BXBX NOVEL Chapter 58: Bloodbath
However, retreating was a dream when Elder Jing refused to let him off easily for lunging toward her.
“Frostic blade,” Elder Jing exclaimed as her hand turned into ice as she flung them toward Elder Du Hanli.
Elder Du Hanli widened his eyes in surprise as he was able to examine a little bit of Elder Jing’s cultivation.
“P-Peak 7th stage Nascent Soul realm.”
Elder Du Hanli turned pale when he was only at the 5th stage of Nascent Soul. He was frightened by Elder Jing’s prowess and wished he hadn’t targeted the Feather Wind Sect.
Meanwhile, Elder Jing didn’t even care about his words as she continued to pursue him. If it weren’t because of the restriction that caused her cultivation to be in the Nascent Soul realm, then just her Houtian realm alone is enough to massacre them all without any effort.
“W-Wait, please forgive us and let bygones be bygones,” Elder Du Hanli pleaded as he avoided the frost blade from Elder Jing.
Elder Jing curved her lips upward and smiled. “Sure, we’ll let the past event be ignored once you’re dead.”
Elder Du Hanli’s face darkened and started to run away in panic. He knew if he stayed any longer then he would have to forfeit his life.
“Block against her for me,” Elder Du Hanli shouted as he caused a wind impact on his disciples.
The disciples weren’t prepared to be attacked by their own elders to be forced onto the frontline. Elder Jing merely smirked at this outcome as she swiftly finished each one of them.
They couldn’t even scream in agony as their head was no longer attached to their neck.
Xian Min, Zou Ling, and Lei Chen turned pale as they couldn’t believe the outcome of this fight. Instead of the Feather Wind Sect disciples dying, it was the Purple Scorpion Sect disciples dying, and worst of all, a third-rate sect managed to massacre the first-rate sect.
Meanwhile, Elder Du Hanli took the time that Elder Jing used to kill his disciples in a bloody manner to escape.
‘Hmph, Elder Jing, this vengeance will not be forgotten by me. Just wait till we go back outside and see if your sect can survive the next day.’ Elder Du Hanli cursed inwardly as he leaped toward the forest.
Hiding in the forest and concealing his presence is his only option now to survive. However, just as his foot landed on the tree branch, a blade pierced his heart.
Elder Du Hanli vomited blood as he placed his hand softly on the location where his heart was. His hand passes right through his body because it has a large hole on it and when he glances at the blade in front of him.
He was dumbfounded as he realized the blade was a battle spirit. “T-To think I was ambushed when it was always me ambushing others.”
Elder Du Hanli said his final words before dropping to the soft soil. At the same time, the battle spirit swung around to get rid of the heart and it dropped right next to his face.
Shortly after, a figure appeared behind as he smiled briefly at the battle spirit that’s hovering around the air.
“Xiao Wei, good job,” Yang Wei praised as Xiao Wei dashed toward him.
Yang Wei has already known that someone like Elder Du Hanli was a selfish person that would value his life more than anything.
Thus, he had already escaped here to wait for Elder Du Hanli’s arrival since Xian Min’s life was guaranteed to be over as his time limit on burning his blood essence had come.
However, Yang Wei did not walk over to Elder Du Hanli’s corpse as he wasn’t sure if he still had one last move against him.
“Xiao Wei, pierce his spiritual core as well,” Yang Wei ordered.
Xiao Wei didn’t wait any further as it lunged forward, aiming his sharp sword at Elder Du Hanli’s spiritual core.
At this time, Elder Du Hanli who was supposedly dead, stood up to dodge Xiao Wei’s strike.
“Cough, a talented youth indeed. Cough Cough, to be this cautious even when I pretend to be dead,” Elder Du Hanli said slowly as he coughed multiple drops of blood.
As a cultivator, losing his heart temporarily was not enough to kill him as he can supply it with true qi. However, if his spiritual core is shattered then that’s a different story because he would have no way to utilize true qi in his body.
He was pretending to be dead to escape slowly after Yang Wei left but he didn’t expect Yang Wei to finish everything thoroughly as he ordered Xiao Wei to pierce his spiritual core.
“For an old monster like you, I would be ashamed of myself to let you live when I have this perfect chance.” Yang Wei exclaimed as he lunged forward to strike him down.
Elder Du Hanli smirked at his arrogant behavior as he threw his Toxic Smoke toward him.
“Hahaha, arrogant youth who is impulsive.” Elder Du Hanli became joyful to sneak attack Yang Wei with his Toxic Smoke.
After the smoke dissipates, Elder Du Hanli happily walks forward to kill Yang Wei swiftly before escaping since Elder Jing was about to catch up to him.
“Huh? Where is that brat?” Elder Du Hanli widened his eyes in surprise when Yang Wei who was supposed to be laying in the ground, unable to move even a limb was nowhere to be found.
“Tsk tsk tsk, Elder Jing was correct when she called you a naive fool,” Yang Wei voiced echoing in the forest and before Elder Du Hanli could respond.
Xiao Wei was already in position and swiftly pierce his spiritual core, finalizing Elder Du Hanli’s last struggle.
“H-How did you know?”
That was the final sentence of a scheming person who has killed many with his poison.
Meanwhile, Yang Wei slowly approached his dead body and said, “I know because I use my brain unlike someone else.”
Afterward, he knelt down to retrieve his spatial ring and cleaned up the scenes before leaving to meet up with Elder Jing and the rest.
