Chapter 73: Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

"Cang Baizi and Wan Luo say I'm a blood‑sucking maniac?"

After hearing Yao Dian speak, Chen Zheng's eyes first showed surprise, then a strange flicker, and finally turned into a cold murderous intent.

He felt an unprecedented killing thought toward the two, the kind that would not rest until death.

He also roughly guessed what was happening.

In short, the two suffered a big loss because of him, wanted revenge, but feared Fang Qingxue, so, helpless, they tried to use a knife to kill him.

That was not hard to guess.

His act of using Demonic Cultivation on the Sky Execution Platform to slay Jiang Lingkong is already known to everyone in the Feather Ascension Sect.

His previous mission to the underground world for an inner‑gate qualification test was also no secret.

A brief investigation revealed it.

Thus Wan Luo and the other linked the two incidents, reported them to the Taiyi Sect, and used it to send assassins after him!

Truly malicious!

But they also blundered and uncovered the truth.

However…

The two perhaps did not expect that Yao Dian, just after meeting Chen Zheng, would spill the matter.

If they knew, they'd probably be so angry they'd spit blood.

The sect rules state that colluding with other factions to frame fellow sect members, especially those from the Shen Tong Mi Jing, is a grave crime that will be severely punished.

If Chen Zheng were to die because of this, the headmaster of the Feather Ascension Sect might appear and personally punish the two dogs, Wan Luo and Cang Baizi.

Even the imperial heavens could not protect them.

They are literally throwing stones at their own feet.

In fact, they were blinded by hatred, eager to frame Chen Zheng, otherwise they should have foreseen the Taiyi Sect would expose the matter.

You think you can use the Taiyi Sect as a proxy killer; they aren't fools, they won't let you use them for free.

Moreover, the Taiyi Sect, being the foremost Dao of the Immortals, is supremely confident and acts with "overbearing might", caring not at all about the lives of two minor characters.

In this respect, Chen Zheng and the Taiyi Sect share some similarities.

Only he practices Demonic Cultivation; otherwise, joining the sect would have been a good choice.

"Chen Zheng, Senior Brother Wei Yi personally named you; why don't you come with us? If you make him wait too long, you won't be able to leave alive!"

"You willingly fell, practicing Demonic Cultivation; Senior Brother Wei Yi will investigate thoroughly. If he finds you only practice Demonic Cultivation, that's fine—at most he'll cripple your Divine Art. But if you truly are the murderer of that blood case, hm…"

Seeing Chen Zheng standing silently, many Taiyi Sect disciples above immediately shouted harshly.

Especially one who shouted the loudest pressed his sword light close, his expression fierce, pointing at Chen Zheng's nose and bellowing.

That person was Xia Jiuxiao, who once in the underground world used the "Taiyi Divine Thunder Break" to resist Hai Shan and others.

He is most concerned with the blood‑sucking maniac case.

Because during that underground search for the White Sea Zen, the many inner‑gate disciples who died were led by him.

When the incident occurred, he bore great responsibility.

After returning to the Taiyi Sect, he was severely punished by Elder Tang Jingshan, who gave him a harsh "Immortal Whip" beating.

If not for other brothers pleading, he would have already been beaten by Tang Jingshan into the Immortal Prison, locked up until death.

He then urgently wanted to make amends.

Even if Chen Zheng wasn't the real culprit, he would devise every scheme to brand him a blood‑sucking maniac!

Unfortunately, though the idea was good, there was no chance.

"Noisy."

Chen Zheng's gaze fell on him, as if looking at a corpse.

At the same time his arm rose sharply, five fingers straight as a heavenly sword drawn, pointing at the sky, a slash through the heavens!

Clang!

A burst of golden sword qi erupted from between his fingers, a ringing sound booming, causing heaven and earth to resonate.

This is the Instant‑Kill Method within the Great Freedom Mysterious Golden Sword Qi, eliminating all flourish and variation; its sole principle is swiftness.

