21 Uproot Evil

"A medicine slave?"

Ling Xiao squinted his eyes. A medicine slave was a slave for testing medicines. Not only did a medicine slave have no status, but they would always end up in a miserable state in which they could neither live nor die. Hence, Ling Xiao was furious when he heard that the captures from Longevity Sect were made medicine slaves in Indulgence Sect.

He smirked and said, "So you're all disciples from Indulgence Sect. If that's the case, you should die!"

Boom!

After Ling Xiao said that, he attacked like a sudden clap of thunder. As he struck the Indulgence Sect disciples with his Lesser Titanium Punch, booming energy appeared around him.

This attack alone filled the sky with such deafening sound, it was as if the void was filled with thunder too.

"Fella, you're courting death!"

The faces of the Indulgence Sect disciples changed immediately as they did not expect Ling Xiao, who was only in Pulse Unsealing Boundary, to attack them. One of the disciples in the third tier True Qi Boundary instantly swung his palm at Ling Xiao.

At that moment, the other disciples too sneered at Ling Xiao and looked at him as if he was a dead man.

Kacha!

When Ling Xiao's fist and that disciple's palm met, Ling Xiao stood firm like a mountain but the Indulgence Sect disciple shrieked painfully — his arm was broken.

Of course, how could Ling Xiao, who had gained apperception of a punch's purposeful conception be stopped by a disciple in third tier True Qi Boundary?

The Indulgence Sect disciple was severely injured in just one move.

"How dare you!"

Surprised and mad, Ma Jun pulled his sword out and pounced on Ling Xiao.

Auspicious Sword Technique, an Onyx level inferior martial art!

Ma Jun had cultivated the sword technique to an Intermediate stage, thus countless sword lights were seen accompanying the fearsome sword energy, resulting in a rather impressive power.

Nevertheless, Ling Xiao could tell that the sword technique had five to six flaws.

Swoosh!

By shifting steps, he dodged Ma Jun's attack effortlessly as if it was as easy as a fairy walking over ripples. He then casually hit his palm on Ma Jun's sword, which subsequently caused Ma Jun's arm to turn numb due to the strong vibration through the sword. The long sword almost fell to the ground.

Ma Jun wanted to vomit blood.

Ling Xiao was only in ninth tier Pulse Unsealing Boundary — a whole boundary below Ma Jun — yet Ma Jun felt aggrieved at the outcome of their fight.

"Fella, go to hell!"

Without further ado, Ma Jun employed another sword technique. Swish, swish, swish. The sword lights from his sword fell upon Ling Xiao like a raging storm.

It was the Gale Sword Technique, an Onyx level moderate martial art. On top of Ma Jun's rich True Qi, an area of a few square-feet around them was shrouded and there was no longer space for the usage of Longevity Footwork.

"Let's see how you're going to dodge me now!" the unsparing Mu Jun commented.

"The cultivation of Indulgence Sect disciples is fair, but this martial art path is hopeless and stupid!"

Ling Xiao shook his head. Ma Jun's Gale Sword Technique was only at the beginning of the Primary stage, which was more flawed than the Auspicious Sword Technique.

Bam!

As soon as Ling Xiao identified one of the loopholes, he pushed Ma Jun's sword out of his hand before he kicked his abdomen. Consequently, Ma Jun flew over ten feet away and landed hard on the ground.

Pfft!

Man Jun suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He then roared at Ling Xiao angrily, "All of you, attack him together, and kill him!"

The remaining Indulgence Sect disciples yelled as well before they charged at Ling Xiao.

They did not dare to let their guards down as they could tell that Ling Xiao was not one to be messed with, so they exerted all their force.

Indulgence Sect's martial arts leaned toward a more graceful and delicate style, but the ones cultivated by these disciples were far from perfect and had many weak points. As such, Ling Xiao took all of them out without much effort.

Boom!

Right then, Ma Jun sprinkled some white powder at Ling Xiao. However, the powder carried an odd fragrance that could make one dizzy.

"Poison?!"

Upon noticing the abnormality, Ling Xiao instantly dodged the powder by using Longevity Footwork while he slapped Ma Jun's face at the same time. Half of Ma Jun's face now swelled, and a mix of blood and saliva could be seen splattering out from his mouth.

"You're courting death!"

Enraged, Ling Xiao stormed toward Ma Jun.

"Don't…. Don't come near me! My father's Elder Qi from Indulgence Sect. If you kill me, he won't let this pass!"

Ma Jun trembled with fear upon seeing Ling Xiao's eyes that were filled with strong killing intent. With a threatening appearance but a faint heart, he shouted fearfully.

"So what if your father's Elder Qi from Indulgence Sect? Soon, I'll bury everyone from Indulgence Sect with you!"

Following that cold speech, Ling Xiao crushed Ma Jun's neck.

Not resigned to the outcome, Ma Jun's eyes were filled with resentment and regret. Eventually, he no longer had an expression on his face as he fell to the ground and died.

"You… You killed Young Master Ma Jun?"

"Seventh Elder won't let you off!"

"Quick, let's go back to report this to Seventh Elder!"

The remaining Indulgence Sect disciples were in disbelief, it was as if their souls had left their body. With that, they quickly scrambled away.

"All of you, go to hell with him!"

Ling Xiao knew that he must uproot evil, so he was not going to let the other disciples escape. In a flash, several shrieks were heard as he killed the remaining Indulgence Sect disciples.

By searching through Ma Jun and the Indulgence Sect disciples' bodies, he had found thousands of moderate Spiritual Stones, as well as a few ordinary martial art manuals, all of which he simply ignored.

The only thing that caught his eyes was a herb cauldron Ma Jun carried with him. Although it could not be considered as a spirit tool, it was a fine herb cauldron. Besides, he had also found some spiritual herbs.

"I couldn't tell that this trash was an alchemist, but he was only an inferior alchemist. These spiritual herbs are great though. I've finally gathered all the spiritual herbs for Dark Dam Pill!"

Ling Xiao was satisfied with the surprise.

Among the herbs required for the Dark Dam Pill, the gall of a Dark Dam Red Snake was the hardest to get, while the other spiritual herbs could be easily obtained. Nevertheless, it was time-consuming to gather them. Ling Xiao's urgent need was resolved since he had acquired a herb cauldron and some spiritual herbs from Ma Jun.

Gua…

All of a sudden, as if it had sensed Ling Xiao's killing intent, the Thousand-Year Scarlet Toad looked like it wanted to please him. So, it started to behave obediently, as if it wanted to save itself from being killed.

"You'll live well if you obey me, but I'll slaughter you and make you into a stew if you disobey me!"

Ling Xiao stared at the Thousand-Year Scarlet Toad. He was surprised that it had a spirit and intelligence.

The Thousand-Year Scarlet Toad immediately nodded and smiled at him widely.

Later, Ling Xiao left that place with the tied-up Thousand-Year Scarlet Toad.

"The Black Heavy Water and the Diversified Golden Lotus Fire are ready, it'll be a perfect chance to produce a Sky Devouring Spiritual Seed. Besides, the boundless energy might allow me to open up three hundred and sixty meridians all at once. I'll be able to arrive at Pulse Unsealing Boundary's Pinnacle state, with enough energy left to advance to True Qi Boundary!"

With high expectations, Ling Xiao walked out of the forest to look for a secluded place to cultivate in isolation.
