Chapter 1175: Dreams May Be Beautiful, but Reality Is Cruel

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Dreams may be beautiful but reality is cruel. Yi Li was actually at the realm of True Essence Pinnacle Stage. To send her opponent flying just like that, it really made Lan Xinyu so depressed she couldn’t even cry. All she did was just look up at the night sky sadly.

Everyone looked at Lan Xinyu sympathetically. Sigh, it seemed that Lan Xinyu’s luck wasn’t that good.

“Protect Senior Sister! Protect Senior Sister!” Zhou Kaitai finally found an opportunity to support her as he shouted as the junior disciples.

Unfortunately, after Yi Li sent Lan Xinyu flying with a slap, she turned her attention back to Ling Chuxi. It seemed that Zhou Kaitai attempts hit the horse’s leg again.

“To hell with that! If you wanted to protect me, why didn’t you do so earlier?” Lan Xinyu really wanted to throw Zhou Kaitai to the ground and beat him up. When their opponent’s were weak, he was so adamant on protecting his senior sister right from the beginning until Lan Xinyu didn’t even get a chance to take any strikes. But when the opponent was strong like today, he only remembered to protect her after she was sent flying with a slap. How could his timing and decision-making skills be so bad?

Zhou Kaitai looked at Lan Xinyu, feeling wronged. How could he have known that this colourfully-clothed girl before them would be so powerful? He had initially been worried that he might only get in her way if he decided to protect her this time. In the end, he was still a thorn in her side.

Yi Li was already engaged in battle with Ling Chuxi.

Ling Yichen and the others were relieved when they realized how powerful Yi Li was. With Ling Chuxi’s Core of Martial Path and sword power that surpassed wouldn’t pose any real threat to her. Though they didn’t know that Ling Chuxi did not dare to use the Cang Yuan Sword Play so lightly since the mysterious appearance of the assassin, having the Core of Martial Path was sufficient for Ling Chuxi.

Yi Li’s sword was aimed at Ling Chuxi’s throat as the former stabbed at the latter like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue. With the exertion of her True Qi at the realm of True Essence Pinnacle Stage, her sword seemed to come to life. Even Ling Yichen and the others couldn’t find the flaw in it.

Just as the tip of the sword was about to stab into her throat, Ling Chuxi took a half step back. Her movement was light and slight but it allowed her to easily avoid Yi Li’s attack at the critical movement.

A strange feeling started to rise within Yi Li. Ling Chuxi’s movement earlier was small, and her attack had only missed her by a hair’s length. But somehow, the avoidance gap felt as big as a moat sitting between them. No matter how hard she tried to use her True Qi, she could not make a mark on Ling Chuxi.

“Are you from the Blood Beast Sect?” asked Ling Chuxi as she took out her Luo Chen Sword and easily blocked Yi Li’s attack. She had noticed Yi Li’s colorful clothes and remembered that the second elder had once talked about the local customs of the Eastern Tribe of Miao Borders: the women there liked to wear colourful clothes like this.

And the only thing that came to Ling Chuxi’s mind when she thought of the Eastern Tribe of Miao Borders was Blood Beast Sect. And it was most likely that only Blood Beast Sect would have enmity with her because of Chu Fengyun.

“Hmph, you despicable person. You already know the answer and yet you still ask!” Yi Li looked at the bracelet on Ling Chuxi’s wrist and snorted coldly. She attacked again, using her killer moves one after another. It was as if she would either kill or live.

Yi Li was certain that Ling Chuxi was the murderer. Yi Li’s master was someone who had been cultivating for hundreds of years. Even if her master was already towards the end of her life, she still wouldn’t be someone a person could easily kill. But with Ling Chuxi displaying such terrifying strength during their battle, it was possible for her to be the one behind Yi Li’s master’s death.

How could Yi Li have known that her master had actually been killed by Qing Lingyan, all because her master had let her guard down since her attention was fully on the wounded Aunt Yi.
