Kill Me More Times, I’ll Become Invincible

Nightfall, stars twinkling all around.

It was already night time, but a small town in the mountains was quiet – no smoke from chimneys, no lights, and no voices.

Only the gentle sound of insects could be heard in the darkness.

A figure riding on a big paper crane descended from the sky, landing in this silent village.

The person wore a black and grey mask with a moon symbol, draped in a long robe, hiding their figure.

"Has the Moon Xuan Envoy arrived?" a voice suddenly echoed in the night.

Following the voice, the Moon Xuan Envoy saw Wu Qiankun standing at the doorway of a wooden house, holding two dried corpses.

Wu Qiankun still had bloodstains on him, but there were no visible wounds on his body.

"Moon Xuan Envoy looked around and saw the whole town was silent in the darkness, with no one around."

"Not only that, even the pets and cattle in the town had died, and there were no sounds of insects chirping in the town."

"In this forest, the town seemed like an empty place without any signs of life, with insect chirping and bird calls around, but the town itself was completely silent."

Wu Qiankun said calmly:

"The local people here are all devoted followers of Immortal Gate."

"Worshiping is the foundation of Immortal Gate. By killing these civilians, they are actually undermining Immortal Gate’s foundation."

Moon Xuan Envoy remained silent.

The two of them gazed at each other quietly in the dark night.

Suddenly, Wu Qiankun smiled and said:

"The words I said earlier may have some truth, but they were just excuses I made afterwards."

"The real reason I did this was to make myself stronger!"

Wu Qiankun said indifferently:

"Using any means necessary is not a disgrace; being flexible and adaptable is what a husband should do."

"Laws, moral rules, are only tools to control the weak. If one is already indulging, why stick to those laws and morals?"

Wu Qiankun has been fighting with several top martial artists from Jiu Province lately.

He was first defeated by Qiao Shuanggui, then by Qiao Jin, and later had a tough battle with Qing Li’s clone.

He was just defeated by Qing Li herself.

Let’s not mention the Qiao family member for now, let’s talk about Demon Spear Qin Li first.

Before the Qiao family member rose to fame, Little Martial Saint Wu Qiankun was the original number one on the Spiritual Refining List, along with the other three top martial artists of the time. They were all famous figures.

The top of the Power List was Demon Spear Qin Li, the top of the Strength List was Xue Changhe, the head of the Xue family, the top of the Skill List was Earth Sword Immortal, and the top of the Spiritual Refining List was Wu Qiankun.

Being famous doesn’t mean having equal strength.

After all, Southern Murong was also famous with Northern Qiaofeng. Who is stronger and who is weaker can only be known after a fight.

Wu Qiankun initially thought that both sides’ strength was only slightly different. Even if there was a difference, he believed he would have the last laugh.

After several consecutive defeats, he also pondered deeply on the reasons behind them.

For top warriors, having exceptional aptitude, good comprehension, outstanding character, and relentless effort… these are just the basics.

What is the specific difference between Qing Li and him?

In Wu Qiankun’s view, the biggest difference was Qing Li’s divine bird bloodline.

He wanted to surpass Qing Li and Qiao family member by working hard and training his body, but it was not enough.

"If he wanted to achieve great things, he needed to have advantages surpassing his peers that belonged only to him," Wu Qiankun said casually.

"In short: do what capable people can’t do and what others won’t do."

Wu Qiankun’s gaze fell on the corpses scattered in the silent town:

"In a world of extremes, one must do extraordinary things."

This was Wu Qiankun’s core competitive edge.

Having more quantities can make up for the lack of quality.

As long as he could still control his spiritual refining cultivation, the Taotie Swallowing Heaven Skill could devour anything.

Moon Xuan Envoy fell silent once again.

"These are just little things. I called you here for an important reason," said Wu Qiankun.

"In remote villages like Southwest Province, they are not common and hard to find."

"As the Moon Xuan Envoy of Southwest Province, you naturally know the local situation. Please show me the way."

"Whether human, demon, or inhuman, all are welcome. I have no taboos and treat everyone equally."

Wu Qiankun’s gaze fell on the Moon Xuan Envoy.

With night falling, Wu Qiankun’s face was shrouded in shadows, making his expression unclear.

Perhaps due to a sudden cool breeze, a fine layer of goosebumps appeared on Moon Xuan Envoy.

"I’ll go check on it right away."

Moon Xuan Envoy lowered his head, his face under the mask suddenly stiffening.

Wu Qiankun was the second most important person in the Wuji Association. During Martial Saint’s feigned death, he temporarily took over the leadership of the Wuji Association on behalf of Martial Saint.

