Chapter 1210: Allow Me To Kill Some People

“Yes, and no.” Xue Wushuang’s voice was cold yet pure like a snowflake. She answered frankly, “I came for the Earthly Sovereign Bell, but it is not my only objective. It is just a mission to me; an order from my master that I cannot reject.”

“My true objective is my sword. I wish to hone the sword in my hand and my heart.”

“So, you wish to challenge me?” The lazy voice came from the villa once more.

“Yes. The sword is the only thing for me, and vice versa. I desire to make my sword to become peerless under the heavens.”

Xue Wushuang said calmly and evenly, “That is why I request your guidance, brother Ye!”

“Good. Only when a wielder desires to go beyond can their sword become beyond.”

Inside the villa, a tinge of solemnity entered the lazy voice, “Your sword heart is bright and clear, Snow Fairy. Color me impressed.”

“I accept your challenge, but I ask that you allow me time to take out some annoying rats.”

As soon as the voice said this, a strange three-pronged fork with a serpent for a handle and a dragon’s head for a blade took form.

As soon as the bronze fork appeared, a terrifying aura swept through the area and chilled everyone.

The bronze fork shot into the clouds and disappeared for a moment. Despite this, everyone felt cold to their core. They felt as if a sword and saber was pressed up against their heads, and a spear and an axe pressed up against their bodies. They felt like death was hugging them and slowly choking the life out of them.

The sensation of death only grew as time passed. The weak-willed and weak-powered ones were already sweating hard and turning pale.

The next moment, everyone looked up as if they sensed something.

The sky split open, and multiple beams of blue light pierced through the clouds.

Each bluish beam was a dragon-serpent bronze fork. Multiple of them was like a rain of dragons and serpents.

“H-he’s planning to kill all of us!”

“Run! He’s going to kill everyone!”

“Ahhhh! Run! Run!”

The killing intent emitted by the bluish light was unmistakable. Everyone in the Snow Garden and the Wintersweet Mountain flew into a panic.

“Silence!”

Seeing this, Xue Wushuang furrowed her brow slightly and flicked her fingers. A sword’s cry resounded, sharp but not intense. It swept away the panic and fear in everyone’s heart in just an instant.

Most of these people couldn’t sense it, but she could tell that the bronze forks weren’t aimed at everyone. They were targeting eighteen people to be exact.

The eighteen people ranged from Spirit Master to Trueman in terms of power. Some had disguised themselves as normal people, and some pretended to be servants, part-time workers, and actors of Snow Garden. It was clear that they weren’t good people.

It wasn’t just a guess either. Born to wield a sword, Xue Wushuang’s sword heart was clear and bright. That was why she could clearly sense the dirtiness, darkness, blood stench, and aura of death on their person. It was obvious to her that every single one of these people were villains with much blood on her hands.

She harbored no good will toward these people, which was why she did not care if they lived or died.

Xue Wushuang could sense this because she was as strong as her sword heart was bright. However, the eighteen people who were being targeted couldn’t boast the same thing.

The rain of blue light was about thirty meters away from the ground when suddenly, they combined into eighteen beams of blue light and flew straight at the eighteen warriors.

It was only then the eighteen warriors realized the danger and ran for the exit with all their might.

No one among the eighteen warriors was a weakling. Two of them were even Truemen. It took them just a breath to cross dozens of meters.

Unfortunately for them, the eighteen[1] forks were faster. Soundlessly, the eighteen forks appeared behind their backs almost simultaneously, skewered them, and nailed them to the ground.

“Argh!”

The eighteen warriors did not die immediately after they were nailed to the ground. Bloodcurdling screams escaped their throats as they struggled with all their might, but it was as if their force and mind had been sealed inside their bodies. They were unable to employ any power at all.

This was the final technique of the Blue Demon Eight Ultimates. It was called the “Sky Piercer”.

A long-ranged attack, Sky Piercer was potent enough to pierce through space and shatter the sky. It excelled at offense and was surprisingly difficult to detect despite its potency, making it nigh indefensible as well. When it descended from the sky, it could borrow the power of the sky as well. Given enough power, it could threaten even Great Truemen and Great Grandmasters. It was very powerful.

As if that wasn’t enough, anyone struck by “Sky Piercer” would be temporarily suppressed in terms of true qi, astral qi, and spiritual power. Their yang god would not be able to escape their body as well.

This was why the eighteen people couldn’t break free.

“I... I recognize that person! I think he’s the Blood Partridge of Taisui Mountain[2]!”

“I know that woman! She... She’s the Mad Wife...”

“He’s the King Yama of Heart Digging! I’m sure of it! He’s that bastard who loves digging out one’s heart!”

“Those five... are they... the Five Monsters of Mount Meng? Yes! It has to be them!”

......

It was only now the crowd regained their wits. They were currently looking at the victims and letting out various cries of surprise.

Suddenly, the main entrance to Wintersweet Villa opened, and a young man with his hands behind his back stepped out. As if on cue, the eighteen forks[3] vibrated slightly before dragons and serpents appeared and began feeding on the victims.

“Argh!”

For a time, blood and gore splattered everywhere. Their cries became even shriller and terrible as a result.

Obviously, the spectators were terrified by the gory scene and backed many steps away from the eighteen victims.

“If you’re going to kill them, just kill them. Why do you need to torture them?” Xue Wushuang asked with a frown.

“Are you pitying them?” Ye Qing’s smile looked a little colder than usual. “Do you know who they are?”

“His name is the Ghost Spider. He enjoys planting spider eggs inside living people to raise them. When the spiders hatch, they will slowly feed on the victims’ flesh and blood until all that is left is a patch of human skin. At least eight hundred people have died in his hands, if not a thousand.”

“She is the Blood Partridge. She loves drinking blood, and she especially enjoys drinking the blood of children. Every day, she kills at least one person and drinks their blood without fail. Over a thousand children had died in her hands.”

“His name is Mojia. He was born with an evil heart, and he once practiced a demonic art that allowed him to slaughter over a hundred cities in one night. Tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of people have died in his hands.”

“This man is called Luo Yan, the one they call the King Yama of Heart Digging. He was a loud horse[4] who pillaged, plundered, and generally committed every sin under the sun. He loves nothing more than to dig out a person’s heart and cook it into a satisfactory meal.”

......

Slowly, Ye Qing bared everyone’s crimes and sins under the sun. His tone was calm, but his words were bloody and spine-chilling to say the least.

But how did he know all this? It was all thanks to Westwind Inn. Westwind Inn was both a killer and an intelligence organization, so they knew and stored many

jianghu

warriors’ information and secrets. The reason he wiped out a Westwind Inn wasn’t just to take revenge or slaughtering a chicken to intimidate the monkeys, but also because he wanted all that intelligence for himself.

Ye Qing knew that he would be dealing with countless people’s challenges and ambushes for the foreseeable future. If he could find out their background, martial arts, preferred tactics and so on beforehand, then he would be safer and more prepared. That was why he had taken everything after wiping out the base.

Of course, this “everything” included the martial arts manuals, Strange Artifacts, and other priceless treasure Westwind Inn had kept inside their base. Why not, right? Besides, he felt like it would be insulting to Westwind if he did not take them; like he was implying that their valuables weren’t worth his time. That would be totally rude and unkind.

1. Author actually put nine here. It seems too specific to be a mistake, but I can’t imagine why for the life of me. I can revert my correction if you guys can explain why he put nine here. ☜

3. I FUCKING KNEW IT. DUDE! ☜
