I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

Liu Musheng learned everything that happened at Winter Night Rose that night from the insider and quickly led people to the Fu family.

Halfway there, he received news that Qin Ge was in this riverside courtyard.

After a moment's thought, Liu Musheng immediately decided to change direction and find Qin Ge first.

The person who hurt his son was Qin Ge, and the only person capable of killing his son would be Qin Ge, not Fu Xixue.

"If you're not calm, then I'll help you!"

Qin Ge remained motionless, circulating his spiritual energy within his body, gathering it at his fingertips, and then pointed out with a raised finger.

When the fingertips were still inches away from Liu Musheng's fist, a sharp crack rang out, and the unstoppable fist could not penetrate any further!

Liu Musheng felt an overwhelming force surge into his body through his fist, causing him to stagger backward uncontrollably, leaving several deep footprints on the ground.

"How is this possible!?" Liu Musheng was horrified. He intended to kill Qin Ge with his first strike, and his anger was at its peak, so he didn't hold back at all when he threw the punch!

His all-out attack was effortlessly neutralized by Qin Ge's seemingly ordinary finger strike!

What level of cultivation has this young man reached? Could he be a grandmaster?!

The group of people who accompanied him were also horrified.

"I know you're heartbroken and furious about your son's death, but what does that have to do with me!"

"Since you're just a pawn too, get lost!"

Qin Ge didn't care whether Liu Musheng lived or died; he simply didn't want to be used by others.

Do you think I can't do anything to you?

Liu Musheng took a deep breath, and his aura surged again, his eyes becoming even more bloodshot.

"This is..." Shen Yulan's eyes widened in disbelief. "You...you actually went so far as to burn your own life essence to forcibly increase your strength?!"

"careful!!"

Before she could finish speaking, Liu Musheng's fist came hurtling towards Qin Ge.

This punch embodied his life's cultivation.

"So eager to reunite with your son?" Qin Ge's pupils contracted slightly. "Fleeting glimpse, fleeting image, deep affection, tragic love!"

"Bang bang bang—"

In an instant, Qin Ge threw three punches, one of which landed on Liu Musheng's fist, twisting one of his arms into a pretzel shape.

The other two punches landed very close together, striking Liu Musheng's chest and dantian respectively.

Liu Musheng flew backward, his heels carving two furrows in the ground before finally crashing into the courtyard wall and coming to a stop.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, the color drained from his face rapidly, turning him deathly pale, and he aged more than ten years in an instant.

"you--!"

Liu Musheng sensed that the true energy within his body was rapidly dissipating, his eyes were empty, and his face was filled with despair.

His dantian was destroyed, and the once dignified expert of the Heavenly Realm was reduced to a useless cripple, even worse than an ordinary person!

"Master!"

When the Shadow Martial Hall members rushed over, Liu Musheng had already fainted.

Seeing their usually imposing leader now looking half-dead, everyone felt a surge of shock and disbelief.

Shen Yulan, standing behind Qin Ge, was also dumbfounded.

She didn't see Qin Ge sparring with her master Qiao Song. So, is the duel between masters really this simple and brutal?

The outcome was decided in the blink of an eye; someone with poor eyesight might not even be able to see what happened!

It wasn't what she thought; Qin Ge's strength was far superior to Liu Musheng's.

Hard power is enough to easily crush, there's no need for any fancy tricks!

"Since you're determined to kill me, then I can't let you live!"

Qin Ge strode toward Liu Musheng, her gaze icy.

The members of the Shadow Martial Hall stood frozen in place, like frightened sand chickens, staring blankly as Qin Ge walked over.

Shen Yulan shuddered and quickly stepped forward to grab Qin Ge, "You can't kill him!"

Qin Ge stopped and turned around. "No, whose side are you on?"

Do you know the saying, "If you don't pull the weeds out by the roots, they'll grow back in the spring breeze"?

"A slap will solve everything, so he won't cause me any more headaches later."

"Of course I'm on your side!" Shen Yulan could see that Liu Musheng was finished, and she sighed inwardly, realizing that a strong person had come to an end like this.

She knew that Liu Musheng was going to be ruined when he burned his own blood essence to forcibly increase his strength.

Even if Qin Ge hadn't destroyed his dantian, things wouldn't have been much better.

She had heard her master mention the method Liu Musheng used before; it could indeed greatly enhance one's strength in a short period of time, allowing one to surpass one's limits.

The effects are phenomenal, but the cost will inevitably be enormous.

After using this technique, one's martial arts level will rapidly decline, and one's vital energy will deplete.

Even young people would find it hard to bear, let alone Liu Musheng, an old man.

"But you really shouldn't kill him. Killing him will only make things more troublesome and give you more headaches!"

Shen Yulan is already starting to have a headache. Whether or not Liu Musheng is killed, this is a big deal.

The Shadow Martial Hall cannot stand idly by. Does Qin Ge intend to make an enemy of the entire Shadow Martial Hall?

If the head of the main hall, Han Beichen, finds out about this, he might personally confront Qin Ge to settle the score!

She had heard her master say that the head of the sect was a strict person, but he was also very protective of his own.

He can kill anyone from the Shadow Martial Hall with a single palm strike if they make a mistake, but he won't allow anyone else to do so!

Even so, Liu Musheng still cannot be killed.

There's a huge difference between crippling someone and killing them!

"Then let's not kill them!"

"I'll listen to you this time because you behaved well last night."

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

"Since we're not going to kill them, we can't stay here any longer."

Qin Ge agreed so readily that Shen Yulan was caught off guard.

After walking for a while after leaving the courtyard, Qin Ge rented a boat by the river.

He hadn't decided where to go yet, so he planned to drift on the river for now.

One important thing was that he wanted to see if it would feel any different on a ship.

The sound of the waves remains the same; it should be good.

"I never expected your strength to be this monstrous."

Shen Yulan looked at Qin Ge with eyes full of admiration, almost like she had stars in her eyes.

She had never been able to imagine how her master had lost to Qin Ge, but now she understood.

They even thought it was remarkable that their master could withstand Qin Ge's attacks without being seriously injured.

"It's because Liu Musheng is too weak; he's far inferior to your master."

"However, his method of instantly increasing his strength is quite interesting, like the evil sects in TV dramas."

"What did you mean by burning his essence blood? How does that work? Does he have an internal combustion engine inside him?"

As they chatted, the boat gradually moved away from the riverbank, and Qin Ge carried Shen Yulan into the cabin.

The Celestial Realm is too weak?

Shen Yulan really didn't know how these words were connected, but coming from Qin Ge's mouth, they didn't seem out of place.

"Here we go again... Do you even know that you just crippled a branch leader of the Shadow Martial Hall? A branch leader, huh? Isn't he even worth your concern?"

"If you're in need, then it's fine. I don't need to be, right?"

"..."

"I can relax, but you can't."

"You're getting more and more outrageous. If you relax, will you still have any fighting power?... By the way, what do you mean by saying Liu Musheng is also a pawn?"
