Let's Go, Senior Sister, I'll Take You to Kill People

"Bang bang bang bang--"

Hong Ye, wielding her Qingfeng sword, clashed with Zhao Heilong. Zhao Heilong's Mountain Splitting Axe moved with grand, powerful sweeps, incredibly fierce.

Hong Ye didn't confront him head-on, choosing instead to win with skill. In the blink of an eye, over a dozen moves had been exchanged, yet it was clear neither could gain the upper hand.

"This place is too cramped. If you've got the guts, find somewhere spacious to fight me, and I'll take your head."

Zhao Heilong roared, cleaving Hong Ye's Qingfeng aside with a saber strike before turning to leave. Hong Ye let out a cold snort, "Afraid of you? Never!"

She then drew her sword and pursued him, killing intent blazing in her eyes, determined to split Zhao Heilong in two herself.

On the other side, Shi Heihu and Zhang Heibao were also approaching Lin Changkong and Zhou Yue. Both men wielded large sabers, exuding an imposing aura.

Zhou Yue faced Lin Changkong with her sword, saying, "Junior disciple, you just need to hold off one of them. Once I kill my opponent, I'll come help you. Don't worry, senior disciple will protect you."

Zhou Yue spoke with utmost seriousness, her tone implying she truly meant it.

In her view, Lin Changkong was only at Qi Gathering Fifth Level, and holding off a Qi Gathering Seventh Level opponent would be no easy feat. Therefore, she had to end her fight quickly, or her junior disciple would be in danger.

"Wind Cloud Sword Technique!"

The next moment, Zhou Yue's sword flashed, and she charged towards Shi Heihu, intending to finish the fight swiftly.

Zhang Heibao, meanwhile, walked towards Lin Changkong, a sinister grin spreading across his face as he sneered, "Truly don't know what's good for you, you little brat. Once I capture you, I'll show you what brutality is, what..."

"Show you my ass!"

Before Zhang Heibao could finish speaking, Lin Changkong "whooshed" and charged forward with his saber.

Infused with spiritual energy, the Crimson Flame Saber immediately emitted a scorching aura, like a blazing inferno.

With a saber strike, the searing energy surged like wind and clouds, rushing towards Zhang Heibao.

Zhang Heibao's pupils constricted.

"What terrifying saber momentum!"

He had no time for further threats and hastily raised his saber to block.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound echoed as their blades collided. Zhang Heibao felt a tremendous force, accompanied by a scorching aura, push against him. His hand ached, and the saber nearly flew out of his grip.

His footing faltered, and he was forced to retreat step by step from the impact.

As soon as Lin Changkong landed his first strike, the second followed without pause. Simultaneously, Blood Fiend Saber Qi erupted, channeling into the Crimson Flame Saber and further amplified by its power, its might soaring.

Crimson saber energy swept forward, and Zhang Heibao's heart pounded.

"Such powerful saber qi!"

He channeled his spiritual energy into his saber and unleashed a full-force strike, but it was no match for the terrifying saber qi.

With a sharp crack, his saber shattered into pieces. The immense force nearly sent him flying.

Before he could regain his balance, a third saber strike lunged at him, even more ferocious and violent saber qi howling through the air. It was so fast he couldn't even dodge, forcing him to cover his body with spiritual energy for defense.

"Pfft--"

But his spiritual energy defense was as fragile as paper against the Blood Fiend Saber Qi. With a "pfft," a scorching sensation pierced his body.

He looked down and saw a dark red mark extending diagonally from his left shoulder to his waist. Blood hadn't flowed out; it had already been cauterized and dried by the saber qi.

The next second, his head, along with half his body, slid off. His legs, still attached to the incomplete upper torso, fell to the ground.

Zhang Heibao's eyes widened. He wanted to cry out but couldn't, his mind filled with only one desperate thought: I'm going to die!

In just three strikes, Lin Changkong had cleaved him in two!

The entire process took less than three breaths.

