Chapter 3: The First Kill After Reincarnating

The night in the Ghostly Mountains slowly left a trace of silence after the fierce battle in the valley. After the storm of blood and energy that shook the world, Bai Xieye—who had now stepped on the path to immortality with the strength of the Qi Transformation Realm – Late Stage—felt that he had obtained what he wanted. With a face unaffected by fatigue, he closed his eyes for a moment, took a deep breath, and decided to leave the battlefield. His steps were light, like a shadow that flashed without any burden, as if the world behind him had become meaningless.

However, fate never gave a smooth path to a vengeful soul. In a quiet alley at the edge of the forest, a group of five disciples from the Shattered Moon Sect—who were only at the Qi Transformation Realm – Early Stage—had been slyly spying on his movements. They, with a burning ambition to gain their master's praise, planned a surprise attack. The five disciples were:

Li Jun

Chen Feng

Wu Kai

Zhao Lei

Lin Hao

Unexpectedly, amidst the dimness of the forest, a chorus of shouts erupted from behind the leaves:

Li Jun (with a voice full of passion and determination):

"He's here! Quick, we must catch him!"

Chen Feng (replied in an echoing tone):

"Don't let him escape! This is the time to prove the greatness of the Shattered Moon Sect!"

The disciples' eyes gleamed with blinding ambition. They formed an attack formation, looking as if they thought that the targets they were leading were little children that they could easily take down. However, they had no idea that Bai Xieye had now evolved into a figure far beyond their capabilities.

As Bai Xieye walked along the dim path, the night wind carried a cold whisper that seemed to warn that death was approaching for those who dared to approach him. Without giving the enemy a chance to coordinate, Bai Xieye had responded to the attack with his two signature deadly techniques.

In an instant, as the first attack approached, he stepped aside with a shadow-like movement—a movement so subtle that it was only visible for a moment to the discerning eye. Gathering all the remaining strength within him, he unleashed his first technique:

Bai Xieye (in a cold voice full of menace):

"Skyfall Blades!"

The night sky instantly became a pitch-black battlefield. Thousands of shadow blades, gleaming like shattered pieces of moonlight, rained down from the sky. Each blade swung with deadly precision, shooting towards the targets in the darkness. Li Jun, who was at the forefront, only had time to scream in terror before the shadow blades sliced through his body. His body fell to the ground, blood gushing out profusely, wetting the leaves and soil that were now drenched in death.

However, the Shattered Moon Sect disciples did not immediately retreat. With the last bit of courage left in them, Wu Kai shouted in a trembling voice, mustering the last of his will:

Wu Kai (in a fiery voice):

"We will not let you escape! For the honor of the Shattered Moon Sect, we must kill him!"

However, Bai Xieye had activated his second technique—the Phantom Dash technique—which allowed him to move as fast as lightning. In an instant, his figure blurred like black smoke, leaving a faint trail that quickly disappeared. As the eyes of the disciples tried to find his trail, Bai Xieye suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Lei, right in front of his cornered target. Without mercy, his right hand, now glowing with the aura of death, stabbed out with unimaginable speed and accuracy. Zhao Lei only had time to scream before his body was thrown to the ground, shattered in one brutal attack.

One by one, each of the remaining disciples felt the bitter reality that they were in the hands of someone far stronger. Chen Feng and Lin Hao, who had tried to work together to launch a final attack, failed to anticipate Bai Xieye's speed. As they looked at each other in confusion, Bai Xieye quickly gathered energy again and unleashed the Skyfall Blades in a second attack. Thousands of blades slashed out in fury, stabbing Chen Feng until his entire body cracked, blood flowing like a red river, while Lin Hao could only scream in pain before his body collapsed.

In a matter of minutes that felt like eternity to them, the five disciples were crushed under Bai Xieye's cruelty. Every attack he unleashed was filled with horror—not only destroying their bodies, but also eroding their souls. The splattering blood and lifeless corpses bore silent witness to the power of someone who had surpassed all limitations.

Cultivation Level Comparison in This Battle:

Bai Xieye: Qi Transformation Realm – Late Stage

The Five Disciples of the Shattered Moon Sect (Li Jun, Chen Feng, Wu Kai, Zhao Lei, Lin Hao): Qi Transformation Realm – Early Stage

The stark inequality made the fight feel extremely unfair. Bai Xieye, ruthlessly and mercilessly, proved that anyone who tried to stand in his way would end up as bloody debris.

After making sure that there were no more threats left, Bai Xieye took a deep breath. He did not look back—every step he took carried the promise of a more formidable rise. He left the small forest still filled with the remains of bloodshed, and walked steadily towards his family home, the Shen family.

