Chapter 6

"WHAT?!"

Xiaoqing was greatly shocked, leaping backward like a snake, quickly putting some distance between herself and Luoli. She and Menglong formed a pincer, vigilantly watching Luoli.

As Xiaoqing leaped, the three guards who had been knocked down by Luoli all let out agonized screams and died on the spot. Regardless of whether they succeeded or failed, this time there could be no survivors. So Xiaoqing began to eliminate witnesses. Otherwise, if the plan was exposed, the Heaven's Absolute Assassination Hall would severely punish them for internal strife, and they would be executed with three cuts and six holes.

Luoli looked at Xiaoqing, his eyes revealing an indescribable feeling. He slowly said:

"Junior Sister, we grew up together, became Shadow Killers together. I remember I saved you at least three times. Tell me why, why do you have to kill me?

Tell me!"

Luoli's tone was so casual, as if it carried no emotion, but the hidden questioning and anger within could only be felt by Xiaoqing, who knew him well.

She couldn't help but take another step back, averting her gaze, unable to face Luoli's eyes.

At this moment, Menglong shouted:

"Senior Brother Luoli, Heaven's Way Assassination? Ha! I've wanted to spit on you for a long time! We are killers, we do all kinds of evil, we kill women and children, our hearts are black, but you do good deeds every day, act as a good person, and enforce the will of heaven. Ha!

Your heart is white, you are a good person, you are different from us. Since we have different paths, we cannot work together, so Xiaoqing chose me!

Most importantly, you don't even have a supernatural power. Without a supernatural power, you're a toothless tiger, not worth mentioning! So, you must die!"

When Luoli heard these words, a strange expression appeared on his face, and he said:

"Are black and white really so clearly defined? Is a supernatural power really that important?

Don't forget, I am also a killer. How can our paths be different?"

Xiaoqing shook her head and said:

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother Luoli, you are too kind. You shouldn't be a killer. In this world, good people don't get good rewards!

If you don't die, and I pass the Ascension Conference with you to enter the Seven Kill Sect's outer sect, with your kind nature, how long could you survive in the sect?

But Menglong is different. He is like me, we both have supernatural powers. In the sect, we can support each other and survive together. Being with him is definitely better than being with you. To survive, I chose him!

Senior Brother, I know you were good to me when we were young, you treated me like a sister, and you saved me many times, but one must look forward, let the past be the past. To survive, I had to do this!

Who made me practice the Thousand Snake Poison, who made my supernatural power be snake training? I am a snake, ingratitude is my nature!"

Menglong shouted: "Ha, that's right, Senior Brother Luoli, Heaven's Way Assassination, you like doing good deeds so much, do more good deeds, let us kill you, fulfill us! That's also a good deed!"

Then he said maliciously: "Even if you don't fulfill us, we're not afraid. We know everything about you, your newly mastered fierce sword technique, the auxiliary secret techniques you control, everything, we are very familiar with.

Including your thirteen hidden identities, the most important hidden identity, the one who replaces you outside, Little Seven, and your little maid, we know everything.

I really don't understand, why did you hide in the Lu family's collateral line with your real name? Are you a native of the Silver State Continent? Are you really a member of the Lu family? But you are clearly from outside the Silver State Continent?

Ha, it doesn't matter, you are dead for sure!"

Luoli listened, and when the other party mentioned the Lu family, a cold light appeared in his eyes, a sign of killing intent.

Xiaoqing, who knew Luoli very well, felt a chill in her heart and said: "Menglong, stop talking nonsense, send Senior Brother Luoli on his way!"

In her hand, twelve venomous snakes flew out, each about thirteen feet long, shiny and bright like silver whips. These were highly venomous snakes, specially trained with secret techniques, one bite and you die. This was the Seven Kill Sect's Whip Technique, Xiaoqing integrated her supernatural power into martial arts, using snakes as whips, this was her ultimate move.

On the other side, Menglong let out a low roar, his body rapidly expanding, growing to twice its original size, transforming into a beast. On his hands, three-foot-long bloody claws appeared, indestructible, this was his supernatural power, the Fierce Dragon Transformation.

