Killing, Cultivation Points

The murderous intent in Li Wei's eyes intensified, and he used his Sunflower Divine Skill to strike Fei Bin's chest with lightning speed.

Fei Bin also sensed the killing intent of the mysterious young man in front of him. He knew that this was a matter of life and death, so he also unleashed all his strength, intending to fight head-on.

He simply didn't know how miraculous the Sunflower Manual that Li Wei cultivated was.

He had just raised his hand when Li Wei's hand was already on his chest. "So fast!" Startled, Fei Bin felt a surge of internal energy explode within his body. His original protective techniques were as fragile as paper, shattered by the force. After a piercing pain, Fei Bin's eyes gradually lost their light.

"Such formidable skill," Fei Bin murmured, coughing up blood. Then, he collapsed to the ground with a thud, dead.

'Whoosh'

Everyone present was stunned by Li Wei's thunderous actions. No one could see how he had made his move. It was as if in the blink of an eye, his palm was on Fei Bin's chest, and in the next blink, Fei Bin was already dead on the ground.

It happened so fast.

However, everyone heard Fei Bin's last words. Now, looking at the killer Mu Gaofeng, he was no longer hunched over, but stood tall and straight, exuding a heroic air. However, he was still wearing the straw hat that could cover his face.

"If you are not the Mu Gaofeng from the Northern Frontier Camel, who are you to dare kill someone from my Five Sacred Sword Sect?" The speaker was another disciple from the Songshan Sect. He knew that with Fei Bin dead, there was no way to report back to Zuo Lengchan. At the very least, he needed to find out who this enemy was.

"Hehe, knowing who I am won't do you any good. In short, I killed Fei Bin because he indiscriminately slaughtered innocent people. Such a brutal person's actions are despicable, even worse than the Demonic Sect. So, I killed him. If any of you have any complaints, feel free to come at me."

These words were extremely arrogant. If they had been spoken a few minutes earlier, they would have only been ridiculed. But now, after killing Fei Bin, the Great Songyang Hand, with a single palm strike, no one doubted the truth of these words.

This person may be arrogant, but he has the right to be.

"Haha, well said." At this moment, a person jumped in from outside the courtyard. He was dressed like a scholar, wearing a white and black scholar's robe, and had an elegant and otherworldly temperament.

Li Wei glanced at him and knew immediately that this must be Qu Yang, the elder of the Sun Moon Divine Sect.

Sure enough, upon seeing Qu Yang arrive, Liu Zhengfeng's eyes lit up. "Brother Qu, what brings you here?"

Qu Yang, however, showed a hint of remorse. He stepped forward and used his internal energy to heal Liu Zhengfeng's Cure, while letting out a long sigh, "Brother Liu, even if you revealed my whereabouts, I would never blame you. But now, your son is dead. How can I face you in the future?"

Liu Zhengfeng smiled bitterly, "Today I have resolved to die. To have a true friend in life is enough; even death is without regret. Moreover, this Master Mu has stood up for me. From today onwards, he has probably offended the Five Sacred Sword Sect. To be honest, I am truly ashamed to say that I have let him down."

Qu Yang glanced at Li Wei, clasped his hands in a deep fist salute, but said nothing.

However, this was a hundred times better than those hypocrites who only knew how to talk big. Li Wei also greatly admired Qu Yang, so he returned the greeting with clasped hands.

Then, Qu Yang's originally refined demeanor suddenly erupted with murderous intent. He looked around at everyone and said, "Didn't you want to coerce Brother Liu into revealing my whereabouts? Now, I, Qu Yang, am here. Any grudges are irrelevant to Liu Zhengfeng. If you continue to be disrespectful to his family, I will slaughter the entire sect of that murderer, leaving no one alive."

By the end, Qu Yang's face was filled with murderous intent; at this moment, he truly possessed the 'demon' aura of an elder of the Sun Moon Divine Sect.

Qu Yang's martial arts skills are not weak, and with him around, he can be considered a significant fighting force.

However, because of Qu Yang's appearance, the righteous people present drew their weapons and glared at him angrily. Several disciples from Mount Song even shouted, "Don't listen to this great demon! Liu Zhengfeng has fallen into the demonic path and must not be allowed to live! Fellow righteous brothers, quickly kill these two!"

Seeing this, Li Wei sneered, leaped up and appeared in front of the shouting Mount Song disciples. His palms moved like phantoms, striking out more than a dozen times. The Mount Song disciples coughed up blood on the spot and were killed by Li Wei.

"Qu Yang, you take Liu Zhengfeng and go first. I'll be there shortly. Brother Duan, I'll trouble you to escort the two of them." Li Wei had absolute confidence in his Sunflower Divine Skill. Among the people present, apart from a few sect leaders, almost no one posed any threat to him. However, if they attacked together, it would be troublesome.

Perhaps it was because Li Wei's murder aroused public outrage, or perhaps it was because of Qu Yang's appearance; in any case, a large group of righteous disciples drew their weapons and surrounded him.

At this point, Li Wei could no longer fight empty-handed. He picked up the broadsword dropped by the Mount Song disciples and used the Misty Cloud Thirteen Forms and Mist to fight the masters.

