Chapter 6: I Want to Live Too
With each sword strike, the power of heaven and earth converges upon Luo Li, doubling his speed and strength compared to before
At this moment, Xiao Qing is no longer the woman who resembled a venomous snake; she has transformed into the gentle junior sister that Luo Li once knew.
Luo Li slowly drew out his long sword and shouted loudly
Luo Li listened intently; when the other party mentioned the Luo family disciples, a glimmer of cold light appeared in his eyes, revealing a hint of murderous intent
Divine abilities are of utmost importance. In the Central Heavenly Realm, only beneath the Daoist body and celestial bones can one possess divine abilities. Major sects will compete to absorb such disciples.
This sword, its light is clear and swift as lightning. The fierce dragon extends its hand to block, using its own divine power to intercept this sword. This block is not simple; it contains seven major transformations and thirteen minor transformations, which can undoubtedly stop this sword
One must look forward; let the past be the past. I am a killer. I am sorry, but I will remember you. However, you must die
In fact, you are mistaken; I also possess supernatural abilities!
A sentence was left unfinished, blood spurted out, and the fierce dragon fell to the ground, dead
Brother Luo Li, you must live well, live on our behalf, do not die like us, leave this cage, and live well...
The sound abruptly ceased, Xiao Qing died, her face filled with the anticipation of life and the unwillingness to accept death
Luo Li shook his head and replied
Senior brother, I know that when we were young, you treated me well, considering me as your younger sister. You saved me many times, but one must look forward in life. Let the past remain in the past. In order to survive, I can only do this
Xiao Qing gripped the sword's edge tightly, her hands bleeding profusely, yet she could not alter her fate. She looked at Luo Li, and the intense pain, anger, and hatred contorted her face completely
I have long wanted to spit on you! We are assassins, we commit all kinds of evil, we kill women, children, and infants, our hearts are dark, yet you go about doing good deeds, acting as a good person, upholding justice on behalf of heaven, I spit!
Piercing through, entering the front chest, exiting the back chest, feeling a refreshing chill
Then he said in a low voice: "I am sorry, but I have to do this. I want to live as well. You know too much. If you do not die, my father and I will not be able to leave this soulless land..."
That's enough, after all, we are on the same side, so let's not engage in these pretenses. In any case, I still possess seven merits that can punish evil
Mighty Dragon, Little Green, Heaven above, Earth below! The evidence of the crime is established, and punishment for evil is imminent
The fierce dragon laughed and said: "Hahaha, yes, Senior Brother Luoli, the way of heaven kills. Since you enjoy doing good deeds so much, why not let us kill you and fulfill our wishes? This is also a good deed!"
The reason is simple: my divine power is to reward the good and punish the evil
Xiao Qing shook her head and said
In the fourth month of the sixth year of Zongzhen, you assassinated the lord of the Thirteen Linked Forts, Elder Tianli, and killed twenty-one of his guards
Junior Sister, we grew up together and committed assassinations together. I remember that I have saved you at least three times. Tell me, why must you kill me?
Luo Li, I am sorry, I am sorry, I did not know! Had I known it would be like this, I would never have betrayed you
Hiding one's true abilities?" Luo Li shook his head and chuckled.
"Brother Luo Li, Brother Luo Li, do I also have to die like Da Li and Er Hu?"
The sound that only Luo Li can hear gradually dissipates in the wind
After speaking, two strange energies were released from Luo Li's body. These energies merged with the heavens and the earth, attracting the extraordinary power descending from the sky, which then fell upon Luo Li.
Luo Li's strength surged dramatically, and it is precisely for this reason that Luo Li could easily slay thirty-one powerful figures; this is Luo Li's true trump card
At the moment when Xiao Qing leaped, the three guards who were defeated by Luo Li all let out terrible screams and died on the spot. Regardless of the outcome of the situation, this time, there could be no survivors. Therefore, Xiao Qing began to eliminate witnesses; otherwise, if the matter were to be exposed, the Tian Jue Sha Hall would be most averse to internal strife, and they would face the extreme punishment of three stabs and six holes.
Ha ha, whatever, you are doomed
Luo Li let out a breath and said slowly
However, the Raptors are different. He is like me; we both possess extraordinary abilities. In the sect, we can support each other and survive together. Being with him is definitely more viable than being with you. In order to survive, I have chosen him
Due to this blood energy, many individuals born on the mainland possess extraordinary abilities. The snake training of Xiao Qing and the transformation of the fierce dragon into a violent beast are all related to this. It is precisely for this reason that the Seven Kills Sect established a branch here, to absorb the local populace into the outer sect of the sect
What?
