Chapter 49 : The Most Vicious Dao Instruction 1 (2/2)
The female disciple finally bit her teeth, and, with a voice like a silver bell, she quietly said:
“I, I feel that, older brother, e-each strike, all, were hitting me. Our techniques have openings, ol-older brother want-wanted to test our merit laws, our flaws.”
Having said that, the big-eyed timid looking female disciple looked at Li Qi Ye without confidence, and she then immediately tucked her head down; she really was afraid of Li Qi Ye.
At this point, she thought Li Qi Ye was going to act violently; however, Li Qi Ye slowly and casually asked her:
“What is your name?”
“Xu, Xu Pei.”
This female disciple’s scalp was tingling from being stared at by Li Qi Ye. She was older than Li Qi Ye, but the moment Li Qi Ye stared at her, she felt like she was being targeted by a Prehistoric Desolate fierce beast.
“Xu Pei, younger sister Xu.”
Li Qi Ye cheerfully smiled:
“I will tell you a good piece of news; very lucky, you have guessed correctly.”
Li Qi Ye’s words got out. Many disciples were stumped for words, and Xu Pei’s heart couldn’t help but became ecstatic; finally, she had escaped a calamity.
“From now on, you are the oldest sister; the three hundred disciples of the Cleansing Jade Peak will be led by you.”
Li Qi Ye slowly spoke:
“However, it is your turn to make a move right now.”
Li Qi Ye suddenly appointed this position, causing the other disciples to startled. Xu Pei was also startled; she was startled, not because of the appointment, but, because of the sentence said afterwards by Li Qi Ye.
“Old-older brother, I, I had guessed correctly to your, your question. I, I won’t be exempted from the beating?”
Li Qi Ye beamingly and cheerfully smiled:
“It is true that you have guessed correctly. However, I didn’t say I was going to let you go. My way of living is very fair; I always treat others equally.”
Right now, facing Li Qi Ye’s cheerful smile, Xu Pei felt that it was scarier compared to an old wolf.
In the end, Xu Pei didn’t have any other choice; she had to gather the courage to resist. At the point when she was about to make a move, she couldn’t help but timidly say:
“O-olde-older brother, not, not the face, is that okay…?”
Wishing to appear beautiful was the nature of all women; even a cultivator was like this. Li Qi Ye’s Serpent Punishing stick’s strike, even though it didn’t leave wounds, but being beaten till one’s face and nose were swollen, this – to any young girl – was a torturous affair.
“I can think about it.”
Li Qi Ye happily smiled, but his Serpent Punishing stick had already aimed for her face.
Xu Pei became frightened. She immediately moved her feet into a defensive gate, barely dodging the stick from hitting her face, but the Serpent Punishing stick was like maggots in the bones; she had just escaped but another strike was on the way.
Xu Pei was alarmed. Once again, she used the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect’s stepping techniques to dodge, but Li Qi Ye was still chasing her – it was hard to escape.
“If you keep on running away, do you trust that I will beat your face into a pig’s head or not?”
The voice of Li Qi Ye, like an evil ghost, rang.
These words astonishingly frightened Xu Pei. No longer dared to run, she immediately turned around to fight. She let out a roar with her long sword in her hand put into motion, and she crossed horizontally towards Li Qi Ye.
“Bang!”
One sound, one stick from Li Qi Ye, without mercy, ruthlessly struck the sweet fragrant shoulder of Xu Pei; the pain caused her tears to flow; it was as if her sweet smelling shoulder was about to break into pieces.
“This power of ‘One Sword Sweep the Earth’ is one part too weak. It can’t even withstand a single blow. One Sword Sweeps the Earth; the move is just like its name, sweep through everything!”
Li Qi Ye violently struck Xu Pei’s sweet shoulder until she cried; however, Li Qi Ye was still cheerfully smiling, and he said:
“Again.”
Li Qi Ye ignored Xu Pei’s pitiful state; his cheerful smile was extremely ruthless, and he said:
“A fight to the death, it is not just being scrupulous as the earth, but it is also as courageous as the heaven. When meeting your enemy face-to-face in a narrow path, the braver one will win! Your heart is bright like a mirror, able to see clearly the downy feathers in the autumns; however, you are lacking the will to fight a bloody battle to the end – lacking the courage and enlightenment to fight a battle to the death!”
Li Qi Ye was giving pointers to Xu Pei; not only in her lacking techniques, but also her mentality in battle!
Xu Pei could only reluctantly withstand the pain and let out a lovable roar; her sword created a net like the sea, and she returned a blow towards Li Qi Ye.
“Bang…”
Li Qi Ye, once again, struck her waist and indifferently said:
“This one ‘Sword like the Grand Water’ lacks a majestic boundlessness; this move is dependent on the word ‘Grand! ‘Grand Righteous Energy!”[3]
“Bang…”
Li Qi Ye, once again, obliterated Xu Pei’s openings; with each move and each technique, he taught Xu Pei:
“This ‘Southern Swallow Returns to its Nest’ was practiced very well, but you shouldn’t be complacent; it is still lacking maturity. A weakness can momentarily be exposed.”
Li Qi Ye enjoyed reading merit laws and techniques that were practiced by the Cleansing Jade Peak’s disciples. In reality, the three hundred disciple’s practicing methods and techniques were limited, and the majority of these methods were left behind by Li Qi Ye for the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect that year. There were even some that Li Qi Ye had created just for Immortal Emperor Min Ren.

[3] “Sword like the Grand Water” is “Jian Hao Ru Hai”, “Grand Righteous Energy is “Hao Ran Zheng Qi”. Li Qi Ye is stressing on the profound truth of the technique which is the word “Hao”. Also “Hao Ran Zheng Qi” is very common in xian xia, usually used by kings or good natured people
