Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Female Lead Stays Out of It - Chapter 42: Peerless Under Heaven 4

Lin Dan gripped her large blade and walked toward He Chongling step by step, while he was making a boastful laugh, and said word by word, “This deity cultivated you with all my heart, it is precisely for this day! Lin Dan, I will remember you after you die.”

The words “remember you”, if heard by the original owner, would have been no different from the sound of heaven, but Lin Dan just glanced at him faintly, with no ripples in her eyes. Feeling a vast force of energy coming from the side, she didn’t even look to see who the attacker was. With a light tap of her toes, she flew forward, and the sudden increase in speed allowed her to avoid the energy, leaving only a deep, bottomless small hole, about the thickness of a finger, carved into the granite.

Seeing Lin Dan flying towards him, He Chongling quickly opened his five fingers to meet her. He thought that she would obediently let him absorb her until she became a human husk, but he didn’t expect her to suddenly pull out the large blade and fight with all her might.

He Chongling’s expression of control finally shattered, but he didn’t avoid the large blade either. Instead, he closed his five fingers and gripped the blade, wanting to crush it. In the blink of an eye, he didn’t have time to think why Lin Dan could avoid the control of the child Gu and attack him, he only wanted to smash this traitor into a meat patty with one palm.

Lin Dan always looked at He Chongling expressionlessly. The violent vital energy in her body was constantly transformed into blade energy, and instantly shattered He Chongling’s five fingers. The blade’s momentum didn’t diminish, and it slashed straight through his arm and into his heart, instantly shattering the mother Gu.

He Chongling’s arrogant expression froze on his face. He slowly lowered his head to look at the steel knife inserted in his chest, and then slowly raised his head, looking at this woman, who had never been put in his eyes, like an insect or ant.

“You actually…” Before he could finish his sentence, the vital energy in the blade exploded in his body like thunder. A puff of bl00d mist scattered on Lin Dan’s pale, jade-like face, and she didn’t even blink.

The sect members were all around, but they didn’t dare to step forward. No one had ever imagined that the sect leader would cultivate such an evil technique, and treat everyone as a tool to absorb their inner energy, as if they were livestock. Nor did they expect that when he had achieved martial arts and was about to reach the top, he would be killed by the Left Protector with one strike!

The sect leader was originally a Super-First-rate master, and then absorbed the inner energy of dozens of first-rate masters. Logically speaking, he was enough to be promoted to a Half-step Grandmaster. However, Lin Dan appeared and only swung one strike, and then cleanly sent him to see the King of Hell. What level of master was Lin Dan?

Everyone looked at each other, then slowly stepped back, all feeling horrified.

Lin Dan pulled out the bl00d-stained steel knife, her dark eyes staring at He Chongling’s corpse, her expression inexplicable. Only now did she realize what kind of abyss she had fallen into. People who cultivated the Asura Blade, every moment were enduring the pain of a thousand cuts. However, when they fought with others and wantonly engaged in killing, the vital energy in their bodies would be poured into their palms and injected into their weapons to shred their enemies, and all that remained in their bodies was an endless stream of life energy. All the pain, in an instant, was gone from them…

Lin Dan killed to her heart’s content, and killed joyfully, wishing that there were ten or eight He Chonglings in front of her, so that she could kill endlessly!

Only when killing could she get a moment of peace, and this was precisely the most terrifying aspect of the Asura Blade technique. If the cultivator wanted to alleviate the excruciating pain in their body, they must immerse themselves in killing every moment, and they had already cut off all feelings, and naturally lost their humanity, and over time, they would become killing machines. If one day, they completely lost themselves, they would also lose control of the two energies of life and death. Once the balance was broken, the death energy would take the upper hand, thus destroying their lifeblood.

In other words, those who cultivated the Asura Blade were destined to be consumed by their inner demons and die.

Lin Dan closed her eyes, her heart already cold. No wonder the old sect leader was willing to give this top-level technique to the original owner, and no wonder He Chongling, who was so jealous of talent, didn’t even want to cultivate it. It turned out that from the very beginning, they had chosen a dead end for the original owner. In their eyes, she was probably already a dead person.

But Lin Dan would never admit defeat. She clenched the large blade and secretly drew a bottom line for herself in her heart—even if she had to endure endless pain, she couldn’t allow herself to become a killing machine without humanity. Severing feelings and being ruthless were two completely different concepts.

After thinking about it, she chopped off He Chongling’s head with one slash and walked towards the mountain gate step by step. The other sect members didn’t dare to say a word more, and didn’t dare to stop her. They only followed her from afar.

“Mas-Master, what exactly happened just now?” He Yufei, who had just been in the limelight, and was now forgotten, asked with a pale face. She never expected that He Chongling, whose strength had greatly increased, would be killed by Lin Dan with one strike, and his head would be cut off. When doing all this, Lin Dan didn’t even frown, or even blink her eyes. At that moment, she really looked like an evil ghost who had climbed out of hell, inexplicably frightening.