As a subordinate, Moon Xuan Envoy naturally could not voice any objections.

Wu Qiankun nodded, then turned and left. It seemed like he wanted to search the town to see if there were any hidden enemies.

Moon Xuan Envoy also turned and left, a flash of light in his hand, revealing an additional Message Jade Talisman.

The Moon Xuan Envoy of Southwest Province is actually the disciple of Moon Xuan Envoy Li Gongde from Zhong Province; they are of the same lineage.

Moon Xuan Envoy is in charge of intelligence affairs in a province, using mystical methods for communication.

After all, the Wuji Association had only risen to power in recent decades. While martial arts continued to advance, many in the martial world still relied on the old method of using carrier pigeons for delivering secret messages.

The Wuji Association was slightly different, with a few scattered immortal cultivators like Li Gongde who had joined Martial Saint.

Before long, the Message Jade Talisman flashed, revealing Li Gongde’s response on it.

"This goes against the natural order and causes harm to one’s virtue. Since the emergence of the Taotie Swallowing Heaven Skill, the actions of Wu Qiankun and others have become increasingly dangerous. I will find a way to inform the Martial Saint," replied Li Gongde.

"However, Wu Qiankun is after all the adopted son of the Martial Saint. I cannot guess what the Martial Saint is thinking or how he will handle this situation," said Li Gongde.

"Do not be overly confident in facing this matter, prioritize your own safety first…"

While reading this, Moon Xuan Envoy suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He turned around abruptly, only to see Wu Qiankun, who had disappeared and reappeared without him noticing, staring at his back. His gaze inadvertently swept over the Message Jade Talisman in Moon Xuan Envoy’s hand.

"Aren’t you going to investigate?" Wu Qiankun asked.

"I will go now, please wait for me, sir," Moon Xuan Envoy hurriedly left.

……………………

As the sun set in the west, the sky was tinged with a touch of blood, the red clouds resembling bloodstains.

The Sky Piercing River continued to surge relentlessly, with the sound of waves crashing like thunder.

In the sound of rushing water, a huge army of over ten thousand people has set up camp outside the city.

The whole Linhe City has been surrounded by the Feather King Army. Even though they haven’t attacked the city yet, the tense atmosphere is thick like a red sunset.

When Feather King Qin Li returned from the mountains to the military camp, he discovered that the Feather King Army had already arrived at the city gates, on the brink of war.

"Feather King, the Feather King has returned!"

"It seems that today we can begin the attack on the city!"

Many officers were eagerly anticipating the upcoming battle.

Linhe City is the largest city in the Southwest Province, located by the Sky Piercing River. Capturing this city holds great significance. They had long been eager to try, especially after the Feather King’s previous order to plunder the city that had been breached, igniting a fire within their hearts.

"Has Jade Carp not returned yet?" Qing Li scanned the area, not seeing Jade Carp’s figure, and fell silent for a moment.

The situation of war was no longer something she could control alone.

Inside the Immortal Gate of Yunxiao Sect, there are powerful Nascent Soul Elders and Soul Changing Taoist Lords. Although Qing Li is incredibly strong and unbeatable in the mortal world, she is not arrogant.

Even if she dared to challenge the Immortal Gate, it was like trying to stop a rolling cart with her bare hands, a futile sacrifice.

Whether it’s the Spear Saint, her as the Feather King, or even the descendants of the Jingwei clan from the ancient mountains, they all pale in comparison to the Immortal Gate, like a vast difference.

Without the Feather King, the Southwest Province will experience a new ruler from the east and west…

She then spoke:

"Okay, let’s attack the city."

…………………

The horns sounded mournfully as the massive army began to attack the city as the sun set.

Flags fluttered in the breeze, soldiers’ armor sparkling in the sunset, and the roar of battle echoing across the land.

The Feather King Army had been ready to attack the city. They used ladders and battering rams to climb or break the walls, and they used bows, arrows, and catapults to fight the defenders on the walls.

The sound of bowstrings was loud like rain, and the dense rain of arrows shot into the sky like locusts.

Both sides engaged in fierce fighting on and below the city walls. There was blood and screams everywhere.

Both sides had martial artists with different levels of skills, but ultimately they were just flesh and blood. In such intense battles, they were not much stronger than ordinary soldiers.

However, Linhe City was the strongest city in the Southwest Province. The attack by the Feather King Army didn’t go well, with casualties on both sides. By nightfall, the situation remained deadlock.

"Where is the Feather King… Why isn’t she joining the fight?"

"In a battle like this, ordinary experts may not make much difference, but the fearless Feather King is different. She has almost no equal on the battlefield."

