C42 For Heaven's Sake

"It's not just you, you have a way to increase your strength"

Yan Lie smiled faintly and pointed at his "body" that was about to explode after being frozen by Ji Baihua. With a bang, his body turned into a mist of blood.

The bloody mist didn't disappear. Ning Er started to roll around intensely, as if something was about to come out of it.

Ji Baihua frowned and glanced at the blood mist. After a long time, she said in a cold tone, "Blood sacrifice? You actually cultivated the blood sacrifice right under the nose of the Dao Alliance. It seems like you have already fallen into a demonic state."

"Hmph, you self-proclaimed righteous people, how do you know how powerful this cultivation technique is?"

Yan Lie looked at Ji Baihua with disdain, the flames in his eyes were dancing. He said lightly, "Martial arts, body cultivation, they are all cultivation, but it's all because of body cultivation's growth. He is stronger than a martial art cultivator, and because of fear, you call him a demonic art. What is the meaning of this? "

Ji Baihua didn't say anything. He just looked at Yan Lie indifferently. No one could tell what kind of emotion he was feeling from his calm eyes.

"What's wrong? Are you speechless? Hahaha, silence? This is what you call the basis for accusing others?"

Yan Lie seemed to have gone mad. He laughed loudly, then opened his mouth and took a deep breath. The blood mist in front of him, which had been shattered by his own body, was sucked into his stomach.

As the last drop of blood mist floated into his mouth, his aura began to rise rapidly.

Although he still hadn't broken through to the Soul Formation stage in the end, his aura wasn't any weaker than Ji Baihua's.

"What a pity, even after making such a sacrifice, he still hasn't reached that step. However, it should be enough to deal with you"

He laughed loudly, completely not putting Ji Baihua in his eyes.

And Ji Baihua obviously didn't put him in his eyes either... She only faintly glanced in Yan Lie's direction, but the focus wasn't him. Instead, it was the Great Elder behind him, or rather, the Dragon Head Staff in the Great Elder's hand.

The Dragon Head Staff that was carved had lost its previous jet-black luster. It had become no different from a dead wood, and on the Great Elder's face... As the luster of the Dragon Head Staff dimmed, it seemed to have aged significantly. He looked like a dying old man who was about to die. There was no trace of cultivator's Dao Bone Immortal Wind.

When she thought about how the Great Elder's dragon-headed staff had touched Yan Lie's Nascent Soul, the corners of her mouth curled into a disdainful sneer.

"So that's how it is." Ji Baihua suddenly said.

Yan Lie was stunned for a second, then he realized that the other party must have seen through his trick. He immediately became proud and said: "How is it? You didn't expect it, did you? You don't think that I'm stupid enough to cultivate devil arts on my own body, do you? I don't want to die so early under the surveillance of you righteous sects."

" I really didn't think of that. " Ji Baihua calmly spoke:" I didn't think you would come up with such a method to set up a new world on top of a magic weapon. And I didn't think that there would be someone who would pay such a huge price for you "

"For the Ghost Shadow Sect, I won't hesitate to do so" At this time, the Great Elder spoke from behind Yan Lie.

His voice had also become extremely old and weak.

Yan Lie seemed even more pleased with himself. He continued to smile and said, "The Dragon Head Staff is the medium, and the Great Elder's blood essence is the catalyst. When I need it, this devil art can be absorbed into my body at any time. Humph, don't say that you are just an Early Soul Formation cultivator. I'm not afraid of even those Old Monster from a thousand years ago. "

"This cultivation technique is indeed overbearing. I really can't beat you." Ji Baihua said sincerely, but his eyes became incomparably cold, "But do you know why devil techniques are called devil techniques?"

"It's not because they cultivate body techniques, nor is it because body techniques are more powerful than spiritual arts, nor is it because body techniques forcefully absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their bodies, it's more natural resources... Have you... eaten human flesh before? "

As he finished his last sentence, Ji Baihua's body... A sharp killing intent rose up into the sky, her clear voice, cultivation, only by taking one step at a time, steady and steady, can it be called cultivation. One step into the sky was called heaven defying and heaven defying. And the righteous sects you speak of usually do one thing... That is... to enforce justice on behalf of heaven! "

"What? Sect Leader is actually cultivating a devil technique?"

"He is cultivating a devil art, but he still wants to eat human flesh?"

"It's over. Our Ghost Shadow Sect is finished. If this matter is spread out, the entire Cultivation will attack us together..."

Before Yan Lie could react, the disciples of his sect had started to become restless.

Among these disciples, other than the deacons who had barely reached the Golden Core stage, the rest were all at the Foundation Establishment stage and below, and the oldest looked to be in his thirties or forties. Many people had only heard of the North Pole Barren State on the continent, where all the desolate people were called devil clan. Because they cultivated demonic arts.

However, what they knew was limited to that. No one knew that there were conditions for cultivating demonic arts, such as... eating human flesh.

An evil aura condensed between Yan Lie's brows. It rushed into the clouds and eventually turned into a sharp sword that scattered in all directions. His eyes were focused on the sword intent of this sword. "Even if you say it like a flower falling from the sky, you'll still die today!"

"You've already turned into a demon, I'll kill you today as well!" Ji Baihua didn't back down, but compared to Yan Lie's anger, she was much calmer.

The sword between Yan Lie's eyebrows became sharper and sharper, he didn't waste any more time arguing with Ji Baihua, instead, he turned around and said to the Great Elder who looked like he was about to die: "You, are you ready?"

"Actually not yet." The Great Elder smiled bitterly. His tone became a little sad and reluctant, but in the end, these emotions turned into determination: "But, now."

"I will remember you."

