Chapter 22

In the house, after Pei Ling left, Li Siguang and the other two helped each other up and applied treatment. In the middle of it, they brushed off the patrolling disciples. At this moment, they were discussing how to deal with Pei Ling. “If we had known that this guy was so good at fighting, we should have kept our cool and waited longer. We could have done it after he fell asleep.”

“Anyway, we already attacked him. It’s useless to say this now.” Miao Cheng’an, who had the most violent temper, said, “He’s a new disciple who’s unfamiliar with the place, and he’s poor. Where else can he go? He must still be on this Shady Sophora Peak. Send some people to find him tomorrow. Make sure they search every inch of the mountain to find him!”

“After we find him, I want to interrogate him about how he cultivated superior-grade iron bones,” Li Siguang said in a gloomy voice. His broken leg was already in a splint. After consuming the healing pills his grandfather gave him, he could recover quickly. In a few days, he would be as good as new.

However, the fear and humiliation of having his leg bone forcefully broken by Pei Ling made Li Siguang reveal deep resentment in his voice, “This bastard comes from a humble background, but with such abilities, he must have some secrets.”

Before he finished speaking, the three sensed the unlocking of their residence’s restriction. Before they could react, the door was already kicked open with a bang.

They were startled, and before they could do anything, a ghostly figure flashed in the next moment, charging straight at Li Siguang.

Pei Ling was expressionless. He raised the saber and slashed down, and the Life-Extinguishing Blade slashed at his head with a sharp whistling sound.

Although Li Siguang was heavily injured, he was not flustered. He quickly formed hand seals, and two spirits appeared behind him. They raised their heads and let out a howl.

It was just that this attack that had made Pei Ling suffer not long ago was ineffective at this moment. Pei Ling did not stop at all as the Life-Extinguishing Blade slashed down with lightning speed.

Miao Cheng’an kicked Li Siguang in the stomach, forcefully kicking him to the side at this crucial moment.

Slash!

An arm flew up into the air, and Pei Ling grabbed it.

Li Siguang screamed in intense pain!

The turn of events was too sudden. Even with the help of Miao Cheng’an, he could barely avoid death, and he did not manage to escape from the Lifegiving Blade completely.

“Pei Ling!” Zhou Yi couldn’t help but scream when he saw this. “You still dare to come back?!”

Bronze-colored patterns surfaced as the Green Ghost Battle Body activated again. He punched out with both fists aiming at Pei Ling’s chest and dantian.

“Do you really think that you can dominate the outer sect with sheer luck?!” Miao Cheng’an helped Li Siguang up. With a flip of his wrist, he took out a blood-red medicinal pill and stuffed it into his companion’s mouth. He turned around and stood up, shouting coldly, “You reckless bastard… Die!”

Blood flowed from his seven apertures in an instant. Three air blades appeared in front of him, and they flew in a strange route toward Pei Ling.

Pei Ling was anxious inside, but he seemed calm on the outside. His body ignored Zhou Yi and Miao Cheng’an, continuing to hack at Li Siguang with his saber.

At the same time, the spiritual power in his body circulated, and power formed by his blood essence flowed to the palm of his left hand that was holding the broken arm. Li Siguang’s broken arm seemed to respond to the command as a layer of bloody mist burst forth and threaded into the air like red silk.

It paused in the air for a moment before it suddenly threw itself to the side and enveloped the Life-Extinguishing Blade! Immediately after, the broken arm withered and rotted. It collapsed like quicksand when the wind blew past it, turning into ashes in an instant.

Bam!

Zhou Yi punched Pei Ling in the chest.

The system did not hesitate to send a notification. “Ding Dong! An external attack has been detected. This cultivation session is over. Thank you for using the smart cultivation system. You have ascended without a worry with a single click! I will look forward to you sharing the cultivation experience. If you are satisfied, please give me a five-star rating!”

Like the other time, the system withdrew quickly.

Pei Ling could not be bothered to scold the retarded system as he jumped back to dodge Zhou Yi’s other punch by a hair’s breadth, but three Qi blades came right after. In a split second, he made a quick decision. He avoided two to his throat and knees while using the Life-Extinguishing Blade to slash at the last Qi blade.

