Chapter 1503: Chapter 703: Feint to the East, Strike to the West (3)

Tie Dan stroked his muddy chin and thought for a moment,

"Alright, alright, if it’s destroyed, it’s destroyed. We can rebuild, no need to be so shocked. But even in this state, I can still be recognized. It seems the authority over there can be applied here too... Never mind, these are trivial matters. Did you cleanly pass this tribulation?"

"Yes, yes! I killed them all!"

The senior came to check the task, and Xun Lingrui quickly brought out the chopped and mashed remains for inspection, afraid that there might be any chance of resurrection, almost turning them into paste. Sure enough, in his foolishness, he hadn’t realized they almost escaped just now...

"Uh, why did you kill him too?"

Tolerating the Qilin was one thing, but even Wei Lingfeng...

"This person was struck by the Blood God’s son’s great method! There’s a one in ten thousand chance of Body Seizing, so all must be killed! Dare not harbor any chance!"

Xun Lingrui spoke as he unfolded the half-skinned flesh to show Tie Dan, waiting for praise,

"Additionally, I’ve crafted a mask using the Skin Painting Technique, and shortly I’ll use this face to dodge calamity and infiltrate the Kunlun Xuanmen!"

Well, with this many dead, what else could Tie Dan say, so he turned to the Green Sun Sword Dao,

"Anyway, this little lass is undergoing a murderous tribulation, I’ll shield her from this disaster, must restore some Qi Power here, and reforging the Dao Body to come in handy. While forcefully following, I’d be a burden to your pace, probably delaying the next tribulation.

Since your karmic ties are so heavy now, I can even calculate your whereabouts. So you go ahead first, from now on take care of her on my behalf for a few days. Anyway, these are just watered down pushover sectors, I’m too lazy to fight them.

Seven, hmm, five days later I’ll come lead you to fight the final challenge."

Qingyang flashed.

Xun Lingrui’s expression darkened, momentarily disheartened,

"Uh, senior, this Sword Monarch said there’s no problem protecting, but earlier it was provoked by trash, couldn’t hold back momentarily and employed me as a temporary solution, lending me a sword’s power.

But my cultivation is insufficient, realm not reached, fated but without life, having Refining but powerless, fundamentally unworthy of being its owner, fully unable to exert its Sword Intent..."

Is that even a question, naturally unworthy, the Nine Swords of Lord Yuan, right, the sect’s treasured artifact, right, is it not something anyone can wield casually? Otherwise, it would have been pulled out earlier, right, why need to delay for so long and even need a king’s sacrifice to hang, risking a crash?

Tie Dan comforted too,

"Don’t be disheartened, though this lass is a waste, I calculated you’re destined with my disciple, she’s meant to take you to the true owner this time, bear it a while longer."

Thus Qingyang lightly rang out in agreement.

Xun Lingrui, "..."

Tie Dan handed the item to Xun Lingrui,

"Swallow it."

"Uh..."

Xun Lingrui looked at the green greasy mud in the other’s hand, and inside was a pitch-black stone, resembling a Go piece, momentarily feeling nauseous. But after all this journey, knowing benefits come from this senior, obediently swallowed the black piece... well, the taste wasn’t bad, kind of like glutinous rice dumplings...

"I had an agreement with someone, with this piece you are counted in the game we set up, even if fallen in tribulation, the heavens won’t claim you, there’s still a chance of rebirth. If you manage to kill a few more, you could also share it with your family and Daoist companions, ensuring their safety for a lifetime."

Tie Dan pointed around at the chaotic scene,

"This time, I led you through, lowered the difficulty a bit, but with your Comprehension, surely you know how to pass the upcoming murderous tribulation, right?"

Xun Lingrui bowed and fell to his knees,

"Thanks to senior for pointing out the path, life-saving grace remembered in heart, I’ll never dare forget."

Tie Dan shook his head,

"I don’t want your perpetual gratitude, I made you my pawn to die on my behalf now, can you do it?"

Xun Lingrui without hesitation,

"Please command, senior! Knife Mountain and Fire Sea! No fear of death!"

Seeing her so sensible, clearly well trained, Tie Dan didn’t beat around the bush,

"Good, from now on kill your way to Kunlun, take this sword and the piece within your belly, to my disciple.

Protect him leaving the mountains, assist him escaping disaster, guard him crossing the tribulation, even if sacrificing your life, ensure his growth, and end this chaotic world."

"Follow the Law’s command!"

This arrangement shouldn’t be problematic, after all, Tie Dan is rather busy, simultaneously tackling tasks on both sides, really wishing to pull out two Three Corpses for help.

However, over on Xun Lingrui’s side, it should be manageable for now, her biggest downside was lack of experience, the toughest opening kill already guided hands-on, later with Qingyang Sword Master guarding, what issue could there be?
