"Ah! Aaaaa..."
The servant disciple at the rear was splattered with blood all over his face, his eyes stained red.
Staring at the ground littered with corpses, he was utterly petrified, screaming as he staggered backward.
Splurt!
The gleam of a sword flashed, and a blade pierced into his mouth, ending his terror.
Gulp!
Standing nearby, Xue Hen struggled to swallow a mouthful of saliva, his eyes wide open as though witnessing the most unimaginable scene on earth.
Three Transcendence Realm Third Layer martial artists, alongside four Transcendence Realm Fourth Layer martial artists!
Seven in total, combined into such an imnsely powerful force, yet in rely a single exchange, they were slaughtered without offering any resistance!
What kind of strength is this!
Even an ordinary Transcendence Realm Fifth Layer martial artist couldn’t achieve this, right?
Even witnessing it with his own eyes, Xue Hen still found it difficult to believe, feeling as if he was dreaming.
"This... this is impossible! You, a Wasted Martial Soul awakening trash, how could you be this strong?"
Cao Ji stared at Luo Cheng, horrified to the point of despair, unable to accept the reality before him.
Luo Cheng glanced over, speaking calmly:
"Now, can you tell why Cao Qing is looking for ?"
With just this look, Cao Ji’s spine turned icy; where would he dare conceal anything now? He hastily explained:
"I... I don’t know the specifics. I only heard my cousin say soone instructed him and Fang Rui to kill you during the Green Cloud Trial."
"Oh? Two of the top contenders for the championship!"
Luo Cheng’s eyebrows lifted; if it were Elder He, he certainly wouldn’t need to go through such unnecessary steps.
"Seems like many people really want dead!"
Luo Cheng sneered coldly.
The one able to command two top seeds for the championship must hold an extraordinary identity.
Perhaps it’s Outer Elder Qin Douyuan or Core Disciple Jin Min.
"Luo Cheng, I’ve told you everything I know. May I leave now?"
Cao Ji asked cautiously, his eyes fixed nervously on Luo Cheng.
"Leave?"
Luo Cheng shook his head indifferently and said, "As repaynt for what you’ve told , I’ll grant you a swift end."
"You! You’re going to kill !"
Cao Ji’s eyes bulged, his voice trembling as he said, "Luo Cheng, my cousin Cao Qing is one of the top seeds for the championship! If you kill , he will never let you off! No matter how strong you are, you can’t possibly defeat my cousin! You had better think clearly!"
With Cao Qing as his powerful backer, Cao Ji felt no fear, believing that Luo Cheng wouldn’t dare touch him!
"Cao Qing?"
Luo Cheng’s lips curled into a grin; suddenly, he grasped Cao Ji’s throat and lifted him off the ground, smiling as he said:
"I dare even oppose elders; do you think I fear so re Cao Qing? If you want to threaten , you’ve picked the wrong person."
Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!
Cao Ji’s face turned red from the pressure, his blood vessels bulging as his eyes popped out in desperation.
At this mont, fear truly enveloped him.
He hadn’t anticipated Luo Cheng’s audacity to be so trendous—utterly unconcerned about his cousin Cao Qing’s influence. When he tried begging for his life, only strained gasps could escape his mouth.
"Rest assured, in no ti, I’ll reunite you with your brother!"
As his words fell, Luo Cheng’s hand tightened.
Crunch! Cao Ji’s neck twisted, lifeless.
Casting aside Cao Ji’s corpse, Luo Cheng turned his gaze toward Xue Hen nearby.
Xue Hen involuntarily gasped for air.
The man before him, younger than himself, had such decisiveness in slaughter—surpassing anyone he’d ever encountered! His overwhelming strength was hauntingly terrifying!
Drawing a deep breath, Xue Hen clutched his fists respectfully and said:
"Thank you, Senior Brother, for your intervention and salvation."
Luo Cheng waved him off dismissively, saying: "It’s nothing; I just don’t appreciate their ways."
