself for the gory blood spray.

"If you reigned in that arrogance of yours then maybe you would've died less painfully." Tang sent him off with some wise parting words.

Or at least he believed he did. But the sudden pain running up his jaw along with the ground quickly becoming farther away made him think otherwise.