Since you truly wish to kill me and have shown no mercy, do not blame me any longer
The sword light danced gracefully, and with a gentle touch, it instantly severed the little Qing's snake whip. After the thirteenth sword, the little Qing's snake whip was completely destroyed; after the sixteenth sword, the little Qing's divine powers were shattered. By the nineteenth sword, it caught up with the fleeing little Qing and pierced through her heart.
"With death looming, you still play this game. Stop the nonsense! You are truly foolish; do you really think you can act on behalf of heaven? Will the heavens assist you?"
She could not help but take a step back, averting her gaze, unable to face Luo Li's eyes
The Raptors had rehearsed this attack on Luo Li countless times. In response to this sword strike, he had eighteen different methods at his disposal. However, he did not underestimate it and chose to counter this sword using the safest approach.
Therefore, I never kill anyone recklessly; it is for the purpose of killing better! Because using supernatural powers consumes one of my merits with each person I kill, I must do good deeds everywhere to accumulate merits!
Those who cultivate immortality in the world must possess spiritual roots in order to practice. The reason why Luo Li and the others can become official disciples is that they all possess spiritual roots, which is why only they have the opportunity to participate in the Ascension Conference
Tell me
Striding forward with great determination, without pausing for a moment, his expression remained unchanged, still so resolute, yet tears flowed from the corners of his eyes
Brother Luo Li, I was wrong. Can you forgive me? From now on, I will listen to you completely. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it! I am still a virgin, and I will follow your every instruction!
Luo Li thrust his sword towards the fierce dragon
The most critical point is that you have no abilities whatsoever. Without abilities, you are like a toothless tiger, not worth mentioning! Therefore, you must die!
Do not forget. I am also an assassin. How can our paths be so different
Luo Li drew his sword and continued to strike
Heaven above! Earth below! Evil doers face justice, punishment is at hand
Who taught me the art of the Thousand Serpent Venom, who granted me the ability to train snakes, I am the serpent, ingratitude is my nature
Senior Brother Luo Li, the way of heaven kills? Bah!
Then Luo Li struck again with his sword. This strike, like a fierce dragon, left Hetushu.com devoid of fighting spirit, desperately fleeing. However, this sword strike was twice as fast as before, instantly piercing through his heart
When we were young, we were together; at that time, you carried me out of the land of death, and you promised that you would take care of me for a lifetime
Survive? Survive! You betrayed me to survive, and I too must survive, so I can only kill you
All of this completely exceeded the imagination of the two of them. In an instant, this sword once again pierced through all the resistance of the fierce dragon, stabbing into its chest.
Drawing the sword, blood splattered everywhere. The fierce dragon desperately clutched its chest, staring blankly at Luo Li, and said: "This is impossible, this is impossible! You, you, you have concealed your strength!"
In the sixth year of Zongzhen, in the month of May
The fierce dragon said: "Hahaha, Brother Luo Li, the Heavenly Dao kills, you are done for, aren't you! This combined attack technique has been prepared specifically for you for over a year, utilizing the powers of both of us to specifically counter you.
Luo Li nodded slightly and said, "Yes, yes..."
Over there, the fierce dragon growled low, its body swelling violently, doubling in size, transforming into a beast. On its hands, blood-red beastly claws, each three feet long, emerged, indestructible. This was his divine ability, the Tyrant Transformation.
You have not considered it
Luo Li, upon hearing the other person's words, displayed a peculiar expression on his face and said
I truly do not understand. How could you hide your true identity among the collateral branches of the Luo family? Are you a native of the Silver State continent? Are you really a descendant of the Luo family? Yet, you are clearly a person from outside the Silver State continent
Your heart is pure, you are a good person, you are different from us, and since our paths do not align, Xiao Qing chose me
Xiao Qing's heart was shaken, and she leaped backward, moving like a snake, quickly distancing herself from Luo Li. She and the fierce dragon formed a defensive stance, warily watching Luo Li.
Her gaze was filled with an indescribable plea, as gentle as that of a kitten
This sword is the Quick Sword One, a single thrust, simple yet fierce, channeling the entirety of one's strength into a single strike, aimed to kill
I truly want to live on
In her hands were twelve venomous snakes, each measuring over thirteen feet in length, gleaming and shining like silver whips. These were highly toxic serpents, cultivated through a special secret method, guaranteed to be fatal upon biting. This was precisely the Killing Whip Technique of the Seven Kills Eighteen Methods. Xiao Qing integrated her divine powers into her martial arts, using the snakes as whips, which became her ultimate weapon
The fierce dragon looked at Luo Li with a gaze full of hatred. Suddenly, his hatred vanished, and he smiled as he said
Luo Li's tone was so nonchalant, as if devoid of any emotion, yet hidden within it were questions and anger deeply buried inside, which only Xiao Qing, who understood her equally well, could perceive
As long as I designate you as the villain, one of my virtuous deeds will attract the power of heaven and earth, granting me strength; my sword will become faster, fiercer, more ruthless, and more venomous
In an instant, both the fierce dragon and the little green shouted, "Impossible!"
