Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

Di Xiu raised his sword and brought it down, about to pierce Madam Liu's back.

At the critical moment, a clang was heard, and a long sword was thrust out like lightning, deflecting Di Xiu's short sword. Then, the sword was thrust into Di Xiu's chest, completing the counterattack.

In that split second, the situation took a 180-degree turn, eliciting another gasp from the crowd.

"Chi'er!" Ning Zhongze exclaimed in shock.

"Junior Brother!" The disciples of Mount Hua were even more dumbfounded.

Only Yue Buqun stared in shock at Ling Chi, who had turned the tables and killed Di Xiu, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

"What!?" Lu Bai was shocked and furious upon seeing Di Xiu killed: "Who dares to kill a disciple of Mount Song!"

"Ling Chi!"

Ling Chi was still dressed in white, wearing a tall hat, looking like the White Impermanence, with a gloomy face and cold eyes. If the blood-dripping longsword in his hand were replaced with a mourning staff, he would look like the White Impermanence routinely collecting souls.

"You're the Lightning Sword Ling Chi who killed Tian Boguang?" Lu Bai asked in surprise and doubt.

Back then, Tian Boguang was wanted by the imperial court. Because of the high reward, the Songshan Sect had pursued him before, and Lu Bai was one of the pursuers who faced Tian Boguang directly. As a result, Tian Boguang suppressed him in a one-on-one duel. If it weren't for the other disciples surrounding him and scaring Tian Boguang away, Lu Bai would have been left to die in the wilderness long ago.

Even Tian Boguang, whom he couldn't defeat, was pierced through the heart by Ling Chi's sword. Considering that even he didn't have time to react before his own disciple was pierced through the heart by Ling Chi's sword, Ling Chi's speed was terrifyingly fast. No wonder he was called the Lightning Sword.

But seeing Ling Chi's current attire, he felt that the title "White Impermanence" suited him better.

Killing and stealing souls—isn't that precisely the duty of Bai Wuchang (White Impermanence)?

Ling Chi didn't bother to reply. His gaze swept over Liu Zhengfeng's family members who were being held hostage, and he said coldly, "Don't punish family members! Your Songshan Sect disregards the rules of the martial world and indiscriminately kills innocent people. You are no different from the Demonic Sect! Today, none of you will leave alive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Chi transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged towards the Songshan Sect members.

The first person they wanted to kill was Lu Bai!

"Not good!" Lu Bai only saw a phantom before Ling Chi had already attacked him.

The next moment, a flash of blood-red sword light appeared, and Lu Bai found that he had grown taller and saw a 'Xing Tian' standing on the ground.

It's strange, her body is just like his.

That's me!

A dizzying sensation swept over him, and Lu Bai had only one thought left: "Such a fast sword."

With a thud, the head fell to the ground.

"He...he killed Lu Bai!?" Everyone in the martial arts world present was shocked, but they never dreamed that this was just the beginning.

After beheading Lu Bai with a single sword strike, Ling Chi did not stop. He turned and charged towards the nearest member of the Songshan Sect.

swish swish swish swish swish swish —

In the blink of an eye, the disciples of the Songshan Sect fell to the ground one after another, each one dying from a single sword strike to the throat, without the slightest hesitation.

In a matter of moments, none of the dozens of Songshan Sect disciples present remained standing; all of them had their throats slit with a single sword strike, their blood splattering on the spot.

"Hiss~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Everyone gasped in shock, unable to believe that such a terrifying master existed in the world, who had slaughtered dozens of Songshan Sect disciples in a mere instant. And each one had been killed with a single, fatal blow.

In a short while, the Liu residence had turned into a sea of ​​blood.

Amidst the sea of ​​blood, Ling Chi, dressed in white and wearing a tall hat, remained untouched by any blood, except for the blade of his sword.

The White Impermanence is here to take souls!

Liu Zhengfeng's youngest son fainted on the spot, and the other Liu family disciples who were rescued were also trembling, their eyes filled with gratitude...and fear as they looked at Ling Chi.

"Clatter..." Only one member of the Songshan Sect was still alive at the scene, Fei Bin, whose acupoints had been sealed by Liu Zhengfeng.