Bai Yan’s brow furrowed slightly, and he murmured softly, in a voice that could barely be heard, “The Asura… has descended…”

…

Lin Dan arrived at the mountain gate and casually threw out He Chongling’s head, and said word by word, “This is what you want. I will temporarily draw a line here. If you keep your promises, then leave quickly. If you cross this line, I will kill without mercy!”

She raised the large knife and casually drew a line in front of her toes. The violent vital energy actually split a deep groove in the hard ground. The fierce energy scattered all around, and anyone who stood close would be shredded into powder.

The righteous disciples standing at the front immediately retreated. After the ferocious blade energy was weakened enough, they looked at the ground with lingering fear, and then found that their clothes and boots had been cut with strips of openings by the remaining energy. Crimson bl00d seeped through the fabric. They had been slightly injured without knowing it.

This silent demonstration immediately made the major sects deeply wary of Lin Dan.

“Quasi-Grandmaster?” The Fourth Elder of Lianyun City asked in surprise and uncertainty.

Lin Dan just glanced at him faintly, then lowered her head, with one hand behind her back and the other holding the bl00d-stained steel knife, and said slowly, “You should go now.” Her feet never crossed the line she had drawn, because this was also the bottom line in her heart. If these people kept their word, and left immediately, she would not take action. If these people insisted on attacking the mountain, she would have to kill with a large scale.

Although the old sect leader and He Chongling treated the original owner like a pig or a dog, the old woman in the mountain gate raised her, several maids served her since childhood, and were completely loyal to her. There were also many adopted children being trained on the back mountain. They had not yet grown up, and therefore had not done evil. They shouldn’t die.

Severing feelings and being ruthless didn’t mean that Lin Dan would lose her basic values. She knew the principle of repaying kindness and repaying hatred. She didn’t want to care about some people in the Eastern Saint Sect, but some people, she couldn’t ignore.

Although He Chongling, the demon, was dead, a higher-skilled and more ruthless leader had appeared in the demonic sect. If they let her go this time, in the coming days, when she regained her energy, a bloody storm would inevitably be stirred up in the Jianghu, so the Fourth Elder never thought of letting Lin Dan go. The previous words were just words of bewilderment that disrupted people’s hearts. Although they didn’t fear the demonic sect, if they could cause chaos within the demonic sect, and allow the righteous path to suffer less casualties and troubles, it would be very beneficial.

“Kill!” The Fourth Elder raised his hand, his tone cold, but the next moment, his narrowed eyes suddenly widened, as if he had seen something strange.

Bai Yan, hidden behind the crowd, nodded slightly. The Fourth Elder’s hesitant expression immediately became firm, and he ordered, “Kill without mercy!”

The Eastern Saint Sect members, who thought they could escape the death sentence, were immediately in an uproar. Some scolded these righteous disciples as hypocrites, some fled in panic, and some picked up their swords and fought back with all their might. Lin Dan always guarded the line under her feet, and guarded the bottom line in her heart. She didn’t get angry because of the inconstancy of these people, and she didn’t fear the siege of hundreds of masters.

She craved killing, but she was also restraining killing. She never took the initiative to attack, but as long as someone crossed the line, she would raise the steel knife and cut the person in half. Her moves were very simple, just slashing and cutting, without any other fancy moves, but the blade energy she emitted was full of violent energy, and she only needed to cut a small opening to suddenly explode a bl00d hole.

Countless super-first-rate masters attacked her, but they were shredded into bloody people by her vital energy. However, if they took the initiative to retreat, away from the warning line, she would not pursue them. She always adhered to the bottom line and didn’t overstep it in the slightest.

Gradually, these righteous masters were afraid, and they retreated one after another, away from the line that spanned the mountain gate, and didn’t dare to cross it again.

Lin Dan then shook off the bl00d on the blade, and slowly exhaled a turbid breath. Her toes firmly pressed against the line, and after such a fierce battle, she still hadn’t moved a step. What was this concept? This meant that she had completely spared no effort in dealing with these top masters. Her realm might have far exceeded everyone’s imagination.

Lin Dan killed happily, the heart-piercing pain had long since left her, pure madness and joy were constantly washing over her head. But her mind hadn’t wavered in the slightest. Those who crossed the line were killed, those who retreated were spared. She always knew what she was doing. She had fallen deep into the abyss, but she could climb towards the bright, sunny exit with her bare hands.

In the midst of the killing, she discovered another terrifying secret—the more bl00d the knife drank, the more her cultivation would skyrocket. The realm that others struggled to reach after decades of cultivation, she could easily advance to by just killing a few more people. This Asura Blade was undoubtedly a top-level cultivation technique, but it was also a demonic technique that harmed others and herself. However, Lin Dan had no other choice. Not practicing meant death, and abandoning her martial arts would also cause her heart veins to rupture and lead to death. She could only move forward without looking back.
