Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Female Lead Stays Out of It - Chapter 43: Peerless Under Heaven 5

There were hundreds of Super-First-rate masters battling Lin Dan. Initially, they were concerned about their reputations, and took turns to tangle with her one at a time. Later, upon discovering that she could injure one with a single strike, they completely abandoned the so-called righteous conduct, and swarmed her.

Lin Dan was worried about not having a place to release the death energy within her, so she chopped one every time one came, and when a group came, she waved out a blade shadow. The tyrannical essence transformed into blade energy, attacking the crowd like a fierce wind and torrential rain, and then formed thunderclaps in their wounds, blasting them to bloody messes. A single strike from others would at most create a bone-deep wound; a slash from her would chop those with low martial arts into minced meat, and even if they had abundant inner energy to protect them, it would be difficult to resist the invasion of the death energy.

After she sheathed her blade, the many masters outside the warning line were already covered in wounds, and a few who hadn’t even stood firm had many bl00d holes burst open in their bodies with a bang, and immediately fell. And all of them hadn’t noticed that the steel blade in Lin Dan’s hand was absorbing the bloodstains on the blade drop by drop, gradually changing from silver-white to light red.

This blade was also given to Lin Dan by the old sect leader, named the Asura blade, and it was originally part of that cultivation technique. The technique was a demonic one, and the blade was naturally a demonic blade as well, but its original owner’s martial arts never improved, so he was unable to discover the strangeness of this blade.

Lin Dan gripped the hilt tightly, her face covered with bloodstains, but she didn’t show the slightest hint of the madness of someone who was consumed by killing. She took a step forward, her toes firmly pressed against the line.

The Fourth Elder of Lianyun City then leaped from high above, and said sternly, “The cultivation technique you are practicing is so violent that if we let you go today, you will surely become a scourge to the Jianghu in the future! This old man will eliminate this tumor for the righteous path today!” Before his voice faded, he had already struck out a palm.

Lin Dan split the palm wind, and said in a deep voice, “I have never taken the initiative to slaughter anyone, so how can I be a scourge? I have already laid down the words that if you abide by your promise and take the initiative to retreat today, we will be at peace. If you come to seek death yourselves, then don’t blame me for being merciless.”

The Fourth Elder of Lianyun City didn’t bother to talk to her and coldly snorted before continuously employing palm techniques to attack. He had stayed in the Half-step Grandmaster realm for many years, and his aura was more stable than Lin Dan’s, and he was also more experienced in combat than Lin Dan. He quickly scattered Lin Dan’s fierce blade energy, and struck her with one palm after another.

Lin Dan was forced to retreat again and again, and bl00d spurted from her mouth, but there was no hint of fear in her eyes. Instead, she shouted, “Well done!” Then she slashed out with her blade, one after another, even though she would be pushed away by the Fourth Elder every time, she still didn’t give up the attack.

The stronger the enemy, the more she would have to use all her strength to fight, and the death energy that she had to employ would also increase exponentially. At the same time, her life energy within her body would circulate endlessly in her limbs and bones, keeping her away from the pain, and making her feel comfortable all over. The internal injuries caused by being struck by the palm wind, compared to the pain of thousands of cuts, were truly nothing.

Then she was even more astonished to discover that, because the death energy was all used for battle, the life energy in her body was quite abundant. The sword wounds that had been inflicted on her by those masters before were quickly healing, not even leaving a scar. Even if her internal organs were shattered, they could quickly recover. The more fierce the battle, the faster the wounds would heal.

That is to say, when she cultivated the “Asura blade” to the extreme, she would become a monster that could never be killed.

This astonishing discovery didn’t shake Lin Dan’s mind, but only made her more valiant and fearless. She was knocked into the ground by the Fourth Elder’s palm wind several times, smashing out a deep pit, and rushed to attack several times, but in a short while, the ground was smashed out with more than a dozen big pits by her unsightly figure. But at the same time, the blade energy that she waved out became fiercer and more vigorous with each passing strike.

At first, the Fourth Elder could still deal with her head-on with ease. Later, he had to start dodging, and then he was slashed by several blades, and his body was covered in bl00d. Since he had been promoted to Half-step Grandmaster, he hadn’t been injured for a long time, and had never been pushed to such a state of embarrassment. Only then did he realize that Lin Dan was a battle-mad martial artist, whose improvements in battle were countless times those of cultivation.

That is to say, he had now become Lin Dan’s whetstone. If they continued to fight, he wouldn’t get any advantage, and would instead promote Lin Dan’s breakthrough. Even if he had already stood at the top of the Eastern Tang Continent, and had seen all sorts of peerless masters, the Fourth Elder still believed that this devil girl in her early twenties, whose name had not even become known, was the most terrifying opponent he had ever met. He was already faintly showing signs of defeat, and his inner energy was running low. He might not be able to hold on for another half an hour. And Lin Dan became stronger and stronger as she fought. The original pale face was dyed with two healthy blushes, and a pair of dark, deep eyes sparkled with scorching light. It was as if she could fight for three days and three nights without any problem.

It was obvious that her inner energy was more abundant than the Fourth Elder’s, as if the desperate battle just now was only a warm-up. At first glance, she seemed to have just been promoted, and the aura in her body was still unstable, but now, her aura was well-rounded, and her moves were fierce. Even a peerless master like the Fourth Elder was forced to retreat again and again by her.

