Lin Luochen threw a few Talismans to Murong Xiazhu and said indifferently, “Those people up there are yours.”
He couldn't be as light-footed as Murong Xiazhu, so chasing was more suitable for her.
Anyway, he had Murong Qiuzhi, so he wasn't afraid of her running away!
Murong Xiazhu glanced at Murong Qiuzhi, hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
“You take good care of Qiu Zhi!”
She lightly tapped her toes, harnessing the strong wind, and soared towards the mountain like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Lin Luochen looked at Murong Qiuzhi in the carriage, feeling a bit troubled.
He couldn't touch this woman, and leaving her here risked her being kidnapped. How was he supposed to take her to kill enemies?
Seeing the black-clad figures begin to scatter, Lin Luochen steeled his heart and extended his hand to her.
“Let’s go!”
Murong Qiuzhi looked at Lin Luochen, who was reaching out to her from above, and asked blankly, “Where?”
Lin Luochen said calmly, “I’m taking you to kill people.”
Murong Qiuzhi was stunned for a moment, then hesitated before reaching out and taking his hand.
Lin Luochen pulled her up, and Murong Qiuzhi gasped as he wrapped an arm around her slender waist.
“Hold me tight, don’t move!”
Hearing Lin Luochen's words, Murong Qiuzhi blushed and wrapped her arms around his waist, trying to lessen his burden.
Murong Xiazhu, who was soaring upwards, looked back and almost dropped her jaw.
No, buddy, aren't you really afraid of death!
Lin Luochen felt the green lotus shaking again and knew he had to act quickly.
He endured the humiliation, took out a long sword, channeled his spiritual power to his feet, and directly leaped outwards.
Although Lin Luochen couldn't be as light-footed as Murong Xiazhu, taking strides of several zhang was easy for him.
Those black-clad figures had long been terrified and only wanted to escape, but they simply couldn't outrun him.
Lin Luochen swung the long sword in his hand, and a pale green Sword Qi shot out, like the legendary Sword Qi Release.
Several slower black-clad figures were injured by the invisible Sword Qi, falling heavily to the ground and repeatedly begging for mercy.
“Young Master, spare us!”
“We were only following orders!”
...
Lin Luochen remained expressionless, his hand rising and sword falling, as he continued to pursue the remaining few.
Even if the other party had a myriad of difficulties, what did that have to do with him?
If their positions were reversed, would the enemy feel pity for him and show mercy?
Seeing no escape, those black-clad figures shouted, “Let’s fight him!”
This was exactly what Lin Luochen wanted. He unleashed Qingping Swordplay, his Sword Qi continuously flowing, like entering an uninhabited realm.
Although it was his first time using Qingping Swordplay against an enemy, he quickly grasped the knack, improving steadily and wielding it with ease.
Although there were still a few Qi Refining Early Stage Cultivators on the field, they were no match for Lin Luochen.
Lin Luochen slaughtered his way through the field, invincible, cutting down one person with a few sword strokes.
If he weren't holding Murong Qiuzhi, causing him to make occasional mistakes, there might not have been a single living person left on the field.
Murong Qiuzhi didn't look at the bloody scene, but simply stared at Lin Luochen's profile, lost in thought.
This guy actually wasn't afraid of her Physique; he seemed a bit interesting!
She hoped he really wouldn't die!
Lin Luochen had no idea of her wild thoughts; he was concentrating on slaying the enemies.
It had to be said, with a beauty in his arms, his thoughts were exceptionally clear, and his posture in killing enemies was much more dashing.
Lin Luochen secretly warned himself that showing off in front of a beauty was not a good habit.
A moment later, almost all the black-clad figures on the field had been subdued, with only two Qi Refining Early Stage Cultivators fleeing for their lives.
After Lin Luochen killed one of them, he threw the long sword in his hand at the last person, but missed.
'Damn, that's some bad luck!'
Lin Luochen threw more than a dozen long knives before finally killing the black-clad figure who was almost riddled with holes.
“Brother, I don’t know if I’m unlucky, or if you are.”
Lin Luochen cautiously made a sweep of knives, leaving no survivors and asking no questions about their reasons.
Because he didn't want to get involved in the Murong sisters' affairs; he just wanted to get the ascension token and leave quickly.
It wasn't until Lin Luochen had destroyed the bodies that Murong Xiazhu returned, panting.
Seeing that both of them were safe, she let out a long sigh, then looked at Lin Luochen with a strange expression.
'What is this kid's background? How is he so resilient?'
Murong Qiuzhi was currently reciting sutras for Zhou Yi, her expression solemn, her eyes somewhat dim and helpless.
Lin Luochen leaned against the carriage, wiping his Broken Blade. Seeing Murong Xiazhu return, he said indifferently, “The ascension token!”
Murong Xiazhu’s smile froze, and she said awkwardly, “The ascension token is at my home. If you come back with me, I…”
Lin Luochen let out a long breath, injecting spiritual power into his Broken Blade. His eyes were icy, and his tone was extremely calm.
“I knew I couldn’t trust you. Do you have any last words?”
Murong Xiazhu quickly said, “I can swear, there really is an ascension token at my home. It was left to us sisters by our parents.”
Lin Luochen’s lips curved into a sneer, and the killing intent in his eyes grew stronger.
“Do you think I’ll still believe you?”
“Young Master, don’t be impulsive!”
Seeing this, Murong Qiuzhi quickly spread her arms, blocking Murong Xiazhu.
“My sister is telling the truth. Our parents really did leave each of us sisters an ascension token.”
“Anyway, I can’t Cultivate, so I can give my ascension token to Young Master!”
Murong Xiazhu was so scared her face turned pale. She quickly dragged her back and glared at her.
“One person’s actions are their own responsibility. If you come back with us, I will definitely give you an ascension token!”
She knew very well that this guy wouldn't show mercy to women; offending him would truly mean death!
Lin Luochen scoffed, “From what you’re saying, your parents must no longer be around.”
“If I’m not mistaken, these people were sent by your clan to assassinate you, right?”
“They don’t want to give you the ascension token at all, and you still want to trick me into being your bodyguard?”
Murong Xiazhu was dumbfounded. How was this kid so smart!
Murong Qiuzhi, however, was unusually calm and confessed, “Young Master is right, these people were indeed sent by clan members.”
“But this is only the intention of a few elders, and it doesn’t represent all the clan members!”
“According to clan rules, this ascension token must be given to us sisters when we come of age.”
“As long as we return safely, they will have to give it to us, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.”
“Qiu Zhi swears on her life that as long as we return safely, she will give Young Master an ascension token at all costs!”
“Young Master is powerful; protecting us should be effortless. Why not do it?”
Lin Luochen chuckled, “I didn’t realize you were so eloquent, but I don’t trust you!”
Murong Qiuzhi once again firmly blocked Murong Xiazhu, biting her red lip lightly and saying, “Then Young Master, kill me too!”
“You think I wouldn’t dare?”
Lin Luochen lightly raised his hand, and a bloody glow appeared on the Broken Blade in his hand.
“Move aside, or I won’t be polite!”
Murong Qiuzhi merely closed her eyes. Murong Xiazhu quickly dragged her behind her.
“Hey, you, don’t be impulsive. Everyone who tries to kill Qiu Zhi dies a violent death!”
“One person’s actions are their own responsibility. If you really want to kill, kill me, don’t touch Qiu Zhi.”