After traveling a path filled with suffering and blood, Bai Xieye finally arrived at the majestic gates of the Shen family home. The grand building that had always been a symbol of arrogance and oppression now looked silent, as if welcoming the return of someone who had once been underestimated. Every dusty hallway and cracked wall held a dark story of past humiliation and suffering.

Inside the house, the servants known by names like Steward Zhang, Steward Liu, and Steward Wu had always regarded Bai Xieye as a disgrace, a useless creature. When Bai Xieye entered his private room—the room he had been forced to leave—he did not make a scene. With slow steps and an expressionless face, he laid himself down on the rickety bed that had long been a remnant of the Shen family's luxury.

The exhaustion from the brutal battle and the cultivation process in the cave had drained all his energy. Without the will to rise, Bai Xieye fell into a deep sleep, as if trying to hide the remnants of pain and hatred that continued to burn in his soul.

Not long after, as the sun began to illuminate the backyard with soft rays, the atmosphere in the Shen family residence changed drastically. The servants, led by Steward Zhang with a loud and angry voice, gathered to start the day with the same tasks as usual. However, that day, their dissatisfaction erupted even more:

Steward Zhang (in a harsh and emotional tone):

"Get up, you! Today, you have to help feed the horses and clean the stables for no reason!"

Steward Liu (with a piercing sneer):

"Look at you! You are just the trash you always thought was useless! Do your job or suffer torture!"

Steward Wu (retorting with disdain):

"You are nothing more than a burden! Perhaps today, your shortcomings will be clearly visible among the piles of work!"

Bai Xieye, who was still lying weakly in the corner of the room, did not have time to fully realize the sudden commotion. However, soon the sound of rough blows could be heard infiltrating his sleep. The servants, who had long harbored a grudge against him, began to beat his body mercilessly. Each blow felt like a crushing hammer, and their insults poured down like a waterfall, making him even more depressed.

In the midst of the suffering, as his body was torn apart by the blows and insults, Bai Xieye in a semi-conscious state began to gather the last of his strength and anger. In the silence that enveloped the room, even though no sound came from his mouth for a long time, his mind was roaring with evil plans. Every blow he received, every insult he threw, was fuel for his burning determination for revenge.

With half-closed eyes and a voice full of menace in his heart, he whispered in the silence:

Bai Xieye (in his heart, with a tone full of menace):

"Shen family, you do not know that every suffering I experience is a stepping stone towards your destruction. I will rise and build an unstoppable force. One day, the entire system you have built will collapse, and I will carve out revenge with a fire that engulfs your entire soul."

While listening to the rough voices of the servants who were still noisy, Bai Xieye closed his eyes again, as if surrendering himself to sleep for a while. However, behind the calmness of his passive face, the secret plan to destroy the Shen family had been firmly planted. He knew that one day, the power of his revenge would explode, and the world that had oppressed him would know the meaning of destruction.

That evening, while the servants—Steward Zhang, Steward Liu, and Steward Wu—were busy with the endless daily tasks of feeding the horses and cleaning the stables, none of them realized that beneath the frail face of a young man, lurked the fire of revenge. Bai Xieye lay in a small, dark room, wounds accompanying his every breath, but his spirit and determination were growing stronger.

With every resounding heartbeat, Bai Xieye approached the point where the past and the future would collide. In the silence, he raised his hand slowly, feeling the pulse of energy that was reviving, and in a hoarse yet menacing voice, he whispered in his heart:

Bai Xieye (in his heart, with a resounding threat):

"Shen family, your time is not over yet. I will build an unstoppable force, and one day, your destruction will be my revenge. This is the beginning of a new era, where I am no longer a shadow to be despised, but a force that will shake the entire world!"

Behind the dark curtains of the room, the seeds of destruction had been neatly planted. Those who had once bullied, belittled, and insulted Bai Xieye, would never have expected that the long-overdue fire of vengeance would soon ignite, burning down the entire system that oppressed him.

In the silence of the night, amidst the shadows that covered the entire old wall, Bai Xieye fell asleep in a calculating sleep and dreams of revenge. The night wind continued to whisper, carrying a message from nature that one day, destruction would come to all who had ever rejected true power.

Every second of suffering that Bai Xieye endured had carved a path to eternity and destruction for his family. Although his body was badly injured, his soul and determination had hardened like steel. With his plan for revenge increasingly mature, he swore that one day, the entire Shen family and all those who had ever insulted him would taste the bitterness of the fire of retribution.

In this cruel world of cultivation, only strength determined who would survive and who would be destroyed. And for Bai Xieye, destruction came as the first step to carvin

g out his new destiny—a destiny that would make the entire world bow to his eternity and revenge.
