Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Killing to Verify the Path

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Unfortunately this person’s luck isn’t good. If he was given ten years time before we met, maybe he might have given me an even bigger surprise...”

Li Yaling cultivated in the path of the killing sword, while Zong Shou was using fighting on the brink of death to train up his sword.

Although there was a slight difference between the two, they were both just killing people! They both needed numerous experts to be sacrificed to their sword path!

If this Li Yaling could reached Ascended Realm or even Grandmaster before fighting him, the benefits he received would definitely have been larger.

As for whether or not he would lose and die, such things were never within what he considered.

In his last life in real life and in the game, tens of thousands of intense battles had long developed a crazy amount of self confidence.

His own sword was naturally something no one could block, no one could beat, and no one was his match! It could kill everything and destroy everyone!

His few soft sighs were so soft that they were pretty much unheard. Li Yunniang’s face flushed red, feeling a bit of hotness on her face, like someone had just slapped her viciously.

She only felt that all the shameful things she had done in the past twenty years added together wasn’t as bad as what had happened today.

She was feeling gleeful and treated Zong Shou as a dead man, happily chatting with Ren Qianchou and the others. Then she personally witnessed three of the Seven Yunxia swords die one by one at his hands.

She didn’t want to see Zong Shou get smug, and started to brag and praise Li Yaling... and then she witnessed a battle that could shock the whole of Donglin Cloud Continent. A moment ago she watched with her eyes wide as the head of the Hundred Thousand Blood Killer Li Yaling was chopped off in one stroke by Zong Shou.

“The Prince really hid things deep, your sword art is strong. However you better pray that the person Yunxia Mountain lord sent over isn’t Li Yaling! With your little ability, he will kill you like a dog...”

The words she said not long ago rang out in her ears. Thinking about them now, she had an urge to dig a hole in the ground and jump into it in shame.

It wasn’t false to say that Li Yaling’s luck was too bad.

—————-

Zong Shou didn’t bother about her, trying his best to recall something. He remembered a spiritual technique in his memory.

He immediately made a hand sign and two blue lights appeared in his eyes. All things around him were instantly magnified.

Li Yunniang’s face instantly became huge in front of his eyes. Zong Shou was disgusted and started to pay attention to where Chuxue and that spirit master were at. His field of vision had been pulled closer and everything within a few miles could be clearly seen.

-So this is the spirit master’s Vision Expanding Technique. Unfortunately I’m blocked by trees and unable to see clearly. I remember that X-ray Vision technique, but to be able to use it I have to be at the Return to Sun Realm or have Spiritual Artifacts aiding me...-

Suppressing the feeling of novelty in his heart, Zong Shou was barely able to find a small gap in the trees and see what was happening ten miles out.

Chuxue’s body was like that of a cat, shifting around an altar and a few strong Grade Three spirit beasts.

The Rising Moon Lion which was hiding at the corner had actually not even made its move. Chuxue also didn’t appear to be in a tough situation.

Every time a spirit technique was launched, she would be able to cut off its source before it was able to open up and gather its power, just like a few months ago when he killed Qi Xiao.

At that time what he relied on was deep and profound talisman path techniques, while Chuxue was relying on her shocking intuition.

There were many times when she was wrong, and was only able to crush around thirty percent of the spiritual techniques. However, Chuxue was always able to safely dodge at the last moment, forcing the spirit master inside the altar to sweat cold beads. As time went on, her dodging techniques became more and more fluid and instinctive.

The corners of Zong Shou’s lips rose up. As expected, the sparrow catching had paid off. Unfortunately the time was too short and she hadn’t truly trained it up.

Shaking his head, Zong Shou stopped the hand sign and dissipated the technique. He didn’t need to think about it, and knew that Chuxue was definitely going to lose.

However, a thought came to mind and he decided not to help her. Since he was developing her into someone he relied on to protect him, he had to be more vicious.

Anyways, with the Rising Moon Lion keeping a lookout she was in no danger. To borrow the ability of others to train her skills was a fortunate thing.

Placing down the worry in his heart, Zong Shou looked ahead. He reached out his hand and sucked the blood sword which had fallen into the mud to him.

There weren’t any signs of evil arts, and apart from a nose-piercing stench, there weren’t any vengeance energy or other problems.

However, the killing intent was really strong. Just holding it in his hand, a crazy killing intent rose in his mind, his eyes started to turn red and he started to lose his mind.

In that short moment, it was like he had gone through Li Yaling’s life, a full fourteen years of sword cultivation.

Started training at four, killing at eight, sixteen years old killing a total of ten thousand, reaching Xiantian. Seventeen years old slaughter wife and mom and also his own child.

These memories were muddily recorded within the blood sword. Li Yaling’s remaining mental energy seal crashed down on Zong Shou’s mind.

“Kill kill kill kill! Kill more, kill a hundred thousand and I will be invincible! Kill a hundred thousand and I will be able to comprehend the end of the killing sword!”

