Infinite Slaughter System: I Kill, Therefore I Ascend!-Chapter 156: Crashing The Party! 1

Naturally, the festivities came to a screeching halt when Li Ling burst into the area, his aura unveiled right from the start as his seemingly affable expression barely concealed his killing intent inside. The moment he appeared, his eyes locked onto Bai Ruyi without fail and his scattered killing intent seemed to have a focus as it locked onto her sharply.

For that matter, Bai Ruyi froze in place, shivering internally as her face changed greatly. She could truly sense some sort of mortal danger to her, that if something didn’t change about this situation, Li Ling would well and truly kill her regardless of the Heavenly Oath!

Having the Core Disciple standing by her gave her no confidence; she didn’t even consider him fodder herself. The entire point of this was to test Li Ling’s boundaries and his bottom line, but it seemed the test had backfired!

Thinking rapidly, Bai Ruyi sent a voice transmission to Li Ling. "Hmph, it took you so long to get back here. I was almost about to be married off to one of these fools!"

Li Ling, who was about to take a step to unleash a massacre, paused and tilted his head with confusion and amusement. "Oh?"

Bai Ruyi maintained a casual demeanor as she sat, but her heart was thumping crazily. "Indeed. I did not organize any of this nonsense; they just did it themselves after I manipulated them a bit, and now they want to face off against you."

"Heh, then why did you manipulate them? What exactly did you tell them to make them glare at me like this?" Li Ling asked with a sneer as he folded his arms, making Bai Ruyi pause.

"Just a heavily edited version of how we met. It allowed me to blend in and seamlessly make use of the resources of the Holy City, but who knew your people were so out of control that a little bit of my charm was enough to make them crazy."

She quickly threw the blame away, completely wiping her hands off this group. She was determined to establish herself as much a spectator of these events as Li Ling, and even possibly, a victim.

Meanwhile, Li Ling maintained an amused yet cold smile as he scanned Bai Ruyi.

｢Name: Bai Ruyi

Status: Nervous, Insecure.

Age: 20/620

Slaughter Points Value: 200

Cultivation Base: Core Formation level 1 (40%) || Body Foundation Perfection (100%)

Cultivation Methods: Joyous Union Sutra || Refined Maiden Body Art

Remarks: The first wife of the future Slaughter God, Bai Ruyi’s favor and Qi luck surge higher day by day as you grow stronger. However, she is incredibly insecure about her current situation, knowing that you are the source of her success but not having any guarantee that you will take her along due to your ’enigmatic’ nature. As such, she aims to test you using various methods to draw a bead on your true thoughts and personality.｣

Li Ling raised an eyebrow and felt truly amused this time, because he finally understood why this woman did all this nonsense.

Indeed, the Infinite Slaughter System was right in stating that she was similar to him. If he were in her shoes, systemless and told that his chance of rising to the top lay with her instead, he would not feel comfortable nor secure.

After all, he was a tagalong, what value did he bring to the table? For cultivators who lived in the dog-eat-dog world, the emphasis of innate value was very stark and calculated from the moment of introduction.

Bai Ruyi knew that Li Ling was not enthralled by her or any part of her. He was not a slave to his desires, but he did not shirk them, and she just so happened to be his type, so he kept her around.

So what about the day Li Ling lost interest in her or severed his seven desires and six emotions? Her last bit of use would vanish at that moment, so her worries made sense.

"Li Ling!!"

A voice full of youthful energy and majesty called out, snapping Li Ling from his thoughts as he turned to face the so-called Core Disciple who stood near Bai Ruyi as if she had already become his property.

The fellow was a tall and well-built man, looking to be in his early adulthood, with waist-long black hair tied in three sections to keep it straight and sharp green eyes that scanned Li Ling with clear derision.

In his white and gold that was slightly more ornate than what Li Ling himself wore, the fellow did fit the bill of a ’superior’ to Li Ling, and this was buttressed when he released his fourth realm Blood Spirit manifesting and taking his form beside him.