Just then, after Ling Chi had killed all the other Songshan disciples, his gaze fell on Fei Bin, who was so frightened that his teeth chattered, his crotch became wet, and an indescribable odor wafted out.

Ling Chi took a step and slowly walked towards him.

"Young Master Ling!" Liu Zhengfeng snapped out of his daze and stepped in front of Ling Chi.

Although he was grateful to Ling Chi for saving his family and disciples, seeing that Ling Chi was still going to kill Fei Bin, he instinctively wanted to let the matter drop: "Fei Bin has lost the ability to resist, killing him is not the act of a hero!"

"Hero?" Ling Chi revealed a strange smile, somewhat sinister and terrifying.

"Uncle Liu, I'd like to ask, is it the act of a hero to kill your family and disciples who were taken hostage by the Songshan Sect?"

“This…is not the act of a hero.” Liu Zhengfeng could not refute it, and even felt a bit more murderous towards Fei Bin.

Ling Chi nodded, thinking that Liu Zhengfeng wasn't so hopelessly pedantic after all.

The question was pressed further: "Shouldn't someone who commits heinous crimes and murders his entire family be killed?"

Liu Zhengfeng said in a deep voice, "He deserves to die!"

"Then what are we waiting for?" Ling Chi handed over the blood-dripping sword in his hand.

Without hesitation, Liu Zhengfeng took the Blood-Dripping Sword, turned around, and plunged the sword into Fei Bin's chest, ending his life on the spot.

Thus, the entire Songshan Sect was wiped out, and their conspiracy failed.

Just when everyone thought a storm was about to break, a hunchbacked young man stepped forward and knelt down in front of Ling Chi with a thud, repeatedly kowtowing. The force was immense; after a few blows, his forehead was broken and blood flowed all over the ground.

"Master Ling, please do justice for me!"

Chapter Twenty-Two: I'm Not the White Impermanence

Everyone was stunned, wondering where this hunchbacked young man had come from.

But Ling Chi knew that the young man who endured humiliation and disguised himself as a hunchback was none other than Lin Pingzhi, whom he had met at the mountain hotel that day.

"That's enough." Ling Chi pressed down on his shoulder and said softly, "I know about your grievances."

Lin Pingzhi paused, raised his head, his face covered in blood, and looked at him with pleading eyes.

That look in her eyes is heartbreaking.

“I can avenge you,” Ling Chi said.

Lin Pingzhi's body trembled violently: "Hero Ling..."

"But let me ask you, do you want me to avenge you, or do you want to master martial arts and personally kill your enemy?"

Ling Chi's sudden choice left Lin Pingzhi's expression uncertain. In the end, he made a choice that was somewhat unmanly, but understandable.

With a series of loud kowtows, Lin Pingzhi's voice was hoarse, like that of a dying young beast: "Please, Master Ling, avenge my entire Fuwei Escort Agency! Lin Pingzhi is willing to serve you like a slave to repay your kindness."

"What!?" Yu Canghai and all the disciples of Qingcheng Sect were shocked, and there was a constant buzzing sound at the scene.

The news that the Fuwei Escort Agency had been wiped out by Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Sect had already spread throughout the martial arts world. Although the young master Lin Pingzhi was nowhere to be found, everyone knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Lin Pingzhi posed no threat to the Qingcheng Sect.

Just like the remnants of other minor sects that were wiped out by the Qingcheng Sect.

But no one expected that Lin Pingzhi would suddenly appear at Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony, and when Ling Chi killed all the members of the Songshan Sect with his sword, he took the opportunity to rush out, bang his head on the ground, and begged Ling Chi to avenge the entire Fuwei Escort Agency.

The scheme was meticulously planned and executed, a perfect example of using someone else to do one's dirty work.

What's even more surprising is that Ling Chi actually agreed.

"Yu Canghai." Ling Chi took the Blood-Dripping Sword from Liu Zhengfeng and walked towards the Qingcheng Sect where Yu Canghai was. As he walked, he said, "You disregarded the code of the martial world and wiped out the entire Fuwei Escort Agency in order to seize the Lin family's 'Evil-Repelling Sword Manual.' Did you ever think that this day would come?"

