Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Female Lead Stays Out of It - Chapter 41: Peerless Under Heaven 3

In the Eastern Tang Continent, a Grandmaster, with their overwhelmingly powerful strength, was enough to build an empire; a Half-step Grandmaster, though slightly inferior in strength, could also establish a sect and dominate a region. Grandmasters were only a handful, about five people, and could be called as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, but Half-step Grandmasters were also not numerous; across the entire continent, there were only a dozen or so. The one coming today was the fourth elder of Lianyun City; in terms of equal strength, Lianyun City had also recruited six more, which shows how terrifying Lianyun City was in the Eastern Tang Continent.

There was a common saying among the people that went like this: “The Heavenly Lianyun City, the Earthly Forbidden City.” Compared to Lianyun City, the all-powerful imperial family didn’t seem so noble, which was why the imperial family’s children fought secretly to the death for the qualifications to go to Lianyun City to cultivate.

Hearing that Lianyun City had sent a Half-step Grandmaster to exterminate them, He Chongling didn’t show any panic at all, he waved his wide sleeves and said coldly, “Go, let’s go out and see!”

When the crowd arrived outside the hall, they saw that the bottom of the mountain was already densely surrounded by people, and they would soon be attacking.

“Sect Leader, there are too many people, and there are also many top masters assisting. What should we do?” The Right Protector, although trying to stay calm, still had a trembling voice. According to the current situation, they couldn’t win the fight; it was better to run away as soon as possible. Fortunately, there were many secret passages underground, and most of the sect members could escape along those secret passages.

“What do you mean what to do? Come, set up the formation, and follow this deity out to fight!” He Chongling shouted through gritted teeth.

The sect members drew their swords, their eyes filled with determination. It was at this moment that a deep voice resounded in the air, “Listen to the orders of the Eastern Saint Sect members, if you hand over He Chongling’s head with both hands, this one will spare your lives; if you disobey, kill without mercy!”

This voice came from the distant foot of the mountain, but it seemed to be echoing in their ears, also with a powerful inner force, which made people’s eardrums ache, their bl00d surging, and it was very uncomfortable. Even more, those sect members with low martial arts levels were bleeding from their seven orifices and died on the spot. Even first-rate masters like He Chongling and the Right Protector couldn’t help but reveal a look of pain.

He Yufei suddenly spat out a mouthful of bl00d, but didn’t care about resisting, and quickly ran to Bai Yan’s side, covering his ears with both hands. Bai Yan’s always calm eyes unexpectedly revealed a hint of a smile, and his fingertips lightly tapped, and He Yufei’s surging bl00d qi was instantly calmed. She let out a light sound of surprise, pretending to be astonished, but didn’t think deeply, only thinking that the Half-step Grandmaster had withdrawn his inner force, and she wasn’t so uncomfortable.

Everyone was busy taking care of themselves, so they didn’t notice that, when everyone was struggling, only Lin Dan was standing in a corner, watching coldly with a large knife, and there was no sign of pain on her face. The Half-step Grandmaster’s pressure was fatal to others, but to her, it was just an ordinary voice, and it was fine to just listen to it.

Every moment, she had to fight with the vital energy in her body, enduring unimaginable pain to others, so the suppression from the outside was naturally insignificant.

How terrifying the Half-step Grandmaster’s strength was, the Eastern Saint Sect members couldn’t imagine before, but after today, they finally saw it. The other person hadn’t even made a move, just said a word casually, and could instantly kill so many martial artists. How would he be after he really made a move? It was no exaggeration to say that he alone today was enough to flatten the Eastern Saint Sect.

The sect members were afraid, they were intimidated, and they turned to look at He Chongling one after another, and some people’s eyes darted around, their gazes flickering, and they had already started to have evil thoughts. Someone shouted, “Escape,” so the killing formation that had just been set up collapsed, and the sect members scattered and fled in all directions, in a state of chaos.

The Half-step Grandmaster leaped to the top of the mountain gate, and with a long-distance palm strike, only a loud bang was heard, and the fleeing sect members were instantly turned into puffs of bl00d mist, and there was also a palm print dozens of feet wide on the ground, even the incredibly hard granite was shattered into pieces, deeply embedded in the ground.

One sentence killed hundreds of people, one palm took the lives of dozens more, and also destroyed most of the hall. The Half-step Grandmaster’s strength made everyone terrified. The sect members, who had been planning to flee in all directions, stood stiffly in place, and cold sweat slowly soaked their clothes.

“Kill the Sect Leader, and we won’t have to die!” Hidden behind the crowd, He Yufei squeezed her voice and shouted, immediately arousing the sect members’ desire to survive. They looked at He Chongling, and their crimson eyes were filled with killing intent.

“Yes, kill the Sect Leader, and cut off his head, and we can save our Eastern Saint Sect!” The sect members, who were already very dissatisfied with He Chongling’s arbitrariness, shouted and rushed forward. Without the need for outsiders to act, they began to kill each other first.

He Yufei pulled Bai Yan and hid behind a pillar, covering her mouth and giggling for a while. Bai Yan looked down at her, his expression gentle.

