QT Cannon Fodder's Record: Dekachapter 229

Chp 2281: Full of Courtesy

Ning Shu cracked the melon seeds and watched the competition in the ring, feeling very bored.

The matches were full of courtesy. Everyone was taking care not to overdo it. Occasionally, someone would cough up blood or suffer some internal injuries, though.

Although Ning Shu felt bored, the others were enthusiastic and cheered for the fighters of their own sect.

The Sacred Demonic Sect group led by Ning Shu, meanwhile, was indifferent.

"I don't want to eat melon seeds anymore. I'm thirsty." Ning Shu put the melon seeds in her hand back into the fruit tray.

Mei Wu took out two oranges from a cloth bag and gave them to Ning Shu. Ning Shu took the oranges and asked Mei Wu while she ate them, "What do you think about their strength?"

"It's too troublesome. They’re just waving their swords about, why not just directly kill their opponent?" Mei Wu said directly.

This was why the evil methods of the demonic sect were considered ruthless. As long as one walked in the martial world, there were unwritten established standards.

However, the people of the demonic sect didn’t follow the rules.

Although the competition was boring, it was also nearly over. The last few people competed, and the last winner would compete with the previous leader.

"Hahaha..." A burst of extremely arrogant laughter sounded, and a white shadow flew onto the ring.

Everyone looked at the person in the ring. It was a handsome man in white.

"It's Zhu Yang..."

"Zhu Yang of the Everlasting Sect? The one who has been missing for a long time?"

"I heard that he has 'Guiyuan Sacred Martial Arts' in his hands."

Ning Shu squinted at Zhu Yang in the ring. She saw that Zhu Yang's face was filled with complacency.

Could it be that this brat had cultivated it successfully?

'Guiyuan Sacred Martial Arts' was divided into five chapters. The first two chapters had no problems in them, but some changes were made in the last three chapters.

According to Ye Hua's words, the first two chapters were correct. If someone had successfully practiced the two chapters, they’d be eager to practice the latter ones. At that time, it was very likely that they would end up experiencing spiritual deviation and their blood vessels might even burst.

This Zhu Yang had always been lurking in the shadows and waiting for this moment to make a grand appearance.

"Zhu Yang, where have you been recently?" The head of the Everlasting Sect asked Zhu Yang.

Zhu Yang defiantly responded, "Thank you, Sect Leader, for your concern and the relentless pursuit from the Everlasting Sect during this period of time."

Zhu Yang looked around at the people present.

The head of the Everlasting Sect frowned.

"I have seen how powerful you all are." Zhu Yang stared at the winners in the ring.

"Of course, you can all attack me together," Zhu Yang said lightly, with unending conceit.

Unable to stand Zhu Yang's arrogant manner, someone stood up.

"I would like to see how powerful you are."

Zhu Yang sneered, stretched out his hand, and appeared in front of the man in a flash. He grabbed the man's neck and snapped it with a crack.

Zhu Yang let the body drop off the ring.

He had attacked so ruthlessly, instantly taking someone’s life. It made the expressions of the people in the ring change greatly.

"You can come at me together," Zhu Yang said to those people.

Zhu Yang's eyes were full of murderous intent. The group of people looked at each other and attacked Zhu Yang with their weapons.

Zhu Yang was probably filled with pent up anger at having to hide from all the people that had been hunting him down to kill him. Now that he had cultivated 'Guiyuan Sacred Martial Arts,' he wanted to take revenge and vent his grievances.

Zhu Yang killed a person, grabbed the sword in his hand, and slashed the necks of several others.

Chp 2282: I Challenge the Martial Alliance Leader

Several people fell to the ground with blood spurting from their necks.

"This is outrageous!"

"This impudent—"

Seeing that Zhu Yang was ruthless enough to kill so many the moment he started attacking him, the onlookers were extremely angry. At the same time, they were also shocked by Zhu Yang's strength.

After disappearing for a while, he actually had attained such a high level of martial arts.

Ning Shu ate the oranges expressionlessly. It was none of her business anyway. There were plenty of other people to take care of this guy.

Zhu Yang saluted Zhao Bo, who was sitting at a high place, with both of his hands. "Can I now challenge the martial alliance leader?"

Zhao Bo stood up expressionlessly. “Technically, that is correct.”

“Then, I must ask the leader for some sparring tips,” Zhu Yang cupped his hands insincerely and said.

Zhao Bo got into the ring and looked at the bloodstains all over the place. "This is a martial arts competition. Why did you take people's lives? With you being this cruel, what is the difference between you and the demonic sect?"

"Hey! What does this have to do with our demonic sect? It’s not our fault." Ning Shu said after she threw away an orange peel. "We’re here to watch, we didn't do anything."

"If a person like you becomes the leader of the martial alliance, it will simply spell doom for the world," Zhao Bo said righteously.

Zhu Yang was just a young and vigorous young man who was unable to restrain himself because he had a bit of power. He was eager to show his strengths as soon as he showed up. How could he compare to Zhao Bo's experience?

