Chapter 1373: Chapter 1372: Emerging from Seclusion

"Little Butterfly, hurry up and leave!"

Uncle Fang gritted his teeth and had no choice but to stand in front of Little Butterfly, urging her to leave quickly.

"Get out of the way, you old man!"

Seeing Uncle Fang blocking the way, the four Ghost Warriors suddenly showed a grim expression, with chilling intent surging. Without hesitation, they launched a massive offensive towards Uncle Fang.

With Uncle Fang’s strength, he could handle one Ghost Warrior, but facing four at once, he was absolutely no match. He was instantly knocked flying, spitting blood.

At the moment Uncle Fang was knocked away, one of the Ghost Warriors suddenly stomped, closing in on Little Butterfly with a wicked smile on his face.

With a serious expression, Little Butterfly recalled the scenes of Ling Chen teaching her to train in her mind. Her beautiful eyes gleamed with intensity as she clenched the sword tightly in her hands.

During this time, Ling Chen taught her not only cultivation techniques and swordsmanship, but also gave her some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Now, even though she was only at the Grandmaster level, her swordsmanship was beyond ordinary people’s comparison.

At the instant the Ghost Warrior reached Little Butterfly, with a wide opening, Little Butterfly made her move. Her sword strike seemed quite simple, much like a child swinging a sword at someone, with no difference.

The Ghost Warrior didn’t take Little Butterfly’s attack seriously. His hand still reached for Little Butterfly’s collar, intending to tear her clothes.

Just then, Little Butterfly’s sword moved.

Accompanied by the sound of "chichi," the sword in Little Butterfly’s hand thrust forward, the blade filled with electric currents, greatly enhancing its speed.

Splutter!

Electric light flashed, followed by piercing sword light.

Boom!

With a look of disbelief, the Ghost Warrior’s chest had a massive bloody hole, a vital point was completely pierced, and his body crashed heavily to the ground.

"This..."

Uncle Fang was shocked.

Longyuan True Immortal was also stunned.

Previously, Little Butterfly’s cultivation was so weak it was almost negligible, but now, after just learning with Ling Chen for more than ten days, she became so strong that she killed a Ghost Warrior at the Sky Apex Realm level.

This was too incredible.

"Huh?"

Liusheng Bushou’s pupils suddenly contracted. He was slightly surprised in his heart. That strike’s timing was very ingenious, and the level of swordsmanship was extremely high, definitely coming from a top swordsman, not something a novice could perform.

"Indeed Ling Chen’s disciple."

Liusheng Bushou’s eyes lit up. Initially, he didn’t believe Ling Chen would accept such a weak disciple, but now he believed it.

"What?"

With one slain, the remaining three Ghost Warriors were astonished. They never thought a little girl in front of them would kill one of their own. But after the shock, their expressions quickly turned to anger. Being killed by a little girl at the Grandmaster level was simply disgraceful for them as Ghost Warriors.

"Rip her apart!"

The intention to toy with her vanished, replaced by a cruel expression on the faces of the remaining three Ghost Warriors. Their samurai swords nearly simultaneously swung out, attacking Little Butterfly from different directions.

Against just one Ghost Warrior, Little Butterfly could cope, but with three attacking together at full strength, she quickly fell into a disadvantage, facing imminent danger.

"The swordsmanship is very good, but unfortunately, the strength is too weak."

Liusheng Bushou shook his head.

With this level of strength, she didn’t even qualify to make him act.

Boom!

Just as Liusheng Bushou finished speaking, Little Butterfly was slashed by one Ghost Warrior, a large gash opened, sending her flying and spurting blood.

As her delicate body flew back, two sword lights simultaneously slashed towards her head, intending to take her life.

"Brother Ling Chen, Uncle, see you in the next life."

Tears welled up in Little Butterfly’s eyes, and she closed them.

Just then—

Zoom!

The depths of Fish Dragon Sect suddenly shook violently, and a sword light shot from the distant sky. In astonished gazes, it descended precisely, landing right before Little Butterfly!

Boom!

The sword light penetrated the ground, unleashing an intense wave of sword energy that enveloped an area twenty meters around, annihilating it into a void. As the sword wave spread, it instantly enveloped the three Ghost Warriors approaching Little Butterfly.

Without even a scream, the bodies of the three Ghost Warriors turned to ash, leaving not even a speck of bone.

The entire twenty-meter radius became an elliptical pit, barren and desolate.

As the sword light faded, what emerged was a long sword, deeply embedded in the ground, ringing continuously.

Witnessing this, Liusheng Bushou’s pupils contracted sharply. The group of Ghost Warriors behind him turned pale, trembling. The formidable power of this single sword had evaporated three living men; the destruction was simply too terrifying!

"Finally made a move."

Liusheng Bushou’s eyes brightened. His gaze shifted abruptly to a tower top nearby, where a thin young figure stood prominently.

Sword King Ling Chen!

Whoosh!

From the top of the tower, the figure leapt down. Ling Chen landed on the Fish Dragon Sect’s grounds, his palm waved, and the Red Sky Sword returned to Ling Chen’s hand. "Are you Ling Chen?"

Liusheng Bushou’s face showed a trace of excitement, as if seeing a long-awaited prey, becoming fervent.

However, Ling Chen ignored him, walking straight to Little Butterfly’s side, extending his palm to her, "Are you alright?"

"I’m fine."

A smile appeared on Little Butterfly’s face. She thought she was going to die, but unexpectedly, at the last moment, Ling Chen appeared, pulling her back from the Gate of Hell.

Ling Chen gently tapped Little Butterfly’s forehead, "You little girl, only learned this bit of amateur swordsmanship, yet you use it to fight people, a bit too reckless."

"But if I didn’t stand up, hundreds or even thousands might die."

Little Butterfly shook her head. "If my life could save so many others, then it’s worth it."

"Kind-hearted girl."

Ling Chen shook his head similarly. Little Butterfly’s kindness, in this world, would only lead to losses with no benefit to herself. However, perhaps it’s exactly this kind-heartedness that resulted in her rescue.

This is the so-called cycle of cause and effect.

"Ling Chen! My young master is talking to you?!"

Seeing Ling Chen chatting with Little Butterfly as if no one else was around, Liusheng Bushou’s face suddenly darkened. This guy completely ignored him, excessively arrogant.
