Kill Me More Times, I’ll Become Invincible

The sky was dark, and even though the rain was not heavy, it kept falling, unable to wash away the blood and mud on the battlefield.

The collapsed section of the city wall, the guards hurriedly brought bricks and stones to repair it, not caring about collecting the bodies.

Even though the Feather King Army had temporarily retreated, the guards remained highly vigilant. Soldiers filled the city gate towers and walls, keeping a close watch on the battlefield outside by the Sky Piercing River, afraid that the Feather King Army might suddenly launch an attack.

In fact, they paid little attention to Qiao Pian, who was going to meet someone outside the city alone. No one expected Qiao Pian to break the siege by himself. Therefore, they quickly repaired the city wall and prepared for the upcoming battle.

The Feather King Army was not as nervous. Feather King Qin Li had already established supreme prestige in the army with numerous victories, and no one believed he would lose.

Ignoring the officers, the soldiers treated this as just a temporary rest. After the Feather King avenged his enemies, using their blood and heads as offerings, they would launch a full attack on the city.

Amidst all the attention, Qing Li made a move.

"Qiao Pian! Surrender yourself!"

Suddenly, a loud bang.

The soldiers felt the ground shaking beneath their feet, and they saw cracks like a spider web forming where King Qin landed, then suddenly collapsing.

But Qiao Mu remained standing still.

Unknown to them, he had already taken out King Qin’s golden body and used it as a shield to block the spear aimed at his throat by Feather King. His feet were rooted in the crumbling ground like an old tree standing strong.

As the strongest half-demon, Feather King Qin Li possessed monstrous strength far beyond that of ordinary humans. Qiao Mu’s hands holding King Qin Sword trembled slightly, his skin cracking and bleeding.

Relying solely on physical strength, as a pure-blood human, Qiao Mu could hardly match the innate talents of the descendant of the divine bird lineage.

As a martial artist over seven hundred years old, why would he foolishly rely on brute strength?

However, Qiao Mu paid no attention to his injuries, remaining calm. He raised both arms, unleashing a pale translucent aura from within his body.

With a strong effort, he deflected the long spear in Feather King’s hand and asked in a deep voice:

"Feather King, Qing Li?"

"You said you wanted to kill me to avenge Xishan Village’s blood feud."

"But we are not strangers, you knew about ‘Birds Adoring the Phoenix Spear’ falling into my hands long ago."

"Are you really here for revenge? You don’t seem like such a foolish person."

"Blaming others and creating enmity over trivial matters, ending up fighting for life and death, this is a clichéd story that even Tide Listening Building storytellers are not fond of, are you serious?" ṙ𝖆NO͍ＢĘṥ

Although Qiao Mu and Qing Li were not close, they spent some time together in Taotie City and got to know each other somewhat.

"Why not?"

Qing Li didn’t respond, she only waved the long spear in her hand, every thrust aimed directly at Qiao Mu’s throat, the spear moving continuously like flowing water.

In the drizzling rain, two martial artists fought for their lives on the banks of Sky Piercing River.

Both of them were top martial artists with strength far beyond the limits of the human body, every clash of their weapons creating dazzling sparks and chilling dull sounds.

The ground cracked and sank, as the sharp whoosh of weapons cutting through the air sounded.

"This human martial artist can actually match the power of the Feather King in a fight?" After the battle, the witch Jade Carp was moved.

The strongest martial artist in the Southwest Province is Qing Li, who is a half-demon practicing human martial arts.

Below Qing Li, there are few superb rank martial artists in the entire Southwest Province, and their strength is far inferior to hers.

Ever since the debut of Demon Spear Qin Li as a "Disciple of the Spear Saint," he has been unbeatable, unmatched by anyone on earth, and not just boasting.

If there are any rivals for the half-demons or demon tribes in the world, it would probably be cultivators.

Surprisingly, the martial arts of the Qiao family from the Zhong Province were much stronger than Jade Carp expected and could even withstand the Spear of the Feather King.

"Birds Adoring the Phoenix Spear · Prairie Fire!"

Qing Li’s gaze was calm yet sharp. She leaped from the horse, soaring like a goose across the sky, the long spear in her hand piercing the air with a sharp whistle.

Qing Li practiced the move Prairie Fire every day for Qiao Mu back when she was in Taotie City.