Legend has it that many years ago, the headmaster of the Feather Ascension Sect, Feng Baiyu, became famous for the Instant‑Kill Method, slaying countless masters and terrifying the realms of Immortals, Demons, and Beasts. Though Chen Zheng's Instant‑Kill Method is still below Feng Baiyu's due to his cultivation level, it far surpasses other sect members who practice it, reaching the state of "a thought away, an invisible instant kill."

Pfft!

The sound of a weapon piercing flesh rang out.

Xia Jiuxiao hadn't even time to show terror on his face before his expression froze completely.

From his brow to his nose, down to his chest and lower, a stark blood line suddenly appeared.

Then his body split open at the center, dividing in two, collapsing to both sides.

Brain matter, intestines, organs—red and white—along with a gush of blood spurted from both halves, spilling onto the ground.

"……"

The scene fell into dead silence.

You could hear a needle drop!

Yao Dian, Xia You, Yu Fen and the others all widened their eyes, pupils rolling.

This novel you...

Liu Suiyun and the Lord of Death Island turned pallid, as if all their magical power and strength had been drained, terrified to the point of collapsing.

No one expected Chen Zheng to rise without hesitation and kill, slicing Xia Jiuxiao in half with a single sword.

Too brutal.

Too lawless!

He is a true lineage disciple of the Taiyi Sect.

Even the ancient titans wouldn't dare to slay them lightly!

If the cultivation world were likened to a dynasty, the true‑transmission disciples of the Taiyi Sect would be the most noble princes.

And Chen Zheng is the beggar.

How could a beggar dare to kill a prince?

It's so absurd that no one dares to believe it.

"Die."

Seeing the crowd frozen on the spot, Chen Zheng's eyes flashed with a cold smile as he immediately drew the Seven Demonic Gourd.

No pause, no mercy!

Swish swish swish!

At a thought, the gourd instantly launched seven flying swords, each flashing cold light, cutting out fierce sword qi that indiscriminately assaulted all Taiyi Sect members.

Chen Zheng had observed that everyone bore a white flying sword, the Taiyi Splitting Light Sword issued by the Taiyi Sect to its disciples.

They also each carried a "Hundred Treasure Pouch", a standard storage artifact the sect equips its disciples with, valued as a low‑grade treasure.

All these treasures are unavailable to disciples of other sects, constituting a considerable fortune.

If this group is eliminated, their belongings could easily enable an ascent to the Third Great Divine Power.

He could no longer wait.

"Ahhh…"

The endless Seven Demonic sword light fell like a sudden storm; caught off guard, nine people were pierced through their protective true qi, becoming sieves and dying gruesomely on the spot.

Adding the earlier death of Xia Jiuxiao, more than half of the Taiyi Sect members were already dead.

Only Yao Dian, Xia You, and Yu Fen reacted swiftly, their cultivation the strongest; each roared, gathering qi into a massive white Heavenly Lion as big as a mountain, opened their mouths and inhaled, swallowing all the overwhelming sword light.

This is one of the Taiyi Sect's great divine powers, called the Heavenly Lion Great Method, immensely potent.

According to legend, an Elder of this sect once wielded

the Heavenly Lion Great Method, swallowing an entire dynasty in a single bite.

"For years no one has dared to touch a true disciple of my Taiyi Sect, and you, Chen Zheng, dare to kill; from this moment on you're doomed! Heaven and earth, there isn't a single person who can save you! Even if Feng Baiyu himself comes, you are still fated to die— to die…"

"For how many years has no one dared to touch my Taiyi Sect true‑transmission disciple, yet you, Chen Zheng, dare to kill? From this moment on, your death is certain! Heaven and earth, no one can save you! Even if Feng Baiyu himself comes, you are destined to die, to die…"

Yao Dian, Xia You, and Yu Fen all wore iron‑blue faces, eyes blood‑red, glaring at Chen Zheng with ferocious roars, like blood‑crying cuckoos and wailing monkeys.
