Chapter 5

On the first day of the tenth month, at the second watch of the night, half the sky was dark, and the other half was ablaze with fire.

The place that caught fire was Blackwind Pass.

Then, cries of killing arose, flames were everywhere, and the clash of swords and the flash of blades could be seen everywhere, but in a short while, the sounds gradually faded away.

Looking around, bodies were scattered everywhere; some were the guards of Lord Xinling, and others were the black-clad assassins. The battle was fierce.

The battle was not over. Under the cover of three guards, Lord Xinling was surrounded by nine assassins, and both sides were in a stalemate.

However, looking at Lord Xinling, there was no trace of fear on his face. Instead, he looked at the many assassins surrounding him with a relaxed expression, as if it were just a game.

At Lord Xinling's feet lay a body, which turned out to be the famous Iron Token assassin, the Wanderer, who was known for his silence and carefree nature. Now, his head was separated from his body, his head crushed under Lord Xinling's foot, his face frozen in disbelief.

Lord Xinling looked at them and said arrogantly, "You mortals, you want to kill me? You're dreaming!

My father is a celestial being, and he has bestowed upon me a divine talisman. With just you, you want to kill me? You truly have no sense of life and death!"

Seeing the arrogant Lord Xinling, the remaining seven Shadow Killers, including Mighty Dragon and Little Green, all frowned. Just now, the Wanderer's thirteen strikes were all deadly, but they could not even scratch Lord Xinling.

The Wanderer, who had been hiding in the shadows, suddenly burst out, rushing to assassinate Lord Xinling. In an instant, he struck thirteen times, but Lord Xinling was enveloped in a golden light, completely unharmed. With a single light strike, the Wanderer was decapitated.

Originally, according to the plan, Luo Li was to kill Lord Xinling, but for the reward of the Ascension Conference, the Wanderer acted first, trying to claim the credit. Everyone had their own calculations; no one wanted to miss the opportunity of the Ascension Conference. If they could not enter the outer gate of the Seven Kill Sect, they would only have a few years left to live. In the end, they not only failed to claim the credit but also lost their lives.

Mighty Dragon looked at Lord Xinling and said, "This is really bizarre. He's impervious to blades and bullets. Even my Mighty Dragon Transformation couldn't hurt him. What kind of treasure is this? What should we do?"

Little Green said, "Call the senior brother. It was originally his job to kill him. Now it's his turn to step in."

Mighty Dragon nodded and said, "Yes, yes. If he can't kill him either, we'll save ourselves a lot of trouble!"

Then Mighty Dragon raised his head and roared, a dragon-like cry that shook the heavens and the earth!

Following his roar, the sound of hooves came from the distance. Luo Li arrived, as always, appearing at the last moment to kill the strong enemy.

The sound of hooves quickly approached, and a young man in white leaped off his horse, walking towards the surrounded Lord Xinling.

Step by step, his presence was like a mountain. Step by step, he was like a deep, towering peak. From a distance, he exuded a terrifying will, as if he were one with heaven, carrying out the will of heaven!

For the first time, Lord Xinling showed a serious expression. He looked at the approaching Luo Li, and one of his guards trembled and shouted, "Heaven's Will Killer!"

Upon hearing this, the three guards could not help but tremble, their weapons almost slipping from their hands. One of them roared, "My lord, run! We'll hold him off! Run, he's the Heaven's Will Killer!"

But Lord Xinling did not flee. He said, "Heaven's Will Killer? The great killer who carries out the will of heaven?

I spit on that. He's just a kid, not even fully grown. My father is a celestial being, and he has given me a divine talisman that makes me impervious to blades and bullets, immune to water and fire. Even if he were the heavens, he couldn't do anything to me!"

At this moment, Luo Li was about ten feet away from Lord Xinling and his three guards. The guard who had shouted for Lord Xinling to run roared and swung his steel saber, rushing towards Luo Li with a single strike!

The saber flashed like lightning, ferocious and powerful, but Luo Li's long sword moved, using the Poison Sword Technique, a sinister and bizarre strike.

Instantly, he deflected the saber and, with a single stroke, the guard let out a惨叫, was hit by the sword, and fell to the ground, but he did not die; he was only knocked unconscious.

This was the Heaven's Will Killer, who only punished the chief villain and never killed more than necessary. In thirty-one assassinations, it was always like this.

The remaining two guards exchanged glances and also roared as they charged forward, but Luo Li knew that they were just pretending. As soon as his sword light reached them, they dropped their weapons and fell to the ground.

This way, they completed their duty as guards and saved their lives. Who wants to die if they don't have to?

In a moment, only Luo Li and Lord Xinling were left facing each other. Lord Xinling's gaze was cold, and he said, "Heaven's Will Killer, if you dare to kill me, my father is a celestial being, a celestial being of the Central Heaven World. If you kill me, he will kill your entire family!"

Luo Li's expression was serious, and he said, "Lord Xinling, Long Tianxing, in the third year of Zongzhen, you abducted the civilian woman Lu. When she refused, you threw her three-year-old child to the ground in front of her, causing her to bite her tongue and commit suicide. Not only did you desecrate her corpse, but you also killed all thirteen members of her family.

In the fourth year of Zongzhen, the Marquis of Wuan impeached you for your crimes. You framed him, accusing him of treason, which led to the execution of all 167 members of his family, including the Marquis, who was strangled to death by you, and his four daughters, who were raped and killed.

