Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

Behind the fallen body of Wei Xian, a youth in blue clothes appeared, handsome in features and calm in gaze, nonchalantly sending a stream of Sword Qi slashing towards Gong Caiyu.

”Thank you, young master.”

As the sore weakness in Gong Caiyu’s body vanished, her cheeks flushed with shame, and she quickly lifted the clothes on both sides of her shoulders to cover her chest.

”The Young Sect Leader... is dead?!”

The disciples of the Jindao School who were on guard heard the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground and instinctively looked back, only to see a body lying on the floor.

Everyone’s faces turned ashen, filled with horror and fear.

”Who are you?”

”How dare you assassinate the Young Sect Leader, you, your entire clan will pay the price!”

Immediately, all eyes turned to the youth in blue clothes as if seeing a life-saving straw, too lazy to investigate further, each wielding their weapons and madly encircling him.

Wei Xian was dead,

As his guards, they were undoubtedly doomed to die, their whole families would be held accountable!

Only by capturing these two suspects could there be a sliver of hope for survival!

”Young master...”

Despite knowing the other party’s formidable strength, Gong Caiyu couldn’t help but worry, wanting to run over and pick up her white sword.

Whoosh!

A faintly blue Talisman Sword flew out from Jiang Ding’s sleeve, tracing a winding arc, piercing through the throats of more than a dozen Inner Qi Realm Martial Artists of the Jindao School.

Before the others could react, the sword circled back, entering the remaining people’s throats, and the splattered red blood lined up into two parallel streaks.

Gong Caiyu, who was about to pick up her white sword, was stunned.

This was the second-ranked on the Dragon and Phoenix List, ’Dream Eating Sword Demon’!

”...The Sect Leader... won’t let you off...”

The only surviving Inner Qi Perfection Martial Artist from the Jindao School had a bit more tenacity in life, struggling to utter these words as the light faded from his eyes.

”Hmm, okay.”

Jiang Ding nodded, looking at Gong Caiyu and said softly, ”Do you know where the largest number of the Jindao School’s people are, Lady Gong?”

The inheritor of Master Qixuan’s Hundred Step Flying Sword, seeking revenge for the Qixuan School.

That makes sense, doesn’t it?

Without the Jindao School, your hand for collecting resources, will you show yourself?

”Yes!”

Gong Caiyu nodded emphatically, turning her head to hide the sudden tears welling up in her eyes.

”Caiyu knows.”

The two of them, one in front and the other behind, walked along the somewhat deserted streets due to the conflict between good and evil, occasionally encountering members of the Qingniugong and the Wolf God Cult fighting along the way.

Some wanted to stop them, but none hindered their pace.

”Young master, did you know? I followed the princess to Yuejing and met many new sisters. They are pretty and their conversations are so interesting...”

Gong Caiyu chattered incessantly about all the interesting things she had encountered these days while leading the way, visibly becoming brighter and more lively, her plump face full of relaxation.

The pace of Jiang Ding hesitated for a moment as he looked in one direction.

Following his gaze, Gong Caiyu saw two people fighting not far away; though both were in the Internal Qi Realm, their intense energy occasionally burst forth, easily tearing apart a house.

One person, with an eerie aura and ghostly movements, could puncture stone with a single finger point—his black finger force was extraordinary, and someone like Wei Xian would be proud to intercept him even ten times.

The third-ranked on the Dragon and Phoenix List, ’Half Ghost’ Wu Makong!

His opponent, naturally, was still the top-ranked on the Dragon and Phoenix List, ’Banished Immortal’ Li Qingyun, who was in a difficult position due to his omnipresent palm force, only able to maintain the situation by relying on his superior movement to continuously retreat and dodge.

Both of them naturally noticed Gong Caiyu, as their abilities to remember every remarkable person in Jianghu allowed them to recognize her instantly.

But after a mere glance, they moved on, focusing all their attention back on their fight.

Just a rank ninety-eight on the Dragon and Phoenix List, if not for the association with that person, they wouldn’t even spare her that glance...

Wait a minute!

That person!

Li Qingyun and Wu Makong’s bodies both shook simultaneously, turning their gaze towards the person by Gong Caiyu’s side.

Indeed, there stood a youth in blue clothes, giving them a look before departing.