Lin Changkong's saber qi was domineering and fierce, wielded effortlessly and with incredible speed. His saber technique was incomparably exquisite, far surpassing Zhang Heibao's by a hundredfold.

The immense, powerful saber qi also drew the attention of Zhou Yue and Shi Heihu, who were still fighting. They both turned their heads and saw Lin Changkong cleaving Zhang Heibao in half with a single strike.

Clean, decisive, and ruthlessly effective.

In an instant, both their pupils contracted, their hearts filled with dread.

"Third brother!"

Shi Heihu exclaimed, stunned.

This was a Qi Gathering Seventh Level cultivator, killed with one strike! How could this be? Was this guy so terrifying?

Zhou Yue was even more shocked, finding it hard to believe.

She had just been worried about Lin Changkong's safety, thinking she needed to finish her fight quickly to support him.

But she had barely begun, and Lin Changkong had already finished!

In just three strikes, he had utterly crushed a Qi Gathering Seventh Level opponent.

And they were telling her he was only at Qi Gathering Fifth Level?

The clown was me all along!

Lin Changkong, having killed Zhang Heibao, turned without hesitation and charged towards Shi Heihu with his saber.

Without any unnecessary preamble, the scorching saber energy, carrying a thousand jin of force, slashed horizontally. Before the blade even arrived, the saber energy had already broken through all resistance and was cleaving towards Shi Heihu.

Sensing the terrifying saber energy, Zhou Yue's heart pounded.

"A fourth-tier martial art, Blood Fiend Saber Qi. Such a terrifying aura, could Junior Brother Lin have already mastered the Blood Fiend Saber Qi to the great completion stage?

My heavens, what kind of cultivation speed is this!"

Zhou Yue felt her mind becoming a mess, completely stunned by Lin Changkong's explosive aura and strength.

While she was in shock, the Blood Fiend Saber Qi had already swept out. One strike, and Shi Heihu was sent reeling back.

Two strikes, his blade cracked, his body sent flying.

Three strikes, his head hit the ground!

It was the epitome of clean and swift!

The moment Shi Heihu's head flew off, his eyes held only endless terror and disbelief.

When did such a terrifying existence appear in the Outer Sect of the Heavenly Fire Sect?

Zhou Yue's mouth hung open in astonishment, staring at the headless corpse that fell to the ground. For a moment, she felt like her brain was atrophying.

No...

Junior Brother, aren't you a little too fast!

"Junior Brother Lin, are you sure you're at Qi Gathering Fifth Level?"

Zhou Yue wanted to swallow to moisten her throat, but found herself dry-mouthed, with no saliva to swallow.

Lin Changkong replied with a calm expression, "Yes, yesterday I was at Qi Gathering Fifth Level."

"And today?"

"Qi Gathering Sixth Level."

Zhou Yue: "..."

"And your Blood Fiend Saber Qi, have you also cultivated it to the great completion stage?"

Lin Changkong: "Not great completion."

Zhou Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's already perfected."

Zhou Yue's lips twitched violently: "!!!"

Damn it, Junior Brother!

A minor realm a day!

Do you level up like drinking water, my good Junior Brother.

And at Qi Gathering Sixth Level, you can kill a Qi Gathering Seventh Level opponent in three strikes while fighting above your level. Do you have to be this outrageously strong?

Zhou Yue thought back to her earlier words about protecting Lin Changkong and having him hold off one person, and her face instantly burned.

Although her intentions were indeed good, looking back now, she felt like an idiot.

If she were to fight Shi Heihu, she didn't know how long it would take to determine a winner, and even if she won, it would definitely be after a hundred moves.

Lin Changkong killed him in three strikes, which meant that even if she were to face Lin Changkong, he could probably kill her within five strikes.

But Junior Brother only entered the Outer Sect a few days ago.

My Junior Brother is outrageously strong!

Lin Changkong offered no explanation. A cheater's life needs no explanation.

He simply picked up his saber and walked towards the stronghold, saying without looking back, "Let's go, Senior Sister, I'll take you to kill some people."
