Chapter 2317: Chapter 2381: Southern Sky Twin Fiends

Li Yifei’s focus had returned, and he was watching the Great Elder, forming a second True Qi Blade in his hand. Although today was dangerous, his luck was better, while the Zhao Family People’s luck was worse. Though he wasn’t invincible, it just so happened that he could perfectly counter the techniques of the two old monsters sent by the enemy, leading to the current situation — first, the poison failed, then mental control was escaped, and now this. Li Yifei had every reason to smile smugly.

"Who is your master?" Seeing another white True Qi Blade appear in Li Yifei’s hand, the Great Elder’s heart sank, his expression froze, and he coldly asked.

Li Yifei continued forward without stopping, saying, "I have no master!"

"Impossible, how can you have no master? Isn’t Murong Yuanqing your master? Your master must be someone else, he wouldn’t know these techniques!" The Great Elder’s voice even changed, a screech echoing with shock, very unpleasant.

Ten meters... nine meters... Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Believe what you will, I truly have no master. Today’s achievements are all thanks to my own efforts."

"Impossible, how many years have you cultivated? You must have a master. Is he... is he in the Indescribable Realm?" the Great Elder asked.

Eight meters... seven meters... Li Yifei laughed heartily, raising the blade in his hand, pointing it at the Great Elder, and said, "Do you think only someone in the Indescribable Realm can teach me?"

"Only someone of that realm... could be so powerful, could easily cultivate an Innate Expert through the technique of ’enlightenment’!" The Great Elder spoke, black aura winding around his injured abdomen.

Li Yifei naturally noticed it and said, "This black aura of yours is rather sinister, acquired through unsavory means. It seems you weren’t of the righteous path back then either!"

Li Yifei was just speaking casually, but unexpectedly, it seemed to have struck a nerve in the Great Elder. He lifted his head abruptly, eyes flashing with a menacing gleam, shouting, "Arrogant brat, do you think you can deal with me like this? Come on, we’ll see who laughs last."

If it were Murong Yuanqing or others, Li Yifei might have politely replied with a saying, but against this old witch, Li Yifei could only say... I’ll beat you to death, you old undying.

Thus, he pressed forward with force, even if his speed was slow, but now being less than five meters from the opponent, two steps could cover the distance while the blade’s length could strike the Great Elder.

The opponent was quickly healing, amidst a stinking black aura, Li Yifei sensed the opponent’s breath was gradually strengthening. Could this creature be a monster that would transform?

Thus, Li Yifei prepared not to give her more time and didn’t want to waste words. With the blade in hand, he stabbed. In those few seconds, black aura emerged not just from her abdomen but from her whole body, surrounding her. Li Yifei charged into it headfirst, his right hand’s True Qi Blade burst forth, piercing into the black mist, while with his left hand, Li Yifei also formed a True Qi Blade, slashing out a blade wave.

A hand stretched out from the darkness, an ugly hand, black, skinny, and repulsive, seemingly devoid of skin, flesh, or even blood vessels. The hand grasped at Li Yifei’s first True Qi Blade. Li Yifei’s speed naturally wasn’t as fast as the opponent’s, so the True Qi Blade was caught by that black hand. Li Yifei had anticipated this, so he didn’t resist with strength. The black aura on the black hand sizzled upon grasping the True Qi Blade, even causing a minor explosion sound.

With a whoosh, the right-hand True Qi Blade dissipated, and the black hand continued to reach for Li Yifei.

However, at this moment, Li Yifei’s left hand’s True Qi Blade swung thrice, whooshing towards that black hand. Clang clang clang went the sounds, as the blade waves struck, emitting a metallic clashing sound.

Is that a hand? Li Yifei saw that the three blade waves left only white marks on that black hand without further damage, so he quickly rotated his wrist, releasing blade waves at his fastest speed, while simultaneously forming a fourth True Qi Blade with his right hand.

With both blades against the black hand, Li Yifei ceased advancing, choosing to counter with blade waves.

Meanwhile, the Great Elder was enveloped in black aura, even covering her head soon, making her appearance extremely sinister.

The Zhao Family younger generation outside the field regained some hope, but there was also a shadow in their hearts. They were not only worried that the Great Elder might not be a match for Li Yifei. Seeing the Great Elder in this form, they could also smell the air filled with the bloody scent of black energy, accompanied by that swirling black aura.

These didn’t seem like the right path. For the new generation of the Zhao Family descendants, they did not know the background of the Great Elder, so seeing the usually respected Great Elder looking like a monster, some couldn’t help but show expressions of disgust.

In the Zhao Family, among these people, only a few knew the true situation of the Great Elder and Second Elder. The manager’s face twitched, he turned around and hoarsely said to the Old Master Zhao, "Big brother, the Great Elder... he’s going all out!"

