Chapter 66: Chapter 70: Vicious and Ruthless

Fifty meters, a hundred meters, two hundred meters...

The Li Dragon flew higher and higher, making Wang Xin even more desperate. For a Martial Artist in the Condensing Realm, this height was already enough to fall to their death. What’s more, the Li Dragon continued to climb higher. Even if Wang Junze really managed to kill the Li Dragon, he too would hardly escape death.

If Han Ying were unscathed, there might still be hope of saving Wang Junze. But having just had half her body crushed by the Li Dragon, Han Ying was already gravely injured and at death’s door. Let alone saving someone else, she herself could succumb at any moment. This was clearly a hopeless dead end.

"Woo!"

Moments later, a mournful cry suddenly echoed through the air, and in the next instant, everyone could clearly see the Li Dragon plummeting from the sky, tumbling down from hundreds of meters high!

Boom!

With a loud crash, the Li Dragon’s body slammed into the bottom of the cliff, creating a large pit in the ground, its flesh splattering everywhere. Yet, there was no reaction from it, clearly already dead. As for Wang Junze, he was nowhere to be seen, likely already flung away, his corpse probably thrown somewhere on the mountain path, reduced to a pulp.

"Hahahahaha!"

Sword in one hand, looking at the nearby corpse of the Li Dragon, Lin Kaiwei couldn’t help but laugh loudly.

Although having burnt his Divine Soul again, his current state was truly at its worst, but nevertheless, he had survived!

It must be known, although the Li Dragon as a Demon Beast was terrifying, once killed, the benefits were equally abundant. Whether it be Dragon Blood, Dragon Sinew, or Keel, even its flesh, all contained great amounts of Spiritual Qi. One could say every part was a treasure!

The most crucial thing is the Li Dragon Core!

This was the real treasure. Originally, by forcibly burning his Divine Soul, even if he survived, it would have nearly ended his path of cultivation, needing more than ten years to recover. But as long as he swallowed the Li Dragon Core, he could recover rapidly — this was the true invaluable treasure!

Not to exaggerate, if he now willingly offered the Li Dragon Core to Han Ying, even in her dying state, there was still a significant chance to save her life.

But now, Han Ying was in no position to contend for the Li Dragon Core with him!

Now at the bottom of Broken Dragon Cliff, among the living, Han Ying was gravely injured and near death, almost beyond saving, with death being just a matter of time. The other two, his nephew Lin Yong and Wang Xin, were also heavily injured and clearly exhausted. Even in his poor state, he was confident he could kill Wang Xin.

Thus, once Han Ying died and then Wang Xin was killed, he would be the only victor of this battle.

Not only would he eliminate the menace of Wang Junze but also swallow the Li Dragon Core to heal his wounds, take the Li Dragon’s body as spoils back to Jubei City, and even gain a good reputation for rescuing the Cloud Mirror Sect. Simply perfect!

"Master Lin Si!"

Blood still flowing from her wounds, Han Ying used the last of her breath to barely lift her head and spoke in a deep voice, "The fame and benefits of killing the Li Dragon, our Cloud Mirror Sect can give them to you, but... on account of our once joining forces, can you... please, spare Xin’er?"

Regarding the current situation, Han Ying certainly saw it all too clearly, but was already powerless, only able to fight for a chance at life for her disciple.

"Master!"

Kneeling beside Han Ying, Wang Xin couldn’t help but burst into tears.

The day was utterly cruel to her, not only had her brother died, but now even her master was about to pass away. In these final moments of life, her master was still trying to carve out a chance for her to survive, how could she not feel sorrow?

"What good does sparing her do for me?"

Raising his head, Lin Kaiwei disdainfully countered, "Elder Han, at this point, don’t you think you have the qualifications to negotiate with me?"

"Our sect... earlier, disciples escaped from Broken Dragon Cliff!" Slightly closing her eyes, adjusting her breath, Han Ying struggled to speak, "Spare Xin’er, she can testify for you, proving you indeed came to rescue our sect... Otherwise, even if you kill all of us, you are bound to bear infamy."

"After all, I am an Elder of the Cloud Mirror Sect, the sect will not let my death be in vain. Even if there is no evidence... you would be establishing a great foe for your Lin Family!"

Glaring at Lin Kaiwei, Han Ying persevered to continue, "Sparing Xin’er, for you, will bring the greatest benefit!"

"Will she speak in my favor?" Letting out a cold snort, Lin Kaiwei said chillingly, "Han Ying, don’t assume I’m a fool. If I let her live today, once she returns to the sect, she will only turn against me! For me, killing her is the best way to eliminate a hidden threat."

"As for those disciples who escaped... they’re just small fry, can their words serve as evidence?" Pointing at the Li Dragon’s corpse, Lin Kaiwei continued, "The Li Dragon’s body, the marks left from this battle, these are the strongest evidence! No matter who comes to investigate, wouldn’t they conclude that we together killed the Li Dragon?"
