From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 190 Kill them all

Yuzhou, Liyang City.

Heavy snow fell, blanketing this bustling city. The buildings in Liyang City, mostly with red walls and pillars, have a unique style that is famous throughout the world.

At this moment, in the eastern district of Liyang City, dust and snow fog are flying everywhere, and a large number of people and merchants are fleeing.

Inside a mansion, the buildings had collapsed, and ruins were everywhere. Martial artists were scattered around, their faces extremely grim, all looking in the same direction.

Following their gaze, Xue Jin stood atop the ruins, long sword in hand, his eyes cold and undisguised in his killing intent.

"Qingxiao Sect, do you truly intend to exterminate us all?"

A disheveled old man in a black robe shouted angrily. He had fought Xue Jin earlier, but was defeated in less than three moves and almost beheaded.

He was Wu Huan, the Grand Protector of Lingtian Sect.

He has practiced martial arts for forty years and has mastered divine skills. Ordinary martial arts masters who encounter him will be instantly killed.

However, even someone as powerful as him was completely powerless against Xue Jin. He ambushed Xue Jin and was almost killed in retaliation, which was hard for him to accept.

The imposing man standing next to Wu Huan was Xiao Wu Hui, the second protector of Lingtian Sect.

Xiao Wu Hui was tall and wore a bamboo hat. His face was weathered and his long hair was casually draped over his shoulders. Although his clothes were not as luxurious as Wu Huan's, his aura was no weaker than Wu Huan's.

At first glance, he seemed to be a middle-aged Xiao Wudi, his gaze fixed on Xue Jin, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Xue Jin also looked at Xiao Wu Hui, and he could sense that Xiao Wu Hui was the strongest among the remnants of Lingtian Sect.

Not only that, this person is also a cultivator!
"Fourth level of the Nourishing Essence Realm, impressive." Xue Jin ignored Wu Huan, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Wu Hui as he spoke coldly.

Xiao Wu Hui was naturally displeased to see this young man commenting on him in the tone of a senior.

However, he had to admit that Xue Jin was stronger than him.

Xiao Wu Hui glanced into the distance and saw a figure walking on the courtyard wall; it was Shen Yue.

Looking in other directions, one could see the figures of other Qingxiao Sect disciples, who were surrounded and had nowhere to escape.

Xiao Wu Hui slowly lowered his head and let out a strange laugh: "Useless, truly useless. A bunch of good-for-nothings who insist on provoking the Qingxiao Sect and obeying the Qi family. They will never achieve anything great."

Xue Jin stared at him, not in a hurry to make a move. It wasn't that he was deliberately giving him a chance, but rather that he was waiting for the other disciples to find Ji Wuye, the sect leader of Lingtian Sect.

The Lingtian Sect emerged out of nowhere, unifying half of the martial arts world. Everyone knew that its leader was Ji Wuye, but no one had ever seen Ji Wuye in person.

Xu Ning and Jiang Zhaoxia had swept through Lingtian Sect before, but they had never seen Ji Wuye.

Unlike the other two, Xue Jin wouldn't act rashly and alert the enemy. He chose the day when all the Lingtian Sect warriors gathered to strike and wipe them out in one fell swoop. However, he couldn't find Ji Wuye, which made him very wary.

His intuition told him that Ji Wuye was hiding in this mansion, but was just pretending not to be there.

Otherwise, the Lingtian Sect wouldn't have gathered so completely.

Upon hearing Xiao Wu Hui's words, Wu Huan flew into a rage. He angrily rebuked Xiao Wu Hui, saying, "Not provoke the Qingxiao Sect? You want to bypass the Qingxiao Sect and unify the martial arts world? What a fool's dream!"

boom--

Suddenly, Xiao Wu Hui raised his palm and struck Wu Huan, smashing Wu Huan's head apart from a distance. Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, startling the Lingtian Sect warriors, who all took a step back and looked at Xiao Wu Hui in fear.

