Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

“Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has gone through four karmic connections and cultivated for countless eons. He has already perfected his merits and attained the qualifications to become a Buddha. Yet he made a great vow: ‘I will not become a Buddha until the hells are emptied.’”

After reciting these words from the classics, Xi Heng added, "As long as there are no evil people in the world, I will not stop killing them."

"..."

The white-browed monk remained silent for a moment, then clasped his hands together, bowed his head, and uttered "Amitabha."

“Compassionate Holy Maiden, so that’s how it is…” Master Yuanzhao took half a step back: “This old monk will take his leave now, and we will meet again if fate allows.”

After saying this, he gripped his staff again, tapped it on the ground, and turned to leave steadily amidst the ringing of the golden bell.

Only Xi Heng and the Black Ling Blade Master, whose body was already half severed, were left in this empty courtyard.

The girl blinked as she watched the other person's figure disappear into the courtyard.

"Leaving now?"

She thought that even after winning the argument, the other party would still be unwilling to accept defeat and would start a physical fight.

I thought I would have difficulty killing it, so my goal was simply to repel it.

Without even engaging in combat, the opponent abandoned the Black Blade Master and retreated...

A moment later, even the bald monk's presence could no longer be sensed.

"There's still a lot to do." Xi Heng came back to his senses and turned around first.

Looking at the Black Blade Master who was still on the ground, his internal energy was used to maintain his injuries and he could no longer move his body.

He gripped the sword in reverse, ready to strike.

During the journey, she recalled the scenes in the palace from her previous life and asked, "Are there any last words?"

After a few seconds of silence, the opponent suddenly pushed his hand and flipped his body upwards, ignoring the huge gash in his waist from which his internal organs were spilling out. He grabbed a dagger that gleamed with a cold light and exuded a chilling aura, and launched a final counterattack upwards.

However, this technique might work against ordinary martial arts practitioners, but against Xi Heng, who has excellent reflexes, it's simply hopeless.

She easily twisted to dodge, then raised her sword to slash open the enemy's wrist, severing the dagger he was holding and his entire right hand at the same time.

The thick, white fingers, now reduced to chunks of flesh, fell to the ground and were crushed under her foot with a series of cracking sounds.

At the same time, the blade rotated and pressed down, piercing into the heart.

When it was pulled out again, fresh blood gushed out almost boilingly.

The Black Blade Master could no longer circulate his internal energy. His body convulsed and he spat out blood, his mouth also spitting out bright red blood. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in reality, he had no breath left to sustain him.

After his heart was pierced, he convulsed for half a minute before finally losing consciousness, his pupils turning gray.

He's probably dead...

Xi Heng stayed where he was for a while, then stabbed his head with his sword again to make sure he wasn't faking death before he relaxed.

"Is this what revenge is?" she muttered to herself.

However, perhaps because the enemy was too weak, it felt a little bland.

"I didn't even use a few real killing moves; I just crushed them with pure brute force... I didn't get to fully enjoy myself." She shook her head, staring at the blood-stained blade in her hand:

"It would be more interesting if we could exchange a few more blows."

Looking around again, because the Liang family members here had escaped quite quickly, the ground was not covered with corpses and pools of blood like the previous families.

However, Xuezi had already chased after the fleeing people and probably left a bloodbath somewhere else as well.

Xi Heng turned his gaze to another, even larger family compound in the distance.

The white-browed monk had already been persuaded to leave by Xi Heng, and the Cai family should no longer have any martial arts experts protecting them, so she could kill them at will.

However, it's best to wait for the Blood Children to return first.

Xi Heng casually picked up a corpse on the ground and used its clothing to wipe the blood and brain matter off his sword.

Sheathed his sword and walked toward the still-steaming mahogany round table laden with delicacies.

Among all the precious ingredients, I picked up a small piece of osmanthus cake and put it in my mouth.

A moment later, the Blood Killer, covered in blood droplets, returned from outside the courtyard.

