With her light body movement technique, she glided over to one of the disciples in green and lightly pressed her palm forward.

The disciple in green looked at her weak and delicate appearance and indignantly threw out a fist, intending to meet her challenge and oppress her with his superior strength as a man.

“Bang!” The disciple in green went limp and collapsed.

By the time he fell to the ground, he was already turning blue in the face. It was as though he had been frozen to death since his entire body was emitting a chill.

Xue Ling glided over to another disciple in green and pressed her palm forward.

After having seen what had just happened to his senior brother, the disciple knew how unusual her palm energy was and did not dare to face it head-on, so he moved his body sideways to evade her attack and intended to use that opportunity to strike her shoulder. However, he was taken off guard as her small, pale hand abruptly turned and changed its motion before hitting his chest.

“Bang!” This disciple in green went limp and fell to the ground as well. His face was pale while his body emanated cold air as if he had been frozen to death.

The body movement technique of these disciples seemed very clumsy to Xue Ling. Their inner energy appeared to be extremely below par too. When she used a Dark Yin Palm against them, she was no slower than Li Hanyan in terms of the time it took to kill.

Li Hanyan’s sword moved at lightning speed as she passed through the crowd of disciples with graceful and deft steps. Wherever she went, her sword would flash across their throats and end their lives.

With every stroke of her sword, the blade force would immediately bind itself to their throats and prevent any traces of blood from spilling before rushing up to their brains and taking their lives.

In the blink of an eye, twenty disciples dressed in green fell to the ground. None of them managed to defend themselves. It was a one-sided massacre.

Li Hanyan showed no hesitation while killing them. Instead, the more people she killed, the more her eyes shone with excitement. If she had not been restraining herself, she would have started laughing.

Meanwhile, Xue Ling realized that she was not as scared and discomfited as she had expected herself to be. On the contrary, she felt surprisingly calm, as if she was not killing people but was just stepping on ants. In fact, it could not even compare with the idea of stepping on ants, because usually she normally would not kill ants and would avoid stepping on them if she could.

“Faction Master!” Someone shouted with a terrified voice and ran toward the basilica.

Li Hanyan and Xue Ling both ignored the shouting.

As the rest of them glanced over, they quickly followed suit and rushed to the basilica. The remaining forty-two disciples disappeared in an instant.

Li Hanyan and Xue Ling pursued them to the basilica.

Inside the basilica sat two Grandmasters and eight innate masters.

When they saw all the disciples rushing over, they were initially confused. Soon after, they noticed Li Hanyan and Xue Ling. Since the Titanium Faction disciples consisted of only men, the two of them stood out like a sore thumb in the crowd.

“Who are you?!” The middle-aged man who was sitting in the main seat said coldly. “You’re very bold to storm into the Titanium Faction!”

“You people of the Titanium Faction have done all kinds of evil. Today, your retribution has come!” Li Hanyan shouted. “How many innocent lives have died by your hands? Today, I’ve come to claim your lives on their behalf. Don’t even think of running away!”

“Haha, this young lady has quite an arrogant character!” The man had a handsome face and an aura of superiority. “There have been many other martial arts masters with a strong sense of justice and righteousness like you, but none of them met a good end!”

“That’s because they were lacking in their capabilities.” Li Hanyan scoffed. “I can’t be bothered to listen to your nonsense any longer!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she swung her sword at a disciple’s throat.

The disciple’s eyes widened in disbelief at the fact that she had killed him right in front of the faction master.

“What impudence!” the man shouted. With exceptional agility, he passed through the crowd of disciples, immediately appearing before Li Hanyan and throwing out a fist.

“Tsh!” Li Hanyan thrust out her sword at lightning speed.

She was a genius at martial arts. After having learned the Seven Forms of Godly Sword from Chu Li, she performed the technique with formidable power, demonstrating the depth of her cultivation.

Li Hanyan’s innate talent in martial arts left Chu Li in amazement as well. If he did not have the Omniscient Mirror and the Life and Death Scripture, his advancement might not have been able to compare with that of Li Hanyan either.

“Ding…” The man’s fist collided head-on with her sword.

Li Hanyan could feel an immense force coming from the sword blade and was taken aback. Following the flow of the fist force, her sword swung an arc in the air and came at him once more.

“Ding…” The man’s fist hit the sword again.