Ignoring the gazes of his fellow martial artists, Xiao Wu Hui looked at Xue Jin, stepped forward, and said, "Xue Jin, you are the first person to force me to use my martial arts secret technique. However, since my opponent is a master like you, it is worth it even if it shortens my lifespan."

boom--

A violent burst of energy erupted from Xiao Wu Hui's body, blowing off his bamboo hat and shattering the ground beneath his feet. The energy was even mixed with traces of blood.

The Lingtian Sect warriors looked at Xiao Wu Hui in disbelief. It was the first time they had ever felt such a terrifying aura. Coupled with Xiao Wu Hui's actions just now, the Lingtian Sect warriors felt apprehensive.

This is a person's instinctive reaction to danger.

Xue Jin narrowed his eyes, a cold glint in them.

He could sense that Xiao Wu Hui's aura had surpassed the fourth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm. He feared that killing Xiao Wu Hui would not be so easy.

However, with Shen Yue around, Xue Jin wasn't worried.

Without a word, he leaped up, drew his sword, and charged at Xiao Wu Hui, like an eagle pouncing on its prey, unstoppable.

Xiao Wu Hui stepped out with his right foot and struck the sky with his palm. The surging energy was like a mountain torrent, stirring up dust and snow. It was like a dragon rising up and attacking Xue Jin.

……

In mid-December, the first batch of spirit copper was delivered to Qingxiao Mountain, and Li Qingqiu directly instructed his disciples to transfer it to the Heavenly Craft Hall.

Just three days later, Wu Xingyue came to visit Li Qingqiu.

"Sect Master, this spirit copper is an excellent material for forging magical artifacts. Its uses are immense. We must strictly control the spirit copper and not let others waste it!"

As soon as Li Qingqiu entered Lingxiao Courtyard, Wu Xingyue rushed over with a sword in her hand, her voice excited. As she spoke, she handed the sword to Li Qingqiu.

The material of this sword is obviously extraordinary, with a strange, cold light flowing through it, making it very eye-catching.

The blade was three fingers wide and nearly four feet long, longer than most swords in the secular martial arts world. Li Qingqiu gripped the longsword and infused it with his vital energy, causing the blade to vibrate and hum, which made him raise an eyebrow.

Ordinary weapons cannot withstand the infusion of vital energy; at most, they can only coat the blade with vital energy for combat.

This sword can contain vital energy, which is no small feat!
If the blade is filled with primordial energy, the cultivator will have easier control over the sword, which also proves that the blade can withstand the impact of primordial energy and will not shatter at the slightest touch.

"Is it difficult to forge such a sword?" Li Qingqiu asked.

Wu Xingyue replied excitedly, "It only takes three days, which is why I say spirit copper is very important. The forging process is very easy; spirit copper only needs to be shaped and is not so easy to ruin."

“Good. Then forge ten thousand swords like these first, and I will distribute them to the sect disciples later.” Li Qingqiu ordered generously.

Although this sword is not a powerful magical weapon, it is definitely a divine weapon. It will be much more convenient for sect disciples to travel the world with such a sword.

“No problem, Sect Master, would you like to name this sword?” Wu Xingyue nodded in response.

Li Qingqiu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's call it Qingxiao Sword. From now on, the words 'Qingxiao' must be engraved below the hilt of every sword, and it's best if they can't be erased."

After listening, Wu Xingyue seemed to be deep in thought.

She has already mastered many basic restrictions, all of which originated from the [Basic Records of Array Formations]. Her learning speed is not much slower than Mingguang's; it's just that the two of them are studying different directions.

"I'll give it a try," Wu Xingyue replied, not daring to make any promises too confidently.

Li Qingqiu returned the Qingxiao Sword to her, then offered her a few words of encouragement before letting her leave.

As Wu Xingyue walked out of Lingxiao Courtyard, a smile appeared on Li Qingqiu's face.

Spirit copper is indeed suitable for forging magical artifacts. With the support of the Spirit Copper Mountain Range, Qingxiao Sect will take a big step forward.

