Li Hanyan spoke immediately, “I’ll go look for Elder Sister Xue Ling!”
Then, she glided away before Chu Li could say anything.
Su Ru sighed. “Is she alright? Her urge to kill is too strong.”
She dared to say that the person with the greatest murderous intent within the Snow Lunar Pavilion was Li Hanyan. Instead of experiencing disgust and remorse, Li Hanyan felt euphoric and took joy in slaying people. In fact, it was abnormal and rather shocking.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. “It’s my fault that I influenced her by brutally killing people in the past. Let’s take it slow.”
“And you still want to kill people?” Su Ru was exasperated. “I’m worried that if this goes on, she’ll be addicted to it and she won’t feel comfortable unless she kills someone!”
Chu Li began to chuckle.
“Don’t you laugh!” Su Ru was not amused and shot him a glare. “Don’t you think that’ll happen?”
Chu Li shook his head.
Su Ru snorted. “Didn’t you listen to what she said just now? Killing is a joyful act. She feels delighted when she thinks of how many kind souls that she has saved. Is this sort of thought process akin to that of a normal person’s?”
Chu Li smiled and nodded. “My thoughts are the same as hers.”
“There’s nothing wrong with thinking this way, but killing is a whole other subject.” Su Ru shook her head. “Anyway, you’d better be careful. Don’t nurture a female devil!”
Chu Li twitched his eyebrows and nodded slowly.
Su Ru’s worries were not unwarranted.
Previously, he took Li Hanyan along to slay hundreds of people. At first, she was immensely stimulated by this, but she felt numb later on and her senses warped. He had to be careful, but thankfully, Li Hanyan was an innocent and kind lady. She did not hate society nor was she radical, and she only wanted to get rid of bad people and rescue the good ones.
At this point, it was not a good idea to suppress her thoughts too much.
“Let’s take it easy. I’ll keep an eye on her,” Chu Li said.
Su Ru nodded.
Xue Ling entered along with Li Hanyan.
“Master.” Xue Ling curtsied.
Chu Li grinned. “Hanyan wanted you to accompany her on her mission to eradicate the t.i.tanium Faction and Great Virtues Clan. Do you want to follow her? ?”
“Yes.” Xue Ling gave a slight nod.
Xue Ling had exquisite features and a fair and impeccable complexion, that made her beautiful yet icy. There was an air of indifference about her and she bore a distant aura.
Even if it was summer, one would feel cold while standing beside her.
Chu Li said in a low voice, “Actually, there are many ways to enhance your abilities. You can just spar with others regularly .”
Xue Ling shook her head gently. “Flashy but impractical. Without experiencing a real battle, martial arts is nothing but a false front. Earlier, when I was by your side, Master, I sparred with other people and it wasn’t actually overwhelming .”
“Who told you about this ?”
“I figured it out on my own. My Palm technique is no worse than Big Brother Jiang’s, but every time we fight, I always end up on the losing end.” Xue Ling frowned. “My cultivation level is even higher than Younger Sister Hanyan’s, but I can’t defeat her.”
Chu Li replied, “By staying beside me, you won’t have many opportunities to utilize martial arts to fight with others.”
“I don’t want to embarra.s.s you, Master!” Xue Ling uttered out loud.
“… Fine, let’s go.” Chu Li nodded slowly.
…
The t.i.tanium Faction was located on the side of a mountain.
It was a two-hundred-meter high mountain and was not exactly huge. The t.i.tanium Faction was hidden beneath the depths of the mountain. There were not many among the Martial Arts World who knew about the t.i.tanium Faction, but there was not a single person near the t.i.tanium Faction who had not heard of it.
The t.i.tanium Faction seemed like a faction but it was more of a mountain village. It was the nature of the members to pillage and plunder. However, they would usually travel hundreds of miles away to carry out their raids and would not conduct raids within a hundred miles from the t.i.tanium Mountain. Men were slaughtered and women were taken by force to the mountain.
According to the people in the vicinity, the t.i.tanium Faction was very wealthy. The faction had ten Great Buddhas who were renowned experts. Among second-rate factions, their abilities were one of a kind within a hundred-mile radius and no one dared to offend them.
