CHAPTER 14: CHAPTER 14: ADMIRATION

EDITOR: DRAGON BOAT TRANSLATION

The demon dog was already furious because Si Lin dodged its attack, and confident in its own cultivation, it believed no one on the Xuantian Continent could defeat it. Therefore, even though the sword light was powerful, it didn’t regard it seriously and turned to charge at Si Lin once more, raising its paw to strike at him.

The sword light instantly arrived in front of the demon dog, slicing through its raised paw, which was cut off, sending blood splattering everywhere.

"Howl! I will eat you!" The demon dog didn’t expect Si Lin’s sword light to be so formidable. Feeling the pain from the severed paw, it was directly enraged.

Its two heads lifted high, one of them aimed at Si Lin, suddenly opened its mouth wide, and a red blood mass flew out towards Si Lin.

Si Lin’s expression remained unchanged as the Dragon Capturing Sword under his control rose again, and just before the blood mass got close, his hand fell, and the Dragon Capturing Sword fell with it, slicing the blood mass in half, leaving flesh scattered on the ground.

The other head of the demon dog lunged towards Si Lin, intending to swallow him whole.

The dragon shadow on the Dragon Capturing Sword detached from the sword body, expanded in size, and hung behind Si Lin, filling the air with a terrifying suppression. The Demon Cultivator on the demon dog was directly forced to spit out a mouthful of blood, and the demon dog’s movements became sluggish.

"Slash!"

Si Lin shouted in a low voice, and the Dragon Capturing Sword slashed down from the air, the powerful Sword Qi sweeping up the dirt from the ground, rushing together towards the demon dog.

"Howl!"

The demon dog let out another painful howl, one of its heads was directly cut off, turning into a pool of blood that fell from mid-air, splashing everywhere.

The faces attached to the demon dog’s body simultaneously emitted cries of pain, the sound piercingly shrill, disturbing to the mind.

Unlike others who would surely be influenced by the sound, Si Lin remained unfazed, unleashing two more powerful attacks in succession. His expression unchanged, eyes cold, he didn’t give the demon dog a chance to react, launching another attack.

With one head and one paw chopped off, the demon dog’s strength was diminished, and it was utterly enraged. Ignoring the attention it might draw from the Heavenly Dao, it roared to the sky, its form suddenly swelling as it flew into the air.

Its enlarged body suddenly vanished, and a Blood River appeared in mid-air, floating with numerous human figures. Their expressions were either painful, ferocious, or fierce, enough to make one’s skin crawl.

The Blood River fell from the sky, rushing towards Si Lin, seemingly wanting to engulf him.

Seeing the Blood River, Si Lin frowned slightly, his eyes full of disdain, while the dragon shadow behind him showed the same expression.

This time, his sword move changed.

The dragon shadow returned to the Dragon Capturing Sword, which fell back into Si Lin’s hand. Holding the sword with both hands, head lowered, he murmured a string of spells, and just before the Blood River reached him, he finally raised his head again, lifted the Dragon Capturing Sword with both hands, and slashed down.

"Demon Suppressing Sword·Purification!"

As his voice fell, a golden light, brighter than before, appeared at the tip of his sword, and followed his movement towards the Blood River.

The light quickly collided with the Blood River, then the Blood River, like melting snow, disappeared under the sword light, completely purified.

Once the Blood River vanished, a figure fell from mid-air, crashing heavily to the ground—it was the Demon Cultivator from before.

After landing, he spat several mouthfuls of blood, then lay weakly on the ground, appearing nothing like his former arrogant self.

His face was full of wrinkles, his body thin and emaciated, looking as if he had been drained dry.

Si Lin descended from the air, and under the stunned and resentful gaze of his opponent, his sword tip slashed across, causing blood to spray from the Demon Cultivator’s neck, who then fell to the ground, completely ceasing to breathe.

Seeing the Demon Cultivator dead, Si Lin waved at the "bowl" that enveloped them, shrank it to palm size, and collected it.

Rong Ye held Gu Qingqing and brought the now-awakened Zhuo Tingqiu to Si Lin’s side, while Gu Qingqing looked at Si Lin with admiration in her eyes.

She had just witnessed the entire process; that demon dog was so formidable, yet Si Lin solved it with ease, making Gu Qingqing once again realize Si Lin’s power and admire him even more.

Covered in embarrassment, Zhuo Tingqiu was also gazing at Si Lin with shining eyes, having completely turned into a little fanboy!

Zhuo Tingqiu felt that tonight had truly been too much for him to endure. First, he was innocently abducted by the Demon Cultivator and thought he was doomed, but then he saw Gu Qingqing and the others break in. Initially, like the Demon Cultivator, he didn’t take them seriously because Si Lin and Rong Ye seemed too young, and Gu Qingqing looked like a child, none appearing to be experts.

But he didn’t expect Si Lin to be so powerful. When the demon dog appeared, he was already in despair, but he didn’t expect such a formidable demon dog wouldn’t last long in Si Lin’s hands, which was truly shocking!

Although Zhuo Tingqiu’s own cultivation wasn’t high, the Zhuo Family had quite a few peak sixth-order existences. He had seen these people fight, but he was sure there was not a single one as effortlessly capable as Si Lin, solving a being beyond the sixth order like it was nothing!

In Zhuo Tingqiu’s eyes, Si Lin had now become the most formidable person, and without exception!

Whether Zhuo Tingqiu admired himself or not was of no concern to Si Lin, but Gu Qingqing’s admiring gaze was very gratifying to him. It was the first time he felt this way, that as long as Gu Qingqing’s eyes could keep looking at him like this, he didn’t mind laying down his life for it.

"Senior Brother, you’re still the best!" Rong Ye naturally noticed Gu Qingqing’s demeanor, feeling a twinge of jealousy in his heart. Although he also acknowledged Si Lin’s prowess, he longed for that kind of admiration from Little Sister as well, thinking it must feel very blissful?

Faced with Rong Ye’s jealous reaction, Si Lin merely glanced at him, then gently but irresistibly took Gu Qingqing from Rong Ye’s arms. After sensing people approaching, he looked at the adoring Zhuo Tingqiu and then at Rong Ye.

"Someone’s coming, you explain. I’ll take Qingqing back; she needs to sleep." Rarely saying so much, Si Lin ignored Rong Ye’s reaction, tapped his toes, and left with Gu Qingqing.

"Really, leaving me to clean up the mess again!" Rong Ye muttered as he watched Si Lin and Gu Qingqing’s departing figures, then turned to Zhuo Tingqiu. "Hey, snap out of it. Your idol has already left."

Zhuo Tingqiu snapped back to reality at Rong Ye’s call, and upon realizing that Gu Qingqing and Si Lin had already left, he immediately wanted to chase after them, only to be pulled back by the collar by Rong Ye.

"Kid, what’s your hurry? There’s still something you need to deal with here!" Seeing Zhuo Tingqiu rushing to chase after Si Lin, Rong Ye directly grabbed him and, seeing him look over, gritted his teeth and said grumpily.

Zhuo Tingqiu looked at Rong Ye with a confused expression, not knowing what Rong Ye was talking about.

At that moment, over a dozen figures landed beside the two.

"Young Master!" The people who had been protecting Zhuo Tingqiu’s safety immediately rushed to his side upon seeing him.

"Young Master, are you alright? What happened here?" A middle-aged man dressed in blue anxiously asked, looking Zhuo Tingqiu over from head to toe.
