Chapter 61 - Illusory Seven Killings Sword!

“Bai Shichen.”

Yang Lingqing took a few steps forward and stood in front of everyone. Holding back her tears, she glared coldly at the two Bai youths, clenched her teeth, and asked boldly, “Are you sure you want me to go with you?”

Bai Shichen froze, then he met Bai Shiji’s eyes and grinned. “Lingqing, have you finally come to your senses? This is a good thing. You and Lingyue will be able to live with the Bai family in the future. It’ll be a happy life, don’t you think?”

As if she hadn’t heard his mocking words, Yang Lingqing continued, still holding back tears, “I have two conditions.”

This piqued Bai Shichen’s curiosity. “What conditions? Can I hear them?”

The whole Yang family cried while watching the teenage girl speak. Yang Lingqing said with full resolve, “The first condition is to let them go. All the masters of the Yang family have died in your hands, and these are the old and the vulnerable. They’ll never be a threat to you. The Bai family isn’t afraid of them, right?”

Bai Shichen looked at the group of crying Yang family members. Although his grandfather had commanded him to slaughter them all, he decided that he could agree to this condition when he thought about how Yang Lingqing would follow him willingly.

I can just pretend to agree for now. When she becomes mine, I’ll just send someone to kill them all. Wouldn’t the result be the same? I pity Yang Lingqing. Although she’s beautiful, I, Bai Shichen, am still much smarter than any woman. When I’m done playing with you, I’ll send you to the Jade Palace Brothel. Maybe even to the Blood Saints!

Bai Shiji and Bai Shichen were thinking the same thing. They looked at each other, then they agreed to Yang Lingqing’s condition with grins. “Although my grandfather has commanded us to kill them all, I am willing to disobey him for you, Lingqing. I believe my father will understand!”

Bai Shichen and Bai Shiji were both relaxed. Bai Sheng and Bai Li’s victory against the Yang masters was all but confirmed. There were four powerful fighters on their side, two at the Eighth Draconic Stage and two at the Seventh Draconic Stage. The old, weak, young, and women of the Yang lot were easy to kill any time. They were bored anyway, so this was a fun game to play.

Bai Zhanfeng, who was behind Bai Shiji, frowned and asked Bai Zhanlong next to him, “Eldest Brother, if they continue playing games like this and cause delays, won’t it affect Father’s plans?”

Bai Zhanlong smiled. “Xue Yuanzi is a fantastic master at the Human Core Realm who is more than ten times stronger than the old man from the Yang family. With Father and Second Uncle there as well, the Yang family stands no chance. Shichen and Shiji have just recovered and have some trauma, so just let them play a little. They’ll throw their toys away when they get bored. I’m just afraid they’ve got permanent trauma. To be honest, that little Yang bastard is just a bit too inhuman when it comes to talent ...”

When he thought of the teenager, Bai Zhanlong’s brows furrowed and he sighed. “If only the Bai family had a prodigy like that. How nice would that be ...”

Yang Lingqing stood her ground against Bai Zhanlong and Zhanfeng’s stares. She glared at Bai Shichen with iciness and hatred. That was when Bai Shichen asked, “Lingqing, what is your second condition?”

Yang Lingqing had now received the sword from Yang Wu. The long sword was hidden in its sheath, only revealing its jade-like hilt. An intense aura radiated from the sword, making Bai Zhanlong and Zhanfeng frown!

They were wondering where the sword had come from, but Yang Lingqing walked up to Bai Shichen with the weapon in hand. She clenched her teeth and finally said, “Bai Shichen, listen carefully. My second condition is that you defeat me!”

All the Bai family members were stunned by Yang Lingqing’s words.

Bai Zhanlong and Bai Zhanfeng reacted quickly though. They looked at each other and smiled while Bai Shiji was bending over with laughter. When Bai Shichen heard the request, he smirked and said, “Now that is a request I can definitely fulfill. Lingqing, don’t be afraid! I won’t hurt you!”

The Bai family agreed happily, but when the Yang family members heard that Yang Lingqing had made such a request, their faces changed instantly. Yang Lingyue knew that Yang Lingqing was no match for them and screamed tearfully, “Lingqing, no!”

But Lingqing had already made her decision. Her eyes were filled with determination, and she turned to look at the Yang family one last time. Memories flashed through her mind. She recalled happier times with her family, the little moments she spent at home, then finally, she thought of Long Chen. She thought about how he had single-handedly turned the tides of battle to save the whole Yang family.

Big Brother, you are my inspiration. I’ll take a page from your book today ...

When she thought of Long Chen, a burst of confidence rushed through Yang Lingqing’s heart, as if he was physically there cheering for her. Infinite power filled her thin body.

She turned around with resolve, her hand on the hilt of the sword. When Bai Shichen saw the determination and resilience in her eyes, he suddenly felt like he could see Long Chen in her!

Long Chen was the person of his nightmares.

Bai Shichen, you’ve really gone mad ...

He chided himself lightly, then he gently pushed Bai Shichi behind him. He said lovingly to Yang Lingqing, “Alright, Lingqing, do it. I’ll play with you. Don’t worry, I’ll treat you well.”