In the sixth year of Zongzhen, one of your servants broke a cup, and you had him hung and tortured for seven days and seven nights before he died. Afterward, you secretly cut out his heart and liver to eat with wine, becoming addicted. Every month, you would kill a young boy, cutting out his heart and liver to eat with wine. To this day, at least forty-three young boys have died because of you."

As Luo Li accused him, a strange power seemed to descend from the heavens and infuse into his body, but no one noticed!

One by one, the evil deeds Lord Xinling had committed over the years were revealed, some of which were so heinous that they defied the heavens.

"Lord Xinling Long Tianxing, are these accusations true? Do you have any defense?"

Lord Xinling listened with a smile. When Luo Li finished, he nodded and said, "Most of it is true. Some I've forgotten, thank you for reminding me. But I want to tell you, I am different from you.

You are all mortals, but my father is a celestial being. You are mere mortal ants, and our lives are different. You are lowly, and being killed by me is an honor for you!"

Luo Li nodded and said, "Heaven above! Earth below! The evidence is clear, and the punishment for evil is due!"

With that, Luo Li slowly drew his sword and struck. The Fast Sword Technique. Lord Xinling remained motionless, smiling at Luo Li. A golden light appeared around him, protecting him.

This golden light had deflected the Wanderer's thirteen strikes, leaving him unharmed.

Luo Li's sword struck, and the golden light appeared again, blocking his strike. Lord Xinling laughed and said, "Heaven's Will Killer, is that all you've got? Look at my celestial protection, impervious to blades and bullets!"

Luo Li struck several more times, using both the Fast Sword Technique and the Powerful Sword Technique. Even a three-hundred-pound boulder could be easily cut, but on Lord Xinling, it only caused the golden light to flash, leaving him unharmed!

Luo Li nodded and thought, "Indeed, the Seven Kill Eighteen Techniques are just mortal sword techniques and cannot penetrate a cultivator's defenses. Fortunately, I have more than just the Seven Kill Eighteen Techniques!"

His mind raced, and his eyes flashed with divine light. He shouted in his heart, "Divine Ability: Reward Good and Punish Evil! Activate!"

"Kill!"

With a thought, a strange energy was released from Luo Li's body, merging with the heavens and the earth. Attracted by this, a powerful force from the sky began to take effect!

Luo Li struck again. This strike looked no different from the previous ones, but it carried an indescribable flavor, a stroke that defied words.

"Pop"~

Like a bubble bursting, this strike instantly pierced through the golden light, through Lord Xinling's body, and emerged from his back.

—Through the front and out the back, a chilling sensation.

"Ugh~"

Lord Xinling's mouth bubbled with blood, but he seemed unaware, only looking down at the sword that had pierced his body, then up at Luo Li, his face filled with confusion.

His eyes widened in disbelief, staring at the blade that had pierced his body. After a long moment, he finally reacted, remembering the last moments of those he had tortured, and he cried out in fear and pleading:

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm sorry, my father is a celestial being, I'll give you anything, don't kill me!"

Luo Li said softly, "Your father is a celestial being? He's just a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Black Dragon Town Sea Sect, Long Wending! This is celestial protection? It's just a small Golden Buddha Talisman, and you dare to call yourself a celestial being? Go and repent to those you have harmed, and die!"

With a single strike, he shattered Lord Xinling's heart. A muffled sound, and Lord Xinling flew up, his entire chest completely shattered, revealing a hole the size of a human head.

Lord Xinling, dead!

After killing Lord Xinling, Luo Li sheathed his sword and shouted, "Heaven above! Earth below! The evil has been punished, and justice has been served!"

The strange power from the heavens and the earth dissipated, just as it had come, unnoticed by anyone—except Luo Li.

The battle was over. Seven Shadow Killers remained, the other twenty-three having all died. Of the four Iron Token assassins, one was dead. Luo Li walked to the Wanderer to collect his body.

The others were cleaning up the battlefield. Mighty Dragon roared, gathering the remaining seven Shadow Killers around him and began to lecture them.

Little Green walked to Luo Li, clinging to his arm like a gentle bird, and said softly, "Senior Brother, you were amazing, that strike was so cool. But how could you pierce his golden light defense? What was that, how could it be impervious to blades and bullets?"

Luo Li smiled and said, "Evil cannot overcome righteousness, and heaven punishes! That's why his evil technique was broken."

Suddenly, Mighty Dragon's hands formed bloody claws, three feet long, the manifestation of his Divine Ability, the Fierce Dragon Transformation. He grabbed down, and the seven Shadow Killers did not even have time to scream before they were all killed.

Little Green let out a gasp of surprise, pulling on Luo Li's arm in fear, shouting, "Senior Brother, look, Mighty Dragon has gone mad!"

As Luo Li looked over, Little Green's other hand suddenly rose, forming a snake-like gesture, her middle finger pitch black, and she aimed it at the center of Luo Li's neck.

The Thousand Snake Poison, one of the Seven Kill Eighteen Techniques' poison skills!

If this strike hit, no matter how powerful one was, they would be instantly poisoned to death!

But Little Green never expected that when her finger pierced through, it did not feel like piercing through a human body but rather a soft, squishy object. Looking closer, she saw a bun on her snake hand, the large meat bun they had all eaten that morning.

Luo Li sighed and said slowly, "Junior Sister, just as you are familiar with me, I am also familiar with you. The moment you had a change of heart, I sensed it!"