Once again, a sword strikes, the fierce dragon resists wildly, and Xiao Qing comes to assist. However, this sword is too swift, being fully twice as fast as Luo Li's previous attacks. At the same time, the power of this sword has also surged by a factor of two
The two sides immediately engaged in battle, with flashes of swords and shadows of claws, like venomous snakes. In the blink of an eye, they exchanged over thirty rounds of combat before separating. Luo Li gasped for breath as he looked at the other two.
Heaven above, Earth below
Is the distinction between black and white really that clear? Is supernatural ability truly that important?
I have killed both of you, and I still have five merits left! This is the only secret you did not know, which is why you are dead
Listening to Luo Li's accusation, the fierce dragon laughed and said
Dali, Erhu, and their companions from Luoli did not undergo the Shadow Kill trial and all perished
Having spoken, Luo Li pointed at Meng Long and Xiao Qing, shouting:
Having spoken, Luo Li drew his sword, swift as the wind, fierce as a tiger, venomous as a snake, ruthless as a wolf, and launched a frenzied assault on Xiao Qing
Then he said maliciously: "Even if you do not cooperate, we are not afraid. We have thoroughly understood everything about you, the fierce sword technique you have just mastered, the auxiliary secret methods you possess, everything about you, we are all exceedingly familiar with.
As life gradually fades away, when a person is about to die, there is a moment of reflection. Gradually, the intense pain, anger, and hatred dissipate, and Xiao Qing's face returns to normal. She looks at Luo Li and says
Then Luo Li looked at Xiao Qing, who was completely stunned. As she gazed at Luo Li, she finally came to her senses. She forced a smile and said:
The Silver Continent, devoid of spiritual energy, is a land without spirit. However, the earth within it contains peculiar blood essence, and it is home to a special type of blood ore, which is used for refining weapons
Every time I perform a good deed, a certain power accumulates within me, which I refer to as benevolent merit. Once I gather enough complete benevolent merit, I can initiate a punishment for evil and eliminate an enemy
The extraordinary power of the universe on Luo Li dissipated, and then he turned and left
In fact, you are still mistaken; my heart is not yet dark...
Luo Li looked at Xiao Qing, who averted his gaze, the killing intent growing stronger
At this moment, the nearby dragon shouted:
Have you never considered why I perform a good deed every day, why I act on behalf of heaven to uphold justice, and punish evil?
Senior Brother, Luo Li, you are too kind-hearted; you should not be an assassin. In this world, good people do not receive their due rewards
I know that your swordsmanship is quite formidable, but without supernatural powers, we can use this to suppress you and kill you. Therefore, you are doomed to die today
Observing the two of them strike, Luo Li swung his long sword, and in a flash of sword light, the swift blade cut through the air, aiming directly at the fierce dragon, Little Qing.
If you do not die, and I enter the Outer Sect of the Seven Kills Sect with you through the Ascension Conference, given your kind nature, how long do you think you could survive in the sect
However, it did not block Luo Li's sword. All changes, whether significant or minor, were rendered ineffective. The fierce dragon was taken aback and hurriedly defended itself, but it was still futile. In that instant, a single sword pierced through the fierce dragon's divine abilities, stabbing three inches into its chest.
Xiao Qing smiled sadly and said, "I do not blame you; it is I who betrayed Brother Luo Li. I just want to survive, forgive us...
So that's how it is, you do good deeds for this reason! It turns out you also have your own tricks, just like us, you are also heartless. Hahaha, I do not die in vain...
Mighty Dragon and Little Green, in the third month of the sixth year of Zongzhen, you assassinated the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, Old Black Ma, and killed seventeen of his guards
Luo Li looked at Xiao Qing, his gaze conveying an indescribable feeling. He slowly said:
Qing, who understood Luo Li exceptionally well, suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She said, "Mighty Dragon, stop the nonsense and send Senior Brother Luo Li on his way!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Li laughed heartily. After laughing, he shook his head and said
Including your thirteen hidden identities, among which the most important concealed identity is that of your substitute, Xiao Qi, who takes your place outside, as well as your little maid, all of which we are aware of
I said, I also possess supernatural abilities
