The next day, several shocking messages spread within the Double Blade Sect, suddenly shaking the entire sect from top to bottom.
The first news is that Wang Hu, the eldest senior brother of the inner door of the Reward Hall, has returned after his training.
Wang Hu, the first inner disciple of the Double Blade Sect's internal competition last year, later challenged Wu Zhou, the core disciple of the Crazy Sand Knife, and lost by a single move.
Now, a year has passed, and Wang Hu has spent most of his time training outside, with no one knowing just how terrifying his true strength is.
"I saw Wang Hu last night, his aura was too overwhelming, from a distance he looked like an iron tiger, his muscles were as hard as steel, it was terrifying!"
"Wang Hu's senior apprentice was already an inner disciple last year, I believe this year won't be any different!"
"Not bad, after the sect's grand competition begins and all inner door disciples are selected, I will definitely put all my family property on Brother Wang Hu!"
"Right, I'll take down Wang Hu's senior brother too!"
As soon as the news came out, it instantly attracted the attention of many sect disciples, and the voices of discussion rose one after another.
And the second piece of news is about the Xu family, a sixth-grade family in Hanshui. Last night, a disciple of the sect was returning to the Double Blade Sect when he found a large number of corpses on the way back, with more than 40 people. After identification, it was confirmed that all the more than 40 people were from the Xu family of Hanshui.
After this news came out, the Double Blade Sect was in an uproar.
Although the Xu family of Hansheng is only a sixth-grade family, far inferior to the Double Blade Sect, in the Hansheng region, wanting to destroy a sixth-grade family with more than 40 high-ranking martial artists is impossible unless it's one of the four major sects.
But the fact once again overturned people's ideas in their hearts!
More than 40 Xu family guards, including the eldest elder of the Xu family, Xu Qing, a high-ranking martial artist with eight layers of refinement in his martial way, all died outside, not a single one survived!
When the three elders of the Double Blade Sect's Military Law Hall heard this news in their nightmare, they sat on the bed all night like a fool.
It wasn't until this morning that he sent back news of this to the Xu family in Hanshui!
"Who did it?! They killed the Xu family guards and even the Great Elder!" In the Grand Hall of the Military Strategy Pavilion, Xu Liu's face looked extremely unpleasant. Since Li Ke returned yesterday, his mood had not been good. Just last night, he had a nightmare as soon as he fell asleep.
In his nightmare, his closed-door disciples Xu Liang and Xu Zheng came to him with their faces covered in blood and flesh, seeking revenge.
The nightmare hadn't ended yet when news arrived that the team waiting to ambush Li Ke at Xu's house had been completely wiped out. Upon hearing this, Xu Liu's first reaction was that it was fake!
But in reality, his idea was wrong!
"Li Ke didn't even get a single kill, but instead got wiped out?" Xu Liu couldn't understand it. He thought about how these people were killed by Li Ke, but that was impossible, right?
Li Ke had only entered the Refining Soldier Realm for a short period of over 80 days, but among the Xu family's guards, apart from the strongest Great Elder Xu Qing who possessed an eighth-level Refining Soldier Realm cultivation, there were four guards with sixth-level cultivations. With such powerful strength, how could they possibly fail to kill Li Ke, who had not even been in the Refining Soldier Realm for three months?
So Xu Liu didn't believe at all that these people would be killed by Li Ke!
Although this matter has nothing to do with the Double Blade Sect, it is still a hot topic within the sect.
"What has the Xujia family done to offend someone? They've been killed one after another, over 40 people! This is the backbone of our clan!"
"Li Ke shouldn't have that much power, right? During this time, except for Li Ke killing Xu Tiao, the only son of the Xu family, there's no other news!"
"Li Ke! It can't be him, can it? But I heard that Li Ke killed Zhang Hao from the Zhang family yesterday, right outside the Bing Fa Building!"
