Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Farewell to the Sect Master (Seeking collection, seeking recommendation tickets!)
Lei Lie laugh maniacally with a mix of rage and regret deep in his heart.
If he had known about Shi Xiaole’s strength, he would never have provoked him, and he wouldn’t have exposed his Devil Path martial arts.
But now it had come to this, he couldn’t remain in Mountain Luyan, let alone Emerald Feather City. However, killing Shi Xiaole before he left would be a kind of satisfaction.
Thinking this, Lei Lie felt somewhat delighted.
No powerful wind or ear-shattering explosions, only a demonic claw slicing through the air, poised to pierce through Shi Xiaole’s chest.
Just as everyone’s mind reeled, Shi Xiaole suddenly let go of his Green Edge Sword, launching his body several feet into the air.
Golden Goose Skill.
Shi Xiaole indeed could not withstand Lei Lie, but who said he was forbidden to dodge rather than fight?
Boom!
The demonic claw’s Qi shot forward, jolting people backward from three yards away.
Lei Lie’s face drastically changed, he turned and fled.
Unfortunately, by this time, Yu Fangge, Dong Yinghao and all the nine other Sect Masters had reacted. They wouldn’t allow Lei Lie to escape and chased him from all directions.
In addition to countless disciples surrounding him, after Lei Lie killed several people, he was eventually surrounded by the ten Sect Masters.
Shi Xiaole didn’t pay attention to this.
Among the ten Sect Masters, even the weakest was at the Qi Absorption second layer. If they couldn’t handle Lei Lie, they might as well kill themselves by smashing their heads into tofu.
With the Hundred Battles Blade in his hand, Shi Xiaole fixed his gaze on someone, chased them for three miles and finally caught up.
"Brother Shi, spare me one. I will not be your enemy in the future."
Chu Lin pleaded in a tone of almost begging, his face extremely ugly.
In such a chaotic situation at the scene, Shi Xiaole was still able to chase after him, proving that he had long suspected him, so there’s no use in quibbling.
"Do you want to die yourself, or shall I help you on your way?"
Shi Xiaole spoke.
If Chu Lin hadn’t set him up earlier, he would consider sparing him. But now, forget it. He didn’t want to leave a trouble that would harm him in the world.
"I can swear to the heavens."
Chu Lin gritted his teeth.
"I do not believe anyone’s oath."
With no patience to continue the talk, as soon as his words fell, Shi Xiaole swung his sword.
"Bleeding Heartless Sword!"
Chu Lin’s face hardened, his left hand slid across the sword, bringing up a spray of blood. As blood spurted out, his sword seemed to come alive, slashing at Shi Xiaole with incredible ferocity.
These days, after absorbing the essence of tens of disciples, Chu Lin’s cultivation was infinitely close to the Qi Absorption second layer, combined with the Devil Path sword method, he was far stronger than before.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast he improves, he can’t keep up with Shi Xiaole.
The bloody blade passed through the sky, cutting out an unpredictable arc.
Bloody Chaos Kill!
With a thump.
Blood spurted out from Chu Lin’s mouth, and his body flew back like a broken sack. Just as he tried to escape, Shi Xiaole had already leapt into the air and swung his second blade.
"You, Shi, even those famous martial world swordsmen, will give others a chance. You are so cruel, you will suffer retribution in the future, and you will never become a major figure!"
Chu Lin yelled.
The next moment, his voice came to an abrupt halt as his chest was pierced through.
"It’s none of your business whether I become a major figure or not."
Shi Xiaole bent down to search Chu Lin’s body. Unfortunately, he didn’t find any martial arts secrets.
Generally, martial arts secrets are passed down from generation to generation, with many interpretations and insights from previous owners listed, so even if someone knows the secrets like the back of his hand, he would rarely destroy it.
But Devil Path martial arts is different.
In the current martial world, the Devil Path martial artists are like rats. Everyone wants to kill them. For safety reasons, Chu Lin either hid the secrets somewhere else or destroyed them.
Shaking his head, Shi Xiaole got up and left.
When he returned to the scene, Lei Lie had been executed and had confessed before his death that he had been framed by Chu Lin. It seemed that Lei Lie was also extremely resentful of Chu Lin.
"This Chu Lin, he killed so many people, if I caught him, I would slice him a thousand times. Unfortunately, he escaped."
A Sect Master spoke with a face full of rage.
Because of Chu Lin and Lei Lie, many of his disciples have died.
"Chu Lin is dead."
Shi Xiaole said.
"Dead?"
That Sect Master was taken aback, then laughed out loud: "Good kill! That guy was walking the path of evil, it’s good that he’s dead, so he can’t harm others. Young Hero Shi, thank you for avenging my disciples."
Dong Yinghao said, "If it wasn’t for Young Hero Shi, I’m afraid all of us would have been fooled by Master Lei Lie and his disciples, and we wouldn’t even know how we died."
Everyone nodded, looking at Shi Xiaole with new admiration and gratitude in their eyes.
The ones with the most complicated feelings were the people of the Changfeng Sect.
They would never have imagined that their Sect Master and Senior Brother were the so-called ’Devil Path demons’.
You know, not only did people from other sects die this time, but many of their familiar Brothers and Sisters from the Changfeng Sect also died.
"Sect Leader Yu, the misguided Martial Arts practitioners can bring serious harm. We could consider organizing a group to search the residences of Lei Lie and Chu Lin. If we recover anything, we could promptly destroy it."