Besides, Zhao Bo had also been the leader of the martial alliance for a while. He was much more popular than Zhu Yang.

Zhu Yang’s presence was suppressed by Zhao Bo, so he got annoyed and attacked Zhao Bo first.

Suddenly, Zhao Bo stretched out his hand and hit Zhu Yang's heart with one palm, while his other palm hit Zhu Yang's dantian.

Zhu Yang spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, but Zhao Bo still didn't let Zhu Yang go. He fiercely slapped Zhu Yang in the lower abdomen. Zhu Yang vomited out a mouthful of blood, and his expression showed the extreme pain he was in.

"You destroyed my dantian..." Zhu Yang looked at Zhao Bo with hatred. His eyes were full of powerlessness and shock. He didn't expect Zhao Bo to be so powerful.

"I only abolished your dantian and spared your life. People like you, who have such formidable power, will only bring disaster to the world. You should make better choices from now on," Zhao Bo said lightly.

Ning Shu’s lips twitched. No wonder people would say an older fox is more cunning, and that older ginger is spicier. Zhao Bo's attack directly destroyed Zhu Yang's foundation of martial arts. He turned him into a martial artist who could no longer cultivate. Zhao Bo couldn’t have chosen a worse punishment for him.

Without the ability to protect himself, anyone would be able to kill him. Moreover, he just killed several people so arrogantly.

These people were all elite players of various sects. It’d be strange if they let Zhu Yang go.

Zhao Bo also received a benevolent commendation for not taking anyone's life.

"Leader! Leader!"

The people around were shouting in unison.

Zhao Bo made a gesture of pushing downwards with his hands. "Thank you all for your support. In the future..."

"Wait!" Ning Shu flew into the ring, "After watching for so long, I would like to exchange blows with you too. I can’t waste this trip, right?"

"Demonic temptress! What right do you have to meddle in us renowned righteous sects choosing the leader of the martial alliance?"

"The demonic sect is here to make trouble."

In an instant, these sects drew their swords and looked at the people of the Sacred Demonic Cult vigilantly.

Ning Shu didn't change her expression. "I heard that Leader Zhao's martial arts are strong and on top of that, he has practiced 'Guiyuan Sacred Martial Arts.' He is probably now the strongest in the world. I want to experience fighting against it."

"I'm cultivating the inner strength and mind method of my Zhao Clan Stronghold. It's not 'Guiyuan Sacred Martial Arts.' You have repeatedly said that I have 'Guiyuan Sacred Martial Arts,' but you only want to cause chaos for the righteous." Zhao Bo stood opposite Ning Shu and stuck out his chest.

He looked like a benevolent hero.

"The righteous?" Ning Shu said contemptuously. "Come fight me. Isn't Martial Alliance Leader Zhao a few decades old? Yet you’re afraid of fighting a little girl like me. Is it because you're afraid that you won't be able to beat me?"

"I don't bully the small folk. Not to mention the fact that you’re a woman." Zhao Bo didn't take Ning Shu seriously.

Chp 2283: Then Come Kill Me

Ning Shu waved at Mei Wu, who took out the sword from his waist and threw it to Ning Shu on the stage.

Ning Shu grabbed the hilt of the sword and didn't bother to say anything to Zhao Bo. She simply took the sword and attacked.

Zhao Bo avoided Ning Shu's attack, and said with an ashen face: "Demonic Temptress, you’re courting death."

"Then come kill me." Ning Shu stabbed Zhao Bo.

Zhao Bo finally fought Ning Shu seriously. His face became more and more grave as time went on.

The others saw that this witch of the demonic sect was on par with the martial alliance leader. Were the people of the demonic sect so powerful?

Zhu Yang killed a few people with a wave of his hand, and Zhao Bo abolished Zhu Yang's martial arts with a wave of his hand. Now that the demonic temptress was actually fighting the alliance leader on equal grounds, did it mean that the demonic temptress was actually stronger than the alliance leader?

Ning Shu mobilized the energy in her dantian. She took her sword and slashed at Zhao Bo's sword. Zhao Bo's body sank. He felt like a boulder was pressing on him.

The power of this demonic witch was so great!

Zhao Bo became more serious. He was exuding a powerful force all over his body. One could only wonder if it was a little difficult for him to control this force, as the blue veins on his forehead bulged.

Ning Shu cracked her neck. "Are you serious now?"

Zhao Bo attacked Ning Shu first. This time, Zhao Bo's body was much lighter, and his attack became more lethal.

Their swords collided and created sparks.

Although Zhao Bo's power was explosively strong, he probably had yet to grasp this power completely. Although he had this power, he did not know how to use it.

Ning Shu, however, had the advantage of having mastered her power and being in perfect command of her strength.

Ning Shu put a foot on Zhao Bo's chest and kicked Zhao Bo out of the ring. He spat out some blood.

Ning Shu flew off the ring and pointed her sword toward Zhao Bo's heart.

