41: Chapter 41 Blood Demon Pill

In an instant.

The sword light from the green steel sword in Chen Yan's hand flared brilliantly.

Under the surging Sword Intent, the surrounding trees were coated in a layer of white frost.

Lin Qinger swung her sword as she approached, and seeing this scene, she became twisted with jealousy: "Impossible! Why do you also have a mystic ice sword tassel?"

Chen Yan smiled contemptuously, and as his sword light surged, he met Lin Qinger: "Is a mystic ice sword tassel so difficult to get? I obtained it the moment I thought about it!"

"Ah!!!"

Lin Qinger felt a surge of jealous rage rush to her head and roared: "It must be Leng Qingshuang helping you! Go to hell!"

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

As the sword lights crossed, the sound of metal clashing rang out continuously through the forest.

Nearby, Qian Duoduo watched their figures crossing back and forth; amidst the crisscrossing Sword Qi, the trees within a radius of ten zhang had long been leveled!

He silently swallowed, activated his defensive barrier, and quietly retreated from the battlefield!

"Ding!"

Another blast of mystic ice Sword Qi struck, which Lin Qinger blocked in a hurry, her eyes filled with lingering fear!

Watching Chen Yan, who was still handling the fight with ease, she became increasingly alarmed as they fought!

Why!

Why is it like this?

This shouldn't be happening!

Clearly, she was at Foundation Establishment Perfection, while that trash Chen Yan was only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage!

Shouldn't she be crushing him with an overwhelming advantage and killing Chen Yan on the spot?

But now, she was the one being suppressed and beaten by Chen Yan!

Every one of Chen Yan's sword strikes and moves was as natural and seamless as an antelope hanging by its horns!

Coupled with the perfect combination of the mystic ice sword tassel and the mystic ice water-parting sword!

It actually suppressed her so much that she couldn't even execute her sword techniques!

Every time she just barely swung her sword, it was broken by Chen Yan with even sharper Sword Qi!

"Lingbo Stepping Through the Gap!"

Just as she was distracted, a cold light flashed in Chen Yan's eyes. Using his flowing light movement technique, he darted forward, and the green steel sword in his hand struck three times in quick succession at the vital points on Lin Qinger's chest!

His figure moved as if riding on light!

Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!

"Puchi!"

By the time Lin Qinger reacted, the Sword Qi was already upon her, and there was no way to dodge!

Her entire body was sent flying by the Sword Qi like a broken sack!

Blood instantly seeped from her chest, spraying a trail of crimson through the air.

She stared blankly at the sky above the forest, unable to accept this reality: "Impossible! It shouldn't be like this! I refuse to accept this!"

Strike when the enemy is down!

As an outstanding youth from the 21st century, Chen Yan knew all too well the cliché trope of villains dying because they talk too much!

He didn't give Lin Qinger any chance to catch her breath; he pushed off with his feet and immediately swung his sword to attack!

"In this world, nothing is impossible! Do you know now why Revered Master chose me instead of you?"

He raised the green steel sword, the blade trembling, and executed the move "Wave-Parting Trace-Seeking," aiming straight for Lin Qinger's head!

In the Sect Small Competition, life and death are not considered!

This is the cruelty of the cultivation world!

Even in a competition within the same Sect, human life is not regarded!

Chen Yan had always held back against others before, but when facing Lin Qinger...

He could not do so!

This bitch had tried to take his life time and time again and had even spoken disrespectfully to Revered Master; she deserved to die!

But just at this moment!

"Crack! Snap!"

The green steel sword in Chen Yan's hand, having been damaged during his clash with Lin Qinger, could no longer bear the strain and shattered into pieces!

Only a bare hilt remained in his hand!

"Damn it! Using a Mortal-rank weapon against a Spirit Rank one is still too much of a disadvantage!"

Because the green steel sword shattered, the Sword Qi was slightly deflected, only grazing Lin Qinger's cheek.

In an instant, her face was covered in blood, and her expression became even more twisted!

She looked at Chen Yan, gritting her teeth, her heart filled with unwillingness and humiliation!

Why should she lose to this trash?

She had clearly suffered so much, so why was she still unable to defeat a piece of garbage!

"You forced me! You all forced me to do this!"

Lin Qinger roared hoarsely, her heart completely filled with crazy hatred!

"You want me to die? Then let's die together! Everyone go to hell!"

She suddenly pulled out a brownish-red Medicinal Pill and swallowed it without a second thought.

"That is..."

Qian Duoduo's expression changed drastically: "Burning Blood Pill!"

