Chapter 164: Fighting to the Gate (2/2)
Despite seeing Liu Ruyue being so stubborn, Zhao Gongming was not angry. In fact, he was happy. He said, “Senior Sister Liu, please don’t change the topic. It is a fact that eight Biyun Peak disciples died.
“Furthermore, Junior Brother Song personally saw them being killed by Ye Chen. Whether or not he was truly responsible, that will be decided by the Law Enforcement Hall.”
Liu Ruyue removed her golden ident.i.ty token and held it up. She said in a grave voice, “Look carefully at the ident.i.ty token in my hand. I am the Peak Master of Qingyun Peak, not your Senior Sister. Whether your Biyun Peak’s disciples died or not, even if the Law Enforcement Hall’s people came, they cannot capture my people without evidence.”
Zhao Gongming laughed coldly, “Qingyun Peak only has one disciple, and you still have the cheek to use your status to pressure me?”
Liu Ruyue smiled. She looked extremely beautiful, causing everyone who looked at her to be dazzled. “Even if there is only one person in Qingyun Peak, Qingyun Peak is not something that a piece of trash like you can mock.”
Immediately after she spoke, Liu Ruyue flew forward, leaving behind an afterimage. She instantly appeared before Zhao Gongming. Zhao Gongming did not panic. Instead, he felt joy.
Even if there were no evidence, as long as Liu Ruyue made the first move and injured someone, it would justify their current actions.
However, he was soon placed in a state where he could no longer smile. There was a resplendent light as the Lunar Shadow Saber was drawn with a ‘huang dang’ sound. The aura of the Rank 6 Demonic Core, equivalent to a peak Martial King, engulfed him.
With his strength as a Medial Grade Martial Saint, his breathing became rapid and shallow before the surging aura. His originally smooth movements became jerky.
Zhao Gongming gave up on drawing his saber as he quickly forced his body to retreat rapidly. However, this saber strike was too fast. Furthermore, this move had utilized the might of the Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon. The saber created a long wound down the front of Zhao Gongming.
His wound was not deep, but blood spurted out, dyeing the front of his s.h.i.+rt red. Once the fight started, the remaining seven Martial Saints recovered their wits and quickly attacked Liu Ruyue.
This was a fight between Martial Saint; Martial Grand Masters were not able to interfere. Saber Qi flew everywhere; figures flashed around. Xiao Chen and the rest were only able to see a few blurry figures.
The area of the fight grew larger. Occasionally, there would be loud shouting. A Biyun Peak Inferior Grade Martial Saint screamed miserably as his arm was torn off.
Everyone was truly angered, Liu Ruyue was merciless with her attacks. She risked her life to take theirs. When they left a wound on her, she would immediately retaliate with ten. She only pressed forward, never retreating.
Borrowing the might of the Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon, Liu Ruyue did not suffer any disadvantages. Instead, the eight Martial Saints of Biyun Peak were getting more fl.u.s.tered the longer they fought. Occasionally, someone’s arm would be chopped off, or someone would lose a large chunk of flesh.
There were a few streams of saber Qi that indiscriminately flew at Xiao Chen and Liu Suifeng. Xiao Chen used his palm as a saber and executed Drawing the Saber. There was a loud sound and the saber Qi disappeared into nothingness.
Liu Suifeng said anxiously, “Ye Chen, what should we do? Even if Sis were victorious, she would be severely injured. The other side still has ten Martial Grand Masters who have not made a move yet. We are no match for them.”
“Don’t rush me. I’m trying to think.” Naturally, Xiao Chen was thinking about the same problem that Liu Suifeng mentioned. He cast his gaze on Song Qianhe, who was in the middle of the crowd, as he thought as fast as he could.
Song Qianhe was looking coldly at Liu Ruyue. He was not bothered by the casualties of the fight. Aside from Zhao Gongming, the other Inferior Grade Martial Saints had already been stuck at their cultivation realm for many years.
His purpose in sending them was actually to send them to die. The true elites of Biyun Peak had not come. Even if they all died, he would not feel the pinch.
Biyun Peak could afford the loss; unlike Qingyun Peak, which only had Liu Ruyue. Once she fell, the others would be easy to handle.
“Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon? It looks like this operation will fail. Should I make a move?” Song Que watched the fight below from within the clouds. He frowned slightly and could not make up his mind.
Down below, Liu Ruyue took advantage of a gap in the defense of one of the Inferior Grade Martial Saint. She used the Lunar Shadow Saber to directly pierce that person's heart. Her right hand trembled as a surging Essence traveled via her arm into the saber.
“Boom!”
There was a loud explosion, and the person’s body was blasted to bits. Blood spurted toward the sky, then fell slowly like rain.
Liu Ruyue's decisiveness and cold-bloodedness made all the surrounding cultivators tremble. Although they were not afraid of death, when they saw such a horrible way of dying, they could not help but feel a deep fear.
She is too ruthless; she does not have the slightest consideration, killing on her own whim. Is she really unafraid of the rules of Heavenly Saber Pavilion? Everyone could not help but wonder.
Taking advantage of the moment everyone was distracted, Liu Ruyue did not stop, and she swept the saber across, chopping an Inferior Grade Martial Saint in half.
“You! Liu Ruyue! Don’t go overboard!” Zhao Gongming shouted as two Inferior Grade Martial Saint instantly died miserably at Liu Ruyue’s hands.
Liu Ruyue replied by becoming more ferocious in her attacks. She grasped the saber with both hands, her entire body was covered in blood. She looked like a mad demon — like an evil spirit that came out from the depths of h.e.l.l — completely ignoring all her wounds.
“Ka Ca! Ka Ca!”
