Almost at the same time, Lin Xun stretched out his hand and clutched the whip.
PA!
He pulled the whip and struck back. A blast of wind and qi gushed out and split the cultivator’s skin open while heavily damaging his organs.
In the end, he fainted while convulsing.
“You have a death wish!” the other cultivator fumed.
Just as he lifted his hand, he felt a terrifying, storm-like aura erupt from Lin Xun.
With a boom, Lin Xun’s aura blasted the cultivator across the air.
PA!
Lin Xun didn’t show any mercy. The powerful swish of his whip lashed through the air and struck the cultivator like a bolt of lightning. The cultivator coughed up blood and immediately lost consciousness.
He tossed the whip aside and rushed into the ground floor of Spirit Vulture Residence.He quickly glanced around and saw no one. It was the same situation on the second floor.
Lin Xun frowned in puzzlement, but he suddenly noticed a door leading to a courtyard in the depths of Spirit Vulture Residence.
He saw the entire courtyard from the second floor.
A group of cultivator servants were standing behind Chi Ze in the courtyard, and Chi Ze had a blade pressed against his neck.
The person holding the blade was dressed in plain clothing. Her graceful and slender figure and her long legs made her look taller than she was.
She had fine short black hair, fair skin, and delicate facial features. She was a flawless beauty in every aspect: face, body and demeanor.
Her movements were steady and precise, and her body exuded calmness like a solitary iceberg.
Of course, the person was Instructor Xiaoke!
However, she had grown even more beautiful compared to when she was in Blood Kill Camp as she had always worn the empire’s military uniform then.
Her unique calm and cold temperament coupled with her delicate and beautiful facial features made her captivatingly beautiful.
Even Lin Xun was taken aback by her looks when he saw her.
Then, he let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xiaoke is only threatening him with a blade and hasn't killed him yet.
Surprisingly, Chi Ze remained unusually calm and didn’t seem nervous at all with a blade pressed against his neck.
He stared at Xiaoke’s beautiful face and grinned. “I know, you made a move. So, put away the blade now.”
Xiaoke refused to withdraw her blade. “Do you think I don’t have the guts to kill you?”
Chi Ze burst out in arrogant laughter. “Of course, you won’t dare to kill me. You might be able to escape after killing me but the owner of Spirit Vulture Residence will have to pay with blood!
After a pause, his eyes blazed. “Xiaoke, you know very well that it’s very simple to kill me, but the consequences won’t be simple. This is the reason why you haven’t done so already. See, this is power!”
He lifted his hand to stroke Xiaoke’s soft and smooth face, but when he saw her eyes remained calm and without a ripple of emotion, he retracted his hand.
Chi Ze grinned like he had the upper hand. “Regardless, you are coming with me today. Otherwise, I will destroy Spirit Vulture Residence and kill the owner!”
Xiaoke narrowed her eyes and her voice was icy cold, “You dare!”
Chi Ze said with a smile, “You can try me. I believe you don’t want to see the owner of Spirit Vulture Residence die because of you. If that’s the case, what other means do you have to resist?”
Xiaoke fell silent.
Chi Ze grew more and more smug. He looked like someone who enjoyed playing with women’s minds. “Xiaoke, I like you. What’s wrong with coming with me? Now, I have the Chi Clan, one of the seven high clans, supporting me. If you come with me, you will also become a member of the Chi Family. What an honor that is!”
Bang!
Xiaoke flicked her wrist and slammed the back of the blade at Chi Ze’s chest, sending him flying across the air.
“Get lost!” Xiaoke softly spat out two words.
However, Chi Ze surprisingly didn’t get angry. He leisurely rose to his feet, dusted his clothes, and strode towards Xiaoke. “Don’t create trouble. If you don’t dare to kill me, why are you still resisting?”
The nearby cultivator servants were all grinning. In their eyes, Xiaoke was an unattainable iceberg and strongly sparked a man’s desire to conquer her.
They enjoyed watching Chi Ze relentlessly attack Xiaoke’s psychological line of defense like an experienced hunter.
As Xiaoke watched Chi Ze draw closer and closer to her, she clenched the blade in her hand tight and made her fingers turn white. If one looked closely, one would see the struggle in the depths of her usual calm and clear eyes.
Just as Chi Ze was only one foot away from Xiaoke, he grinned triumphantly. No matter how strong this woman is, no matter how high her cultivation is, no matter how cold and proud she is, she still has to submit to me.
The satisfaction of conquering Xiaoke sent blood bubbling with excitement around Chi Ze’s body. He almost threw his head back and laughed. This is power!
In the face of power, everything is as weak as a paper tiger!
“Xiaoke, come with me…” Chi Ze said softly as reached to grab Xiaoke’s arm.
