Chapter 273: Killing Priest Compassionless! Prestigious Sects?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ling Yun had managed to kidnap Sun Xing when he was facing the four alone. How could he be incompetent?
He acted incompetent on purpose — to lure Miao Xiaomiao into the battle!
Dugu Mo fought one-on-one with He Xingyan. They were both at Houtian Realm Level Eight, but He Xingyan was far more experienced given his age. That alone should have given him a natural advantage.However, his right arm severely handicapped him since it was poisoned by Xiao Jin. They were therefore evenly matched.
Miao Xiaomiao was only at Houtian Realm Level Six, but she had Xiao Jin. Xiao Jin was her personal superior golden silkworm, which she could deploy like an extended arm. Liu Deming, on the other hand, was at Houtian Realm Level 7. He could not use his power to the fullest since he had to guard against Xiao Jin and Miao Xiaomiao’s poison attacks. They were also evenly matched.
Miao Xiaomiao’s original motive was to save Ling Yun. She was not here to kill anyone and did not invoke the use of poison. If she had, Liu Deming would have lost long ago.
Little White circled around Priestess Heartless with lighting speed, not allowing her to approach Ling Yun.
Ling Yun was left facing Priest Compassionless and could finally go all out against him!
“Baldy! Weren’t you the first one who wanted to kill me? Too bad for you; Lady Luck is smiling upon me now! You will be celebrating your death anniversary on Qingming Festival next year in hell!”
Ling Yun escaped the attack from Priest Compassionless’s staff yet again. He lifted his left arm and shot out a dozen steel nails, scattering them in the direction of Priest Compassionless’s vital meridian points!Priest Compassionless could not avoid them. He was too close and his burns hindered his movements. He could only deflect the incoming steel nails away with his staff as much as he could!
“B*stard! How dare you use such a sneaky trick!” Priest Compassionless howled but could do nothing against Ling Yun.
Ling Yun circled freely around the struggling Priest Compassionless with his Thousand Miles Godly Steps while continuing to absorb spiritual energy from Little White. “Stupid Baldy, the four of you ganged up on me just now. Ain’t you lot the sneaky ones?”
Ling Yun went behind Priest Compassionless in a flash with his Dragon Fish Phantom Ability and unleashed his secret weapons onto Priest Compassionless!
Pu pu pu—!
Ling Yun attacked with a two-pronged approach — Flying Needles from the left and Steel Nails from the right!
Priest Compassionless was caught off guard. He swayed around wildly, trying to defend himself. However, there were just too many of them! Some eventually found their way into Priest Compassionless’s leg.
Under normal circumstances, Priest Compassionless would have been fine as long as he managed to protect his vital parts. Ling Yun’s secret weapons would not have been able to make so much as a dent on Priest Compassionless.
However, his skin had been burnt away on most parts of his body, so he was extremely vulnerable.
Two needles and a steel nail burrowed themselves deep into Priest Compassionless’s raw flesh without resistance.
Priest Compassionless collapsed as his knees gave way.
“Excellent opportunity!” Ling Yun murmured to himself as he used the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability once again to get behind Priest Compassionless. He released five steel nails from each hand into Priest Compassionless’s back!
Nothing could have saved Priest Compassionless from this. Ten steel nails, each two inches long, sank into the vital parts of Priest Compassionless’s back!
“Go to hell! Vault of Heaven Fist!” Ling Yun unleashed a final attack and cruelly landed his fist onto Priest Compassionless’s back, next to his heart.
“Ugh… argh…”
Priest Compassionless’s eyeballs burst, and blood splattered at high velocity from all of his holes.
His staff fell with a loud thud!
Priest Compassionless’s body slumped lifeless like a huge lump of meat.
“Did you really think that I couldn’t kill you?” Ling Yun sneered before turning towards Priestess Heartless.
“Your meat stick is dead, old lady! I will send you to him now!”
Ling Yun shouted and appeared in a flash towards Priestess Heartless!
“Back off, Little White!”
