Then she used her knife to point at different parts of the boy's body;

"Any of his limbs will do…"

​​

Then she handed the knife over to Qing Tan and gave a final advice;

"Let us know how much pain you have felt…"

Instantly, Qing Tan's gaze became savage as she slowly walked up to the boy, giving him the scare of his life…

This was like knowing the kind of fate that awaits someone, then that fate should now come slowly, killing its victim on the inside with fear before finally unleashing its horror; that was the current Qing Tan…

"If you dare touch me, not only will I have my master; the fourth grand elder have you severely punished for this, I will also make sure that my Bai Clan hunt you guys down and have you pay for whatever you do to me 100 fold!"

Bai Yi was already getting flustered as Qing Tan slowly edged closer to him…

When Qing Tan got to his position, she first circled him like a predator eyeing a prey causing Bai Yi to begin to sweat bullets, then she stabbed his other thigh causing Bai Yi to lose balance and fall to the ground before balling up in agony as both his thighs were now bleeding, then she went up to his left armpit and plunged the knife deep into it that the back of her hand was actually touching the armpit…

Repeating the same thing to his other armpit, Qing Tan then took his left hand and used the knife to flay the skin and muscles on it…

Reaching the peak of her gore tolerance level, Qing Tan stood up and looked at the blood on her hands and the little flesh that didn't belong to her which slid off her fingers and couldn't help but puke straight into Bai Yi's face, before returning to Min Qing with a sickly face that seemed to hint that should she even do as much as look back to the bloodied Bai Yi, she was going to be shooting another projectile…

Min Qing walked past her and used her Frigid Water Dao to wet Bai Yi before allowing her Yin Qi flow into Bai Yi via his open wound, something that instantly caused Bai to begin to suffer hypothermia from both the inside and outside, as he curled up further into a ball in both agony from cold, his throbbing wounds and the last of all; he was paling significantly from blood loss…

Then Min Qing simply left him there and was about to ascend onto Elder Yun when she heard Bai Yi speak;

"I swear by the heavens that if I don't make you suffer a fate much worse than death, then I shall die!"

Cracka! Boom!

Lightning flashed in the sky as the heavens confirmed his oath;

"Bai Yi, What have you done!?" Rin Chen's voice arrived after he had actually reached Bai Yi's location…

That was the insane level of speed Rin Chen was capable of and it was a feat that caused the lying Min Hong to actually sit up and look at the newcomer…

"Then just die!"

Min Qing activated the 'Shadow Part' of her 'One With Dao' level [Chaotic Shadow Steps], leaving a very realistic afterimage behind which caught Rin Chen a little off guard, and before he could recover, Min Qing was already past him as she sent a stream of demonic purple flames towards the shivering Bai Yi with a wave of her sleeves;

Twiissshhh!

Smoke erupted as Min Qing heard a female voice;

"You really need to start learning some self-control…"

"No matter how powerful and unique you may be, you still have to learn to control your temperament which in turn helps you make rational decisions at all times…"

Ki Ting came out through the smoke as the sound water receding could be heard with every forward step she took…

"Are you insinuating that my actions are irrational!?"

Min Qing was already fuming once again as she asked seemingly ready to attack once again should this girl spit any form of offensive words out of her guts;

"Killing two of the top ten strongest core court disciple in less than a month, do you think the sect would really allow you to go scot free!?" Ki Ting spoke in a tone that was neither amicable nor hostile…

"Let's say for some insane reason that you were allowed to leave without any form of punishment, do you really want to have two of the top ten strongest Super Clans in the Empire looking for you?"

She continued as she bent down and touched Bai Yi sending a surge of her glittery greenish Healing Water Dao into Bai Yi, which first purged the Yin Qi within him out through his open wounds, something that caused Bai Yi who had been feeling agonizing pain for the past five minutes to moan in the pleasure that accompanied a very rapid healing…

Min Qing was slightly stunned by what was happening; this was the first time she would actually see someone purge out her Yin Qi, and on top of that, do so with such ease Ki Ting was currently using…

Then with the same single move, she healed all of Bai Yi's wound to the extent that, it was as if nothing ever happened to him at all;

"Just a single one of these Super Clans are enough to wipe out any clan outside of these Top ten rankings…"

