My wife is a reborn big boss

Second on the Heavenly Ranking is He Jinxi, the "Madman".

Judging solely from his appearance, he is an ordinary-looking man in his thirties.

This "ordinary" doesn't mean Wu Qiong is so handsome that he's "ordinary," it just means ordinary in the literal sense.

He Jinxi looked at Zhou Di Bailu, who was lying on the ground half-dead, and said sarcastically, "How could a piece of trash like you be listed on the Heavenly Ranking? This Heavenly Ranking is really unreliable."

Bai Luo said bitterly, "Don't forget our promise! If I die, you'll never find out where the 'Sword Master' is hiding!"

It turns out that he had made a promise with He Jinxi. He Jinxi agreed to do something for him, and in return, he would use the power of the entire Zhou Dynasty to help He Jinxi find where the "Sword Master" was.

He Jinxi's eyes flickered slightly: "Oh? Then what do you want me to do for you?"

Just as Emperor Zhou was about to speak, He Jinxi interrupted him again:

"Remember, the only thing I agreed to with you was 'one thing'."

Emperor Zhou fell silent. He had originally wanted He Jinxi to help him kill Bai Xuanji and the others, but He Jinxi said it was just "one thing".

So handing over the Great Zhou to Bai Xuanji isn't necessarily a bad thing. As far as he is concerned, as long as the Great Zhou is strong, anything goes. It's just a pity that if the Great Zhou truly becomes strong, the person who leads the empire to that strength won't be him...

He made a decision: "Get me out of here."

"I refuse." He Jinxi said without hesitation.

"Huh?" Zhou Di had considered all sorts of possibilities, but he never expected that he would refuse.

He Jinxi glanced at the man and three women standing guard before her, and chuckled, "Do you think I'm stupid? If you run away, the Emperor of Great Zhou will be replaced. How will you keep your promise to me then? I'll just go directly to them. What use are you?"

"..." Emperor Zhou's mind raced.

He never expected that He Jinxi, the "madman" in the martial arts world who was said to only have fighting on his mind, was not a brainless fool.

It seems that rumors circulating in the martial arts world are ultimately unreliable.

That's complete nonsense. The most common martial artists in the world are those at the Body Tempering and Meridian Condensation stages. Those at the Acupoint Opening stage are already considered top experts. Those at the Great Perfection of the Acquired Realm are among the most outstanding young talents on the Human Ranking. Most of the big shots on the Earth Ranking are only at this level.

Among the tens of thousands of martial arts practitioners, only one can achieve the "unity of heaven and man". As for the innate realm, they are all elders of the top sects. The "Dao Fa Zi Ran" realm is only achieved by less than half of the top practitioners. They are all legendary immortals in the martial arts world.

So how could martial arts practitioners know the personality of someone like "Madman" He Jinxi? Most of them just guessed based on his nickname.

"Then help me kill them." Of course, it would be even better if I could continue to be the emperor.

"Living in a dream world." The answer remains an unwavering refusal.

"..." Emperor Zhou felt very uncomfortable: "Give me a reason."

He Jinxi pointed at Wu Qiong: "The successor of the 'Sword Master' is right here. Why don't I just ask him directly?"

That's right, he was actually observing the battles on both battlefields from the shadows.

Having finished speaking, he no longer looked at the dejected Emperor Bai Luo of Zhou, but turned to Wu Qiong and said, "How about we make a deal?"

Facing the legendary number two on the Heavenly Ranking, Wu Qiong remained unyielding: "Please give your orders, sir."

He Jinxi was quite pleased with his sensible behavior: "I can let you go, and I won't stop you from killing this piece of trash, but you have to take me to see the 'Sword Master,' how about it?"

Wu Qiong secretly grasped the princess's jade hand, which was poised to strike, with his left hand, and waved to the two girls who were radiating murderous intent towards his back with his right hand behind his back.

Then, looking troubled, he said, "This... I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

He Jinxi still wore a friendly smile, but her aura grew increasingly imposing: "Oh? What's inappropriate about it? Are you afraid I'll defeat the 'Sword Master'?"

"Uh...excuse me for asking," Wu Qiong said cautiously, "What realm are you at now, sir?"

He Jinxi smiled proudly: "To be honest, young brother, I have already touched the threshold of the 'Void Realm'. I believe that given some more time, the 'Void Realm' will no longer be a dream."

He was looking forward to seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of the four people in front of him.

But... none of the four reacted.

The three peerless women were all at the "Void Realm" in their previous lives, so it's hard to say they felt any surprise towards him, who had only just touched the "Void Realm".

Wu Qiong grew up by the side of "Sword Master" and recently, the girls who followed him every day were all formidable characters who were famous in the game in his previous life, so he didn't feel anything.

"..." Feeling bored after failing to put on a show, He Jinxi decided to cause trouble for the people in front of him. All three women were stunningly beautiful. Although he didn't feel anything for them, good looks are justice, so he turned his gaze to Wu Qiong.

Looking at Wu Qiong's handsome face, he said fiercely, "What's your problem, kid?!"

"No, no." Wu Qiong was suddenly shocked: "Wow! Boss, you're amazing!"

He Jinxi felt his intelligence had been insulted: "Enough nonsense! If you don't take me to find the 'Sword Master,' don't blame me for being impolite!"

His plan was quite good. If Wu Qiong took him to find the "Sword Master," he wouldn't bother the people in front of him. This meant he could achieve his goal without doing anything, which was a great relief.

Wu Qiong suddenly calmed down and said, "I'm sorry, I can't do that."

"Hmm?" He Jinxi frowned. "Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

"I'm afraid." Wu Qiong remained calm. "I cannot lead you to my master."

He Jinxi pondered, saying that he "could not" "find" it, rather than "did not want" to "find" it.

This means that he cannot lead himself to the "Sword Master".

Then there is only one possibility: after he completed his apprenticeship, the "Sword Master" drifted away without telling him where he went.

He Jinxi never imagined that the "Sword Master" was already dead.

In his mind, how could the "Sword Master," who was the best in the world and invincible, possibly die?

So now there's only one way to find the "Sword Master," and a murderous aura slowly emerged from his body.

[As long as I cripple this brat, given his master's vengeful nature, he'll surely come looking for me. I just need to wait and see.]

He said, "Well, there's nothing I can do, kid. I guess I'll just have to make you suffer a bit."

Wu Qiong sighed, then calmly released the princess's hand and placed his hand on the wooden sword at his waist.

It seems that's the only option left, but I don't know if my body can handle it.

Sword Two posed no threat to the number two on the Heavenly Ranking, so he planned to use that move... Sword Three.

Wu Qiong slowly closed his eyes, focusing his mind and energy.

He Jinxi smiled smugly and threw a punch that was devoid of any firepower.

The eldest princess suddenly appeared in front of Wu Qiong, unleashing her full power and striking out with a palm!

Without a sound, the princess flew back and landed beside Wu Qiong, her lips slightly stained with blood; she had been seriously injured...

Su Mubai and Li Jianshi stood in front of Wu Qiong without hesitation. Su Mubai was expressionless, and Li Jianshi was resolute. The two of them would never let anyone hurt Wu Qiong, even if the other party was He Jinxi, the "Madman" ranked second on the Heavenly Ranking... it was still not allowed!

He Jinxi's expression remained unchanged as he prepared to throw another punch.

Suddenly! A sword light several tens of feet long struck!

He Jinxi threw a punch to block, and although he dispersed the sword energy, he also took two steps back. His expression changed as he looked in the direction from which the sword light came!

Above the main hall of the imperial palace, a reclusive figure moved with graceful steps, stepping on the moonlight!