Even if there are no powerful enemies threatening them for the time being, Li Qingqiu is preparing to seize the time to equip his disciples with magical artifacts.

He cannot wait for a powerful enemy to appear before he begins preparations.

He wanted to make the sect as powerful as possible, so that Qingxiao Sect would have the confidence to deal with any trouble.

Because of the Qingxiao Sword forged by Wu Xingyue, Li Qingqiu's mood improved, and he headed down the mountain to instruct his beloved disciples in cultivation.

Now, the three Xiao brothers and Yun Cai have all embarked on the path of cultivation. They can cultivate on their own without Li Qingqiu constantly watching over them. Therefore, Li Qingqiu doesn't usually have to worry about them and only needs to give them occasional guidance.

News of the Qingxiao Sword spread quickly, and more and more disciples learned that the sect was preparing to forge a magical artifact for them, which greatly excited the disciples.

They started pulling strings and asking around, trying to figure out what qualifications were needed to possess a magical artifact.

It's impossible for a sect to prepare magical artifacts for every disciple. They need to ask around to find out which direction to focus their efforts on.

The year is drawing to a close.

Shen Yue and Xue Jin returned with their men.

Li Qingqiu let the two men into Lingxiao Courtyard. When he saw Xue Jin, he frowned.

Xue Jin's right arm was broken, and his right sleeve was empty, which aroused his murderous intent, and his face turned ugly.

Shen Yue approached Li Qingqiu and said, "The mission is complete, but I feel sorry for Xue Jin."

Xue Jin placed the bundle in his hand on the table and said, "This is the head of Xiao Wu Hui, the second protector of Lingtian Sect. I used a secret medicine to preserve it, so it can be identified."

Li Qingqiu looked at him and asked, "Who did it?"

"Xiao Wu Hui".

"what happened?"

Li Qingqiu's brows furrowed even more. Shen Yue began to recount, "Xiao Wu Hui is also a cultivator, and his cultivation has reached the fourth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm. He knew that his three sons were cultivating at the Qingxiao Sect and were even following you. After he and Xue Jin were both severely injured, he begged me for mercy, hoping that I would bring him back alive, saying that you might not kill him. I hesitated for a moment, but Xue Jin directly swung his sword, intending to behead Xiao Wu Hui. However, Xiao Wu Hui was no ordinary person. Before dying, he broke Xue Jin's right arm, which was wielding the sword, with a palm strike. At the critical moment, Xue Jin actually sucked the sword in the air into his mouth, bit the hilt, and beheaded him with one strike."

Speaking of this, Shen Yue's expression was very strange. Even now, when he recalls the scene of Xue Jin biting the sword, he still finds it absurd.

For the first time, he realized that Xue Jin was no ordinary person.

Xue Jin said, "It's not Senior Shen's fault. He gave me face by saying it would be a lose-lose situation. But if Senior Shen hadn't made a move, I probably wouldn't have been a match for Xiao Wu Hui. As for losing an arm, it's nothing."

His expression was calm, as if he really didn't take the matter to heart.

Li Qingqiu asked, "Did you bring your severed arm back?"

“I brought it. I thought with your medical skills you might be able to fix it, so I carried it myself.” Shen Yue took the bundle off his back and placed it on the table.

Xue Jin looked at Li Qingqiu and said, "Sect Master, I was afraid it would put you in a difficult position, so I killed him directly. If the three Xiao brothers ask about it, please tell them the truth. If they hate me, then hate me. Of course, if you yourself do not want to kill him, then please punish me."

Li Qingqiu glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I was the one who asked you to do this, so I will take responsibility for it. If those three really hate you, I would rather abandon them than let you go."

Upon hearing this, Xue Jin was stunned.

Everyone in the sect knows that the sect leader values ​​the three Xiao brothers highly. Although they are not officially master and disciple, they are in fact master and disciple.

Given these circumstances, how could he not be moved when he heard Li Qingqiu's words?
