Chapter 570: Mysterious Forest (III)
Lin Qingcheng stood over her defeated foes, glaring at the five frightened faces. She had dragged Yang Tie over so she could deal with them all at the same time. In her heart, she was angry but also disappointed. She didnt know if these people were simply too useless or if she had grown too strong. The fight had been too short and her fists were still itching.
What she didnt realize was that her fighting ability was actually greatly muted during the challenge tournament. Although the sword breaker was an adequate weapon, it was still a sword and she knew almost nothing about sword arts. Fighting up close with fists and kicks was her true calling. In this mysterious forest where there were no rules, she was a big boss that nobody below the lesser realms could hope to beat.
With a cold harumph, Lin Qingcheng stomped over the person who had wanted to ruin her. She gave him a hard kick, making him squeal, ruining his attempt to play dead.
No, please. Heroine Lin, please let me go. I didnt do anything. I didnt mean to do anything. Please! Yang Tie begged without a shred of dignity.
Lin Qingcheng scoffed. Evil people who were afraid to die were the most contemptible. You, say it again, what you were going to do to me.
Me? No, no. I didnt say anything!
You didnt? She asked.
No, I swear! I have never forced myself on a woman in my life!
Such a lie was so ridiculous, she burst out laughing, Good! Then you wont be needing this then.
She lifted her leg and threw a swift kick at his groin area. There was a miserable cry followed by a gurgle as he threw up everything that was in his stomach. After wailing and rolling around for a while, he eventually found enough strength to take a glance at the bloody mess that was left over.
My My impossible He let out before he fainted.
Lin Qingcheng snorted and moved on to the ugly woman who was trying to crawl away. She grabbed the offenders feet and pulled them back.
Hey you, are you a woman or a man in disguise? She asked, Do you not feel anything when you watch your brothers rape women? How can you be so cruel to your own kind? And you even like ruining peoples faces?
No, no, I didnt mean it. Heroine Lin, Heroine Lin
Lin Qingcheng ignored the womans blabbering. She hated this type of person the most. Ugly, jealous, and with a black heart, they were far more dangerous to other women than men could ever be.
Guessing that there must be something good inside, she bravely charged into the maze of peach trees. She instantly became lost and she couldn't even leave. The trees and flowers contained profound sword energy that resisted all attacks and attempts to force her way out. After many hours, despite her innate talent for comprehension, she was still as lost as ever so she was forced to spend the night within the strange tree array.
For Wu Qianyu, her day was much more fruitful. She didn't run into anyone or anything for most of the day but she eventually ran into a powerful spiritual beast that was surprisingly at the second lesser realm of Spiritual Formation.
It was a blademaster bear. It stood over three meters tall and its front claws were over a meter in length, even deadlier than the sharpest sabers. A single swipe could decimate everything in its path. Its sleek black fur was also similar to sharp blades and provided excellent defense.
She fought with the blademaster bear for a whole hour. In the end, she managed to prevail due to the unbeatable suppression that her Purple Jade Sword provided. She had intended to slay the beast but caught sight of a few bear cubs that had emerged from a nearby den at the last moment.
She was immediately reminded of the ten dire wolf cubs she took in after she killed their mother. Because of this, she decided to let the mother bear go. She was merciless against evil but this bear had done nothing wrong. It had been minding its own business before she barged into its territory and gave it a good beating.
In a show of gratitude, the mother bear gifted her a crooked stick from within its den. This was also a sword truth, born from what seemed like an old pine tree. If she had chosen to kill the bear, she would have been able to obtain the sword truth just the same but this way, she didn't have to cause unnecessary pain.
The five ice sisters didn't get into so much trouble in comparison. They were mainly focused on grouping up according to the plan. Their luck wasn't too good. The forest was enormous so they couldn't find each other on the first day. All they could do was dodge wild beasts and other competitors for the whole day. When night fell, they found safe shelter to pass the night before starting all over the next morning.
As for Bei Yingluo, she hadnt even moved from her starting location. She knew her own limits and the unreliable nature of her secret power to cross realms. She played it safe and stayed within her group of new-found friends.
Chen Wentian's disciples were all handling themselves well. It could be said that they were all sensible and intelligent women. He still worried about them but their performances today gave him enough reassurance to deal with his own prickly problems.