The Silver State Continent had no spiritual energy, it was a land without spirits, but the earth contained strange blood energy, and there were special blood minerals used for forging weapons.

Because of this blood energy, many people born on the continent had strange supernatural powers. Xiaoqing's snake training and Menglong's Fierce Dragon Transformation were both due to this. This was why the Seven Kill Sect established a branch here, to recruit people from this place into the sect's outer sect.

Those who practiced cultivation in the world must have a spiritual root to cultivate. The reason Luoli and the others could become iron badge disciples was that they all had spiritual roots, so only they had the chance to participate in the Ascension Conference.

Supernatural powers were extremely important, in the Central Heaven Main World, only below the Dao Body and Immortal Bone. Those with supernatural powers would be sought after by major sects.

Seeing them attack, Luoli swung his long sword, the sword light flashed, the fast sword was like the wind, stabbing towards Menglong and Xiaoqing.

The battle immediately began, sword light, claw shadows, and venomous snakes. The three fought for over thirty rounds, then separated. Luoli panted heavily, looking at the two opponents.

Menglong said: "Ha, Senior Brother Luoli, Heaven's Way Assassination, you can't do it! We have been preparing this combined attack for over a year, using our supernatural powers to specifically counter you.

I know your sword technique is very powerful, but without a supernatural power, we can use this to suppress you and kill you. So today, you are dead for sure!"

Luoli looked at Xiaoqing, who avoided his gaze, her killing intent even stronger!

Luoli took a deep breath and slowly said:

"Since you truly want to kill me and have no feelings left, don't blame me!

Actually, you are wrong, I also have a supernatural power!"

After saying this, Luoli pointed at Menglong and Xiaoqing and shouted:

"Heaven above, Earth below!

Menglong, Xiaoqing, in the sixth year of Zongzhen, in March, you assassinated the Black Tiger Gang's leader, Old Ma, and killed seventeen of his guards!

In the sixth year of Zongzhen, in April, you assassinated the Thirteen Linked Fort's leader, Elder Tianli, and killed twenty-one of his guards!

In the sixth year of Zongzhen, in May, …"

As Luoli accused them, Menglong laughed and said:

"At the end of your life, you still play this game, stop talking nonsense! You are really foolish, do you really think you can enforce the will of heaven? Will heaven help you?"

Luoli heard this and laughed loudly, then shook his head and said:

"Fine, since we are comrades, I won't play these games. Anyway, I still have seven good deeds, which can punish evil!

Menglong, Xiaoqing, heaven above, earth below! The evidence is clear, punishment for evil comes first!"

After saying this, two strange energies were released from Luoli's body, merging with the heavens and earth. Attracted by this, a strange and powerful force from the sky fell upon Luoli!

Luoli's sword stabbed towards Menglong!

This sword was the Fast Sword Technique, a direct and fierce stab, simple and brutal, all his strength focused into one strike, aimed to kill!

Menglong had practiced this attack countless times, and he had eighteen ways to counter this sword. However, he did not take it lightly and used the safest method to counter it!

This sword, clear and fast like lightning, Menglong blocked it with his supernatural power. This block was not simple, containing seven major changes and thirteen minor changes, absolutely able to block this sword!

But it didn't work. Luoli's sword was unaffected by any of the major or minor changes. Menglong was greatly alarmed and tried to defend, but it was useless. In an instant, the sword pierced through his supernatural power and stabbed three inches into his chest!

Instantly, both Menglong and Xiaoqing shouted: "Impossible!"

Luoli pulled out his sword and continued to attack!

Another sword, Menglong resisted frantically, and Xiaoqing came to his aid, but this sword was too fast, twice as fast as Luoli's previous attacks. At the same time, the power of the sword had doubled!

All of this was beyond their imagination. In an instant, this sword once again penetrated all of Menglong's defenses and stabbed into his chest!

Then Luoli struck again, this time Menglong had no fighting spirit and tried to escape, but this sword was twice as fast as before, instantly piercing his heart!

Luoli pulled out his sword, blood splattered, Menglong desperately clutched his chest, looking at Luoli in disbelief, and said: "This is impossible, this is impossible! You, you, you were hiding your strength!"