Zhao Bo rolled around on the ground as Ning Shu's sword stabbed the ground. Each time she failed to maul him, Ning Shu would pull out her sword and try to stab Zhao Bo again.

Ning Shu flicked away Zhao Bo's sword and kicked Zhao Bo to the ground with one kick. Her sword stabbed toward Zhao Bo's heart. Zhao Bo held the blade tightly to prevent his heart from being pierced by the blade.

The blade cut his hand, and blood flowed out from the palm of his hand.

"Hand over the 'Guiyuan Sacred Martial Arts' manual. If I didn't guess wrongly, you have practiced it." Ning Shu's face was fierce. The breeze was blowing her hair, and the bell on her waist made a crisp sound.

At first glance, it seems that she was indeed a beautiful temptress.

"Amitabha." Hui Ji stood up and performed a Buddhist mudra. "Female Benefactor, there will be retribution for malice..."

"Shut up and go play on the side. The adults have things to do." Ning Shu didn't want to listen to his Amitabha chantings.

Ning Shu squinted her eyes, and simply decided to kill Zhao Bo. Qi Yi was already gone. If she killed Zhao Bo now, her task would be almost completed.

These two were the primary culprits of the matter.

Feeling Ning Shu’s fierce murderous aura, Zhao Bo's face turned pale. He used all his strength to push Ning Shu a couple of steps back.

Zhao Bo didn't want to fight Ning Shu anymore. Instead, he wanted to run away.

Ning Shu used the sword and stabbed Zhao Bo in the back. No matter what, she’d kill Zhao Bo today.

Zhao Bo grabbed a sect disciple and pushed him towards Ning Shu, trying to buy time to escape.

Seeing the dazed and fearful disciple pushed by Zhao Bo, Ning Shu forcibly withdrew her sword. Zhao Bo took this opportunity to escape.

Ning Shu dodged the disciple who bumped into her. She didn't know which sect that disciple belonged to. Anyway, he wasn't from the Sacred Demonic Cult.

"Follow me." Ning Shu shouted to the people of the Sacred Demonic Cult.

Mei Wu threw away the fruit tray in his hand and chased toward the direction in which Zhao Bo disappeared with the Sacred Demonic Cult group members.

However, this old Zhao Bo was very cunning. He had immediately disappeared without a trace.

"Young Miss, he’s gone." Mei Wu said to Ning Shu who was astride a horse.

Chp 2284: Such an Expensive Counterfeit Toy

Ning Shu frowned. She turned on the tracking system, but couldn't find Zhao Bo.

Ning Shu: →_→

It was the same every single time. All of these tools had some sort of limitation.

For example, this tracking system could only locate important people, such as protagonists. It couldn’t locate ordinary passers-by at all.

It was such an expensive counterfeit toy. Who even made this thing!?

She wanted to give them a 1-star rating. Weren’t they just blatantly scamming the task-taker population!?

This tracking system probably detected someone according to their fortune or merits.

However, Zhao Bo was the martial alliance leader. Why couldn’t she search for him?

What Ning Shu didn’t know was that Zhao Bo actually died shortly after Qi Yi returned to Zhao Clan Stronghold in the original storyline. He was actually a minor character, meant only to decorate Qi Yi's family background.

As for their true relationship, Ning Shu just didn't know.

"Go to the Zhao Clan Stronghold." Ning Shu kicked her horse's stomach and led the group of black-clothed Sacred Demonic Cult members to the Zhao Clan Stronghold.

As soon as she arrived at the Zhao Clan Stronghold, she rushed into it.

"Where's Zhao Bo?" Ning Shu stared at the disciples of Zhao Clan Stronghold who were gathered around her.

"Who are you!? How dare you enter the Zhao Clan Stronghold with such swagger, do you know what place the Zhao Clan Stronghold is?" Zhao Linger pointed at Ning Shu.

"Where's Zhao Bo?" Ning Shu said lightly.

"My husband went to the martial alliance conference and has yet to come back. Please come back next time," Mrs. Zhao said calmly.

Could it be that he hadn't come back?

"Oh, aren't you the person by Zhao Yi's side, you..." Zhao Linger looked puzzled when she saw Mei Wu.

Ning Shu waved at Mei Wu, but Mei Wu didn't quite understand what Ning Shu wanted to do this time. "You want me to kill them all?"

As soon as Mei Wu said this, the Zhao Clan Stronghold members became nervous. Zhao Linger's face turned ashen. "Do you know who my father is!? You dare..."

"Your father may have some ability, but you don’t. Who would be scared when you use your father's name?" Ning Shu grinned and continued, "My brother is also the leader of the demonic sect."

"Demonic sect? You are from the demonic sect?" Zhao Linger looked a little frightened and clutched Mrs. Zhao's arm tightly.

Ning Shu bared her shiny teeth. "That’s right. We’re people from the demonic sect who can kill people without even blinking an eye."

Ning Shu waved her hand, and Mei Wu asked, "Do I kill them all?"

