Chapter 167: Controlling the Gold and Silver Devil Guards

“Li Shuang, you!” Ye Zhao Zhao’s heart jolted hard as she looked back at Li Shuang.

Li Shuang gazed at her coldly: “When I say no mercy, there is no mercy.”

Ye Zhao Zhao’s heart quivered.

Li Shuang’s eyes were so icy that for a moment Ye Zhao Zhao felt as if she had been stabbed.

“You are too cruel. This is not how the righteous act,” Ye Zhao Zhao forced herself to say.

“Is that so?” Li Shuang answered calmly: “Since when do you define how the righteous act? Ye Zhao Zhao, do not worry. Your turn will come.”

With that, Li Shuang rose into the air and joined the battle in the sky.

Ye Zhao Zhao’s face turned even whiter.

“Do not worry. Your turn will come.”

Li Shuang’s words spun in her head like a curse.

She seemed to see the unstoppable Black Abyss Sword cutting her in half with one strike.

The fear was so strong she could not help but tremble.

Ye Zhao Zhao fought to steady herself and looked at Ye Qing Er and the others.

These people had chosen Li Shuang first and had stood with her to resist.

They carried wounds large and small, but since the Devil Path had focused on Li Shuang, they had survived.

She said, trying to draw agreement from them: “You all saw it, right? Li Shuang killed so many innocent people. That should not have happened.”

Ye Qing Er gave her a baffled look, then glanced at Li Shuang: “Innocent? They just had not formally joined the Devil Path. In their actions, what part was innocent?”

“They deserved to die.”

“If Fellow Daoist Li had not killed them, I would have.”

The others spoke with open disgust.

Ye Zhao Zhao fell silent.

[Forget it.]

These people had resisted the Devil Clan with Li Shuang and were now her die-hard admirers. What could she say to die-hard fans?

To deal with Li Shuang, she needed someone else.

For example, Luo Ming Yue and Sui Jin.

Those two should support her.

She thought it through. She did not even hurry to heal. She kept the wound on her chest on purpose, waiting to accuse Li Shuang again.

If one accusation could not shake Li Shuang, then there would be a second and a third.

One day, she would ruin Li Shuang again.

Up above, the faces of the Gold Devil Guard and the Silver Devil Guard were dark.

Those useless people had held an absolute advantage. Even if there was a gap between the rogues and the Sword Sect Disciples, there were over a hundred at the Foundation Establishment Stage, yet they were beaten by someone also at the Foundation Establishment Stage?

Utter trash.

Even they felt a chill. With their experience, they could not tell how Li Shuang’s sword worked. What kind of sword art had such power that so many Devil Path fell at once?

Wasn’t the Sword Sect a righteous school? This sword art looked eerie.

They had been angry at first, but when Li Shuang rose into the air, the two Devil Guards smiled.

She was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage and dared to join a fight at the Nascent Soul level?

It seemed her earlier success had made her arrogant.

If so, they would bring her back to reality.

They could not kill Liu Jun Cheng and the others quickly.

Killing one Foundation Establishment Stage junior, though, would be simple.

Following the Gold and Silver Devil Guards’ gaze, Liu Jun Cheng and the others saw Li Shuang soar up.

Their expressions changed at once.

“Junior Sister, no!” Liu Jun Cheng shouted without thinking. Nascent Soul opponents were still too much for Li Shuang.

Sheng Yuan’s face tightened. He said: “Do not show off. This is not a battle you can join.”

Before, Li Shuang had protected them and led their growth.

But now things were different.

After she chose to Abolish and Reforge Cultivation, she was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage. How could she take part in this fight?

The five of them were only barely holding the two fiends in place.

If Li Shuang forced her way in, she would become their weak point.

That would only make things worse.

Li Shuang did not stop. She rose higher, her voice clear: “Senior Brother, Senior Sister, when I start to count down, the Gold Devil Guard and the Silver Devil Guard will show fatal openings when the count ends. Seize the moment and restrain them both in one move.”

Liu Jun Cheng and two others were stirred.

Did Junior Sister have a way?

They did not know how she would do it, but they agreed without hesitation.

Sheng Yuan frowned: “Are you three crazy? You believe her? These are two Nascent Soul fiends. What openings could they possibly show?”

Shen Yue hesitated: “We should be more careful. If we attack with all our strength, our Sword Formation may open a gap. If the fiends catch it, we will lose more than we gain.”

Seeing their doubt, the Silver Devil Guard laughed lightly: “Little girl, what a big mouth. Do you think killing those at the Foundation Establishment Stage gives you the right to speak to me? I want to see how you make me show an opening.”

The Gold Devil Guard said nothing, but his eyes held open mockery.

Li Shuang ignored them.

She began to count, calm and steady.

“Three.”

Sheng Yuan and Shen Yue did not move.

Liu Jun Cheng and the other two focused.

“Two.”

In Li Shuang’s hand, Black Abyss slid from its sheath.

She struck again.

“One.”

This sword was called Soul Severing.

It was true Soul Method.

Anyone with a soul weaker than hers would be affected.

The greater the gap in Soul Realm, the stronger the effect.

These two Devil Guards had forced their cultivation up to the Nascent Soul Stage with an evil art, but their souls were still at the Golden Core Stage.

Li Shuang’s soul-forged strike was deadly to them.

Her sword flashed.

The smiles on the Devil Guards’ faces froze at once.

Their eyes went blank.

Now.

Liu Jun Cheng’s group seized the chance.

Sword light flickered. They shattered both enemies’ dantian, then used Binding Arts to tie them down.

By the time the Gold and Silver Devil Guards came to their senses, they were already bound tight, unable to resist at all.

The Silver Devil Guard’s face changed. She struggled on instinct.

But seals covered her from head to toe. She could not even muster a bit of strength.

In a blink, both Devil Guards were under control.

The Silver Devil Guard looked at Li Shuang with different eyes now.

What sword art was that?

No wonder those Foundation Establishment Stage fighters could not stand even one exchange. Even they could not resist this sword.

Foundation Establishment beating Nascent Soul? Was that not too much?

She demanded, face ugly: “What is that sword art?”

Li Shuang said evenly: “You do not need to know.”

Sheng Yuan and Shen Yue could not help the flicker in their eyes.

Sheng Yuan felt a mix of awe and doubt.

How long had Li Shuang been rebuilding her cultivation?

Yet that one sword made two Nascent Soul enemies give up resistance.

If she used it on him, would he be able to block it?

[Fine, I can accept being weaker than Li Shuang. But why did it happen so fast?]

The Silver Devil Guard narrowed her eyes, then smiled to provoke them: “Such a strange sword art looks like the tricks of us heretics. Did you Sword Sect Disciples secretly learn Devil Path arts?”
