Senior Sister, Take Some Medicine Before Killing

Lin Changkong stood beside Zhao Heilong's dismembered corpse, his expression indifferent, devoid of any emotion.

The surroundings were silent.

Hong Ye gazed at Lin Changkong's tall, upright figure, her heart pounding wildly, her eyes filled with ecstatic joy.

"Junior Brother Lin, are you alright?"

She had just assumed Lin Changkong and Zhou Yue had met their demise, but she never expected Lin Changkong to suddenly emerge from the brink of death.

And in such a ferocious manner, he had cleaved Zhao Heilong to death.

Xuan Ming's face was also filled with shock. Lin Changkong's speed had been too great just now, and his attacks were overbearing and fierce, dismembering Zhao Heilong in just a few strikes.

He hadn't even had the chance to react and offer help.

Although Zhao Heilong had been significantly weakened from his earlier fight with Hong Ye, he shouldn't have been killed so quickly.

According to the intelligence he possessed, Lin Changkong shouldn't have had this kind of strength at all.

"Senior Sister, I'm fine. Take some medicine, and I'll take you to kill people."

Lin Changkong glanced back at Hong Ye, flashed a smile, and casually tossed a bottle of Qi Replenishing Pills to her.

Hong Ye didn't know why Lin Changkong was unharmed, and why his aura was so strong, his spiritual energy so abundant, making him seem completely unfazed by any battle.

But there was no time to ask questions. She opened the small jade bottle, and as she inhaled the rich medicinal fragrance and spiritual energy, she exclaimed, "Qi Replenishing Pills?"

She instinctively wanted to ask where Lin Changkong got them, but immediately stopped herself.

Regardless of where the Qi Replenishing Pills came from, with them, she could immediately recover seventy to eighty percent of her spiritual energy, greatly increasing her chances of victory.

She immediately tilted her head back and swallowed the pill. Spiritual energy rapidly spread through her, and her complexion improved considerably.

However, Xuan Ming's expression turned grim as he stared coldly at Lin Changkong.

"How could this be? Why didn't Xuan Ling kill you? Did she not find you?"

In his opinion, Xuan Ling, with her Qi Gathering Eighth Level cultivation, and two fellow disciples at Qi Gathering Seventh Level, should have easily crushed Lin Changkong and Zhou Yue.

Now, Lin Changkong appearing here, with abundant spiritual energy and showing no signs of having fought, left only one explanation: Xuan Ling and the others had missed Lin Changkong.

"Are you talking about this woman?"

Just as Xuan Ming's words fell, Lin Changkong suddenly spoke. He then took something from behind his back and tossed it in front of Xuan Ming.

Xuan Ming looked down and immediately his heart leaped, as if struck by lightning. His pupils contracted, and his body tensed.

What Lin Changkong had thrown was none other than Xuan Ling's head.

Although it was no longer bloody, Xuan Ling's beautiful face allowed Xuan Ming to recognize her instantly.

Xuan Ling was dead!

"How is that possible!"

Xuan Ming cried out in disbelief, staring intently at the head on the ground, his mind going blank.

He thought Xuan Ling hadn't encountered Lin Changkong, but instead, Xuan Ling was dead.

How could someone at Qi Gathering Eighth Level die like this?

Lin Changkong stared at Xuan Ming, seeing his wide eyes and heaving chest. In the instant Xuan Ming's mind went blank, he transformed into a streak of lightning and instantly slashed at Xuan Ming.

Xuan Ming was still in shock, unable to accept this outcome. A powerful, scorching saber energy swept towards him.

"Great Waves Overwhelming!"

Xuan Ming instantly snapped back to reality. Spiritual energy surged out, transforming into colossal waves that crashed against the fiery saber energy.

But his speed was ultimately a little too slow. Lin Changkong unleashed his full power, and the Blood Fiend Saber Qi pressed down like a torrential downpour, breaking through his giant waves. The blade landed on his arm.

"Clang!"

However, the strike didn't sever Xuan Ming's arm. It only cut through his skin, drawing a bloody gash.

