#41 - Kill Lianxu
The Killing Blade in Qin Buyi's hand quickly faded and disappeared.
The vanished Killing Blade reappeared in his sea of consciousness, with divine thoughts surging into the blade.
Instantly, the blade transformed into a golden color, radiating a domineering and pure killing intent.
“Swoosh!”
The palm-sized, entirely golden Killing Blade appeared before Qin Buyi, and in the next second, it attacked Zhang Yuan.
“Chirp!”
Before Zhang Yuan could react, the Killing Blade had already pierced into his sea of consciousness.
“Boom!”
Upon entering Zhang Yuan's sea of consciousness, the sharp blade of the Killing Blade continuously cleaved at the sea of consciousness.
“Boom!” “Boom!”
“Boom!”...
Loud noises echoed in his ears, and the intense pain within his sea of consciousness caused Zhang Yuan to kneel on the ground, constantly pounding his head.
As the Killing Blade struck its ninth blow, a shattering sound came from within Zhang Yuan's sea of consciousness.
“Crack!”
“Crack!”
The frequency of the shattering sounds grew more and more intense...
“Bang!”
Zhang Yuan's overburdened sea of consciousness exploded.
After the explosion of his sea of consciousness, Zhang Yuan collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, his eyes staring blankly at Qin Buyi.
Qin Buyi recalled the Killing Blade, walked to Zhang Yuan's body, and raised his blade to strike.
“Killing·Slaughter!”
The Killing Blade, vibrating tens of thousands of times per second, cleanly sliced across Zhang Yuan's neck.
“Chirp!”
His head was severed.
Even in death, Zhang Yuan didn't understand why Qin Buyi's cultivation had improved so much in such a short period.
Even the injuries that he had originally estimated would take a month to heal had recovered so quickly.
Taking all of their spatial rings, Qin Buyi smashed through the window and left the headquarters of the Cultivator Association.
After Qin Buyi left, the entire headquarters of the Cultivator Association descended into chaos.
And the news of Qin Buyi's killing of a direct descendant of the Wu family and the early-stage Void Refinement cultivator Zhang Yuan spread rapidly.
S City.
Lan Tianhe was sitting in the S City branch of the Cultivator Association, leisurely drinking tea.
Suddenly, a subordinate rushed in from outside in a panic, handing Lan Tianhe a piece of intelligence.
Lan Tianhe took the intelligence, first furrowed his brow slightly, then laughed heartily:
“Haha, I knew I didn't misjudge him.”
“With Qin Buyi's actions, the Wu family's surface power in the secular world is basically exhausted. I just didn't expect his cultivation to improve so quickly.”
“The Kyoto Cultivator Association headquarters is now vacant. I have to think of a way to see if I can arrange for my Lan family to be stationed there. This is a rare opportunity.”
Kyoto.
Yinyue looked at the urgently delivered intelligence and was somewhat stunned after reading it.
“That person actually killed Zhang Yuan, it's unbelievable,” Yinyue said in shock.
At the same time, Lan Wenhao also received the intelligence.
Lan Wenhao laughed heartily for a while, his tone rather relieved:
“Let your Kunlun Secret Realm be so arrogant all the time; this time, you've met a tough opponent.”
“The Penglai Secret Realm is about to open, Wu Hou is seriously injured and doesn't know where he's fled to, and Zhang Yuan has been killed.”
“If the Kunlun Secret Realm finds out about this, I estimate their noses will be crooked with anger.”
Kunlun Secret Realm.
Zhang Feng, one of the three Perfected Void Refinement cultivators, was playing chess with Wu Qiankun, the old ancestor of the Wu family.
Suddenly, Zhang Feng felt a burst of panic in his heart, and the hand holding the chess piece paused in mid-air.
Wu Qiankun, who was sitting opposite Zhang Feng, noticed his abnormality and asked, “Brother Zhang, what's wrong?”
“Bang!”
