Chapter 0512 Brutal Bloodbath

Chapter 0512: The Savage Bloodbath

Qin Yun was somewhat surprised to see the Lu family here.

The Yang family hated him more and surely coveted his Dao Artifact.

If the Yang family acted, the Lu family wouldn't get a chance to intercept.

The Lu family wouldn't dare challenge the Yang family!

"Qin Yun, are you in such a hurry to save Tian Ruoleng?" An older-looking youth sneered mockingly.

"If you know, then get out of the way quickly! I don't want to waste time with you here!" Qin Yun brushed off the dust as he spoke.

A Martial Master from the Spirit Martial Realm had just knocked him to the ground. He only got dirty but suffered no real damage.

Thanks to his Dao Artifact armor, he was unharmed.

The Martial Master's eyes burned with greed seeing Qin Yun unharmed.

The Lu family certainly had Dao Artifacts, but not many.

Naturally, everyone wanted more Dao Artifacts—the more, the better.

"You should thank us for waiting here," the youth laughed heartily, "Tian Ruoleng is already dead! Even if you rush back, her corpse will be gone!"

Qin Yun's rage flared instantly. "Is this true?"

"Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, with the Yang family, Tian family, and Long family outside the city, do you think Tian Ruoleng stands a chance?"

The Lu family youth drew his sword, excitement lighting up his face. Qin Yun was intercepted by them and was surely doomed!

The Dao Artifact on Qin Yun would also be theirs!

"That wild woman Tian Ruoleng is skilled enough to suppress Long Yuanwei! So the Yang family is waiting for Long Yuanwei's defeat."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to wait for you here!"

"Qin Yun, hand over your Dao Artifact—now. It will benefit everyone."

"As long as you hand it over, we'll just cripple you and let you live."

The Lu family members laughed, their arrogance and smugness on full display.

Qin Yun drew his Dao Artifact greatsword, his grip tightening on the hilt.

Wearing Dao Artifact armor and holding a Dao Artifact greatsword!

The four Lu family members eyed it with greed.

Golden streams of Dao energy shimmered along the greatsword's patterns in the sunlight.

"How many branches does your Lu family have?" Qin Yun wiped his greatsword calmly as he asked.

"Why are you asking this?" The elder Martial Master sneered contemptuously: "The Lu family has thirteen branches across the five states of the Spirit Wilderness! There are three in the Proud Star State! Our branch is the strongest in the Proud Star State!"

"You intercept and kill me here, preventing me from saving my friend! The Lu family and I are now sworn enemies!"

Qin Yun put away the cloth, gazing at the razor-sharp blade.

The elder martial artist threw his head back, laughing heartily. "You are a weakling, not even worthy of being an enemy of our Lü family! You don't even qualify for our Lü family to issue a bounty on you!"

Amidst his laughter, the elder suddenly saw a flash of cold light, the arc of light from a swung blade!

The youth closest to Qin Yun was instantly sliced into three pieces!

The elder could no longer laugh.

Qin Yun simply stood there, holding his blade, its edge dripping with blood!

Of the three youths, one had suddenly died!

The martial artist and the two youths, from start to finish, did not see how Qin Yun had drawn his blade!

Because it was simply too fast!

Qin Yun had been practicing his blade techniques all night, and the strike he delivered was the most basic move, very plain, without any intense aura!

This is the charm of the Mortal Saber Manual!

Just then, Qin Yun had merely gripped his blade tightly, the blade moving as his heart willed!

Instinctively, using the most precise blade technique, he had slain that youth!

"So now, will your Lü family put a bounty on me?" Qin Yun said, gripping his blade with both hands and slashing rapidly, stirring up a slight breeze.

A terrifying blade force, like an invisible sharp edge, descended upon the two youths!

Splat!

The two youths were instantly sliced into several pieces by the incredibly sharp blade force!

Qin Yun simply stood still, channeling a powerful Dao Force attack directly through his blade!

The elder only saw Qin Yun's hands suddenly blur, full of afterimages, unable to discern what blade technique he was using.

"You... you're dead!"

The elder, though frightened, remembered he was a martial artist and boldly gripped a longsword, charging forward.

Seeing the opponent's sword thrusting towards him, Qin Yun slashed with his blade, directly cutting the sword in half!

After the elder's longsword was severed, he was also slashed by the follow-through.

A bloody gash appeared on his chest armor, blood streaming down.

"You've just barely entered the Spirit Martial realm, a worthless martial artist!" Qin Yun said, slashing down again.

In panic, the elder used his fastest movement technique to dodge Qin Yun's slash!

He instantly dashed two to three thousand meters away, then unleashed three Mystic-grade Thunder Talismans!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless wild thunderbolts engulfed Qin Yun!

It must be said, this elder of the Lü family was extremely cunning.

Instead of attacking Qin Yun, he turned and fled!

Just moments ago, during his clash with Qin Yun, he could feel a terrifying Dao Force within Qin Yun's body!

Although that Dao Force was not as strong as that of the Spirit Martial Realm, Qin Yun possessed a Dao Artifact.

Any martial artist who had just entered the Spirit Martial Realm would be doomed if they faced Qin Yun!

"That bastard actually unleashed three Mystic Thunder Talismans in one go!"

Qin Yun broke free from the storm of thunder and immediately chased after the elder from the Lü family.

The Lü family elder was fleeing straight toward the city gate of Sword and Blade City!

...

Tian Ruoleng wore black, her clothes splattered with blood, though it wasn't immediately obvious.