"Burn the place. Burn the entire Zhao Clan Stronghold," Ning Shu said lightly.

"Yes."

The demonic sect members immediately dispersed and went to set fire to the Zhao Clan Stronghold.

Ning Shu turned around and left the Zhao Clan Stronghold. After a while, smoke was billowing from Zhao Clan Stronghold, and everyone in Zhao Clan Stronghold was busy putting out the fire.

The place that was burned before was only just repaired, and now it was burned again.

"Let’s head back," Ning Shu said when everyone returned to her.

The group went back to the Sacred Demonic Peak in a grand manner.

Back at the Sacred Demonic Peak, Ning Shu sent someone to inquire about Zhao Bo. Zhao Bo was missing, and he did not return to Zhao Clan Stronghold at all.

No one knew where he had decided to hide.

"Young Miss, the sect leader asked you to come over for lunch," the maid outside the door said to Ning Shu.

"Got it." Ning Shu got off the couch and went to the main hall.

"Sect Leader." Ning Shu saluted Ye Hua.

Ye Hua, who was sitting on a chair, nodded. "Sit down."

Chp 2285: Just Call Me Brother

Ning Shu didn't know what Ye Hua wanted from her, so she sat next to Ye Hua and asked, "What matter has the sect leader called this subordinate for?"

"There's no one else here, you can just call me Brother." Ye Hua poured a cup of tea and drank it.

"You want tea? Pour it yourself," Ye Hua said.

Ning Shu nodded, poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly. A maid came with the food.

"It's been a long time since we ate together, so we'll eat together today," Ye Hua said.

Ning Shu: →_→

He usually ignored her. Why did he suddenly want to have a meal together?

"Thank you, Brother."

"Eat."

Ning Shu picked up her chopsticks and ate. Neither of them spoke at all. All that could be heard was the sound made by the bowl and chopsticks.

The sect leader's food tasted really good, though.

"Hong Ye, I heard that you defeated Zhao Bo?" Ye Hua asked indifferently.

"That is true." It was something that many people saw, and Ning Shu didn't plan to hide it.

Ye Hua put down his chopsticks and took a sip of his tea, "I remember that you started practicing martial arts at the age of seven. As of now, you’ve barely practiced martial arts for eight years. How can you defeat Zhao Bo?"

"It’s because what I practice is a very powerful secret art," Ning Shu said directly.

"What secret art? Where did you get it?" Ye Hua lifted his chopsticks and picked up some vegetables.

"Brother, you know the mountains and forest behind the Sacred Demonic Peak? I found a secret manual and a set of bones buried in the dirt there," Ning Shu made up some nonsense.

"Oh, is that so?" Ye Hua's face was indifferent. Ning Shu couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"Yes." Ning Shu nodded.

"Where is the manual?"

"It's in my room, does Brother want it? I'll go get it for you, Brother."

"There’s no rush. What about those bones?"

"I had Mei Wu bury them."

Mei Wu’s face didn’t change one bit as he heard this. It was as if he had accepted his fate of being Ning Shu’s scapegoat for anything. That was right, he did everything, it was all him!

After he finished eating, Ye Hua wiped and rinsed his mouth. He then said to Ning Shu, “Come and dine with me for dinner as well."

"Thank you, Brother." Ning Shu left the hall.

Mei Wu followed behind Ning Shu and asked in a low voice, "What secret manual do you have? When did I bury some bones?"

"Whatever I say goes."

"Sure, but what about the secret manual? The sect leader asked to have dinner with you tonight just to have you take the secret manual to him," Mei Wu said. "If the sect master suspects you and he kills you, would that mean Young Miss wouldn’t be able to come back? "

"I'm prepared for that." Ning Shu was not worried, because her Unsurpassable Martial Arts was a bit more powerful than these ordinary cultivation methods. Its cultivators directly absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

She had shown her combat prowess, so it was bound to arouse suspicion.

"Is there any news about Zhao Bo?" Ning Shu asked Mei Wu. Some time had passed. How could there be no news at all regarding Zhao Bo?

The renowned righteous sects were like a headless fly now, but at least they were all minding their own businesses.

"There’s no news about him. The person sent to monitor Zhao Clan Stronghold said that he did not return to Zhao Clan Stronghold, and the people from Zhao Clan Stronghold are also looking for him," Mei Wu said.

Ning Shu nodded and then began to cultivate again. The undercurrents were surging in the martial world now. A terrible event could break out at any time.

2333 hadn’t notified her to leave the world, indicating that this task wasn’t completed yet.

It was a pity that she couldn't kill Zhao Bo. She always felt that Zhao Bo was a thorn in her side.

He had even practiced 'Guiyuan Sacred Martial Arts.’ Although the last three chapters had errors, the first two chapters were completely correct.

Zhao Bo and Zhu Yang both had spiritual roots, so they could cultivate the rare art.