Many martial arts paladins were aware of their despicable actions. They wanted to be vigilantes and defeat them to ensure peace and harmony. Unfortunately, they died under mysterious circ.u.mstances, and the t.i.tanium Faction still stood strong and could not be shaken by anyone.
In the evening, three people arrived at the t.i.tanium Faction. There was a young man in a white robe and two attractive young women covered in white veils. Only their round, beautiful eyes could be seen and those pairs of eyes stared coldly at the faction.
There was a large, ornamental gateway in front which was made of stone that resembled white jade and had the words “t.i.tanium Faction” written on it. It looked ancient and weathered.
A long stone staircase laid behind the gateway. The top of the staircase could not be seen and it stretched towards the depths of the forest. The t.i.tanium Faction could not be viewed clearly as it was shrouded by the trees and surrounding vegetation. One had to take a few steps forward before he or she could see the actual outline of the t.i.tanium Faction.
Furthermore, once a person had stepped inside the faction, they could not utilize the Light-body Technique, or else they would be regarded as an enemy of the t.i.tanium Faction and get killed.
Two disciples dressed in green stood guard below the ornamental gate, wielding blades.
When they noticed the arrival of the three figures, the two disciples in green glared at them. “Stop right there, who are you?”
Chu Li had already seen the t.i.tanium Faction and comprehended what laid beyond the gate. His brows formed a deep crease.
Two Grandmasters, eight Innate Masters, sixty-two Acquired Masters and fifty over women dressed in extravagant outfits. Each of them had their own courtyards. There was a cave behind the t.i.tanium Faction that was filled to the brim with gold, silver, and other jewels.
Chu Li twitched his brows and s.h.i.+fted his head. “I’ll leave the remaining ones to both of you. Except for the women, the lives of all these men shouldn’t be spared.”
Xue Ling asked, “All of them must die?”
Chu Li nodded.
He had read the minds of everyone within the faction. Fifty women had been abducted and brought to this mountain. Their loved ones were slain and they were taken here by force. The whole purpose of staying alive until this day was to witness the comeuppance of these people.
Blood was on the hands of the two Grandmasters, eight Innate Masters, and sixty-two Acquired Masters. Each and every one of them must die.
“Good, let’s kill them all!” Li Hanyan’s eyes lit up with excitement. “I’ve heard about this bunch a long time ago. I’ve always wanted to get rid of them!”
Xue Ling hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly.
“Let’s start with them.” Li Hanyan snorted and took large steps forward. “Are both of you part of the t.i.tanium Faction?”
“That’s right!”
“Then prepare to die!” Li Hanyan hollered and drew out her sword. In the blink of an eye, she slashed the throats of the two men.
Her movements were lightning fast and the two disciples in green failed to react in time. They clutched their throats in bewilderment and collapsed.
Li Hanyan reacted with a “hmph.””Too weak!”
She turned her head. “Elder Sister Xue Ling, these two might seem like n.o.bodies, but they’re the cruelest when it comes to slaughtering innocent civilians. They deserved to die!”
Xue Ling nodded.
Chu Li spoke, “Hanyan, when you are killing people, you must control your murderous intent. If you’re controlled by your murderous intent, you’ll have a hard time thinking clearly. Being dominated by the urge to kill will cloud your judgment.”
“Yes!” Li Hanyan gave a forceful nod.
The two disciples in green were unable to sound the alarm in time. Thus, the three of them advanced quietly. They used their Light-body Technique to ascend the stairs and soon arrived before a basilica.
The martial arts field in front of the basilica was noisy and crowded. Sixty-two disciples were cultivating. When they saw the three figures gliding upwards, all of them ceased their activities and stared at them in a threatening manner, gripping firmly on their weapons. Those without weapons also channeled their abilities to prepare for the upcoming battle.
The sixty-two disciples’ murderous intentions were overwhelming. They regarded the three figures from high above with cold hard gazes, as if they were looking at three lambs waiting to be butchered.
Chu Li shook his head. “Kill them all!”
“Yes!” Li Hanyan acknowledged him and rushed towards the crowd.
Chu Li turned towards Xue Ling. “The lives of at least three innocent people lie at the hands of each of these people. Show no mercy!”
“Yes.” Xue Ling gave a slight nod, then glided forward as well.