The two nemeses did not continue their struggle.

”What cultivation method is he practicing...”

Wu Makong was filled with an uncertain dread, ”It was like this last time, I’ve reminded myself countless times, so why is it still like this, why do I subconsciously overlook him?”

”...I don’t know, but I’m sure he’s not one of yours.”

After pondering for a moment, Li Qingyun unleashed a palm strike, and countless swirling palm energies enveloped Wu Makong, as they once again clashed fiercely.

Beyond this place, battles of Xiantian level erupted in many areas of Yuejing, the fighters unleashing their true power.

”Young Master, that was Li Qingyun, the top of the Dragon and Phoenix List just now, many sisters are very fond of him,” Gong Caiyu said, clenching her fists in excitement.

”It would be nice if he could help us save mother as well.”

”But it’s also not so good, he has rivals too.”

”Yes.”

As they conversed, the two arrived in front of a grand and luxurious residence, surpassing even that of lords and marquises, on which hung a sign with the large characters ’Jindaobieyuan’, the Jindao School’s establishment in Yuejing.

”Who’s there?”

At the entrance, six Jindao School disciples who were constantly on alert also spotted Gong Caiyu, who made no attempt to conceal her killing intent.

”What brazen whore dares to cause trouble in front of our Jindao School...”

The leading disciple, who had reached the Great Achievement of Inner Qi, sneered condescendingly in response.

Whoosh!

A Talisman Sword, appearing from nowhere, pierced through his throat and then traced a winding arc through the throats of the other five.

Thud!

Almost simultaneously, six bodies collapsed to the ground, their eyes filled with bewilderment.

From beginning to end, they had not realized how they met their end.

Jiang Ding drew his sword, and a wave of sword qi cleaved through the heavy gate of Jindaobieyuan, triggering a loud alarm within. A multitude of Jindao School disciples reflexively sprang into action, converging on the school’s various masters inside.

”Interesting.”

Jiang Ding sheathed his sword, his eyes revealing a contemplative expression.

The Flying Sword and Art of Small Concealment seemed to pair unexpectedly well? Normally, once a Flying Sword was launched, the aura connected with its wielder would surely be discovered due to their close link, but the Art of Small Concealment was able to hide this connection.

Thus, it greatly expanded the tactical options available.

In a short span of time, dozens of Inner Qi Martial Artists and two at the pinnacle of Internal Qi Perfection had gathered inside Jindaobieyuan. Many were armed with imperial guards’ heavy crossbows designed to break Qi, all of them fixedly staring at the entrance.

Two Jindao School Elders at the peak of Internal Qi Perfection stood on the rooftop, noticing the youth in blue clothes who was no longer using concealment to hide after killing his enemies, a wary look in their eyes.

”Young Master Jiang, our Jindao School has had no enmity with you in the past, nor recent grievances. Why have you come to our Jindao School?”

Other outstanding individuals from the Dragon and Phoenix List could be disregarded, but how could they not recognize Jiang Ding, the Dream Eating Sword Demon who had overtly defeated the Ten Flower Sword Fairy, Wan Qianyu?

The tone of the eldest Jindao School member became somewhat more gentle.

”If a disciple within our ranks has offended you, feel free to deal with them as you see fit. Our Jindao School has never failed in upholding righteousness with friends from the Jianghu.”

”I am indebted to the Qixuan School.”

Jiang Ding stated calmly.

The expression of the Jindao School elder changed.

The legendary Ancestor Master Qixuan of the Qixuan School dominated the Jianghu with his Hundred Step Flying Sword.

Was this a vendetta for annihilating the sect?

”Fire the break-Qi crossbows, fire at—” the Jindao School elder shouted, turning ferocious.

Whoosh!

A faintly blue Talisman Sword, its presence previously unnoticed, suddenly streaked across his throat, silencing his command, then with a flash, pierced through the heart of another Inner Qi Perfection Martial Artist from the Jindao School.

The other disciples who had attempted to stand and shoot with the break-Qi crossbows felt a chilling sensation in their throats and the strength leaving their bodies, falling to the ground as the crossbows clattered down beside them.

”Run!”

”The Elders, they’re all dead!”

The remaining fighters and numerous physical realm disciples scattered in disarray.
