I just want to kill you all, or be killed by you all.

Xuantian Sword Sect.

Crane Cry Peak.

Inside the cave dwelling of Lu Feng's ninth disciple.

A naked body opened its eyes, from which two blood-red sword beams shot out, piercing two holes in the cave's stone wall.

"I guessed right; I knew she couldn't kill me."

Li Yang breathed a long sigh of relief.

He was really panicked at the time, never expecting Ning Qingfeng to kill him.

But since I didn't sense the slightest bit of killing intent from the other party, it means that the other party definitely didn't really want to kill me.

Moreover, she has already demonstrated an incredible resurrection technique, so even if she is killed, she can revive herself.

And... this doesn't seem to be a simple matter of reviving oneself!

Li Yang sensed something was wrong with himself.

He immediately sat cross-legged on the stone bed and began to introspect.

There was no change within his dantian; it remained a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and the spiritual power, infused with the intent of slaughter, sent chills down his spine.

"No—it's my body!"

Li Yang's divine sense traveled through the meridians in his body and found that the places that were originally narrow or even blocked had become open.

My physical body and meridians were once like the streams in the mountains.

Now, it has become a rushing river on the mainland, flowing into that sea of ​​blood!

Metamorphosis!

Upon hearing those two words, Li Yang's breathing became heavy.

Mindset, intellect, and battle.

He was impeccable in every way except for his pitifully poor talent for cultivation.

Despite suppressing her cultivation level with all her might and not really enjoying cultivation, Shen Lu'er was able to prepare for Foundation Establishment in less than a year.

After more than ten years of arduous cultivation and the consumption of two Seven-Pattern Foundation Establishment Pills, he finally succeeded in establishing his foundation.

And now-

"I lack nothing!"

He knew that this was definitely a stroke of good fortune bestowed upon him by Ning Qingfeng.

"The Phoenix Rebirth Immortal Body... has it allowed me to achieve rebirth?" Li Yang murmured to himself.

He tried circulating the Blood Sea Asura Sword Technique, and the feeling of having no obstruction to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was simply wonderful!

It's like a riverbed that has been silted up for many years suddenly being reopened, with tons of water pouring down and flowing freely through the meridians.

"Damn! This is what true cultivation is!"

Li Yang couldn't help but sigh.

I used to live such a hard life.

The conversion of spiritual energy needs to be squeezed out little by little.

Even a slight overabsorption can cause the meridians to feel stretched and painful.

Now, not only can it absorb nutrients freely, but its meridians are also incredibly resilient, showcasing youthful vitality.

What is burned is not only life, but also poor talent for cultivation and acquired impurities accumulated from long-term consumption of low-grade pills.

Li Yang's transformation is not a mere "pooping in his pores," but a physical rebirth and reshaping!

He didn't know what price Ning Qingfeng had paid, but this favor must be remembered.

I'm certainly not qualified to repay it now, but if I rise to prominence in the future and can help the other party, I certainly won't refuse.

Not long after——

"Boom!"

Within Li Yang's dantian, the sea of ​​blood surged, and his aura became even more powerful.

Foundation Building Level Two!

He had only recently broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, yet his cultivation level improved dramatically.

Such a rapid advancement was something he never dared to imagine before.

To consolidate one's cultivation.

Li Yang raised his hand and took the jade slip from the cave's array.

There were dozens of jade slips containing messages.

Among them were masters, senior brothers and sisters, swordsmanship friends from elsewhere, and some strangers.

The jade slips have dates on them, the earliest of which is more than a month old.

First, open the communication jade slip of your kendo friend.

"Brother Li, are you still alive?"

"Now that you're famous, it'll be impossible for you to keep a low profile anymore."

"The situation is not good. You may have had your fill of killing in Yongning County, but you indiscriminately slaughtered so many top talents from major sects. Be careful when you travel."

such as.

He then opened his master Lu Feng's jade slip:

"My disciple, thank goodness you are still alive. Come to me when you wake up."

Li Yang immediately cursed, "Thank goodness for your mother!"

That's bullshit luck; I only managed to survive through sheer hard work and skill.

If he had performed poorly in the face of Ning Qingfeng, his fate would probably have been far from pleasant.

And what's with this talk of a chance encounter?

