Chapter 665 - Calm Before The Storm

Chapter 665 - Calm Before The Storm

Various lecherous waves of laughter filled the platform. No matter how the Misty Sect disciples roared, the approaching men remained indifferent, their faces twisted with vile amusement.

An Azure Crimson Gate disciple extended his greasy hand toward Xu Lingxhe's delicate face with a lascivious expression.

"Quick! My turn once you're done!" Urged the man behind him as time was short.

Xu Lingxue shut her eyes as tears rolled down her cheeks. She had rarely cried since she was young, but she teared up for the second time today. One was because of Liu Wuxie being captured, and this was the second time.

The atmosphere became heavy, and even the Misty Sect disciples tied on the pillars no longer spoke. Their fury was replaced by hopeless despair. They could only watch as everything unfolded.

"Little beauty, you're finally in my hands!" The Azure Crimson Gate disciple let out a lecherous laughter, and his hand was only inches away from Xu Lingxue's face. Those behind him burst into laughter as though they were in his position.

"Are you not going to strike them down and let them touch your face?" Liu Wuxie's voice rang like a thunderous rumble, echoing in everyone's ears.

His eyes shot open like two stars in the darkness, and his words left the Azure Crimson Gate disciples stunned, their eyes wide open.

"Her bindings... they're undone!" Those standing behind the Azure Crimson Gate disciple soon noticed the ropes binding Xu Lingxue. They didn't know when it had happened as they were too captivated by Xu Lingxue's beauty to see anything else.

A sword appeared in Xu Lingxue's hand as the head of the disciple reaching out for her face flew from his neck. Xu Lingxue had unleashed the fury she had kept pent up for the past two days.

"She's free!" the other disciple exclaimed. They couldn't fathom how Xu Lingxue had suddenly recovered her cultivation, and they immediately took out Communication Talismans to notify Bai Yuan and the others. But before they could crush them, a cold ray froze their hands.

Once Xu Lingxue was liberated from her restraints, she was like a celestial fairy performing a deadly dance, like a wolf in a flock of sheep.

The murderous intent she gave off increased as she recalled their vile words. None of the disciples from the three sects could hold their ground, not to mention they were caught by surprise when their guards were down.

The Misty Sect disciples tied to the pillars were stunned as they watched silently. They also had no idea how Xu Lingxue recovered her cultivation.

As the massacre continued, cold rays flashed whenever people took out Communication Talismans. No one managed to send the information out, and it didn't take long before the platform was soaked in blood.

Within a minute, the twelve disciples in charge of keeping a watch on the platform were dead. When Xu Lingxue's rage finally subsided, she turned to look at Liu Wuxie with a smile.

"Y-your cultivation isn't crippled?" Xu Lingxue asked, her voice tinged with concern as she rushed over.

"No!" Liu Wuxie said, caressing her hair. Xu Lingxue also didn't flinch and allowed him to neaten her hair. Her hair was disheveled, but her beauty remained undiminished despite the ordeal.

Liu Wuxie chose not to intervene, allowing Xu Lingxue to release her pent-up emotions. If she hadn't, these feelings might have lingered and hindered her cultivation.

Now that she had vented her fury, her energy became further refined, and her cultivation advanced.

They instinctively scanned the platform, which was plain in sight from anywhere in the Thorn Peak Valley. The pillars were impossible to ignore.

"T-they escaped!" A piercing scream tore through the dawn as more people emerged from their tents and gathered on the empty platform.

The platform was soon crowded. Liu Wuxie was waiting, wielding the Heretic Blade and defying the biting, cold wind around him.

When Bai Yuan came out of his tent and gazed at the platform, boundless murderous intent swept out. They finally realized that they had fallen for Liu Wuxie's scheme.

Deng Yong's face was terrifyingly grim as he gazed at Shen Ling and slapped him. He roared, "All thanks to you!"

Shen Ling felt aggrieved but was speechless as he clutched one side of his face.

"That's impossible! I had crippled his cultivation, so how could he have recovered?" Shen Ling roared.

Even Bai Yuan and Deng Yong had double-checked yesterday, and Liu Wuxie's cultivation had disappeared. So, no one could comprehend what was going on.

Liu Wuxie was giving off a powerful aura that enveloped the entire Thorn Peak Valley, and he didn't look crippled.

The other sects' disciples were also dumbfounded, unaware of what was happening.

"What happened last night? Where are the Misty Sect disciples?" the Transcendent Plume Gate disciples discussed among themselves.

"I always knew Liu Wuxie was cunning, but I'm curious how he recovered his cultivation," said a shocked Divine Sun Palace disciple. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. How could someone with his level of cultivation recover in just a few hours?

"Where are the Misty Sect disciples?" asked a disciple from the Sky Rift Valley. They couldn't see any Misty Sect disciples in the surroundings, including those tied to the pillars.

A pungent stench of blood came from the Thorn Peak Valley's entrance. The three sects' disciples who were guarding the entrance had all been slaughtered by Lan Ling, and array flags were set up according to Liu Wuxie's instructions.

"Everyone stays within the spiritual array! No one leaves!" Murong Yi said. She had become the leader of this group.

They had rallied all the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion disciples, and there were over a hundred and fifty people, including those from the Misty Sect. They were a formidable force to be reckoned with.

"If anyone from the three sects tries to escape when the battle breaks out later, kill them all!" Lan Ling gave the order as he looked around. Their task was simple: not to let any of the three sects' disciples escape.

The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion disciples exchanged a look with madness on their faces.

Right then, a member of the Lesser Blade Association stepped forward. They had been at odds with the Lan Ling Gang and didn't want to take any orders from Lan Ling.

"Since that's the case, you can die now," Murong Yi said as she released her aura in the Nascent Transformation Realm, striking with her palm to kill the member of the Lesser Blade Association.

Since she couldn't take revenge on Qin Dao, she could deal with the members of the Lesser Blade Association, which would make her feel better.
