Of course, Ling Yun wasn't a homicidal maniac.
Before the fight, Ling Yun had said that he would spare the lives of the five disciples of Deity Sword Mountain Villa. He would use their lives to pay for saving Qin Qiuyue's life.
However, there was a condition. Ling Yun's bottom line was that there wouldn't be any ambush from other sects, other than the people from Deity Sword Mountain Villa.
No matter how hard the Deity Sword Mountain Villa tried to force Qin Dongxue, Ling Yun could let bygones be bygones as long as there wasn't any ambush.
However, if there was an ambush, Ling Yun would definitely kill Guo Xiaotian!
The only advantage the Deity Sword Mountain Villa had over the other sects was Qin Dongxue. That was because Qin Dongxue was the direct disciple of the Deity Sword Mountain Villa and Ling Yun's aunt.
In short, everyone was still considered a family. If there was a conflict, they could talk it out. If they couldn't, they could fight. Whether it hurt or not, no matter who won or lost, it was still an internal conflict in the family.
Therefore, even though Ling Yun seemed arrogant, he was actually tolerant. He had always left some leeway for the Deity Sword Mountain Villa.
Ling Yun could have killed Liu Suifeng with one blow, but he didn't.
Ling Yun could have killed Wu Qifeng with one blow, but he didn't.
In the end, Ling Yun could have crushed Guo Xiaotian's head with one blow, but he didn't.
This wasn't Ling Yun's style at all. The reason why he had been tolerating was because of Qin Dongxue. He understood Qin Dongxue's thoughts and knew that she was in a difficult position. Ling Yun didn't want to put her in a difficult position.
Ling Yun came here tonight to protect Qin Dongxue and support her. He was only in charge of fighting. As for how Qin Dongxue would deal with the Deity Sword Mountain Villa after he won, he wouldn't interfere. Everything was up to Qin Dongxue's arrangements.
Qin Dongxue was smart. Since she came to Dragon Gate Mountain tonight, she must have thought of a way to explain and deal with the matter.
Qin Dongxue just needed a chance to explain. Guo Xiaotian didn't give it, but Ling Yun fought for it.
He pressed down on Guo Xiaotian's head, not because he wanted to kill Guo Xiaotian, but because he wanted the people from Deity Sword Mountain Villa to listen to Qin Dongxue's explanation.
If the people from Deity Sword Mountain Villa were smart enough to listen to Qin Dongxue's explanation, they wouldn't be able to accept it. Not only would Ling Yun spare Guo Xiaotian's life, but he would also use his heaven-defying medical skills to treat Guo Xiaotian's injuries.
If the people of Deity Sword Mountain Villa still could not accept the explanation, Ling Yun would let them go down the mountain safely and leave on their own.
People of different principles couldn't make plans together. At most, they would just mind their own business from now on and never come into contact with each other.
Ling Yun did not care about one more enemy, and he naturally did not care about one less ally. If he let go of the people from Deity Sword Villa, even if they wanted to cause trouble for Ling Yun in the future, he would take it all on.
There was no need for him to kill someone from Qin Dongxue's sect in front of her.
But Guo Xiaotian didn't know what was good for him.
They had lost, and everyone's lives were in Ling Yun's hands. Yet, they still wanted to act tough!
It's fine if you want to act tough, but you're just a small Deity Sword Mountain Villa. If you want to kick my aunt out of the sect, fine!
Anyway, there was no benefit for Qin Dongxue to stay in such a trashy sect. Ling Yun could not wait for Qin Dongxue to take the opportunity to leave Deity Sword Mountain Villa!
Ling Yun could tolerate all of this, but the people from Deity Sword Mountain Villa should not have used Qin Dongxue as bait to lure Ling Yun into the trap. Then, they would let those sects lay in ambush and kill Ling Yun in one fell swoop!
Guo Xiaotian had successfully opened Ling Yun's reverse scale.
Dragons had reverse scales, and those who touched it would be killed!
Therefore, after Ling Yun heard that there was indeed an ambush, he immediately smashed Guo Xiaotian's head with his palm without hesitation!
Guo Xiaotian's white brain matter splattered all over the ground!
"Let's go!"
After Ji Xiaoqing sent out the signal flare, her figure flashed to the side of the dazed Wu Qifeng and dragged him down the mountain!
Zhong Chunyan had never seen a person's head being smashed like a watermelon. After a moment of shock, she immediately fled for her life!
Needless to say, Liu Suifeng escaped the fastest. When Guo Xiaotian sent out the signal, he immediately used his Qinggong to the extreme and disappeared into the dark forest.
The four people from Deity Sword Mountain Villa were like frightened birds. They scattered in all directions. They didn't know that their escape was unnecessary because Ling Yun didn't move at all.
Qin Dongxue flew over with tears in her beautiful eyes. She stared blankly at Guo Xiaotian's headless body that was still sitting cross-legged. Her lips trembled, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
"Ling Yun, didn't you say that you wouldn't kill them? Why did you kill my Big Senior Brother? "
Qin Dongxue couldn't stop her tears from flowing after being stunned for a long time. She wiped her tears abruptly and questioned Ling Yun.