Xue Hen replied, "Even so, if not for Senior Brother’s actions, I’d be dead for sure this ti. Such a great favor, I will forever rember! Regarding Senior Brother’s whereabouts, I promise never to reveal a single word!"
"No."
Luo Cheng shook his head.
"What?"
Xue Hen paused, puzzled.
Luo Cheng smiled and said, "I don’t need you to conceal my whereabouts. On the contrary, I need you to do sothing for ."
Xue Hen hurriedly responded, "What is it? Whatever the task, I will accomplish it!"
Luo Cheng spoke plainly, "It’s nothing dangerous. You go and tell everyone I am right here in this area."
"Tell everyone you’re in this area!"
Xue Hen’s eyes widened, believing he had misheard, "Senior Brother, surely you’re joking! There are countless people outside who want to kill you to secure their promotion to the Outer Sect. If word of your whereabouts spreads, then..."
"I am not joking."
Luo Cheng interrupted him, saying, "If you wish to repay for saving your life, then carry out this task properly. Make sure as many people know as possible!"
Killers shall eventually be killed!
Luo Cheng had already considered this beforehand—instead of searching for Lin Jintai like finding a needle in a haystack, why not let Lin seek him out!
All those desiring his death will not be spared either!
Xue Hen saw Luo Cheng wasn’t joking, and his heart quaked violently.
Once this news spreads, who knows how many will swarm in for Luo Cheng’s head!
This dense forest will inevitably beco a battlefield. Bloodshed and carnage will transform it into a land of hell!
If Luo Cheng hasn’t lost his mind, then he must possess absolute confidence in facing all the pursuit!
Even taking on the top championship contenders directly!
Could a Transcendence Realm Fourth Layer martial artist truly wield such strength?
Xue Hen would rather believe Luo Cheng had gone insane!
Luo Cheng noticed Xue Hen hesitating and frowned slightly: "What’s wrong, can’t do it?"
Xue Hen snapped out of his daze, imdiately responding respectfully: "Senior Brother, I will go right away! I will ensure everyone hears the news!"
"Good, then go!"
Luo Cheng nodded.
"Take care, Senior Brother!"
Xue Hen cast a deep look at Luo Cheng.
He knew that an unprecedented tempest was about to engulf Qingyun Island!
Without another word, Xue Hen turned and darted into the dense forest, disappearing swiftly.
"Haha, I’d like to see just how many people want my life!"
Luo Cheng chuckled coldly, imdiately sitting cross-legged, beginning to devour Martial Souls.
Nine-colored radiance glead as streams of Martial Souls surged into Luo Cheng’s body.
Buzz!
After consuming eight Transcendence Realm martial artists’ Martial Souls in one go, Luo Cheng’s body trembled slightly.
Within his Dantian, the dragon’s energy head began to take clear form, growing more majestic, its dragon eyes deeper and more unfathomable.
"Almost there! The dragon energy should complete its third transformation soon!"
Luo Cheng opened his eyes, joy spreading across his face.
The True Dragon Technique’s Third Level—the dragon energy transforming into a cal’s head—was starting to take shape!
Devouring Martial Souls proves to be the shortcut for cultivating the True Dragon Technique!
In truth, Luo Cheng had also considered this when making Xue Hen spread the word.
Since so many people wanted him dead, why not turn them into stepping stones for his growth!
Greed always cos with a price!
Standing tall, Luo Cheng swung his sword.
Shhh!
A ferocious sword wind shredded countless fallen leaves into pieces!
"I wonder who will be the first to arrive!"
Sheathing his sword, Luo Cheng smirked, then walked to a clean green stone, sat down cross-legged, and began ditative breathing.
Ti slipped by bit by bit as the sunset faded, leaving blood-red glow across the heavens, dyeing the world crimson!
Suddenly!
Luo Cheng’s eyes snapped open, his gaze flashing like lightning!
They’re coming!
