"!!!" The people around Li Guang couldn't help but widen their eyes, never expecting this kind of scene in this exhibition.
Li Guang, who was stabbed in the chest, ended up falling to the ground. He spat a mouthful of blood as the young man in front of him caught his body.
"Are you alright? Help! Help!" The young man raised his voice, alarming everyone around.
Even the two cultivators rushed toward Li Guang, trying to check his condition. At the same time, the young man pointed his finger at the robe-covered person, saying, "That's the culprit."
That action split the two cultivators into two. On the one hand, they wanted to help Li Guang. On the other hand, they couldn't really let Li Xue escape.
"We have to chase after her. We can't let her escape."
"But Senior Brother Li Guang..."
"You take care of Senior Brother Li, I will chase her and inform you about her cultivation and other things."
Ultimately, the two of them split up.
The one who checked Li Guang immediately panicked. He saw the dagger had pierced his heart. "Senior Brother Li Guang."
"I am fine. I have the Second Grade Recovery Pill in my Space Ring. Help me pull the dagger once I begin recovering," said Li Guang while using the last bit of his strength to sit in a lotus pose while taking out a blue-colored pill.
The young man was surprised. He never thought that Li Guang could still survive after being stabbed in the heart. However, the fact that he was the only one who did it showed that it wasn't a normal means. The pill should have been expensive.
Yet, just a second before he began meditating, he realized something and said weakly while looking at the exit. "Don't chase her. She—"
...
While the entire scene baffled everyone, the robe-covered person rushed to the exit, trying to get away.
One cultivator was right before her. Even if he couldn't fight her, he should be able to measure her strength and understand the situation as long as he could catch another glimpse of her.
Sadly, things didn't go as he expected. As soon as he reached the exit, he turned his head to the left where she was going, but ended up finding no one.
"She is not there?" He panicked while scanning the entire area, trying to find someone with a robe. "Wait, wait. I can't lose her. Just a glimpse is enough..."
Without thinking, he rushed forth, trying to chase her. At the same time, he maintained a portion of his vision to observe the rooftop. Amidst the panic, the guy forgot that the roof was the perfect place to observe and that would cost his life.
When charged toward the numerous people, he bumped into a few, causing him to shove them over.
The moment he bumped into the eighth person, he pushed him to the side, actually revealing another person behind him. This person didn't wear any robe, but she was exactly the person he was familiar with.
"!!!" It was at this moment that the guy realized he had been tricked. If he went to the roof, he would be able to escape from these people. As a result, even if Li Xue wanted to launch a sneak attack, there was nothing that could cover her movement.
On the other hand, because he rushed into the bustling street, he had placed himself in a predicament.
Li Xue had been hiding her sword between her arm and body so that normal people wouldn't make a scene. Now that her target was right before her, Li Xue swung it as quickly as possible.
"!!!" The guy hurriedly threw his body to the side, desperately avoiding the blade.
However, it was too late. The blade went through his body, and the wound ran from his right waist up to the upper abdomen. With that kind of injury, it was doubtful he could survive.
When he fell to the ground, all his strength disappeared. Sadly for him, Li Xue didn't show any mercy.
The last thing he saw was Li Xue's cold and ruthless face as she swung that blade and severed his head.
"Aaaaaaahhhh!"
"Kyaaaa!"
The people who witnessed such a cruel murder couldn't help but scream loudly. The others immediately turned around, trying to find out what was happening.
As soon as they found out the problem, they couldn't help but gasp, never expecting that someone would be murdered among them.
However, Li Xue skillfully disappeared into the crowd and headed back to the exhibition hall.
"We can't let him chase after Li Xue. It's dangerous. Li Xue is..." Li Guang tried to convince his partner that this was what Li Xue wanted the whole time.
Li Xue must have wanted to kill him with the first strike, but because his body reacted a bit faster than a 7-Star Expert, he failed to kill him. More importantly, having a second-grade recovery pill should be Li Xue's miscalculation.
If the two cultivators had just stood there to protect him instead of chasing Li Xue, he should be able to recover and confirm Li Xue's existence in this city.
However, the moment they were separated, Li Xue's plan was completed.
The cultivator who stood behind was wondering what he was trying to say. At the same time, the young man beside him had disappeared into the crowd as other people could only watch the entire scene. It was clear that he was a cultivator and they didn't want to mess with one, lest they were attacked by the very person they tried to help.
But that was the exact reason why Li Xue could move freely.
The moment she entered the crowd, she hid her sword again and made a subtle movement, trying to push herself further and further.
Eventually, she reached Li Guang and stood behind the other cultivator.
Li Guang's face became extremely pale. There was nothing that could describe his current emotion other than fear.
The cultivator was confused about his change of expression, but he soon noticed the fluctuation of Spiritual Qi that occurred behind him. He hurriedly pulled out his sword and turned around, but Li Xue brutally cut his arm.
"Aaaaahhhh!"
As the sword dropped to the ground, Li Xue severed his head. It meant only Li Guang was still alive.
Li Xue looked at Li Guang without any emotion as she said, "You shouldn't have followed him. Or you would be still alive right now."
"Guerilla Tactic…" Li Guang gritted his teeth. "If you kill me, the Li Family will chase you down, Li Xue."
"I couldn't care less. If they want to come, then come. But even I doubt that the Li Family will avenge you if I become an Inner Disciple." Li Xue snorted while raising her sword.
"You—"
Li Guang couldn't finish his last word as Li Xue didn't hesitate to swing her blade swiftly, splitting his upper body.
"Kyaaaa!"
"Aaaahhh!"
"Murder!"
"Help!"
The people panicked as they couldn't help but see the entire situation clearly. They thought they would be the next target.
This chaos was another perfect cover for Li Xue to get away. Without missing a beat, Li Xue disappeared into the crowd and was never seen again for the rest of the day. And these three corpses would end up becoming a huge problem for the government, specifically the East District.
