Cyber Cultivation: When Technology meets Cultivation Chapter 165: Annihilation Mode, Activated Again

Xia Li and Qiu Fu were now being hunted by both humans and demons alike, so naturally both sides had issued all kinds of bounties.For the humans and demons who had co to Manzhou to temper themselves through slaughter and battle, that reward was absolutely a stroke of great fortune.Their identities had also been dug up.After all, what Xia Li had done was indeed a bit excessive.He had directly attacked soldiers of the Demon-Hunting Army.Qiu Fu might not have had any status worth ntioning, and anyone could co step on her, but Xia Li at least had so standing.He was an inner sect disciple of Lingxu Cave Heaven.Lingxu Cave Heaven even issued a statent over the matter.That statent, however, was extrely suggestive.Lingxu Cave Heaven did not condemn Xia Li, nor did it support him.Instead, it asked the Demon-Hunting Army how it was that over the years they had killed far more humans than demons. Were they hunting demons, or slaughtering people?That said, since Xia Li had indeed erred first, Lingxu Cave Heaven would not interfere while he was outside.But if Xia Li returned to the sect, he would still remain under its protection.It was a statent that preserved both sides at once.It maintained the appearance of righteousness while also protecting the sect's dignity.After all, for a sect to protect its own disciples was the very foundation of its existence."Xia Li! I am Huang Han, inner disciple of Nine Sword Mountain! Watch as I cut down you, traitor to the human race!"The first to rush at Xia Li was a Golden Core cultivator wielding a longsword.Sword qi gathered along the blade, sharpness overflowing from it, and his gaze was every bit as keen as the edge in his hand.Sword cultivators were fad for offense.They were often said to be invincible within the sa realm.And at the Golden Core stage, they could form sword-core golden cores and begin displaying the true power of their path.That was also where the profundity of the Golden Core realm lay.From that point onward, all paths beneath heaven began to diverge.The fire path ford fire cores.The water path ford water cores.That was why Golden Core cultivators could first begin to wield divine abilities of their chosen path."Starlight Sword!"Huang Han struck.Sword qi ran once around the blade and was just about to burst from the sword's edge when...Xia Li's mind moved.He directly used telekinesis to twist Huang Han's hand by force.Both of Huang Han's arms snapped at once, and in a grotesquely contorted motion, the sword wheeled around and slashed straight across his own neck.The next instant...Huang Han's head flew up.His body dropped straight toward the earth, disbelief still frozen in his eyes.Why?Why had this happened?To everyone else watching, Huang Han looked as if he had suddenly committed suicide in the most bizarre way imaginable.The humans and demons rushing through the sky all stopped where they were, hovering there and staring at Xia Li.Xia Li himself ca to a sudden halt in midair and simply stood there.When others floated through the air using qi, their bodies always bobbed up and down or swayed from side to side.But Xia Li stood there as steadily as if planted on solid ground.He stood on empty air with absolute stability, not the slightest sway in his figure.Using telekinesis to support his own body was far more flexible and stable than ordinary flight by qi."Are all of you here to kill ?"Xia Li looked down at the gathered geniuses below him.They ca from different origins and cultivated different arts, but anyone who dared co to Manzhou to temper themselves through bloodshed was outstanding among people of the sa age and realm.If they lacked confidence in themselves, how would they dare enter this killing ground?"Xia Li, you sheltered a demon. Commander Wang was willing to let you go because you were human, yet you attacked Commander Wang and his three thousand soldiers. Are you even human?""If not for Commander Wang's righteousness, you'd already be carrying a blood debt!""You deserve to die!"The human geniuses cursed Xia Li in righteous fury.Truthfully, Xia Li had no real way to refute them.What he had done in that matter really had been underhanded.From the very beginning, Wang Xian had shown no intention of dragging him into the affair.Wang Xian had respected him.While the fox clan leader was trying to persuade Xia Li to back down, Wang Xian had even lowered the sword he had raised.It was Xia Li himself who had insisted on stepping into the ga.In terms of hard fact, perhaps he should even thank Wang Xian.If Wang Xian had not rushed to save people and simply allowed those three thousand soldiers to burn to death, Xia Li had no idea how many more enemies he would have made.

