The Ancestor of our Sect Isn't Acting like an Elder Chapter 126 – Sword that Refutes Evil

Chapter 126 – Sword that Refutes Evil

It feels like there is a pair of large hands holding her neck and a sharp knife pressing against her heart.

Wrapped in endless cold, Xue Qilin's body turned rigid. Even so, she turned around without hesitation.

“I have a fierce older sister at home, I have to go back.”

Xue Qilin restrained the instinctive fear in her heart, and tried to get away by talking irrelevantly.

“Really? You have it rough.”

Jia Lan smiled gently, noncommittal.

“Yeah, it's awful! She's often resulting to violence, isn't that terrible?”

In order to make it seem more realistic, Xue Qilin even shivered deliberately while speaking.

… No, maybe she wanted to shiver since earlier.

In the other party's sweetness, elegance, and words, hidden deep inside lies something scary.

“I see…”

Jia Lan sighed, perplexed. However, there is still a faint smile on her face – a smile that gives off shivers.

Even though she is sighing, but her expression has a certain radiance.

However, behind the radiance is not necessarily goodwill, but perhaps a veiled muddy dark.

“That's troublesome.”

The wonderful timbre is wrapped by mystery, vaguely revealing some dark emotion.

“Say, if I kill your older sister, you won't have to go back, right?”

Jia Lan tilted her head, a pure and innocent smile on her face, which gives off the misconception of her asking “what's for dinner tonight?” on a whim.

Even though she may have expected something along these lines, but when the lass uttered this sentence casually, Xue Qilin still felt a chill go down her spine.

In Jia Lan's eyes, life doesn't seem to carry any weight.

The lives of strangers may be far less important than those of the people you care about, but they must still hold a certain weight. To regard the lives of others as nothing is a twisted thing.

Apparently also feeling this twisted thing, Little Jade distanced herself from Jia Lan in fear. Puppy guards her imperceptibly behind him.

“What do you want?”

Xue Qilin narrowed her eyes and took Phecda's hand. If she wishes so, Phecda will show her original form in an instant and become a fierce weapon.

“Please don't look at me like that. I just want you to teach me the trick from just now.”

For some trivial desire. Just because her request wasn't answered, it triggered her killing intent. Following you heart's desires gives off some sense of purity.

There are no values, no good or evil, no morality. There is nothing inside her except for pure emotions.

She is pure, dreadfully pure.

She is real, there is no trace of falsehood about her.

“This is not something you can learn in a short time.”

Is reason useful against her? Xue Qilin doesn't know, but she made an attempt – an attempt to avoid a fight to the death.

There are people waiting for her to return, she has responsibilities to fulfill, she has people important to her.

So she doesn't want to die.

“Is that so? Then how long does it take?”

“I don't know, it depends on the person.”

Since Jia Lan is a Grandmaster, her spiritual talent must be shocking. However, magic and martial arts are two concepts with fundamentally different directions for the use of true qi, or spiritual qi. This difference in theories and methods is not something that talent can make up for. Qi Qiqi is a good example.

“Say, why are there so many things in the world that don't go your way?”

Jia Lan has a distressed look on her face, as if she's troubled by love.

“Would you like to go back with me? Go back to the Western Regions.”

Does she really think that I'll agree? Xue Qilin thinks this is ridiculous. If the one in front of her wasn't a Grandmaster, she would have laughed already.

“Why aren't you answering? Is it that difficult to make a choice?”

“Can I refuse?”

“You can.”

Jia Lan nodded.

But Xue Qilin knows that things aren't that simple.

As if to confirm her thoughts…

“But then I will be forced to severe your hands and feet and bring you back.”

There is no reason to speak of.

It appears that this battle cannot be avoided.

For a long time Xue Qilin's motto has been “fight if you can fight, run if you can't fight”. But when the fight is unavoidable, even if it is a fight to the death, she won't beg for mercy, but instead fight with all her might.

Xue Qilin has her pride. She won't yield before a strong enemy, and will instead persevere in her determination to fight to the death.

If you have to die, you can only die standing!

Feeling this determination, Phecda held Xue Qilin's hand firmly. The two looked at each other resolutely.

Then Xue Qilin faced the martial demon lad.

“You are called Puppy?”

Even though his whole body is shaking, but Puppy still nodded heavily.

“Take your little girlfriend and tell the villagers to leave at once.” Xue Qilin took a deep breath, “Martial practitioners are going to fight here.”

“I, I got it!”

Puppy glanced at Jia Lan timidly. Her expression is still radiant and sweet, and she even smiled back at him.

“That won't do, or else I'll be troubled.”

Troubled? Xue Qilin really wanted to ask. But she knows that even if she asks, she won't get a satisfactory reply.

“Phecda!”

The moment she heard Xue Qilin's call, Phecda closed her eyes.

“As my Lord wishes.”

A short announcement sounded softly.

Phecda radiated intense light, and then lost her shape and turned into countless specks of light.

The specks of light intertwined with each other, formed a vortex that converged on Xue Qilin's right hand, contracted, and gradually depicted the shape of a sword.

“I am a sword, a sword of enlightenment that refutes evil and reveals the truth.”

The light began to recede from the tip to the hilt as if it were being stripped away, revealing a dark sword body engraved with duplicate patterns.

In the next moment, a sword with cold currents of air winding around it finally appeared in front of everyone.

Empyrean Universe.

The mechanical sword guarded by Phecda.

“Don't mind her, go!”

True qi swiftly circulated inside her, and Xue Qilin breathed out burning hot breath. Strands of white true qi rose like hot air and entangled the flame tong breathed out. There are even blue and white flashes of light.

Tattoo-like blue and white patterns appeared on Xue Qilin's body, and shiny lines extended into the magic array engraved on Empyrean Universe's sword body. This means that the lass's qi passageways have been connected with the magic array engraved on Empyrean Universe's sword body and expanded into a larger true qi circuit.

“This is not a wise decision.”

“Really? The way I see it, no matter what decision I make, the outcome won't change.”

Xue Qilin sneered.

Her eyes are dyed gold. Flames and lightning are coiling around the sword in her hand. Xue Qilin pressed her body down and put two fingers of her left hand together, ready to draw a magic array in the air at any time.

“Why…”

Jia Lan sighed in disappointment.

“Why do you always point your swords at me?”

At this time, Puppy pulling Little Jade has already ran far away.

However…

An impact spread out.

At the moment when the ground suddenly cracked and caved in, Xue Qilin saw a gold afterimage.

Even her Discerning Eyes cannot catch up to this speed.

This speed that is akin to teleportation is generated by pure power.

In just in a blink of an eye, Jia Lan appeared in front of Puppy. Frightened, Puppy backed up again and again, and then finally plopped on his buttocks.

“Why don't you listen to me?”

As if her confession had been rejected, she looks aggrieved, disconsolate, and pitiable.

“Disobedient children must…”

She raised her hand gently.

Shit! Xue Qilin feels that things are bad.

“Atone with death.”

All emotion disappeared from Jia Lan's face in a flash. At the same time, she waved her hand down. The small hand fell lightly. But Xue Qilin knows that when the hand touches Puppy, he'll die.