When they landed, the blades of their swords were still dripping blood.

"We still have three more to kill. Shall we take a break for now?"

Xi Heng pointed to the round table in front of him, on which was laid out fine clothes and delicacies comparable to those of royalty, costing an unknown amount of gold and silver.

"No need." The four leaders of the Blood Sons shook their heads and whispered, "We should finish this quickly."

Having said that, he led his men toward their next destination.

However, the petite member of the Blood Killers hesitated slightly in her steps.

Staring at the feast in the pavilion, he moved his throat slightly, as if swallowing saliva.

Xi Heng smiled slightly, picked up a piece of Poria cocos cake, took a bite, and then followed the Blood Children away from the central courtyard to continue slaughtering the other three families.

……

Afterwards, it ravaged the territories of the two powerful ministers' families and encountered no strong resistance.

At most, he was attacked by three masters of internal energy, and was only cut down by a blood wave sword aura unleashed by Xi Heng.

Because she had frequently encountered martial artists at the Transformation Realm in recent months, she mistakenly believed that such martial artists were not actually that rare, and that she might encounter one again tonight, so she was prepared.

But when they entered the families of the two treacherous officials, Cai and Wang, and realized that they couldn't find a powerful martial artist of sufficient strength to stop them in a short time, and would only be slaughtered at will, they realized that martial artists of sufficient strength were indeed rare in the world.

Even the most treacherous officials in the capital could only hire a mercenary-like Black Blade Master, and could not get the even more powerful White-Browed Monk to wholeheartedly assist them in the battle.

After beheading the deaf and blind former prime minister Cai Yuan, Xi Heng led the children to the last family, the Li family.

On the way, however, they encountered one of Chu Xiao's personal guards, who stood in front of them.

"How so?" she asked, tilting her head.

"Upon hearing of the princess's actions, Li Shimei went to see His Majesty, promising to offer all his wealth and assist in the search and confiscation of other traitors, exhausting all resources and strength to ensure His Majesty's success, only asking to live." The other party said, "His Majesty then issued an edict that the Li family would not be killed."

"..." Xi Heng didn't expect this guy to be subdued so quickly, and clicked his tongue, "I should have killed him first."

However, now that the goal has been achieved, there's no need to go to any more trouble.

She wasn't a true demon or evil spirit who would feel excitement or joy from killing.

She killed people merely as a means to achieve her goals.

Now that the objective has been achieved, there is no need to deliberately kill any more.

……

The next morning, a notice was suddenly pasted onto the inner city's notice board, with black characters on white paper, every word clearly visible.

The text is filled with rebuke, but its main meaning is extremely simple:

The so-called Holy Maiden of the Dark Heavenly Sect slaughtered five elders and high-ranking officials in one night, causing a massacre in their territory and rivers of blood to flow. She must be executed, so a bounty was issued...

The hundreds of onlookers were speechless at first, but after a moment, a loud cheer came from somewhere.

……

Chapter 117, Gently Twisting and Slowly Gathering

On a clear autumn night, apart from the many faintly visible stars, only a bright moon, resembling a round jade plate, hangs prominently in the sky.

Only a few wisps of cloud remain in the sky, perhaps barely noticeable, giving a sense of clarity.

The autumn night wind was getting colder, making the mulberry trees in the courtyard where Xi Heng was rustling.

A withered yellow leaf slowly drifted down and landed on the blood-stained soil below.

The sky above was clear, but the area below, within the family compound, was quite murky.

Countless corpses, some intact and some mangled, lay scattered on the ground, thick, dark blood oozing from their wounds.

Blood pooled on the stone floor beneath him, rippled slightly as the autumn wind blew.

Bloodstained sleeves swayed, and sideburns gently brushed against Xi Heng's face.

"There shouldn't be any more, right?" The girl looked at the dozens of corpses scattered around her.

……

It should have ended much earlier.

