Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Slaughtering the Cloud Transformation Disciples

An icy voice rang out, causing all the Cloud Transformation Sect disciples present to feel a wave of intense Killing Intent. They couldn’t help but shiver.

Only then did they realize that this youth, who seemed as sharp as a sword, wasn’t just passing by. He had come specifically for them.

But in the next instant, they all erupted in laughter.

"You think you can kill all of us by yourself?"

"What an arrogant bastard. He just revealed a Cultivation aura at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, but there are dozens of us. Are we supposed to be afraid of one guy?"

"Exactly. A fifth-level Foundation Establishment Cultivation might be much stronger than ours, but we have Senior Brother Lv with us. This guy is just asking to be killed."

Indeed, Yi Xiaoyao’s fifth-level Foundation Establishment Cultivation was far stronger than that of an average new disciple. In the current situation, however, the group of Cloud Transformation Sect disciples clearly held the advantage.

Yi Xiaoyao had shocked them for a moment when he killed two of their own with a flick of his hand, but that moment had passed.

As the core of the group, Young Man Lv also sneered when he heard Yi Xiaoyao’s words.

Then, his gaze suddenly sharpened. He gave Yi Xiaoyao a long, suspicious look, as if recalling something.

"You’re Yi Xiaoyao!" Young Man Lv exclaimed in surprise.

Yi Xiaoyao glanced back, equally surprised. He didn’t recognize this guy.

"You shouldn’t be surprised. You’re infamous on the Cloud Transformation Sect’s wanted list. You killed our Sect Leader’s disciple and have a sect-wide warrant out for your arrest. The bounty is quite generous, too."

Young Man Lv grinned. "I can’t believe I ran into you. This must be my lucky day."

The others around him chimed in, "Congratulations, Senior Brother Lv! Kill him and you’ll collect the bounty!"

Completely certain that Yi Xiaoyao would die by his hand, Young Man Lv smiled joyfully at the crowd.

Just then, a cold voice cut in.

"You’re about to find out just how unlucky meeting me really is."

The moment the words left his mouth, Yi Xiaoyao drew his Bloodthirsty Sword and charged.

He had no desire to waste words on disciples from an enemy sect.

With a sharp RING, Young Man Lv also drew his sword and bellowed.

"Yi Xiaoyao, since you’ve come here to die, I’ll be happy to oblige!"

The two charged at each other, closing the distance to a few yards in the blink of an eye. Young Man Lv slashed with his sword, aiming straight for Yi Xiaoyao’s head.

But in the next instant, Yi Xiaoyao’s figure flickered. He dodged the slash with incredible agility and reappeared at Young Man Lv’s side like a phantom.

Young Man Lv’s expression changed drastically. Before he could even pull back his sword, he saw his own body spinning. Just as his feet came into view, his head jolted, and his world went black.

The surrounding Cloud Transformation Sect disciples, however, witnessed a different scene entirely.

In that split second, they saw Senior Brother Lv’s head separate from his body, spin through the air, and bounce once as it hit the ground.

The two perspectives were different, but they confirmed the same fact: after just one exchange, Young Man Lv had been decapitated by Yi Xiaoyao.

"H-How is that possible?!"

The new Cloud Transformation Sect disciples let out trembling gasps, their eyes wide and mouths agape, utterly unable to believe what they were seeing.

To these new disciples, Senior Brother Lv had been invincible, a god-like existence.

Throughout their training, Senior Brother Lv had helped them solve countless problems and slain countless powerful foes. He was the one they revered most, the one they all aspired to become.

A simple rule was etched in their hearts: as long as Senior Brother Lv was around, nothing was impossible.

Every single one of these new disciples had sworn to themselves that one day, they would become a master as powerful as Senior Brother Lv.

And yet...

This radiant Senior Brother Lv, the hero in their eyes, had just been slain with a single slash by a youth at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment!

In that single moment, all their aspirations, all their fantasies, all their bright hopes for the future—were ruthlessly annihilated by Yi Xiaoyao’s single slash.

The THUD of Young Man Lv’s headless body hitting the ground yanked them all back to reality.

’I must be dreaming, right?’

Some disciples shook their heads in a daze and pinched themselves hard. The sharp pain forced them to accept the truth.

"Of course you’re not dreaming."

Yi Xiaoyao’s lips parted slightly as he walked slowly toward them, the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand emitting a chilling gleam.

"But I am about to send you into an eternal slumber."

His cold words hung in the air as he charged into the crowd of Cloud Transformation Sect disciples, and countless sword-lights flashed.

’Since the Cloud Transformation Sect has already issued a sect-wide warrant for me, I won’t show these new disciples any mercy. I certainly won’t leave a single one alive.’

’Mercy to an enemy is cruelty to oneself.’ Yi Xiaoyao understood this principle well.

’If I go soft now and let them escape, they’ll definitely report my location when they get back to their sect.’

’Besides, these Cloud Transformation Sect bastards have killed so many new disciples from the Seven Kills Star Hall.’

’As a member of the Seven Kills Star Hall, both for the sect and for myself, I have no reason to show any mercy.’

The new Cloud Transformation Sect disciples finally understood that when Yi Xiaoyao had said he would kill them all himself, he hadn’t been joking.

They wanted to fight back, to scream for help, to get on their knees and beg for their lives.

But against Yi Xiaoyao’s sword, moving at extreme speeds thanks to the Nine Heavens Dragon Soaring Technique, they couldn’t do any of those things.

It was a complete slaughter. Within a few short breaths, dozens of new Cloud Transformation Sect disciples lay dead.

Only Yi Xiaoyao and the three young women captured by the Cloud Transformation Sect disciples remained.

The three young women were new disciples of the Seven Kills Star Hall, so of course, Yi Xiaoyao didn’t harm them.

The three of them were completely stunned by what they had just witnessed. If not for the gags in their mouths, their hearts might have leaped right out of their throats.

Unlike the Cloud Transformation Sect disciples who had looked at him as if he were a demon, the three young women were not afraid of Yi Xiaoyao.

Yi Xiaoyao had appeared and effortlessly slaughtered their many enemies, rescuing them from a terrible fate. He had saved them from becoming slaves, or worse, playthings for those men.

And so, in their hearts, Yi Xiaoyao was like a heroic knight emerging from the darkness, stepping forward in their greatest time of need.

A youth like him had already melted their hearts, making them flutter with affection.

Yi Xiaoyao walked over to the three young women and pulled the gags from their mouths.

"Yun Qian, how did you end up in the hands of the Cloud Transformation Sect?" Yi Xiaoyao asked.

One of the three was indeed Yun Qian, whom Yi Xiaoyao had met before.

Yun Qian blushed when she saw that Yi Xiaoyao not only recognized her but had also spoken to her first.

"Young Master Yi, it’s a long story... Thank you so, so much for saving our lives."

At that, the other two girls felt a pang of jealousy seeing Yun Qian talking to Yi Xiaoyao. They quickly thought of a piece of information they were sure would interest him.

"Oh, right! Young Master Yi, those two people you’re close with are being hunted by another team from the Cloud Transformation Sect!"

Yi Xiaoyao’s expression changed. "People I’m close with?" he asked urgently. "Is one of them a fatty?"

"Yes, yes! That’s them! But several hours have already passed... I don’t know if they’re still alive," the other young woman said. ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
