Chapter 378: Chapter 378 You Come to Kill [First Update]

Zhang Ye’s complexion turned slightly pale. His precious sword, refined with his own essence blood and life as the core, had now broken, causing certain damage to his body as well.

He had believed that although Li Xiaoyao could kill Lin Beize with a single sword strike, his cultivation level was only about the same as Lin Beize’s, and what he relied on was nothing more than the sword in his hand.

But now, it seemed that this was not the case.

“Wow~” A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, and before he could suppress the chaotic qi within his body, Li Xiaoyao’s cold face was already close at hand, his palm striking down.

“This old man is an Eighth Rank cultivator of the Abstinence Realm, and you dare to fight with your flesh against this old man?” Roaring angrily, Zhang Ye hurriedly raised his right palm, aiming to meet Li Xiaoyao’s hand.

“Bang!”

As the two palms collided, the onlookers were horrified to see that Zhang Ye’s body, like a withered leaf in the wind, drew an arc in the air and smashed to the ground, spewing blood wildly.

“Pfft~”

Zhang Ye clutched his chest but could not stop the fresh blood that continued to spurt out uncontrollably.

If Li Xiaoyao had taken the upper hand in the previous exchange because of the Seven Star Ancient Sword, this time, their flesh made contact, and it was purely Li Xiaoyao’s own strength that prevailed.

The crowd was dumbstruck; being able to strike an Eighth Rank Abstinence Realm cultivator like Zhang Ye into serious injury with one palm—what level of cultivation was this?

It was probably at least a Ninth Rank cultivator of the Abstinence Realm, right? Otherwise, it would be impossible to take such a dominant upper hand.

A cultivator of the Abstinence Realm’s Ninth Rank in his twenties—if this were to spread, it would surely cause an uproar in the cultivator’s circle.

Li Xiaoyao walked slowly to Zhang Ye, who now exhibited none of his earlier calmness and poise, his face a mix of fear and terror.

“Don’t… don’t kill me…” Zhang Ye instinctively put a hand in front of his face, his voice filled with dread.

“Boy, do you dare to kill a Great Elder of the Seven Swords Sect?” A middle-aged man suddenly leaped out and shouted.

“Whoosh!”

The Seven Star Ancient Sword instantly penetrated the man’s chest. His eyes bulged in disbelief, his life quickly fading. His cold body fell to the ground with a “bang” that made everyone swallow hard.

The Seven Star Ancient Sword floated beside Li Xiaoyao, with blood dripping from its tip onto the ground, drop by drop.

Li Xiaoyao’s cold eyes swept slowly around the room and he asked, “Anyone else?”

Three simple, emotionless words echoed like thunder, intimidating everyone present.

Turning away from the crowd back to Zhang Ye, who still wanted to plead for mercy, Li Xiaoyao didn’t give him the chance. The Seven Star Ancient Sword transformed into a streak of cold light, instantly entering his chest.

If Li Xiaoyao’s earlier killing of Lin Beize had only surprised the people, then his thunderous move to kill Zhang Ye with a single sword strike now filled them with terror.

A strong person isn’t to be feared, but a young person with such terrifying strength is.

No one was going to step forward at this moment, nor was anyone daring enough to covet Li Xiaoyao’s storage ring anymore.

If Li Xiaoyao could reach such a realm at the age of 28, what would the scene be like after five years, ten years, or twenty years?

No one dared to speculate, but they knew that they couldn’t afford to provoke the current Li Xiaoyao.

In such a situation, choosing silence was the wisest course of action.

After taking Zhang Ye’s storage ring, Li Xiaoyao turned and walked over to Lin Yuanyuan, who looked utterly shocked. He smiled slightly and said, “Do you remember what I told you in the Ghost Market?”

“If you are unwilling, nobody can force you.” Now, as Lin Xiu and the others once again spoke these words, there was no longer any trace of disdain.

“As for the others, how you wish to deal with them is up to you.”

Lin Yuanyuan felt somewhat bewildered; she had thought that Li Xiaoyao would take care of everything for her. So when Li Xiaoyao suddenly gave her this option, she was a bit flustered and at a loss for what to do.

Ever since Li Xiaoyao had killed Lin Beize, the Lin Family had been living in constant fear and dread, worried that they would end up like the Family Head.

Seeing Li Xiaoyao entrust the decision to Lin Yuanyuan, Lin Shiyun who had a decent relationship with Yuanyuan cried out, “Yuanyuan, save us!”

When Lin Yuanyuan looked over, she saw those so-called relatives who usually spoke to her condescendingly now looking at her with pleading eyes and tones.

For some reason, Lin Yuanyuan felt a sudden surge of anger.

If it weren’t for Li Xiaoyao’s timely arrival today, she might have been forcefully taken to the bridal chamber, and aside from her parents, no one would have stood up to plead for her.

Lin Yuanyuan glared at Lin Langtian, who was lying paralyzed on the ground, and seethed with resentment, “Kill him!”

Li Xiaoyao was not surprised by her decision; he had kept Lin Langtian alive until now for a reason.

“You do it,” Li Xiaoyao said as he handed the Seven Star Ancient Sword to her. The heavy Ancient Sword was so weighty that Lin Yuanyuan struggled to lift it.

“Me?” Lin Yuanyuan shook her head, wanting to refuse. Li Xiaoyao said, “This is your chance, an opportunity for transformation.”

Lin Yuanyuan looked down at the Ancient Sword in her hands, still very hesitant.

She had never killed anyone nor had she ever imagined that one day she would. While watching Li Xiaoyao kill four people was shocking, actually killing someone herself was a completely different concept.

“Think about it — if I hadn’t come today, how would he have treated you? And if you had refused to marry today, how would he have treated your parents?”

Li Xiaoyao’s words echoed in her ears like a heavy hammer rhythmically striking her heart, igniting the fury inside her.

Lin Yuanyuan gripped the sword hilt tightly, her gaze firm as she took step after step towards Lin Langtian.

Lin Langtian, his face drained of color, yelled, “Lin Yuanyuan, I am your man, how dare you lay a hand on me?”

She might have been better off not listening, but his words only caused the rage in Lin Yuanyuan’s heart to surge up fiercely.

Li Xiaoyao had intended to shut him up, but seeing Lin Yuanyuan’s intense reaction, he let him be.

“You slut,” he cursed, “I regret not having taken you earlier, to see you beneath me…”

“Ah!” Lin Yuanyuan raised the Ancient Sword high and thrust it into Lin Langtian’s mouth, silencing his words abruptly.

Lin Langtian’s eyes widened in horror. He had believed Lin Yuanyuan wouldn’t dare to act, not realizing that his words had already triggered her intent to kill.

“Huff~ Huff~”

Gazing at Lin Langtian, with eyes bulging and an expression of terror, Lin Yuanyuan was breathing heavily, her body trembling slightly. After a few seconds, she suddenly bent over and vomited.

A hint of satisfaction flickered in Li Xiaoyao’s eyes. He approached and said, “It’s normal to react like this the first time you kill someone, but you’ll get used to it eventually.”

“This is the first person I’ve killed, and it will be the last,” Lin Yuanyuan replied, though she didn’t understand what Li Xiaoyao meant by that, shaking her head.

With a slight smile, Li Xiaoyao did not argue but asked, “What do you want to do with these people from the Lin Family?”

Wiping the filth from the corner of her mouth, Lin Yuanyuan looked back and, in the end, couldn’t bring herself to be ruthless. “Let them go,” she said.