He Chongling was only a Super-First-rate master, while the Right Protector and others who were besieging him were all first-rate masters, and their strength was not much different from his. He could still handle five people by himself, but he couldn’t hold on if there were more, and he was soon covered in bl00d. But there was no panic in his eyes, but instead, he revealed a crazy look, and casually threw away the dull-edged sword, and laughed loudly, “Good, good, good, this deity has raised you for a long time, and it’s time to harvest!” After the words fell, with his five fingers grasping through the air, he actually pulled the Right Protector into his palm and absorbed him into a human husk.

The Right Protector’s charred corpse fell to the ground and shattered into a pile of powder, which disappeared with the wind, and his death was very strange. Everyone looked at the ground, and then at the madly laughing He Chongling, and couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts. But it was done, and it was too late to stop at this moment. They swarmed up and continued to besiege him. This time, He Chongling, who had been somewhat overwhelmed, was like he had divine help, and with one palm, he knocked the crowd away, and then pinched a senior elder’s neck. The elder had only struggled a little, his skin and flesh quickly shriveled and caved in, and he also turned into a dried corpse.

He Chongling threw away the charred bones, and attacked the next person, and everywhere he passed, there was powder, and no one was his match. His strange palm technique intimidated the crowd, causing them to retreat and not dare to come forward. And every time He Chongling absorbed a person, his aura would soar a bit, and the rapidly rising inner force would also swell his clothes.

Now, it wasn’t the crowd besieging him, but he was eager to pursue and kill the crowd, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.

He Yufei said in horror, “Master, what’s going on?”

Bai Yan said slowly, “He should be cultivating the ‘Assimilation Technique,’ which, as the name suggests, is to assimilate other people’s inner force for his own use. If he continues to kill, he will soon advance from a Super-First-rate master to a Half-step Grandmaster.”

He Yufei’s eyes turned red with anxiety, and she grabbed Bai Yan’s sleeve and said, “Master, let’s run quickly! He Chongling is cultivating this kind of evil technique, and I’m afraid even that Half-step Grandmaster won’t be able to defeat him!”

“What are you running for,” Bai Yan bent down and picked up a sword, and chuckled, “While he hasn’t broken through yet, you go up and fight him. If you don’t practice your skills for a day, you’ll become unfamiliar with them. This is a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity.”

He Yufei was scared pale, but she didn’t dare to disobey Bai Yan, so she could only hold the sharp sword and instructed, “Master, you hide far away, lest you hurt yourself. If I lose, you run out along the secret passage I told you about last time.”

Although Bai Yan didn’t know martial arts, he knew a lot about all kinds of top-level cultivation techniques. Under his guidance, He Yufei’s skills improved by leaps and bounds, and from then on, she was unwilling to leave Bai Yan’s side, and called him Master. Bai Yan saw that she was simple and cute, and had good aptitude, so he went along with her, and thus, the master-disciple title was established.

Although she knew that her martial arts shouldn’t be weak, He Yufei had almost no real combat experience, and couldn’t help but panic when she charged out. But she soon discovered that, compared to the other sect members who had no ability to fight back, she could actually maneuver with ease and display her sword techniques under He Chongling’s hands, and almost stabbed He Chongling’s vital point.

“Yufei, you’re also betraying me!” He Chongling had already killed until his eyes were red, and he clamped and broke He Yufei’s sword with his fingers, and knocked her away with another palm strike, and then wantonly absorbed the inner force of the people around him. After all, he couldn’t bear to hurt the person he loved most.

He Yufei picked up another sword and resolutely chased after him, and fought with He Chongling with one sword after another. Her moves were still very clumsy at first, but they slowly became round and integrated, and she directly waved the sharp sword into a cloud of shadows, and the sharp sword qi drew lines on the ground, and the sharp sword light dazzled people’s eyes.

“Holy Maiden, your martial arts are actually so superb!” The sect members, who were forced back by her sharp sword qi, couldn’t help but exclaim. You must know that before she became the Holy Maiden, He Yufei was only a maid, and although she understood martial arts, she couldn’t even be considered a third-rate martial artist. But now, she could fight evenly with the Sect Leader, which showed that she had the level of a Super-First-rate master.

Bai Yan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with satisfaction. He Chongling, however, didn’t have his good mood, and had been showing mercy everywhere to He Yufei, reluctant to hurt her, but he also lost his patience under her relentless pursuit, and said with hatred, “Yufei, I truly love you, but you don’t care about a bit of affection.”

“I only have hatred with you, no affection!” He Yufei stabbed He Chongling’s right palm with a sword.

“Good, good, good, what a lack of affection!” He Chongling pulled out his bl00d-stained palm, retreated at extreme speed, and in an instant, absorbed the inner force of several sect members, and as if he saw something from the corner of his eye, he suddenly called out, “Lin Dan, come over here!”

In the past, Lin Dan would always silently guard him, and even if she lost her life, she wouldn’t let him get hurt at all, so he couldn’t remember this dog, and wouldn’t even be aware of her existence. But now, he had He Yufei to deal with, and there were also strong enemies waiting in front of him, and Lin Dan was a first-rate master second only to him. If he could absorb the other party’s inner force, he might be able to immediately advance to a Half-step Grandmaster.

Lin Dan, who had almost no sense of presence, finally took a step forward.

He Yufei, while manipulating the crisscrossing sword energy, shouted loudly, “Lin Dan, don’t listen to him, he wants your life!”

Lin Dan, however, turned a deaf ear and continued to walk towards He Chongling with steady steps.

Bai Yan sighed softly, and the hands behind his back finally rose, his fingertips lightly pointing in the air…