"Hiding my strength?" Luoli shook his head and laughed.

"I told you, I also have a supernatural power!"

"Have you ever thought about why I do good deeds every day, why I enforce the will of heaven, and punish evil?

You have never thought about it!"

"The reason is simple, my supernatural power is: Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil!"

"Every time I do a good deed, a force accumulates in my body, which I call a good deed. When I gather a complete good deed, I can activate a punishment, killing an enemy!

As long as I designate you as evil, my good deed will attract the power of heaven and earth, giving me strength. My sword will be faster, stronger, more brutal, and more deadly!

So I never kill anyone recklessly, to better kill! Because using my supernatural power, each kill consumes one of my good deeds, so I do good deeds everywhere to accumulate good deeds!

Killing you two, I still have five good deeds left! This is the only secret you didn't know, so you are dead!"

Menglong looked at Luoli, full of hatred, but suddenly his hatred disappeared, and he laughed and said:

"Ah, I see, you do good deeds for this! You also have a supernatural power, you are just as black-hearted as us, ha, I die without regret..."

He didn't finish his sentence, blood spurted out, and Menglong fell to the ground, dead!

Then Luoli looked at Xiaoqing, who was completely stunned, looking at Luoli, and finally responded, forcing a smile and said:

"Brother Luoli, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know! If I had known, I would never have betrayed you!

Brother Luoli, I was wrong, can you forgive me? From now on, I will listen to you, do whatever you say! I am still a virgin, I will do everything you say!

We were together when we were young, you carried me out of the land of death, you said you would take care of me for life!"

Her eyes were full of pleading, as gentle as a kitten!

Luoli shook his head and replied:

"Survive? Survive! You betrayed me to survive, I also want to survive, so I have to kill you!

One must look forward, let the past be the past. I am a killer, I am sorry, I will remember you, but you must die!"

After saying this, Luoli attacked, his sword as fast as the wind, fierce as a tiger, venomous as a snake, and brutal as a wolf, attacking Xiaoqing fiercely.

With each sword, the power of heaven and earth gathered in Luoli's body, his speed and strength doubled!

Luoli's strength suddenly increased, and this was why he could easily kill thirty-one powerful enemies. This was Luoli's true trump card!

The sword light danced, and with a light touch, Xiaoqing's snake whip was severed. After thirteen swords, all of Xiaoqing's snake whips were destroyed. After sixteen swords, her supernatural power was shattered. On the nineteenth sword, it caught up with the fleeing Xiaoqing and pierced her heart!

Piercing through her heart, entering from the front and exiting from the back, a cold, piercing sensation!

Xiaoqing clutched the sword, blood streaming from her hands, but it couldn't change her fate. She looked at Luoli, the pain, anger, and hatred distorting her face.

Gradually, as life faded, the pain, anger, and hatred disappeared, and Xiaoqing's face returned to normal. She looked at Luoli and said:

"Brother Luoli, Brother Luoli, am I going to die like Dali and Erhu?"

Dali and Erhu were their companions in the past, who died without passing the Shadow Killer test!

At this moment, Xiaoqing was no longer the venomous woman, but the gentle junior sister from their youth.

Luoli nodded and said: "Yes, yes..."

Then he whispered: "I'm sorry, but I have to do this. I also want to survive, you know too much, if you don't die, my father and I can't leave this land without spirits..."

Xiaoqing smiled bitterly and said: "I don't blame you, I betrayed Brother Luoli. I just wanted to survive, forgive us...

I really want to survive...

Brother Luoli, you must live well, live for us, don't die like us, leave this prison, live well..."

Her voice stopped, and Xiaoqing died, her face full of longing for life and unwillingness to die!

Luoli slowly pulled out his sword and shouted:

"Heaven above! Earth below! Evil is punished, punishment comes first!"

The strange power from heaven and earth dissipated from Luoli's body, and he turned to leave!

He walked quickly, without stopping, his face unchanged, still resolute, but a tear fell from his eye!

Only Luoli could hear the voice that gradually faded in the wind:

"Actually, you are still wrong, my heart is not yet black..."