Ning Shu originally thought that Zhao Bo would not succeed in cultivating it, but she did not expect that Zhao Bo had spiritual roots too.

Chp 2286: This Is the Manual I Found

Ning Shu didn’t know if Zhao Bo would experience spiritual deviation, though.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Ning Shu's mind until she finally calmed down and started to cultivate. It was useless to think about it. Plus, once she was strong she wouldn’t need to be afraid of anything.

In the evening, the maid came over and asked Ning Shu to go to the hall for dinner with Ye Hua. Ning Shu stopped cultivating and took out a yellowed and worn book from the box on the dresser.

Ning Shu had purposefully designed the book to seem ancient before she wrote Unsurpassable Martial Arts on it.

Ning Shu walked towards the hall with the secret manual, and Mei Wu asked, "Will the leader believe you with just this?"

"He will."

"Brother, this is the manual I found. Take a look at it." Ning Shu handed Ye Hua the tattered book.

Ye Hua stretched out a hand, which was as white as jade, to take it. He flipped through it casually, then put it aside. "So it’s this kind of secret manual. Hong Ye, you didn’t come to ask anyone before casually cultivating it. You shouldn’t be so careless with the matter of martial arts."

"Brother was too busy. When I was young, I thought it was fun, so I cultivated it by myself," Ning Shu said.

"Have you given this secret manual for others to cultivate?" Ye Hua asked.

Ning Shu shook her head. "No."

The maid brought out the food. Ye Hua raised his chin toward Ning Shu and said, "Let's eat."

Ning Shu picked up her chopsticks to eat and then left obediently after eating.

Ning Shu guessed that Ye Hua would definitely cultivate the Unsurpassable Martial Arts. After all, she had already displayed its fighting power.

With Ye Hua's scheming ways, this secret manual would definitely not be handed over for others to cultivate.

If this secret manual was really so powerful, only successive generations of sect leaders would be able to practice it.

Moreover, this manual did not have any conditions like requiring spiritual roots to cultivate it.

As for what Ye Hua would decide to do with this manual, Ning Shu had no control over it. Ye Hua had the supreme right in the Sacred Demonic Cult.

After the issue with Ye Hua was muddled through, Ning Shu began to cultivate again.

However, a major event suddenly happened in the martial world. The Everlasting Sect had surrendered and pledged their allegiance to Zhao Clan Stronghold.

It was caused by Zhao Bo, who suddenly showed up after his long disappearance. He went to the Everlasting Sect alone and beat everyone in the Everlasting Sect to their knees.

They were then asked if they would submit. If they did not submit to the Zhao Clan Stronghold, they were told that the Everlasting Sect would disappear forever.

The Everlasting Sect was thus placed under the banner of Zhao Clan Stronghold.

Next was Plum Blossom Villa. Zhao Bo also dealt with the group of people by himself.

Plum Blossom Villa actually resisted more intensely. Zhao Bo had to kill the leader of the Plum Blossom Villa and its most powerful members before the Plum Blossom Villa was also subjugated by Zhao Clan Stronghold.

In a short period of time, three sects were crippled by Zhao Bo and incorporated into Zhao Clan Stronghold.

The other sects were trembling with fear, not knowing if it will be their turn next.

Zhao Bo was simply crazy!

When Ning Shu heard the news, she thought of what Zhao Bo told her in the past. He wanted to unify the martial world.

After unifying those renowned righteous sects, what he planned to do next was to rally them and attack the demonic sect.

Did this Zhao Bo have the halo of a male protagonist?

He suddenly turned into a Super Saiyan.

He didn't even do superficial work, and directly used violence to make people surrender.

He even did it all with godlike speed.

Ning Shu hurriedly went to Ye Hua and asked him to prepare for what was coming early.

Ye Hua was instructing his subordinates. He frowned, obviously already aware of it.

"Brother, I think the two correct chapters of 'Guiyuan Sacred Martial Arts' are lethal enough even by themselves. Now Zhao Bo has become very powerful."

Ning Shu said that to Ye Hua.

Ye Hua looked at Ning Shu expressionlessly. "Are you blaming me?"

"No." Ning Shu shook her head. How could she say 'yes' with that expression on Ye Hua’s face?

Chp 2287: To Save Face?

"If a secret manual is full of flaws, would other people cultivate it?" Ye Hua said lightly. "Now that Zhao Bo has done such a thing, it shows that he has already become a little insane and is unable to follow reason."

Ning Shu: Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha...

Ning Shu's heart burst into indiscriminate laughter. Was Ye Hua saying this to save face?

"Then we have to plan early. If we wait until he finishes gathering people, we will be out of luck," Ning Shu said to Ye Hua.

"The Sacred Demonic Peak is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If they want to attack, it will not be easy for them. I will arrange the defense."

"What if there are still people like Qi Yi in our sect?" The terrain of the Sacred Demonic Peak was complicated, with endless twists and turns. However, a person who had lived for a long time in the Sacred Demonic Peak would find it very familiar.

