Chapter 1186: Chapter 1186: Just Killed Them
"Sword Spirit, I know it’s you."
Xiao Yi looked at the Cold Flame Sword in his hand, his expression extremely grim.
He knew long ago that the Cold Flame Sword harbored a Sword Spirit.
However, in his perception, this trace of Sword Spirit was quite fragile, so he hadn’t paid much attention to it.
"Don’t let there be a next time," Xiao Yi’s voice was icy cold.
"Otherwise, even if you are a Mid-grade Holy Artifact, I have ways to destroy you."
As the words fell, Xiao Yi withdrew the Cold Flame Sword.
Although he didn’t know why the Sword Spirit absorbed the essence blood of the Martial Artist,
that didn’t mean Xiao Yi would allow it.
The Blood Pill within him, he wouldn’t destroy it, but he also wouldn’t allow it to grow unchecked.
"Xiao Yi, are you alright?" Qing Lin asked worriedly.
"I’m fine." Xiao Yi shook his head.
Just earlier, that Blood Pill suddenly grew and impacted his mind, but it wasn’t a big deal.
"However," Xiao Yi frowned, looking at Qing Lin, "I killed a Peak of Saint King Realm Martial Artist from the Heavenly Nether Mansion, so the enmity is set."
"I can’t ensure whether the Heavenly Nether Mansion will pursue us."
"So, perhaps we can train separately and return to the Academy together in six months."
"Xiao Yi," Qing Lin’s face turned cold, "Are you saying this because you look down on me, Qing Lin?"
"No." Xiao Yi shook his head, "It’s just..."
"Then that’s fine," Qing Lin waved his hand, "Have you forgotten what we said before?"
"Ha," Xiao Yi smiled knowingly.
He remembered, back when they were hunted by the Heavenly King Mountain, and also by the Black Poison Saint King, they had said similar things.
And back then, Qing Lin had already given an answer.
"As the senior brother, it’s only natural that I cover you, junior brother," Qing Lin boasted shamelessly.
"Then let’s go." Xiao Yi smiled.
The two of them flew away, controlling the air.
...
Behind them, in the distance.
A group of black-clothed Martial Artists fled in panic.
Only after fleeing hundreds of thousands of miles did this group of Martial Artists slightly breathe a sigh of relief.
"It seems we weren’t pursued," the elder wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, steadying his injuries with his Primordial Power.
"No wonder he’s a disciple of Hui Wushi, someone taught by such a legendary figure is indeed formidable."
The elder’s eyes were filled with resentment and shock.
"Is Hui Wushi really that powerful?" The young man beside him frowned and asked.
The elder nodded gravely, "Back when Hui Wushi left the Heavenly Nether Mansion, Young Master, you weren’t born yet, so you wouldn’t know."
The young man’s expression turned unpleasant, "That Hui Wushi left decades ago, alone."
"But the disciples he taught are still so strong?"
The young man was undoubtedly the Young Master of the Heavenly Nether Mansion.
Yet he, a talent cultivated by the Heavenly Nether Mansion with all its resources, couldn’t even withstand a single move from Xiao Yi?
The elder shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Young Master, have you heard of the three great Peak Sword Cultivators in the Central Region?"
"Three great Peak Sword Cultivators?" the young man looked puzzled, "Isn’t it two?"
"No." The elder shook his head, "Originally, there were three great Peak Sword Cultivators."
"Back then, the battle within the Sword Domain, including the Cloud Abyss Sword, and even the elder from the Heavenly Sword Peak of the Heavenly Hidden Academy, was earth-shattering, shocking the Central Region."
"It was in this earth-shattering battle that Hui Wushi broke through, ignoring all the sword cultivators present, and instantaneously slew one of them."
"What?" The young man’s face changed dramatically upon hearing this.
"To fight against the Cloud Abyss Sword and that elder from the Heavenly Sword Peak, wouldn’t they be extraordinary, to be slain on the spot?"
"Yes." The elder nodded, "Since then, of the three great Peak Sword Cultivators, only two remained."
"However, Hui Wushi himself was also a Sword Cultivator, thus becoming one of the three great Peak Sword Cultivators."
"But later, Hui Wushi vanished without a trace, and only the names of the two great Peak Sword Cultivators were passed down."
"I heard that after the battle among the three, the outcome was unknown."
The young man frowned, "With such achievements and at the height of his fame, why did Hui Wushi suddenly disappear?"
"That’s his own doing," the elder sneered dismissively.
"After the Sword Domain battle, he went mad and slaughtered everywhere."
"Within the Central Region, nearly dozens of first-class forces were massacred by him, earning him the title of ’Killing God’ of the Central Region."
"The most audacious was that he even dared to assassinate the Hall Master of the Flame Hall, who was one of the Ten Great Hall Masters."
"Later, the Flame Hall Main Hall was furious, and several halls including the Flame Hall and the Demon Hunting Hall joined forces to send out experts to pursue him."
"In the end, 8 Main Hall Masters, over a hundred Sub Hall Masters, and each Sub Hall’s Law Enforcement Team exceeded ten thousand, none returned, all perished."
"After that, Hui Wushi disappeared, and no one knew where he went."
"And our Heavenly Nether Mansion’s connection with him?" the young man asked with confusion.
"Hmph." The elder snorted coldly, "He betrayed us long ago."
"Thirty-three top assassins within the mansion, all trained by him, were slaughtered by him one by one."
"Why?" the young man asked.
"I don’t know either," the elder shook his head, "Rumor has it that he practiced the path of bloodthirstiness, his heart demon erupted, and he went mad."
"I’ve also heard there are other reasons."
"But specifically how, I’m not clear."
"In summary, this person is a legend, a Killing God, yet also a madman."
"Otherwise, with the influence of our Heavenly Nether Mansion, we wouldn’t be too afraid to pursue him over the years and instead stay silent."
"However, this person is on our Heavenly Nether Mansion’s must-kill list, and after completing the task here, we must return to report to the Master for further discussion."
The young man nodded, "Continue fleeing for a while, and once Elder Tian’s injuries heal, complete the task here."
...
In the distance.
Xiao Yi and Qing Lin were flying rapidly.
It must be said, Qing Lin was quite a chatterbox.
Xiao Yi had already mentioned that traveling with someone like Qing Lin meant the journey would never be dull.
At this moment, Qing Lin was bombarding Xiao Yi with questions non-stop.
"Xiao Yi, I’ve never seen you suddenly explode in anger," Qing Lin asked with great interest.
"Do you have a lot on your mind?"
"Feel free to tell me, you should know, I’m always tight-lipped, once I hear it, it’s heard."
"You’re tight-lipped?" Xiao Yi suddenly laughed.
"Nothing much on my mind." Xiao Yi shook his head.
"Liar." Qing Lin pouted, "Nothing’s bothering you and you suddenly erupt? Show no mercy?"
Xiao Yi smiled faintly, "I got angry because there aren’t many people or things in this world that I value immensely."
"They just happened to touch my bottom line."
"Besides, just a bunch of inexplicable guys, I kill them, then they’re killed."
"Kill them, then they’re killed?" Qing Lin shook his head, understanding that even though Xiao Yi spoke casually, there was definitely a story behind it.
"There’s always time in the future, and you’ll eventually be willing to tell."
A day later, the two flew over a large city.
Outside the city, the two suddenly halted their flight.
"Hmm? What a dense demon beast aura?" Xiao Yi frowned.
In the distance was a massive Demon Beast Forest.
Within the forest, at this moment, it was evident that the aura was in chaos, with beast roars echoing through the heavens and earth.
"It’s a Beast Tide," Qing Lin exclaimed in surprise.
