A second-rank Martial Venerable. No wonder she could block that elder’s pressure so easily.
At this moment, the tens of thousands of Soul Lock Sect troops fell into complete disarray.
Everyone knew that although the sect had produced the peerless geniuses Hun Lei and Hun Yong, the overall strength of the Soul Lock Sect itself was nothing remarkable.
Their sect master was indeed a Martial Venerable, but he was only second-rank.
Moreover, he had cultivated for tens of thousands of years and was an old monster in every sense.
Yet this Song Xue’er was clearly still a junior.
For a junior to possess such cultivation was an extraordinarily rare and terrifying existence even within the entire Nine Souls Heavenly River.
Only now did the members of the Soul Lock Sect realise they had offended someone they absolutely could not afford to offend.
“Young lady, there seems to be some misunderstanding between us.”
The sect master spoke.
The earlier arrogance and killing intent were gone. His tone had become gentle; he clearly wanted to reconcile with Song Xue’er.
Yet Song Xue’er merely gave a faint smile in response.
Then she stretched out her hand and clenched her fist toward the elder still frozen in mid-air.
Crack.
With a crisp sound, the elder’s neck was snapped from a distance.
That elder, the second strongest expert in the entire Soul Lock Sect, had died at Song Xue’er’s hands.
“I said it before. Anyone who bullies my little sister will not die well.”
Song Xue’er declared after killing him.
“Young lady, my sect’s disciples offended you, and for that I apologise on their behalf.”
“But that was their personal action. Besides, they are already dead. There is no need to hold the entire Soul Lock Sect accountable.”
“My elders and disciples here are innocent. They have never provoked you.”
The sect master had no intention of avenging the dead elder. Instead, he tried desperately to explain.
“When disciples do wrong, it is because the sect failed to teach them properly.”
“That responsibility naturally falls on all of you.”
As Song Xue’er spoke, a flash of cold light appeared in her hand, forming a silver longsword.
Swish.
The next instant, she charged into the Soul Lock Sect army, sword in hand.
Her arm swept out, and sword light raged everywhere.
The disciples of the Soul Lock Sect were cut to pieces like weeds.
“Damn it!”
Seeing that neither soft nor hard approaches worked, the sect master had no choice.
He drew his own weapon and clashed with Song Xue’er.
At first, he held back, merely trying to stop her.
But he soon discovered that although Song Xue’er was a junior, her battle power was terrifyingly strong.
If he did not go all out, he was no match for her at all.
Helpless, he unleashed his full strength.
Yet even then, he was still completely outclassed.
Very quickly, Song Xue’er’s sword struck the sect master.
The wound was not fatal, but blood poured from it all the same.
And that was only the beginning. Her sword continued to land blow after blow.
One strike, two strikes, three strikes, ten strikes, a hundred strikes…
In the blink of an eye, the once-mighty sect master was covered in wounds and drenched in blood.
Meanwhile, Song Xue’er remained completely relaxed, a smile still playing on her lips.
That smile was breathtakingly beautiful, yet to the disciples of the Soul Lock Sect it looked like the grin of a devil. It sent chills down their spines.
They knew they were finished.
Even their sect master was no match for this girl. Who among them could possibly escape?
“Stop right there!!!”
Just then, a furious roar rang out.
The despairing members of the Soul Lock Sect looked toward the sound and felt a glimmer of hope.
Another supreme elder had acted.
Though his cultivation was inferior to the sect master’s, he was still a first-rank Martial Venerable.
Most importantly, he had captured Song Yun.
He held a dagger to Song Yun’s throat.
Everyone knew how close Song Xue’er and Song Yun were.
After all, Song Xue’er was massacring the sect today precisely because of Song Yun.
With Song Yun as a hostage, Song Xue’er would surely hesitate to act further.
Perhaps, just perhaps, they could survive this day.
“If you don’t stop right now, I’ll kill her!!”
The supreme elder roared again.
Yet who could have imagined that, seeing her little sister held hostage, Song Xue’er showed no trace of worry. Instead, she threw her head back and laughed loudly.
“Hahahaha…”
Her laughter was harsh and grating, leaving everyone bewildered.
“I was only planning to toy with you a little, scare you a bit. I truly had no intention of wiping out your Soul Lock Sect.”
“But now…”
“It will be impossible for your sect to survive.”
Song Xue’er said.
“Enough nonsense! Withdraw your pressure at once!”
The supreme elder shouted at her.
Rumble.
Suddenly, a deafening thunderclap exploded overhead.
Thunder roared.
In an instant, the clear sky became covered with dark clouds.
Lightning flashed, thunder boomed, and torrential rain began to pour.
The world grew dark; only when lightning split the sky did the earth briefly light up.
“Elder!!!”
When people looked back at the supreme elder, their faces filled with horror.
They saw that Song Yun’s eyes had turned blood-red.
In the gloom, those crimson eyes were strikingly vivid and utterly terrifying.
“Hee…”
A sinister smile spread across Song Yun’s lips.
The moment she smiled, every disciple of the Soul Lock Sect felt their hearts tremble and their hair stand on end.
They were stunned to discover that when Song Yun smiled, her teeth were a row of blood-red fangs.
Though her facial features remained largely unchanged, those crimson eyes and that mouth full of fangs made her look, at a glance, like a horrifying monster!!!
And the next words Song Yun spoke plunged the entire Soul Lock Sect into absolute despair.
“So… I finally get to slaughter to my heart’s content?”
Song Yun said with unmistakable excitement.