Clang!

The Qi blade shattered, but Pei Ling was unaffected. He could not help but be delighted. Miao Cheng’an’s Qi blade could cause numbness in his wrist earlier. Now that he had cultivated the Blood MalevolenceSaber Art, he could actually withstand an attack with ease!

Right on the heels of that, he could not be bothered by the three people’s angry shouts as his figure crossed over to avoid Zhou Yi. Like before, he slashed at Li Siguang again.

He wanted to take out the weakest first. Li Siguang had lost an arm, presenting an opportunity to get rid of him quickly!

Moreover, the system might be immune to the howls of Li Siguang’s two spirits. He could not do the same.

If his Life-Extinguishing Blade got hacked away like what occurred earlier, he would definitely die!

Li Siguang had already broken his leg, and he had just lost an arm. Even though Miao Cheng’an had fed him medicinal pills in time to save his life, he was still weak! Seeing the Life-Extinguishing Blade coming at him, he originally wanted to command the spirits to continue howling to stop Pei Ling. However, when he thought of the scene just now, he was afraid that he would fail again and cost him his life. He did not dare to take any chances, and without caring about the pain in his body, he hurriedly rolled to the side in an attempt to avoid the slash.

However, since he did not cultivate his physique, his speed was already inferior to Pei Ling, who was used to crossing mountains, even when he was healthy.

He had only crawled away for two steps when the Life-Extinguishing Blade had already sliced through the back of his neck. Like his broken arm, the head flew up into the air, and blood spurted out of the severed neck.

“Si Guang!!!” Zhou Yi and Miao Cheng’an’s eyes widened in anger. The three of them had been together since they entered the sect. Although they had done plenty of harm to others, they had some genuine friendships with each other. At this moment, when Li Siguang got beheaded in front of them, how could they not be bitter?

Zhou Yi only felt a buzzing sound as all the blood in his body rushed to his brain. He yelled and rushed up like a mad tiger, punching randomly.

However, Miao Cheng’an’s eyes flashed as his face turned ashen.

Not a single drop of the blood from Li Siguang landed on the ground! It did not land anywhere else either—they became sucked into the blood mist that was wrapped around the Life-Extinguishing Blade as if they were summoned!

The color of the blood mist became even brighter as a result, and it suddenly left the Life-Extinguishing Blade and pounced on Li Siguang’s corpse. In an instant, the freshly dead, plump corpse rapidly shriveled and wilted! The blood mist appeared again and returned to the Life-Extinguishing Blade. The blood mist became even thicker, and there was a shadowy figure flickering within it. It was Li Siguang.

Soon, however, the blood mist surged, shredding Li Siguang’s face into pieces. After letting out a mournful wail, he vanished into the blood mist.

Miao Cheng’an cried out, “What kind of skill is this?!”

Pei Ling had no time to answer him, and even he was shocked by what happened. As expected of Fairy Li, this Blood Malevolence Saber Art was truly ferocious! His random swinging of the saber from a while ago was no more as he now wielded the Life-Extinguishing Blade with ease. The saber’s movements became unpredictable, forcing the determined Zhou Yi back.

Upon seeing this scene, Miao Cheng’an knew that there was no way to resolve this at this rate. A hint of ruthlessness flashed through his eyes. He clenched his teeth, took out the talisman that he had almost used previously, and began to input spiritual power.

Pei Ling’s pupils constricted when he saw this, and he hurriedly charged towards Miao Cheng’an. Zhou Yi must have known how powerful that talisman of Miao Cheng’an was, and he desperately stepped forward to stop Pei Ling like a madman.

Slash!

Pei Ling quickly cleaved down with his blade, leaving a bloody mark on Zhou Yi’s chest as blood splattered all over his face.

He did not have the time to finish Zhou Yi off at the moment and rushed towards Miao Cheng’an swiftly.. The talisman’s aura in Miao Cheng’an’s hand grew ghastly, and it seemed like he was about to unleash a terrifying attack!
