I can only beat noobs.

Chapter 75 Even you can misjudge things sometimes.
Seeing that a fight was about to break out, the crowd of onlookers immediately scattered.

It's a spectacle not to be missed, but once these martial artists start fighting, you should run as far away as possible.

"Sun Shicai!"

Suddenly, another voice rang out. This time, it was a woman's.

Sun Shicai turned his head and was startled. "It's you?"

He understood everything at once.

No wonder Huo Qianqian and the others dared to make things difficult for me, no wonder Yu Xiuming gave up on me, no wonder...

I didn't lose unjustly!

This direct disciple of the Xiaoshui Sect was not only extremely skilled in swordsmanship, but also adept at social interaction and had a wide circle of friends. Countless young men from prominent families surrounded her and fawned over her.

He is by no means a simple person.

He never imagined that she was the mastermind behind everything!
"why?"

Sun Shicai's eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a wounded beast-like roar, "I have never offended you. Why did you do this to me?"

If it were just Zhang Mingyu and Chen Ming, he could easily handle it.

But if there were another Xiao Zhuyun, making it one against three, he would surely be doomed today.

Xiao Zhuyun said coldly, "You only have yourself to blame for taking what you shouldn't have. Uncle Huo always carries the relics of Uncle Tang from our sect, which contain the sect's inheritance."

Sun Shicai was stunned and exclaimed, "You mean... that book, 'Three Yin Body Forging Technique'?"

Xiao Zhuyun said, "That's right, it is indeed in your hands."

For a moment, Sun Shicai felt inexplicably grief-stricken. He had ended up like this because of a body-strengthening technique that was of no use to him.

He said with a resentful look, "Why didn't you say so earlier? I would have just returned it to you."

Xiao Zhuyun said, "It's not too late now. As long as you're willing to return it to me, I won't interfere in your feud anymore."

Sun Shicai grasped at a straw, "Is this really true?"

"nature."

"Alright, that manual is hidden in a secret compartment under my bed. You can go and find it yourself."

Xiao Zhuyun said coldly, "You'd better not lie to me, otherwise, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, our sect will hunt you down."

Sun Shicai swore a solemn oath: "If I utter a single falsehood, may I die a horrible death."

"it is good."

After Xiao Zhuyun finished speaking, she leaped to the rooftop and disappeared in a few bounds.

……

On the roof of a house next to the governor's mansion.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiyan, dressed in a light purple dress, suddenly snorted, "I saw through this woman's act a long time ago. She's really heartless, selfish, and ungrateful. She just left them like this."

Beside her stood a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old, fair-skinned and refined, holding an umbrella to shield Zhao Xiyan from the sun, and reminding her, "Sister, didn't you want to win over that guy named Chen Ming? He's in danger now, shouldn't you help him?"

"He actually got involved with that woman surnamed Xiao, he's courting death."

Zhao Xiyan suddenly said angrily, "Why are you holding an umbrella like that? The sun is shining on my face."

"Feel sorry."

Zhao Daxian quickly apologized and held the umbrella up straighter.

He whispered, "Sister, if he dies, your sword manual will have been wasted."

Zhao Xiyan said unhappily, "Do you think I don't know? However, we cannot interfere in this matter."

No matter what, Sun Shicai was a seventh-rank inspector of the Six Doors. The fact that his father merely dismissed him showed that this was a personal grudge, and the Six Doors would not interfere.

If she takes action, others will only assume it's her father's doing.

"Oh."

Zhao Daxian nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Zhao Xiyan looked at Chen Ming not far away, and her anger grew. How could he associate with a woman like Xiao Zhuyun? He deserved to die.

……

"Three Yin Body Forging?"

When Chen Ming heard the name of that technique, he was somewhat surprised. Why did the name sound so similar to the "Three Yang Body Forging" technique that he was practicing?

The thought only flashed through his mind for a moment. As soon as Xiao Zhuyun left, Sun Shicai made a sudden move, heading straight for him.

Burning winds and fierce silk!

His first move was a killing move from the Five Elements Sword Technique.

Before the blade even arrived, Chen Ming could already feel the intense killing intent rushing towards him.

He was unlike any of his previous opponents.

This is real combat.

Compared to that, the previous battles were just small skirmishes and friendly exchanges.

A surge of heroic spirit welled up in Chen Ming's heart, and goosebumps rose all over his body. He was so excited that his blood was boiling. He drew his long sword and unleashed a move called "Great Virtue Carries All Things".

when!
The two swords collided violently in mid-air. Chen Ming felt a numbness in his arm and took a step back, realizing that his opponent was much stronger than him.