All the Qingcheng Sect disciples wore expressions of terror. Dozens of Songshan Sect corpses lay there, their blood still fresh, and now the murderer, Ling Chi, was about to kill them as well. How could they not be afraid!

Yu Canghai's face turned ashen. He wanted to escape, but he couldn't bring himself to do something so humiliating in front of thousands of fellow martial artists. He wanted to resist, but he knew that resistance would mean certain death.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, Yu Canghai had only one choice left—to back down.

"This...this is a feud between my Qingcheng Sect and the Fuwei Escort Agency. Young Hero Ling, why get involved in this mess?" Yu Canghai's words were full of pleading: "Qingcheng and Huashan are both righteous sects in the martial arts world. Young Hero Ling, please don't do something that will hurt your friends and please your enemies because of Lin Pingzhi!"

Faced with Yu Canghai's conciliatory words, Ling Chi said calmly, "I just can't stand your Qingcheng Sect's despicable methods of wiping out entire families. Know that those who kill will be killed in return! Remember, in your next life, don't do evil again."

As soon as the words were spoken, a bloody storm swept through the scene once again, and blood rained down. Only this time, the bloody storm shifted from the Songshan Sect to the Qingcheng Sect.

Moments later, the Qingcheng Sect members were reduced to corpses scattered on the ground, and Yu Canghai was beheaded by Ling Chi with a single sword stroke, dying with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Not a single one of the more than a thousand martial arts practitioners stood up to stop him. They were all intimidated by Ling Chi alone, and didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear of being caught in the crossfire.

……

Ling Chi carried Yu Canghai's head to Lin Pingzhi and handed it over: "Take it back and offer it as a sacrifice to your family."

With trembling hands, Lin Pingzhi received Yu Canghai's head. Seeing Yu Canghai's unseeing eyes in death, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times, choking back tears, saying, "Lin Pingzhi will never forget your great kindness. After paying respects to my parents, I will definitely go to find you and serve you like a slave."

"There's no need to be a beast of burden." Ling Chi smiled. "Living well and doing good deeds is the best way to repay me."

Lin Pingzhi didn't say a word. After bowing his head three more times, he got up and left, his head covered in blood.

No one dared to stop him.

……

Sheathing his longsword, Ling Chi bowed to the thousands of fellow martial artists before them, saying, "This junior is not a murderer. It's just that the Songshan Sect is arrogant and domineering, bullying others and indiscriminately killing innocents. The Qingcheng Sect even wiped out the entire Fuwei Escort Agency for a single 'Evil-Repelling Sword Manual.' How can such heartless and insane sects be considered righteous?"

At this point, Ling Chi's gaze swept across some people's faces, and he said in a deep voice, "If no one will uphold justice for them, I will! Whether you can't stand it or want to kill me, I'll be waiting for you at Mount Hua. Come and find me if you dare!"

"And..." Just as everyone held their breath, Ling Chi suddenly put on a smiling face and said, "Those who have tasted my cooking know that I cook very well. If any friends come to Huashan as guests, please be prepared with money, since the ingredients I use are very expensive. It's a small business, so I don't offer credit."

"..."

Everyone stared in disbelief.

What's going on? Wasn't it just the White Impermanence collecting souls a moment ago? How did it suddenly turn into a street vendor asking for money?

"Puchi-"

Qu Feiyan couldn't help but giggle during the moment of complete silence.

Liu Zhengfeng was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Laughter is contagious. As they took the lead, more and more people laughed, until the whole place was filled with laughter, dispelling the stench of blood.

“This child.” Ning Zhongze was both amused and exasperated, unsure of what to say.

"Junior Brother is truly a great hero! A great hero!" Yue Lingshan's eyes turned into hearts.

The Huashan Sect disciples looked at Ling Chi with admiration and respect: This is how we should be!

Laudenau's smile was genuine, but only he knew it was a fake smile.

Yue Buqun remained silent throughout.

Things had developed beyond his expectations. With the strength Ling Chi had shown, even Lin Yuantu back then was no match for him.
