Chapter 42: Murder and Arson to Avenge Hatred Against Heaven

As they spoke, the innkeeper’s expression turned solemn, the accountant continued to smile as he stroked his beloved dog, and the others looked on expressionlessly at Yu Qingtan, their eyes sharp and ready to burst into action at any moment.

Hearing Xiao Yan’s words, the innkeeper’s eyes flickered, ready to signal everyone to make their move.

Yu Qingtan quickly said, "All you big brothers of Misty Rain Tower, aren’t you just after money? If you kill her, I’ll double her price."

"Hahahaha, do you know how much I offered earlier? 5000 Spirit Stones, double is 10,000, and another double is 20,000. I think even selling you wouldn’t fetch that many Spirit Stones."

Xiao Yan said with a sneer.

"Do it!" The innkeeper did not want to drag this out any longer. The fact that this girl could infiltrate this place so quietly, and that he could see through her Qi Cultivation sixth stage with his pupil technique, made him feel a trace of unease, so he decided it was best to take her out quickly.

As the innkeeper’s command sounded, the cook was in front of Yu Qingtan in the blink of an eye, with a kitchen knife gleaming with cold light appearing in his right hand, swinging it towards Yu Qingtan’s forehead, intending to split her head in two.

The cook, known as Butcher Blade, with a Qi Cultivation eighth stage, has took countless cultivators’ souls with just a kitchen knife.

As the Butcher Blade made his move, Xiao Yan retreated to the side of the wall, a satisfied smile on his face.

Two helpers each launched a spell, Fire Rocket Technique and Ice Rocket Technique.

A fiery arrow and an ice-cold arrow formed instantly, shooting at blistering speed towards Yu Qingtan’s back.

Both helpers had a cultivation level of only Qi Cultivation fifth stage, but if their arrows hit, even someone at the sixth stage would meet their demise.

Facing such a perilous situation, Yu Qingtan’s expression did not change. As the knife swung down, a pink longsword appeared in her hands— the Cherry Red Sword.

Yu Qingtan held the Cherry Red Sword, spinning her body around, the longsword swung three times, sending out three sword qi.

Butcher Blade seeing that things were not good, timely changed his knife blow into a slap, the sword qi swept across the knife’s blade, the immense Power Dao directly knocking him away along with his knife, crashing into a table.

A deep dent appeared on the face of the high-quality first-tier Magic Artifact knife, and Butcher Blade barely stood up, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The other two sword qi split the fire and ice rockets in half, scattering into the air, and with their momentum unabated, they cut the two helpers in astonishment at the waist.

"Foundation Establishment Stage!" The innkeeper and accountant went rigid, their lips dry.

Xiao Yan’s eyes bulged out, his hand trembling as he pointed at Yu Qingtan.

"You, you, you..."

He could not utter another word.

It turned out that Yu Qingtan had once again used Luo Xiang’s "Love’s Protection."

She was lucky previously to have gotten a Storage Bag from Xue Gui, which raised her count of Spirit Stones to over 2000, allowing her to use this trump card.

That was the reason for Yu Qingtan’s strong confidence.

The move Yu Qingtan had just used was the second form of the Heavenly Fragrance Sword Art, Sweeping the Eight Desolations.

After striking successfully, Yu Qingtan did not stop, her body bent slightly, and she pushed the Cherry Red Sword out in front, the blade trembling slightly.

A burst of sharp sword qi shot out, targeting Butcher Blade who had just managed to stand up.

In a panic, Butcher Blade took out an Amulet and a small green shield from his Storage Bag.

However, it was to no avail, the sword qi pierced right through the shield formed by the small shield and Amulet, stabbing into Butcher Blade’s Dantian.

Butcher Blade fell straight backwards.

The first form of the Heavenly Fragrance Sword Art, Silver Toad Spitting Water.

Then, Yu Qingtan put away the Cherry Red Sword, looking towards the innkeeper and the accountant.

The Cherry Red Sword was, after all, only a high-quality first-tier Magic Artifact, which could possibly get damaged if used to continue performing Heavenly Fragrance Sword Art at the Foundation Establishment level.

