Chapter 57: Who Doesn’t Wish for Peaceful Times
On the long street, more and more people were drawing near. Ling Yi glanced at Qian Luoying and gave a faint smile. “Watch my back for me!”
Qian Luoying took a deep breath, pushing down the tension in her heart, and nodded. “Don’t worry!”
Those who were slowly approaching now saw the unlucky fellows lying scattered on the ground. Each of their faces showed a bloodthirsty expression.
“So they’re just a few chicks who don’t dare to kill.” Someone among the approaching crowd sneered mockingly.
When Jiang Yuntong heard this, he instantly felt his face burn hot.
Being laughed at like this was quite hard for a young man to accept, but it was an undeniable fact.
He couldn’t help but look at Ling Yi. Uncle hadn’t killed anyone either, but Uncle looked so calm…
Ling Yi, empty-handed, looked at the gathering crowd and said to Jiang Yuntong, “Give me your sword.”
Jiang Yuntong was stunned for a moment but didn’t hesitate. He threw the sword in his hand to Ling Yi.
“Watch closely. Your uncle will teach you how to use a sword!”
As he spoke, Ling Yi held the long sword, its tip pointing at the ground, and walked step by step toward the surrounding people.
So cool!
Standing beside her master, Mo Yunwu, who had finally found a sense of security, had little stars in her eyes.
“Kill!”
Someone from the opposite crowd shouted loudly and charged directly at Ling Yi.
Ling Yi casually swung his sword!
Jiang Yuntong’s eyes widened immediately. Over there, Qian Luoying and Mo Yunwu also stared without blinking, their eyes filled with surprise.
Because what Ling Yi was using was actually Heaven’s Gate Sect’s Thirteen Swords of Pine Waves!
This was a sword technique not taught outside Heaven’s Gate Sect. When had Ling Yi learned it?
Could it be that he had only glanced at it a few times this morning and mastered it?
Qian Luoying and her two disciples were all filled with shock.
Moreover, the sword technique in Ling Yi’s hands was on a completely different level compared to Jiang Yuntong. It seemed the same, but the power it unleashed was entirely different!
Swish!
A sword aura flared.
The sword tip pierced toward the abdomen of the charging person at a particularly bizarre angle.
Thud!
The person’s abdomen was instantly pierced by the sword aura, followed by the sharp sword tip!
It went straight through the body in an instant.
At the same time, Ling Yi’s free hand executed the White Crane Palm Technique, striking toward someone who was trying to sneak attack.
What astonished even Qian Luoying was the gust of sharp wind that appeared on Ling Yi’s palm… in her perception, it actually took the shape of a sword!
This… palm-strike sword energy?
Smack!
Ling Yi slapped the person across the face. As the crisp sound of the slap rang out, a blood line appeared on the other’s neck!
The blood line slowly spread, becoming more and more visible… a stream of blood spurted out from it!
All of this happened in an instant.
By the time people reacted, Ling Yi had already turned and charged toward a new opponent without looking back!
Graceful, free and easy, agile, dominant!
This was also the first time Qian Luoying had gotten a relatively complete look at Ling Yi’s true combat strength.
What shocked her even more was that so far, Ling Yi had only used Second Order/Phase level… that is, the sharp wind on his sword and palm.
He hadn’t even used Third Order power, yet he was already this terrifying.
Whew!
If the opponents were only at this level, what was the point of me watching his back?
In terms of build, Ling Yi, at 1.85 meters, was relatively tall, but his agility was astonishing.
After fighting for a while, the enemies hadn’t even managed to touch a corner of his clothing!
In the blink of an eye, Ling Yi arrived before the person who had just mocked them as a bunch of chicks. He raised his hand and struck with the sword.
The other only had time to make a blocking motion before the sword pierced through his chest.
“Chicks who don’t dare to kill?”
Ling Yi’s cold gaze fixed on him. He pulled out the sword and thrust back—
Another one down!
Most of these people died with their eyes wide open, probably unable to believe that they, who had committed every evil, would die in such a simple “hunting” activity.
Yes, they called this kind of pre-informed robbery “hunting.”
Over the years, countless people had lost their lives to such hunting.
This group was not only cautious but also very united, their blades always pointing outward together.
So losses like today’s, they had suffered before, but rarely, and usually not this badly.
The group that hadn’t had time to surround them yet couldn’t help but yell wildly, “The fishbone is too hard! Retreat!”
Finding no opportunity and not clinging to the fight was also this group’s greatest characteristic.
“Just a fishbone being too hard?” Ling Yi accelerated his attack frequency again, like a great shark charging into a school of sardines!
There were quite a few people who came this time, at least forty or fifty, but in just a few minutes, the long street was littered with bodies!
Blood flowed like a river, its glow soaring to the sky!
The air was thick with the smell of blood.
This was the Chaos Zone.
There would never be anyone like the City Guard Army descending from the sky to maintain order.
You either killed, or you were killed.
The dog demon that had once stared at their cart watched this scene from afar, its green eyes filled with fear.
“Woof!”
It let out an uncontrollable yelp, turned, and left.
A moment later, apart from the corpses, the street was empty.
Qian Luoying’s face was somewhat pale. It wasn’t that she had never killed anyone, but this kind of… near-massacre scene was something she was seeing for the first time.
