  Li Ke took action, killing decisively, and by the time the Vegetable Knife Sect's elder brother brought the Five Elders and Ximen Wushuang to the grasslands, all that was left at their feet were corpses. However, the Iron Horse House disciples who followed close behind told Ximen Wushuang that Li Ke had already taken Lingyun back to the Iron Horse House safely.

  "My goodness! Did Li Ke's junior brother kill all of them?" The kitchen knife looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, his eyes filled with deep shock, his mouth agape. The other white-robed disciple was also shocked, his eyes wide with astonishment.

  Seven corpses of disciples with both inner and outer doors, only one person was killed by a kick that shattered his heart, the other six people were all pierced through the throat by flying dagger soldiers.

  The Flying Dagger Soul has dissipated, but the wound on his throat is still very clear.

  "Shen Yuan, Mu Ben..." Ximen Wushuang looked at the seven corpses and recognized two of them.

  "He... is... Shen Yuan... senior brother? The armory's first... Refining Soldier Realm... Fourth Stage of Power! Just a little bit weaker than the Seventh Elder... Shen Yuan senior brother?!?" Caidao stood beside Ximen Wushuang, staring at Shen Yuan's corpse in extreme shock, his voice trembling as he spoke.

  Shen Yuan is the eldest disciple of the Armory, one of the thirteen institutions of the Double Blade Sect. He is the most promising candidate to succeed as the future leader of the Armory, possessing an orange sixth-grade Soul Silver Ghost Head Knife and having achieved the fourth stage of Refining Arms Boundary. It can be said that under the elder, there is no one who can match him.

  In the Double Blade Sect, the thirteen great elders, although their status is extremely high, are far inferior to the core disciples. This is because the core disciples represent the sect's future hope, while the elders manage the sect.

  So the strength of the thirteen great elders was not particularly high, far from being as powerful as the core disciples!

  Ximen Wuduan nodded slightly, his gaze shifting as he walked a few steps beside the corpses. With each step, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. After seven steps, he stopped and his heart was already filled with shock and horror. Several inner sect disciples, with the highest cultivation at Fourfold Refining Soldier and the lowest at Twofold Refining Soldier, were all killed with a single move!

  What does this mean?

  This shows that the seven disciples didn't even have the power to counterattack and were all killed by the opponent!

  Thinking of this, Ximen Wushuang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, all of this was too unbelievable, or rather, Li Ke was too unbelievable.

  "Is this still the useless Flying Dagger Soul? Is this still the most looked down upon Flying Dagger Soul? Ordinary Flying Dagger Souls are thin, soft, and very hard to kill with, but Li Ke's flying daggers are different, fierce! Sharp! The most terrifying thing is that he has mastered some kind of horrific technique, specifically targeting weak points!"

  In the Divine Land, many warriors cultivate their physical bodies, such as Xu Zheng, who cultivated a body-refining technique called the Adamantine Body. Unfortunately, his Adamantine Body was no match for Li Ke's Soul-Splitting Dagger and was defeated in one hit!

  "I must keep such a person!"

  "I'm really looking forward to Li Ke's performance at the sect's grand competition after March!"

  Ximen Wuduan made up his mind, this time he must keep Li Ke safe, not just for the Sect's Grand Competition in three months, but more because he wanted to see how far Li Ke, a Seven-Grade Soldier Soul, could go on the path of martial arts.

  "Cutting Knife, find a few disciples to lift up these corpses and follow me! I want to see how Old Seventh resolves this matter! How dare they let their disciples come to my Iron Horse House to provoke trouble!"

  Ximen Wuduan smiled sinisterly, the disciples of the Armory died on their own turf, and he had to kill his way over to demand justice, Ximen Wuduan was completely trying to grasp the initiative!

  ……

  On the other side, Xi Men Wushuang led seven corpses to charge towards the armory with a fierce momentum. Li Ke naturally didn't know about it; after he carried Ling Yun back to the Iron Horse Room, he took care of him all along.

  Fortunately, Lingyun did not have any serious injuries and was just knocked unconscious.

  In the late afternoon, Lingyun slowly woke up.

  "Ah..." Lingyun woke up with a start and moved slightly, not knowing which part he had touched, and suddenly inhaled a mouthful of cold air, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.

  "Lingyun, you're awake!" Li Ke's expression eased as soon as he saw Lingyun wake up, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

  "Big Brother!" Lingyun exclaimed, seeing Li Ke again with a mix of shock and delight. "Big Brother, I thought I'd never see you again! Shen Yuan said he was going to use my corpse to lure you out and then kill you too! He said it was Xu Shixiong's idea and that after the deed is done, they would each get 3,000 taels of silver!"

  "Brother Xu?" Li Ke heard this and his eyes narrowed slightly. In the Double Blade Sect, disciples with the surname Xu were basically all closely related to Third Elder Xu Liu.

  "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the work of the Three Elders' faction! Brother Xu, I think it's 80% likely to be Xu Liu's eldest disciple, Xu Liang!"

  In the past few days, the Double Blade Sect has been spreading Xu Liu's anger everywhere. Even Xu Zheng, an inner disciple of the sect, was severely beaten. If not for the sake of the Double Blade Sect, Xu Liu might have even killed Xu Zheng.

  "Big brother, should we hide?" Lingyun listened to Li Ke's analysis and said hastily: "Big brother, as long as the green mountain is there, don't worry about having no firewood!"

  "Haha!" Li Ke smiled and said: "Younger brother, don't worry about me. A small sixth-grade family is nothing to me. But you, I'm worried about! Now, probably the only safest place for you in the entire Double Blade Sect is the Iron Horse House!"

  Lingyun's expression turned gloomy upon hearing this, he knew that he had been holding back his older brother, a proud son of heaven who should have a broader stage to roam and dominate.

  Li Ke looked at him with a faint smile in his eyes, patted Lingyun's shoulder and said with a firm gaze: "So Yun brother, you should hurry up and cultivate, strive to break through to the Lianbing realm as soon as possible. At that time, you can help me! The small Xu family will be eliminated sooner or later!"

  "Also, after things are settled, I might go to the Cold Spring Mountains for a trip. Three months later, I will definitely come back. During this time, you can focus on your training in An Xin Iron Horse House. Hopefully, when I return, you will have become an inner disciple!"

  "I'll get you a real sword later!"

  "Second-class forbidden land? Hanshui Mountains?" Lingyun was shocked upon hearing this, as the Hanshui Mountains were a second-class forbidden land within the Hanshou region, extremely dangerous with numerous metal beasts roaming inside.

  Li Ke nodded, his current cultivation speed was too fast, if he continued to cultivate and upgrade recklessly, it would be easy for his martial soul to become unstable, which would limit his future cultivation path.

  In addition, Li Ke also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to earn some real money and buy a few physical weapons to enhance his strength.

  Lingyun knew he couldn't stop Li Ke, so he worriedly asked: "But physical weapons are too expensive! Big brother... do you have that much silver?"

  Looking at Lingyun's appearance, Li Ke smiled and said: "Don't worry! When I return to the Double Blade Sect, I will definitely give you a mortal treasure sword!"

  "Alright! By then, I'll definitely break through to the ninth stage of the Qi Condensation Realm. Wait for big brother to come back and see my soldier soul's level!" Seeing Li Ke's extremely determined gaze, Ling Yun had absolute trust in his heart. Although physical weapons were expensive beyond measure, he believed that Li Ke would definitely be able to get one.

  "Uh-huh!" Li Ke smiled lightly, "Now you get some good rest! This time away is a bit longer, I should also start preparing too!"

  "Alright!"
