Chapter 58: Meeting Lou Yunxiao Again
Their voices were wrapped in spiritual energy, allowing all the surrounding villagers to hear.
The villagers looked at Ning Ke in astonishment.
The rumored Yao Venerable had an eccentric temperament and was boundlessly cruel. A few years ago, he had wiped out the Liuyun Sect and murdered countless humans.
And just now, they had also seen Ning Ke’s decisiveness when killing the bear yao, as well as his ruthlessness when setting fire to burn their families to death.
For a moment, many people began to doubt Ning Ke’s previous words and his motive for saving them.
If Ning Ke was a Human Race Immortal Master, then they would believe his actions.
But Ning Ke just happened to be that cruel Yao Venerable!
Hong Yao summoned her Lifebound Magical Artifact, held it in her arms, and shouted angrily at Ning Ke, “Wasn’t wiping out the Liuyun Sect enough for you back then, that you now come to persecute these innocent villagers?!”
“Since you are here today, leave your life behind!”
Gao Ze stopped her, saying, “We haven’t investigated the sequence of events yet. Let’s ask him first.”
Wei Qinghai stood beside him, his face also gloomy, “What is there to ask? Regardless of today’s matter, the fact that he murdered so many people of the Liuyun Sect is an undeniable truth!”
Abbot Wu Jue held his staff and said, “An evil creature is an evil creature after all, unable to understand human nature. Slaying him early is also carrying out the will of heaven!”
“Bullshit!! Everything you say is bullshit!” The little wolf rolled over, lying on his stomach, and couldn’t help saying, “Those people were killed by the demonized bear yao! Lord Yao Venerable did not kill anyone!”
However, Ning Ke patted his head and shook his head at him.
He turned around, facing the four Sect Masters at the Tribulation Crossing Stage, flew up into the air, and aligned his line of sight with theirs.
Closing his fan and tapping it against his palm, he revealed a cynical smile.
He said.
“That’s right, I killed all those people in the Liuyun Sect.”
“If you want to kill me, I don’t object.”
“However…”
Speaking up to here, the smile in his eyes completely faded, replaced by mockery.
“That depends on whether you have the lives to take it.”
After saying that, a terrifying pressure rushed toward the four Sect Masters without reservation!
The four Sect Masters’ expressions changed, and they hurriedly responded.
Above the Tribulation Crossing Stage, every minor stage has a massive gap.
Ning Ke was currently at the late Tribulation Crossing Stage, while the four Sect Masters were at the early stage.
Even though Ning Ke had lost a tail, no one could suppress his aura, at least on the surface.
“Mere Human Race brats, your combined ages aren’t even as much as mine.” Ning Ke sneered, “Putting on airs in front of me?”
As he said this, he suddenly looked into the distance.
The four Sect Masters also seemed to sense something and turned to look.
A sword light sped over.
Gao Ze saw clearly that the person on the sword was Lou Yunxiao and hurriedly shouted, “Yunxiao, don’t come over!”
Ning Ke’s pressure was directed right at them. If Lou Yunxiao came over, he would definitely be caught in the crossfire!
These disciples of the four major sects had just come out of the secret realm a few days ago and were rushing back. On the way, they suddenly noticed a soaring yao aura from Ning Family Village.
That was why their four Sect Masters managed to arrive so quickly.
But they clearly told the disciples to stay put; why did this usually obedient Lou Yunxiao run over on his own?
Naturally, Ning Ke also saw Lou Yunxiao.
Almost subconsciously, he withdrew the pressure that was capable of crushing ordinary cultivators.
The four Sect Masters immediately let out a sigh of relief.
Gao Ze held his sword to intercept Lou Yunxiao: “Yunxiao, stop!”
However, Lou Yunxiao didn’t show the slightest intention of stopping.
The Cangyin Sword, wrapped in peerless sword intent, slashed straight down at Ning Ke!
This was Lou Yunxiao’s full-power strike. The terrifying sword intent even made the space in front of Ning Ke vaguely fluctuate.
The young man’s face was extremely cold, his dark red eyes glaring at Ning Ke.
Soaked in deep, unresolvable hatred!
That was the venomous desire to skin him alive and pull out his tendons!
This was the first time since the time regression that Ning Ke had clearly seen Lou Yunxiao’s hatred for him.
Yet… it was seen through the eyes he had given him.
The pain in his heart suddenly intensified.
Ning Ke gritted his teeth.
But he didn’t reveal a single fraction of it on his face.
Instead, he curled his lips in a mocking smile.
The fan facing outward, he waved it lightly.
Boom—
“Yunxiao!”
“Lou boy!”
“Senior Brother!”
They watched as this light strike directly shattered Lou Yunxiao’s full-power sword strike, sending his entire body flying backward to smash heavily onto the ground!
The ground cracked, “Cough,” Lou Yunxiao coughed up half a mouthful of blood from the impact.
And in the next moment, a pair of black boots appeared in front of him.
That yao demon who had continuously appeared in his nightmares over the past three years, torturing him.
Just like in the dreams, looking down at him from above.
Sneered.
And said to him.
“Trash.”
Translator’s Note:
- Sword Intent (剑意): In cultivation novels, this is the profound understanding and mastery of the sword. It’s an invisible but deadly aura that a skilled sword cultivator projects. Lou Yunxiao’s sword intent is filled with his absolute hatred for Ning Ke.
- Lifebound Magical Artifact (本命法器): A weapon or artifact bound to a cultivator’s soul. It grows stronger with them but damaging it can seriously injure the cultivator’s soul.
