152: Chapter 152: Chopping Melons and Vegetables

As Zhong Tietou uttered a single word, he felt a chill at his neck, and the rest of his words were abruptly cut off. After a dizzying spin, his head fell heavily to the ground.

"Pfft!"

Zhong Tietou's eyes were wide open in terror even in death.

He couldn't understand, even if it killed him, how he, a powerful Lie Hai Realm Late Stage expert, could be instantly killed by an Kai Shan Realm practitioner with a single sword strike, without even a chance to react.

No, to be precise, he had originally intended to resist, but for some unknown reason, his body suddenly felt as if it had been restrained, and he couldn't even mobilize his Spiritual Qi.

It wasn't until Zhong Tietou's headless corpse crashed to the ground that Qin Haotian and the other Lingxiao Sect Disciples reacted.

"Junior Brother Zhong." Qin Haotian's face changed drastically as he stared intently at Fire Qingrou, who stood with her sword.

"Tietou." The other Lingxiao Sect Disciples also cried out in disbelief.

Zhong Tietou was beheaded just like that?

And by an Kai Shan Realm practitioner? Who would believe it?

But the facts were laid bare before them, leaving them no choice but to believe.

Even Luo Qingxue, who was watching the show from the side, was so shocked that her mouth hung open.

"No, impossible, you absolutely couldn't have killed Junior Brother Zhong so easily." Qin Haotian shook his head, exclaiming in alarm, "Tell me, what kind of demonic art did you use?"

He and Zhong Tietou were only two meters apart. When the sword light struck Zhong Tietou's neck, he had originally wanted to help, but for some unknown reason, the Spiritual Qi in his body suddenly stagnated.

Thinking of this, Qin Haotian hurriedly retreated, putting some distance between himself and Fire Qingrou, his face full of suspicion and uncertainty.

"Now it's your turn!" Fire Qingrou's face was devoid of expression as she raised her sword, pointing it at Qin Haotian, her killing intent fully revealed.

In truth, Fire Qingrou knew no demonic arts. The reason she was able to kill Zhong Tietou so easily was entirely because Zhang Bufan had secretly made a move; otherwise, with her strength, it would have been impossible to behead Zhong Tietou so easily with a single sword strike.

After all, the latter was also a powerful Lie Hai Realm Late Stage expert, and he came from a major Sect power, so his strength was not weak.

Zhang Bufan smiled, looking at Luo Qingxue, and said, "How about it, isn't my Junior Sister strong?"

Luo Qingxue was still somewhat disbelieving, but she didn't see anything amiss. She subconsciously nodded, "Your Junior Sister is very strong. When I was at Kai Shan Realm Great Perfection, I struggled even against Lie Hai Realm Early Stage practitioners, let alone Lie Hai Realm Late Stage."

"Oh oh, Second Senior Sister is mighty!" Hundred Li Jingang waved his small pink fists, shouting excitedly.

"Second Senior Sister?" Luo Qingxue looked at Hundred Li Jingang in Zhang Bufan's arms with a questioning gaze.

"Yes! Is there a problem?" Zhang Bufan retorted.

"No, I thought he was your child..." As Luo Qingxue spoke, she felt Zhang Bufan's face suddenly darken, and she hurriedly stopped the topic.

In truth, she was just speaking her mind. Entering such a dangerous place as the ruins, if he wasn't his own child, how could he always be carried around?

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood, this is my Third Apprentice-Brother." Zhang Bufan explained with a dark face. He didn't even have a girlfriend, so how could he have a child?

When Fire Qingrou heard Luo Qingxue's words, her expression instantly became rich; she didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Not only that, a thought suddenly popped into her mind, "Damn Great Senior Brother, why was he in such a hurry to explain? What did he mean?"

"Sorry, I misunderstood." Luo Qingxue also felt a bit embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Zhang Bufan again.

"Lingxiao Sect Disciples, listen to my command! First, take down this red-dressed woman." Qin Haotian was not in the mood to listen to Zhang Bufan and the others' gossip. He ordered the Lingxiao Sect Disciples.

Because Fire Qingrou had suddenly killed Zhong Tietou just now, he felt apprehensive and didn't dare to act himself, planning to let his followers test the waters first.

Those Lingxiao Sect Disciples were initially hesitant, but when they saw Qin Haotian's icy gaze, they all summoned their weapons and approached Fire Qingrou.

"Be careful with your moves, don't kill her." Qin Haotian instructed again.

At this point, he still couldn't bear to kill Fire Qingrou.

Fire Qingrou's face was expressionless. She looked back at Zhang Bufan, and after getting a response, she no longer hesitated. She rushed forward with her longsword, slashing horizontally, "Die for me."

The two leading Lingxiao Sect Disciples were unwilling to show weakness and intended to severely injure Fire Qingrou with a single strike.

But suddenly, they found that they could no longer sense their Spiritual Power.

Facing the sword light from Fire Qingrou, without Spiritual Power, they, mighty Lie Hai Realm Late Stage practitioners, became like lambs to the slaughter.

"No..."

The two of them only managed to shout one word before they were cut in half by Fire Qingrou's sword light, their bodies severed into two, dead beyond dead.

The remaining few Lingxiao Sect Disciples who were rushing from behind instantly turned pale, hurriedly stopped their steps, and retreated quickly.

But how could Fire Qingrou give them a chance? She took a step forward, and the longsword in her hand danced out several sword lights, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, arriving amidst the Lingxiao Sect Disciples, cutting them down like chopping vegetables.

"Chi chi chi!"

"Ah ah ah!"

"Help..."

For a moment, severed limbs flew, and screams were incessant.

In less than three seconds, those Lingxiao Sect Disciples all fell to the ground, leaving no one alive, dying a truly miserable death.

Qin Haotian, standing in the distance, did not intervene to rescue them. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he didn't dare.

Qin Haotian looked as if he had seen a ghost, terrified to the extreme. His fellow Junior Brothers, all Lie Hai Realm Late Stage or Great Perfection experts, were slaughtered by an Kai Shan Realm practitioner like pigs.

Who would believe that?

Fire Qingrou didn't even glance at the corpses on the ground. She turned and slowly walked towards Qin Haotian, her voice icy, "Now it's your turn."

"Run!"

Qin Haotian's courage was almost shattered.

Although his strength was slightly greater than that of his deceased fellow Disciples, he was definitely not Fire Qingrou's opponent. At this point, if he still regarded Fire Qingrou as an ordinary Kai Shan Realm practitioner, then he must have lost his mind.

At this moment, his only thought was to escape, the farther the better.

But just as Qin Haotian tried to flee into the distance, he was shocked to find that he couldn't mobilize his Spiritual Power.

Because he took too large a step, he stumbled directly and fell heavily to the ground.

And Fire Qingrou had arrived in front of him, the tip of her longsword resting against his chest.

"No, don't kill me! I am a Lingxiao Sect Core Disciple. I have a tracking mark on me. If you kill me, my Master and the entire Lingxiao Sect will definitely not let you off." Qin Haotian supported himself with his hands, continuously retreating, his expression terrified, his whole body trembling.

"Fire Junior Sister, let me do it. Anyway, I already have more than one tracking mark on me."

Zhang Bufan put Hundred Li Jingang down and slowly walked forward.
