Chapter 124: The Ghost Fiend Sect, Annihilated!
[Page 1 of 3]
The moment his voice fell, dozens of disciples from the Ghost Fiend Sect were instantly drained dry, reduced to mummified corpses.
“You don’t even spare your own people. You really are a beast.”
Su Yifan watched the scene unfold.
It would not affect him in the slightest, but he simply could not stand the way such people acted.
He even killed his own allies.
He was worse than an animal.
“As long as I can win, I don’t mind being a beast. What, are you going to bite me?”
Qiu Tianchi spoke with a ferocious grin.
“…”
Su Yifan swore that this was, without a doubt, the most shameless person he had ever encountered.
After a brief pause, he nodded in agreement.
“You’re right about one thing. Sometimes, when it comes to winning, using any means necessary is part of one’s strength.”
“But can you win?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised one finger like a sword and slashed outward.
The next moment—
Whoosh!
A streak of sword energy shot from his fingertip at astonishing speed, flying straight toward Qiu Tianchi.
“You want to kill me? It won’t be that easy.”
Qiu Tianchi swept out a hand, and a shield of true astral energy immediately appeared before him.
“Is that so?”
The corners of Su Yifan’s lips lifted slightly.
The next instant—
Crack!
The shield of true astral energy before Qiu Tianchi was instantly cleaved in two.
The sword energy did not stop. It swept across Qiu Tianchi’s neck.
At that moment, Qiu Tianchi’s eyes widened. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Then—
Bang!
His head fell to the ground, and a column of blood sprayed into the air.
Qiu Tianchi was dead.
Not far away, Lin Changkong had been so excited that he could not speak for quite some time.
If he had not witnessed it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that someone could single-handedly wipe out an entire second-rate sect.
Su Yifan walked over to Qiu Tianchi and searched him. Before long, he found two dimensional bags.
When he opened them, he discovered that one contained five thousand spirit stones, while the other was filled with spiritual medicines. Among them were even several rare medicines of the same quality as the Datura Flower.
“I didn’t expect this fellow to have so many spiritual medicines. Talk about getting everything without any effort. This trip wasn’t wasted after all.”
Su Yifan put everything away, then turned and walked over to Lin Changkong.
“Senior—ah… damn it…”
[Page 2 of 3]
Lin Changkong was just about to speak when Su Yifan grabbed him and flew away from the area.
…
At the same time.
Within the Qingyun Sword Sect, Mo Xingtian and several elders who had regained consciousness were gathered together.
“That is everything that happened.”
Mo Hanyue recounted in full how she and the others had met Su Yifan and everything that had taken place afterward.
After listening to his daughter, Mo Xingtian slowly let out a sigh of relief.
“Fortunately, you didn’t offend that senior back then.”
“Father, is he really as powerful as you claim?”
Mo Hanyue was still doubtful.
The man looked even younger than she was. How could he possibly be so powerful?
“Your father and the Third Elder witnessed it with our own eyes. How could it be false?”
Mo Xingtian spoke firmly.
If he had not seen it himself, he would never have believed that such a heaven-defying genius existed in this world.
What shocked him most was the astonishing method Su Yifan had used to help the python-dragon advance and undergo its tribulation. Such an ability was simply unheard of.
“Sect Master, the Third Elder and that man have been gone for so long. Could something have happened to them?”
One of the elders spoke up.
He was the Fifth Elder of the Qingyun Sword Sect.
Earlier, several of the elders had been knocked unconscious by the python-dragon, so they had no idea what had happened at the time.
From the sect master, they had learned that the man’s strength might have reached the Martial Emperor realm, or even the Martial Sovereign realm, though that was merely speculation.
The Ghost Fiend Sect, however, truly possessed several powerful experts, including two Martial Emperors.
They were worried that if the Third Elder and the others failed, the Qingyun Sword Sect would be dragged down with them.
“They should be fine.”
“I had already told him about the Ghost Fiend Sect’s situation, yet he remained completely unconcerned. I believe he must have been confident.”
Mo Xingtian was naturally worried as well, but he was more willing to trust that senior.
“Sect Master, one must prepare for the worst. Should we formulate a countermeasure first, or perhaps move some of the disciples elsewhere?”
The Fifth Elder made the suggestion.
Mo Xingtian found the idea reasonable. He turned toward his daughter.
“Hanyue, perhaps you should…”
“Father, I’m not leaving. Even if I have to die, I’ll stay with you and the sect.”
Mo Hanyue interrupted him before he could finish.
Given the Ghost Fiend Sect’s methods, if the Third Elder and the others truly failed, fleeing anywhere would be useless.
Rather than cling to life for a little longer, it was better to advance and retreat together with the sect.
Seeing how resolute his daughter was, Mo Xingtian immediately abandoned the idea.
The several elders exchanged complicated looks, but none of them said anything.
Just then, a disciple hurried in from outside.
“Sect Master, the Third… the Third Elder and the others are back.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Xingtian and the other sect elders immediately rose from their chairs.
[Page 3 of 3]
The next moment, Su Yifan and the Third Elder, Lin Changkong, walked in from outside.
The moment she saw them, Mo Hanyue fixed her eyes on Su Yifan.
They were back.
That meant the Ghost Fiend Sect had probably been destroyed.
This man… was truly formidable.
The moment Mo Xingtian saw Su Yifan, he did not dare delay. He hurried forward to greet him, with several sect elders following close behind.
“Senior, you’re back.”
Su Yifan nodded at this. Without wasting words, he extended one hand.
Mo Xingtian froze, momentarily unable to understand.
Lin Changkong reminded him, “Sect Master, the spirit stones.”
Mo Xingtian suddenly understood. He hurriedly took out a dimensional bag and placed it in Su Yifan’s hand.
“Senior, what happened at the Ghost Fiend Sect…?”
Before Su Yifan could answer, Lin Changkong spoke.
“Sect Master, the Ghost Fiend Sect no longer exists.”
He then recounted, in complete detail, everything that had happened after they arrived at the Ghost Fiend Sect.
After listening to Lin Changkong’s account, everyone’s expressions changed again and again, each revelation leaving them more shocked than the last.
“Since I accepted your spirit stones, I naturally keep my word. Now that the matter is settled, I should be on my way.”
Su Yifan left them with those words, then turned and walked outside.
Mo Xingtian and the others were still too stunned to react.
At that moment, Mo Hanyue hurried after him. She ran in front of Su Yifan and blocked his path.
“Is there something else?”
Mo Hanyue merely met his eyes before lowering her head shyly.
“Thank you for saving our entire Qingyun Sword Sect.”
“Oh.”
Su Yifan replied with a single word, walked past her, and continued toward the exit.
Only when he was nearly at the hall doors did Mo Hanyue finally summon her courage. She turned around and asked, “May I know your name?”
The instant her words fell, Su Yifan had already reached the entrance.
He paused for a second, then leaped into the air and departed.
Mo Hanyue instinctively wanted to chase after him.
“Forget it, Hanyue. Someone like him is beyond our reach.”
Mo Xingtian had come up behind his daughter. He had naturally seen through her feelings, but matters like this could not be forced.
For someone so young to possess such terrifying strength, his identity was certainly extraordinary. How could people like them ever hope to match him?
Hearing her father’s words, Mo Hanyue halted her departing step in disappointment.
Yet at that very moment—
A clear, resonant voice came from outside.
“Su Yifan.”
