7: System: Are you really the child of destiny?

Clang, clang, clang… Amidst the surging Sword Qi, the giant python’s body emitted sounds like metal clashing.

Its scales were indeed too hard.

If that terrifying Sword Qi had struck an ordinary person, it would have probably torn them to shreds long ago.

One unlucky Cultivator was swept up by the fluctuations of this Sword Qi, leaving not even a complete part of his body.

The remaining one had hidden in the deep trench cut by the Sword Qi.

The clash between the Sword Qi and the giant python continued.

The python’s massive body was continuously forced back by the Sword Qi, its roars incessant.

Whoosh!

Just then, Lin Ye, stepping on his sword scabbard, floated into the air. With his white robes fluttering, he looked like a young Sword Immortal at this moment.

He raised one hand in a sword-finger gesture above his head, and white Sword Qi continuously accumulated on his sword-finger.

When the white light completely illuminated the surroundings,

Lin Ye’s gaze sharpened.

He suddenly swung his raised hand downwards.

“Slay!”

Swish!!!

A flash of sword light directly severed the giant python’s body. After cutting through the python, the white sword light continued to rampage forward along the ground, destroying everything in its path.

Vicious Beasts, plants, trees, giant rocks, and streams in its path were all split in two.

The elegance of this sword strike made heaven and earth lose their color!

The giant python still maintained its roaring posture, but its massive body had already been split into two halves. With a thud, it fell directly to the ground, blood flowing everywhere.

Lin Ye, in his fluttering white robes, stood atop his sword scabbard. His ponytail was gently lifted by the breeze, his hair swaying, making him appear so ethereal.

The untimely voice of the System rang out at this moment.

“Ahem… Host, I’m sorry to interrupt your showing off, but if you don’t go down now, the last remaining sole survivor might die.”

“What?!”

Lin Ye didn’t care about anything else and quickly jumped down from the sword scabbard.

He went to check the injuries of the last Cultivator.

Just now, during the battle with the giant python, a Cultivator who had suffered poison wounds was caught in the Sword Qi. Even if Lin Ye had wanted to save him then, it would have been too late.

Now there was only one left; he couldn’t die!

Otherwise, wouldn’t his story of Son of Destiny seeing injustice and drawing his sword to help not be spread?

Thinking of this, Lin Ye immediately jumped into the deep trench to check the situation.

The last remaining sole survivor was a female Cultivator. Her face was pale purple, and her breathing was rapid. However, because she had only been slightly contaminated with a bit of poison, she was not dead yet.

At this moment, when the female Cultivator saw Lin Ye’s arrival, her eyes widened, filled with terror.

She had just seen with her own eyes her Senior Brother torn to shreds by this person’s Sword Qi.

“This female benefactor… Bah! What nonsense, this female Bodhisattva? Female Daoist? Oh, never mind, this woman, don’t worry, I’m not a bad person! Really!”

Lin Ye quickly helped the female Cultivator up, took out a Medicinal Pill from his qiankun ring, and fed it into her small cherry-like mouth.

After the female Cultivator took the Medicinal Pill, her purplish-blue face slowly regained its color.

“You… who are you?!”

After recovering from her injuries, the first thing the female Cultivator did was pick up her Spirit Sword and point it at Lin Ye, her beautiful face filled with vigilance.

Seeing this, Lin Ye was not angry; instead, he smiled and said, “Miss, I’m really not a bad person. You’ve misunderstood me.”

“You, you killed my Senior Brother!!!”

Mentioning her Senior Brother, the female Cultivator’s face was covered in tears.

Their relationship was very good. In the last moment, it was her Senior Brother who pushed her into the deep trench, while her Senior Brother tragically died under the Sword Qi.

“That was a misunderstanding!”

Lin Ye said with a bitter smile, “You should have seen it; I was helping you all kill that giant python just now. I was momentarily careless, sigh… This is indeed my fault. I’m sorry, I am willing to atone for it.”

“Atonement! How will you atone?! My Senior Brother is dead, boo hoo hoo…”

The female Cultivator bent down, hugging her knees, and began to cry loudly.

“Miss, don’t cry. Don’t worry, I will safely escort you back to your Sect!”

“No! You killed my Senior Brother, I want you to pay with your life!!!”

The female Cultivator suddenly stood up and swung her Spirit Sword at Lin Ye. There was no spiritual energy attached to this sword strike, but when Lin Ye saw the Spirit Sword coming, his body, which had been constantly fighting Vicious Beasts these days, moved subconsciously.

Swish… A white light flashed.

The female Cultivator’s head was separated from her body, and blood splattered everywhere.

Her fallen head, at this moment, had wide-open eyes, looking at Lin Ye with disbelief.

It seemed to be saying, ‘I didn’t even use spiritual energy for this sword strike, why didn’t you dodge?! You didn’t dodge at all and just killed me? Didn’t you say you were a good person!!!’

“Holy crap!!!”

Lin Ye was also startled by this scene.

He immediately bent down, picked up the woman’s head, and directly tried to press it back onto her body.

Surprisingly, because the Sword Qi was fast enough, it hadn’t caused much damage to the flesh and bones. It was more like putting together building blocks, and he really did press the head back on.

“Uh, it can still be used if I put it back, right? Is it a bit dirty? Or should I help you wash it!”

Lin Ye’s face was filled with anxiety.

He was a good person, Son of Destiny! How could he just kill people at will?!

It was all the fault of the damned Vicious Beasts in the Ten Thousand Mountains, making his body develop muscle memory from all the fighting.

If he ever achieved the Great Dao, he would definitely exterminate all these Vicious Beasts!!!

Just then, the System spoke faintly: “Buddy, tell me honestly, are you really Son of Destiny?”

“Nonsense!!!”

Because the female Cultivator’s head kept falling off, Lin Ye was sweating profusely in a panic and irritably responded with two words.

“Hmm…” The System continued with a strange tone: “Do you want to see what you look like right now?”

“What do I look like?”

“I knew you couldn’t see it. Here, I’ll help you.”

Ding-dong… Congratulations, Host, you have received an ordinary mirror.

Hearing the System’s prompt.

Lin Ye frowned slightly. He didn’t understand what the System meant.

Let him see what he looked like?

What was strange about his appearance?

Swish… As light flickered, a mirror appeared beside Lin Ye. Turning his head to look, he almost scared himself.

He finally understood what the System was saying.

In the mirror, a man in white robes, covered in blood, was holding a head with wide-open, unseeing eyes, and was constantly playing with it like building blocks!

“I… No! This is an illusion! Hmm!”

“This head can definitely still be used!”

With that, Lin Ye didn’t care about anything else and directly untied his belt.

“Buddy! Calm down! What are you doing? Are you trying to take advantage of the warmth? Even I, a pervert, find this perverted. Can you please not be like this.”

“What are you talking about?! What is this talk?!”

Lin Ye was furious out of embarrassment. The System was slandering him! After pressing the head directly back onto the neck, he tightly bound it with the belt in his hand.
