Chapter 72

"Truly worthy of being a young miss, you are much more powerful than I am, even though we are both at the mid-stage of the True Qi Realm!"

As a maid, Chunlan could only stand not far away and watch. Zhong Feifei and the three late-stage True Qi Realm martial artists had been fighting for a long time, and Zhong Feifei's advantage was growing. The swords in the hands of the three late-stage True Qi Realm martial artists had already become broken, and they could not fully utilize their strength.

Fine steel swords and low-grade sword artifacts simply could not be compared. This was why Elder Yan Rui had dealt with Ling Dao for a low-grade sword artifact. If he could obtain a low-grade sword artifact, his strength would definitely increase significantly.

"Just the three of you want to deal with me?"

Zhong Feifei gave a cold laugh and slashed with her large sword with even greater force. However, just as she was most proud, she felt a sudden weakness in her body. Her pupils contracted sharply; she was clearly poisoned.

"Hmph, you just rely on the sharpness of a low-grade sword artifact. Without it, you are nothing!"

"Now that you are poisoned, you can no longer control your true qi. Soon, you will be extremely weak, and then you will be at our mercy."

"Don't think that strength represents everything. Soon, you won't even be as good as an ordinary person, let alone fight us!"

The three late-stage True Qi Realm martial artists slowly approached Zhong Feifei. They did not move too quickly because the poison needed time to take effect. As time passed, Zhong Feifei would become weaker and weaker.

"Miss!"

Seeing Zhong Feifei's body sway, Chunlan immediately rushed to her side. Unfortunately, Chunlan, standing not far away, had also been poisoned. Zhong Feifei and Chunlan had forgotten this point; their opponents not only knew how to use swords but also how to use poison.

"Chunlan, are you afraid of death?"

Zhong Feifei glanced at Chunlan and asked lightly. In fact, she still had her final trump card, but it had to be used unexpectedly. She was confident she could kill one late-stage True Qi Realm martial artist, but if the other two were on guard, it would be troublesome.

In their current state, as long as any one of the late-stage True Qi Realm martial artists survived, they could kill them. Zhong Feifei's plan was simple: to have Chunlan fight to the death to give her a chance. Doing this, Chunlan would definitely die, but Zhong Feifei might succeed.

"To die for Miss, I am willing!"

Chunlan's face was full of determination, and she was ready to sacrifice herself. She was just a maid; sacrificing herself for Miss's safety was her duty. Chunlan nodded, and Zhong Feifei felt relieved.

"I will fight to the death with you!"

Chunlan gritted her teeth, grabbed the large sword, and charged towards the three late-stage True Qi Realm martial artists. She could not even use one-tenth of her strength; charging now was a death sentence, but she had no choice.

"Looking for death! You're not even pretty, so it's not a pity to kill you!"

Compared to Zhong Feifei, Chunlan's appearance was too ordinary, and the three late-stage True Qi Realm martial artists would not hesitate to kill her. Just as Zhong Feifei was about to use her trump card, a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

She saw Ling Dao stand up and make a gesture for her to be quiet. She was facing Ling Dao, and the three late-stage True Qi Realm martial artists were facing her, with Ling Dao right behind them. They all thought Ling Dao was doomed, but now he was standing up unharmed.

The poison of the Icefire Green Spirit Snake was nothing to Ling Dao. After the Savage Extermination Technique neutralized the poison, Ling Dao grabbed the Icefire Green Spirit Snake. He did not hesitate, directly killed it, and threw it into the Spatial Ring. The Icefire Green Spirit Snake relied on its poison; it had no real offensive power.

"Eight Steps of Chasing Stars!"

"Thunderbolt Shadow Sword!"

Just as the three late-stage True Qi Realm martial artists were about to kill Chunlan, Ling Dao rushed over from a distance. The Sunlight Sword turned into a silver lightning bolt, piercing through the back of one late-stage True Qi Realm martial artist and through his body. With just one strike, he killed a late-stage True Qi Realm martial artist.

"Not good!"

The other two late-stage True Qi Realm martial artists saw what happened and their faces changed instantly. The powerful leader of the Poison Snake Gang, who was stronger than them, had died at Ling Dao's hands, so they were probably no match for him either.

Unfortunately, Ling Dao did not give them any time. The Sunlight Sword turned into a bolt of lightning and attacked another late-stage True Qi Realm martial artist. This strike was faster and more powerful. Even if the late-stage True Qi Realm martial artist tried his best to defend, his sword broke into two pieces instantly.

Ling Dao pressed his advantage, and the Sunlight Sword slashed horizontally. With his speed of Chasing Stars, the late-stage True Qi Realm martial artist could not escape. He died even more tragically than the previous one, as his body was cut in half at the waist.

"Run!"

The last late-stage True Qi Realm martial artist had only one thought in his mind. Even though Ling Dao was only at the early stage of the True Qi Realm, he had no intention of fighting him. The combat power Ling Dao displayed was enough to terrify him, and he could not match it.

"Can you run?"

Leaving a series of afterimages on the ground, Ling Dao caught up in just a moment. He leaped into the air, raised the Sunlight Sword with both hands, and then slashed down with great force. The late-stage True Qi Realm martial artist in front of him did not even have time to react before being split in two by Ling Dao's sword.

In just a short time, the three late-stage True Qi Realm martial artists were all dead on the scene. If it had been the previous Ling Dao, he could not have done this, but now he was different.

The poison of the Icefire Green Spirit Snake had helped Ling Dao open his Ren and Du meridians, perhaps turning a disaster into a blessing. Now, Ling Dao's true qi could circulate in a small cycle, and he was already at the mid-stage of the True Qi Realm.

At the early stage of the True Qi Realm, he could kill the peak True Qi Realm leader of the Poison Snake Gang. At that time, he took advantage of the leader's carelessness. If they fought again now, even if the leader was cautious, he would definitely not be a match for Ling Dao.

"Are you both okay?"

Chunlan stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say. She had been prepared to sacrifice herself, but Ling Dao had killed all three late-stage True Qi Realm martial artists. The young man she had once looked down upon now seemed mysterious and unfathomable.

"We are fine, but we are grateful for Young Master Ling's rescue!"

Zhong Feifei's face turned pale, and she fell to the ground. Ling Dao, quick to react, instantly caught her slender waist, preventing her from falling. Ling Dao acted out of kindness, but unfortunately, he fell into Zhong Feifei's trap.

At that moment, a cold light flashed in Zhong Feifei's eyes. Now was the time to kill Ling Dao!