Dong Yinghao turned to Yu Fangge, actively seeking his opinion.
In fact, with Dong Yinghao’s stature and tenure in Mountain Luyan, he didn’t need to do so. But he knew that the rise of the Huajian Sect was unstoppable.
More precisely, the rise of Shi Xiaole was unstoppable.
After today’s battle, it was no longer fitting to call Shi Xiaole the number one disciple of Mountain Luyan. The more accurate term should be, the number one master of Mountain Luyan.
With even Lei Lie defeated, who else could be a match for this young man?
What was even more terrifying was that he was only fifteen years old.
Thinking about this, Dong Yinghao felt neither resentment nor jealousy, only deep respect and admiration.
"Fine, we will follow Sect Leader Dong’s plan."
Yu Fangge was quite humble, he probably knew that the person Dong Yinghao was wary of was only Shi Xiaole.
And so, ten sect masters each assigned some people, who, under the leadership of volunteers from the Changfeng Sect, set out in a grand manner for the Changfeng Sect.
Unfortunately, after two days of continuous search by disciples from thirteen sects, they track down any improper martial arts.
It seemed that Chu Lin, fearing exposure, had destroyed everything early on.
...
"My cultivation has finally reached the mid-stage of Hidden Qi Level Eight."
In his room, Shi Xiaole exhaled slowly.
The injuries inflicted during the vigorous battle with Lei Lie had long been healed under the regulation of the Fuyang Qi Skill, and it had also spurred his cultivation to advance a little.
"If I were to purify my internal power, could I continue to advance?"
Upon reflection, Shi Xiaole took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and swallowed a pill.
This was a Purity Pill.
Back in the underground space, Shi Xiaole had defeated Zhao Nanxing and deterred Chu Lin, successfully obtaining a Jade Radiance Grass.
Just yesterday, the Huajian Sect successfully used this Jade Radiance Grass to refine twenty-four Purity Pills.
Shi Xiaole alone received twelve.
As soon as he swallowed a Purity Pill, it immediately turned into a warm stream of energy spreading all over his body. Instantly, Shi Xiaole felt as if his internal power was being evaporated.
Thin strands of mist emerged from the pores all over his body, dispersing in all directions. The faintly visible mist was black.
The black mist were the impurities in Shi Xiaole’s internal power.
Anyone, no matter what internal skill they cultivate, would produce impurities, the only difference was the quantity.
Since he had the Fuyang Qi Skill in his body, Shi Xiaole’s impurities were naturally less than many people. Now, under the extraction of the Purity Pill, these impurities were gradually expelled from his body and disappeared without a trace.
"Although the volume of internal power has decreased, it’s undoubtedly more pure."
Shi Xiaole was overjoyed.
The strength of internal power depends on both quantity and quality.
If compared, quality is evidently more important.
Becuase as long as the purity and thickness of internal power is sufficient, the total volume can gradually increase.
Conversely, if a person only has a vast amount of internal power, but if it’s very heterogeneous, not only can it not manifest the effectiveness of internal power, but it will also result in insufficient potential power that impedes progress.
Without hesitation, Shi Xiaole swallowed six Purity Pills at once.
Two hours later, his total internal power had reduced by about 5%, but its purity had greatly improved. As his internal power circulated, it was more flexible and swift than before.
The result was that, with a negligible difference in the total internal power, his strength was a bit higher than two hours ago.
More importantly, Shi Xiaole felt a familiar surge in his internal power. This surge was the precursor to breaking the realm of a martial artist.
"The level of Purity Pills is not very high and can’t further extract impurities from the internal power. Eating more will just be a waste. As for Qi Gathering Pills, let’s wait until my cultivation reaches the late-stage of Level Eight to use them."
Based on his current progress, in about ten days, his cultivation should be able to reach the late-stage of Hidden Qi Level Eight. Shi Xiaole planned to use Qi Gathering Pills at that time to break through to Hidden Qi Level Nine in one fell swoop!
As Mountain Luyan had already stabilized, it was time to take leave.
Shi Xiaole looked out the window, his eyes deep.
...
"Xiaole, you continue to exceed expectations."
A day later, in the grand hall of the Huajian Sect, Yu Fangge looked at Shi Xiaole with a beaming smile.
After the satisfactory resolution of this issue, leaders from all sects had visited the previous day.
Even the always arrogant Dong Yinghao had lowered his stance, repeatedly addressing Yu Fangge as ’Brother Fangge’, which made Yu Fangge feel a great sense of pride.
He, of course, knew that all this resulted from the young man in green standing right in front of him.
Thinking back to Shi Xiaole’s initial arrival at the Huajian Sect, he had been timid and hesitant, but now standing tall and radiating vitality, Yu Fangge sometimes found it hard to comprehend how a person could change so much.
Not just him, the other members present in the hall, such as the Second Elder and other high-ranking members of the sect, including the top three personal disciples, were all looking at Shi Xiaole with admiration.
"It was just good luck. Lei Lie and I had a grudge, so I thought I’d take a chance."
Shi Xiaole laughed nonchalantly before saying, "Sect Leader, I came here to bid you farewell."
"Oh, farewell... wait, farewell? Xiaole, are you saying..."
Yu Fangge stood up.
Shi Xiaole said, "Sect Leader, I would like to experience the Martial World, not just limit myself to the Cloud Triangle."
At this, the others also reacted.
