The Villainous Eldest Senior Brother and His Yandere Junior Sisters

Yes. With the blessings of the Formless Sword Body and the protection of the Beiming True Qi, Lin Xiao had already refined and dissolved part of the poison, regaining consciousness while the two girls were talking!

However, the Second Grade poison pill, "Extreme Illusion Powder," was excessively potent. To fully recover his physical functions, he would need at least another half hour!

Right! What did Yurong say she intended to do earlier?

Kill that fiend?

Damn, is she going to storm Canglan City all by herself? At this moment, several powerful figures are in there!

Lin Xiao's heart tightened. He dared not let his focus waver and immediately channeled all his energy into circulating the Beiming True Qi to refine the remaining poison!

He was somewhat surprised to realize something.

In that previous moment, it seemed that what he was concerned about was not whether the system task could be completed, but...

Junior Sister Yurong's safety!

「 」

The Great Qi Dynasty, Canglan City. In Chonghua Square, the city's largest marketplace, the streets were bustling with carriages and people, and festive lanterns were just beginning to illuminate the evening.

In front of the city's largest brothel, the Autumn Moon Building, rows of scantily-clad prostitutes were using every wile, their myriad coquettish displays aimed at luring the passing male clientele.

Among a group of well-dressed young masters from wealthy families, a slender figure in warrior's attire stood out. She wore a large felt hat that obscured her features, making her particularly conspicuous.

She was waiting for her prey.

And, according to the script in her mind, the target she was about to assassinate would soon exit the Autumn Moon Building and head towards Luoyue Town!

She was simply taking the initiative to strike!

Soon, the target appeared.

"Alright, alright, my dear darlings, don't see me off anymore, don't see me off!"

A middle-aged man with a full beard, an arm around a woman on either side, was surrounded by a bevy of beauties.

"Are you Left Protector Zhang Daoye of the Shadow Ghost Sect, also known by the Daoist title—Daoist Corpse Demon? Hmm?"

The woman in the large felt hat walked forward, stopping a hundred meters away, and blocked the bearded man's path.

"You..."

Having his identity revealed so directly, the middle-aged man was first stunned with shock.

Then, he sent the surrounding prostitutes flying with a shockwave, let out a monstrous howl, and a surging Yin Evil Qi erupted from his body. His fleshy palms instantly transformed into the ghastly white skeletal claws of a zombie, and he lunged at the mysterious woman!

Tsk tsk, the 'me' in the script would actually struggle against a good-for-nothing like you, fighting to a standstill.

But alas, to help Eldest Senior Brother change his fate, this fairy has painstakingly honed herself these past years. The real me is no longer comparable to the fictional me in that script.

Guo Yourong tossed aside her felt hat. The spiritual power in her body surged, her figure shot upwards, and her long, single ponytail whipped about in the night wind—

CLANG!

A crisp sound of something cleaving the air!

An incredibly intense, crimson sword light streaked across the night sky!

The blazing sword light flashed overhead!

The Daoist Corpse Demon's double-pupiled ghostly eyes widened in stunned horror!

Immediately after, his entire body, starting from the crown of his head, split in two!

He was...

Actually bisected by a single sword strike!

BANG!

As the "Ghost Core" he had condensed within his body suddenly shattered.

"AWOOO—"

A series of mournful, ghostly wails echoed through the night sky.

Countless corpse-ghosts and tormented souls he had captured and enslaved were able to break their bonds and dissipate into the world.

A Core Formation Stage ghost cultivator is nothing special after all.

A worthless thing that dies in one sword strike—how could it possibly let a scumbag like Ye Chen pick up the spoils?

Guo Yourong glanced contemptuously at the corpse beneath her feet. Then, her palm lit up with a brilliant radiance, illuminating the area.

Amidst the pile of flesh and blood, she found a colorful, glazed pearl, its surface covered with liquid Spirit Crystals!

The pearl emanated a comforting, auspicious aura that felt completely out of place with the surrounding sinister, ghostly Qi. It wasn't even stained with a speck of blood; it was undoubtedly a peerless treasure.

This must be the Spirit Formation Pearl that Ye Chen obtains in the script. No doubt about it.

I wonder if Eldest Senior Brother will like this, as a token of my affection?

As Guo Yourong thought this, she momentarily forgot she was deep in enemy territory. A faint blush crept up her cheeks, and a hint of yearning flickered in her eyes.

At this moment, an eerie, androgynous male voice, like the whisperings of a ghost, drifted over:

"Your Qinglan Sect is truly interesting."

"Sending a mere mid-stage Golden Core cultivator to infiltrate my Demon Sect's main camp and slaughter a protector of the Shadow Ghost Sect. Such audacity!"

Not good! This person—is very strong!

Sensing the killing intent, Guo Yourong instinctively dropped the Spirit Formation Pearl. Gripping her Lifebound Taibai Sword in her right hand, her left ready to command her flying sword, she prepared to turn and defend with all her might!

