Rampage, Every Sword Strike Kills

Ye Lingyuan summoned her Martial Soul, the Blazing Spirit Kite. Violent flames swirled around her, accompanied by eight Spirit Rings.

The pressure of a Soul Douluo immediately brought the hundreds of wolf bandits to a halt, though none retreated. Their low growls continued as they stared fixedly at Ye Lingyuan and Ji Wushuang.

Ji Wushuang asked, "Aunt Ye, does this count as cheating?"

Ye Lingyuan smiled. "No. After all, I haven't actually made a move—I merely released my Martial Soul. Fight your own battle and don't mind what I do."

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

Another eight flying swords flew from their sheaths and joined Light Frost and Cloud Shuttle. A Sword Formation containing 3,628,800 variations formed in an instant, leaving the hundreds of wolf bandits unable to defend themselves!

Every sword strike killed!

Other than the Ten Thousand Year Level Wolf Bandit Leader, who could withstand the flying swords' sharp edges, the remaining wolf bandits were no match for even a single exchange.

Watching Ji Wushuang remain calm and composed, relying on the Peerless Sword Casket and lightly moving his sword fingers to command ten flying swords in all manner of Sword Formations, Ye Lingyuan clicked her tongue in admiration. "Your Sword Control Technique is really cool."

Hearing that, Ji Wushuang smiled. "Want to learn? I can teach you."

Ye Lingyuan smiled and shook her head. "Better not."

In an instant.

The hundreds of wolf bandits all died beneath Ji Wushuang's sword, and every one of them had died in exactly the same manner—their heads had been severed.

Only the Wolf Bandit Leader remained standing, but its entire body was covered in sword wounds, making for a miserable sight.

The ten flying swords circled around the wolf bandit.

It had no path to the heavens, no way into the earth, and nowhere to escape.

"Fourth Spirit Skill, Sky-Rending Sword Wave!" Ji Wushuang said coldly.

In an instant, the ten flying swords slashed out sword light from ten different positions, tearing through space and converging at one point.

"Splash!"

Dozens of neatly cut chunks of flesh, along with blood and organs, scattered across the ground.

Ye Lingyuan's willow brows furrowed slightly at the sight.

When she looked at Ji Wushuang again, she discovered a strange scarlet tint filling his eyes.

"Wushuang? Wushuang! Wushuang, what's wrong with you?!"

Ye Lingyuan called out several times in succession. When Ji Wushuang ignored her, she hurried forward to check on him.

"Aunt Ye, I'm fine!" The scarlet in Ji Wushuang's eyes receded, while the fiery red glow at the center of the Peerless Sword Casket beside him quietly faded away.

Ye Lingyuan asked worriedly, "What happened to you just now? I called you, but you ignored me completely!"

"Nothing. I just got carried away with the killing." Ji Wushuang smiled faintly and casually recalled the ten flying swords.

"You got carried away with the killing, and you call that nothing?" Ye Lingyuan's eye twitched. "You absolutely cannot have an accident. If anything happens to you, I'll bear full responsibility."

Ji Wushuang looked uneasily toward the center of the Peerless Sword Casket. Hidden there was the true terror within the Peerless Sword Casket—the demonic sword, Great Bright Vermilion Bird!

"Aunt Ye, shouldn't we check whether any of these wolf bandits have Spirit Bones?" Ji Wushuang looked at the wolf bandit corpses covering the ground and the Spirit Rings scattered among them. They were all thousand-year purple rings, while the Wolf Bandit Leader's Spirit Ring was a ten-thousand-year black one.

"That's true." Ye Lingyuan waved a hand.

Waves of violent flames swept forth, engulfing the wolf bandit corpses and burning them to ashes.

The scent of roasted meat drifted through the air.

Ji Wushuang could not bring himself to eat creatures like wolf bandits, which were half-beast and half-human. Otherwise, he would not have minded tasting one. If they had been Gale Demonic Wolves instead, he would have had no such reservations.