Yan Lie said coldly. There was no emotion in his tone. It was as if he had changed into a completely different person. Then, he grabbed the Great Elder's shoulder. A strange scene appeared. Just as his palm touched the Great Elder's body... The Great Elder's body shriveled up at a visible rate. In just a moment, the Great Elder, who was only six feet tall, suddenly became half shorter. His body also shrunk by half.

Ji Baihua's eyes suddenly became serious, and his face was filled with disbelief.

She could feel that in that instant, all of the Great Elder's cultivation base had been absorbed by Yan Lie. Not only that, Yan Lie had also absorbed the Great Elder's blood essence.

"Didn't you ask me if I have eaten human flesh before? I will eat it now for you to see. Hahahaha..."

Yan Lie had gone mad. He laughed wildly. The last trace of cultivation base in the Great Elder's body was sucked into his body. The Great Elder's body had shrunk to one-third of its original size.

After that, under everyone's shocked gaze, the palm that he placed on the Great Elder's body... With a light squeeze, a slight cracking sound was heard, and the Great Elder's body broke into pieces. It turned into a bloody mist that filled the sky, but Ning Er did not scatter. It was exactly the same as the condition of Yan Lie's body.

Hiss...

Yan Lie opened his mouth and took a deep breath. The blood mist quickly entered his mouth.

"Ah, Sect Leader ate someone!"

Someone screamed and immediately, fear spread out from his voice. Then, fear spread like a plague in the crowd.

"Run, we might be eaten if we are one step slower..."

Countless Ghost Shadow Sect disciples were scrambling to escape. The scene was extremely chaotic.

"Leave? Where to?"

Yan Lie snorted coldly. He moved his body and appeared in front of the fastest man. He casually raised his hand and the man appeared in front of him. His palm also came out from the man's back. He stood there covered in blood, holding a beating heart in his hand.

"Traitors like you usually fight with each other over the resources in our sect. Now that our sect is in trouble, all you want to do is run away? Such a waste! You might as well kill him and use him as my spiritual energy to increase my strength! "

Yan Lie said indifferently, his cold eyes sweeping across those disciples who were about to run away. He had placed himself on the moral high ground, but he had forgotten about it. These people didn't flee because of the sect, but because of their Sect Leader. They had already lost the most basic human nature as humans.

"Hundred Flowers Palace Master, please save our lives! We are all innocent! Please!"

The path ahead was blocked, and the disciples who had nowhere to go suddenly thought of something. It seemed like the only one who could save them was Ji Baihua.

At this moment, they had completely forgotten that Ji Baihua was here to take their lives.

Looking at the pleading look in the disciple's eyes, Ji Bai Hua suddenly felt that... He was really pitiful, then, she reached out her hand and a silver sword instantly appeared in her hand, cutting off the disciple's head. The head spurted out blood and rolled far away. Wherever it passed, the Ghost Shadow Sect disciples turned their bodies and gave way.

"Save you? When you attacked my Hundred Flowers Palace, did you ever think of showing mercy?"

Ji Baihua's calm voice echoed in the air, but it was filled with endless coldness.

Someone was unconvinced, and shouted: "The one attacking your Hundred Flowers Palace is only a third of the disciples of the Ghost Shadow Sect. But you have already killed half of our brothers today, isn't that enough? Moreover, many of us here have spent our entire lives washing and cooking. Could it be that they are also in the wrong? "

" Yes. "

Ji Baihua looked into that person's eyes and seriously said to him: "From the moment you joined the Ghost Shadow Sect, from the moment your Ghost Shadow Sect attacked my Hundred Flowers Palace... You guys were wrong, you made the wrong choice, so no matter what the Ghost Shadow Sect did wrong... It's all your fault, no matter what kind of disaster the Ghost Shadow Sect suffered. It is all your fault. "

"Out of the five thousand disciples of my Hundred Flowers Palace, more than half of them have died. There are still over a thousand disciples locked up by you. These days, I believe you've been torturing them quite a bit... "Ji Baihua's eyes became cold, and his voice was the same:" Then, what right do you have to say that you're innocent? Don't forget, the reason why I came here today... I'm going to destroy you all! "

As his voice faded, his head fell.

Everyone fell silent, recalling what Ji Baihua had just said, they couldn't help but ask themselves in their hearts: I... am really innocent?

The final answer they got was - - not innocent.

They thought back to when they first joined the Ghost Shadow Sect, they were sent to the entrance of the Night Charm Forest. They were there to kill those mercenaries who entered the forest and fought with the Demonic Beast, but they were exhausted, so they took the mercenaries' lives and spoils for themselves.

Although these were the orders of the sect, they had treated it as a training experience. The feeling of obtaining something without any effort had made them addicted to it.

They recalled the time when the women in the Hundred Flowers Palace were captured. The Great Elder had asked them to interrogate those women. They vented their desires on them, the fragrance of the girls' bodies, and their miserable screams. It made them incomparably excited.

Were they innocent?

Of course not!

But was he going to die because of this? Do I want to die?

Of course not!

However, Ji Baihua didn't give them the chance to examine whether her heart was good or bad. She slowly walked towards Yan Lie, and in the middle were thousands of Ghost Shadow Sects disciples.

No one was left alive within thirty meters!

With every step she took, the area within thirty meters would be covered by countless disciples.

Thus, as she gradually approached, countless disciples turned into ice sculptures, and their auras disappeared.

These disciples were all Golden Core cultivators and below who had yet to form a Nascent Soul. Naturally, there was no saying that a Nascent Soul cultivator would escape.

"This is the cruelty of Cultivation. From the moment you stepped onto the path of cultivation, you should be prepared."

Ji Baihua whispered and continued to walk.
