Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Killing All Around
Translator: 549690339
“If I hadn’t consumed too much energy earlier, 1 could have killed you with a backhand, given your strength!”
“That’s right, a weakling like you can only rely on a war of attrition to barely exchange a few blows with me!”
While suppressing his opponent’s attacks, Lu Yun continued to provoke them verbally.
Previously, when facing the third-rank Demon Beast, Xiao Chen severely injured the beast, causing it to go completely berserk. This allowed Lu Yun to seize the opportunity and kill it with a single strike!
He was employing the same strategy now!
“Young man, I admit that your talent and strength are quite impressive, but such arrogance often leads to unfavorable outcomes!”
Although Qin Meng was somewhat annoyed, he was a seasoned veteran and skilled in the arts of deception due to his experiences with the White Lotus Sect and the court. He wouldn’t be easily enraged by Lu Yun’s taunts.
As he spoke, Qin Meng altered his saber technique, suddenly unleashing more than a dozen strands of saber Qi. The sharp cuts tore through the air, making a sizzling noise, all aimed at Lu Yun.
Unlike the True Qi controlled by those in the Meridian Passage Realm, the True Qi wielded by those in the True Qi Realm was more powerful and refined after being carefully cultivated. Martial Artists could wield it more accurately and flexibly, using weapons such as sabers or swords to unleash powerful saber Qi and sword Qi.
As such, he had enough confidence to defeat or even kill Lu Yun, believing it wouldn’t take long.
With the initial onslaught from the archers, followed by the attrition of more than 200 subordinates, he didn’t think that Lu Yun, who was merely in the late Meridian Passage Realm, could hold on for long.
His assumptions were not without merit. For most people or even geniuses at this stage, they would not have much True Qi to spare, and prolonged battles would quickly deplete their reserves.
However, his opponent was Lu Yun, a genius who had cultivated the Mix Origin Technique to an unprecedented level and reached the Perceive Truth Realm.
Additionally, he had cultivated the Pure Yang Aura to great accomplishment, opening up eight meridians. At this point, Lu Yun’s Pure Yang Aura was far superior to that of his same-level peers in both quality and quantity.
In fact, Qin Meng was just a lowly bandit. With the support of the White Lotus Sect, he had barely managed to refine his True Qi once.
With such a foundation and strength, he was destined never to encounter a true genius, let alone a monster like Lu Yun who relied solely on his cultivation skills.
“Massacre All Directions!”
As Lu Yun activated the second move of the Seven Kill Saber Technique, he seemed to be possessed by a god of killing. Two red cold glints shot from his eyes, and his body was enveloped in a dense, faint-red killing intent.
The almost tangible killing intent caused the surrounding air temperature to plummet.
At the same time, his in-body Pure Yang Aura surged like a spring, pouring into his tiger-head broadsaber, and the formidable, domineering saber Qi burst forth!
At this moment, Lu Yun’s not-so-tall figure suddenly became domineering and sharp, like a miniature killing god with an invincible posture.
“Roar!”
With a roar like thunder, he unleashed Massacre All Directions, transforming it into the most dazzling saber in the dark night, piercing through the air and shattering the darkness.
Qin Meng’s pupils shrunk as he stared intently at the approaching saber, his body trembling uncontrollably. Under the terrifying killing intent, his mind stalled for a moment, his body feeling as if it was restrained by some force.
By the time he recovered, Lu Yun’s domineering figure and the most dazzling saber in the darkness had grown infinitely large in his pupils.
“You…how…why…are you…so…strong…”
After uttering the last word, a line of blood blossomed from his neck.
Subsequently, his pupils widened, and the big head with a face full of muscles, as if dragged by some force, separated from Qin Meng’s robust body and flew away!
“To force me to use the second move of the Seven Kill Saber Technique, you deserve to die!” Lu Yun walked over and kicked Qin Meng’s stiff body to the ground.
He then looked down at the broken blade on the ground, slightly shaking his head in regret: “I used too much force, what a pity!”
Just now, he concentrated all his spirit and will, infused the accumulated peak killing intent and Great Accomplishment Pure Yang Aura into the tiger-head broadsaber. The resulting power was too ferocious, and it ended up severing both Qin Meng’s head and saber in one strike!
However, this result was both expected and unexpected.
At this moment, a sudden shout rang out, pulling Lu Yun’s gaze back from the broken blade.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
Having just finished off the last archer, Xiao Chen discovered that Yun Feiyan and Wu Sheng had quietly tried to slip away.
Did they think they could escape?
That was simply impossible!
Although most of the people in White Cloud Villa had already been killed, Xiao Chen and Lu Yun’s primary target for this trip had been the White Lotus Sect. If they let these two escape, half of their mission would be considered a failure!
Planning to escape in front of them? Definitely not happening!
Xiao Chen’s figure flickered, and a sword light suddenly sparkled in the darkness of the night, instantly catching up with the two.
Seeing this, Wu Sheng immediately drew his blade, shouting: “Junior Sister Yun, go ahead, I’ll hold them off!”
“Alright, 1’11 make sure to take good care of your wife and child in the future!” Yun Feiyan said as she turned and left.
“Overestimating your abilities!”
Looking at Wu Sheng, who had chosen to stay behind, a cold flash appeared in Xiao Chen’s eyes, and his sword slashed out like a dragon!
With no intention of drawing back, Xiao Chen’s sword struck, not even bothering to glance at Wu Sheng. He flew past his side, pursuing the fleeing Yun Feiyan.
As soon as he left, a blood-red dot like cinnabar suddenly appeared in the middle of Wu Sheng’s brow, who was still standing with his blade.
The cinnabar-like red dot rapidly grew in size, followed by a surge of blood. At the same time, Wu Sheng, who appeared completely normal, toppled backward.
His eyes widened in shock, as if he had seen something unbelievable before his death.
“Demoness, stop!”
Xiao Chen quickly caught up with Yun Feiyan, stepping on a large rock and leaping into the air. He passed over Yun Feiyan and landed gracefully in front of her.
His cold gaze fell on her enchanting figure, as if looking at a woman in the midst of decay.
Yun Feiyan smiled charmingly, her red lips gently parting like two blossoming petals.
“Both of you can be considered Heavenly Prides even in the entirety of Ling Province. Instead of staying in a small Flying Spirit Martial Academy, why not join my White Lotus Sect? There, various cultivation techniques and pills would be within easy reach, and your cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds. Isn’t that a much better option?”
Xiao Chen calmly said, “How can evil demons like you be qualified to have me join you?”
Yun Feiyan’s lips curled into a smile, making her even more stunningly beautiful. She giggled, “Eight hundred years ago, the human race in the Nine Provinces was under the protection of the ‘evil demons’ you speak of. Without us, they would have long become food for the monsters!”
“The Law of Nature is unkind, treating all creatures as mere playthings. You evil demons ruthlessly consume the essence of the human race for your own selfish gains, dividing and monopolizing resources, and even using humans as your cauldron to strengthen yourselves. How can you speak of protecting the human race with such actions!”
As he spoke, Xiao Chen’s eyes revealed a crazed killing intent, as if he couldn’t wait to slaughter all the evil demons in his path!
