Rebirth of the Cultivation Devil-Chapter 1219 - 1144: The Safest Is Among the Dead

"Hmph, I will absolutely not step aside. You’ve committed such despicable acts, tarnishing the name of a righteous sect!" Lin Yanran declared righteously, positioning herself horizontally, with her treasure sword drawn, blocking in front of Ye Qingfeng.

Although she disliked Ye Qingfeng greatly, she held even more disdain for Sha Hao’s actions.

"I’ll hold Lin Yanran back, you all go and kill that guy!" Sha Hao said coldly, having no interest in wasting words with this naive little girl.

She was under her sect’s protection and didn’t understand the hardships of cultivation; obtaining this elixir was crucial for them.

Sha Hao and his group immediately took action, directly attacking Ye Qingfeng, while Lin Yanran, without any hesitation, drew her sword to block them.

Ye Qingfeng stood up but didn’t walk away, instead leaning against that green pine, watching Lin Yanran and the three opponents with interest.

Ye Qingfeng easily assessed the strength of these people: Lin Yanran was an Advanced War Master, as was Sha Hao, and the other three were Basic-level War Masters.

However, Lin Yanran was slightly stronger than Sha Hao, likely at the peak of an Advanced War Master, just a step away from being a Peak Martial Artist. Unfortunately, she seemed to lack combat experience, showing only average strength, barely able to hold off Sha Hao and the other three.

Ye Qingfeng shook his head internally; if it were Piao Xue or Little Yue, these three would definitely not be a match.

Ye Qingfeng watched with a detached calm, showing no intention of intervening.

"Lin Yanran, we’re all friends here, why oppose us? Look at what the person you’re helping is doing, he’s just watching the show!"

Sha Hao was forced back by Lin Yanran’s sword and immediately shouted.

Lin Yanran, of course, knew Ye Qingfeng was watching nearby, and she was very angry in her heart. Still, she just couldn’t watch Ye Qingfeng get killed by them.

"Pah, who said we’re friends? No matter what, I can’t watch you rob others of their elixirs and commit murder!" Lin Yanran said coldly.

Hmph, ungrateful!

Sha Hao’s eyes turned cold, and he raised his sword to stab at Lin Yanran again.

"Swish!"

Lin Yanran, ultimately still lacking combat experience, was held up by the other two, allowing Sha Hao to seize the opportunity to slash her arm with his sword.

Lin Yanran stepped back two paces, coming beside Ye Qingfeng and immediately noticed his composed demeanor, as if he were watching a play.

Lin Yanran was really infuriated; she was helping him, yet he was just watching like it was a show. In her heart, she genuinely didn’t care if he lived or died at that moment.

At this moment, another Azure Dragon Hall disciple stabbed again, but this time not at Lin Yanran, but at Ye Qingfeng.

Ye Qingfeng’s expression remained calm, showing no reaction, as if confident in his plan or simply scared into stupidity.

Might as well just let him die!

Lin Yanran was furious in her heart, but finally gritted her teeth and stepped forward, with a sound of "clang," two swords clashed, emitting a crisp metallic sound.

Lin Yanran stepped forward again to fight hard, not allowing the three to harm Ye Qingfeng; she didn’t actually know Ye Qingfeng, assuming he was a Pill Master with Piao Xue and Little Yue as his bodyguards.

A quarter of an hour passed, and Lin Yanran’s body had been slashed several times, leaving her covered in wounds, looking bloody and pitiable.

Such a beautiful and righteous woman coming to his rescue, now beaten to this state, even an ordinary person would probably be unable to bear it, and would step in to help.

Only someone like Ye Qingfeng could remain so, appearing untroubled as he watched the scarred Lin Yanran struggle on.

"Truly useless."

Ye Qingfeng shook his head helplessly; he really didn’t want to step in, having thought Lin Yanran could handle the three, but now it ended like this.

Lin Yanran was almost furious enough to spit blood; she was kindheartedly trying to save Ye Qingfeng, yet this guy called her useless.

If it weren’t for the imminent threat, Lin Yanran felt she would have been unable to resist stabbing Ye Qingfeng herself right then.

"Still not done? Hurry up!"

Over there, a middle-aged Azure Dragon Hall member shouted to expedite, enduring several cuts from Piao Xue and Little Yue, now just holding on by sheer force of will.

Furious inside, the middle-aged man, a proud Peak Martial Artist, was actually being pressed by two young women. He only hoped Sha Hao’s group quickly killed that young man, took the elixir, and retreated.

"Piao Xue, Little Yue, step aside!" Ye Qingfeng suddenly spoke up.

Without any hesitation, Piao Xue and Little Yue immediately leaped aside, landing on a nearby tree trunk, leaving the middle-aged man alone.

At that moment, Ye Qingfeng flicked his finger, and suddenly, a stream of black air shot toward the middle-aged man. The pitch-black night made it impossible to discern what this dark energy was.

"Petty tricks!"

The middle-aged man was not afraid at all; seeing these two women leap away, his eyes flashed, preparing to personally rush forward to kill this young man.

"Boom!"

At that moment, the middle-aged man’s body suddenly exploded, a surge of black air rising, enveloping him inside.

"Ah!"

The middle-aged man’s scream came from within the black air, sounding extremely haunting in the dark night.

Everyone was stunned. What kind of technique was this?

A moment later, the black air dissipated, and the middle-aged man’s body fell to the ground. When everyone looked again, they were shocked, eyes wide open.

This Azure Dragon Hall middle-aged man had turned into a dried-up corpse!

"Uncle Jian!" Sha Hao cried out in horror, utterly unable to believe it. Their Azure Dragon Hall elder had died just like that!

"You, you killed Uncle Jian. Our Azure Dragon Hall will not let you go!"

An Azure Dragon Hall disciple shouted angrily at Ye Qingfeng.

"Idiot."

Ye Qingfeng couldn’t be bothered with him, calmly saying, "Clean them all up."

As soon as Ye Qingfeng’s words fell, Piao Xue and Little Yue moved, their graceful figures leaping forth instantly. How could the Basic-level War Masters from Azure Dragon Hall resist? They were killed in front of Ye Qingfeng in no time.

Lin Yanran was dumbfounded. The turn of events was too rapid, she couldn’t react at all.

The key was Little Yue, whom she always saw as a simple and lovely girl. Who would have expected her to kill someone in an instant, with a cold and indifferent expression?

"Stop!" Lin Yanran immediately shouted, instead turning to block in front of Sha Hao, preventing Little Yue and the others from acting.

"Ye Qingfeng, he is from Azure Dragon Hall. If you kill him, Azure Dragon Hall won’t let you go."

Lin Yanran said urgently, unable to let Ye Qingfeng kill any more.

Ye Qingfeng was speechless; he knew Lin Yanran was naive, but he hadn’t realized she was naive to this extent.

He had already killed so many from Azure Dragon Hall, and they surely wouldn’t let him go. If he were just an ordinary person, the safest thing now would be to kill Sha Hao.