The chess piece on Zhang Feng's finger instantly shattered, and the powder fell along Zhang Feng's fingers.
Just now, Zhang Feng sensed in his divine sense that his own grandson, Zhang Yuan's, life lamp had been extinguished.
This meant that Zhang Yuan had died.
While Wu Qiankun was looking at Zhang Feng in confusion, a Wu family disciple walked in from outside and handed Wu Qiankun a jade talisman.
After probing the jade talisman with his divine sense, Wu Qiankun instantly understood why Zhang Feng was so distraught.
Then, after reading the jade talisman, he saw the news that Wu Hou's divine sense was seriously injured and he had fled, and his whereabouts were still unknown.
A strong killing intent emanated from Wu Qiankun, and he said in a chilling voice, “Daring to severely injure my son, Qin Buyi, you deserve to die!”
“Qin Buyi, if I catch you, I will refine you into an oil lamp and let you die in pain!” Zhang Feng said with hatred in his eyes.
Losing his son in middle age, he only had Zhang Yuan as a grandson, and Zhang Feng had devoted all his energy to nurturing him.
But he never expected that he would be killed just a few days after leaving the Kunlun Secret Realm. How could he not be angry?
Wu Qiankun and Zhang Feng exchanged glances, then stood up at the same time and left the Kunlun Secret Realm.
While flying, Qin Buyi discarded all the spatial rings he had obtained into the system store for recycling.
[Ding! The system store is calculating the value of the items...]
[Ding! Calculation complete, total value: one hundred store points.]
“So little?” Qin Buyi asked in surprise.
It's no wonder Qin Buyi asked this question. He had looted the Kunlun Sect twice, and each time he had gained a lot.
This time, he killed an early-stage Void Refinement cultivator, plus the Wu family's direct descendant, but only got one hundred store points.
“System, are you secretly pocketing my points?” Qin Buyi asked suspiciously.
[Please do not slander the fair, kind, and just system. There will be lightning if you do it again.] The system replied righteously.
“Fair, kind, and just, which of these three words do you think applies to you?” Qin Buyi couldn't help but retort.
Just as Qin Buyi finished speaking.
A purple lightning bolt slowly gathered above Qin Buyi's head.
“Don't, I take back what I just said. You are the fairest, kindest, and most just system,” Qin Buyi immediately changed his tune.
The purple lightning above his head slowly dissipated.
Qin Buyi exhaled a breath. It wouldn't be pleasant to be struck by this thing.
“System, when are you going to change your habit of acting before talking?” Qin Buyi said.
[I'll change it when you're stronger than me.] The system replied indifferently.
The system's words left Qin Buyi speechless.
Qin Buyi constantly searched within the system store and quickly found the item he wanted.
[Fourth-Order Heavenly Tracking (One-Time Item): Possesses powerful tracking abilities and can easily find the target's hiding place. Value: One hundred store points.]
After thinking about it briefly, Qin Buyi decided not to increase his cultivation for now.
One hundred store points is just ten attribute points. Although using it to break through his cultivation would greatly increase his strength.
But if he used these one hundred points to buy Heavenly Tracking, finding Wu Hou and killing Wu Hou would definitely yield far more than these one hundred store points.
He decisively exchanged for Heavenly Tracking. The appearance of Heavenly Tracking was that of a compass, with a red pointer in the center of the compass.
After carefully reading the instructions for using Heavenly Tracking, Qin Buyi took out Heavenly Tracking and silently thought about Wu Hou's appearance and aura.
The pointer in the center of the compass spun rapidly. After about ten seconds, the pointer stopped spinning and pointed east.
Qin Buyi flew in the direction indicated by the pointer.
Half an hour later.
In front of an unknown mountain range, Qin Buyi descended from the sky and looked at Wu Hou, who was sitting cross-legged by a pool, recuperating from his injuries.
Sensing Qin Buyi's aura, Wu Hou instantly opened his eyes, unable to believe it as he said, “How did you find this place!”
