Chapter 21 This master is still a mortal (2/2)
He had also expended six qi pillars at that single exchange and right now, he was left with three remaining qi pillars.
The devil cultivators were livid. Seeing one of theirs fall made them incense with anger.
One of the late(pinnacle)-sky root stage didn't even say anything and moved. He brandished his sword against Wang Ling and ignored the protector he was fighting. However, the protector didn't let him move any closer to Wang Ling and obstructed his path.
How could he let his young master fall into a disadvantage? Wang Ling's safety was top priority.
It was then that Wang Ling and the remaining early(middle)-sky root stage cultivator resumed their fight. Just like he had predicted, the pressure on him became stronger.
Wang Ling looked at the pale man and warily observed him through the corner of his eyes. At this moment, the pale man was being held back by the two energy palace stage cultivators so all was going well.

However, he still kept his guards up in case the pale man makes any move against him.
The suppression of the devil cultivator he was fighting was enough to root him in one place, unable to do anything but defend and dodge. If the pale man make his move personally, there was a high chance that Wang Ling will be captured.
A single minute remains and at this moment, Wang Ling's remaining qi pillar numbered at one. With his continuous usage of the Ocean's Lull, his mind was starting to feel a little strained.
Not only that but his body was also starting to become weaker and weaker, however he still held on. The devil cultivator he was up against was baffled at his resilience, not only that, but his skills with the sword made the devil cultivator speechless.
Twenty seconds remains, Wang Ling was beginning to have his face turn pale. If not for the fact that he had managed to kill the other early(middle)-sky root stage devil cultivator earlier, he would have long been subjugated.
Boom!
But it was at this time that Wang Ling heard a sudden explosion. He turned his head and saw a towering light of devilish qi. The pale man had managed to behead one of the energy palace stage cultivators.
Soon, another energy palace cultivator was killed. Wang Ling caught sight of these and black streaks started forming on his forehead.
The pale man moved towards his direction. The smile on the pale man's face was so wide that it was almost reaching his ears. It was a smile that can make the cries of children stop.
The pale man raised his sword and got ready to slash down on Wang Ling. He moved in and entered Wang Ling's five-meter territory in the blink of an eye. Wang Ling was in danger.
The protectors saw this sudden change of events and all of them did the same thing. They abandoned their battle so they can go and save Wang Ling. However, the pale man was too fast. They failed to catch up.
Wang Ling did his best and ignited his remaining supreme spirit qi and hellish qi to raise his sword's durability and sharpness.
He did not use any technique because he knew it was useless and just quickly positioned it.
He wanted to strike the sword coming for him but the oppression of a person with a higher cultivation was too strong and made him unable to do so.
The distance of their cultivation was too wide. The opposition was a half-step energy nascent soul cultivator and he was a mere early(middle)-earth root cultivator.
The answer of his desperate actions trying to strike his opponent's sword wasn't hard.
Ding!
Wang Ling's sword was overpowered and was easily split in two.
The pale man smiled even more maliciously as he roared in anger, ”Feel the pain our brothers suffered! You goddamn dog son of Wang Shu Qing!!!!!!”
However, the sword of the pale man didn't stop, it went on and started going down heavily on Wang Ling's left shoulder.
Spurt!
Blood spurted all over as Wang Ling's whole left arm was flung away. His arm was cut off his body, but he didn't scream nor did he react in way the pale man expected he would.
Instead, Wang Ling tightly grabbed his sword with his still intact right hand and continued the momentum of his earlier swing. His sword was cut too cleanly that the momentum was unaffected.
Wang Ling aimed for the neck. But the pale man noticed and shifted his body, but even so, he was too late to completely evade the sword that found its way towards his right eye.
Slash!
The pale man's right eye was destroyed.
Wang Ling was disappointed that he didn't managed to kill him but he smiled when he saw that he managed to take his right eye. His strength became non-existent and his whole being was sapped dry.
He was bleeding profusely as his left arm was cut off clean and he looked like he could die any second.
However, the pale man didn't care about this. He raged up as soon as he realized that his eye was taken away by Wang Ling.
”You bastard! You dare take my eye? I may not be able to kill you but I'll take your other limbs as compensation!!!!”
This time, he raised his sword and tried to take Wang Ling's remaining three limbs. However, when he made a slash a protector sacrificed himself to keep Wang Ling from being harmed.
Clang!
The sound of metal hitting metal resounded all over the area. What followed this sound was the sound of bones cracking as the protector's two wrists were broken as if it were twigs.
”Damn trash, don't interfe—”
The pale man wanted to say something but an oppressive force came crushing down from above. He lost the ability to move or eke out a sound.
”YOU BASTARDS!!! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO THE YOUNG MASTER!!!???? DO YOU THINK I CAN'T ERADCATE YOUR SECT?”
Boom!
Butler Sun descended from the heavens with spear on hand. He wore his usual pure white butler attire but his face held no friendly smile. His feet touched the ground beside Wang Ling and the people of the Demon Blood Cult had their faces kiss the earth.
The pale man turned to look at the seething Sun Wu and trembled in fear. They knew that the Wang family was a prominent but mysterious family but who knew that another monster was inside the kingdom?
Nascent Soul? Minor Saint? Grand Saint? The pale man's face became even paler from fright. Sun Wu kneeled beside Wang Ling and fed him a pill which he took from his storage ring.
The bleeding then stopped. He then checked his pulse. Other than the strange presence of pure supreme spirit qi and hellish qi which made him furrow his brows, Wang Ling was in no immediate danger.
He turned to the two dead energy palace stage protector and then into the protector who had his wrists broken trying to shield Wang Ling.
”Take this. I'll handle the rest. As for the rest of you take the young master and the corpses of the fallen protectors back to the manor and call upon the rest of the 'Shadows'. Tend to the young master's wounds. I'll take care of the rest.”
The protectors complied and soon left with Wang Ling and the two corpses.
Butler Sun looked at the trembling Demon Blood Cult members and said.
”Now! Do you want to die horrendously through my torture or do you want to die horrendously by having your flesh eaten by Devil Ants? Decide quickly so I can pick the ways I will use to deal with your souls.”
The Butler of the Wang family has been enraged.