Ki Ting continued as Xiao Gui and Gong Yi allowed her to do the talking whilst they kept looking at Min Hong who was seated atop the avian beast in front of them…

"…which means you are nothing worth mentioning in their eyes, and if Bai Yi was not thinking of overlooking this matter then you would have been a dead man walking…"

Ki Ting's sudden turn of speech stunned everyone on both sides as Min Hong began to pay more attention to where she was going with the conversation…

"Probably you don't know Ki Ting, but I have sworn a heavenly oath to kill these bastards or I die…" Bai Yi spoke through gritted teeth;

"Bai Yi!" Xiao Gui bellowed from up ahead as Bai Yi trembled in fear;

"I am sorry brother Gui, I made a grave mistake… Please forgive my insolence!" Bai Yi dropped to his knees as he pleaded;

"Ki Ting might not mind, but you know how strict the hierarchy of the core court is…

But because we have a much bigger fish to fry, we will sweep that under the rug…" Xiao Gui added;

"Take this!"

Xiao Gui flicked his wrists, as something shot towards Bai Yi in a blur, which he caught and when he opened his palm, the wind in the area went wild as the roar of a beast echoed from within the object in Bai Yi's hands which was the trapped soul of a wind spirit;

"Brother Gui that is-" Rin Chen tried to add but was stopped with a raise of a hand by Xiao Gui;

"But this was the treasure you obtained from the inheritance ground we stumbled across on our last mission outside the sect…"

"This is a bit too much!" Bai Yi spoke with trembling hands;

"Like I said, we have a much bigger fish to fry, so get at it!"

Xiao Gui's tone went a notch more aggressive as everyone watched Bai Yi sit cross-legged on the floor and shut his eye…

Ten seconds later, Bai Yi's cultivation began to stutter and fluctuate before everyone saw his nascent soul which was fiery red and then everyone saw the nascent soul open its eyes and the temperature of the are tripled over as the nascent soul snapped open its eyes causing a potent surge of blinding heat to spread out causing everyone to protect themselves…

Then a few seconds later, the nascent soul opened its mouth and spoke;

"I, Bai Yi, as of today have given up on my oath to have these retards killed…"

The moment the nascent soul said that, the sky turned eerily dark as black clouds gathered over the core court before a massive lightning with the girth of a mahogany tree descended on the Flame Nascent Soul;

Boom!

The Nascent Soul was blasted into streams of flames that billowed all over the place, but before the flames could touch anyone, Min Hong simply clenched his fist and the space around the nascent soul cracked open and all the flames were sent into the void, saving everyone from the blistering heat…

Cough! Cough!

Bai Yi coughed out two mouthfuls of his essence blood as not only did his cultivation drop from the 1 Star Nascent Soul stage back into the Dan Formation stage, he also seemed to age slightly as he grumbled;

"That is an entire 100 years of my future gone!" He yelled in both fury and loss;

"Quit whining, you are going to recover all that back the moment you form another nascent soul with the soul of the wind spirit in that orb…"

Ki Ting spoke nonchalantly as she turned to look at Xiao Gui with an appreciative gaze;

"Whatever happened here today shall be dropped and forgotten…" Gong Yi spoke with a tone that brood no argument before turning to Qing Tan;

"Out there in the world, there are many more things that are just as pretty, adorable and innocent, even more so, but most of them will kill you at any chance they get…"

"That empty apartment is a constant reminder of that…" Then he turned to Min Qing and continued;

"You should keep your emotions in check, if he hadn't help you lock Bai Yi's cultivation, you wouldn't have lasted two moves against him…"

"Actually I think the only person who would have been able to contain Bai Yi would have been him…"

"Bai Yi rarely fight because no one ever gets through his bugs and close enough to land an attack on him…"

It wasn't until Gong Yi spoke that everyone else realized that Bai Yi's insects had truly gone docile because he lost his connection to them, leaving all of them hovering on the same spot waiting for his command;

"Lastly…" Gong Yi turned to look at Min Hong who was still sitting atop Elder Yun;

"She could only blame herself for losing her guard enough to get bit by an insect…"

"What if she had been bitten by an insect that wasn't under Bai Yi's control?"

"Who would you have blamed then?" Gong Yi lectured…