"If the Feather King decides to attack the city, are there any experts in Linhe City who can stop her?"

Despite the officers’ heated discussions, the Feather King remained unmoved.

She didn’t directly take part in the big battle, but remained silent in the rear of the army – this was actually a common practice for generals, but not for the Feather King.

Without the Feather King’s Feather King Army, although it wasn’t completely scattered, it was just a normal rebellion army. They couldn’t easily capture such a big city in a short time. The first attack on the city was unsuccessful, and they didn’t even reach the city walls.

As night fell and the fighting calmed down, the soldiers returned to camp to rest, and the Feather King still didn’t make a move.

The next day, the fighting continued to stalemate, with more and more bodies piling up on the battlefield.

The Feather King remained silent like a statue, neither joining the battle nor giving orders.

It was only when Jade Carp left and returned, bringing with her the person she had been waiting for, that the Feather King showed a noticeable change in expression.

"Are you Long Shankong? Descendant of the Eight-armed Heavenly Dragon?" the Feather King asked, looking at Long Shankong, whose face was turning green and body was poisoned.

"Yes," Long Shankong replied helplessly.

He never expected to still have residual blood poison in his body, which allowed Jade Carp, a powerful demon, to track him down.

Those who can confront the great monster in the monster clan are usually cultivators, not ordinary fighters…. Even though Long Shankong is at the 1st level of Spiritual Refining Period, he felt inadequate. He was defeated by Jade Carp for the second time and was captured by mistake.

Qing Li said, "I heard that Qiao Pian lives in the deep mountains within this Riverside Mansion, where he has his own estate."

"I spare your life, deliver a message for me to Qiao Pian."

"Just say…" Qing Li paused slightly, then slowly continued:

"Linhe City will fall, the mansion city only has strong walls and an army, but no top martial artist, no one can stop Feather King."

"If the city falls, the Feather King Army will plunder for three days."

"I hope Qiao Pian will come out and battle with the Feather King."

"If he doesn’t come, after three days of siege, Feather King will personally attack the city."

Long Shankong looked at Qing Li’s face, silent for a long time, hesitated to speak for a while, before finally speaking:

"Demon Spear Qin Li, I have seen your magical clone in Xishan Village before. You might not know that the real murderer in Xishan Village is someone else."

Before he could finish speaking, Qing Li interrupted him with a cold tone.

"Prisoner, I am not seeking your opinion."

"Deliver my message, or face death."

"I can deliver the message for you." Long Shankong quickly nodded in agreement.

Long Shankong was not foolish. He knew that if he blindly followed the Feather King’s instructions to deliver the message, there would only be one outcome.

By secretly following him, one could trace back to Peach Blossom Villa hidden in the mountains.

In less than a day, Feather King and her army would be able to surround Peach Blossom Villa, capturing Qiao Pian and the elderly residents of the village.

However, he had mastered the Spiritual Sound Conducting Technique, allowing him to communicate through mystical intuition with a Spirit Refining martial artist, avoiding the need to personally go to Peach Blossom Villa.

Since Long Shankong knew that it wouldn’t bring any danger or trouble to Qiao Pian, he naturally agreed without being stubborn or causing trouble.

Before leaving, he took a quick look at Qing Li and said a sentence:

"Demon Spear Qin Li, I hope you still have your senses and haven’t been clouded by hatred."

Qing Li didn’t respond, she just silently watched him leave.

Senses? Of course, she has her senses.

Jade Carp and Long Shankong both thought she didn’t understand Immortal Gate’s scheme to blame her and was seeking revenge on Qiao Pian.

She isn’t that foolish.

Being a bit smarter and looking further ahead, what else can she do?

The people of Xishan Village were once hostages of the Yunxiao Sect and they hold a leverage on Feather King Qin Li.

So, did the Yunxiao Sect lose their minds and decide to get rid of the evidence themselves?

This matter is almost certain, and it seems like the Immortal Gate may have another plan.

Before this, Feather King Qin Li thought he was very important, even resorting to taking a villager hostage. But now, it seems things may not be as he expected.

Qing Li left the large tent and gazed into the distance at the Sky Piercing River, where the water flowed rapidly with a thunderous sound.

"Perhaps, Immortal Gate has already decided that after getting their hands dirty, I am now the Feather King," Qing Li said quietly while watching the rushing river.

"No matter how we fight evil spirits, I can no longer go on living as if nothing happened as ‘Demon Spear Qin Li’."

No matter what.

"Three days later, when he comes out of the mountain, perhaps it will be the end of the Southwest Province turmoil."
