Chapter 113: The Leader of the Blade Washing Society (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Liu Jie 7777777)
Qi Xinyue could sense that Cang Beichun was much stronger than her.
She kept her eyes fixed on him, and as soon as she saw him reaching out to grab her, she immediately slashed out with a wind blade technique and dodged to the side.
Cang Beichun snorted coldly.
Did she really think she could escape under his grasp?
Just as his true essence was about to lock onto Qi Xinyue, he suddenly felt a dangerous aura appear right in front of him.
If he continued to grab Qi Xinyue, he suspected his hand would be severed.
Cang Beichun didn’t dare to continue his attempt to grab her.
With a swift twist of his body, he narrowly avoided the wind blade in an instant.
*Crack!* The wind blade grazed the edge of Cang Beichun’s robe, tearing a corner of it before slicing clean through a tree trunk that Old Six had brought over.
Cang Beichun was momentarily stunned.
He looked at the cleanly severed tree trunk and then at the torn edge of his robe.
“Impressive,” Cang Beichun muttered, not showing any fear but instead revealing an excited gleam in his eyes.
This was undoubtedly a top-tier martial technique—true essence transformed into a blade, executed so flawlessly that it left no trace.
He was at the peak of the Innate Realm and could also transform his true essence into a blade, but when he did it, the traces were too obvious.
It was almost like sweeping his true essence around, which consumed a lot of energy.
“Hahaha…” Cang Beichun laughed heartily, his gaze now even more fervent as he stared at Qi Xinyue. “It seems you’ve gained quite a lot of good things in the Kunlun Mountains. I’ve also been cultivating here for many years and have had some opportunities. Since that’s the case, why don’t we join forces and explore together? Wouldn’t that make for a great story?”
Qi Xinyue simply looked at him calmly.
If she weren’t worried about disturbing Ding Huan’s cultivation, she would have called him out already.
This Cang Beichun was strong, but compared to Brother Ding, he probably wasn’t much of a threat.
Old Six had already hidden behind Qi Xinyue, looking at Cang Beichun with disdain, as if he were some shameless scoundrel.
Cang Beichun didn’t continue his attack on Qi Xinyue.
From her movements and techniques, he could tell that capturing her in the Kunlun Mountains wouldn’t be easy.
Moreover, he didn’t know how to operate this flying ship.
“I’m guessing you’re Fan Yibing from the Federal Army, right? What does the Federal Army have? Just a bunch of ragtag soldiers. Let me tell you something you might find hard to accept—a beast far beyond the level of a ninth-grade gene cultivator has appeared in the Kunlun Mountains.”
Cang Beichun’s words made Qi Xinyue pause.
A beast far beyond the level of a ninth-grade gene cultivator? Wasn’t that similar to the demonic dragon?
That single demonic dragon had torn through the entire human defense line.
If such a beast appeared in the Kunlun Mountains, wouldn’t that mean the entire Huaxia region would be exposed to its threat?
Seeing Qi Xinyue’s reaction to his news, Cang Beichun became even more certain that this woman was indeed Fan Yibing.
Only someone from the Federal Army would be so concerned about a top-tier beast.
Cang Beichun continued, “Once this beast emerges, do you think the military will be of any use? The chaos on Earth is already inevitable. The only thing we can do is improve our own strength so that one day we can leave this planet. Even if we can’t leave Earth, we should at least have the ability to protect ourselves. If we join forces, surviving on this perilous Earth isn’t impossible.”
Seeing the mockery in Qi Xinyue’s eyes, Cang Beichun didn’t seem to care. “You might scoff now, but you’ll soon realize that every word I’ve said is true. I remember before I came to the Kunlun Mountains, the Federation was planning to establish a human defense line. Of course, I don’t know if it was ever built. Even if it was, once a top-tier beast attacks, that defense line won’t hold. You’ll only understand this when you’ve cultivated to a certain level—no amount of numbers can make up for a qualitative difference in strength.”
Qi Xinyue was inwardly surprised.
This guy had been in the Kunlun Mountains for so long that he didn’t even know the human defense line had already been established—and subsequently breached.
“Before I came to the Kunlun Mountains, I established an organization in the city called the Blade Washing Society. I’m certain that it won’t be long before Earth descends into chaos, and the Blade Washing Society will become the only human force capable of resisting the beasts…”
“Stop bragging,” a voice suddenly interrupted Cang Beichun.
Cang Beichun turned his head sharply and saw Ding Huan walking out, holding a wooden spear.
Ding Huan was in a good mood.
Although it had taken him a bit longer, he had completed his plan and was now a ninth-grade gene cultivator.
The next step for him was gene foundation building.
It might not be easy, but he wasn’t in a hurry.
Compared to his previous life, his starting point was much higher now.
Even with just his ninth-grade gene cultivator strength, he would be a top-tier existence if he returned to the Changyi Continent.
On the Changyi Continent, foundation-building cultivators were rare.
A ninth-grade gene cultivator could dominate a region.
Back then, he had been saved by a ninth-grade gene cultivator.
“Who are you?” Cang Beichun stared at Ding Huan, his earlier ease when facing Qi Xinyue completely gone.