At that time, it wasn’t a life-or-death fight or even a real practice, just a show of moves.

But this time was different.

With this spear, Qing Li moved gracefully like a swan, her long spear cutting through the air like a shooting star, its tip sparking with bright flames.

"It’s the Prairie Fire move of the Feather King…" Jade Carp looked at it with admiration, "the flaming long spear, like a firebird soaring through the sky."

"It’s not a move relying on inner strength, but purely on physical power, displaying this fiery martial art like a shooting star, is the Feather King aiming to end the battle with one strike?"

She only recently learned that the Feather King’s move was originally created by Spear Saint, a human martial artist known for inner strength, called "Birds Adoring the Phoenix Spear."

As a half-demon, Qing Li hadn’t developed inner strength, and her long spear wasn’t a special weapon, just a powerful strike delivered with great speed and force.

Qing Li moved like a fiery bird darting across the sky, her long spear tinged with red, leaving behind a trail of bright flames in the air.

Clang!

Qiao Mu lifted his King Qin Sword and tried to deflect the long spear, but was overpowered by Magnificent Mo’s immense strength. His feet skidded backwards, leaving a long trench in the ground.

His hands trembled violently, blood dripping from his split palm. Qiao Mu glanced down at the King Qin Sword in his hand, noticing how the King Qin Golden Body, made of Blazing Essence Gold, was being contorted under the tremendous force.

Qing Li didn’t stop there. Her shadow closely followed Qiao Mu as he staggered backwards, her spear attacking relentlessly like a storm.

"Qiao Pian," she waved her long spear and questioned,

"Why not use the Qiao family’s ancestral martial art, the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method?"

"Didn’t you say that the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method is part of your strength?"

"Since it’s a life-and-death battle, show me what you’re really capable of!"

"You really take nonsense seriously," Qiao Mu thought to himself, then said seriously,

"This battle seems unnecessary, it’s bothering me, why use the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method?"

"A member of the Qiao family can fight to the death, but they will not risk their life for trivial matters."

This statement is actually true.

Before, Qiao Mu used the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method in Yu Shan’s temporary hideout. The battle didn’t last long, so he only needed seven days of healing with the "Shape Changing Skill" to recover.

But if used again in a short time, it will lead to irreversible consequences, a dead end.

Feather King fell into a slight silence, then raised the spear in his hand and pointed towards the Linhe City behind him, as well as the dilapidated city walls.

"This battle is not a small matter, it concerns the safety of a city, the lives of tens of thousands of people, and even the war situation of the entire Southwest Province…. Is this reason enough?"

She said in a serious tone:

"If you are defeated, I will use your head as a sacrifice, then break through the city with my soldiers, plunder for three days, kill all the officials and wealthy residents in the city, and then move downstream along the Sky Piercing River, taking control of all the cities along the riverbank."

"Is this reason enough?"

Qiao Mu slightly furrowed his brow.

"Enough," he replied solemnly.

"However, forcing me to use the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method, do you want to have a fierce battle with me, or do you want… to perish at my hands?"

Qing Li’s face showed no expression changes, just a brief silence.

She gripped the spear in her hand, standing in front of Qiao Mu. The rain dripped along the spear’s shaft, falling into the muddy puddle at her feet.

They both stayed silent, a brief pause, only the sound of rain falling between heaven and earth.

"A member of the Qiao family can die, why can’t the Feather King?" Qing Li said coldly.

"In recent months, Southwest Province has been engulfed in war and bloodshed. To say that this turmoil is all because of me is too self-centered."@@novelbin@@

"This conflict began because of the Immortal Gate, but the Feather King is also to blame."

"Even though this wasn’t caused by me, it started with me, so it should end with me."

"So…" Qiao Mu nodded.

"Do you think that if you die, you can end this conflict? Isn’t that a bit naive?"

"Of course not," Qing Li chuckled.

"The mighty Feather King may seem powerful, undefeated in the region, but in reality, he’s just a pawn of the Immortal Gate."

"If the Feather King is out of the picture, Immortal Gate will find other ways to cause chaos."

"Ending this pointless fighting won’t be achieved by the Feather King’s death alone," Qing Li said, looking at the broken city walls and the countless bodies on the battlefield before turning her gaze back to Qiao Mu.

She didn’t say it out loud, but the meaning was clear.

After I die, a new king will be born on this land.