Priest Compassionless was from the prestigious Shaolin Sect. Ling Yun could have just restrained Priest Compassionless, but he killed him mercilessly, without knowing Priest Compassionless’s background. His brutal nature struck fear into Priestess Heartless.
“Ling Yun, you little thief. You are making an enemy out of all the prestigious martial arts sects by killing Priest Compassionless!” Priestess Heartless swung her fly-whisk at Ling Yun while shouting at the same time.
“Prestigious martial arts sect? Why didn’t any of you mention anything about coming from a prestigious sect when you ganged up on me just now?” Ling Yun snorted.
“Robbing a common woman from her husband, seeking to kill someone when things don’t go your way, you really have the guts to call yourselves prestigious!”
Ling Yun lost no time shooting his Flying Needles as he retorted.
Priestess Heartless dodged Ling Yun’s attack easily. She was agile and an expert in Qinggong.
Ling Yun smiled faintly. “Were you going to rationalize killing me — and push all the blame to me — as a greater good for the common people?”
These tactics were too common in the Cultivation World. Ling Yun struck again, not wanting to waste another breath with Priestess Heartless.
Ling Yun was running low on the needles and started using steel nails instead.
A dozen steel nails were sent flying towards Priestess Heartless, forcing her to dodge yet again. Ling Yun took this chance to sneak up behind Liu Deming with his Dragon Fish Phantom Ability.
Ling Yun’s Dragon Fish Phantom Ability was invincible as long as an endless supply of spiritual energy was available.
Ling Yun slammed two Fire Talismans onto Liu Deming’s back and chanted softly, “Come!”
Two red flames the size of basketballs started burning wildly!
Liu Deming was busy dealing with Miao Xiaomiao and Xiao Jin. He was caught off guard by Ling Yun’s sudden diversion of attention onto him. He took out a yellow talisman charm with great haste, pasted it onto his back and started chanting.
A blue ball of liquid bigger than that of the red flame appeared and extinguished the fire immediately.
“Is this what you call a prestigious sect? Priest Liu clearly had talisman charms that could extinguish the fire on Priest Compassionless but refused to use them! What do you have to say about that?” Ling Yun said sarcastically.
Priestess Heartless could not counter the truth laid bare in front of her. Liu Deming had only used four of his talisman charms to put out the fires on Priest Compassionless’ vital areas. Ling Yun had every right to be sarcastic since Liu Deming still had something up his sleeve.
There was a whole world of difference between him and Ling, Yun who had done his best to save his gang!
Dugu Mo burst out laughing in the middle of his heated battled with He Xingyan upon hearing Ling Yun’s argument. “You are right. How could these lowlife rubbish be from prestigious sects?”
Dugu Mo was from a secluded sect and understood these principles in their simplest forms. He was in full agreement with Ling Yun and started to admire his character.
Dugu Mo was also amazed at Ling Yun’s ability to survive the attacks from these four powerful masters.
He even started to wonder what would happen if he were to fight Ling Yun head-on in the future.
Dugu Mo knew he had underestimated Ling Yun after fighting so close alongside him. Ling Yun was only at Houtian Realm Level Five and had excellent command over his movements, his secret weapons and Fire Talismans.
Liu Deming had extinguished the flames in time, but that hadn’t prevented him from being torched for a few seconds. He recognized the fact that Ling Yun was much faster than him. He would definitely be at the losing end if he were to fight Ling Yun solo. His heart sank at this realization.
“Priestess Heartless, don’t listen to this b*stard. He has fallen to the evil path. We should represent our prestigious sects and exterminate this ruthless pest to society!” Liu Deming coaxed Priestess Heartless.
“Priestess Heartless, look at his aides. This fox is definitely a fox spirit. That masked lady over there must be a poison user from Miaojiang. She has raised a superior golden silkworm, which is the sign of chaos in the world!”
“Rubbish!”
Miao Xiaomiao flew towards Liu Deming in outrage before Ling Yun could even retort!
