Arc 3: Part 58
"Puh!"
Shan Zongguang spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his expression full of shock and pain. Filthy blood was flowing from his seven orifices, and he screamed, his hands opening and closing spasmodically, reflexively trying to touch his abdomen.
However, he dared not apply any pressure. At this point, his Dantian was occupied by a searing pain that drilled into his bones. A thought crossed his mind, but he immediately blanked out. Trembling and unable to stand, he fell onto his back.
His Dantian had shattered.
"Xiao Bai, stop immediately! You can't kill people inside the City of Independent Cultivators!" The cultivators were utterly terrified and screamed, "Don’t kill him! As long as he is still breathing, it won't contradict the City of Independent Cultivators’ rule. If he dies, it will create issues for our masters..."
Tong Su looked indifferently at Shan Zongguang, who was lying on the ground. She lifted her hand and the fire sword dissipated in the wind. She calmly declared, "I didn't kill him. I just crippled him."
The crowd let out a sigh of relief, their hearts at ease.
"That's good..."
Tong Su pursed her lips. Had they not been in City of Independent Cultivators, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she would never have let Shan Zongguang go after he dared to insult Tian Xuan Zi so!
Shan Zongguang, clutching his Dantian, rolled on the ground and cried out in despair, "You've crippled me! You've ruined my Dantian! Does the regulation of City of Independent Cultivators no longer exist? Someone come, she is a murderer!"
Before Bai Tong could speak, the surrounding weapon cultivators were already furious, clenching their fists and angrily shouting, "Have you no shame?! Weren't you the one who started it? If Xiao Bai didn't block it, your attack would have targeted her spirit platform!"
"At over two hundred years old, you couldn't even defeat a young girl, and you think you have any dignity?!"
"Shameless! She didn't even kill you; crippling you could be considered showing mercy!"
"You started the fight, and whoever provokes first deserves a merciless blow. Serves you right!"
Shan Zongguang shivered all over, his core inside his Dantian burnt and ruined by the wild fire. The unbearable pain made him wish for death. He lifted his head with resentment and fiercely stared at Tong Su, cursing under his breath:
"Bai Tong, you demon, you'll die eventually! Aren't you afraid of me revealing his identity? See who will tolerate you then!"
Bai Tong let out a soft laugh, her beautiful face resembling the rising sun. The twinkling golden-red flame occasionally flickered, making her even more dazzling. Her eyes, cold and sharp, were as icy as a blade.
Shan Zongguang's heart skipped a beat. He felt as if she was a vengeful ghost that had crawled up from hell. Even in his resentment, he momentarily lost his awareness.
She was truly beautiful and strong.
"Can't tolerate me? You can try, dare you reveal it?"
Shan Zongguang's lips trembled as he glanced around, finding that the people from the City of Independent Cultivators were staring at him with disgust.
These people were clearly curious about their conversation, but none of them felt compelled to dig deeper. They seemed to think it was Bai Tong's privacy and refrained from asking questions.
—These cultivators!
Why do they have such high moral standards?
Shan Zongguang wished he could immediately expose the truth. 'You don't know who Bai Tong, the person you've accepted as one of your own, truly is!'
'Her senior brother is Immortal Lord Jing Yang, who has fallen into demon cultivation! He's now the Lord of the Demon Realm!'
'Since she has a senior brother in demon cultivation, she too will eventually become a demon cultivator! Are you all blind to take her as one of your own? Shouldn't you kill her to uphold justice?'
However...
He didn't dare to say it.
Shan Zongguang's expression was bitter.
Until now, the Ziwei Heavenly Palace was still making great efforts to keep the news of Tian Xuanzi's fall into demon cultivation a secret.