Seeing Lin Dan unleash a torrent of fierce blade shadows, wanting to shred herself, the Fourth Elder hastily struck out a palm to slow down the blade force, and then quickly retreated with the help of the palm wind, and coincidentally retreated outside the warning line. Lin Dan had already unleashed a fatal blade, and seeing this situation, she unleashed an even more intense blade. The later blade energy was faster than the former blade energy, and deflected it slightly, landing on the rock next to the Fourth Elder, and splitting the several-zhang-tall cliff into two halves, and blasting out a huge cave.

The flying debris wouldn’t cause any harm to the top-notch masters. Everyone dodged away, and the Fourth Elder retreated several zhang, his face full of surprise and uncertainty. He knew that Lin Dan could have killed him just now. The previous blade had been aimed at his neck, and he hadn’t even stood firm, let alone dodge it. If Lin Dan hadn’t unleashed the second blade, he would definitely be separated from his head right now, and dead.

“Why did you spare this old man?” Losing was losing, and the Fourth Elder had nothing he couldn’t accept. If he couldn’t see through the constant state of winning and losing, he wouldn’t be able to go any further. But he wanted to know why Lin Dan had spared him at the critical moment. You must know that he was one of the few Half-step Grandmasters in the Eastern Tang Continent, and also the Fourth Elder of Lianyun City, who was known for his prestige, and was very prestigious in the Jianghu. If Lin Dan had killed him today, she could have become famous throughout the world in an instant, and shook the world. And the Eastern Saint Sect had become more rampant and expanded more rapidly in recent years, wasn’t this what they wanted? No sect didn’t want to become a hegemon, and no martial artist didn’t want to be admired by the world.

The Fourth Elder’s tortuous and complex train of thought couldn’t be understood by Lin Dan at all. She slowly walked to the bottom line, and stood with her blade, and repeated word by word: “Those who cross the line, kill without mercy.” She was saying kill without mercy, but was doing a good deed of giving others a chance to live, which made the Fourth Elder unable to figure out her disposition.

Lin Dan’s idea was very simple. The kill without mercy in her mouth not only included others, but also herself. If she herself crossed this most basic bottom line, without the so-called righteous people coming to punish her, she would die by severing her own heart veins. She could live a life worse than death, and she could live a lonely life, but she couldn’t live a life that was muddled and crazy. If she couldn’t live out herself, what was the point of living?

The Fourth Elder caught sight of the line she had drawn before, and only then did he understand why he was able to escape. Lin Dan was truly a woman of her word. As long as she didn’t cross the line, she wouldn’t use her killing blow, and was more trustworthy than those righteous sects.

Thinking of this, the Fourth Elder’s old face flushed red, and he was actually very ashamed in his heart, and then he looked up and, inconspicuously, looked at the crowd opposite. Bai Yan, who was hidden behind the crowd, nodded slightly. He immediately cupped his hands and said, “Thank you, this heroic knight, for sparing me. I have offended you today.” After the words fell, he waved his wide sleeves and leaped away.

Lin Dan was able to make the Fourth Elder cough up bl00d again and again, and was naturally a master in the Half-step Grandmaster realm. The rest of these righteous people, let alone kill her, even if they were all lumped together, wouldn’t be her match, so they soon dispersed.

The gate of the Eastern Saint Sect, which had been towering at the peak of the mountains, had been mostly destroyed at this time. The ground was also littered with many scattered corpses, and the bl00d had covered layer after layer, leaving no place to step. Lin Dan inserted the Asura blade into the pool of bl00d, allowing it to absorb the bl00d. She then sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.

The death energy returned, and collided with the life energy. The familiar excruciating pain began to rage in Lin Dan’s body, tearing her meridians and flesh inch by inch, and repairing them inch by inch. This process was naturally extremely painful, but she didn’t even frown, only the blush on her cheeks slowly faded, and she became pale as snow again.

The members of the Eastern Saint Sect didn’t dare to disturb her, and quietly cleaned up the mess.

He Yufei stood not far away, hesitant, wanting to step forward, but not daring to, her expression very complex. She had betrayed Lin Dan, and had also stolen the person Lin Dan loved the most. She didn’t know how Lin Dan would retaliate.

Before this, He Yufei had never imagined that Lin Dan would become so powerful. She was now a Half-step Grandmaster, a top master second only to the Grandmaster. If she called out, the Eastern Saint Sect, which was already in a precarious position, would immediately have a very high status in the Jianghu, and in a few years, it might even become a behemoth like the Qingcheng Sect and the Tianjian Sect. If she kept holding on to the past, He Yufei could only flee the Jianghu and be constantly on the run from now on.

“Master, let’s go quickly while she hasn’t recovered yet.” More than herself, He Yufei was more worried that Bai Yan would be imprisoned by Lin Dan again.

“Wait a little longer.” Bai Yan, however, slowly walked towards Lin Dan, who was in the pool of bl00d. Before he got close, he saw her open her eyes and say, without joy or sorrow, “You just wanted to kill me.” She hadn’t forgotten that before she had killed He Chongling, someone had tried assassinating her with inner force, and at that time, the only person standing in that direction who was suspicious was Bai Yan.