Jiang Yuntong stood there dazedly like a wooden stake, his eyes blank, no one knowing what was on his mind.
Mo Yunwu suddenly retched, then squatted on the ground and vomited.
Some bloodstains seeped from Ling Yi’s body.
They weren’t from fresh injuries; they were from old wounds that hadn’t fully healed, reopened by the fight.
He came before Jiang Yuntong, handed the sword back to him, and asked, “Did you understand?”
Jiang Yuntong took the sword with a pale face. He nodded, then shook his head.
“Next time you come, a few more practices will do,” Ling Yi said.
Looking at the pile of corpses on the ground, Jiang Yuntong finally couldn’t hold back. He let out a loud “wah” and crouched down to vomit.
Next time? You call this practice?
Ling Yi smiled but didn’t continue provoking the poor kid.
Who wouldn’t want to lazily lie on the sofa watching TV, playing with their phone, or taking a long nap? Who wouldn’t want to leisurely take their girlfriend all over the world, enjoying romantic moments under the moonlight?
Those who are born liking to kill are just psychopaths!
When he smelled the blood and saw the scene, did he not feel like throwing up?
It was just that after he killed that thug who wanted to bully Su Qingqing back then, he had already secretly vomited!
Although he didn’t see that person die with his own eyes, Ling Yi quietly inquired later. That thug, abandoned by his companions, died on the spot.
Su Qingqing didn’t see Ling Yi vomit, but she knew. Because for more than a month after that, Ling Yi felt sick at the sight of meat!
Last time when he took down that Golden Body, although he didn’t vomit, he still felt uncomfortable for a long time.
This time, he also felt disgusted and nauseated.
If this were in Qin State, he definitely wouldn’t have been so ruthless. At most, he would have made the opponent lose the ability to resist, then packed them up and handed them over to the City Guard Army.
But this was the Chaos Zone!
Besides being killed, being softhearted would only earn you a bunch of cold and merciless mockery.
Why bother?
Qian Luoying, whose face was also somewhat pale, looked at the blood seeping from Ling Yi’s body and asked, “Are you hurt?”
“It’s fine, it’s an old wound,” Ling Yi said.
“What about us…” Qian Luoying looked at Ling Yi and asked softly.
“Get in the car, let’s go back,” Ling Yi said to Qian Luoying.
“You’re hurt. Let me drive,” Qian Luoying said.
“You can drive?” Ling Yi was a bit skeptical.
Qian Luoying finally couldn’t help but laugh at Ling Yi’s question. “What, people from hidden Sects can’t drive? This thing is ridiculously simple!”
Actually, she had really been a bit scared of the invisible killing aura emanating from Ling Yi just now.
Even if you just killed a few pigs in one go, a bit of killing aura would show. Let alone taking down so many enemies in one breath.
Although Ling Yi was intentionally restraining his killing aura, it really wasn’t that easy to hide.
Five minutes later.
Ling Yi, sitting in the passenger seat, looked helplessly at Qian Luoying in the driver’s seat.
The seat was adjusted extremely close to the front, with no gap between her body and the steering wheel—in fact, there were even two extra parts…
Her hands gripped the steering wheel as if she had a grudge against it, clutching it tightly—
“Sis, have you really driven before?”
“I drove once, and I thought it was super simple back then…”
“You haven’t released the handbrake yet…” Ling Yi covered his face and reminded her. “How about I drive instead?”
“No,” the elder sister was very stubborn, her gaze fixed firmly ahead. “I can drive!”
“Then can we release the handbrake first? I’m afraid we won’t make it home like this.” Ling Yi smiled bitterly.
“Oh, right, the handbrake, release the handbrake… release the handbrake… handbrake… where is it?”
“…”
“Sis, let me do it!” Ling Yi said with a determined look.
One minute later.
Qian Luoying sat listlessly in the passenger seat, her face flushed, a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.
Driving was so fun, and she hadn’t had enough yet!
But when they switched seats just now, the two little ones in the back clearly breathed a sigh of relief. It made her realize that while she might be a genius in cultivation, it didn’t cover everything.
The car finally started moving smoothly.
There were hardly any pedestrians along the way. Ling Yi drove extremely fast. As they approached the manor, a group of people suddenly appeared ahead, blocking the road!
Ling Yi’s foot eased off the pedal, then pressed down hard!
The car roared and charged straight toward the group.
The group had originally planned to stop the car and then attack. They never expected the driver to act like a madman, accelerating and crashing toward them. Instinctively, they all jumped aside.
Inside the car, Qian Luoying and her two disciples once again became highly tense.
After rushing past the crowd, Ling Yi stepped on the brake again. The car came to a stop just as the people who had jumped aside earlier rushed over.
Ling Yi got out of the car. Though his hands appeared empty, he already held that small knife he had never been without all these years.
This time, he didn’t call Jiang Yuntong out of the car to practice, didn’t tease Mo Yunwu again, and didn’t even ask Qian Luoying to watch his back.
Only endless killing intent erupted from Ling Yi’s body.
His eyes, when looking at the other side, turned as cold as the polar regions.
Because among this group, he saw two familiar figures.
They were from Black Mountain, and had once participated in the ambush that killed his Adoptive Father… the Golden Bodies from Chu State!
