Chapter 82 - The Path of Slaughter

Translator: CinderTL

---

"Killed a level-11 creature, experience +229!"

...

[Life Level: 14 (985/4000)]

...

"You're seeking death!"

"Hahahaha!"

Angry shouts and unrestrained laughter echoed simultaneously.

Amidst the laughter, Li Chunjun twisted his body, and the sword in his hand seemed to tear through the void like thunder, striking heavily down on the golden light that shot through the air.

This time, it wasn't a flying sword; it was a true spell—Sharp Metal Technique!

At the moment the sword collided with the golden light, a visible ripple exploded from the center of the impact, scattering not only the shockwave but also the golden radiance that formed the Sharp Metal Technique.

This attack spell, which could be considered a guaranteed kill against a first or even second level body cultivator, was precisely intercepted and shattered by a single sword strike!

This scene…

Chilled the hearts of many disciples from the various Dao academies who were eager to step in and help, quickly bringing them back to their senses.

As the Sharp Metal Technique was shattered, Li Chunjun's wild laughter, which even carried a hint of madness, gradually subsided.

"Dead."

He said softly.

He looked at Jin Zhiya, whose eyes were wide open, still staring at him, trying to engrave his image deep into her soul.

The Jin family, all dead.

He had completed his revenge.

"All dead.", He repeated.

Yes.

The revenge was over.

All dead.

All dead.

"Haha, hahahaha, all dead."

Li Chunjun laughed.

A laugh of vengeance fulfilled.

A reckless laugh.

A laugh of unrestrained joy.

But amidst this laughter, there seemed to be a mist of water swirling in his eyes.

However, before this mist could fully take shape, he seemed to recall something.

"Jun Jun, I've blocked the door; they can't come in."

"Don't cry, sister will protect you; I will definitely not let anything happen to you."

"I'm not crying either; with sister here, Jun Jun, you don't need to be afraid."

Li Chunjun tilted his head back.

He closed his eyes.

"You can go; I don't want to kill anymore."

He spoke.

These words were directed at the mentor who was gathering the second Sharp Metal Technique.

Some people, deep down, never intended to harm others.

But…

"What do you think you are!? A body cultivator! How dare you come to my Chiyang Academy to kill!?"

The mentor roared.

He realized that Li Chunjun was just a body cultivator!

Perhaps a first-level, perhaps a second-level.

But he!?

He was a Dao Foundation cultivator!

Killing a body cultivator was like killing a chicken for a third-level Dao Foundation cultivator!

In this situation, a body cultivator killed their academy's disciple right in front of him and shamelessly said to let him go, claiming he didn't want to kill!?

What a joke!?

Did he really think that just because he blocked one of his Sharp Metal Techniques, he could disregard a Dao Foundation cultivator with a complete combat spell system!?

Two Sharp Metal Techniques formed one after the other!

"Not kill!? What right do you have to say not to kill!? You dared to kill our academy's disciple; your life and death are entirely in my hands! And I, hereby declare you—dead!"

"Whoosh!"

Golden light pierced through the air!

Yes!

What right did he have to say not to kill?

If he didn't kill, how could he level up!

If he didn't kill, how could he become an immortal!

If he didn't kill, how could he change his environment, reshape social order, and restore clarity to the world!?

In the vastness of heaven and earth, righteousness endures!

"Kill!"

Li Chunjun's sword tip trembled.

His keen perception allowed him to clearly sense the tearing sensation brought by the two Sharp Metal Techniques rushing towards him.

He sidestepped, avoiding one beam of golden light, while simultaneously thrusting his sword, like a thunderclap from the heavens, shattering the airwaves and striking heavily against the second beam of golden light.

"Bang!"

Flames erupted!

Golden light burst forth!

This second Sharp Metal Technique was shattered by a single sword strike once again!

Li Chunjun's body paused.

But this pause lasted only a moment, quickly overcome by the extraordinary physique of a body cultivator he possessed.

His body suddenly lunged forward.

A dragon diving into the sea! A tiger roaring in the mountains!

An unprecedented killing intent mixed with an unyielding heart surged within him!

Kill!

Go all out to kill!

Disregard right and wrong!

Disregard life and death!

Do not question the future, but follow my heart.

Kill!

At this moment, he felt the blood within him burning fiercely, and the elusive Profound Phoenix Swallowing Sun Sword Qi, which he had struggled to condense no matter how much he practiced, rapidly took shape, infused with the raging heat within him, flowing into his arm, and condensing at the sword tip…

"Boom!"

The sword tip, just a foot away from the forehead of this Dao Foundation cultivator, was directly blocked by a ripple that radiated outward!

Water Mirror Technique.

One of the basic spells of the Chiyang Sword Sect, available free of charge!

For "commoner" qi cultivators, it was a must have.

But for almost all martial artists and low-level body cultivators, this was a chasm they could hardly cross in their lifetime!

At the moment the Water Mirror Technique blocked Li Chunjun's sword tip, the mentor's eyes were already filled with a cold killing intent.

"This time, let's see how you dodge!"

The previously shot Sharp Metal Technique and the newly formed Sharp Metal Technique reappeared!

"Die!"

"Boom!"

Flames erupted!

A dark red flame seemed to suddenly surge forth from the sword tip!

A fleeting glimpse of a stunning sight!

But in that brief moment of flame shining, it pierced through the Water Mirror Technique, which would have taken several strikes to break even if Li Chunjun hit it head-on!

Like a laser melting steel.

"Whoosh!"

The sword tip advanced!

Charging in!

In the previous second, the Dao Foundation cultivator stood invulnerable behind the Water Mirror Technique, preparing to launch a counterattack with two newly formed Sharp Metal Techniques; in the next second, he was directly pierced through the forehead by the sword!

Half the sword tip protruded from the back of his head!

The expression on the Dao Foundation cultivator's face instantly froze.

How… is this possible!?

"Swish!", Sword thrust, sword withdrawal!

"Hahaha!"

Li Chunjun flicked the long sword in his hand, blood splattering, and laughed towards the sky.

He did not look at the frozen expression of the fallen Dao Foundation cultivator, nor at the corpse of his enemy, Jin Zhiya, as he strode towards the academy gate.

With the fearsome reputation of having slain a third-level Dao Foundation cultivator, everyone in the area, whether originally intimidated disciples or those eager to act, were all frightened into silence.

As Li Chunjun passed, these people spontaneously made way, not a single one daring to obstruct him.

And just as Li Chunjun was about to step out of the academy gate, he paused.

"I, Li Chunjun, kill today only for revenge! If the Chiyang Sword Sect seeks to kill me for revenge, it is only reasonable! But all who pursue me, regardless of right or wrong, good or evil, must prepare their coffins before they dare come after me!"

He laughed loudly, his voice resonating: "I abide by the rules in pursuit of justice yet no one stands up for me, the standards you set are the standards you will be held to!"

With that, he strode away, disappearing into the courtyard.

He was about to leave.

But he knew that killing Jin Zhiya was not difficult.

The challenge lay in how to leave the Chiyang Sword Sect after killing her.

The real test had just begun.

But at this moment…

In this world, there was nothing left that scared him.