Bai Shichen’s smile was as warm as the sun in spring, but in Yang Lingqing’s eyes, it was the most disgusting thing in the world. She took a deep breath, then her eyes turned cold. The next moment, she charged towards Bai Shichen with lightning speed!

Bai Shichen gave a small smile. Everything was within his control.

As she neared him, the corner of Yang Lingqing’s mouth curved up slightly. When Bai Shichen was ten meters away, she unsheathed the Illusory Seven Killings Sword as quickly as possible!

Bai Shichen was still smiling, not intending to attack her at all. Bai Zhanfeng’s and Bai Zhanlong’s brows suddenly furrowed because they had a bad feeling the moment before she unsheathed the sword. That was when they saw the sword shining brightly in the light!

From Bai Shichen’s perspective, Yang Lingqing had turned into an illusion, as if she momentarily wasn’t real. The blurry images from the sword looked just like a pattern of flowers. He couldn’t tell what was real or fake. Every flower looked like an ethereal sculpture from beyond this world.

But he didn’t think it was a sword technique! He thought it was a performance! “Illusory Seven Killings Sword ... Flower Illusory Blade!”

When Bai Shichen truly felt the fatal blow, Yang Lingqing’s strikes had already fully rained down on his body. The beautiful flower patterns had turned into sharp cuts with powerful killing intent, all targeting Bai Shichen!

“Chen’er, watch out!” Bai Zhanfeng and Zhanlong called anxiously from behind. Bai Shichen also sensed that something was off because Yang Lingqing had turned from a flower into a sharp sword!

Yang Lingqing was only at the Sixth Draconic Stage, but when she wielded the Illusory Seven Killings Sword Technique along with the Yellow-tier Illusory Glass Sword, her strength completely exceeded the Sixth Draconic Stage and was closing in on the Eighth. Most importantly, Bai Shichen had not perceived Yang Lingqing as a threat at all, so he only realized it when she was about to hit him!

But it was too late. He was overcome with fear. Yang Lingqing’s attack had completely exceeded his expectations!

He had the exact same feeling as the day Long Chen had defeated him. And when he thought of Long Chen, he felt a chill in his abdomen. The gripping fear crawled into his heart like the devil!

He no longer saw Yang Lingqing as herself. She was Long Chen!

Everything happened in an instant. At that moment, Bai Shichen unleashed his half-formed Abyssal Heaven Fingers’ First Finger of Devil Transformation to defend himself against Yang Lingqing’s Illusory Seven Killings Sword Technique. But would a complete Illusory Seven Killings Sword Technique paired with the Illusory Glass Sword be that simple to defeat?

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, numerous rays from her sword shattered his finger technique. Yang Lingqing’s gaze was icy and determined as countless rays rained onto Bai Shichen’s body. He screamed in agony, his cries chilling enough to make their scalps go numb!

Bai Zhanlong’s and Bai Zhanfeng’s hearts broke when they heard him. They roared in rage and charged to his rescue, but Yang Lingqing had already sheathed her sword and was quickly retreating!

Her eyes were teary, bloodshot, and filled with determination. There was not a hint of regret or fear.

The Yang family was completely silent, staring woodenly at Yang Lingqing. Bai Zhanlong and Bai Zhanfeng had arrived in front of Bai Shichen, who was staring at Lingqing with wide eyes in full disbelief.

His clothes had been cut into pieces, and Bai Zhanlong froze in shock when he touched him.

Bai Shichen’s body suddenly separated into pieces and crashed into the ground. Blood stained Bai Zhanlong’s clothes and eyes red.

When the young Yang children witnessed the gruesome death of Bai Shichen, they screamed and some of them started to vomit.

Yang Lingyue’s mind went blank when she saw the body. She couldn’t think about what would happen next and she didn’t even wonder how Yang Lingqing had managed to kill Bai Shichen. Only the image of Bai Shichen’s body remained branded deep in her mind. She felt her stomach churn!

Yang Wu was also stunned. He looked up at the thin teenage girl standing in front of them and bit his lip. “Lingqing, good one ...”

Although Yang Wu’s voice was soft, Yang Lingqing heard him very clearly. She never thought she would kill someone. This was her first time taking a life, and also the most memorable kill of her life!

There was infinite rage and hatred within her. This was the only way she knew to maintain the dignity of the Yang family, the only way to fulfill Yang Qingxuan’s instructions before he left.

When he saw how his son was brutally killed, Bai Zhanlong and the rest sank into manic rage. Although Yang Lingqing was staring at three Bai family members who had turned into devils with rage, she did not feel a hint of fear. She gripped the Illusory Glass Sword tightly with resolve in her eyes.

Big Brother, I’m sure you’ll be satisfied with my performance today. I will be able to brag to you about it in the afterlife ...

Yang Lingqing closed her eyes when she thought of him, and a smile crept up her face.

She suddenly thought of the first time Long Chen stood up for her when she was six.

He has protected me since I was small. Is that what a big brother does?

When Yang Lingqing opened her eyes, Bai Zhanlong and the others had turned into devils and were charging towards her. The auras of the three Eighth Draconic Stage cultivators paralyzed her!

The shadow of death was looming over the entire Yang family.

In the end, Yang Lingqing could no longer hold back her tears.

Because she spotted a blood-red figure sprinting down from the Desolate Mountains in the distance!