However, she was still a step too late!

Due to her momentary lapse in concentration, this Demon practitioner had successfully ambushed her, breaking through her guard, sealing her Qi, and rendering her completely immobile!

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH—

In the void, ghostly shadows swirled densely, and Yin souls roamed!

THWACK!

A sinister, terrifying palm, reflecting countless ghostly faces and radiating a massive baleful aura, slammed towards her back!

It was only in this instant that she finally saw her attacker's face!

The newcomer appeared to be in his early thirties, dressed in luxurious brocade robes. With an oily-haired and powder-faced appearance, he looked just like a profligate young master from a wealthy commoner family!

However, the aura of his cultivation level was terrifyingly powerful...

He's at least at the mid-stage Dharma Appearance realm or higher!

A minor realm above my own!

"Well, well, before I kill someone, I have a little habit, hehehehe..."

The man halted his palm strike just in time. Instead, he used his immensely powerful baleful Qi to completely suppress the young woman on the ground, immobilizing her.

Then, he chuckled wickedly, "Don't worry. Unlike that trash Daoist Corpse Demon, I prefer men!"

"Before I devour you, I want you to know my true name in your terror—"

"Soul Sky Sect—Young Master of Soul Hall—Ji Aotian! HAHAHAHA!"

The man cackled ferociously, his Yin Evil Qi flaring. He spread his palm, and a massive, blood-red maw, seemingly capable of devouring everything, appeared!

"Become nourishment for me, little cultivator! HAHAHAHAHA..."

The man's shrill laughter echoed in her ears.

Guo Yourong's consciousness began to fade, and for the first time, her heart was filled with despair!

To think, even when she had crawled out from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood of her clansmen, she had never felt such fear!

So, this is what true Demons are like?

Guo Yourong, Guo Yourong, you who prided yourself on being extraordinary and were so arrogant—before these Demon villains who live on the edge and kill without remorse, you're nothing but a coddled flower!

Since I've lost, then I should just die!

How can the weak deserve to live in this world?

She mocked herself inwardly and simply closed her eyes.

As she neared the final moments of her life, an image solidified in her mind.

Under a boundless starry sky, a handsome youth in snow-white robes, like a celestial being, had descended before her eight-year-old self...

"Let's go, Eldest Senior Brother will take you to kill!"

That's what he had said.

Carrying the young her on his back, he traveled by Sword Control all the way to the Great Zhou border. Though merely at the peak of Qi Cultivation, he painstakingly devised a way to wear down and kill Xiang Tianba—the secular Martial Arts master who served as the Empress's errand person and the one who had slaughtered Guo Yourong's entire family.

That day, watching Xiang Tianba's head being severed...

Her inner demon was vanquished.

It was also on that day...

That the orphaned girl of the Guo family, plagued by nightmares, timid and weak, disappeared.

In her place stood...

An invincible fighter, one who had once overshadowed her peers and become the second personal disciple of Divine Phoenix Peak by winning the Five Branches Martial Champion title!

Eldest Senior Brother...

Such a pity.

Yurong still has so, so much she wanted to tell you...

Thinking of the person deep within her heart, even someone as strong as her couldn't stop the tears from streaming down like rain.

RUMBLE!

Suddenly, a sound like a clap of thunder reverberated from the heavens!

This Sword Intent... it's so familiar!

Her heart leaped, and she snapped her eyes open!

There, under the moonlight, stood a man in snow-white robes, his eyes blazing with fury, his sword cleaving through the air as he arrived!

It's Eldest Senior Brother!

It's an Eldest Senior Brother she had never seen before—unleashing his full power, utterly enraged!

"You... Who are you!?"

At the same time, Ji Aotian, the Young Master of Soul Hall, also sensed this incomparably sharp and domineering Sword Intent!

He quickly put the young woman down, attempting to summon his Lifebound weapon to parry the sword light.

However.

The sword light seemed to warp space and transcend time. In an instant, it was already descending upon the crown of his head!

The next moment—

BANG!

Ji Aotian's physical body instantly disintegrated into smithereens under the tons of lightning. At the last moment, he attempted to escape using his Soul Dharma Appearance, but it too was torn to shreds by the boundless sword pressure!

"Monster! This is a Sword Dao monster! Damn it!"

"How could the declining Qinglan Sect possibly have such a heaven-defying figure! Aaaah!"

An utterly wretched scream tore through the night sky.

Peace and quiet returned to the world.

Lin Xiao's handsome eyes were cold. He sheathed his sword and couldn't resist spitting at the corpse of the Young Master of Soul Hall.

Hmph, can't even manage a proper 'Jie Jie Jie' laugh, and you dare call yourself Young Master of Soul Hall?

Something's not right...

How am I so powerful!?

I'm just a minor antagonist minion, damn it!
