Chapter 23: A dark and windy night of murder, a bloodbath in the Myriad Evil Mansion!
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Xie Tian's eyes were cold. Holding his battle sword, he unleashed thousands of streaks of Sword Qi into the void. The Sword Qi blazed, pouring down like a sudden rainstorm.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Sword Qi poured down!
The entire Evil Palace was reduced to ruins in this terrifying rain of swords, and the frightening Sword Qi echoed throughout the Myriad Evil Mansion!
But what was shocking was that, despite the vast Sword Qi and the pouring sword-rain, Ning Ye stood there with his hands clasped behind his back, neither dodging nor evading.
The sword light seemed to pierce through his body like sudden rain, but in reality, it didn't touch him in the slightest!
It seemed Ning Ye moved his body in extremely subtle arcs, avoiding all attacks!
"How is this possible?"
Xie Tian's eyes widened, looking in shock at the incredible scene before him—something that completely surpassed his understanding.
Meanwhile, Xie Di had silently appeared behind Ning Ye. Yet, Ning Ye seemed unaware.
Xie Di held a massive war hammer, aiming a fierce blow at Ning Ye's head.
But just as the war hammer was about to descend, Ning Ye struck out with a backhand palm without even turning his head!
Boom!!!
This palm struck Xie Di squarely in the chest.
Pfft!
Xie Di violently spat out a large mouthful of blood. His entire body flew backward like a broken kite, crashing heavily to the ground and creating a large crater.
At this moment, hundreds of bones throughout his body shattered simultaneously, and only one thought remained in his mind: 'Legend! This guy... must be a Legend Realm expert!'
"It's time to end this!"
Ning Ye shook his head. Although Heavenly Prohibition was powerful, its consumption was also extremely terrifying, so a quick battle was the best approach.
Clang!!!
The heavenly saber was unsheathed.
Ning Ye held the Reverse Moon Heavenly Saber, his gaze fixed on the Evil Sect Elder, Xie Tian. His figure flickered, disappearing from the spot and transforming into a streak of light that instantly pierced through Xie Tian's body.
Zheng!
A flash of saber light appeared, bringing with it a string of splattering blood beads.
Xie Tian stood stunned on the spot; a red line appeared on his neck, and blood gushed out from it like a fountain.
'The blade arrived first!'
'The sound of the blade only just reached?!'
'What a fast saber!'
His thoughts ended there.
A head flew high into the air.
Blood poured down like a sudden rain, staining the ground red.
"Senior Brother!"
Upon seeing this bloody scene, Xie Di's eyes couldn't help but turn blood-red, and the killing intent and rage in his heart reached their peak.
Just then, a cold voice eerily sounded from behind him.
"Brotherly love?"
"Very good!"
"Then you can go down and accompany your Senior Brother!"
The instant the words fell...
The sound of a blade piercing flesh and blood also rang out.
"Ah!!!"
Xie Di grunted, blood gushing from his mouth. He looked down at the blade protruding from his chest and opened his mouth.
He wanted to say something, but it was stuck in his throat; not a word could come out as blood choked him.
Pfft!!!
Ning Ye pulled out the heavenly saber, bringing with it a string of blood beads.
Rumble!!!
Xie Di's body crashed to the ground like a collapsing mountain.
Two Peak Star Gathering Ninth Realm experts—two Evil Sect Elders—had fallen!
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for killing two Star Gathering Ninth Realm experts, gaining 10 years of lifespan.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for killing two Star Gathering Ninth Realm experts, your cultivation has increased!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for advancing to Star Gathering Third Realm!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for advancing to Star Gathering Fourth Realm!]
Listening to the System prompts in his ear, Ning Ye couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
He felt that this battle was truly worthwhile; killing two Star Gathering Ninth Realm experts directly increased his cultivation by three minor realms.
What was regrettable was that this time he only gained ten years of lifespan. However, thinking about it, these two Evil Sect Elders didn't have much lifespan left anyway, so gaining 10 years was still pretty good!
Meanwhile, as his thoughts churned, a bored voice sounded by his ear.
"Daddy!"
"Let's go!"
"It's a bit boring!"
Hearing this, Ning Ye glanced at Su Baizhou, who was yawning, and then looked at her masterpiece, somewhat stunned.
Over a dozen Transcendent Realm experts!
Over a hundred Innate and Body Tempering Realm martial artists!
They were all standing neatly together!
They had all been frozen into ice sculptures by Su Baizhou!
Crack!
A night breeze blew, the ice sculptures shattered, and ice shards scattered all over the ground!
This scene was truly shocking!
"As expected of you!"
Ning Ye smiled and ruffled Su Baizhou's hair. Su Baizhou seemed to enjoy Ning Ye's touch, giggling out loud.
"Let's go!"
Ning Ye took Su Baizhou's hand and walked out of the Myriad Evil Mansion.
...
Meanwhile, just as Ning Ye took Su Baizhou out of Southern Frontier City and headed towards Tianmen Pass, a large number of figures had already arrived at the Myriad Evil Mansion.
A white-haired Elder in a purple evil robe looked at the bodies of Xie Tian and Xie Di—the two Evil Sect Elders—and then at the ice shards all over the ground, his face extremely grim.
"Divine Punishment Elder, what should we do now?" an Evil Sect expert asked.
Hearing this, the white-haired Elder only said two words.
"Take blood!"
After speaking, he took out an ancient mirror named the Evil Path Mirror, which was the Evil Sect's supreme treasure. Its function was that with just a drop of blood, it could trace and reflect fragmented scenes from before a person's death.
However, the cost was enormous, requiring ten years of the user's lifespan. But now that the Evil Sect's Second Young Master was dead, the Myriad Evil Mansion was destroyed, and the Ghost Spirit Girl was missing, only by this method could the culprit be tracked down!
"Hmph!"
"Now I want to see who is so bold as to dare kill my Evil Sect's Second Young Master and slaughter my Evil Sect's Myriad Evil Mansion!"
"This venerable one will surely make them pay a blood debt!"
The white-haired Elder spoke with hatred.
