“What’s there to think about? Those people are all weak and harmless. That girl is about my age. If this continues, she will die!” Yun Chuchu shook off Ye Mo and unsheathed the Devil Firecloud Sword from her back. She jumped and, stepping on the green leaves, she slashed one of the perpetrators down. The others were alarmed when they saw this woman who had suddenly appeared kill one of them with a single slash. They all looked at her vigilantly.
“You’re someone from Qingyun League?” the leader asked fearfully when he noticed Yun Chuchu’s clothing.
“You people are torturing commoners under broad daylight. This goes against the teachings of Qingyun League. I shall slaughter all of you today,” Yun Chuchu declared angrily.
“Hmph. Since you want to kill us, we will no longer care if you’re a member of the QIngyun League or not. We will kill you right here. Even the Qingyun League won’t find out about this.”
After those words, everyone hopped off their white horses and surrounded Yun Chuchu. Then, one of them grabbed at her shoulder. With a wave of the Devil Firecloud Sword, that person’s arm went flying. She started casually waving her sword around and with only a few attacks, only two survivors remained.
Those people were mostly at Energy Shaping First and Second Realms. On the other hand, Yun Chuchu was an Energy Shaping Sixth Realm warrior. With their level difference, she was able to kill one of them each time she waved her sword.
“How is this girl so powerful? Qingyun League members are indeed special. Her strength is probably no lower than Energy Shaping Five or Sixth Realm.” The two survivors were inwardly fearful.
“p.i.s.s off if you don’t want to die. I don’t feel like killing too many people.” Yun Chuchu had a kind nature and did not enjoy killing too many people. Spared, the two survivors sped off frantically on their white horses.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
Two huge stones with origin energy encased around them shot towards the two fleeing survivors. Their heads were instantly pierced before they both fell of their horses.
“Since you are already killing, you have to be ruthless. Your kindness will only harm you,” Ye Mo said as he leapt out the bush. There weren’t many kind girls like Yun Chuchu left nowadays. This was also the reason why she had managed to pique his interest.
“What’s there to fear? Will he even dare to come back and kill me?” Yun Chuchu said.
“Although we are Qingyun League members, we are only moderately strong when compared to some sects and factions. If we really anger them, they won’t care about our ident.i.ties. After letting those two off, they will most certainly tell on you,” Ye Mo explained.
“I find it hard to believe they will dare lay hands on someone from Qingyun League,” Yun Chuchu countered stubbornly. She did not seem convinced. She then started waving her sword, cutting off the ropes on the prisoners. All of them knelt down after they were freed.
“Thank you, Qingyun League members. We are members of the Sword Whisper Manor. Those people are all members of Yin Poison Society who had robbed a s.h.i.+pment of weapons we were escorting,” explained one of the women while crying.
“How had the Sword Whisper Manor provoked the Yin Poison Society?” Ye Mo asked in astonishment.
“What reason can it be apart from spirit weapons? The Yin Poison Society had obtained a Yin Poison Pearl recently and wanted us to either forge a Yin Poison Devil Sword for them or hand over our spirit plucking tool. Of course we refused. Since then, they had been targeting us in any way they can,” an old man explained and sighed before taking off his jacket and giving it to the woman beside him.
“You people are not even in the Energy Shaping Realm. Why had the manor sent you guys to escort the weapons?”
It was very common to meet robbers when on the road. Their strength of the Spirit Cultivating Realm was way too lacking. Normally, security firms would be hired to escort such s.h.i.+pments.
“We’re not even the security team for this s.h.i.+pment. We are only the disciples in charge of the doc.u.mentation. We had hired the Zhenyuan Security Firm to escort this s.h.i.+pment. Unfortunately, all of them were killed by the people from Yin Poison Society. Some of our manor’s experts were killed off as well.”
The moment Ye Mo heard this, his expression s.h.i.+fted. At the same time, a sinister laugh rang out behind him.
“Tsk tsk. Naturally, we have killed those people from Zhenyuan Security Firm. Are you Qingyun League fellows thinking of getting involved in the affairs of Yin Poison Society as well?”
Two people clothed in black leisurely walked towards them, one of them speaking in a high pitched voice.
“Hmph. I have long heard about the Yin Poison Society. The only thing you guys do is evil. The Sword Whisper Manor is under the protection of Qingyun League. Threatening the Sword Whisper Manor is the same as threatening the Qingyun League,” Yun Chuchu declared.
“Yo!” One of the black-clothed people rubbed his hands as a perverted look appeared in his eyes. “There’s actually a sweet girl here. This trip will totally be worth it.”
“People of Qingyun League, since you two have found out what we’re doing, I can’t allow you to leave. I will refine both of you into poison slaves that will be completely under our control, living the life of a walking corpse. Even when the people from Qingyun League investigate your disappearances, they won’t be able to find out we’re the culprit. Haha!”
“Want to kill us? Let’s see if you have what it takes.” As Yun Chuchu spoke, clumps of crimson fire cloud appeared around her Devil Firecloud Sword. Then, the Sharp Power of the sword spread out to form numerous Firecloud Sword Qis in the air.
“Firecloud Sword Qi!” Yun Chuchu immediately charged the perverted black-clothed guy and with her eyebrows furrowed, she slashed downward at him. A huge number of Firecloud Sword Qi swarmed him and pierced through his body.
The Firecloud Sword Qi was able to directly enter one’s body. Acting noiselessly, it was much stronger than a person’s internal strength. If the person hit by this sword qi couldn’t remove it in time, even his future cultivation would be adversely affected.
“Tsk tsk, little girl, you are quite strong, huh?” The black-clothed guy laughed in a perverted manner. Then, he spread his palm and a green figure appeared out of thin air to directly block Yun Chuchu’s attack. Next, the green poison slave started spraying green venomous gas from all over his body.
The entirety of Yun Chuchu’s attack had landed on the green poison slave. Her expression s.h.i.+fted as she immediately retreated to Ye Mo’s side and spoke solemnly, “You will be in charge of bringing those people out of here. I will stop the two black-clothed people.”
“You are quite a righteous person, little girl. Do you really believe they can leave? It doesn’t matter if you are from the Qingyun League or the Chen Clan Army. Anyone who offends the Yin Poison Society needs to die.”
The black-clothed man laughed sinisterly as the green poison slave before him pulled out two crescent-shaped poison sabers. Both sabers were completely shrouded in highly toxic poison.
The poison slave instantly locked onto Ye Mo who was the weaker of the two. He leapt past Yun Chuchu and directly attacked Ye Mo.
“Yin Poison Devil Saber!”
With blank eyes, the poison slave cleaved downward, sending the poisonous saber light at Ye Mo’s head.
“Ye Mo, dodge!” Yun Chuchu had initially thought that the poison slave was actually attacking her. When she noticed that the poison slave was only pa.s.sing by her to aim at Ye Mo behind her, she warned him with a shout. It was already too late for her to save Ye Mo. She could only watch on blankly as the poison slave swung his saber at Ye Mo.
Ye Mo stood there unmoving, as if he had been scared out of his mind. The next thing that happened stunned everyone. A pitch black origin energy appeared on Ye Mo’s palms. Then, the origin energy encased itself around his palms. With his very palms, he grabbed at the poison saber and crushed it like it was made out of dough. He then sent a palm attack at the poison slave.
Bang!
The poison slave was sent flying backwards before cras.h.i.+ng on a huge tree. With a creak, the huge tree snapped in half.