"I am aware of the situation." Ye Hua waved his hand at Ning Shu.

Seeing that Ye Hua didn't want to talk to her, Ning Shu left. She went out of the hall to ask Mei Wu, "How is the situation now?"

"Two more sects have already been taken under Zhao Clan Stronghold. There are also some little-known sects who want to take advantage of the situation and join Zhao Clan Stronghold of their own initiative," Mei Wu said.

Ning Shu smacked her lips. Two more sects had been wiped out.

"Zhao Bo beat them all down by himself? What in the world is Zhao Bo's strength?" Ning Shu was a little surprised. Was he really that powerful?

Even if he had cultivated the rare art, how could he do it so quickly? Many monks cultivated their art for more than a hundred years and yet were still at the novice level.

Perhaps Zhao Bo really was experiencing spiritual deviation.

"According to the person who inquired about the news, he was indeed alone. He’s very powerful."

Ning Shu: ...

The martial world was repeatedly beset by storms. Zhao Bo made forceful moves, clearly determined to unify the martial world.

In the end, Zhao Bo was too lazy to go to each sect, so he just told the other sects to surrender themselves obediently. If they didn’t, then they’d be destroyed.

Each sect and group had its own inheritance to pass on to future generations. But if they joined Zhao Clan Stronghold, their inheritance would belong to Zhao Clan Stronghold. It was only natural that they were at least hesitant.

As a result, Zhao Bo then chose a sect that resisted the most fiercely and made an example out of them by massacring them.

Soon, some sects took the initiative to surrender themselves.

Ning Shu heard that Zhao Bo directly killed an entire sect and thought that he must have gone insane.

Even the demonic sect would not necessarily do such a thing, although, of course, that didn’t mean that they didn’t have the ability to.

At this rate, Zhao Bo would soon be able to unify the martial world for thousands of years. Applause~~~~

In addition to paying attention to Zhao Bo's moves, Ning Shu accelerated the pace of her cultivation. She wondered if Zhao Bo had eaten some heavenly treasure to become so powerful in such a short time.

Ye Hua also began to cultivate the secret manual given by Ning Shu. Sometimes, he’d call Ning Shu over like a lord to ask questions regarding cultivation.

Ning Shu: →_→

Someone asking for help should have the attitude of someone seeking help.

Ning Shu would still explain to him step by step, though.

Then, Ye Hua would nod, then wave his hand at Ning Shu to dismiss her.

Ning Shu's heart would become filled with curses every time, but her face remained extremely calm.

"Miss, Illusory Temple has also joined the Zhao Clan Stronghold." Mei Wu walked in front of Ning Shu and said to Ning Shu. "All the renowned righteous sects belong to the Zhao Clan Stronghold now."

Ning Shu frowned. Even the Illusory Temple couldn't escape this matter. As long as they lived in this world, no one could stay out of its affairs.

If you couldn’t control your own destiny, and you couldn't save yourself, how could you talk about saving the world?

Little monk Hui Ji, please successfully convert and save your martial alliance leader!

"The situation is tense now. Zhao Clan Stronghold will probably come to attack us soon." Mei Wu said worriedly.

"What are you afraid of? I’ll destroy them."

Mei Wu: →_→

Meanwhile, everyone in the Sacred Demonic Peak was busy making various defensive arrangements.

Chp 2288: Clear, Peaceful, and Compassionate

The atmosphere felt rather suffocating. It was like they were in the calm right before the storm.

Zhao Bo came quicker than they had estimated. He quickly brought his newly gotten sects together to attack the demonic sect.

Soon, he had managed to surround the Sacred Demonic Cult.

Ning Shu looked down at the sun-tanned people below, from each and every sect.

Even the monks of the Illusory Temple wore the clothes of Zhao Clan Stronghold disciples, though they looked out of place with their bald heads.

Hui Ji was also among them. He sensed Ning Shu's eyes, raised his head, and looked at Ning Shu.

Even though they were far apart, Ning Shu could still see that his eyes were clear, peaceful, and compassionate.

This kid...

Ning Shu looked away. He was indeed the most steadfast of those Buddhist monks.

When faced with such a sudden incident, he was even calmer than some of the older monks.

These renowned righteous sects were still coming to attack the demonic sect. Although the process and the protagonists were different, it still tried to follow the original storyline

Really, who on earth did the Sacred Demonic Cult provoke? Why were these people so dead set on attacking the demonic cult!?

What righteous or evil path? They were both the same. All human hearts were the same.

Ning Shu stared at Zhao Bo, who was in the lead. Zhao Bo was suspended in the air, and his hair was all white.

Zhao Bo was only forty years old. At the martial alliance conference, his hair hadn’t looked like this.

His hair had turned white overnight. The more he cultivated, the younger he should’ve become. After all, cultivation would normally improve the quality of one’s health.

Ning Shu asked Ye Hua, who was next to her, about this. "Since his hair is white, does it mean he’s really experiencing spiritual deviation?"

Ye Hua didn't answer her.