Yongning County is a huge pitfall! And I stupidly jumped into it.

The jade slips from my senior brothers and sisters were mainly expressions of concern and inquiry.

The jade slip from Third Senior Sister Ning Xinyao reads: "Junior Brother, that slap felt good. I will retaliate."

Li Yang scoffed, unconcerned.

We're both at the Foundation Establishment stage, what's there to be afraid of!

As for those unfamiliar jade slips of communication, one could guess their contents even with a toe:

"Li Yang! You dared to kill my junior brother! I will make you pay with your life!"

With a slight thought, Li Yang sent out a voice in response: "Come to my Xuantian Sword Sect's life-or-death arena for a battle."

"You little thief! You dare kill someone from my Taizhen Qionghua Palace? Have you considered the consequences?"

Li Yang: "Come to my Xuantian Sword Sect's life-or-death arena for a battle."

"My senior brother only uses evil magic occasionally and doesn't harm people often. Why can't you give him a chance? Are you sure you'll never make a mistake?"

Li Yang: "Come to my Xuantian Sword Sect's life-or-death arena for a battle."

Li Yang extended invitations to each of them.

The Xuantian Sword Sect's life-or-death arena is mainly used by disciples with irreconcilable conflicts.

It contains a restrictive array that balances cultivation levels, ensuring absolute fairness, impartiality, and transparency.

Besides satisfying his bloodlust, Li Yang did this for another very important reason—

No money!

Everything's gone!

Ning Qingfeng's divine fire burned her to ashes, and even the spoils of war she obtained from killing a group of geniuses were all burned to nothingness.

If someone were to challenge him, he would still be happy to accept the door-to-door delivery.

Open the last crimson-gold jade slip:

"Ninth Senior Brother, hello~ Although we have never met before, I have heard about your righteous act of killing your junior sister. However, I am the Crimson Phoenix Physique and will not fall into evil ways."

Li Yang hasn't finished reading it yet.

However, the message "Come to my Xuantian Sword Sect's life-or-death arena for a battle" has already been sent out.

It's too late to back out.

Because the other party is on Crane Cry Peak, they will arrive in an instant.

Li Yang hurriedly rushed out the door.

They arrived at a 100-zhang-tall sycamore tree less than a kilometer away from their cave.

This is a treehouse, and also the cave dwelling of the newly arrived junior sister.

"Master, save me! Ninth Senior Brother is going to kill someone again!!!"

As soon as Li Yang arrived, terrified screams echoed from inside the cave.

"A misunderstanding! A huge misunderstanding!"

The next moment—

Lu Feng arrived, his expression quite grim.

"Did you get carried away killing your junior sister?!" he demanded. "And why aren't you wearing any clothes?"

"I don't have any clothes," Li Yang said helplessly.

Lu Feng gave Li Yang a set of Xuan Tian Sword Sect disciple robes and also gave him a token for a direct disciple of Crane Cry Peak.

After explaining clearly—

"Senior brother, you scared me to death~" A girl walked out of the treehouse.

Her red hair cascaded down like a burning sunset, with tiny golden-red glimmers flowing through the strands.

Her skin was as white as snow, which made the crimson color even more stunning and eye-catching.

A faint crimson phoenix mark on her forehead added a touch of childlike gentleness to her bright face.

The moment Li Yang saw this junior sister, his eyes widened in surprise:

"Again!"

The red-haired girl in front of him was stunningly beautiful, but Li Yang couldn't muster even the slightest wicked thoughts.

Because—she bears a striking resemblance to Ning Qingfeng!

He instinctively felt that this was definitely Ning Qingfeng!

Although I don't know how someone in a mortal body could have the cultivation of the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, it's just too similar, the resemblance is making me panic.

"Li Yang, I know what you're thinking," Lu Feng explained. "But she's not an incarnation of Ning Qingfeng or anything like that. Her name is Ning Xi, and like your third senior sister Ning Xinyao, she's from the Immortal Ancient Ning family."

According to seniority, your third senior sister should call her aunt.

Li Yang, however, did not believe it and repeatedly bowed to Ning Xi:

"Senior, although I really want to repay your kindness in giving me rebirth, please don't bother me! I'm under a lot of pressure!"