They will gather the remaining soldiers of the Feather King, rise up in the name of the new king, raise the banner of resistance against Great Yan and Yunxiao Sect, and continue to fight for the people of the world.

But all of these are false, all lies! All the death and injury are meaningless, no matter which king, the people behind the scenes are definitely from the Immortal Gate Yunxiao Sect!

This is the purpose of Qing Li’s planning in these days.

She is not simply seeking death, but wants to die at the hands of Qiao Mu as the Feather King blinded by blood feuds.

Using all the fame accumulated by the Feather King, becoming a stepping stone for Qiao Mu, creating a king-slaying hero!

After I die, a new king has not yet emerged on this land. But as long as there is a king-slaying hero, there is always a glimmer of hope in the hearts of the people.

The various plots of the past few days were only to build up to this, to sacrifice the life and reputation of the Feather King, and create a king-slaying hero.

The prestigious and endless Qiao family member is the best candidate for the Kingslayer.

The book "Birds Adoring the Phoenix Spear" has been obtained by Qiao Mu.

While in Taotie City, Qing Li spent many days learning and then passed on the unique skills of Spear Saint to Qiao Mu.

Being a half-demon, Qing Li’s body was different, and it was very difficult for her to develop internal strength using human martial arts.

Qiao Mu was different.

As one of the top martial artists in Jiu Province, Qiao Mu believed that obtaining "Birds Adoring the Phoenix Spear" would allow him to further advance his martial arts skills.

Compared to Qing Li, who had shed much blood, Qiao Mu was seen as a better successor to the Spear Saint legacy.

"It seems you are truly determined, I underestimated you," Qiao Mu furrowed his brows.

He sensed Qing Li’s unwavering determination, similar to that of Hai Wuya who entered the palace that day.

Qiao Mu pointed towards the distant, ruined city and said:

"Since ancient times, the victors are praised while the losers are condemned. Your reputation may be great now, but if you die in this city, you will be forever despised by the people, earning a lifetime of infamy."

"Before, in Taotie City, I asked Mr. Qiao about this," Qing Li calmly stated.

"As martial artists, we fight demons to earn the gratitude of the world and gain a heroic reputation, don’t we?"

She looked calm, showing minimal emotions. She listened attentively and then fully recounted Qiao Mu’s initial response in Taotie City.

"Let’s stop the chatter here." Qing Li, holding a long spear, continued her attack, her eyes growing more determined.

"I am different from Mr. Qiao of Taotie City."

"Mr. Qiao has not shed the innocent’s blood, like the leader of the Luo family. They didn’t die by his hands, but were controlled by the demons’ influence."

"And I am never like Mr. Qiao."

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The loud sound of rain hitting metal continuously, even drowning out the sound of the waves of the Sky Piercing River.

They were already fighting by the Sky Piercing River, now getting closer to the river, hearing the waves getting louder.

They didn’t stop their weapons while talking.

As Feather King Qin Li’s emotions grew stronger, her attacks became faster and more intense like a sudden rain, becoming faster and more intense, almost non-stop.

She clenched her teeth, feeling emotionally overwhelmed.

"Even though I didn’t want to serve Immortal Gate, I was forced to do it, and now I have become a pawn of Immortal Gate."

"Even if I try to restrain my soldiers, some may still die because of me."

"Even Sky Piercing River can’t wash away the blood and sins on my hands, so…."

Clang!

Qing Li used a spear as a stick, hitting Qiao Mu along with his sword, sweeping them both out.

"Next…"

Qing Li slightly lowered her head, the rain wetting her forehead and hair, falling down her cheeks.

In the next moment, when she lifted her head again, her face was expressionless, her eyes cold and staring straight at Qiao Mu:

"The best end for us martial artists is to die in battle. If Mr. Qiao still respects me, then please give it your all." In the light rain, Feather King held a long spear, looking directly at Qiao Mu with a solemn and determined expression, speaking in a deep voice:

"Mr. Qiao, please rid the people of harm and slay Feather King!"

Just then, lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a rumble of thunder echoing all around, the rain seeming to grow heavier.

Qiao Mu lifted the King Qin Sword in his hand, locking eyes with Qing Li in the rain for a long time.

"Since you are determined to die…" Qiao Mu lowered his eyelids, a surging energy bursting out from him in a blood-red color, his whole body seeming to boil with energy and blood:

"Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method!"
