As Hu Bin lost the last bit of consciousness, he still saw his own body standing there, headless, with blood gushing out from his neck like a spring.
The head that had fallen to the ground still wore a look of joy, as if it had just succeeded in killing Zheng Shiyi.
The body that hit the ground stirred up a cloud of dust. It was only at the moment of his last breath that Hu Bin realized one thing: his sword had not played any role at all.
How could a blade be so fast?
With confusion and unwillingness, Hu Bin lost his life.
"Such a fast blade!"
The disciples watching had been focusing on Hu Bin, who was drawing his sword.
With Hu Bin's strength, he didn't need to use his sword to kill a new disciple.
In their view, as soon as Hu Bin drew his sword, Zheng Shiyi, standing opposite him, would surely be killed.
In that instant, a figure, accompanied by gusts of wind, swept past them. The cold light flashed, and Hu Bin's head was severed.
Could there really be such a swift and mysterious blade technique in the sect?
"Fast! Really, really fast!"
"Even before the Seventh Wheel of the Qi Wheel Realm truly made a move, he was already killed! The speed of the attack was really too fast!"
Following the direction of the blade's shadow, Zheng Shiyi had already sheathed the Shadowless Blade and was walking off the stage.
Looking at Zheng Shiyi's departing back, these people were all stunned, unable to speak for a long time.
Just a moment ago, everyone was saying that Zheng Shiyi was no match for Hu Bin and would be eliminated by some means.
But... in just a short moment... the assumption that the seemingly helpless Zheng Shiyi would be killed by Hu Bin was overturned!
Hu Bin didn't even pose a real threat to Zheng Shiyi before he was killed!
Is this really a new disciple? Is that swift and thunderous blade technique a family legacy?
Zheng Shiyi slowly walked down from the life-and-death stage and came to Wu Dong's side. Wu Dong watched Zheng Shiyi, swallowing saliva repeatedly.
The duel on the life-and-death stage is different from killing beasts. Beasts have low intelligence and don't know when the fatal move will come, so they are easily killed.
But it's different with humans! The opponent can counterattack and predict!
Especially, Zheng Shiyi cannot easily use the "Eight Desolate Steps"!
Wu Dong was really afraid that Zheng Shiyi would not be a match for Hu Bin. He had already prepared to violate the sect rules and rush onto the stage. But he never expected that Hu Bin couldn't even withstand one move from Zheng Shiyi.
"Truly worthy of being my brother, Wu Dong!" Wu Dong patted Zheng Shiyi's shoulder and smiled foolishly. "Brother, in just a few days, you've cultivated the Shadowless Blade to this level."
"The Shadowless Blade is truly worthy of a genius like you."
Zheng Shiyi smiled bitterly, speechless. In terms of talent, he couldn't match Qiu Tianlang! Fortunately, the soul seeds in his body could make up for this.
Wu Dong pointed to a nearby spot and said, "There's a waterfall in the back mountain of the sect! It's said that cultivating the Shadowless Blade there can speed up the process. Why don't you try it?"
Zheng Shiyi's eyes lit up. He had often practiced under waterfalls before, knowing that it could promote cultivation.
The Shadowless Blade's afterimage can make the blade's weight vary. If he could easily use it in the waterfall, his land combat would surely become even stronger!
When Zheng Shiyi and Wu Dong entered the room, they saw Su Jingdan treating several martial artists.
"You just have a cold, nothing serious. Take this medicine in two doses with warm water, and you'll recover."
Su Jingdan handed the wrapped medicine to a disciple whose face was pale and sweating profusely.
The disciple happily took the medicine, handed a few soul sands to Su Jingdan, and said, "Doctor Su, this is your payment."
Soul sands contain a very small amount of soul power. One liang of soul stone contains several times the soul power of one liang of soul sand.
Su Jingdan took the soul sands she had earned from treating patients that morning and said to Zheng Shiyi, "These soul sands should be about one liang. Here!"
"You don't want them?" Zheng Shiyi looked at Su Jingdan in confusion.
The soul power in soul sands is dozens of times richer than the spiritual energy in the world.
Su Jingdan shook her head and said, "As a spirit doctor, we basically don't need these. We can improve our cultivation by sensing the properties of herbs."
"So, I can give you the soul sands I earn from treating patients."
Zheng Shiyi took the soul sands and smiled awkwardly, "I didn't expect that spirit doctors could be a gold mine for martial artists."
Su Jingdan blinked her beautiful eyes, gave Zheng Shiyi a playful glare, and said with a proud look, "I have many uses, you'll see! But, I'm not giving you the soul sands for free. You have to provide me with a large amount of spirit herbs to help me improve."
"You also have to protect me and take me to advance when I need to."
"Wait!" Zheng Shiyi raised his hand to interrupt, "Besides protecting you, I have to provide you with a large amount of spirit herbs? Isn't that a big loss for me?"