Although Qi Xinyue knew a wind blade technique, Cang Beichun hadn’t taken her seriously.
In his eyes, dealing with her would be simple.
But Ding Huan gave him an overwhelming sense of threat.
He even had the illusion that Ding Huan might not be weaker than him.
How was that possible? He was a peak Innate Realm expert, and he had gained some opportunities in the Kunlun Mountains.
Not only Ding Huan, but even Zhong Chi, once known as the strongest in Huaxia, would have to kneel before him.
“You have a branch in Luohe, led by a bald guy named Yuan Youzhen. I went and killed everyone in that branch. At the time, I was too busy to come looking for you,” Ding Huan said mockingly.
When Cang Beichun heard that Ding Huan had wiped out the Luohe branch of the Blade Washing Society, his expression remained calm, and his emotions didn’t fluctuate at all.
He said indifferently, “Even if you hadn’t killed Yuan Youzhen, I would have gone back to kill him myself. Thanks for doing me a favor. But you shouldn’t have killed the other members of the Luohe Blade Washing Society…”
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a whip shadow enveloped Ding Huan.
Ding Huan calmly closed his eyes.
He could feel the power of this whip shadow.
The killing intent surrounded him within a three-zhang radius, and no matter which direction he moved, the killing intent would instantly concentrate on that point.
Just from this, Ding Huan understood that this guy was stronger than Zhong Chi.
That old Zhong had been boasting too much.
If Ding Huan wasn’t mistaken, the true strongest in Huaxia was this tall, skinny guy in front of him.
Ding Huan still didn’t dodge.
He simply thrust out with his white-hardwood spear.
Against an opponent of this level, he didn’t even need to use his spear.
He was only using it to test how strong his current cultivation, combined with the Nine Paths First Spear technique, really was.
*Crack!*
A crisp sound echoed through the air as the whip shadows, which had seemed almost tangible, suddenly shattered like ice, falling to the ground in pieces.
The overwhelming killing intent locked onto Cang Beichun’s space, leaving him frozen in place, unable to do anything as the wooden spear appeared at his forehead.
At this moment, all the backup plans he had prepared were useless.
He couldn’t even activate them.
A voice screamed in his heart—what kind of strength was this? He had cultivated to the peak of the Innate Realm, yet he couldn’t even withstand a single move from this guy?
And he had attacked first! Ding Huan hadn’t even tried to block his whip shadow.
It had shattered and disappeared in an instant.
How had this young man found the flaw in his whip shadow so quickly?
How could such a terrifyingly strong person exist on Earth?
“With skills like yours, you think you can dominate Earth?” Ding Huan sneered.
Cang Beichun’s face turned pale.
He tried to calm himself and said, “Friend, I’ll trade you the secret of how I became so strong here in exchange for my life.”
“Oh? Then tell me, how strong have you become?” Ding Huan knew this guy had been hiding here and cultivating for so long that he must have discovered something.
Cang Beichun was momentarily speechless.
After reaching the peak of the Innate Realm, he had always believed that there was no one on Earth who could match him, whether they were martial artists or gene cultivators.
But after this fight with Ding Huan, he began to doubt whether he had been wrong.
Had he really reached the peak of the Innate Realm? Why was he so utterly defeated by a nobody like this?
“If you have nothing to say, then you can die,” Ding Huan said coldly.
The tip of his wooden spear erupted with killing intent, and a chilling aura of death seeped into Cang Beichun’s forehead.
“Wait! I’ll take you to the ruins! I’m sure there’s something there that you need!” Cang Beichun shouted desperately.
Although he was starting to doubt whether he had truly reached the peak of the Innate Realm, Cang Beichun really didn’t want to die.
He had just gained such a great opportunity.
Dying now would be such a waste.
“Old Six, bring a rope. Tie this guy up. He doesn’t look very trustworthy,” Ding Huan called out to Old Six.
In his mind, he was thinking that it would be great if he could leave a mark on this guy.
He was certain that Cang Beichun wouldn’t be honest.
But for now, he couldn’t kill him.
He still needed this guy to lead him to the ruins of the Dao cultivators.
He wondered if the ruins Cang Beichun mentioned were the same as the ones Nian Jinqing and the others had talked about.
Old Six excitedly went to find some vines.
It couldn’t wait to tie up Cang Beichun and give him a good beating.
Ding Huan, however, was getting excited.
Just as he was thinking about whether he could leave a mark on Cang Beichun, the concept of a divine sense mark suddenly appeared in his memory.
A divine sense mark was a way to leave a mark on someone using divine sense.
Even if the person went beyond the range of his divine sense, as long as he could sense the mark, the person would never be able to hide.
This was definitely a powerful tool.
Ding Huan was overjoyed and quickly began to carve divine sense marks on Cang Beichun’s body using the method he had just recalled.
It was surprisingly simple.
At first, the marks felt a bit rough, but as Ding Huan continued, the marks became smoother and eventually seemed to disappear.
Poor Cang Beichun had no idea that Ding Huan had just planted hundreds of divine sense marks on him in one go.