Ning Shu didn't care about Ye Hua's damned attitude. He had always pretended to be high and mighty anyway.

"Long time no see, Ye Hua. You are still so weak," Zhao Bo said. "You are a far cry from what your father was."

“Yes, I haven’t seen you for some time. You are old as usual, isn’t it about time you enter your coffin?” Ye Hua lightly said.

The conversation between these two practically smelled of gunpowder.

"He has fought with Father?" Ning Shu asked Ye Hua.

Ye Hua's expression was contemptuous. "He took advantage of Father's serious injury and ambushed him. Otherwise, how could he have become the martial alliance leader?"

Ning Shu was dumbfounded. How could these people treat the demonic sect members like they were trophy animals?

It seemed that if one severely damaged the demonic sect, they’d get to become the martial alliance leader.

"Your Sacred Demonic Cult indiscriminately kills innocent people. Today, the Sacred Demonic Cult will disappear from the martial world," Zhao Bo said loudly.

"Exterminate the demonic sect!"

"Exterminate the demonic sect!"

These people shouted feebly, evidently not having the same wish.

Ye Hua simply sneered to express his disdain.

"Ye Hua, let me see if you have made any progress and how you compare to your father," Zhao Bo said while launching a fierce attack on Ye Hua.

Ye Hua did not show any weakness, and the two began their fight.

The two people started fighting, while the two sides watched them fight. If it wasn't for the wrong atmosphere, Ning Shu would have wanted to applaud. This was much more exciting than the fights at the martial alliance conference.

Zhao Bo was very strong, but Ye Hua was no weakling either. The two sides fought each other, and the energy spread to the surrounding area. Even mountain rocks were split open because of them.

One black and one green figure flickered. If one didn't look carefully, one wouldn't be able to see the position of these two fighting men at all.

It turned out that Ye Hua's martial arts were great. In the original plot, it was only because he was forced to take drugs that his whole body’s veins burst and he was nerfed.

No one knew who was more powerful now: Qi Yi from the original plot, or Zhao Bo.

Chp 2289: The Son Is Not as Good as the Father

The two sides stood opposite each other, closely watching Zhao Bo and Ye Hua who were fighting so close in proximity that they looked like they were intertwined.

In the end, Ye Hua was a little weaker and lost.

Ye Hua stepped back. His face was pale, and there was blood on the corner of his mouth. He was obviously injured.

"Brother, are you alright?" Ning Shu took out a medicine bottle and took out a medicine pill. "This is the healing medicine made by Elder Shen, eat it. Hurry."

Ye Hua took the medicine and ate it.

"Ye Hua, you are much weaker than your father. The son is not as good as the father." After defeating Ye Hua, Zhao Bo looked quite high-spirited and complacent.

Ning Shu flew out. "As usual, the elder bullies the younger. Are you not ashamed of being an elder who shows off his age? During the martial arts conference, I was able to beat you black and blue, and I can beat the crap out of you again now."

"Presumptuous! Do you have the right to speak here?" Zhao Bo's white hair fluttered, and his expression was twisted.

Ning Shu sneered. "Old thing, what are you playing at?"

Ning Shu mobilized the energy in her dantian. After a period of cultivation, Ning Shu's strength had become stronger.

Ning Shu clenched her fist. A white, almost transparent dragon head appeared from her fist and roared silently. As Ning Shu punched, the dragon's head became more and more fierce.

Zhao Bo's expression became serious and he fought back fiercely at Ning Shu.

Every time Ning Shu clenched her hand into a fist, a ferocious dragon head would appear.

Ye Hua saw Ning Shu's fist and raised his eyebrows.

Every time Zhao Bo blocked Ning Shu's fist, he felt a powerful force that shook his whole body. Even his bones were shaking because of it.

Zhao Bo’s luck was good, though. The aura around his body became stronger and stronger, making it difficult for everyone present to breathe.

Ning Shu, who was facing him, felt particularly pressured.

Ning Shu sneered. Looking at Zhao Bo's appearance, she suspected that he had cultivated the latter chapters.

Zhao Bo's eyes were a little red, and the blue veins on his face were stirring like earthworms.

Ning Shu stood in the air and released the energy in her body. An incorporeal dragon-shaped energy roared toward Zhao Bo, passing directly through his body several times.

Ning Shu flew over and slapped Zhao Bo in the heart with a palm. Zhao Bo vomited blood and flew through the air, hitting the stone wall. He then spat out another mouthful of blood.

As Zhao Bo stared at Ning Shu, his eyes became more and more scarlet. The blue veins on his face and neck would bulge before disappearing by the next moment as if earthworms were stirring in his skin. He looked particularly horrifying.

"Kill this evildoer of the demonic sect for me!" Zhao Bo roared.

“Stronghold Leader, this… The demonic sect is too strong. I’m afraid we will suffer heavy losses,” a person said.

"I said, go fight! Whoever doesn't want to will be killed without mercy." Zhao Bo slapped his own ally, the one who had talked back to him, to death.

