Book 2, Chapter 102 - Let’s Compare Who Has More People

Immortal Soaring Blade

When Bai Qingqing’s aura changed, the people of Iron Mouth Village were all shocked and short of breath. At this moment, they felt that this young girl had the potential to deal with Han Songcheng, and they felt hope. Even though they were a distance away from Bai Qingqing, they could still feel the pressure in the air.

If even the villagers could feel the pressure, there was no need to talk about the three being surrounded by this pressure. The skinny, lecherous man was sweating, pale, and shaking—he felt like he was going to suffocate.

Even the gloomy old man’s expression turned ugly when he sensed danger. He didn’t expect to meet someone else in Yellow Flower Ridge with a higher cultivation level than him, not to mention someone so young.

The only person who wasn’t shocked too much was Han Songcheng. At this moment, all the lecherous intent in his heart disappeared; he didn’t even feel greed toward the dazzling sword in Bai Qingqing’s hand. This alluring young girl before him was at the same cultivation level as him. He had spent decades crawling and rolling his way forward, and he only reached this cultivation level due to some strange encounters. Yet this young girl not even 20 years old had done the same.

The same cultivation level wasn’t enough to force Han Songcheng to retreat—he was thinking about something else. This matter would not be settled so easily, he was afraid there might be some terrifying elders behind this young girl. Only a big sect or powerful force could cultivate such a powerful young disciple, and they were not people he could afford to offend.

Not long ago, he killed the three people at the Daoist temple because he didn’t have anything to worry about, they were alone without any connections. Han Songcheng was not afraid of this young girl just because she had late stage Foundation Realm cultivation. What he was afraid of was that if he dealt with her, then her backing would pop up looking for him!

However, how could Han Songcheng know that the higher the quality of the cultivation method, the faster one cultivates? It was already very good for him to reach this cultivation level, given the trash cultivation method he had found by accident. It has to be said talented people could condense their spirit core in less than 20 years!

Han Songcheng was still thinking about the pros and cons. However, Bai Qingqing was already furious and wouldn't give him time to think.

Three rays of sword energy followed one after the other, this time much stronger. The sharpness even shocked Han Songcheng, and he quickly avoided them. One ray of sword energy went toward the gloomy old man, who could not avoid it. Seeing the sword energy close in, he could only block as there was still a person behind him.

The spirit force inside the gloomy old man surged like crazy and a blood-colored light surrounded his body and collided with the sword energy.

The sword energy instantly cut through the blood-colored light, but its power weakened greatly. The gloomy old man could only raise his own flying sword to block this blow.

When the sword energy and sword collided, they created a metallic sound. An invisible shockwave spread out from the center of the collision and the sword energy dissipated. The gloomy old man was forced back a few steps and his right arm was numb. The spirit force inside his whole body was disrupted and he felt a chill spread throughout his body.

The gloomy old man’s expression suddenly changed and he panicked because he had less than 50% of his spirit force left. Previously, in order to look cool, he had blade soared here and wasted a lot of spirit force. If he knew the situation was going to be like this, he would have never wasted spirit force like that.

In such a short period of time, Bai Qingqing had made the three of them suffer. At this time, Han Songcheng’s expression became ugly because he was lacking spirit force as well. He had also blade soared here, and he could no longer stay calm.

He raised his head and angrily shouted at the gloomy old man, “Let's fight together, let’s kill her first!” His words were filled with killing intent. Although she was beautiful, his life was more important. If they killed her, he could still get her treasures, and it was obvious at a glance that her sword was extraordinary.

After Han Songcheng finished speaking, the grey sword in his hand buzzed and a spirit force that didn’t belong to Bai Qingqing erupted. His spirit force surged into the sword in his hand and he leaped at Bai Qingqing.

The gloomy old man moved after hearing Han Songcheng’s words. He endured the soreness in his arm and released what spirit force he had left. They held the advantage in a two-on-one situation. A blood-red light shined while he rushed forward. The two of them pincered Bai Qingqing from the sides.

“Hmph!”

Zhao Jiuge let out a snort of disdain and his expression turned cold. How could they let them teamup on Bai Qingqing? He hadn’t made his move yet.

A sound like flowing water echoed through the air. Although it was soft, in this tense atmosphere, it was like throwing a stone into a calm lake.

A ray of blue light shone from the Blue Plum Sword, and the entire sword trembled while it floated before Zhao Jiuge. Seeing that Bai Qingqing was no longer pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, Zhao Jiuge also stopped holding back. His mid stage of the Foundation Realm cultivation erupted.

Then he rushed forward like an arrow. His actions were exactly the same as Bai Qingqing’s, and rays of identical sword energy shot out.

The gloomy old man was startled. Mid stage of the Foundation Realm, another Foundation Realm cultivator. His previously stable mindset collapsed into panic. At full strength, he could only barely put up a fight, and now he was not even at his peak.

