Chapter 58: Eight People, Eight Cranes—Gone in an Instant

"Since you've offended the people and horses of my Fang family, then leave your lives behind."

At this moment, Fang Qingxue rose to her feet, her body suspended in mid-air, currents of air swirling around her, her white robes fluttering, and beyond three zhang, purple lightning crackled and popped.

An aura of looking down on heaven and earth, allowing no creature to be profaned, radiated from her.

At this instant, Fang Yu felt that this Young Lady of the Fang family was like a sword with its edge fully bared—one that would pierce a hole even through the heavens.

Fang Qingxue had now murderous intent.

The moment she had arrived at the Yuhua Sect with a group of Fang family disciples, inner sect disciples had ridden immortal cranes to disrupt the Fang family's carriages. That was tantamount to slapping Fang Qingxue's face, giving her a show of force.

This Young Lady instantly surged with boundless killing intent.

With a flick of her finger, a streak of Purple Lightning Yin Thunder blade-light tore through the void in an instant, shaking sun and moon, and the powerful purple lightning made the air sizzle and crackle.

Sizzle—

The young Daoist who had earlier pointed his whip at Fang Han was struck by the Purple Lightning Yin Thunder in an instant, and his body burst into flames.

A wail of utter misery rang out across the field, chilling everyone to the bone.

The immortal crane beneath that Daoist sensed the aura of danger and immediately took flight to escape, but Fang Qingxue would not let it go. With another press of her hand, another Purple Lightning Yin Thunder blade blasted forth and incinerated that crane completely.

One person, one crane—killed in an instant!

The other disciples, seeing this scene, were greatly shocked. It seemed they had not expected Fang Qingxue would dare to kill, to slay inner sect disciples of her own sect right at the Yuhua Sect, and they immediately mounted their cranes and fled into the sky.

"Fang Qingxue, how dare you kill us? Aren't you afraid of sect-rule punishment? We are Jin Jin Shitai's people—you can't do this!"

"To take a life against an inner sect disciple without authorization is the path of demonic cultivation! How will you answer to Elder Tian Xing!"

These seven young disciples roared as they fled.

"True Disciples are personally appointed by the Zhang Sect and hold the power of life and death. You have offended my dignity—if I do not kill you today, where would my authority stand? You can only blame your Jin Jin Shitai for sending you out for me to establish my dominance. In your next life, when you reincarnate, keep your eyes open."

Fang Qingxue still spoke calmly. With seven flicks of her finger, seven streaks of purple lightning swept across the field, slashing toward the remaining seven people and seven cranes.

"Hold!"

A voice of utter fury came from afar. Accompanying that voice came a streak of jade-green light—a man dressed entirely in green, exceedingly handsome, riding qi to fly, covering dozens of li in the blink of an eye. In mid-air he too pressed out a hand, and immediately seven bolts of eerie green flame met Fang Qingxue's blade-light.

"Junior Sister Fang, everything can be discussed—why resort to killing?"

This green-clad man spoke.

The jade-green flames and the purple lightning blade-light collided in the void and both dissolved.

"Jin Shi, if I, Fang Qingxue, want to kill someone, do you think you can stop me?"

Fang Qingxue did not stop. The blade-light in her hand transformed once more, condensing into seven blade-lights imbued with countless bolts of purple lightning, and she struck out across the void once again.

Fwsh fwsh fwsh!

This man called Jin Shi finally showed fury on his face. He waved his hand again, and seven streaks of jade-green fire-light shot skyward, attempting to block Fang Qingxue's attack.

But the fire-light could not block the purple lightning blade-light at all—in an instant it was shattered. Then the purple lightning blade-light struck the seven young Daoists. Seven people, seven cranes—all exploded into balls of flame in an instant and tumbled down.

"Damn it—Fang Qingxue, you've already cultivated to the 3rd Stage of Divine Abilities Gang Qi Realm! And you killed my eight people and eight cranes!"

Jin Shi's face showed utter shock, along with a surge of fury.

"What can you do about it? Jin Shi, although you are also a True Disciple of my Yuhua Sect and broke through to the Divine Ability Secret Realm earlier than I, you're still only at the 2nd Stage of Divine Abilities true qi realm. If you're dissatisfied with me, we can go up to the Tian Xing Platform and have a proper contest. I'll be waiting at any time."

After slaying those eight people and eight cranes, Fang Qingxue remained utterly indifferent.

"Tian Xing Platform!"

Hearing those three words, Jin Shi's face changed—this was the place where True Disciples settled their deep grudges.

On the Tian Xing Platform, of any True Disciples who entered, only one could walk out alive.

"Hmph. I will report this matter to Elder Tian Xing!"

Jin Shi swept his sleeve and departed.

"Let's go."

After killing the eight people and eight cranes, Fang Qingxue descended once more and returned to the carriage.

"The Young Lady is truly domineering."

Fang Yu watched this scene and clicked his tongue in admiration.