The man who was slapped by Zhao Bo had his internal organs ruptured. He spat out a mouthful of blood, which was filled with shredded pieces of viscera.

The man could no longer be saved.

Everyone else saw how cruel and ruthless Zhao Bo was, and began to charge toward the demonic sect.

"Kill them!"

The two sides crashed together like two waves of water, and they fought. After a while, the rich smell of blood wafted out.

Many people were injured and lost their lives because of this fight. Some were from the renowned righteous sects, while some belonged to the Sacred Demonic Cult.

Ning Shu watched this slaughter as it happened. The deaths of these people were all because of certain people's ambitions.

From the corner of Ning Shu's eyes, she saw Hui Ji sitting cross-legged on the ground, reciting Buddhist scriptures silently.

His whole body was quiet and peaceful, and amid the sound of killing, he looked incomparably noble.

A lot of people passed in front of him, and someone even fell in front of him. His blood splattered on Hui Ji’s body.

Chp 2290: Really Wanted to Poke This Guy With a Sword

Hui Ji’s expression remained peaceful and compassionate throughout the whole affair.

Ning Shu: →_→

She didn’t know why, but she really wanted to poke this guy with a sword.

Zhao Bo roared and rushed towards Ning Shu and Ye Hua, his expression a little weird and deranged.

"You monsters of the demonic sect should all die!" Zhao Bo's hands burst out with great energy as he was rushing toward Ning Shu and Ye Hua.

Ning Shu avoided the attack and attacked Zhao Bo together with Ye Hua. Zhao Bo had been injured previously. Now that he was attacked by two people, it strained him, even if only for a moment.

"I’ll show you how powerful I am." Zhao Bo roared, his clothes torn apart and scattered.

Zhao Bo's eyes were scarlet red. He quickly stretched out a palm and struck Ye Hua's heart. Ye Hua vomited blood and fell back.

Ning Shu released a dragon-formed energy, and the giant dragon passed through Zhao Bo's body. Zhao Bo spat out a mouthful of blood, but the aura on his body only grew stronger.

His eyes were a little dazed, though.

"He's gone crazy." Ye Hua said while covering his heart.

Ning Shu: ...

Why did he get stronger after going crazy?

Shouldn’t it be like other illnesses, where your strength would quickly leave your body?

The dragon-shaped aura continuously passed through Zhao Bo's body. Zhao Bo vomited blood, but the more he fought, the more courageous he became. He rushed towards Ye Hua.

Zhao Bo really wanted to kill Ye Hua, the leader of the demonic sect.

Ning Shu pulled Ye Hua away. She stretched out her palm to meet Zhao Bo's palm, and the two flew away at the same time.

Blood dripped from the corner of Ning Shu's mouth. Meanwhile, Zhao Bo spat out a mouthful of blood. However, he seemed tireless and showed no signs of his injuries. Instead, he went to kill the other members of the demonic sect.

Zhao Bo was very powerful. Not only was he killing people from the demonic sect, but he was also killing his own allies. He indiscriminately killed anyone who was in front of him.

He didn’t just kill his enemies, but also his own people. What a fool!

"Everyone, retreat!" Ye Hua beat the drum, and the people of the Sacred Demonic Cult immediately returned to the Sacred Demonic Peak.

The righteous sects must be feeling bitter now. Zhao Bo was acting like a mad dog, biting whichever unfortunate soul he could catch.

He killed the person in front of him no matter who it was. His restless essence blood had clouded his mind.

The people from the Sacred Demonic Cult stared blankly at Zhao Bo as he went on a murderous rampage.

"Amitabha." Hui Ji performed a Buddhist mudra to Ning Shu from afar. "Female Benefactor, please help control Alliance Leader Zhao, so that no more people will encounter a horrible end."

Ning Shu looked at Hui Ji and smiled. “Little monk, I don't control people. I only kill them."

"Leader Zhao is very dangerous now. If he escapes, he will cause a lot of damage," Hui Ji said to Ning Shu.

Hui Ji’s voice caught Zhao Bo's attention. Zhao Bo stretched out his hand and attacked him.

Hui Ji dodged Zhao Bo. Ning Shu took out a rope and flew toward Zhao Bo.

Ning Shu pulled the rope with both her hands and tied it around Zhao Bo, then quickly wrapped it around him a few more times.

Zhao Bo moved his body and seemed to want to break free of the rope. Ning Shu shouted to Ye Hua, "Brother, throw me another rope, he..."

Before Ning Shu finished speaking, she heard the sound of the blade piercing through the skin.

Ning Shu turned her head and saw a young man holding a sword piercing Zhao Bo's chest.

Zhao Bo let out a series of thick pants.

The man who murdered him had an undeveloped face. He was likely not yet a fully grown man. His sword stabbed into Zhao Bo's heart, and his expression betrayed both his panic and hatred.

"He's a devil! He killed my father..." The man fell to the ground, holding his head in his hands.