Su Jingdan pouted and gave him another playful glare, "What else? Do you think being a dedicated spirit doctor is just a title? How can I improve without your help?"
"Do you want me to become a pitiful spirit doctor who can't even afford spirit herbs?"
Su Jingdan looked at Zheng Shiyi with a pitiful expression, fully displaying her feminine charm. Even the most heartless person would soften at the sight of her.
"Right, brother! How can you let Su Jingdan become a pitiful spirit doctor who can't even afford spirit herbs? Don't let me, Wu Dong, look down on you," Wu Dong added, showing his satisfaction.
Zheng Shiyi shook his head in confusion. When did these two stand on the same side?
"Actually, if you think about it, I'm the one who benefits," Zheng Shiyi scratched his head and said, "Please take care of me in the future."
"Haha, you're indeed a good brother," Wu Dong put his hand on Zheng Shiyi's shoulder.
Su Jingdan said with a beaming face, "I knew Brother Zheng was the best."
There is a large waterfall in the back mountain of the sect, over a thousand feet high, which is very suitable for cultivating the Shadowless Blade.
The next morning, Zheng Shiyi headed to the waterfall in the back mountain.
On the way, many people looked at him with strange expressions.
"He's the one who stole Xu Sa's head, went up to the life-and-death stage, and killed Hu Bin in one move!"
"Is that really him? With Xu Sa's status, not to mention the outer disciples, even the inner disciples wouldn't dare to provoke him. He actually stole Xu Sa's head."
"Is he really a new disciple?"
"We'd better not provoke such a person."
Despite the gossip, these people didn't dare to approach Zheng Shiyi. Zheng Shiyi ignored them and quickly headed toward the waterfall.
"Crack! Crack!"
A disciple with inverted eyebrows and a fierce appearance approached Zheng Shiyi, moving like a snake, swaying left and right.
Truly worthy of the Xuanming Sect! Zheng Shiyi marveled at the strange way the other person moved, even on the road, someone was practicing movement techniques! It would be better to let him pass, interrupting someone's practice is not good.
"Hmm?"
The other person's eyebrows furrowed, and he swayed left and right, charging toward Zheng Shiyi, who had just moved to avoid him.
What? Zheng Shiyi thought quickly. There's plenty of space on the side of the road. Even if the other person was practicing movement techniques, it would be impossible to charge toward him! He had even given the other person some space, so it couldn't be blocking the way.
The other person is still coming toward me? There's only one possibility! He's looking for trouble!
Better to avoid trouble, Zheng Shiyi chose to move aside again.
But to his surprise, when he moved left, the other person moved left, and when he moved right, the other person moved right.
At this moment, the other person looked at him with a fierce expression and shouted, "Do you want to die? Daring to block my way!"
Zheng Shiyi's face turned cold. He had avoided the other person three times, and this person still came to charge at him? Who sent him?
He glared at the other person and said, "Are you crazy?"
"You dare to curse me! No one dares to curse me, Zhu Xiao, in this area! Do you want to die?" Zhu Xiao pointed at Zheng Shiyi.
Zheng Shiyi laughed coldly and asked straightforwardly, "Do you want to go to the life-and-death stage?"
"The life-and-death stage?" Zhu Xiao laughed loudly, waving his hand, "Don't you think going to the life-and-death stage is too much trouble? I'll just take care of you here!"
Not going to the life-and-death stage and killing a fellow disciple would result in the loss of cultivation and expulsion from the sect!
Zheng Shiyi laughed coldly. Is this guy's brain broken? You attack me, and I kill you here! It doesn't violate the sect rules!
Zhu Xiao roared and took a lightning-fast step forward, his hand like a blade, slashing at Zheng Shiyi.
"The sect rules are strict. Even Zheng Song didn't dare to violate them, so he had Hu Bin challenge me to the life-and-death stage. This guy didn't go to the life-and-death stage and directly attacked me, so there must be a powerful person protecting him."
"Zheng Song doesn't have that much power. Since I joined the sect, I have only offended Xu Sa."
"Is it really him?" Thinking of Xu Sa's arrogant appearance when they were competing for the head, Zheng Shiyi was even more convinced that this person must be him!
"What a sinister person! I don't provoke others, and they don't provoke me. Since you're looking for trouble, I can't be blamed!"
Zheng Shiyi pulled back his chest and struck a powerful punch, meeting Zhu Xiao's slashing palm. The fierce force collided, instantly sending Zhu Xiao flying.
"Spit!"
A mouthful of blood spewed from Zhu Xiao's mouth, and his slashing hand was bent at an odd angle, clearly broken!
Zheng Shiyi closed in, and suddenly four people rushed out from the woods, shouting, "What audacity! Not going to the life-and-death stage, you dare to attack a fellow disciple? Do you think we, the law enforcement hall, are just here for show?"
These four people had a black "Law" character on their chest, the symbol of the law enforcement hall.