His movements were extraordinarily fast as he glided over to Li Hanyan in a sudden leap and threw out his left fist, which moved like a Spirit Snake as it aimed for Li Hanyan’s chest.

Li Hanyan adjusted her footing and managed to dodge the fist but was shocked to find that she was no match for him!

She had not expected the faction master of the Titanium Faction to be so powerful.

Xue Ling also realized that their situation was dire. This faction master of the Titanium Faction was a daunting character. Li Hanyan might not be able to stand against him, and she was no match for him.

She turned around and saw that Chu Li had not followed them into the basilica.

Li Hanyan noticed her looking around and shouted, “Senior Sister, Brother Du won’t intervene. We have to do this on our own.”

“Alright!” Xue Ling replied. “Let’s fight him together!”

“You still have me to deal with!” A bald old man glided forward and launched a fist at her.

Xue Ling knitted her brows together and thrust her palm forward to receive it.

“Bang!” As his fist force and her palm energy collided in the air, there was a burst of cold air.

“Hmm, very interesting!” The bald old man said with a laugh and threw out another fist.

However, Xue Ling swiftly avoided it and instead went in front of a disciple in green before gently pressing her palm forward.

The disciple in green could not dodge the attack and collapsed limply to the ground. His face was pale and his body filled with cold air as though he had been frozen to death.

Following this, Xue Ling proceeded to enter the crowd of disciples to escape from the bald old man while killing off another disciple in green with her palm. Terrified, the rest of the disciples hurriedly ran out of the basilica and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xue Ling went after them and struck another one of them with her palm.

They were scattering in all directions, so Xue Ling was unable to pursue every one of them.

Xue Ling was left with no other choice. After having killed off four more of them, she could no longer pursue the others. Meanwhile, the bald old man had already caught up with her. As their palms and fists clashed repeatedly, they found that they were equally matched.

Xue Ling sensed how calm she was in this battle and how quick her mind was working. After having killed those people, that helpless feeling of not knowing what techniques and skills to use had vanished entirely. Now, she let nature take its course and made her moves according to instinct. With this, she began to display surprising power and might.

She was not worried about the possibility of Li Hanyan being defeated since the young master was still around. At most, Li Hanyan would suffer some injuries, but her life was not at risk.

In the meantime, Li Hanyan’s situation was worsening as she continued to pit herself against the faction master of the Titanium Faction. Soon, she was struck by his fist.

His fist force felt like an endless stream and a never-ending whirlpool. Despite her attempts to dispel the pervading force, it slipped through her control and unwittingly turned her inner energy into a mess.

Li Hanyan knew that unless she was on the brink of death, Brother Du would never lend her his help. Thus, she had to depend on herself.

Suddenly, she was struck by inspiration and instantly spat out a mouthful of blood before letting her body go limp all over.

The faction master of the Titanium Faction shook his head and chuckled before taking advantage of her moment of weakness to land another punch on her.

“Bang!” Li Hanyan was sent flying. She sprayed a mouthful of blood in midair once again before crashing to the ground. Her right hand released its grip on the sword, which dropped beside her.

The faction master approached her and sighed. “It’ll be such a pity to kill off a beautiful woman like you. Hmm, I’ll just cripple your cultivation. You shall stay by my side from now on!”

Then, he leaned forward to hit Li Hanyan’s lower abdomen.

“Tsh!” Li Hanyan suddenly stretched out her hand and caught hold of her sword’s hilt before swinging the sword at him. The blade swept over his throat in a flash.

The faction master clutched his throat in shock and glared at her in disbelief. His gaze shone with indignance as he slowly fell to the ground.

Li Hanyan turned to her side to avoid him and leaped up onto her feet with a smug scoff. She had an inner cuirass in her body!

Her inner cuirass could withstand any damage inflicted by inner forces and weapons, and reduce the damage by seventy to eighty percent. While she did suffer some internal injuries, they were far from severe and would not affect her combat abilities. This intentional show of weakness was a useful move!

Chu Li appeared suddenly and lightly patted her back. He sent a bout of warm and thick inner energy into her body as he smiled and said, “Well done. This is a Green Deer Cliff disciple!”

“Green Deer Cliff?” Li Hanyan was taken aback. “How is that possible?”

Chu Li laughed and replied, “Why is that impossible?

“He’s most likely a renegade of Green Deer Cliff.” Chu Li shook his head and sighed. “Who would’ve expected Green Deer Cliff to have renegades too?”