She had dismissed the four Blood Child assassins who had accompanied her in today's events and was about to return to Qin Xie Alley and Hua Man Lou by the same route, not wanting to waste any more time and make use of the many corpses she had killed today.

Having wandered for so long tonight, I wonder how many more souls have perished under my sword.

If we concentrate the corpses and activate the spirit-absorbing technique to turn all those killed tonight into spiritual energy, we might be able to get a rough estimate.

But this is the capital city after all. The annihilation of five major families overnight is already shocking enough. If they were all turned into emaciated, bloodless corpses, it would probably cause panic among the people of the entire capital city and make them even more disgusted with the Dark Heavenly Sect.

She thought, "Then forget it."

However, tonight's events did not end as easily as she had hoped.

Under the moonlight, Xi Heng used his light-footed skills to return along the same route. As he passed the Liang family compound, which he had already slain once before, he heard a commotion coming from inside.

As you approach, you can see that some servants or stewards dressed in simple clothes have suddenly returned to the Liang family home and are crowding into the main house.

These people, like ants carrying food, gathered all sorts of valuables from the room and carried them away tightly.

Along the way, some people got into a big argument because they wanted the same item, and the fat butler next to them yelled at them:

"What's all the noise about! There's plenty of stuff. Instead of wasting time here, why not move more items? The more you move, the more money I'll give you!"

Then a gold and silver hairpin was placed at their feet, and only then did the servants stop their commotion and get back to their business.

"Move?" Xi Heng felt a renewed surge of murderous intent.

It should be called stealing, right?

After setting the tone, she immediately returned to the courtyard, drew her newly sheathed longsword, and easily beheaded several people around her.

Everyone, from the stewards to the servants, was filled with terror and fear upon seeing her again, the demon who had wiped out their entire family.

Before the fat butler could even utter a sound, many of the servants had already scattered and fled.

But Xi Heng would not allow it. He immediately pulled out his flying sword from behind and used a spirit stone to slash across its rough surface.

With a sudden burst of energy, the spirit stone unleashed a burst of flames, and the flying sword seemed to come alive as it chased after every fleeing mortal.

The speed of the flaming flying sword is even faster than that of a martial artist's light footwork, and ordinary servants and mortals around it cannot escape.

In just a short while, the fleeing man had been riddled with gruesome bloody holes.

People gradually stopped trying to escape and huddled together. The steward at the front had already knelt down and begged for mercy.

Xi Heng no longer wanted to kill tonight. Having witnessed enough bloodshed, he had no desire to raise his sword and strike. He simply said indifferently:

"Put your things down and then get out of here."

The servants hurriedly shouted "Yes!" and hastily dropped what they were carrying and ran away.

But when she saw that the men were still holding jade pendants and hairpins, she immediately used her flying sword to kill them.

Once everyone was gone and the surroundings were quiet again, she sheathed her two swords and relaxed.

"...It seems we still need to conduct an inspection."

Xi Heng then used his lightness skill to circle around the ancestral lands of the Zhu, Li, Wang, and Cai families, the major clans within the inner city.

In the end, it was discovered that only the survivors of the Liang family dared and had the ability to send the servants back to retrieve their valuables.

The other exterminated families remained silent.

Perhaps because most of the Liang family members were only being hunted down by the Blood Children, and she herself didn't actually participate in the slaughter, some escaped...

Xi Heng pondered silently, looking at the dozens of corpses scattered around him, letting the cool autumn wind blow through his hair.

After a short while, they heard the distant calls of the imperial guards and then continued to use their light footwork to escape.

……

In the quiet of the night, with no one around, the girl's toes touched the roof tiles, and she flew gracefully like a swallow.

Xi Heng finally left the inner city clan territory, which still reeked of blood, and returned to Qin Xie Long Alley.

The outside world was pitch black and silent, but in Qin Xie Alley, the nightlife was still going on.

Lanterns, hanging like strings of candied hawthorns, swayed gently on all sides. Xi Hengxing walked in the light, his red, chivalrous attire standing out.
