Chapter 118: The Brutes of the Cloud Transformation Sect

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: The Brutes of the Cloud Transformation Sect

At this point, Ouyang Bing had given up on trying to tear open space to find the Great Demon Ancient Tomb. Instead, he decided to wait for Yi Xiaoyao to emerge.

Hearing the words of Ouyang Bing and his men, Luo Yi glared at them, grinding her teeth. If she had any Spiritual Power left, she would have destroyed her own heart meridians to kill herself, preventing Ouyang Bing from using her to threaten Yi Xiaoyao. Unfortunately, her Spiritual Power was completely depleted, making it impossible.

"You scoundrels from the Cloud Transformation Sect! I’ll die before I let you succeed!"

The next moment, her eyes flashing with fury, Luo Yi opened her mouth to bite down on her own tongue.

Ouyang Bing glanced over, raised his hand, and shot out a bolt of Spiritual Power. It struck Luo Yi viciously across the face, interrupting her attempt to bite off her tongue and kill herself.

A trickle of blood escaped the corner of Luo Yi’s mouth, but she hadn’t given up. She tried to bite down again.

SMACK!

Another crisp slap echoed as Ouyang Bing once again interrupted her. He then sneered, "Little beauty, you should know that even if you bite off your tongue, you won’t die."

Xuanwu and the others leered at Luo Yi, snickering perversely. "Just come with us, and we’ll be sure to treat you well."

"You animals from the Cloud Transformation Sect!!!"

A furious roar erupted from Han Xiao, who was hanging from another ancient tree.

Han Xiao originally came from a fairly prominent family. Growing up, his clan had always taught him that the Cloud Transformation Sect was the greatest of the Renowned and Righteous Sects. Because of this, his childhood dream was to one day join them.

But in the year Han Xiao turned fifteen, his entire clan was mysteriously slaughtered overnight by the Cloud Transformation Sect. He was the sole survivor.

From that day on, Han Xiao dedicated himself to Body Refining, becoming a Body Refiner and joining the Seven Kills Star Hall, vowing to avenge his family.

Now, hearing the vile and lewd words of Ouyang Bing and his men, Han Xiao was instantly reminded of the night his clan was exterminated, of the sight of bodies strewn everywhere. A furious rage threatened to erupt from his eyes.

’The world would never know. These so-called Renowned and Righteous Sects... what a band of filthy, despicable degenerates they really were.’

A series of low, bestial growls rumbled in Han Xiao’s throat. If looks could take physical form, his overwhelming fury would have already incinerated Ouyang Bing and his lackeys.

"Hm?" Hearing Han Xiao’s roar, Ouyang Bing and his men tore their gazes away from Luo Yi and turned to face him.

"Did you just call us animals?" Ouyang Bing asked, his eyes narrowing to cold slits.

Han Xiao gritted his teeth, his face a savage mask. "You *are* animals! If I, Han Xiao, make it out of here alive, I swear I’ll one day hunt down and slaughter every last animal in the Cloud Transformation Sect!"

Hearing this, Ouyang Bing burst into laughter. "You’re dreaming. You’re no beauty. I can kill you whenever I please. What makes you think I’d let you live to see tomorrow?"

With that, Ouyang Bing waved a hand at Xuanwu and the others. "This brat is too noisy. Take one of his arms for me!"

Xuanwu immediately complied. He walked up to Han Xiao, and with a flash of his blade, a bloody arm dropped to the ground.

Blood sprayed out in a fine mist. Despite the searing pain, Han Xiao didn’t make a sound. His bloodshot eyes glared furiously at Ouyang Bing and his men.

"Heh, this kid’s a tough one!" the others laughed to Xuanwu. "In that case, take his other arm. I bet he won’t be able to hold it in then."

Xuanwu snickered, raising his blade to strike again.

"Don’t!"

Luo Yi cried out, unable to bear the sight. The hatred in her heart for the people of the Cloud Transformation Sect grew even stronger.

A cruel smile played on Ouyang Bing’s lips. He motioned to Xuanwu and the others, saying, "Since the little beauty has spoken, we’ll spare the brat for now. From this moment on, we’ll cut off one of his limbs every hour."

The eyes of Xuanwu and the others lit up. They clapped their hands in approval. "Senior Brother Ouyang’s ideas are the best! This is brilliant! Even if that Yi Xiaoyao is the world’s biggest coward, he won’t be able to stop himself from walking right into our trap."

Furthermore, to ensure Yi Xiaoyao learned that Luo Yi was in their hands as quickly as possible, Ouyang Bing deliberately had his men spread the news.

...

「Great Demon Ancient Tomb—Palace Entrance」

Yi Xiaoyao and Yun Mengling stood side by side beneath the giant gates of the Ancient Tomb, gazing into the dark space ahead. Vicious spatial winds howled past them.

"Are you really sure you can open this spatial rift we’re in?" Yun Mengling asked, turning her head to look at Yi Xiaoyao.

Yi Xiaoyao smiled, handing the sleeping Little Black Monkey to her. "Miss Yun, you need to protect this little guy. If anything happens to him, we’ll all be in deep trouble."

Yun Mengling took the Little Black Monkey and conjured a white Holy Light Shield, enveloping the creature within it.

"Alright, let’s begin," Yun Mengling said.

Yi Xiaoyao nodded. The Bloodthirsty Sword was already in his grasp. He focused all the power of the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment into the blade and slashed at the space before him!

The immense Sword Qi tore through the spatial winds and split open the space, revealing a brightly lit rift in an instant.

"It worked!" Yun Mengling cried in delight.

In the next instant, the spatial rift vanished in the blink of an eye.

...

"Did you hear? The Great Demon Ancient Tomb is actually inside a spatial rift. No wonder we couldn’t find it after searching for so long."

"I just heard about that too. Apparently, Yi Xiaoyao from the Seven Kills Star Hall got into the Great Demon Ancient Tomb, and now the Cloud Transformation Sect has captured his companions to force him out!"

"I wonder what Secret Treasure Yi Xiaoyao found in the Great Demon Ancient Tomb. Let’s go check it out. We can wait for them to fight until they’re both badly wounded, then we can swoop in and snatch the Secret Treasure off Yi Xiaoyao’s body!"

In the mist, two men and one woman were heading toward Ouyang Bing’s location, discussing how they could profit from the impending conflict.

Just then, a figure appeared before them like a phantom.

The trio was startled at first, but when they saw the figure’s face, their shock instantly turned to glee.

"Yi Xiaoyao!"

"Speak of the devil, and he appears!"

"Haha! The Cloud Transformation Sect couldn’t find him, but we did! The heavens are truly smiling on us!"

"This is perfect! Now we don’t have to fight the Cloud Transformation Sect and make enemies of them. We’ll just kill him right now, and the Secret Treasure he got from the Great Demon Ancient Tomb will be ours!"

As soon as they finished speaking, without a second thought, the three of them drew their various weapons and, brimming with excitement, attacked Yi Xiaoyao in unison.