Ling Yun looked up at the bright signal flare that hadn't disappeared in time. After a long silence, he said faintly, "He deserved to die. He claimed to exterminate evil and protect justice, but he was heartless."
Qin Dongxue yelled at Ling Yun, "He was heartless, but we can't be disloyal! Have you forgotten? Our Qin Family is indebted to Deity Sword Mountain Villa, and Big Senior Brother taught me his skills … "
Ling Yun knew that Qin Dongxue was angry, but he wasn't anxious. He only smiled faintly. "Aunty, you know my character. If Deity Sword Mountain Villa didn't join forces with the orthodox sects to ambush me tonight, I wouldn't care how they made things difficult for you. As long as they didn't hurt you, I would let them do whatever they wanted! "
"But you've seen it for yourself. I've been tolerating them. What did Guo Xiaotian do?"
"Aunty, think about it. Since they ambushed you in advance, what are you in the eyes of Deity Sword Mountain Villa?"
Ling Yun turned slowly and looked at Qin Dongxue. "To them, you're just a bait to lure me into this trap!"
"I did come tonight. If I didn't, I have a hundred reasons to believe that Guo Xiaotian would cripple your martial arts, expel you from the sect, and use you as a hostage to force me to appear. Then, he would join forces with the orthodox sects to kill me in one fell swoop!"
"Aunty, you've been thinking about Deity Sword Mountain Villa the entire day, but in the eyes of Deity Sword Mountain Villa, you're already a sacrifice!"
"With a sect like this, why do you still care about the camaraderie between you and your master? Since you came here, has Guo Xiaotian ever listened to you at all?! Is there anyone like him who acts like a Big Senior Brother? "
Qin Dongxue was rendered speechless by Ling Yun's continuous questioning.
Seeing that Qin Dongxue wasn't speaking, Ling Yun's expression softened. "Moreover, I only slapped Guo Xiaotian to vent my anger."
"Guo Xiaotian forcefully activated his secret technique and used the Heavenly Sword Technique. His thoughts were already scattered by my hundreds of punches!"
"He was already at the end of his rope. If he didn't force himself to say those words, he could still be an ordinary person after he left. However, he didn't choose to do so. Instead, he used all his strength to expel you from the sect and let your Senior Sister send a signal …"
"I pressed my hand on his head. It looked like I was threatening Deity Sword Mountain Villa, but I was actually trying to save his life! After he said those two sentences, he was definitely going to die! "
"I admit that I had the intention to kill him with that last slap. However, since he was already dead, why didn't I send him on his way and let him suffer less pain?"
Ling Yun was speaking the truth. Ling Yun could have saved or killed Guo Xiaotian in his current state. However, why didn't he kill Guo Xiaotian since he wanted to die?
"But … with your medical skills, you can definitely save him!" Qin Dongxue said blankly.
"Why should I save him?" Ling Yun asked coldly.
"Since Guo Xiaotian is willing to die for a righteous cause and wants to leave a good name in history, why don't I fulfill his wish!"
"I'd like to see, after he dies, just how many people from the righteous sects in the world will remember him?"
Finally, Qin Dongxue was speechless and kept quiet.
Ling Yun didn't say anything else. He stood at the peak of the mountain and looked at the silhouettes rushing up from all directions. He listened to the sounds of Qinggong breaking through the air. He suddenly raised his hand, and the Devil's Underworld Essence Blade that he had thrown to the ground instantly flew into his hands.
Ling Yun held the Devil's Blade in his left hand and pointed at the foot of the mountain. "Aunty, I know you don't feel good now, but this isn't the time to discuss these issues."
"Next, take a look at how your sect and your Big Senior Brother Guo Xiaotian plan to deal with me!"
Qin Dongxue's body tensed up as she regained her senses. Only then did she remember that she and Ling Yun were surrounded by all the sects in the world.
"Ling Yun, what should we do now?" Qin Dongxue asked Ling Yun subconsciously.
Ling Yun smirked and said, "What else can I do? "Since they've dug a pit for me to jump into, and I've really jumped into it, let's fight!"
"I've been waiting for this battle for a long time!" Ling Yun turned to look at Qin Dongxue with True Qi circulating throughout his body.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …"
Before Ling Yun could finish his sentence, more than ten figures rushed to the top of the Dragon Gate and surrounded them from all directions!
"Amitabha!"
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate!"
Ling Yun pulled Qin Dongxue behind him with a smile on his face and looked around at the crowd.
The first to rush to the top of the mountain were six monks, six Daoist priests, and a middle-aged man in layman's clothes.
Among the six monks, the leader was a monk wearing a kasaya and holding a Buddhist staff. He was in his thirties, had a tall stature, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. His voice was like a great bell, and it was him who had chanted the name of Buddha. (To be continued.)