Xiaoke imperceptibly trembled like she was trying hard to suppress her emotions.
It only made Chi Ze more and more complacent. He felt an intense thrill, an unparalleled enjoyment, and only the woman in front of him could evoke such strong feelings in him.
It was at that moment that a voice rang out, “If you dare touch her, I promise I will chop off your hands to feed the dogs.”
In a flash, Lin Xun appeared in the courtyard.
“Who is it?”
“You want to die!”
“How dare you ruin my Master’s time!”
The group of cultivators roared as they charged toward Lin Xun.
When Xiaoke saw that it was Lin Xun, she looked dumbfounded. Why did this little guy come?
“Die!”
The group of cultivators launched head-on attacks at Lin Xun.
However, Lin Xun unhurriedly brought out two Flying Star Crossbows, and following two ear-piercing explosion-like booms, silver arrows shot out and bloomed like fireworks.
PU— PU— PU—
Instantly, seven to eight cultivators were killed on the spot, blood gushing everywhere like waterfalls.
It didn’t end there. He unsheathed the Flowing Light Blade with a clang and walked forward in large strides.
Lin Xun’s lungs almost exploded when he witnessed the scene of Instructor Xiaoke standing there helplessly. At that moment, anger and sadness flooded him.
Xiaoke is an instructor in the empire’s Blood Kill Camp!
But some guy with the surname Chi is constraining her. This...how absurd is this?
How ridiculous is that?
However, Lin Xun knew that this was the cruel reality. The reason why Xiaoke didn’t dare to act rashly was ultimately because the Chi Family was standing behind Chi Ze!
The power of aristocratic clans was the cause of everything!
How would Lin Xun be able to endure it? He immediately vented the endless hatred in his heart and mercilessly acted.
Instantly, rays of blade light crisscrossed throughout the courtyard, wreaking havoc like a storm. The majority of the cultivators were at the Human Dipper Stage, so how could they withstand such an impact?
In the blink of an eye, more than half suffered casualties.
“Die!”
Chi Ze’s face darkened. He was utterly infuriated and his gaze grew even more terrifying. He had almost succeeded, but someone appeared and ruined everything. Violent currents of rage surged in his heart.
Boom!
He sprang up and thrust his palm forward. A blast of jet-black wind swept out from his hand like a wave, compressing the void.
Kill from a distance!
The ability of a Spirit Sea cultivator!
But just as Chi Ze made a move, Xiaoke clenched her teeth and leapt up as though she had made a decision.
Xiaoke lightly clapped her hands together and the fabric of space seemed to collapse, instantly crushing Chi Ze’s palm strike.
“Xiaoke, you…” Chi Ze raged as though he couldn’t believe that Xiaoke would dare to stop him.
Bang!
However, before he finished his sentence, Xiaoke attacked with a beautiful, swift kick. The terrifying power of her kick formed a shadow in the air and crushed Chi Ze’s chest from a distance.
Chi Ze’s chest sank in and blood seeped out from his seven orifices. His body blasted a huge pit into the ground and whipped up a cloud of dust.
Lin Xun had dealt with Chi Ze’s servants almost at the same time. Carrying a sword dripping with blood, he said with a smile, “Instructor Xiaoke, this is more like you.”
Xiaoke’s clear eyes were calm as she shot a sidelong glance at Lin Xun. “You’ve caused me a big problem the moment we met again. Let’s think of how to solve it first.”
“Solve it? Impossible! Unless you kill me now, otherwise none of you can escape!” Chi Ze roared on the ground, his hair dishevelled, his face contorted and livid, and his eyes bloodshot and filled with murderous rage.
Ever since he had changed his surname to Chi, no one had dared to anger him wherever he went.
Xiaoke frowned and was about to say something when Lin Xun spoke before her, “Instructor, leave it to me. I guarantee that you won’t have to worry!”
As he reassured Xiaoke, he was already standing in front of Chi Ze with a blade in his hand. A warm smile spread across his lips. “Don’t worry, I won’t kill you.”
He raised the blade in his hand and, with two swift motions, severed both of Chi Ze’s hands. Blood spurted everywhere like a spring.
Chi Ze madly screamed in agony, “You’re dead! You’re dead! The Chi Family won’t let you go! I swear!”
Xiaoke’s frown deepened. She was still a little worried.
However, Lin Xun crouched down, stared at Chi Ze’s twisted, crazy, and livid face and smiled. “You might not know, but on my way to the Forbidden City, I killed over two thousand cultivators sent out by the Chi Clan and also damaged and destroyed six Violet Hero Battleships. Oh and even that kid Chi Cangfeng came to Wuqu City to kill me, but I am still alive and well.”
After a pause, Lin Xun asked, “Now, do you think I would be afraid of retaliation from the Chi Family?”