Lin Changkong narrowed his eyes slightly. This scene reminded him of his previous encounter with one of the Mystic Moon Sect's Qi Gathering Seventh Level disciples.

An ordinary Qi Gathering Seventh Level disciple would have been killed by him in three strikes, but that disciple had taken four.

And he had encountered a similar situation, where the opponent's physical body was stronger than others at the same cultivation level.

"Body Refining?"

Lin Changkong immediately thought of this possibility. The Mystic Moon Sect must have some kind of body refining technique, and many of their disciples practiced it.

With so many Spirit and Body Dual Cultivation practitioners, the Mystic Moon Sect was indeed not simple!

"Bastard, you dare to injure me, you're seeking death!"

Xuan Ming finally snapped back to his senses. His spiritual energy churned, his Qi Gathering Eighth Level cultivation fully unleashed. At the same time, a faint sheen flowed across his skin, like white jade, yet exuding a sense of toughness.

Instantly, his spiritual energy transformed into giant waves, constantly crashing against Lin Changkong.

Lin Changkong's Crimson Flame Saber unleashed layers of saber energy, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of blows were exchanged, the surrounding area steaming with heat.

"Wind Cloud Sword Technique!"

At this moment, with the help of the Qi Replenishing Pills, Hong Ye had also recovered sixty to seventy percent of her spiritual energy. She immediately drew her sword and charged forward.

Sword light flashed, like a white rainbow piercing the sun.

Although Xuan Ming practiced Spirit and Body Dual Cultivation, he couldn't withstand the combined assault of two people and was soon forced into a desperate retreat.

Lin Changkong didn't say anything about a one-on-one fight. Killing was the ultimate goal, and the means used in the process were unimportant.

"Pfft—"

Lin Changkong found an opportunity and slashed at Xuan Ming's chest. Xuan Ming, unable to resist the two-person assault, sustained a wound on his chest, with several ribs being cut open.

"Ah—"

A miserable scream escaped his throat. Xuan Ming retreated, intending to flee, but Lin Changkong and Hong Ye gave him no chance.

Blade energy and sword energy crisscrossed simultaneously, continuously striking his body and sending Xuan Ming flying.

"Stop! You can't kill me. I am tenth in the Outer Sect of the Mystic Moon Sect. The Mystic Moon Sect will not let you go if you kill me..."

"Pfft!"

Lin Changkong ignored him, stepped forward, and plunged a blade into his chest. With a flick of his wrist, he delivered a finishing blow, severing his head.

Lin Changkong had always firmly believed that finishing off a defeated opponent was a professional habit a cultivator should possess.

Xuan Ming's face was filled with terror. His lips moved slightly, but he could no longer speak, only endless horror flickering in his pupils.

To his death, he never understood why Lin Changkong had survived Xuan Ling and even killed Xuan Ling.

Looking at Xuan Ming's severed body, Hong Ye breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of fortunate survival after a narrow escape.

Then, looking at Lin Changkong, her eyes were filled with surprise.

"Junior Brother, you killed Xuan Ling?"

Lin Changkong: "Yes. I found some Qi Replenishing Pills in a dark room, and then I killed them all."

Looking at Lin Changkong, who spoke so casually, Hong Ye was momentarily speechless, only hearing her own heart pounding wildly.

Lin Changkong spoke with ease, but she knew Xuan Ling was a genuine Qi Gathering Eighth Level cultivator. Even with the aid of Qi Replenishing Pills, the burst of power from a Qi Gathering Eighth Level should have been overwhelming given the difference in cultivation realms.

But Lin Changkong had killed Xuan Ling, which meant that Lin Changkong's current strength was already enough to rival, or even surpass, an ordinary Qi Gathering Eighth Level cultivator.

Junior Brother Lin... was far more terrifying than she had imagined!

Hong Ye gave him a thumbs-up: "Junior Sister, you're amazing!"

Lin Changkong said seriously: "Senior Sister, you are right!"
