Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Female Lead Stays Out of It - Chapter 52: Peerless Under Heaven 14

Lin Dan killed for a full hour before killing all the patients in the city. Wherever she passed, some people fled, but many more knelt down, weeping and murmuring their thanks. They were already terminally ill, beyond saving, and had eaten so much human flesh, they were even less worth saving, so it was better for them to die.

After confirming that there wasn’t a single survivor in the city, Lin Dan, relying on her special cultivation method and not fearing the virus, gathered the corpses of these people and set them on fire.

Actually, before she arrived, patients in the plague city had been committing suicide every day, but Yan Zhaotian, in order to maintain a certain number, would throw down even more city residents. He didn’t allow his citizens to escape, and the city gates only allowed entry, not exit, turning this place into a hunting ground, wantonly taking pleasure in the lives of others. If one day, the people in the city were all killed, he would change to another city to continue playing, because his father possessed two great empires, and didn’t care about a mere plague city.

Those at the top never see the suffering of the people at the bottom, but it was very helpless, this was the current situation of the Eastern Tang Continent, this was the natural law of survival of the fittest.

A column of smoke rose into the sky, and Lin Dan stood in front of the fire, her expression calm, not knowing what she was thinking. Her Asura blade had already turned black, this was the result of absorbing too much bl00d. Fazhao and the others hurriedly sat down cross-legged and chanted the Sutra of Deliverance for the Dead. Having come for eleven consecutive years, this time, he finally got his wish.

Bai Yan put down the little boy in his arms, who was no longer crying, and untied the boy’s family members, sending them away. Then he looked at Lin Dan’s tall and unyielding back, and his eyes flickered constantly.

Seeing that the corpses had all burned to ashes, Lin Dan leaped onto the wall and left directly. When she brushed past Bai Yan, she emphasized word by word: “If one day, I also become this appearance of neither human nor ghost, please be sure to kill me!”

Bai Yan didn’t respond for a long time. Seeing her staring straight at him, her expression resolute, he finally said hoarsely: “Okay.” At the same time, he felt a faint pain in his heart, as if he was missing a corner.

Master Fazhao, upon hearing this, actually opened his eyes and sighed: “Amitabha, good, good!”

Lin Dan continued to walk forward. The soldiers guarding the city pointed their knives and spears at her, but no one dared to approach. She was soaked in bl00d, and every step she took left a bloody footprint, looking like an evil ghost. After walking more than ten meters, she suddenly paused and shouted: “I am Lin Dan, you can tell Emperor Yan that I killed him. If he wants revenge, come to the summit of Kunlun Mountain in three days to find me, and we’ll have a fight, with no regard for life or death!”

In the end, she still didn’t want to involve others and issued a challenge to Emperor Yan. This was an old rule in the Jianghu, once one side issued a challenge, the other side could not privately launch revenge before deciding the outcome. If she won, everyone could live in peace, if she lost, the Eastern Saint Cult could only fend for itself.

“She is the newly promoted Grandmaster, Lin Dan!” a soldier exclaimed.

“Quick, quickly go send a message to His Majesty Emperor Yan!” Everyone was in a flurry, while Lin Dan had already left on the wind. Under her feet, many people ran out of their tightly closed homes, pointing at the direction of the billowing smoke and discussing. Knowing that someone had killed the city lord and burned the plague city, they all shed tears and then knelt down, kowtowing to the unnamed benefactor. If the benefactor hadn’t come, they would have become members of the plague city sooner or later, unable to seek life, unable to seek death! That Emperor Yan wasn’t a person, he was clearly the Yama of hell!

—

Three days later, Lin Dan was standing on the summit of Kunlun Mountain, holding the black Asura blade.

Bai Yan and Fazhao stood behind her, one with a furrowed brow and an anxious expression; the other with closed eyes, reciting scriptures. This battle could be said to be without any suspense, because Emperor Yan was the second-highest expert, second only to Emperor Yun, and the cultivation technique he practiced was the “Blazing Flame Burst Fist,” a single punch could flatten a small mountain, and was not something Lin Dan, who had just been promoted to the Grandmaster realm, could deal with.

“He’s coming.” Bai Yan suddenly spoke.

Master Fazhao immediately opened his eyes as well.

Only Lin Dan was a beat slower, which showed that there was still a gap between Grandmasters.

The next moment, a middle-aged man in a red robe came on the wind, and after landing, he actually stepped two deep footprints into the hard rock. He looked at Lin Dan and said coldly: “Did you kill my son?”

Lin Dan stepped forward with her blade, “I did.”

“Then it’s good!” Emperor Yan punched out without saying anything. Lin Dan hurriedly raised her blade to block, but was forced back several meters by the violent energy, and also spat out a mouthful of bl00d. But she didn’t show any panic, but instead, her eyes were full of burning fighting spirit. This enemy was very strong, even if she extracted all her dead Qi, she might not be able to defeat him. But it didn’t matter, she liked a hearty battle, and if she was destined to die, dying at the hands of a strong person was also a kind of glory.

She flicked the Asura blade and, with the help of the blade’s emanating Qi, flew forward and fought with Emperor Yan. After exchanging a few moves, she was horrified to discover that Emperor Yan’s cultivation technique actually made his whole body as hard as iron, and was invulnerable to knives and spears. Her Asura blade was completely restrained by the opponent’s Blazing Flame Fist.

“Today, I will take your head to pay homage to my son’s spirit in heaven! By the way, I’ll also teach you a lesson, don’t be self-willed just because you have a superior talent, in this world, there will always be someone stronger than you.” Emperor Yan punched Lin Dan down, and then swooped down.