Some of the blood was her own, and some came from her foes.

Her striking, sun-kissed face was icy and unyielding. Her brows were set in determination, giving her a heroic aura.

Yet, it was clear she was utterly exhausted.

A deep gash marred her shoulder, clearly from a sharp blade.

"Tian Ruoleng, your strength is quite impressive. You actually managed to defeat a disciple of the Five Star Gates!" A short-haired man from the Yang family smirked smugly.

Long Yuanwei had indeed lost to Tian Ruoleng, but Tian Ruoleng's wounds were far worse than his.

Long Yuanwei, fearing for his life, had surrendered too soon.

"If that scoundrel hadn't used hidden weapons, I wouldn't be this badly hurt!"

Tian Ruoleng, covered in gruesome wounds, stood unflinching like a warrior, facing the Yang family's prodigy.

From afar, Long Yuanwei yelled, "You wench, stop spouting lies! I didn't use any hidden weapons. I only stopped fighting because I saw how badly injured you were!"

"I let you win, and now you're turning on me! How despicable!"

Yue Wulan, standing by the city gate, sneered at his words, "Long Yuanwei, do you even believe your own words? As long as you defeat Tian Ruoleng, you can obtain the Dao Artifact! A scoundrel like you would just hand over such a priceless Dao Artifact?"

Plenty of onlookers were present, and not a single one believed Long Yuanwei.

"Tian Ruoleng, if you surrender the Dao Artifact willingly, our Yang family will drop the issue of you humiliating Yang Mutian!"

The red-clad youth from the Yang family quivered slightly as he mentioned the Dao Artifact.

The Tian family was also present, but they dared not speak up now.

Tian Ruoleng held little standing in the Tian family, and with her offending both the Long and Yang families, no one dared to defend her.

The Tian family also coveted the Dao Artifact in Tian Ruoleng's possession, but with the Long and Yang families there, they didn't dare challenge them.

"Yang Haipeng, after three years on Star Mountain Island, you're still stuck at the Ninth Layer Martial Path!"

Tian Ruoleng licked the blood trickling down her face and let out a chilling laugh, her expression wild and bloodthirsty.

Yue Wulan ached for Tian Ruoleng, but if she stepped in, the Yang family's martial artists would stop her.

The Long, Yang, and Tian families all had Spirit Martial Realm experts on the scene.

They only let the younger generation take action, ensuring the battle would not be interrupted!

Yang Haipeng was furious after Tian Ruoleng mocked him.

"Tian Ruoleng, your end is near! You insulted our Yang family member Yang Mutian and forced him to kneel, which is equivalent to forcing all of our Yang family members to kneel!"

"Today, I will take your wretched life to restore the dignity of our Yang family!"

"How ridiculous! It was clearly Yang Mutian, that good-for-nothing, who lost the bet but refused to honor his promise!" Tian Ruoleng laughed loudly. "You Yang family members are all cut from the same cloth, spouting the same nonsense!"

"Seize her and make her surrender the Dao Artifact as recompense!" shouted an elder from the Yang family.

Furious, Yang Haipeng charged forward, throwing a punch, with Dao Force surging like a tidal wave.

Despite her wounds, Tian Ruoleng's reflexes were sharp. She quickly leaped up, avoiding the wave-like Dao Force!

"Get down here!" Yang Haipeng bellowed, suddenly summoning a purple-golden roc.

His martial soul was the Purple-Gold Roc Soul!

The roc, formed from condensed Dao Force, resembled a formidable ninth-tier spiritual beast. It screeched and swooped down, using a massive purple-gold wing over ten meters long to strike Tian Ruoleng!

Tian Ruoleng spat blood, her palms radiating a chilling aura. She unleashed a wave of icy Dao Force from afar, freezing the roc's massive wing.

"Gale of Ice Spikes!"

Swish, swish, swish...

Suddenly, a fierce mixed Dao Force materialized in the air, forming numerous ice spikes several meters long, raining down like a tempest, engulfing the roc.

The roc writhed and screeched, its body riddled with holes, slowly disintegrating!

As the released martial soul phantom shattered, Yang Haipeng also took damage, his head pounding and vision blurring.

Tian Ruoleng, pushed to her breaking point, suddenly plummeted from the sky!

Her body slammed into the ground, and she struggled to rise.

"Hahaha... Victory is mine!" Yang Haipeng strode over and kicked Tian Ruoleng, sending her sprawling.

"Ruoleng!" Yue Wulan screamed, rushing forward.

"Wulan, stay out of this!"

Suddenly, an elder woman materialized, halting Yue Wulan. She was a martial master from the Yue family.

"Aunt Liu, let me go!" Yue Wulan, watching Tian Ruoleng being relentlessly kicked, had tears welling in her eyes.

Tian Ruoleng was being mercilessly beaten, while Yang Haipeng laughed triumphantly, relentlessly kicking the severely wounded Tian Ruoleng!

Suddenly, Qin Yun's silhouette appeared in the distant sky!

Qin Yun had caught up to the martial master from the Lü family!

They were just over two thousand meters from the city gate.

"Qin Yun is going to kill me, help!" screamed the martial master from the Lü family.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yun decapitated him with a single strike!

Qin Yun also saw Tian Ruoleng being beaten, and the Sky Lion blood within him instantly boiled!

In his rage, he kicked the head of the Lü family elder towards Yang Haipeng!

Caught off guard, Yang Haipeng's face was struck by the flying head, and his body was covered in bloody filth.
