Chapter 18

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In this world of cultivation, killing enemies above their level was nothing new.

Not all prodigies were able to kill enemies above their realm, but those who could kill enemies above their realm would definitely be quite troublesome if they grew up.

Although he did not know when the Black Heaven Sect had secretly nurtured such a genius,

But if such a person lived, there would definitely be endless trouble in the future.

The sooner he got rid of him, the sooner he would feel at ease.

“You’re useless to the organization, and you still want me to clean up your mess.” The black-robed man glared at Liu Yuan, who was lying on the ground. “Throw him into the Demon’s Den. Before Number One decides on your punishment, go inside and reflect on yourself.”

“Demon’s Den?! I don’t want to go into the Demon’s Den. Master, please give me another chance. I really don’t want to go into the Demon’s Den.”

Liu Yuan’s face turned pale when he heard he was about to be thrown into the Demon’s Den.

The Demon’s Den was where the black-robed man kept demons. There, although the demons inside were not high-level, they were endless.

Unless someone came to save him, he wouldn’t be able to come out alive.

Liu Yuan rushed forward recklessly, wanting to hug the black-robed man’s thigh and beg for forgiveness.

However, the moment he grabbed it, the black-robed man suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Liu Yuan missed and fell to the ground.

And before he could react.

A kick landed on his back. He was sent flying by the black-robed man and rolled on the ground.

Immediately after, a few men in black rushed forward and pressed him to the ground.

No matter how much Liu Yuan begged, the black-robed man did not even look at him.

The black-robed man only had one thing to do now. He had to get rid of Jiang Hong before the elders of the Black Heaven Sect arrived.

However, just as the black-robed man took a step forward, sharp gusts of wind attacked him one after another.

The black-robed man was stunned and stopped.

The next second, his figure disappeared.

The sound of the blade cutting through flesh could be heard.

When the black-robed man’s figure appeared again.

Behind him, his subordinates in black had all died suddenly and collapsed in a pool of blood. Every one of them had a bone-deep sword wound on their necks. They were all killed with a precise strike.

There was only one person in the black-robed man’s impression who could achieve such precise sword techniques in the Black Heaven Sect.

“The Glorious Sword Shadow Scroll really lives up to its reputation of taking a person’s head within 100 steps. As expected of the youngest inspector general in the history of the Daoist Oversight Temple.”

The black-robed man sneered and looked up.

Gu Yiping stood tall and graceful. She looked righteous, and her long eyelashes fluttered with the wind. Gu Yiping held a sharp sword in her hand and stood there like an unshakable Valkyrie.

That fearless gaze was as sharp as the sword in her hand.

“I didn’t expect to see you instead of Jiang Hong.” The black-robed man’s gaze was cold as he snorted and glared at his sides from the corner of his eyes. “You can forget about coming out of the Demon’s Den for the rest of your life.”

The second half of the sentence was directed at Liu Yuan.

Because Liu Yuan was pressed to the ground just now, he was lucky enough to dodge Gu Yiping’s sword energy.

The black-robed man retracted his gaze and looked at the woman in front of him again. He pursed his lips into a smile and placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist. His expression was arrogant. He look as though he did not take her seriously at all.

It was no wonder he was so confident. After all, he did have the strength to back up his arrogance.

“Although the plan has been disrupted, it’s still a good gain to get rid of this woman.”

The black-robed man narrowed his eyes and let out a strange laugh.

The demonic qi was like a wave, and a dark purple aura stirred up a sharp wind.

Suddenly, his figure dissipated and silently blended into the darkness.

He bent his back and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. He only needed one strike to kill this kind of woman…

“Oh, Jiang Hong isn’t here yet? Phew, that’s good.”

The black-robed man was speechless.

However, just as the black-robed man was about to pull out his sword, Gu Yiping’s tense face suddenly relaxed. She patted her heaving chest and heaved a long sigh of relief.

The black-robed man who had hidden himself just now could not control himself. He staggered and almost fell to the ground in shock.

What the heck? Big sister, this is a life and death battle between the demonic path and the orthodox path. Why are you relaxing on the battlefield like it’s a spring outing?

The black-robed man’s eyebrows twitched imperceptibly, and he was speechless.

It seemed that this so-called youngest Inspector General in the history of the Dao Alliance only amounted to this.

Her reputation was probably gained from empty praises from her peers.

He quickly readjusted his state. Just as the black-robed man was about to hide again.

“The Chief Judge of the Judgment Temple of the Dao Alliance, Si Tianlu. Chief Judge, am I right?” Gu Yiping said calmly.

The black-robed man: ?!

“You, how did you…”

Si Tianlu’s expression changed drastically under his hood. His scarlet eyes widened in shock, and his pupils constricted. He subconsciously took a step back.

“Looks like I was right.”

Gu Yiping’s tone was calm, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.

Just from the other party’s reaction, she had already gotten the answer she wanted.

Under the hood, Si Tianlu could not help but break out in cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and frowned. His voice became colder than ever.

“How on earth did you find out?”

The identity of the spies the Sky Demon League had planted into the various large organizations should be a secret among secrets. It was the same even if they were holders of jade mirrors.

However, she… Si Tianlu’s expression darkened.

Gu Yiping had no intention of answering him. Her expression turned serious as she slowly walked towards him.

“Forget it. Since you already know, I can’t let you live.”

Si Tianlu’s killing intent intensified as he sneered.

“I have to praise you here. You actually dare to come here alone after knowing my identity. Unfortunately, you will pay the price for your recklessness and ignorance.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Si Tianlu’s figure completely disappeared.

At this moment, there was no sign of his aura in the surrounding area.

“You misunderstood something.”

Gu Yiping stopped in her tracks and pondered for a moment. She closed for a moment before opening her eyes.

“I just wanted to confirm if I found the right person. Secondly.”

Gu Yiping glanced sideways and smiled.

“Where do you get the confidence to think i’m being reckless?”

On the side, Si Tianlu froze on the spot with a stunned expression. At this moment, his chest had been pierced by Gu Yiping’s sword aura.

“You, how did you… know that I was…”

Si Tianlu could not believe it. Gu Yiping did not answer any of his questions.

In a breath’s time, five flashes of Sword Qi from the Glorious Sword Shadow Scroll penetrated Si Tianlu’s chest.

It was clean and neat.

In the next second, scarlet blood sprayed out from Si Tianlu’s chest, dyeing the snowy ground crimson.

With unwillingness and confusion, Si Tianlu fell into a pool of blood, completely lifeless.

Gu Yiping retracted her sword aura and casually glanced at the corpse on the ground. She sneered.

‘Why did she know?’

Do you really think that she, a time traveler, is just for show?

As a reincarnated person, it was common sense to predict your moves.