Before long, all the wolf bandit corpses had been reduced to ashes. Even their bones had become brittle, crumbling into powder with a single step.

However, one Spirit Bone remained intact, emitting a faint green glow. It came from the Wolf Bandit Leader's left leg.

"A Left Leg Spirit Bone. An unexpected gain."

Ye Lingyuan's eyes lit up. She removed the Spirit Bone from the Wolf Bandit Leader's remains and handed it to Ji Wushuang.

"Here, your spoils of war."

"However, this wolf bandit was less than Twenty Thousand Year old."

"You're exceptionally talented, and your future achievements will be limitless. There's no need for you to absorb this Spirit Bone. Its age is a little too low for you, so I don't recommend absorbing it."

Ji Wushuang accepted the Spirit Bone, and Xie Yue's figure flashed through his mind. After thinking it over, he decided against it. "We should take it back and let Teacher handle it."

"That works too." Ye Lingyuan smiled faintly. "Alright, don't rest yet. Our mission isn't finished. Continue your performance."

At her words, Ji Wushuang entered the Cavern once more.

Ye Lingyuan followed closely behind, remaining alert for any danger from the rear.

Not long after.

The two stopped at a corner. In the enormous Cavern before them, there were not only a dozen or so adult wolf bandits, but also wolf bandit cubs.

The adult wolf bandits' auras were far weaker than those Ji Wushuang had killed earlier.

As for the wolf bandit cubs, they were about as strong as hundred-year Spirit Beasts.

Corpses littered the Cavern. Some still had flesh and bite marks from sharp teeth on them. It was difficult to imagine what these people had experienced before their deaths.

"Finger-Twisting Softness, go!"

The Peerless Sword Casket burst open, and a cold gleam flashed.

His first and second Spirit Rings lit up in succession.

Finger-Twisting Softness, combining flexibility and sharpness, pierced through one Wolf Bandit after another like a thunder dragon.

In an instant.

Nothing remained in the cavern but Wolf Bandit corpses. No survivors were left.

Ye Lingyuan stared at Ji Wushuang for a long while before finally withdrawing her gaze and flinging out a blaze.

"Now that you've killed these little wolf pups, how do you feel?" Ye Lingyuan asked.

Ji Wushuang replied, "I don't feel anything. Only one thing—uproot the grass and remove the roots!"

"What I hate most is leaving things half-done!"

Ye Lingyuan fell silent in thought upon hearing this.

A long while later.

Sax and the others had already cleared out the Wolf Bandits in the cavern and gathered outside. Their clothes were stained with blood, but it was all Wolf Bandit blood.

"Rumble—"

A pillar of fire shot into the sky, utterly destroying the Wolf Bandit Nest. The maze-like cavern was completely buried. Even if any survivors remained, they would not live long.

After the pillar of fire dissipated, Ye Lingyuan hovered in midair on a pair of Fiery Wings behind her back, while Ji Wushuang remained suspended through the Sword Control Technique, though there was no sword beneath his feet.

Ye Lingyuan said, "Two or three hundred Wolf Bandits could slaughter an army of ten thousand, yet the dozen or so of us were able to slaughter this pack of Wolf Bandits. You alone wiped out over a hundred of them. I'm sure Your Excellency the Pope will be very pleased when she learns of this."

"Unless something unexpected happens, Your Excellency the Pope should agree to let you leave Spirit City and venture out for training."

Ji Wushuang took a deep breath. "It's hard to guess what Teacher is thinking. There's no guarantee she won't set more tests for me."

"Before we left, Teacher told me this was the first test she had arranged for me. If there's a first, there'll be a second, a third, an endless number of them..."

"As long as Teacher doesn't want me to leave Spirit City, she can come up with countless reasons."

Ye Lingyuan smiled awkwardly. "I didn't expect you to have considered that."

Ji Wushuang shook his head helplessly.

He already understood Bibi Dong very thoroughly, especially her personality.