His heart was filled with regret that he hadn’t looked at his fortune before leaving. Although he was cursing in his heart, he didn’t stop moving. He clenched his teeth and held the blood-colored sword before him to resist. He could only pin his hopes on Han Songcheng.

Ding, ding, ding...

Three rays of sword energy hit the gloomy old man’s body and he was forced back three steps. With every step he took, the spirit force around his body dimmed more and made him cry bitter tears.

The gloomy old man could only dodge by retreating, and his expression was extremely ugly. When Han Songcheng saw Zhao Jiuge erupt with Foundation Realm cultivation, his expression finally became ugly. Before, he had ignored Zhao Jiuge as he hadn’t expected them both to be so fierce. It was ridiculous that he was charging them himself. After Zhao Jiuge revealed his cultivation, Han Songcheng had already thought of retreating. They were not at their peak condition and were caught off guard. During a normal situation, he and his subordinate, Vulture, would be able to put up a fight.

He wanted to rescue Vulture, but he was being helplessly chased by an angry Bai Qingqing.

Zhao Jiuge saw the old man, Vulture, constantly retreat, so he also quickly gave chase. He felt no burden in his heart about killing these scum.

Thinking about how many evil things they had done and how many girls they ruined, Zhao Jiuge’s gaze became cold and killing intent flowed out.

The temperature in the surrounding area suddenly dropped—it was obvious that the surroundings had become cooler. Golden spirit force rushed out from Zhao Jiuge’s body with a hint of ice-blue mixed inside. This was his first time materializing his spirit force after tempering his body.

His spirit force rushed toward Vulture, and before the spirit force closed in, Vulture already felt the chill. Even a panicked rabbit would bite, so there was no need to mention him. There was a hint of viciousness as he grabbed the skinny man and threw him toward the spirit force to buy time.

He quickly took out a ⅓-meter drum with his left hand. It was yellow and had red edges with two red beads hanging on the edge on a thread of silk. This was Vulture’s most important treasure, the Twilight Drum. He had stolen it from a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator.

The skinny man felt like something bad was going to happen when he was thrown into the air. However, his Spirit Detecting Realm cultivation was so small and weak at this moment.

“Ahahahahahah….”

The skinny man screamed in fear and his eyes were wide open. When he smashed into the golden spirit force, his screams echoed even louder. A creaking sound echoed while a blue crystal quickly spread across his body, freezing him.

After Zhao Jiuge used his spirit force, he didn’t remain idle—he sent the Blue Plum Sword to follow. The skinny man that was frozen had his body cut into pieces. A living person had been turned into a dead person in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Jiuge didn’t feel any burden after killing someone, but instead felt excitement. This was what he wanted, to pursue and kill all the evil people in the world.

Behind him, a burst of cheers came from the villagers. When they saw one of the pieces of dog shit die, the villagers couldn’t help but cheer.

Han Songcheng’s expression was extremely ugly. It was fine for someone like that to die, as long as Vulture was fine. Vulture was his right hand man after all. Han Songcheng cursed in his heart when he heard the villagers cheer. “Just you all wait, I’ll deal with you all later.”

He wanted to help, but he was cornered by Bai Qingqing and couldn’t do anything.

Vulture, who felt danger, completely erupted. His eyes became ferocious, his spirit force formed a layer of armor around him, and his left hand began to sway side to side.

Dong, dong, dong...

A strange sound echoed slowly but rhythmically.

Vulture spat out a mouthful of blood when the golden spirit force and the sword energy hit his body. Even with the spirit force protecting him, his body was injured. However, his left hand didn’t stop swaying.

Dong, dong, dong. Each knock that entered your ear would shake your heart.

Soon, Zhao Jiuge felt a bit dizzy and his spirit force seemed to stall. Even Bai Qingqing felt this.

Just at this moment, Vulture shouted, “Let’s leave quickly.” Reacting to this, Han Songcheng quickly jumped on his flying sword. While Zhao Jiuge and Bai Qingqing lost their focus, he rescued Vulture.

After using the Twilight Drum, Vulture was completely out of spirit force. The next moment, Zhao Jiuge and Bai Qingqing recovered, but it was too late. Han Songcheng had rescued Vulture and was more than 200 meters away. This surprised and annoyed Zhao Jiuge and Bai Qingqing.

The villagers at the village entrance still cheered. All of this had happened in a flash. In the blink of an eye, the situation had changed.

“Just wait, let’s see who has more people!” Han Songcheng’s angry voice echoed from the distance. The cheers from the villagers of Iron Mouth Village were like a thorn in his heart.

Not to mention he had been caught off guard by Zhao Jiuge and Bai Qingqing. He was not someone who was willing to suffer at the hand of others.

The light from his flying sword gradually disappeared into the distance.