That mental energy was really intense, but Zong Shou just scoffed coldly and his eyes returned to normal, looking clear and unaffected.

He was astonished, despite himself. This sword was actually the one used to kill the ten thousand, his mother, and his wife!

Who knows how that Li Yaling managed to do this. Even if ten thousand people lined up for him to kill, it would also take a few days.

“So this is a sword nurturing technique. Who knows where this Li Yaling learned such a good technique from, to be able to do so as a marital cultivation. Wait no, he should have cultivated some soul power...”

He didn’t pay much attention as he used his finger to tap the blood sword.

In the next moment, he felt a much stronger intent reject the entry of his soul power and clash with his mind.

“You want to control my mind with so little power?” Zong Shou’s eyes sharpened. After coming to this era, what he wasn’t afraid of the most was a clash of intents!

His thoughts changed slightly, and the mental seal on the blood sword started to break apart. The blood sword seemed to have lost its powers as its glow dimmed.

Wiping away the last bit of intent within the sword, Zong Shou casually threw it to the side. Although the material of the sword was good, unfortunately its killing intent was too strong and wasn’t suitable to be use as food for Little Gold. After breaking the mental seal on the item, he stopped it from becoming an evil weapon.

Using his intent to scour his corpse, Zong Shou’s brow furrowed.

“He is someone who killed twenty Martial Ancestors, isn’t he a little too poor! Why doesn’t he have a single beast crystal! Eh?” he exclaimed, pulling out an item from his waist bag. It was a fist-sized white pearl. Looking carefully, he couldn’t help but smile. He was truly getting whatever he wanted.

As for Ren Qianchou and the other two, they had no items. Zong Shou sent his intent over to search deeply while he shook his head in disappointment.

There were only a few bottles of pills and some Grade Three beast crystals, which wasn’t much to him. He really didn’t have a mood to scour those corpses.

On the other hand, he was slightly interested in the woman near him.

Turning his head, he saw Li Yunniang’s fists gripped tightly, her face turning green as she stood a few dozen yards away.

Who knows if it was because she was affected by the killing intent that had exploded out, but those beautiful legs were shaking slightly. She tried her best to suppress it, her teeth grit tight and her eyes vicious.

Zong Shou grinned and felt slightly interested. He was delighted inside, but his face was dark, looking coldly at her. “Li Yunniang, should I kill you now, or let you live?”

Li Yunniang’s body trembled and a deep sense of helplessness surged up. Her chin was raised and her body upright, thinking that she was definitely dead this time.

This person was obviously someone of the Out of Body Realm, but had killed even that Hundred Thousand Blood Killer Li Yaling. He was somehow able to hide it until now and let everyone think that he was a piece of trash. There had to be some reason for that...

She knew so many secrets, but she wasn’t someone he trusted. Along with the words that he said before, she probably had no chance of surviving.

Just as she wanted to say “Kill me if you want, why are you talking so much crap?”, she saw a look of hesitation appear on Zong Shou’s face as he sighed.

“You are Yiren’s maid, even if I want to deal with you, she should be the one to do it. It is inappropriate for me to act..”

Some hope rose in her heart. Her will to die valiantly had started to weaken.

-That’s right, I still have Miss! With her here, this Zong Shou won’t kill me!-

Then her heart sank once more. She knew so many of his secrets. This person acted so viciously, how would he not kill her to shut her up?

Seeing Li Yunniang’s face look so uncertain, sometimes dark, sometimes bright. Her eyes revealed a hopeful glow before calming down. Zong Shou found it more and more interesting as he looked around himself. He reached out and picked up one of the floating chrysanthemums in the forest.

“If I don’t kill you, you might spoil my plans, but if I do I’m unable to explain to Yiren. Let’s use this to decide your fate how about that? Odd you die, even you will live! Odd, even, odd, even...”

He counted as he plucked off the petals from it. Li Yunniang’s heart couldn’t help but tighten up. She was feeling really nervous, his shouts of odd and even made her heart feel like a rollercoaster.

Her eyes were wide as she tried her best to see how many petals there were. However a portion of them were blocked by Zong Shou’s hand, and she couldn’t see properly.

The number of petals got lesser and lesser, her heart chilled once more. Only five petals were left, it was actually odd...

Just as she felt despair, Zong Shou grasped with his hand and crushed the petals, teasingly smiling, “You really believed that? You woman are just so dumb...”

Li Yunniang was immediately startled, only after a while did she realize that Zong Shou was just playing with her from the start. From start to finish, he didn’t have any killing intent, but unfortunately she felt so threatened and afraid she didn’t notice it...

Lian Fan couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.

Zong Shou’s face didn’t show any mocking expression. He only felt disgusted towards this woman, and if it wasn’t for Yiren, he would have just killed her with one stroke.

Shaking his head, Zong Shou looked to the side, only to see Chuxue smiling widely as she walked over, carrying a head.
