10: For the dog? I don't even want the dog.

Junior Brother, we're at the Heavenly Ice Python's territory now.

Li Yunsheng said with a smile.

Ahead was a cold pond, crystal clear to the bottom, surrounded by a strong cold aura.

This was the territory of that Heavenly Ice Python.

Within the cold pond, the strength of a Peak third-tier Heavenly Ice Python would be even more terrifying, enough to rival an ordinary fourth-tier Yao Beast.

Therefore, in the outer reaches of the Lianyun Mountain Range, this Heavenly Ice Python was definitely a hegemon.

Few Yao Beasts dared to provoke it.

So, the reason Li Yunsheng and the other three called Su Changqing was to have him act as bait to lure out the Heavenly Ice Python.

As long as it was lured out, the four of them working together would have a great chance of killing it.

Su Changqing nodded and stepped back with a smile:

“Is that so? Then, Senior Brothers and Senior Sister, you go first. I’ll wait for you here.”

After Su Changqing finished speaking, Li Yunsheng and the other three exchanged glances, then strange smiles appeared on their faces.

Zhang Wentao said with a grin:

“Junior Brother, we didn’t call you here to hide behind us.”

Li Xiaoxue also nodded:

“Exactly, contribution points aren’t that easy to get, right, Junior Brother?”

Watching the four of them, Su Changqing “looked terrified” and raised his head:

“Wh-what do you mean? Didn’t you say you would protect me?”

Su Changqing looked very scared, his eyes seemingly filled with terror.

Li Yunsheng burst into laughter:

“Protect you? Hahahaha, yes, that’s right, we will certainly protect you.

However, we need Junior Brother to help us now by luring out that Heavenly Ice Python, and then we will naturally protect you.”

“Indeed, Junior Brother, we’ll have to trouble you.”

“That’s right, don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.”

“…”

“…”

The few of them spoke one after another, their eyes filled with menace.

If Su Changqing dared to disobey, they would resort to killing him.

Although the Tai Xuan Sect’s rules forbade Disciples from harming each other.

But they were currently in the Lianyun Mountain Range, and no one was watching. Even if Su Changqing was killed, who would know?

Destroying corpses and erasing traces was commonplace for them.

Besides, who would make trouble for them over an Outer Sect Disciple?

Impossible.

Therefore, the few of them didn't take Su Changqing’s life seriously at all.

“Is that so?”

Upon hearing this, Su Changqing suddenly grinned, a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

“What if I don’t go?”

Li Yunsheng sneered upon hearing this and said:

“The blade in my hand will make you obey.”

He looked coldly at Su Changqing.

However.

Just then, Su Changqing moved.

A long sword appeared in his hand at some unknown moment.

The moment the Sky Cloud Sword was unsheathed, a cold light flashed past.

“Intercepting Heaven Nine Swords, First Sword!”

Fast, to the extreme.

Those lingering afterimages streaked across space.

“Boom!”

In just an instant, the long sword cut Zhang Wentao’s neck, and a gush of fresh blood immediately spurted out.

“This… this…”

He hadn't finished speaking when his eyes widened, and he fell straight down.

How was this possible?

Until the moment he died, he couldn't understand why a mere newly-recruited Outer Sect Disciple would have such fast swordplay.

But unfortunately, he could only take that question to Hell.

The other few were instantly shocked.

“How is this possible? Who exactly are you?”

“How can you have such strength?”

“…”

Their faces were filled with shock.

No one expected that a random Outer Sect Disciple they pulled in would possess such strength, instantly killing Zhang Wentao, a Martial Artist at the Middle Stage of the Wheel Sea Realm, with a single sword strike.

The remaining three, apart from Li Yunsheng, were all at the Early Stage of the Wheel Sea Realm.

Su Changqing grinned, not answering their questions, and looked at them as if they were prey.

It would be better for them to ask King Yama in Hell.

With a flicker of thought, Su Changqing’s figure instantly vanished from his original spot.

“What fast movement!”

Li Yunsheng’s eyes suddenly widened.

As the eighth-ranked Outer Sect Disciple, he was naturally not a waste; he could tell at a glance that Su Changqing was using a movement martial art.

However, Su Changqing’s Dragon Swimming Step was a Spirit Rank martial art and had already been Cultivated to the Perfection level, its speed reaching the extreme, even he, a Martial Artist at the Late Stage of the Wheel Sea Realm, couldn't compare.

“Boom!”

A sword thrust, going straight for Li Yunsheng.

Li Yunsheng was instantly shocked and quickly blocked.

Although he was a Martial Artist at the Late Stage of the Wheel Sea Realm, he was still not enough for Su Changqing.

“Bang!”

With one move, Li Yunsheng was instantly sent flying, severely injured, with blood continuously flowing from his chest.

He looked at Su Changqing’s direction, his eyes flashing with intense shock and disbelief.

“No, don’t kill me, I was wrong, I was really wrong.”

Li Yunsheng knew fear now.

Su Changqing’s strength far exceeded his imagination.

He had originally only intended to find bait, but he hadn't expected this bait to be excessively strong.

Even he, a Martial Artist at the Late Stage of the Wheel Sea Realm, was no match.

His pleas for mercy fell on Su Changqing’s ears, only to be met with a disdainful smile.

Pleading for mercy?

Heh heh.

I don’t accept.

“You’d better go to Hell to beg for mercy.”

Su Changqing sneered, and the cold light of the long sword in his hand flashed.

Li Yunsheng was anxious.

“You, you can’t kill me, I’m a Bi Yun Peak Disciple, if you kill me, it violates Sect rules, my brother is a True Disciple, you…”

However, Li Yunsheng hadn't finished speaking when he was directly killed by Su Changqing’s sword, his corpses already laid out.

“You talk too much, unfortunately, I don’t particularly like listening.”

Su Changqing sneered, then his gaze turned to Li Xiaoxue and Wang Liang.

The two were already scared out of their wits.

Their eyes filled with endless fear.

One must know, the two strongest among the four had been taken care of by Su Changqing; how could the two of them be a match?

“I’m… I’m sorry, Junior Brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please don’t kill me.”

“Yes, yes, Junior Brother, don’t kill me, I have a good figure, how about I let you sleep with me?”

Li Xiaoxue still wanted to struggle, even willing to let Su Changqing sleep with her.

But unfortunately, Su Changqing merely gave a faint glance, then lost interest.

Average to above-average looks, ordinary figure.

Compared to Revered Master, she was nothing.

How could he, accustomed to fine food, accept such pig feed?

Even a dog wouldn’t want it.

He didn't waste any more words, thrusting his sword and directly killing Wang Liang.

The sole remaining Li Xiaoxue was now scared out of her wits, almost wetting herself, trembling uncontrollably from head to toe, her eyes not daring to look directly at Su Changqing’s body.

She had never seen such a brutal Outer Sect Disciple.

Too terrifying.

Su Changqing sneered and said:

“I’ll give you a chance to live.”

Li Xiaoxue’s eyes instantly lit up upon hearing this.

“You go to the cold pond and lure out that Heavenly Ice Python.”

Instantly, Li Xiaoxue’s bright eyes directly dimmed.

What the Hell!?

Why does this plot feel so familiar?
