"Kid, you're getting a bit too arrogant. You really think my Blood Oath Sect has no one?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "I don't care whether you have people or not. Today I'm going to kill all of you and use your blood to console Ru Meng's spirit."
Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Zhenfei charged straight at Xia Mingcheng, every slash of the Boundless Blade Technique a killing move.
Xia Mingcheng exchanged over a dozen Techniques with Ling Zhenfei and felt an immense pressure; the changes in Ling Zhenfei's blade work were far too fierce.
There were even some Northern Spiritual Energy vortices circulating within his blade Techniques; the Northern Spiritual Energy vortices could dissolve an enormous amount of Northern Spiritual Energy.
Maybe your move was packed full of Northern Spiritual Energy, but under a Northern Spiritual Energy vortex you might not even be able to bring out half its power.
Yet right now Ling Zhenfei didn't think about any of that; he unleashed the Boundless Blade Technique, each strike toward Xia Mingcheng faster than the last.
Once he brought out this Boundless Blade Technique, it felt more and more familiar in his hands.
Ling Zhenfei himself felt increasingly at ease, whereas Xia Mingcheng grew more and more alarmed.
He could clearly sense how terrifying Ling Zhenfei was. Back on Xianling Mountain, when Blood Son went to capture the Eagle, they had already run into Ling Zhenfei.
But back then Ling Zhenfei's strength was still very weak; even with the four of them together, they weren't his match and fled in panic like stray dogs.
Yet now Ling Zhenfei's progress was too fast. From The Threshold Realm to the Chasing Heart Realm, and now his strength was about to step into the Chasing Heart Realm Mid-Stage.
To him this was simply unimaginable, because it had taken him about twenty years just to go from the Chasing Heart Realm Early-Stage to the Mid-Stage.
But Ling Zhenfei had gone from The Threshold Realm of the Dawen Realm to the Chasing Heart Realm Mid-Stage in what seemed like hardly any time at all.
The more he fought Ling Zhenfei, the more frightened Xia Mingcheng became, because he felt Ling Zhenfei's Techniques growing increasingly seasoned and vicious.
How could he know that he was actually feeding moves to Ling Zhenfei right now, letting Ling Zhenfei grow ever more familiar with the feel of the Boundless Blade Technique.
After exchanging several dozen Techniques in a row, Xia Mingcheng felt he could no longer hold on.
As a cultivator at the Chasing Heart Realm Early-Stage, he was actually being forced to retreat again and again by a junior; this was something he simply found hard to accept.
Xia Mingcheng knew he couldn't go on like this, so he shouted to the people around him, "Everyone, attack together and kill this brat!"
There were still quite a few people from the Blood Oath Sect nearby; hearing Xia Mingcheng's shout, they all charged at Ling Zhenfei.
By now Ling Zhenfei had gained a new understanding of the Boundless Blade Technique. Even though so many people rushed at him, he felt no fear at all.
"I said anyone who blocks my path dies!"
As he spoke, he exerted strength in his hands and launched an attack at those around him.
But at this moment Xia Mingcheng had already leaped out of the battle circle, dragging Blood Son with him as they fled into the distance.
Ling Zhenfei hadn't expected Xia Mingcheng to be so shameless, abandoning his own sect disciples and running off with Blood Son.
At this time all the Blood Oath Sect members were attacking Ling Zhenfei, among them cultivators in the Chasing Heart Realm.
Ling Zhenfei didn't hesitate. To finish them quickly, he used a Soul Attack combined with the Boundless Blade Technique, and even Sky Piercing Finger—every Technique he could use was brought out.
With one slash of the Sky-Splitting Ten Blades, the two Chasing Heart Realm cultivators tried to block with their Heart-pursuing Items, but how could they possibly withstand Ling Zhenfei's blade?
That one strike sent the two of them flying; Northern Spiritual Energy blazed and danced around the Tang sword in his hand. Though the enemy's numbers were large, their Northern Spiritual Energy simply could not break through his Northern Spiritual Energy vortex.
Ling Zhenfei had truly gone blood-crazed at this point; with every rise and fall of his blade, in no time at all all those Blood Oath Sect people were cut down and lying on the ground.
Dead or crippled, not a single one was left standing.
In the distance, Du E was so shocked he could barely speak, unable to believe things had progressed to this point.
Originally their Du Family had been allied with the Blood Oath Sect, yet now the Blood Oath Sect had actually been slaughtered to the last by Ling Zhenfei alone. In Du E's eyes, Ling Zhenfei at this moment was like a demon.
Even if Du E and the other Four Young Masters were powerful, they were no more than Chasing Heart Realm Early-Stage, but after clashing Northern Spiritual Energy with Ling Zhenfei just now he realized Ling Zhenfei's cultivation surpassed his.
It was simply baffling. Back on Wuliang Mountain they had already met; at that time Ling Zhenfei had already been at The Threshold Realm.
Back then, anyone who reached The Threshold Realm was bound to step into the Chasing Heart Realm later, already considered very strong; but Du E hadn't thought too much of it, because while The Threshold Realm was rare, there were still quite a few in the Jianghu.
But after coming to this Foreign Land, what had happened was completely beyond his imagination.
He had thought Blood Son was a rare talent to begin with, especially after witnessing Blood Son's Bloody Evil Technique, which made him believe Blood Son was the strongest of their generation.
At least he himself hadn't found a good way to deal with it, yet today Blood Son actually lost to Ling Zhenfei, and lost miserably.
He even abandoned his own disciples and fled; as for the remaining Blood Oath Sect members, if Ling Zhenfei hadn't held back a bit, they'd probably all be dead.
Ling Zhenfei took one glance at Du E, then chased in the direction where Blood Son and the other had fled.
He released his Divine Sense, wanting to locate the two, but at this moment they had already fled far away like stray dogs.
But no matter how far they ran, Ling Zhenfei would chase them.
Ling Zhenfei stepped into the Blooming Step Technique underfoot and chased in their direction.
Originally Ling Zhenfei had come to rescue Ru Meng; rescuing Ru Meng would have been the end of it.
But now Ru Meng had actually been killed by Blood Son, and in a way he simply couldn't accept.
So now Ling Zhenfei's goal had become Blood Son—killing Blood Son would be the completion of his objective.
As Ling Zhenfei pursued, he discovered that Blood Son and Xia Mingcheng had actually vanished.
His Divine Sense could no longer detect them.
This puzzled Ling Zhenfei. How could that be? Just a moment ago his Divine Sense had clearly sensed them fleeing in this direction; how could he suddenly be unable to sense them now?
Divine Sense, by rights, was something that absolutely couldn't be evaded—unless there was some special method to conceal oneself.
Like a Concealment Pill, or some kind of Cultivation Technique, or maybe they'd found a cave and gone inside.
Ling Zhenfei was very puzzled; he summoned the Lightning Bird, and once again took to the sky.
Riding on the Lightning Bird's back, he kept searching the ground below as they flew.
He reached the place where Blood Son and the other had last disappeared, but no matter how he searched, the two of them were simply gone without a trace.
Ling Zhenfei was extremely frustrated. How could two living people just vanish?
Unwilling to give up, Ling Zhenfei kept riding the Lightning Bird, searching the area again and again. But no matter how he searched, he still couldn't find those two.
Ling Zhenfei kept searching like this for a very long time; it was already dark, and he still hadn't found any trace of them.
