A flicker of confusion crossed Flower Demon's face. "What do you mean, how?"

Li Ye coughed. "I mean, do you want to dual cultivate with me?"

Flower Demon pondered seriously while Li Ye studied her just as seriously.

Flower Demon said, "Your cultivation may be weak, but your physique seems quite powerful."

This damn charm.

Even a stunning beauty like Flower Demon had lost herself in it.

An unconsciously proud smile appeared on Li Ye's face.

"Very suitable to serve as nourishment for my Soul Devouring Great Law. As for dual cultivation, I've never considered it," Flower Demon said.

Li Ye's smile solidified. It felt as though ten thousand arrows had pierced his heart, wounding him to the core.

Cold. So damn cold.

Fuck, this woman still wouldn't give up on killing him.

Li Ye was extremely displeased.

Bang!

He slapped the Demoness's Baihui Acupoint atop her head. Her blood and qi immediately surged upward, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You!"

Flower Demon came to her senses and glared at Li Ye through gritted teeth.

No one knew her weakness, yet today it had been exposed to this bastard.

Flower Demon felt like she was going mad.

This was her greatest and most important secret.

"Flower Girl, Li is an honest man. I won't reveal your weakness to anyone."

"How about this? Give me your Spatial Storage Bag as hush money. What do you say?"

Li Ye spoke in the translated tone of those little Japanese from his past life.

Hearing Li Ye's strange, teasing accent, Flower Demon nearly ground her back teeth to pieces in fury.

This bastard was opening his Lion's Mouth far too wide.

Her Spatial Storage Bag was no ordinary item; it was worth no less than a Spirit Sword.

But Flower Demon knew she had no other choice.

"I hope you won't disappoint me."

"But you'll have to wait a moment. I can't summon any strength right now," Flower Demon said.

Upon hearing this, Li Ye stepped forward and pressed his large hand against Flower Demon's back, sending a stream of pure force into her.

Flower Demon hesitated for a moment, then formed a hand seal with one hand and condensed an ancient amulet, severing her connection with the Spatial Storage Bag.

A Spatial Storage Bag differed from a Spirit Sword. Its refinement method was extremely simple.

All it took was a drop of blood to freely store and retrieve items.

After taking Flower Demon's Spatial Storage Bag, Li Ye decisively dripped a drop of blood onto it.

"Flower Girl, farewell!"

Li Ye laughed loudly.

Flower Demon called out to stop him. "Wait. What's your name?"

What am I called?

"Li Bai!"

After thinking it over, Li Ye still gave the name he used at the Corpse Refining Courtyard.

Who could possibly connect the Li Ye of the Corpse Refining Courtyard with his current self?

With that, Li Ye gathered all his strength in his legs, kicked off fiercely, and shot into the air like a Cannonball.

He reached an altitude of over a hundred meters.

Then vanished from Flower Demon's sight.

"Li Bai?"

Flower Demon murmured the name, slightly lost in thought. Don't tell me he jumped all the way here like that?

Just how monstrous was that body?

Li Ye had run here when he came. Though jumping was faster, it also caused a great deal of commotion. Unless there was something especially urgent, he normally would not travel this way.

Once Flower Demon saw Li Ye leave, she immediately looked for a concealed patch of woods nearby and hid herself away.

Waiting for her cultivation to recover.

She was Flower Demon of the Devil Sect, blessed with a beauty capable of toppling kingdoms and cities. If her luck was poor and someone happened upon her in this state, her end would be utterly miserable.

Bang!

With a tremendous boom, the mountains shook and the earth trembled, dust billowing everywhere as Li Ye landed in a forest several hundred meters away.

This place was already very close to the outskirts of the Great Barren Forest.

Thus, Li Ye took several more great leaps, crossing several miles.

He was in a hurry now.

In a hurry to return and refine the Golden Ginseng.

Huh, it seemed he had stepped on something.

Li Ye lowered his head and saw a fellow beneath his foot, glaring furiously at him.

The man's chest had already been crushed, pierced through by Li Ye's foot, his internal organs having all exploded.

"You!"

The other man pointed at Li Ye with a trembling finger. Before he could finish a single sentence, his head lolled to the side, and he went to report to the Western Paradise.

"Brother, why did you have to run right under my foot when you were perfectly fine?"

"You can't scam me like this. You got my shoes covered in blood—hurry up and get up."

After Li Ye spoke, he felt waves of icy aura rushing at him from the side.

A group of people stood there.

About seven or eight of them.

"You killed my cousin."

"Kid, you're finished. Come with me to the Cao Family."

A middle-aged man at the front said with a murderous aura.

Boom!

The next moment, eight streams of Spiritual Power bloomed from within his body, like eight young dragons coiling around him, their pressure astonishing.