It's not advisable to engage in a direct confrontation!

"impossible!"

On the other hand, Sun Shicai, despite his full-force strike, failed to knock the opponent's blade away, leaving him utterly shocked.

Didn't he just break through to the seventh rank a month ago?
Its strength was only slightly inferior to his own.

You should know that he was at the peak of the seventh rank, and his qi and blood had reached their peak.

It must be because of the cultivation technique he practices!

"Old ghost, why are you so biased!"

He couldn't understand why Huo Chengkun wouldn't teach him such a divine skill and secret technique, but instead passed it on to the less talented Chen Ming.
"why?"

Sun Shicai was driven almost mad with jealousy. His eyes were bloodshot, and he attacked Chen Ming with increasingly swift and deadly strikes, his killing intent boiling to the extreme.

……

On the rooftop, Zhao Daxian looked at the precarious Chen Ming and warned, "Sister, if you don't intervene soon, he's really going to die."

Snapped!
Zhao Xiyan suddenly slapped him on the back of the head.

Zhao Daxian looked aggrieved. "Why did you hit me?"

Zhao Xiyan glanced at him sideways, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You just want to get me scolded by Father."

"No way?" Zhao Daxian lowered his head somewhat guiltily.

Zhao Xiyan ignored her scheming younger brother and focused on the battle below, saying, "This Sun Shicai truly lives up to his reputation as someone who fought his way up from the bottom. His swordsmanship is probably even better than Qin Jinlin's."

"Sister, you used to call him Brother Qin, why are you calling him by his first name now?"

Zhao Xiyan ignored him and continued, "Chen Ming's swordsmanship is quite good, but it's still a bit immature—wait?"

As she was speaking, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise, and saw a flash of blood below.

Chen Ming, who had been suppressed all along, actually broke Sun Shicai's sword technique with an extremely exquisite sword move, and even cut his shoulder. In an instant, the battle situation was turned around.

It was Chen Ming's turn to dominate Sun Shicai.

"this--"

She was stunned; it was completely unexpected.

Zhao Daxian exclaimed, "Sister, even you can be wrong sometimes!"

……

impossible!
Sun Shicai's body was half-covered in blood. He held a knife in one hand and struggled to defend against Chen Ming's familiar yet unfamiliar swordsmanship. He looked disheveled and had lost all his previous valor.

He let out a mournful roar, "This is not the Five Elements Sword Technique at all... Huo Chengkun, how can you be so biased... I refuse to accept this!"

Chi!
A flash of blood appeared, and his arm holding the knife was severed at the elbow, causing blood to gush out.

The next moment, a knife pierced his chest.

He gripped the back of the knife tightly with his only remaining hand, his eyes wide with rage, his mouth agape, gushing out large amounts of bloody foam, as if he were saying something.

Chen Ming looked at him coldly and said, "If you have any last words, tell Old Huo when you get to the afterlife."

He pulled out the knife.

Sun Shicai immediately died, falling to the ground with his eyes wide open in death.

You have killed a level 39 enemy and gained 5000 experience points.

It's a whopping 5,000 points!

Chen Ming was taken aback when he saw the number on the prompt.

So, killing an enemy and defeating an enemy give different experience points.

……

Zhang Mingyu, who had been watching over Chen Ming the whole time, saw that Sun Shicai was finally dead. His eyes reddened as he stepped forward, drew his knife, and cut off Sun Shicai's head.

Then they placed the severed head in front of Huo Chengkun and his fellow disciples' memorial tablets.

He fell to his knees with a thud, weeping bitterly, "Master, Eldest Brother, Second Sister, Fifth Brother. That scoundrel Sun Shicai has been beheaded. You can rest in peace now!"

Huo Qianqian and the dozen or so disciples also knelt down and cried.

Only Chen Ming remained standing. Since he wasn't Huo Chengkun's disciple, he naturally didn't need to kneel.

He couldn't help but think of his fifth senior brother Hong Mingquan's orphaned son, Hong Zilin. If that kid knew that his father's killer was dead, he would probably be very gratified.

Then, he sighed a little.

In fact, he and Sun Shicai had no real grudges or conflicts. The reason they had gone to such a deadly point was that Sun Shicai mistakenly believed that Huo Chengkun had handed over the sect's inheritance to him.

He suddenly realized what it meant to be caught in the web of life and not be in control of one's own destiny.

Even if you don't cause trouble, sometimes trouble will come knocking on your door, and you can't avoid it.