"What! Li Ke actually killed Zhang Hao? Is he tired of living?! Zhang Hao is the younger brother of Zhang Hao, a core disciple ranked in the top 10! Isn't he afraid that Zhang Hao will look for him to settle the score?!"
"You don't know yet? Li Ke actually killed Zhang Hao's younger cousin Zhang Hao right in front of Zhang Hao!"
"My god! This is too fake! Zhang Hao remains unmoved? Watching his own younger cousin being killed?"
"No! I heard that Zhang Hao was about to take action and kill Li Ke, but it was Xue Lao, the master of the Bingfa Building, who stopped him!"
"Xue Lao? How did he come out? He never interferes with the sect's disciples' affairs, does he?"
"I don't know! But I heard that later Li Ke even turned around and issued a challenge to Zhang Hao, saying that in the sect's grand competition, he must kill his way into the inner circle and become the first, then challenge Zhang Hao!"
"This is just too unbelievable! It's not normal at all!"
"Haha! Who says it's not? I heard that yesterday, Tie Ma House's other waste material, Feng Erdao, actually issued a challenge to Lin Zhou Shixiong, who was ranked tenth in the inner door last year, also at the Sect Grand Competition!"
"What's going on here? Is there still justice in this world?! The two useless swords are being so arrogant! Are they even letting people live anymore?"
"Haha......"
Just as many disciples of various sects were discussing Li Ke and Cai Dao on the Double Blade Sect's square, Li Ke appeared in their line of sight with a smile on his face.
"Li Ke! It's Li Ke!"
"The former genius disciple is now a useless dual-wielder!"
"Hum! Daring to challenge Zhang Hao, a core-ranking disciple, I think he's just trying to show off. At the sect's grand competition, Zhang Hao will definitely beat him so badly that he won't be able to get up!"
Li Ke's appearance was met with even more intense debate from the surrounding crowd, with some of Zhang Hao's die-hard fans jeering in anger.
Listening to the heated discussions around him, Li Ke smiled lightly and didn't take these things to heart. Whether or not it was a ploy to win over the crowd would be revealed in the sect's grand competition!
Last night's cultivation allowed his power to break through to the sixth stage of the Refining Soldier Realm, and now six segments of his Flying Knife Soldier Soul have been refined into a physical form. With the Overbearing Qi and the Wind Cloud Qi added, his Flying Knife Soldier Soul has become extremely sharp, shattering an orange sixth-grade soldier soul is very simple.
Furthermore, his Flying Dagger Soul had refined the rare Xuan Yang energy in the world, becoming indestructible and unstoppable. Even a yellow fifth-grade Soul could be shattered with ease.
Li Ke came out today to go to the Golden Temple to hand over all the tasks he had accepted and exchange them for contributions to the sect.
"The greatest contribution of Menpai is in Shuangdao Zong!"
In the Double Blade Sect, making a contribution to the sect is something that all disciples yearn for, as it can be exchanged for high-level martial arts, elixirs, and weapons from the third and fourth floors of the Martial Arts Pavilion.
Oblivious to the surrounding gazes, Li Ke walked towards the Bounty Hall of the Double Blade Sect.
Shangjin Hall is also one of the thirteen external institutions of the Double Knife Sect, and the four elders Zhao Xudong are in charge.
Li Ke came to the Reward Hall and directly handed over all the sect tasks he had accepted. Last time he left the Double Blade Sect, most of the tasks he accepted were hunting metal beasts and collecting spiritual grass and yuan ore. After handing over all the tasks, Li Ke received a knife order, which recorded his sect's contribution.
"Eighty-five points of contribution from the school!"
Seeing the recorded contribution of the sect on the knife order, Li Ke couldn't help but shake his head. To think that the spiritual grass he had submitted, with its original ore, was worth around 700,000 to 800,000 taels of white silver, yet it only translated to a meager 85 points of sect contribution. It was really too little, not even enough for him to take a trip up to the third floor of the Military Law Building.
