I Misjudged You Too, Fellow Daoist
A dark and windy night is the perfect time for murder.
Now that the young man surnamed Li's Spirit Boat is so far behind, Chen Changming has no reason not to take action.
The bullying behavior of the Tyrant Sword Sect in Red Sky City would infuriate any Chu Kingdom citizen. Therefore, Chen Changming also decided to kill this arrogant and domineering young man surnamed Li and secretly use the Silver Thread Heart-Devouring Insect.
The Silver Thread Heart-Devouring Insect is a high-level level three Demon Beast, whose strength is no weaker than that of a sixth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator. Therefore, it is extremely easy for it to secretly kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
On the Spirit Boat, there were only some Qi Refining cultivators, so they couldn't detect any traces of the Silver Thread Heart-Devouring Insect's attack.
A barely perceptible glint of silver light flashed and flew with incredible speed into the back of the young man surnamed Li's head.
He, who had been full of vigor, suddenly froze, his eyes bulged, he clutched his head in pain, and screamed loudly.
This scene immediately shocked the other Qi Refining cultivators.
what happened?
Even the Seven Heroes of Red Sky and others couldn't figure it out for a while.
The tall, thin man, who was closest to the young man surnamed Li, suddenly took a few steps back, remaining vigilant and constantly glancing around, a talisman appearing in his hand.
Thump!
The young man surnamed Li suddenly collapsed on the Spirit Boat, his thigh twitched a few times, and then he lay motionless.
The young man surnamed Li just died.
A furious roar suddenly echoed from the Sect Master Hall of the Xiaguang Sect.
"Damn it, my son's Life Soul Tablet is shattered! Who could have done this?"
Li Hefeng stared at the shattered pieces scattered on the ground, his expression turning cold.
His son only went to Red Sky City to capture some Qi Refining cultivators from the Chu Kingdom and coerce them into joining the Tyrant Sword Sect. How could someone dare to kill him?
"Logically speaking... all the Foundation Establishment of the Demon-Slaying Alliance died at Mysterious Yin Mountain, so there shouldn't be any Foundation Establishment cultivators native to the Chu Kingdom. But it's undeniable that things aren't always so absolute; there are always one or two who slipped through the net and hid as Qi Refining cultivators!"
Li Hefeng sneered, mounted his sword, and left the Xiaguang Sect, heading straight for Red Sky City.
Li Mu was one of his most beloved sons. He had brought him to the Chu Kingdom this time with the intention of cultivating him greatly. Unexpectedly, he was killed shortly after arriving in the Chu Kingdom. How could he let him swallow this humiliation?
"I, Li Hefeng, swear I will not rest until this man is killed!"
As they flew at high speed, Li Hefeng secretly swore a poisonous oath, and his expression became increasingly ferocious.
Red Sky City.
In the vast darkness of the night, an unmanned Spirit Boat continued its journey.
The Spirit Boat is powered by Spirit Stone, so it will not crash.
Seeing that the young man surnamed Li remained motionless and silent, the atmosphere on the Spirit Boat suddenly became oppressive.
"Dead?"
Ma Xingkong came to his senses, carefully leaned over, and gently checked the tip of the young man surnamed Li's nose, only to find that he was no longer breathing.
Ma Xingkong stood up with a grim face, spitting and cursing, "Damn it, the Foundation Establishment senior of the Tyrant Sword Sect has suddenly died. We're in big trouble."
"You've all seen the way the Tyrant Sword Sect operates; they're always lawless and disregard the lives of the people of the Chu Kingdom."
"If the Tyrant Sword Sect discovers this, we will surely be implicated and punished."
"Yes," the tall, thin man asked anxiously, "Chief Ma, what should we do now?"
"We'll have to flee for our lives, what other options do we have?"
Ma Xingkong sneered, then suddenly snatched the Storage Ring off the young man surnamed Li, clutching it excitedly in his hand, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
Although this young man surnamed Li was not highly skilled, he held the most prestigious position among the Foundation Establishment cultivators, so his Storage Ring must contain valuable items.
Even if he can't open it for the time being, he will naturally find a way to open it later, and then the seven brothers will monopolize all the Cultivation Resources inside.
Ma Xingkong's eyes flickered, and six of the Seven Heroes of Red Sky suddenly split into two groups with remarkable tacit understanding, surrounding Chen Changming and the tall, thin man.
"Chief Ma, what do you mean by this?"
The tall, thin man asked in a cold voice.
Ma Xingkong's face was contorted with rage as he warily peered into the distance. He said in a deep voice, "You two both possess Storage Ring. Hand them over, and I might spare your lives..."
"Boss Ma, you've gone too far."
The tall, thin man suddenly moved, releasing an aura of the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
"What, you're Foundation Establishment senior?"
When Ma Xingkong saw the tall, thin man reveal his true cultivation level, he was immediately dumbfounded.
His brothers, who had surrounded the tall, thin man, were also trembling with fear and retreated cautiously, their faces pale.
"Please forgive me, senior; I have offended you greatly."
They apologized as they backed away.
Ma Xingkong, however, was opportunistic and promptly ran over, presenting the young man Storage Ring Li with both hands.
Ma Xingkong hurriedly said, "Senior, this junior had no choice. Please forgive us and spare our lives."
"Not enough."
The tall, thin man's face was cold, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Ma Xingkong quickly shouted to his brothers, "Hand over the Storage Ring to the senior, quick!"
The seven acted swiftly, offering up their Storage Ring.
"Not enough."
The tall, thin man spoke calmly, but his gaze drifted toward the short, stocky middle-aged man on the other side of the Spirit Boat.
This person also possessed a Storage Ring.
Ma Xingkong understood.
He flew over and roared at Chen Changming, "What are you standing there for? Give me your Storage Ring!"
A golden light shot out from between his eyebrows.
Ma Xingkong's expression suddenly froze, and a thin red line appeared on his neck.
Then, blood flowed down.
The enormous head, with a dazed expression, suddenly fell onto the Spirit Boat and rolled all the way to the tall, thin man.
After killing the man, Chen Changming also released his Foundation Establishment Level 2 cultivation.
Seeing yet another Foundation Establishment cultivator appear, the remaining six members of the Seven Heroes of Red Sky felt utterly hopeless.
On a small Spirit Boat, there were actually two hidden Foundation Establishment masters!
Their cultivation level is higher than that of the Foundation Establishment senior from the Tyrant Sword Sect!
"Heh, you're also Foundation Establishment cultivator? You've been hiding it well; I was completely mistaken."
The tall, thin man was taken aback, then looked surprised.
This middle-aged man was unremarkable in appearance and did not show off his abilities, but he also possessed an amazing skill in concealing his aura. Like him, he hid his cultivation level and disguised himself as a Qi Refining cultivator.
"I misjudged you too, fellow Daoist."
Chen Changming smiled slightly, gazing at the corpse of the young man surnamed Li, and slowly said, "This man held a high position in the Tyrant Sword Sect. If news of his death were to leak out, we would face annihilation."
"Good!"
A sword light shot out from between the eyebrows of the tall, thin man, weaving in and out like a serpent, instantly killing the remaining six of the Seven Heroes of Red Sky.
"Sword cultivator?"
Chen Changming was surprised.
This tall, thin man was also a sword cultivator. He had disguised himself as a Qi Refining cultivator and had managed to avoid being discovered by the Demon-Slaying Alliance, thus surviving until now.
It must be said that this person's cunning and level of forbearance are in no way inferior to his.