Lin Dan slammed hard onto the ground, and while vomiting bl00d, she raised the Asura blade and blocked Emperor Yan’s even more violent punch. The rock beneath her had already shattered, and a deep pit had been created, the scene was very tragic. Emperor Yan didn’t give her a chance to turn around, and punched again and again, continuously smashing down, the violent Qi scraping in the air, emitting a sharp whistle.

The deep pit was smashed deeper and deeper, and soon it buried Lin Dan.

Fazhao couldn’t bear to watch anymore, but Bai Yan stared at Emperor Yan, his expression frozen.

The more severely injured, the more abundant the life Qi in Lin Dan’s body, and the faster the recovery speed, at the same time, the dead Qi was also rapidly increasing, converting into Qi. Seeing Emperor Yan raise his fist and fiercely smash it towards her head, she gritted her teeth and pushed the Asura blade forward, the blade flashing with black light, which happened to meet his fist, and actually cut a wound on his iron-hard skin.

Emperor Yan was shocked, and before he could react, he saw the blade slashing towards his neck, and hastily retreated.

Without the pressure of the fist wind, Lin Dan immediately leaped out of the deep pit and slashed several times, each strike aimed at Emperor Yan’s vitals. Emperor Yan initially dodged a few times, and found that she could only cut a shallow cut on his skin, without even seeing bl00d, he then let go and continued to attack with large, sweeping movements.

The fighting styles of the two were both very rough, only knowing how to attack and not defend, and both had divine powers to protect their bodies, with strong vitality, this battle actually lasted for three days and three nights.

Lin Dan grew at an astonishing rate, although she was already covered in wounds, the light in her eyes was comparable to the sun in the sky, and was very fervent. Emperor Yan’s inner strength was vast and he did not appear tired either, but his clothes were torn to shreds by Lin Dan’s blade Qi, and he looked somewhat disheveled.

“No wonder you dared to openly become my enemy, it turns out you have cultivated the Asura blade!” Gradually, Emperor Yan also recognized Lin Dan’s cultivation technique, and his heart was even more apprehensive. He no longer had the patience to continue, and concentrated all his inner strength in his right fist, and smashed it down with a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

Lin Dan could see the trajectory of the fist, but could not avoid it no matter what, she could only use all her inner strength and slash, this was obviously a move of mutual destruction.

Fazhao lowered his head and recited a Buddha. Bai Yan took a stride forward, his usually cold eyes were now a crimson red.

Emperor Yan’s fist and Lin Dan’s blade struck each other almost simultaneously. With a series of “pfft” sounds, Lin Dan’s entire body’s bones were broken by Emperor Yan, while Emperor Yan had already revealed a smile of sure victory. His skin was as hard as iron, and Lin Dan had failed to leave a wound on his body in three days and three nights, how could she possibly hit his vitals?

But then, a “sputter” sound was heard, and a jet of bl00d shot into the air, staining Emperor Yan’s eyes red. He looked down in disbelief, and looked at his chest, but saw that the Asura blade had pierced through his chest, straight to his heart, the bl00d grooves on both sides were gushing out a lot of bl00d, which was then sucked dry bit by bit by the blade.

“How, how could this be?” he murmured.

“How could this not be, haven’t you noticed? In these three days and three nights, every strike of my blade landed on a certain vital part of your body, and the point of each strike was the same, seemingly chaotic, but had actually already broken through your defenses, it’s just that I hadn’t delivered a fatal blow. Today, I’ll teach you a lesson, don’t be self-willed just because you are good at martial arts, in this world, there will always be someone stronger than you.” Lin Dan pulled out the Asura blade and retorted.

Without any obstruction, more bl00d gushed out from Emperor Yan’s chest. He stared fixedly at Lin Dan and slowly fell, and had already stopped breathing. Lin Dan then exhaled a turbid breath, and also fell down.

Bai Yan immediately flew forward and caught her steadily, and then was horrified to discover that all her bones were broken, and felt soft and squishy to the touch, it was very terrifying. He didn’t dare to move at all, and at the same time, he had Fazhao remove his kasaya and spread it on the ground, and then carefully laid Lin Dan down.

Lin Dan spat out a lot of bl00d, but smiled at the sunlight above. How wonderful to be alive!

“Don’t smile, just lie still!” Bai Yan cherished Lin Dan’s smile, but today, he felt that her half-dead appearance was very harsh.

In the midst of speaking, two sounds of breaking through the air came, and on the summit of Kunlun Mountain, which had been ruined by the two’s vicious battle, two more tall men appeared, one was wearing a blue and white Taoist robe, looking quite like an immortal, and the other was wearing black clothes, with a stern face.

“Emperor Yan, she is the successor of the Asura blade, you should know what to do!” The two immediately demanded that Lin Dan be killed as soon as they spoke.

Lin Dan looked at Bai Yan, murmuring, “Are you Emperor Yun?”

Bai Yan gently held her fingertips, and then instructed Fazhao to take good care of her. He then turned around and said, word by word, “As long as she is conscious for a day, I will protect her for a day. If you two are dissatisfied, feel free to come and fight.” As soon as he finished speaking, his white robe billowed, and his aura surged, and his powerful inner strength warped the surrounding air, but he carefully avoided Lin Dan, shielding her behind him with a wall of protection.

The two weren’t anyone else, but the fifth‑ranked Xiaoyaozi and the fourth‑ranked Wei Qu. According to common sense, since Lin Dan had already killed Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan’s territory naturally belonged to her. If she were killed by others, the forces under her would all belong to the other party. These two suddenly appeared not to uphold justice, but to seize resources.

But they never expected that Emperor Yun, who had always loved to watch from the sidelines and stay out of things, would openly stand up to protect Lin Dan.