However, this state of swinging a sword and letting sword qi dominate, instantly disintegrating enemies, was indeed intoxicating.

At this moment, the innkeeper and the accountant also had a layer of protective shield formed by Amulets, and in front of them were protective Magic Artifacts, one bowl-shaped and one penholder-shaped, respectively.

Seeing Yu Qingtan putting away the Cherry Red Sword, the two felt slightly relieved.

The power of the sword energy had put immense pressure on them.

Facing Yu Qingtan’s cold gaze, the two exchanged a glance.

"Let’s go all out!" Both understood the meaning in each other’s eyes.

Each took out an elixir, tossing it into their mouths.

Their nicknames were Fortune-Telling Weng and Scholarly Dog, and they were the heads of a branch of Misty Rain Tower, with cultivation levels at the ninth and eighth layers of Qi Cultivation respectively.

Usually, they killed countless people; naturally, at this moment, they would fight desperately.

Seeing the two popping pills, Yu Qingtan wasn’t about to just watch.

She took out three Silver Needles and, driven by the Foundation Establishment Stage’s Object Controlling Technique, shot them towards the two men.

One was aimed at the Scholarly Dog, who was at the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation, while the other two were aimed at the shopkeeper, Fortune-Telling Weng, at the ninth layer.

Having taken the drugs, both of them steadily rose in vitality, seeing Yu Qingtan’s attack coming—the attack’s intensity was clearly not as strong as the previous sword energy.

A vicious look flashed in Scholarly Dog’s eyes.

His beloved dog leapt forward, rushing in front of him.

Meanwhile, he retreated several steps and threw a writing brush at the path of the two Shadowless Needles aimed at the shopkeeper.

"Pfft~" The Shadowless Needle pierced right through the dog’s body and was then blocked by the brush pot Magic Artifact, yet the Scholarly Dog was still shaken back several steps.

Elsewhere, because the writing brush Magic Artifact interfered, Yu Qingtan could only control it to avoid them with the Object Controlling Technique, but its direction and speed were affected, and in the end, it was blocked by the shopkeeper’s bowl-shaped Magic Artifact.

However, by this point, Yu Qingtan had already closed in to five feet in front of the Scholarly Dog, and extended a gloved hand, pointing a finger.

A ripple of profound energy ignored the defense and reached Scholarly Dog.

He began to visibly age, his vitality weakening as well.

"Decay and Flourish Technique!" Scholarly Dog was frightened and confused, despairingly looking at his hands that were now spotted with age spots, not even able to continue defending against Yu Qingtan’s attacks.

But Yu Qingtan didn’t bother with him anymore.

On the other side, Fortune-Telling Weng’s vitality had climbed to the peak, almost reaching the limit of Qi Cultivation Stage.

Then, he spat a mouthful of essence blood onto his abacus.

Under his control, the abacus hurtled towards Yu Qingtan.

This was a first-grade top-quality Magic Artifact level abacus; the power of this strike was nearly comparable to the prowess of the Heavenly Fragrance Sword Art, Silver Toad Spitting Water, that Yu Qingtan had just performed.

In Fortune-Telling Weng’s eyes, Yu Qingtan had used some formidable secret technique to briefly gain the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

He knew Yu Qingtan’s age; a fourteen-year-old girl couldn’t possibly be a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

If the secret technique enabled her to have an attack power of the Foundation Establishment Stage, it couldn’t possibly have granted her a defensive power of the same stage, could it?

Having taken the Frenzy Demon Lifeshortening Pill and exhausted most of his essence blood, combined with a first-grade top-quality Magic Artifact, he was sure to kill her in one fell swoop.

Regrettably, just as the abacus was about to smash into Yu Qingtan’s head,

A hairpin appeared in Yu Qingtan’s hand.

A shield formed instantly, stopping the abacus three inches from Yu Qingtan’s forehead.

Seeing this, Fortune-Telling Weng’s eyes nearly split with rage, he spat out another mouthful of fresh blood as his vitality began to falter.

Yu Qingtan took the opportunity to close in and delivered another Decay and Flourish Technique.

"Misty Rain Tower will not let you off~"