The three thousand soldiers might not compare to the prodigies in front of him, but they were still among the better young talents of their respective powers.If they had all been burned to death in one blaze, that would have been no small matter.Wang Xian's righteousness had saved those three thousand soldiers.It had also helped him.The only question was whether Wang Xian would be able to save himself.As for soone like Wang Xian, Xia Li understood perfectly that after returning, the man would gain nothing good from it.The upper ranks of the Demon-Hunting Army probably wished those three thousand soldiers had all died. That would have given them countless excuses to move against him.So Xia Li felt no hatred toward Wang Xian.If anything, he felt guilty.But even if he admitted fault now, would these people forgive him?And how many of them had really co for righteousness in the first place?They just happened to be tempering themselves in Sunscorch Valley, and when they ran into him, they wanted to kill him for the reward."You're only trying to kill for the bounty. So why cover yourselves in righteousness and morality? It seems not only do you want profit, you also can't bear to lose face."Wasn't all this talk just because they wanted both fa and profit?The glorious na of slaying a traitor, and the reward too.The human Demon-Hunting Army had not yet arrived, nor had the demon Human-Subjugation Army, and already people on this stage of fa and profit could no longer restrain themselves.After saying that, Xia Li looked toward the demon prodigies on the other side.So still wore human form.Others had already revealed their true bodies.But most of their attention was fixed on Qiu Fu instead.Demons did not enjoy spouting pompous nonsense, so they were all gathering strength in silence.The battle looked ready to erupt at any mont.anwhile, the news that he and Qiu Fu had appeared in Sunscorch Valley would surely spread rapidly.More and more enemies would soon arrive without end.But that suited Xia Li just fine.He also wanted to use this place to bring recent events to a conclusion.His struggle with the Heaven Alliance ought to move into another stage."Enough talk. Die!""Traitor, accept execution!""Take this sword!"The human geniuses exchanged glances and decided to attack together.At that sa mont, the demons also launched a fierce surprise assault.The humans and demons still standing on the ground and watching also moved, seemingly intending to fish in troubled waters.At that instant, ti seed to slow.Xia Li saw the looks in human eyes.And in demon eyes.It was ridiculous.There was no hatred there at all.Only greed.And his conflict with the Heaven Alliance had begun because of greed as well, the greed of Xuan Dan Sect.But if he killed them, then their friends and family would develop real hatred toward him.That hatred would make them incite others.And that would bring more greed.And more hatred.Perhaps this was the great势 the Heaven Alliance had mastered.If it said you were wrong, then you were wrong.Even if you were not wrong for the mont, the great tide would still turn black into white and white into black.In a situation like this, there was no longer any point in agonizing over good and evil, right and wrong.The only option left was to go against the tide.[Heaven Chip. Overclock.][Initiating Annihilation Mode.]Xia Li gave the order to the Heaven Chip.He had gradually beco accustod to killing and no longer hesitated when the ti ca.But if one was talking about pure efficiency and ruthlessness...then the Heaven Chip was still better at it than he was.Once the humans and demons drew within a certain distance,Xia Li stopped concealing his telekinesis.Centered on himself, he directly unfolded a stasis field.The surrounding space filled with his telekinetic force, making everyone around him feel as though they had instantly fallen into deep water.The invisible pressure crushed against their limbs and bones, sharply limiting their movents.Behind Xia Li, a phantom figure rapidly condensed.Then Xia Li stepped through empty air, strolling casually among the humans and demons as if on a leisurely walk.His true body did not even make a move.Only the phantom behind him did, shaping qi into blades and cutting down every human and demon it passed, as effortlessly as slaughtering chickens.Xia Li made one full circuit through the crowd in the sky.Then he released his telekinesis.The humans and demons who had surrounded him all burst apart into pieces, transforming into a rain of flesh and blood that poured down onto the earth.