Burning Blood Pill.

A forbidden drug that burns the essence blood in the body to forcibly increase combat power by several times!

Although the effect is strong, the price is also extremely high!

At best, one suffers from a depletion of essence blood and a regression in cultivation; at worst, one's Foundation is completely destroyed, and one becomes a Mortal!

"Boom!"

The Medicinal Pill dissolved the moment it entered her mouth.

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from within Lin Qinger's body!

Cold, evil, and filled with bloodthirst!

This was not the effect of a Burning Blood Pill at all!

"Ah!!!"

Lin Qinger looked up to the sky and let out a shrill, miserable roar!

Veins bulged on her face, and wisps of blood-colored Spiritual Qi continuously emanated from her body!

Her eyes were blood-red, her hair grew wildly, and even her body seemed to have grown a size larger!

And her cultivation surged wildly!

Foundation Establishment Perfection... False Core Realm!

Pop!

Early Golden Core Stage!

Above the Secret Realm, the sky suddenly turned gloomy.

The aura on Lin Qinger was grim and terrifying, filled with a thick smell of blood!

Chen Yan watched, dumbfounded: "Holy crap! This cannot be a Burning Blood Pill, what the hell is this?"

...

"blood demon pill!"

On the high viewing platform, Lu Lingdan looked at Lin Qinger's change and shouted angrily: "Damn it! That is a Medicinal Pill used by the Demon Sect to lure people into becoming demons!"

"Where did she get it?"

The blood demon pill, an evil pill used by the Demon Sect to lure Cultivators into becoming demons!

It can allow one to obtain powerful strength in an instant, but it will also cause one's Dao Heart to fall, lose self-awareness, and become a Puppet of the Demon Sect!

But Lin Qinger was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, having Cultivated in the Taiqing Sword Sect for years, and could not possibly have come into contact with anyone from the Demon Sect. Where did she get the blood demon pill?

Swish!

Everyone's gaze turned in unison toward Li Qingxuan's position!

The shuanghua sword in Leng Qingshuang's hand hummed incessantly, and a strand of killing intent locked directly onto Li Qingxuan!

"Li Qingxuan! How do you explain this?"

Lu Lingyun was the most impatient; she slammed the table and stood up, angrily rebuking this hypocrite: "Lin Qinger is your Disciple and has an extraordinary relationship with you!"

"I'm afraid you were the one who gave her this blood demon pill, right?"

"Speak! Have you already colluded with the Demon Sect!"

Li Qingxuan, who sat beside the Sect Head, remained unmoved in the face of everyone's accusations and laughed coldly: "This seat is the Peak Revered Master of the Fifth Peak of the Taiqing Sword Sect!"

"Why would I dig my own grave and collude with the Demon Sect?"

"Although Lin Qinger is my Disciple, I have never restricted her personal freedom!"

"As for this blood demon pill, this seat is also unaware!"

Lu Lingyun was furious.

This Li Qingxuan had actually managed to clear himself completely with just a few words!

Truly shameless!

Su Wenjian sat in the main seat, leisurely turning a teacup in his hand, and chuckled: "Everyone, calm down!"

"There is no evidence that the demonic pill in Lin Qinger's hand was given by Qingxuan!"

"After the first round of the Sect Small Competition ends, we can capture Lin Qinger and perform a soul search on her; the truth will then be clear!"

A flicker appeared in Leng Qingshuang's eyes as she looked at Su Wenjian and said coldly: "Since the Sect Head has spoken, we shall comply!"

"I will enter the Secret Realm right now and capture her!"

Saying this, she immediately stood up and was about to rush into the portal!

Although the Rebellious Disciple was intelligent and had some tricks, he was only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage!

Lin Qinger had swallowed the demonic pill and her cultivation had broken through to the Golden Core, spanning a whole Realm; how could the Rebellious Disciple possibly be her opponent?

But before she could make a move, the Peak Revered Master of the Eighth Peak, Guo Fengyi, hurriedly stopped her and gave a bitter smile: "Sword Venerable Shuanghua, please don't be impulsive!"

"The teleportation formation of the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm can only recognize Disciples at the Foundation Establishment Stage; how could it withstand the pressure of the Mahayana Stage?"

"Once you rush into the portal, the formation will likely fall apart instantly!"

"Then the thousands of Disciples inside the Secret Realm would never be able to come back!"

"What?!"

Leng Qingshuang's expression changed, and a rare trace of panic flashed across her face: "Is there any solution?"
