I Had No Choice Before, Now I Want to Be a Good Person!

I Had No Choice Before, But Now I Want to Be a Good Man! Whoosh!

That flying sword was as fast as lightning, its chilling Sword Qi rapidly enlarging in Zhao Hao's pupils!

Every hair on his body stood on end in an instant. Without even thinking, his whole body bent backward as if he had no bones, folding at an angle twisted to the extreme, his back pressed hard against the ground.

Rip!

The flying sword grazed past the tip of his nose, and the sharp wind from the blade cut a long, thin line of blood across his face.

Zhao Hao had no time to care about the pain. He rolled like a lazy donkey, scrambling and crawling until he hid behind a tree so thick it would take two people to wrap their arms around it, his heart pounding like a war drum.

He couldn't fight!

He did not even dare reveal any more of his strength.

Across from him, one was at perfect Qi Refining, and the other was at the ninth level of Qi Refining. They were also clearly fellow martial sisters who worked together with perfect understanding.

Once they fought, there was absolutely no chance he could take them both down in a short time. As long as he was held up for even a brief moment and others found their way over, his end would be death!

He abruptly tore off the eye-catching black robe of the Corpse Refining Lineage, revealing the gray cloth clothes underneath, then flung the black robe far away and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Two fairy sisters! Stop fighting!"

"I had no choice before, but now I want to be a good cultivator!"

That hoarse, desperate shout, paired with his wretched appearance, made the two female cultivators on the tree branches who were preparing to strike again both freeze for a moment.

The female cultivator in the lead, at perfect Qi Refining, actually showed a strange look on her cold, clear face.

"Oh?"

Her voice was crisp, yet carried a hint of amusement.

"Can the words of you demonic cultivators be trusted?"

There was a chance!

Zhao Hao's heart stirred, and he shouted at top speed, "Fairy sisters, please see clearly! I'm just a mortal who was kidnapped up the mountain! I only entered the sect three months ago! I haven't done anything that would wound Heaven and harm reason!"

Afraid that was not enough weight, he threw out another heavy bomb:

"And I have a fire-attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root!"

"A Heavenly Spiritual Root?"

As expected, the female cultivator at perfect Qi Refining was startled.

Zhao Hao's heart leaped with joy, and he hurriedly spoke, his words coming extremely fast. "Two fairies, please see clearly! I was originally just an ordinary youth from a mortal town. Three months ago, I was forcibly kidnapped up the mountain by the Extreme Yin Sect, had my spiritual root tested, and was forced to cultivate demonic arts!"

He paused, then threw out his greatest bargaining chip:

"And I have a fire-attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root!"

"A Heavenly Spiritual Root?"

That female cultivator at perfect Qi Refining was indeed taken aback, and a strange light flashed through her clear eyes.

She had originally thought he was just some little trash fish she could pinch to death casually. She had not expected to catch a big fish instead!

His value was immense! Whether they killed him or captured him and brought him back to the sect, it would be a massive blow to the Extreme Yin Sect.

However, the female cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining beside her had her pretty face twist with extreme fury after hearing Zhao Hao's words.

"So what if you have a Heavenly Spiritual Root! Little demon brat! Don't you dare quibble!"

Her voice was sharp, filled with hatred carved into the bones.

"My elder sister was captured by you devils, refined into a living corpse! Even after death, she was put in a brothel in the market town to suffer every humiliation!"

"You've cultivated demonic arts. Your demonic nature has long since sunk into your bones. All demonic cultivators deserve to die!"

As Zhao Hao listened to this, his mind went with a buzz.

A brothel in the market town... a living corpse... Seventh Senior Brother Wu De!

Shit. He had run straight into the spearpoint!

This female cultivator's elder sister was actually that female disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect whom Wu De had refined into one of the "Yin-Yang Heavenly Beauties"!

Now this was awkward.

No wonder the other party had not listened to his explanation at all and had come at him with irreconcilable intent from the start.

He cried bitterness in his heart without end. He had only entered the sect three months ago; what sense of belonging could he possibly have toward that Extreme Yin Sect, that human realm of devils? He had simply had bloody bad luck!

That female cultivator at perfect Qi Refining had already been somewhat tempted. After all, a Heavenly Spiritual Root who had been kidnapped and had only just entered the sect three months ago truly did have great value.

But the moment she saw her junior sister looking as if she wished to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, she knew there was no way this matter could end peacefully.