Of course, with the aid of the Sunflower Divine Skill, the power of this sword technique increased by at least one level, and it actually managed to block the combined attacks of several masters.

Seeing this, Qu Yang did not hesitate. He picked up Liu Zhengfeng and jumped out of the courtyard, running away wildly. Several people who wanted to give chase were injured by invisible sword energies.

Everyone who tried to jump was attacked by the sword energy. When everyone looked, they saw that the one who released the sword energy was the blue-clad man who had been following Mu Gaofeng. They never expected that such a fair-skinned young man with red lips and white teeth would also be a master.

Li Wei was well aware of the power of the Six Meridian Divine Sword. It was like having a gun in one's hand, giving one a significant advantage against those who were armed and engaged in close combat.

After fighting for a while, Li Wei and Duan Yu jumped over the wall and ran for more than ten minutes before shaking off their pursuers. They entered a valley and encountered Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng, who had been waiting there.

"I am deeply grateful, Master Mu. I will remember your kindness forever. If you ever need my help in the future, please feel free to ask," Liu Zhengfeng said, his injuries mostly healed, as he clasped his hands in thanks to Li Wei.

Li Wei simply nodded, his attention now focused on the mission prompts.

"Mission complete. Reward: 500 silver coins, 1 Quick-Acceleration Pill"

At this moment, Li Wei also noticed a prompt on his Black Paper. Li Wei looked at it strangely and was taken aback.

"Defeat the Northern Frontier Camel, Mu Gaofeng, and gain 17 cultivation points."

"Defeat Fei Bin, the Great Songyang Hand, and gain 31 cultivation points."

"Seven disciples of Mount Song were killed, and 42 cultivation points were gained."

"Currently have 90 cultivation points. Use them now?"

Cultivation points? What are those?

Li Wei, who was focused on the plot and the battle, didn't notice that when he killed Mu Gaofeng, he had gained cultivation points. He saw that Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng were sitting on a large rock, studying their musical notes, while Duan Yu was practicing the Six Meridian Divine Sword alone. So Li Wei found a rock, sat down, and chose to use the cultivation points.

"Please select a martial art that uses cultivation points."

Another choice. Li Wei looked at the options, which included Sunflower Divine Skill (a collective term for the Sunflower Manual and the Evil-Resisting Sword Manual), Misty Cloud Thirteen Forms, and Arhat Fist.

Naturally, Li Wei chose the Sunflower Divine Skill.

Instantly, a surge of heat rushed out, circulating through Li Wei's body along his meridians, while the true energy of the Sunflower Divine Skill also began to circulate involuntarily.

Li Wei was shocked, thinking that this was somewhat similar to the legendary "qi deviation". However, no matter how he suppressed it, the heat flow continued to surge. So Li Wei simply stopped paying attention and watched quietly to see what would happen.

About ten minutes later, the heat in Li Wei's body gradually dissipated, and his true energy also subsided.

"Is that all?" Li Wei checked his internal energy in surprise and found that the true energy in his body had suddenly increased by more than 30%.

"This is..." Activating the Sunflower Divine Skill, Li Wei clearly felt that his internal energy cultivation was much stronger than it had been a few minutes ago, and he understood what those cultivation points were for.

This is somewhat similar to experience points in old games, which can be used to upgrade the level of various martial arts skills.

A slight smile appeared on Li Wei's lips. There was such a thing! If that were the case, becoming a peerless master within a year wasn't impossible. However, the fact that cultivation points could only be obtained by killing people was a bit of a headache for Li Wei.

Killing is permissible, but this is a world of martial arts. If he slaughters too many martial arts figures, it might ultimately affect the difficulty of completing his mission. After all, Jin Yong's game has a "morality" attribute. Although it can't be seen on the Black Paper now, Li Wei has a feeling that if he causes too much killing, the difficulty of completing the mission will also increase.

What impressed Li Wei the most in this battle was undoubtedly the Sunflower Divine Skill. Under the effect of this skill, his reflexes reached a terrifying level. To put it simply, he could kill a master like Fei Bin in just a few moves.

However, Li Wei still found dealing with Yue Buqun somewhat difficult, probably due to the effects of Yue Buqun's Purple Mist Divine Skill. Now that the mission of rescuing Liu Zhengfeng was completed, the next step was to find Linghu Chong and begin gathering powerful helpers.

Li Wei already had a few candidates in mind. First, he wanted to recruit Duan Yu and Linghu Chong. In addition, he couldn't let go of Yang Guo and Zhang Wuji. As for the last candidate, Li Wei still needed to consider it carefully.

Thinking of this, Li Wei got up and called Duan Yu. The two then bid farewell to Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang and left the valley. The two secretly returned to the Liu family and happened to meet Yilin, who was rushing to deliver a letter.

With just a few words, Li Wei managed to extract Linghu Chong's whereabouts from the little nun. He and Duan Yu rushed over and, sure enough, found Linghu Chong, who was quite badly injured. Fortunately, Li Wei had been rewarded with three healing pills when he completed the first mission, which came in handy at this moment.

Because they had met once before at the Qingcheng Sect, Linghu Chong was also tricked into joining the team by Li Wei. Li Wei took out the black paper, found the location of the Cliff of Contemplation on Mount Hua, and hurriedly led the two there.
