Chapter 496: Forced to a Corner

Translator: chuchutrain Editor: Rock, DavidT

'Pu pu pu' came the countless sounds, followed by a loud explosion, as those who clashed abruptly separated! Ling Chen and Li Xue stumbled as they retreated, with Ling Chen bleeding from her left arm, shoulder, and chest, staining her originally pure white robes .

Li Xue had help Ling Chen to take the majority of the impact, absorbing practically all the force generated between their collision . The pure internal energy collision was not something that could be nullified easily, and while Li Xue had movement techniques that surpa.s.sed Ling Tian, she had no way to dodge in this scenario! While she had no external injuries, the impact her internal organs had suffered was not light . Her tiny mouth opened wide as a huge mouthful of fresh blood was vomited out . Her eyes immediately dimmed, and she had to forcefully will herself to prop up her body .

As for the three NanGongs, the two elders had already turned into pieces of icy slush the moment they were thrown back, filling up the entire sky . Under the frenzied brandis.h.i.+ng of Li Xue's sword in retaliation, the two of them suffered from the torture of a thousand cuts to the point that not even a complete skeleton remained! As for NanGong TianHu who had a higher cultivation, because he was ambus.h.i.+ng towards the rear of Ling Chen, he was spared the brunt of Li Xue's a.s.sault . However, he had eaten the majority of Ling Chen's palms, and as his corpse flew up high, the blood he spat froze into a piece of ice even as he slowly turned into a popsicle in midair!

”Pa!” NanGong TianHu viciously smashed on the ground, but instead of letting out the sound of a low grunt, a crisp shattering sound was heard, as though a porcelain vase had fallen off the roof… under the dumbfounded gazes of all present, NanGong TianHu's body shattered into a mult.i.tude of various sized frozen pieces, even the organs being preserved in a perfect state without a single drop of blood flowing out . . .

Of those surrounding the duo, NanGong Yu had put in the most effort . However, due to her skill being the weakest, she was repelled by the strong counterforce of Li Xue's internal energy even as she threw herself forward . She felt as though her entire body had broken apart, and she was totally unable to even pick herself up . Her hate-filled, venomous eyes finally revealed the look of despair one shows when their armies are routed . . .

Li Xue had just managed to stand upright when she let out a light cry . Though her voice made the cry sound sweet, the killing intent within was impossible to hide . She immediately threw herself into the crowd of a.s.sailants like a whirlwind, beginning her killing . The cry she let out, under the effects of her internal energy, traveled far and wide, and the moment the sound ended, a few tiny specks appeared on the horizon . Those specks were precisely Ling Lei and his group .

With Li Xue's cry awakening her from the stupor, Ling Chen, who had just undergone a baptism of life and death, was determined not to be outdone . She immediately threw herself into the fray as well . Sound after sound of agonized wails could be heard, as the remaining men from the NanGong Family were scared out of their wits by these two ladies, unable to even utilize half of their strength . Everyone only had the thought to run as far as they could, however, under the ghostly movements of these two ladies, who could even escape from them?

On one side, the morale was as high as rainbows, the other as low as a collapsed mountain . There was no way to rewrite history at this point, let alone the fact that there were still reinforcements of the winning side coming over!

Ling Chen retained her usual stance of only ensuring that they were immobilized, but Li Xue was acting strange now, only maiming instead of killing them up front . It was just that the people she injured were all in much worse states as compared to those handled by Ling Chen, with the lightest injury being amputated limbs, turning the people into cripples .

By the time Ling Lei and his group managed to arrive, there were less than ten people who were still standing, and under the tyrannical strength of the Ling group, the entire battlefield took on a completely one-sided victory, with all of the NanGong's people being taken prisoner in just a few moments . Of the 135 people activated in the NanGong Family for the operation this time around, 39 were killed on the spot, leaving 96 alive as prisoners, without even one person escaping!

Looking at Ling Chen's wounds as well as the dismal expression on Li Xue's face, Ling Lei clenched his teeth, furiously staring at the NanGong people who were being gathered into a heap . His eyes looked as though they could spew fire at this very instant!

”Sister Chen, how do we deal with these prisoners?” Ling Lei questioned .

Before Ling Chen could open her mouth, Li Xue's clear voice had already traveled over, ”We of course have to deal with them, and it has to be this little sister Ling Chen to personally deal with them, to be considered just! Such despicable people who are worse than beasts, furthermore attempting to shame and humiliate her, shouldn't she herself deal with them to make herself feel better?”

Ling Chen started, and a complex expression surfaced on her face as she carefully spoke, ”Why does elder sister say so? This group can be left for Ling Lei to deal with, why do I…”

Li Xue heartless refused her with a wave of her hand, resolutely snapping, ”Not this time! I require you to personally act!”