And that female cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining did not wait for her senior sister to speak at all. Killing intent was fully exposed in her eyes as she had already activated her flying sword again!

The flying sword let out a clear, ringing cry, its might even stronger than before, and shot straight for Zhao Hao's skull!

This time, Zhao Hao knew he could not dodge it.

Under the pursuit of cultivators of the same level, continuing to hide his clumsiness would be nothing but courting death!

He hesitated no longer. The spiritual power within his body erupted with a boom! A vast aura far beyond what his outward age suggested soared into the sky like an erupting volcano!

Ninth level of Qi Refining!

"What?!"

"Ninth level of Qi Refining!"

The two female cultivators on the branches cried out in shock at the same time, their faces filled with disbelief.

A boy who looked only about ten years old had entered the sect three months ago, and his cultivation had soared to the ninth level of Qi Refining?!

What kind of monster was this?!

This was no longer a genius. This was a demon-spawn!

The two exchanged a glance and instantly understood the severity of the matter.

This child absolutely could not be left alive!

The female cultivator at the perfected stage of Qi Refining reacted extremely quickly. Without the slightest hesitation, she took a crimson jade talisman from her robe and crushed it with force!

Whoosh—!

A dazzling pillar of red light shot into the sky and exploded in midair, transforming into the image of a massive sword that lingered for a long time without fading!

This was the Heavenly Sword Sect's distress signal!

It was over!

When Zhao Hao saw that signal, his entire heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

He knew he had to escape at all costs before reinforcements arrived!

"Kill!"

After the female cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining recovered from her shock, her killing intent grew even stronger. Her flying sword turned into a streak of white rainbow, sealing off every path of retreat Zhao Hao had.

There was no longer the slightest trace of panic on Zhao Hao's face. In its place was a viciousness that did not match his age.

Earlier, he had kept dodging and hiding his cultivation because he wanted to live.

Now he was going to fight with his life on the line, also because he wanted to live!

Since you won't give me a way to live, then let's all die together!

Before the two female cultivators had snapped out of their game of cat-and-mouse, Zhao Hao simply raised his hand and pointed from afar at the female cultivator who had just entered the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Perfected-level Evil Light Art!

Pfft!

A black beam of light condensed like solid matter arrived instantly, soundless and silent!

The female cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining had never expected that a boy who looked only about ten years old would have such powerful spells.

She had always thought Zhao Hao was only dodging. Subconsciously, she had not put up any guard at all.

By the time she reacted, that black ray had already pierced through her heart.

"Uh..."

In disbelief, she lowered her head and looked at the bloody hole through her chest, open from front to back. Blood and vitality were rapidly draining away.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but only spat out a mouthful of bloody foam. Her body went limp and toppled down from the branch.

"Junior Sister!"

The female cultivator at the perfected stage of Qi Refining let out a shrill wail, her eyes instantly turning blood-red!

Not even in her dreams had she imagined that in a single exchange, the junior sister she had grown up with since childhood would be gone just like that!

Dead at the hands of a boy who looked harmless to both humans and animals!

"I'll kill you!"

She went completely mad. Her flying sword transformed into sword-shadows that filled the sky, pouring down toward Zhao Hao like a wild storm!

Zhao Hao was not having an easy time either.

Facing the frenzied attacks of a sword cultivator at the perfected stage of Qi Refining, he recalled the Ghost Bone Sword and struggled to defend himself, but those exquisite sword-shadows forced him back step by step. In a moment of carelessness, a streak of sword light pierced through his left shoulder. Agony surged over him, making his movements falter.

He couldn't drag this out any longer!

Zhao Hao's eyes were threaded with blood. He abruptly bit the tip of his tongue.

Ignoring everything, he flicked three fingers in succession at that female cultivator!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Three Evil Light Arts shot out in a triangle formation, forcing the female cultivator to recall her sword to protect herself, and her offensive slowed for a moment.

Now!

Zhao Hao did not even look at the result. With a thought, he acted.

All the flesh and blood in his body wailed, and his bones gave groans of being unable to bear the burden.

The next instant, with a boom, his entire body exploded into a blood mist so dense it reached the extreme!

The blood mist flashed, and Zhao Hao vanished from where he had been.

Blood Escape Art!

"Ah—! Demon! You can't escape!"

The female cultivator at the perfected stage of Qi Refining cut apart the three black rays, stared at the empty mountain forest, and let out a howl like a cuckoo crying blood.
