Lin Yu looked down at Liu Lier, who was kneeling in the stream with her dress soaked, and sneered: "You're the first one to compare speed with a flying sword!"
Liu Lier looked up at Lin Yu, putting on a pitiful appearance that made others feel compassion.
She looked extremely frail and begged bitterly: "Dear sir, please spare me. I don't want the Sword Heart Grass anymore. As long as you spare me, I am willing to be your concubine or maid and serve you!" At the end, she looked at Lin Yu with tears in her eyes.
If He Fan and the others were still alive, seeing Liu Lier's current state, they would have been heartbroken!
But Lin Yu had no affection for Liu Lier at all.
The woman before him was as vicious as a snake and scorpion.
Liu Lier had ordered He Fan and the others to join hands and kill him. If they had succeeded, her secret of cultivating Demonic Sect techniques would never have been known.
If they failed, it didn't matter. As long as He Fan and the others were killed by Lin Yu, there would be no proof.
Who could prove whether the dead men had truly loved Liu Lier and been loyal to her, or whether they had been bewitched by a Demonic Sect technique and obeyed her every command?
Whether He Fan and the others had genuinely loved Liu Lier or been controlled to adore her, Liu Lier should never have treated them as tools and let them die.
Demonic Sect techniques were just tools. As long as one maintained integrity, what was wrong with cultivating Demonic Sect martial arts?
Lin Yu didn't care about that. Lord Ding had refined the cultivators he killed, providing him with a steady stream of spiritual energy for cultivation. How was that any better than cultivating Demonic Sect martial arts?
But Lin Yu had a clear conscience. Everyone he killed and every cultivator Lord Ding refined deserved to die—none were innocent!
Liu Lier's actions were not only about cultivating Demonic Sect techniques but also showed her cruel, heartless, and cunning nature, making her no different from a Demonic cultivator!
"You want me to spare you, but when did you ever spare those three?" Lin Yu looked coldly at Liu Lier and said slowly: "They were bewitched by your Demonic Sect secret technique and fell in love with you uncontrollably. No matter the reason, their love was real to them. Yet you took advantage of their wholehearted love, played with them wantonly, and even let them die to cover up your cultivation of Demonic Sect arts. Tell me, should I spare you?"
"I..." Liu Lier was about to defend herself but found she had nothing to say.
"A direct descendant of one of the Five Great Clans and Seven Prominent Families actually cultivates Demonic Sect martial arts. Has the Demonic Sect become so rampant in Penglai Continent?" Lin Yu smiled coldly before Liu Lier could speak: "Speak! From whom did you learn this Demonic Sect martial art?"
He now wanted to advance to the Void Transformation Realm and needed massive spiritual energy. Spiritual energy was ebbing in Shenzhou Continent, making it difficult to support his continued cultivation.
If Penglai Continent was full of Demonic cultivators, it would be a good place to go!
By then, hunting Demonic cultivators and feeding them all to Lord Ding, he believed his strength would advance rapidly.
Not to mention advancing to the Void Transformation Realm, even cultivating to the Spirit Concentration Realm was possible!
"I... I accidentally obtained this secret technique and didn't know it was a Demonic Sect martial art!" Liu Lier's eyes flickered, clearly lying.
"It seems you won't tell the truth unless I use some手段!" Lin Yu shook his head slightly. The Wind Controlling Sword suddenly accelerated, turning into a stream of light that flashed past Liu Lier and returned to Lin Yu's side in an instant, as if it had never left.
Then Liu Lier let out a miserable scream. Her hands, which had been supporting her body, suddenly fell无力, and she fell heavily into the stream with a thud.
The Wind Controlling Sword had cut her tendons, and now both her hands and feet were disabled. Unless she used rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures to reconnect them, she was destined to become a cripple.
"You... you're so vicious?" Liu Lier could no longer maintain her pitiful appearance due to the intense pain.
She looked at Lin Yu with venomous eyes and gritted her teeth: "Kill me! The Demon Lord has planted a curse in my body. If you kill me, the Demon Lord will never let you go, never!" At the end, her expression became frenzied, looking like a madman.
"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!" Lin Yu冷哼ed. Liu Lier was clearly bewitched by the Demon Lord and became a believer. It was impossible to ask her about the origin of the Heavenly Demon Mind Control Art.
Therefore, he planned to give Liu Lier a quick death!
"Li'er, are you the Li'er girl from the Liu family?" "Stop!"
Just as Lin Yu was about to kill Liu Lier, a thunderous roar sounded from outside the canyon.
Then two figures appeared in Lin Yu's sight, rushing toward them at high speed.
The burly middle-aged man in black robes in the front was as tall as a mountain, exuding a powerful aura.
Behind him was a blue-robed youth carrying a long sword. The two were so fast that they dashed into the canyon in the blink of an eye!
Liu Lier, who had been desperate, showed joy on her face when she heard the middle-aged man in black robes roar.
She turned to look at the two who were rushing over and shouted loudly: "Senior, are you from the Qu family of Luoshui? I am Liu Lier from the Liu family of Fanyang. Come and save me! This guy killed Wang Renjie of the Wang family of Longxi and now wants to kill me to silence me!"
"Stay your hand!" Bang!
When the middle-aged man in black robes heard Liu Lier's cry, he first shouted in a deep voice, then his speed surged, landing in front of Lin Yu like a meteor, with his feet deeply embedded in the ground.
The blue-robed youth also followed closely. After his gaze fell on the seemingly weak and pitiful Liu Lier, it was as if he was hooked and couldn't move away.
"From the Qu family?" Lin Yu's heart moved as he looked at the two before him.
The middle-aged man in black robes had a dignified expression and wore a silver ring on his hand, exuding an extremely powerful aura—he was赫然 a cultivator at the first rank of Void Transformation Realm.
The blue-robed youth had a handsome appearance, and his cultivation was no less than Wang Renjie's, also at the eighth rank of Mysterious Phenomenon Realm.
"I am Qu Lingshan, and this is my nephew Qu Yongkang. Could阁下 show mercy to her for the sake of the Qu family of Luoshui?" Qu Lingshan clasped his fists and saluted Lin Yu, pleading.
"Seventeenth Uncle, we Five Great Clans and Seven Prominent Families share the same roots. This guy disabled Miss Li'er and killed someone from the Wang family. Why be polite with him? Just kill him directly!" The blue-robed youth said indignantly, then偷偷 looked at Liu Lier, wanting to impress her.
"Spare her?" Lin Yu chuckled and said in a deep voice: "Do you know what she has done?"
"Don't listen to his slander. I... I didn't do anything!" Liu Lier's face turned slightly pale as she shook her head frantically.
"No matter what she has done, it should be dealt with by the people of the Five Great Clans and Seven Prominent Families, not by an outsider. I advise阁下 to let her go!" Qu Lingshan said in a tough tone.
"The Five Great Clans and Seven Prominent Families have a great reputation, but unfortunately, they can't control me!" Lin Yu shook his head and smiled. The Wind Controlling Sword hovering in front of him suddenly accelerated, turning into a stream of light that rushed to Liu Lier's front and gently tapped her forehead.
