Chapter 78

"Wind and Thunder Three Styles!"

After killing Zhong Feifei, this intermediate-level sword technique naturally fell into Ling Dao's hands. The entire Sky Splitting Sword Sect did not have any intermediate-level sword techniques, but now, by a stroke of luck, Ling Dao had obtained one. It had to be said, his luck was indeed quite good.

"Burn them all!"

Zhong Feifei was the biological daughter of the Heavy Sword Sect's leader. If the leader of the Heavy Sword Sect found out that Ling Dao had killed Zhong Feifei, Ling Dao would be in serious trouble. Now, with no one around, to avoid leaving any clues, Ling Dao naturally had to destroy the evidence.

In fact, everything here was seen by the two Shadow Golden Eagles. Fortunately, the Shadow Golden Eagles could not speak; they could only detect Ling Dao's location. The Shadow Golden Eagles were at most at the True Qi Realm level and naturally did not have the ability to speak.

Soon, a fierce fire began to burn. Since this place was desolate, there was no need to worry about any accidents. As long as Zhong Feifei and the other two were gone, even if the Heavy Sword Sect wanted to investigate, it would be extremely difficult, with no trace of their whereabouts.

"The Viper Gang is a cancer. I will now uproot it from its roots!"

Ling Dao did not return immediately but went to the Viper Gang's lair. Without the Viper Gang's leader and the three late-stage True Qi Realm martial artists, the entire Viper Gang could not do anything to Ling Dao. After all, poison had no effect on him.

...

"Who is it? Don't you have eyes? How dare you barge into the Viper Gang?"

As Ling Dao arrived at the Viper Gang, a member of the Viper Gang shouted loudly. The Viper Gang had many members, after all, joining the Viper Gang allowed them to commit all sorts of crimes, so naturally, many people were willing to become members of the Viper Gang.

"Whether you came here by mistake or on purpose, you won't leave intact without handing over some gold and silver. You might lose an arm or a leg!"

Robbery was a common occurrence for the Viper Gang. Kidnapping and raping, being tyrannical, and looting were all part of their daily activities.

"I came here to make the Viper Gang disappear forever!"

Ling Dao did not bother with idle talk and immediately began a massacre. He held a fine steel sword, and wherever he went, bodies soon lay on the ground. The members of the Viper Gang, some of whom were not even at the Physical Body Realm, could not withstand Ling Dao's sword.

"Arrogant! A snot-nosed brat dares to speak such big words?"

"Truly reckless! If I don't chop you up and feed you to the dogs, my anger will not be appeased!"

Soon, True Qi Realm martial artists arrived, but they were only early and mid-stage True Qi Realm martial artists. Even the Viper Gang's leader had died under Ling Dao's sword, let alone these people.

"Release the poison!"

Someone gave a low command, and threads of poison gas began to spread. The reason the Viper Gang had not been eradicated for so long was because of this poison. Even if many peak True Qi Realm martial artists came, once they were poisoned, they would find it difficult to exert their strength.

"Your poison is ineffective against me!"

Ling Dao sneered, and his fine steel sword emitted a menacing aura. With each step forward, he swung his sword. With each swing, a body fell to the ground. No one in the Viper Gang could withstand a single strike from Ling Dao's sword.

"How can this be?"

"He is completely immune to the poison?"

The entire Viper Gang was in chaos. Even the True Qi Realm martial artists could not withstand a single strike from Ling Dao, let alone the others. Under Ling Dao's sword, they all met the same fate: death.

"Brat, don't be so arrogant! When the leader returns, he will surely exterminate your entire clan!"

"The leader is busy today and not here, otherwise, how could you run wild in the Viper Gang?"

None of these Viper Gang members knew that their leader, whom they relied on the most, had already become a casualty under Ling Dao's sword. Hoping that the Viper Gang's leader would kill Ling Dao was simply impossible.

"Truly laughable. Your leader has already been killed by me, and you still hope for revenge from him?"

No one believed Ling Dao's words. First, he was too young, and second, the Viper Gang's leader had established a great deal of authority over the years. However, when Ling Dao brought out the corpse of the Ice Fire Green Spirit Snake, the Viper Gang's higher-ups were stunned.

They naturally recognized the Ice Fire Green Spirit Snake, which was the Viper Gang's greatest reliance. Now that the Ice Fire Green Spirit Snake was dead at Ling Dao's hands, the Viper Gang's leader was probably truly dead. After realizing this, the scene fell into a terrifying silence.

"Your leader is waiting for you in the netherworld. You should join him!"

Ling Dao put away the Ice Fire Green Spirit Snake and began a massacre. His sword had become a tool for reaping lives, and he seemed to have transformed into a god of death. Wherever he went, death followed. This day was destined to be the end of the Viper Gang, and no one could withstand Ling Dao.

After the Viper Gang disappeared, everyone within a hundred miles was extremely happy. Without the Viper Gang, ordinary people could live a normal life. Otherwise, being bullied by the Viper Gang every day, they probably wouldn't survive for long. Ling Dao's actions also earned him great gratitude from the people.

Within a hundred miles, there was a legend. Once, a young swordsman, wielding a single sword, eradicated the entire Viper Gang, bringing peace to the area. Unfortunately, very few people had actually seen Ling Dao, and most only knew of this legend.

...

"It is said that the brat insulted our Black Tortoise Sword Sect disciples last time. This time, we must make him pay!"

"The elder asked us to deal with a newly promoted True Qi Realm kid, which is a bit of an overkill. Any one of us could handle it, so why do we need all four of us to act together?"

Elder Ji Yuanliang had already informed the Black Tortoise Sword Sect and the True Martial Sword Sect, but the four disciples of the Black Tortoise Sword Sect were faster and had already arrived. They did not pursue Ling Dao but waited here for him. If Ling Dao completed his mission, he would definitely return to the Sky Splitting Sword Sect from here.

If Ling Dao did not complete his mission, the result would be that he was already dead. In that case, their mission would be considered complete. The elders wanted Ling Dao dead, and it didn't matter whether he died at their hands or not.

"Stop arguing. Just wait patiently. If the brat doesn't pass through here within a month, it means he is already dead, and we can return to report!"

The one who spoke was their leader, Tie Youjian!