The form of address had even changed, something the manager only occasionally used in private with Old Master Zhao, always addressing him as ’Old Master’ in front of others, which showed how overwhelmed the manager was now.

Old Master Zhao’s body was trembling. Although he was an expert himself and shouldn’t be like this, today’s events were too severe and even determined the future life and death of the Zhao Family. If he had known earlier that Li Yifei was this powerful, Old Master Zhao would never have chosen to confront him. Even if Zhao the Second truly was killed by Li Yifei, he wouldn’t care. Comparing a third-generation descendant with such a formidable enemy, Old Master Zhao knew how to choose.

Unfortunately, over the years, Old Master Zhao and the Zhao Family members had long been high and mighty, looking down on everything, dominating the province and even surrounding provinces. If this was told to them directly, these people would absolutely not accept it. Only when they were thoroughly hurt could the Zhao Family people wake up.

For instance, now... Li Yifei once again shattered three True Qi Blades while the Great Elder broke through two layers of True Qi Armor.

When he re-formed the True Qi Armor, Li Yifei was struck by a palm from the Great Elder, retreating continuously. It was leveraging this palm strike that Li Yifei opened up some distance between him and the Great Elder.

"Pfft!" A surge of heat in his throat, Li Yifei spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The crimson blood sprayed into the air, directly turning into a cloud of blood mist that flew into the Great Elder’s body, merging with the black fog. In the black fog, the Great Elder let out a sinister laugh, saying, "Indeed an Innate Expert, the power in this blood is so pure. I can’t wait to suck you completely dry. By absorbing you, my injuries can heal, and I can even advance further, heh heh!"

This voice, these words... was he a monster? Li Yifei’s expression became serious. Watching the opponent approaching step by step, he frowned and asked, "What kind of thing are you exactly?"

This guy seemed to have changed. No, he had turned into a monster. Inside the black aura, even his figure seemed to have changed. Originally not tall, just over a meter fifty, but now shortened to around a meter twenty, while the front and back length increased, as if... transforming into walking on four limbs...

At this moment, the Zhao Family younger generation was both happy and shocked. How had the Great Elder turned into this, they wondered. They also wanted to ask what Li Yifei asked.

"Heh heh, this old woman was once the Southern Sky Evil Twin who roamed the martial world!" The other replied with seemingly immense pride... uh, what’s there to be proud of? Li Yifei said, "Never heard of it!"

Sigh, upon hearing this, Old Master Zhao sighed. Li Yifei might not know the Southern Sky Evil Twin’s reputation, but he couldn’t be ignorant of it. In fact, the old generation of martial artists in the Southern Sky region couldn’t possibly not know these two names. In that time when corpses lay strewn everywhere and ghosts were numerous, a man and a woman seemed to emerge from nowhere, appearing in the provinces under the Southern Sky. These two were not good people, known for their sinister names.

These two cultivated evil skills, but not all evil skills are the same. What they practiced was the most infamous among evil arts, requiring living people for cultivation. The stronger the cultivation of the person, the more effective it was. In that era, there were many cultivators, but true experts were rare. These two did not know where they obtained a secret martial art. After achieving a small accomplishment, they began wreaking havoc. One day, they set their sights on a lone cultivator, disguised as siblings pursued by Japanese invaders, seeking shelter from the cultivator. At that time, many martial artists, cultivators, were united, to expel invaders and restore Zhonghua as their mission, either acting in organized groups or independently, known as heroes and chivalrous warriors.

Seeing the siblings injured, the cultivator naturally wanted to protect them. Though the nonexistent Japanese invaders weren’t pursuing, this cultivator still escorted them forward. During the night, the sister, the Great Elder, suddenly attacked, startling the cultivator awake. These siblings were no weaklings but two who practiced evil skills.

Also, the siblings had aimed too high at the time. With their cultivation, success would surely benefit them greatly. However, their actions were exposed. The cultivator, in his resistance, injured them and was about to deliver the killing blow when the siblings used a secret move, poisoning the cultivator with the Bone Erosion Poison prepared by the then Second Elder. At that time, what the Second Elder crafted wasn’t very strong but did manage to affect the cultivator somewhat.

The two took the opportunity to escape, but their trails were exposed. The cultivator contacted other cultivators, spreading the news widely. For a time, there was quite a stir in the Jianghu. Evil skills and paths were not tolerated by the righteous, as heaven and earth are unkind. Although cultivation was challenging, once achieved, it allowed them to stand above ordinary people. Hence, many cultivators believed that greater power meant greater responsibility: protecting ordinary people was logical; harming them was unacceptable in reverse.

Moreover, what those siblings did not only targeted cultivators but also harmed many ordinary people. When the matter broke out, reports of casualties emerged successively throughout Southern Sky.
