Chapter 157 Dual Blades, Icy Brilliance in the Martial World (26)

Qi Jiayan’s eyebrows jumped as he saw Bai Tang unsheathe the dual blades hanging from her waist and charge forward, a murderous intent in her eyes.

The Blood Devil Cult attackers numbered only a few dozen, leaving Bai Tang somewhat disappointed.

Qi Jiayan’s martial arts skills appeared to be the weakest, consistently evading in a somewhat desperate manner, occasionally sustaining injuries.

Had Yaoyao not recognized the face of the Blood Devil Cult’s leader, she might have been deceived by Qi Jiayan’s excellent acting skills. Preferring to get injured himself—this acting skill was amazing.

Bai Tang deliberately maneuvered to Qi Jiayan’s side, advising, “Young Master Qi, be mindful and stand by my side.”

Qi Jiayan grabbed Bai Tang’s clothes, expressing gratitude, “Thank you, Young Lady Bai.”

Bai Tang lightly chuckled, “Let these Blood Devil Cult scums meet their end!”

With that, another massacre ensued.

In the distance, there seemed to be the Blood Devil Cult’s leader, slightly darker in red robes than the other disciples, wearing a crimson mask.

Yo, even the fake leader came!

Bai Tang, wielding her dual blades with a combination of peculiar footwork and deadly moves, proved to be adept at reaping lives.

A clear space quickly formed around Bai Tang, blades cutting through the air, blood splattering. Some of the blood stained Qi Jiayan’s body, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Yaoyao remarked, “This person’s heart is truly cold. At least they were disciples of his own cult—dying under the blade, yet showing no reaction.”

A hidden weapon was shot towards Qi Jiayan, and Bai Tang acted decisively. With a swift throw of her blade, she simultaneously grabbed Qi Jiayan with a bloodied hand, pulling him aside to evade the projectile. At the same time, she left a circle of bloody fingerprints.

If he finds it disgusting, then let him find it even more disgusting.

“Young Master Qi, don’t get distracted,” Bai Tang advised.

“Hmm,” Qi Jiayan didn’t look too well.

Bai Tang, stepping on the defeated disciples, swung her blade towards the fake leader. Although fake, he still had some skills, narrowly dodging her attacks. He quickly ordered, “Retreat!”

This time, Bai Tang didn’t rush to slaughter them, letting them escape.

If the Blood Devil Cult’s leader died here, it would not be easy for this drama to continue.

With everyone gone, Bai Tang sheathed her blades and inquired, “Young Hero Weng, Young Villa Master Tantai, Young Master Qi, are you all alright?”

Weng Quan replied directly, “Female Hero Bai, something doesn’t feel right. The disciples of the Blood Devil Cult were not as formidable as the last time.”

Bai Tang nodded, “Indeed, much weaker. It seems they are not from the same batch. This time should be more of a probe. The Blood Devil Cult still has quite a few formidable disciples, and I hope their leader sends more.”

Tantai Ziheng retorted, “Not afraid of death.”

Qi Jiayan smiled, “Young Lady Bai, the Blood Devil Cult is a group of ruthless and unscrupulous people. Why would we want more of them?”

A chill passed through Bai Tang’s eyes as she replied, “Naturally, the more, the better. The more we kill, the fewer of their people there will be. It’s not easy to cultivate such a group.”

Were the people of the Blood Devil Cult really that easy to kill?

Tantai Ziheng couldn’t help but sarcastically remark, “Daydreaming.”

Bai Tang, “…”

Weng Quan and Qi Jiayan wanted to say something, but Bai Tang, with a smile, changed the topic.

There was no need to get too entangled with someone biased against you, nor was there a need to prove anything to him. The more you dealt with him, the more complications would arise.

In the evening, a white dove quietly flew by.

At this moment, a rumor spread across the martial world.

Occasionally, treasure maps would surface, divided into four pieces, scattered throughout the martial world. One piece was rumored to be in the possession of the Wind Guardian Hall. If all four pieces were collected, the maps would lead to a vast fortune left behind by the former dynasty, supposedly enough to raise an elite troops of one hundred thousand, sufficient to change the ruling power.

There were rumors that even the Blood Devil Cult’s leader was searching for these treasure maps, aiming to dominate the entire martial world. The reason for issuing a pursuit order against the orphan girl from the Wind Guardian Hall, Bai Tang, was supposedly due to one of these maps being in her possession.

When Bai Tang heard this news, her expression was difficult to describe.

A treasure map on her?