Cultivation: Qi Gathering Eighth Layer.

Li Ye froze for a moment. "The Cao Family? Which Cao FamilyCao Bing's family? This junior did not do it intentionally."

The middle-aged man grinned savagely. "You got it right, kid. I don't care whether you did it on purpose. Didn't you inquire about it first? In all of Wusun City, no one is more protective of their own than my Cao Family. Forget accidentally killing someone—even if you accidentally injure one, you'll have to pay with your life."

"Hand over your life."

The Cao Family of Wusun had prospered for over six hundred years.

Their foundation was deep, their strength formidable, and their connections extensive. Being protective of one's own was hardly a compliment, but to them, it was a source of pride.

Because the Cao Family had the strength to protect their own.

Screech!

After speaking, light burst forth from his body, and a pitch-black Spirit Sword flew out. In an instant, he formed hand seals and sent them into the Spirit Sword.

The Spirit Sword's aura surged in an instant, Sword Qi ravaging the sky.

Like lightning, it slashed toward Li Ye.

Li Ye had already formed a mortal enmity with the Cao Family, so he no longer held back.

Light flashed across his palm, and the Profound Ice Sword appeared.

"Immortal Slaying Devil Sword Fourth StyleRiver Crossing Slash!"

Li Ye scolded lightly. With a turn of his wrist, he swept his sword horizontally through the sky.

A terrifying destructive aura erupted with a boom, attaching itself to the longsword and drifting forth alongside the blazing Sword Qi.

Boom!

A gale rose between heaven and earth, sand and stones flying as the Sun, Moon, and Universe all changed color.

A faint aura of the Great Dao shrouded all directions, thread after thread, incomparably sharp, scraping people's faces painfully.

Li Ye's lightning-fast Sword Qi collided in an instant with the flying sword slashing toward him. With a thunderous dong, the other side's Sword Qi exploded and shattered, while the flying sword was sent hurtling back.

The flying sword returned to the Cao Family middle-aged man's hand, but the immense impact attached to it made him stagger backward several steps despite himself.

"Sword Intent? How could it be Sword Intent?"

"He actually comprehended Sword Intent. It even seems to be the Destructive Sword Intent with the strongest Killing Power."

"Where did this genius come from?"

Waves of startled cries rang out from the Cao Family's side. Everyone's eyes were wide and round, as though they were about to fall out.

The shock in their hearts had reached an indescribable level.

The middle-aged man who had just made a move steadied his footing, his face also revealing immense shock.

"Profound Ice Sword... was it you who killed Bing'er?"

The middle-aged man cried out, staring fixedly at the flying sword in Li Ye's hand.

"That's right! But your Qi Gathering Eighth Layer cultivation seems to be nothing special."

"I only used seventy percent of my strength, and I already shattered your flying sword."

"Since you know my identity, then go die."

Li Ye roared, kicked off the ground with both legs, and shot forward close to the earth like a flying serpent.

The sword intent erupting from the Profound Ice Sword in his hand instantly enveloped all of them.

The middle-aged man who had made a move earlier bore the brunt of it.

Gritting his teeth, the middle-aged man roared, "I'll hold him back. You send the signal."

"Sky Water Sword Technique."

He circulated his Spiritual Power, turned his wrist, and swiftly thrust out his sword, unleashing one exquisite sword move after another.

Water, impenetrable. The Cao Family's Sky Water Sword Technique was ever-changing and especially adept at defense.

This was the confidence that gave him the nerve to hold Li Ye back.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The two swords intertwined, colliding in showers of sparks. Their force blasted in all directions, piercing through boulders and trees and making the ground tremble violently.

After exchanging several blows with his opponent, Li Ye discovered that the other man's strategy was centered on a single word—delay. He was as steady as an old dog, with hardly any obvious flaws to exploit.

"Hmm, a fine sword technique. Unfortunately, you ran into me."

Li Ye shouted sternly, and the sword momentum in his hand suddenly changed as he stabbed out with blinding speed.

The middle-aged man only saw a streak of cold light flash before his eyes. It then pierced through his nearly impenetrable sword moves, the cold light converging into a single point and forming a snowflake.

It was as though the sword pushed the light onward, condensing it into one point.

The middle-aged man had never seen such a fast sword in his life. The next instant, pain pierced his throat, all the strength in his body was drained away in an instant, his body stiffened, and his consciousness began to blur.

Of all martial arts under heaven, only speed is unbreakable.

The second move of the Immortal Slaying Devil SwordFalling Snow!

Bang!

At that moment, a member of the Cao Family had already lit the signal flare in hand. It shot into the sky, blooming into a brilliant firework signal belonging to the Cao Family.

"Fifth Master!"

The Cao Family members let out grief-stricken cries at the middle-aged man as he slowly crumpled to the ground.
