271 Slaying Evil (1/2)
There was no room for error in a fight among the highly-skilled!
With just a simple oversight, Venerable Clear Wind was disarmed of his long sword as a black flash shot through his chest.
”Pu!”
His physical body crumbled as though the essence of his body was being sucked out. Instantly, he had become a dried corpse which fell to the ground and shattered.
”Ah... You're too extreme!”
A black fog rose from the head of the corpse as a Yin Spirit appeared.
This was the spirit of Venerable Clear Wind. If it were to escape, it could find other suitable bodies and live on, or it could reincarnate into a new body. The possibilities were endless.
As it glanced fiercely at Fang Yuan, the Yin Spirit waved its hands in an attempt to enter the sword and escape.
”Don't think about running!”
Li Luan walked up and stretched her hands out. Immediately, a big red net appeared which contained the spiritual sword within.
Considering her abilities and cultivation, it was theoretically impossible for her to contain the spiritual sword. However, the sword was previously damaged by the thunder and lighting which she had summoned and had yet to be combined with Venerable Clear Wind's spirit. With the advantage, she made full use of it. Although the sword was trying its best to penetrate its way through, but to no avail.
”This is your fate!”
A huge hand made out of black fog appeared above Fang Yuan's head, which quickly struck towards the spirit of Venerable Clear Wind.
The spirit of Venerable Clear Wind was attempting to resist but as the black fog hand thickened, it became dizzy and restrained.
”Master...”
Only now did Venerable Clear Wind's disciples became aware of the entire situation. With a look of shock on their faces, a few of them attempted to rescue their master but the rest were at loss and were thinking about how to escape.
”You cannot kill me... I am the disciple of Xuan Zhen Sect, an authentic sect in the world! If you kill me, you will be in trouble!”
Venerable Clear Wind's spirit was struggling. ”It was my fault that I had attacked you. Isn't it enough that you have destroyed my physical body?”
”... You are aiding the district leader and therefore are a good demon. If you don't mind, we can join forces and no one in Black Lake District can be our match!”
This person had a glib tongue. As he spoke, even Li Luan couldn't help but started to think about his offer.
After all, he made sense.
Regardless if he was from a sect, or in terms of karma or even just laying out the pros and cons, it was not worth it to kill this person.
”Die!”
Fang Yuan's eyes glittered as his black hand crushed the spirit.
With a shriek, the spirit disintegrated. This was the real destruction of the spirit that was irreversible.
”Ah... Master?”
A few Daoists were in shock. ”How dare you kill master?”
”Who cares about what he was trying to say! The fact was that he had attempted to kill me and even guarded against me. How can I be fooled by him?”
Fang Yuan snickered.
Although Venerable Clear Wind's offer seemed like a win-win, it might bring trouble for Fang Yuan.
The most important thing was that Venerable Clear Wind had a backing and could always call for help. On the other hand, Fang Yuan was alone. Therefore, he had fewer rights to speak up for himself and this would only spell trouble.
This was why he had to destroy him completely!
”Pu! Pu!”
After a few black flashes, every Daoist in the vicinity held their chests and fell to the ground as blood seeped out of their wounds.
”Brother... why are you so extreme?”
Seeing this, Li Luan gave a look of discomfort.
”This is not my choice. The moment that sword tried to harm us, there was no turning back...”
Fang Yuan revealed his Yin Spirit and looked depressed.
Looking at his own fate energy, Fang Yuan chuckled. He could see the little flames around him as usual. In fact, he had restored his people Dao karma.
Instead of being reduced, it had increased!
'Humans will rise and the demons will fall. After killing this person, I would be against the trend of this realm. How could this not be detected? This would only mean one thing. The heavens are confusing me! Although my karma seems normal, they are preparing for an extreme tribulation for me! If I do not be on my guard at all times, I would get myself into trouble!'
The Energy Viewing Technique and the likes of it seemed to have originated from his realm. Therefore, this realm could manipulate such energy-viewing related techniques and make it seem normal!
Although people might see that he was full of auspicious energy, his enemies would see him as extremely troubled and would strike after seeing it!
”Since I've killed him, I might as well kill the rest!”
Indeed, Li Luan felt nothing about killing the other Daoist
After all, she was not human to begin with. Seeing the death of the many daoist was akin to the death of ants. After a sigh, she quickly got over it.
”This person belongs to a sect. Therefore, it is a good idea to wipe all of them out completely to no one would be able to report what had happened here!”
There were thinking about how to clear the mess that they had made.
After an intensive clearing session in the temple, they managed to find some loots.
”Keke... These daoist are rich indeed!”
In the small courtyard, they could already find a few treasures.
There was gold, silver, pearls and their total worth seemed to be a few thousand taels. All of these were the contributions from the district people.
Other than these, they also had countless bottles. These were the spiritual pills made personally by Venerable Clear Wind, of which Li Luan had looted quite a number of them.
It was a fact that in terms of alchemy and casting arrays, the demons were less-developed in these areas compared to humans. They were even more incomparable in other tedious processes.
”Keke...”
Seeing this, Fang Yuan smiled. ”You can have the spiritual pills if you want. Just leave me the herbs!”
