All those travellers who had been forced to move farther away due to to fight were all looking at each other confused as they did not know how to respond to what they just saw.
The Bloody Butcher is so damn strong! Even an Early Condensing Reality Realm warrior couldn't take a single attack from him, and disappeared completely. Luckily, we were careful earlier and had moved farther away from them, otherwise we would also be dead.
Just as the Bloody Butcher was about to search Teng Yunlong’s body, a tiny dot of sword light suddenly appeared in front of him, and all he could see was Ye Chen, in his white robes flash past him.
Shoo!
A bloody arrow passed through the Bloody Butcher’s neck, and then continued for another three meters before it stopped.
“You didn’t die!” Each word the Bloody Butcher was forced out, shooting out more blood from the hole in his neck.
Standing five steps behind the Bloody Butcher, Ye Chen put his sword back into its scabbard, as he said lightly: “I was going to talk to you for a little longer, too bad.”
A look of realization at the irony of his situation flashed past the Bloody Butcher’s eyes. His head slowly tilted and fell off his neck, then his body collapsed as well, and his blood washed the floor.
Turning around, Ye Chen slightly shook his head.
If he fought fairly, it would take him at least three attacks to kill the Bloody Butcher, as his opponent’s cultivation was even above Cui Shiming, and he had a lot of experience that even two of Cui Shiming could not compare to. However, the Bloody Butcher had underestimated him in the beginning, otherwise even if Ye Chen managed to stab him, it would have been blocked by his defensive Zhen Qi.
Ye Chen had forgotten that after training the Crane Shadow Steps, his speed had already reached an inhuman level. But now, he felt that the Bloody Butcher would failed to even accumulate Zhen Qi in time to block him even if it was a fair fight.
The Bloody Butcher had been cautious his whole life, but in the end he lost his life due to his carelessness. Of course, no matter how careful he was, if Ye Chen decided to kill him, his life would not be his to keep. This was the absolute advantage of being strong.
All those travellers who hadn’t remained stood there shocked with their mouths wide open.
All they saw was Ye Chen pull out his sword, and then in the next second the Bloody Butcher’s head was falling off. They had no idea what happened in between.
Sword out, head gone!
How simple was that? What kind of skill was that?
It was just like those assassins, once they attacked, their targets would be dead without fail.
“This guy is very scary!” one of them said quietly.
The other guy said: “He reminded me of the Young Master North Snow, they are both very young and deadly.”
“However, if he wants to reach the Young Master North Snow’s level, he will have to surpass someone else first.”
“Who is that?”
“Who else? The third ranked disciple of the North Snow Martial Academy, Lin Qi. Although his cultivation level is nothing special, he has always managed to do things normal people could not. Like beating Wu Wanshan in just ten sword attacks, or splitting a waterfall with one move, or killing a Burning Bird with just his oppressive aura. The leader of the North Snow Martial Academy even said that he had the best comprehension ability for saber intent among all the disciples, not even the Young Master North Snow had been given that kind of compliment before.”
“Saber intent! Are you joking? Even a saber artist who had reached the Clasping Yuan Realm might not be able to sense saber intent. It is extremely rare for anyone to be able to sense it. In the whole Windy Nation, only the leader of the North Snow Martial Academy is known to be capable of sensing it.”
“What cultivation are you, and what cultivation is the leader of the North Snow Martial Academy? Could he be wrong? Also, he only said ‘most likely’, not ‘certainly’.”
“That is true. But this guy’s cultivation level is way too low when compared to Lin Qi. If he wants to compete with Lin Qi, then he still has a long way to go.”
The travellers kept discussing and expressing their opinions. Ye Chen did not hear all those gossiping as all his attention was still on the Bloody Butcher.
As a wanted man for a bounty mission, he must have a lot of money. At least thousands of silver, perhaps even ten thousands of silvers, which was also an extra reward that those disciples were after. If he was lucky, he might become a millionaire overnight.
