Chapter 39: Kill Them!!!

The Elder dashed forward with their sword pointed at MingYue.

MingYue was surprised by their action; she had thought they would at least try to compromise since what they were now doing was tantamount to suicide.

Both of the elders were at the late Core Formation stage; it was too late for anyone to intervene.

MingHao and ZanLu could only watch in horror as the two swords came close to MingYue's body.

Knowing it was too late for her to dodge, MingYue took out an item from her storage ring and threw it toward them.

BOOM!!!

A grenade exploded, one of the many items she had gotten from Alex.

This grenade was named the Recoil Blast Bomb.

It would burst the mana inside, releasing a shockwave that pushed everything within a ten-meter area away.

If this grenade were thrown in the middle of a forest, all the trees in the impact area would be uprooted.

This strength was not enough to knock cultivators at their level back, but it was enough to slow them down.

But MingHao, the 'young master,' guards, and everyone else were knocked back by the explosion.

The elders were caught off guard by the attack, but they were already determined, so they burned their qi more, pushing forward through the shockwave.

MingYue let her body be thrown back, but she used the momentum; she lowered her leg, letting it touch the ground, and with a graceful movement, crouched, then her body started doing 360 spins, while qi started appearing from her body, like a cold mist.

Her sword drew a line of ice, slashing diagonally from downward toward their torsos.

Seeing the attack, the elders were shocked; this made them falter for a moment, allowing MingYue's frost qi attack to hit their bodies.

They were shocked; if the sword could be explained by the Hua family taking the sword from MingYue, then this secret technique could not be explained.

They recognized it: 'Shiver of the Winter Blade,' a middle-earth grade secret technique that was a signature move of their prodigy MingYue.

A cold voice reached their ears, melodious but chilling them to the bone.

"You remember me now, Elder..."

MingYue whispered their real names in a way that made them confirm she was MingYue, "I came here just to return the favor. I thank the guidance of the family.

Those that become a hindrance to us should be killed mercilessly.

Don't worry, I will send that stupid geezer and the rest with you to hell. The Hua family is next."

After hearing her words, the frost spread from their wounds, freezing their qi and bodies. Regret? Of course, they had it.

They even cursed the patriarch, who had let everything happen because of something unconfirmed. If they had known this would happen, they would never have agreed to it. But there is no regret for the dead.

It took no time before they turned into sculptures of ice, then fell to the ground and cracked into many pieces.

In reality, the technique she used now was not 'Shiver of the Winter Blade.'

Vesa had improved the technique, making it far stronger; now it's an ancient grade 'Absolute Zero Tempest Sweep.'

If not for this upgraded technique, MingYue wouldn't have been able to kill them this easily, even though they were only one minor realm apart.

Their combat experience and means were not something she could overlook.

Seeing the result of her new secret technique made MingYue smile.

Right now, she barely understood how the skill worked; if she could truly master it, MingYue knew she could defeat someone a few major realms higher than her without any problem.

The frozen shards on the ground started turning into green particles, flowing into MingYue's body.

When the dust settled, everything was already over.

MingHao, who had just stood up, jumped to his feet and ran toward his sister to help her.

But seeing both elders had already disappeared, with only some shards of ice left on the ground along with their storage rings, his movement became slower.

He could not believe how quickly his sister had become strong; this also made him think MingYue had really become a demonic cultivator.

He arrived at her side, looking at her with worry, noticing the tinge of red in MingYue's amber eyes.

"Why? Are you afraid of me now?" she asked with a smile.

"But sis, that technique… are you alright?" seaʀᴄh thё ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Brat, don't you know your own sister? You think I would learn a technique like that?"

MingHao shook his head; the sister he knew would never opt for short-term accomplishments that sacrificed her whole future.

What use is becoming strong if they end up consumed by madness in the end?

"Good that you understand."

MingYue then took out a normal sword and threw it to MingHao.

MingHao caught it with ease but looked confused at MingYue. He didn't understand why she had thrown a sword at him.

"As cultivators, killing is just a daily thing for us, MingHao.

If someone poses a danger to your life, you must not hesitate to kill them. Have you killed anyone before?"

MingHao shook his head; he had never done this.

It should have been part of the rite of adulthood for him, something that was still a few years away.

But MingYue knew they would face more danger now with how she did things; MingHao didn't have the luxury to wait that long, and now she had the perfect target for her brother to learn.

She then pointed at their cousin, "MingHao, kill them."

Looking at his useless cousin and hearing his sister's order, MingHao's body froze.

MingYue sighed; it was just as she had expected. MingHao had a gentle, kind heart compared to her.

Even though he had a bad relationship with his cousin, they were still not strangers; they were people who had once lived together for years with him.

"If you cannot do this, then you can stay here," MingYue said sternly to her brother.

The 'young master,' who had barely started to recover, shivered in fear upon hearing MingYue's order.
