After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

He would even blame these disciples for being so weak and unable to protect him from much damage!
When Gu Zhu saw Lin Yan approaching with a sword, he stared at her with eyes that seemed to be poisoned.

Seeing that she was not holding the fifth-grade sword from the previous battle, but a spirit sword exuding heavenly quality, his resentment intensified!

That damned bastard! She must have gotten a chance after leaving the sect, otherwise how could she have gotten such a good sword!
As a direct disciple of the Xuantian Sect, he only uses a seventh-grade sword. Why should that lowly person use such a good sword?
Lin Yan didn't waste any more words with this person! He still had the ability to fight back, and it was safest to talk nonsense when he had beaten the person into a state where they couldn't fight back.

He killed his own fellow disciple to use as a shield; it's unbelievable that he even thought of such a thing. Well, such a person is both stupid and wicked; it's not surprising that he would do something like this!

Speaking of which, it was Gu Zhu's first time entering her own illusion array. Not knowing the rules here, she suddenly felt a bit playful.

She snapped her fingers, and countless low-level demonic beasts surged out from behind her.

She smiled and said, "Didn't you and those others throw me into the Black Cliff? There were so many low-level demonic beasts down there. I was too weak back then, and I was terrified of them. You should experience that for me too."

Seeing the dense swarm of demonic beasts, Gu Zhu was filled with fear and completely lost her composure...

"You bitch, even if I die and become a vengeful ghost, I will never let you go!"

"Looks like you haven't figured things out yet! This is my territory. Do you think I'd give you the chance to turn into a vengeful ghost? But I can give you a chance to escape!"

As Lin Yan spoke, she waved her hand, and the barrier encircling him disappeared. Gu Zhu obviously realized that he could escape the strange cycle.

He reacted immediately, dropping the corpses and running away! These corpses, riddled with holes from being used as shields against arrows, were ruthlessly abandoned.

Gu Zhu ran while looking back, and when he saw the dense swarm of demonic beasts chasing behind him, his scalp tingled. He didn't dare to look back and continued running forward.

Lin Yan wasn't in a hurry. She calmly tossed the corpse into her spatial storage before abandoning her playful mood. She made a complex hand gesture, and a golden array immediately appeared above her.

The formation reversed, and she stood still, waiting for Gu Zhu to run towards her from another opening.

How can this not be considered another form of walking into a trap?

Gu Zhu was terrified to see people standing right in front of him. He wanted to turn around and run away, but it was a huge group of demonic beasts.

He had no time to think, for she was already in front of him in an instant, her spirit sword thrusting with a destructive force.

His abdomen was stabbed through, and blood gushed out.

That wasn't all; his knee was broken, and he couldn't stand up, collapsing to the ground.

The monsters that had been chasing him stopped and did not continue their advance!
He didn't know how this bastard controlled the demon beasts, but that didn't matter, because he felt that the other party really had no intention of leaving any survivors!
"You...you dare...kill me!"

He was Venerable Lingyun's personal disciple. If he dies, the sect will definitely investigate; it won't just be left unresolved! How dare that bitch!

"What if I kill you?" Lin Yan sneered. "Not only will I kill you, I'll also feed your bones to the demon beasts. Happy now? Your death will at least have some value."

"You!" Gu Zhu vomited blood again in anger!

He wasn't in a hurry to kill him, so he used his spiritual energy to keep the other person alive. He wanted him to feel the pain of blood slowly flowing out and leg bones shattering, and to feel the fear of death approaching.

See? This person was so vicious before, but when faced with death, he showed a fearful expression.

Now, if I gave him even a sliver of hope to live, wouldn't he grovel like a dog? As if conjuring up some twisted amusement, she said to the man paralyzed on the ground, unable to move, "How about you beg me, and I'll let you die a little easier? Or how about you curse yourself, and if I feel like it, I'll give you a way out?"

To give him the strength to curse, she increased the amount of spiritual energy she channeled into him, allowing him to catch his breath several times.

Gu Zhu seemed to have grasped some hope. She used to be high and mighty, but now she could easily attack him with vicious words.

“I am a scumbag, a bedbug, a lowly maggot… I am worse than a pig or a dog, heartless and cruel…”

"I'm a shameless bastard, a despicable scoundrel, even animals are more noble than me. I'm selfish, greedy, cowardly, and morally corrupt!"

"..."

As he cursed, he felt his condition improving. Ignoring the pain of his broken leg, he kowtowed to her in repentance, saying that he had been a worthless person and begged her to forgive his sins and spare his life. He promised that he would do his best to make amends after he got out of prison!
Gu Zhu's eyes were filled with fear and a desire to survive. Her disheveled and humble appearance was a stark contrast to her previous state!

Didn't I once beg them to leave me alone in such a humble manner? But did it work? No! I still suffered just as much bullying as I deserved.

She had heard enough, withdrew her spiritual power, and chopped off his head with a single sword strike.

Not intending to let him go and giving him hope is indeed despicable! But so what? She was just repaying him in his own way.

The bullying she suffered at Wenxin Peak was far worse than this. She just didn't die; she survived and became who she is today!

Looking at the dead, she didn't feel much pleasure. The inner demon in her mind sensed her intense negative emotions, absorbed them to its heart's content, and feeling powerful enough, began to bewitch her.

"Does revenge feel good? Go and ruin yourself, kill all those who have wronged you. I will give you strength..."

"Succumb! What a wonderful feeling... If you can't bring yourself to do it, you can give me your body and let me avenge you..."

"..."

It's so noisy. Instead of helping her cultivate properly, why is it causing all this trouble? Has she given the inner demon too much freedom lately, making it think it's all that great?

Lin Yan conjured a bamboo stick in her mind and whipped her inner demon: "What? You think you can do whatever you want just because I gave you a little taste?"

The inner demon is numb! This is completely different from what it imagined!
The inner demon, having been punished, became obedient and resigned itself to cultivating in its sea of ​​consciousness.

Lin Yan threw Gu Zhu's corpse into her spatial dimension as nourishment, cast a cleansing spell, and changed into a new robe and veil before emerging from the illusion array.

She put away the array plate, carefully scanned the surroundings, and left only after making sure no traces were left behind.

Gu Zhu was a direct disciple and left behind a soul lamp in the sect. When he died, the lamp went out, and the Xuantian Sect would definitely investigate.

If the trail doesn't lead back to her, that's one less troublesome thing to do. Even if it does lead back, she'll have a legitimate reason; with her master around, would that old geezer Ling Yun openly kill her?
She returned to the villa, played with the three little ones for a while, stored food in their storage bags, checked on the cactus in her spatial dimension, and put a lot of spirit stones into it before coming out.

Seeing that it was almost time, they flew directly to the competition venue on their swords.

She only has one match this afternoon. (End of Chapter)