Li Ling raised his eyebrows, because he knew about this special feature of the Blood Asura Descent at the Fourth Realm.

When it came to general knowledge, the Six Paths Demon Sect didn’t really try to hide anything, allowing disciples to get ready ahead of time, like a university encouraging students to read ahead by giving them a course manual.

At the Third Realm of body cultivation, which Li Ling would be activating soon, he would transform his Blood Aura into Blood Power, with a similar theory and enhancement akin to Dharma Power.

At the Fourth Realm, Blood Power transforms into Blood Spirit, gaining spirituality and partial sentience, with great power that could now affect the spirit of its foes.

Of course, it was not as powerful as a Nascent Soul in this regard. However, what made Blood Spirits very notable was that they had a unique feature of intimidation!

There was always this term ’flashing or unveiling one’s aura’ but that was just a careless emission of power or energy. If the other person became fearful, frozen, or even died, that was due to their own weakness.

It was akin to seeing a speeding car pass by in a flash while on the sidewalk and being scared to death by the sudden gust of wind.

The Fourth Realm intimidation, which all body cultivators regardless of their specific technique could utilize, was a direct utilization of aura to affect the mind and spirit of the target.

It was akin to the previous speeding car, but this time it was charging directly at you. In that situation, even if it pulled away at the last second, which was the purpose of intimidation since it was designed to weaken and not kill, it would be strange if you didn’t jump away.

This fellow was unabashedly unleashing his Blood Spirit at this time in preparation to use intimidation on Li Ling should he say anything awry, and his base aura alone caused everyone here to feel choked.

｢Name: Deng Long

Status: Confident, Disdainful.

Age: 128/1350

Slaughter Points Value: 10,500

Cultivation Base: Core Formation level 5 (97%) || Sarira early-stage (88%)

Cultivation Methods: Yang Burning Plunder || Blood Asura Descent

Remarks: Deng Long is a clanless cultivator in the Six Paths Demon Sect with lacking talents and will likely be eliminated from the ’disciple’ rank and pushed into the ’elder’ path soon, but is unwilling. He has begun cultivating a demonic method that allows him to reverse plunder the combined yin and yang from yin-sucking demoness, and has targeted Bai Ruyi due to her status as the Saintess of the Boundless Joy Sect.｣

Li Ling was left speechless as he glanced at Bai Ruyi, feeling that indeed, this woman was blessed with luck. If it wasn’t for the fact that he, Li Ling, was not magnanimous enough to be cucked, even as a joke, he would leave her to her fate and see how she would save herself.

"What is the meaning of this? I come back after fighting for the sect to find that you are coveting my wife? Do you think the sect rules are a joke?" Li Ling took the upper hand immediately, not wanting to waste too much time.

The faces of those here became ugly, because Li Ling was basically ’casting his ult’ in the first round of exchanges!

No matter their backing or bravado, the key to their confidence in doing this lay in the fact that Li Ling was a fellow demonic disciple and would likely demand a battle out of anger due to their collective flawed mentality.

It was like having beef with someone as an adult and going to point at their face and threaten them, telling them to watch their backs.

You expected the fellow to threaten you back, talk some big talk, ignore you, or even explode on the spot to throw fists, but not that he would call the police and take you to court for assault!

Buddy, why go so far for something small?!

Deng Long didn’t seem to care, his imperious expression curling upward into a sneer. "Go ahead and summon the Binding Blood Wing fellows, I haven’t broken any sect laws."

Li Ling frowned, because indeed, whether the fellow had interfered with his property was up to discretion. Some could argue that by organizing this banquet and aiming to solicit Li Ling to let go of Bai Ruyi, he had already interfered.

Others could also argue that he hadn’t done anything and merely interacting with Bai Ruyi positively could not be construed as seizure.

It seemed that for this, Li Ling would have to sort it out the good old-fashioned way!
