Systemless Villain

Chapter 97 Echoes of Chaos

Some people in the vicinity noticed the strange energy and immediately turned around, shocked by the scene unfolding before them.

"Hey, the woman isn't dead; she even looks stronger!" one of them shouted, pointing towards Li Yue'er.

The five elite men quickly turned and were taken aback. They had been certain that Li Yue'er was dead, yet here she stood, emanating a different aura.

"What the heck? Is she still alive? Weren't you sure you killed her?" one of them asked, furrowing his brow.

"Well, if she's alive, I'll just have to kill her again," another man replied, sounding confident.

He then strode towards Li Yue'er, drawing his sword from its sheath. In a swift motion, he appeared in front of her and thrust his sword. However, Li Yue'er effortlessly dodged it.

He was taken aback, and as he attempted to pull his hand back, his hand inexplicably fell to the ground, severed!

His eyes widened in disbelief. "Aaaaaaaargh!" he screamed loudly.

But in the next moment, his scream was abruptly silenced as his head was suddenly decapitated from his body, crashing to the ground. Shortly after, his headless body followed suit, collapsing.

Everyone who witnessed this gruesome scene was stunned and incredulous, especially the four remaining elite men.

"Damn, what just happened?! He's a level 7 Qi Foundation cultivator; how could she dispatch him so easily?" one of them said in disbelief.

Amidst the disbelief hanging in the air, one of the elites appeared visibly enraged, his aura intensifying. "My brother... you killed my brother!" he exclaimed.

In the next moment, a martial spirit in the form of a large white tiger materialized above him.

"I'm going to tear you apart!" he shouted, his anger ablaze.

Yet, Li Yue'er raised her sword high and sliced through the air with deliberate slowness. But in the next moment...

Slash!

The white tiger martial spirit inexplicably split into two. Almost instantly, the man froze in place, blood streaming from his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears. Shortly thereafter, he collapsed, his soul seemingly torn asunder!

The atmosphere fell silent as everyone stared in disbelief.

But in the next moment, a cry rang out, "She's not an ordinary person; gang up on her together!"

With that rallying cry, dozens of people charged towards Li Yue'er.

Li Yue'er remained composed. She flicked her fingers, and dark energy surged from the ground, forcibly entering the mouths of some of those people.

They immediately lost control of their bodies, their blood tainted by the dark energy.

In the ensuing chaos, they began attacking each other, unable to resist!

Slash after slash, flesh was rent asunder, limbs severed.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

"Ah, stop! I can't control myself!"

"Noooo, I don't want to die!"

"Aaaaagrh!"

The screams painted a horrifying tableau of terror.

The remaining bandits observed this nightmarish scene, their comrades turning on each other with lethal intent.

However, Li Yue'er had no intention of stopping with just that enigmatic technique. She promptly moved and engaged the remaining bandits, leaving them no room for retaliation.

Her strength, once at the Body Tempering realm, had now ascended to an unknown level.

-------------------

Meanwhile, Long Tian and Gui Hu continued their intense struggle near the entrance. Despite Gui Hu's higher cultivation base, Long Tian's incomprehensible physical prowess made their strengths nearly equal. Even when Gui Hu summoned his sabertooth predator martial spirit, he still found it challenging.

At a crucial moment, Long Tian discerned a golden opportunity and lashed out at Gui Hu.

Claw!

The dragon claw landed on Gui Hu, inflicting a deep, bleeding gash.

Gui Hu hastily retreated numerous paces, clutching the wound, which had narrowly avoided a vital organ.

As he gradually retreated, something peculiar caught his eye. He glanced down and beheld a pool of blood.

"What the hell is this?" he wondered, furrowing his brow.

He swiveled around and was confronted with a staggering sight.

In front of him, dozens of lifeless bodies littered the ground, with a woman shrouded in darkness standing solitary, her sword bathed in blood.

Gui Hu's expression oscillated between shock and disbelief. The woman he had presumed deceased was not only alive but also ruthlessly exterminating dozens of his subordinates.

On the flip side, Long Tian was equally stunned by the spectacle. The woman he now saw, without a shadow of a doubt, was Li Yue'er.

Meanwhile, Gui Hu felt his life teetering on the brink. Before him stood an enigmatic woman who was massacring his subordinates, and behind him was Long Tian, a man endowed with unfathomable physical might.

Confronted by these two formidable adversaries, Gui Hu was plagued by a sense of overwhelming despair.

As he blinked, Li Yue'er suddenly materialized in front of him.

"What the—" he barely had time to react as Li Yue'er initiated a blistering assault.

Clank!

Clank!

Clank!

Clank!

Each strike was executed with precision and tremendous force, relentlessly overpowering him. In a desperate bid to defend himself, Gui Hu launched a counter attack, thrusting his sword towards Li Yue'er.

However, his blade failed to reach Li Yue'er, and inexplicably, he found himself unable to manipulate his weapon.

His countenance shifted from shock to sheer panic. Li Yue'er remained as cool as ice, seizing the opportunity to carve her sword into Gui Hu's flesh.

Slash!

"Aaaaaaargh!"

Slash!

Slash!

"Aaaaaargh!"

Slash!

"Stop!"

Slash!

Slash!

Her strikes were deliberate and merciless, piercing Gui Hu's body and inflicting grievous wounds.

Gasping for breath, Gui Hu could hardly move at this point.

"Damn it, I, the great Gui Hu, the—"

Slash!

His voice dwindled into silence as Li Yue'er severed his throat. Gui Hu's headless corpse crumpled to the ground.

Li Yue'er stood amidst the aftermath, embodying the visage of the Angel of Death, unflinchingly extinguishing lives.

On the flip side, Long Tian felt as though Li Yue'er was an entirely different entity. He struggled to discern her current cultivation realm or strength.

As he cautiously approached, Li Yue'er sprung into action once more, launching an attack on him!
