A Cunning Pervert in the Cultivation World-Chapter 278: Killing Intent (2)

Even from this distance, Shen Jia could see the cold and emotionless killing intent radiating from Jian Ruyi eyes as she slowly began to draw her sword.

The sword slid free with a soft, chilling light .

The sound alone seemed to make the air grow heavier.

The demonic disciples, who had been laughing while circling the two battered righteous cultivators like wolves hunting a prey looked a bit surprised at Jian Ruyi’s sudden appearance.

After realizing she was a woman, they became even more excited.

But....

One of them, a tall man with a scar carved across his cheek, who clearly seem to be the group leader due to his powerful cultivation.

He currently frowning as he watched Jian Ruyi approach slowly with her unsheathed sword.

Unlike the others, he was much more cautious.

And a bad feeling crept into his heart as he instinctively took a few steps back.

"Haha, how lucky ! To finally find another female disciple after so long !"

One of them grew excited and began approaching Jian Ruyi.

He was confident that with their numbers, it would be easy to subdue these righteous sect disciples.

But then—

Zing!

A streak of silver flashed.

For a brief heartbeat, nothing happened.

Then—

Spurt!

His body split cleanly from shoulder to waist as blood sprayed into the air.

His smile remained frozen even as he split in half.

The laughter stopped.

Jian Ruyi stood where he had been, her sword fully unsheathed now, the tip angled slightly downward as crimson droplets slid along the steel and fell soundlessly into the dirt.

She turned her cold gaze toward the remaining demonic disciples.

Under her eyes... eyes that looked at them as if they were nothing more than trash, they flinched.

They hadn’t even seen what happened, and one of them had already been killed instantly.

"...Who the hell are you?!" one of the demonic disciples shouted as all of them became alert.

But Jian Ruyi didn’t reply.

... She vanished.

In the next instant, she reappeared at the center of their group.

The scar-faced leader’s pupils shrank.

"Scatter-"

He didn’t even finish his word and-

Zing!

Another silver arc carved through the air.

And another head spun upward, eyes wide, mouth still half-open with his face frozen in confusion.

The body remained standing for a breath before collapsing with a heavy thud.

Then panic finally exploded.

"She’s fast!"

"Watch her blade!"

They weren’t just a duck waiting to be slaughtered as two of demonic disciple lunged at once from opposite sides, sabers humming with red qi at Jian Ruyi.

Their coordination wasn’t poor as it seems like they had clearly hunted together before.

But to Jian Ruyi, it felt like children waving sticks at her.

She merely shifted her body in a graceful motion, dodging with a single clean step before her sword swept upward in a diagonal arc.

Steel met steel for the briefest moment before the sound of tearing flesh echoed out.

Slash!

"AHH!!"

The first attacker’s arm separated at the elbow, with his blood spraying across his companion’s face as he let out a painful scream.

The second attacker, momentarily blinded by his companion’s blood, missed his strike.

And Jian Ruyi casually struck his chest with her small palm.

Despite looking like a simple strike—

BAM!

Spurt!

His ribs caved inward, and he flew backward like a cannonball, crashing into a tree trunk hard enough to split it in half.

...and he didn’t rise again.

At this sudden turn of events, silence fell as they stared at the slender woman standing before them, who currently have their fellow disciple’s blood smeared across her face.

Jian Ruyi didn’t even bother clean it or wiping it away.

She held her sword firmly and rushed toward the demonic disciples again.

Seeing this, the scar-faced leader finally recognized the uniform she wore.

"Damn it! It’s a Heavenly Sword Sect disciple!"

At his shout, the others hearts skipped a beat.

They all knew how fierce and cold the Heavenly Sword Sect was.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to call them demonic cultivator hunters as they killed any demonic cultivator on sight without question.

Not to mention, each one of them was strong.

But this one seemed far stronger than the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples they had encountered before.

Soon, they understood why as the scar-faced leader shouted in disbelief.

"She’s actually at the Peak of the 9th Realm of Qi Refinement?!"

Before they could even process his words, Jian Ruyi disappeared again like a ghost as multiple silver flashes erupted among them.

Zing!

Zing!

Zing!

Suddenly, three more heads were severed.

Jian Ruyi didn’t stop.

She continued cutting down the demonic disciples like an executioner.

"Ahhh!"

"Where is—"

"M-Monster!!"

Meanwhile, above...

Li Feng and Shen Jia watched in stunned silence from above as the massacre unfolded below.

Jian Ruyi small face soaked with blood as her body moving like a relentless killing machine made the scene even more chilling.

Li Feng could still follow Jian Ruyi’s silhouette with his eyes and couldn’t help but gulp.

It seemed he had underestimated his little wife fierceness.

This was the first time he had seen her like this.

When she killed demonic beasts before, it hadn’t been as intense or as chilling as now... where blood splashed and limbs flew through the air.

He almost couldn’t believe this was the same woman who had been obediently spreading her legs for a sneaky quickie not long ago.

Even so, he wasn’t worried about her safety.

He knew she was more than capable of dealing with those demonic cultivators.

And if anything unexpected happened, he was confident he could handle it.

After all, he knew he could kill all of those demonic disciples in a single second if necessary but he chose to let Jian Ruyi stretch her body a bit.

Her hands must have been itching to kill demonic cultivators.

Meanwhile, Shen Jia wasn’t nearly as calm as Li Feng.

She had always heard of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s fierce reputation, but seeing it firsthand made her realize she had still underestimated them.

"Hm?"

She suddenly felt a hand wrap around her delicate waist and turned to look at Li Feng, who now wore a serious expression.

Just as she was about to ask why he had suddenly touched her, his next words distracted her.

"Oh? The one who seems to be the strongest is running away."
