God-Slaying Blade

"My bride, Duanmu Li, earnestly begs Mr. Qin Qi to lend a helping hand!"

Outside Tianlin City, in the Hidden Beauty Mountain.

A beautiful woman dressed in a bright red wedding gown knelt anxiously outside a cabin in the woods, kowtowing and pleading.

"Since you've found this place, you should know my rules," came the man's indifferent voice from inside the wooden house.

The person inside the room was none other than Qin Qi, the ruthless man who had struck fear into the hearts of Tianlin City and several surrounding cities over the past two years!

But Duanmu Li knew that this ruthless man was her only savior at this moment!

"I know all of your rules, sir!"

Upon receiving a response, Duanmu Li's previously flustered face lit up with surprise.

As she looked up, she suddenly swung her right hand.

Boom boom boom boom—

As sixteen beams of golden light shot out, sixteen golden boxes landed with a thud in front of the wooden house.

She knew Qin Qi's rules: one was to only save those who deserved to be saved, and the other was to only kill those who deserved to be killed!

In either case, the person making the request must pay a high reward.

"I was supposed to get married today, but half an hour ago, I suddenly learned that my husband's family intends to send me to be defiled by another man on our wedding night in exchange for his future! I cannot bear this humiliation, so I ran away from my husband's house and came to seek your help! I have 160,000 spirit stones here, just to ask you for two things!"

As Duanmu Li spoke, her eyes shimmered with tears, revealing grievances and resentment.

Inside the room, a cold and aloof young man sat cross-legged, his eyebrows slightly raised.

On her wedding day, she was to be given away to someone else by her own husband—this was the first time he had ever heard of such a bizarre thing.

"Sixteen thousand spirit stones, that's quite generous. Tell me your two requests!" Qin Qi said, his eyes flashing slightly.

Under normal circumstances, his reward for each job is 10,000 spirit stones.

For many people, 10,000 spirit stones is an astronomical price!

Duanmu Li offered 160,000 spirit stones in one go. As long as what he said was true, Qin Qi would naturally not refuse this windfall.

The path of martial arts is arduous, and without ample resources to support it, the path of cultivation is even more difficult.

Two years ago, after leaving the deep mountains, Qin Qi looked down on the meager earnings from guarding homes and started taking on the job of taking people's spirit stones and relieving their misfortunes.

Duanmu Li choked out, "First, I want to ask Mr. Qin Qi to help me obtain the divorce papers so I can get rid of the Dongfang family! Second, Dongfang Jin is heartless and ruthless, worse than a beast. I want to ask Mr. Qin Qi to kill him for me after you help me obtain the divorce papers!"

Qin Qi said calmly, "If what you say is true, I will grant your request."

As long as he doesn't cross any moral boundaries, Qin Qi prefers killing to saving people.

He only received one reward for saving lives.

But by killing, he can gain three rewards!

Duanmu Li said excitedly, "Sir, rest assured, everything I have said is true, and I would never dare to lie to you in the slightest!"

Squeak.

The wooden house opens.

A tall, young figure came into Duanmu Li's view.

Duanmu Li's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

She had long heard that this Mr. Qin Qi was a young man with a cold face and extremely strong combat power, but she did not expect that Qin Qi was about the same age as her, only eighteen or nineteen years old.

When Duanmu Li looked at Qin Qi, Qin Qi was also sizing up Duanmu Li, who was kneeling on the ground.

Wearing a bright red wedding dress, this already beautiful woman became even more radiant.

The tear stains on her face did not make her look disheveled; instead, they made her look pitiful and endearing.

"Such a beauty, and Dongfang Jin actually gave her away to someone else to be defiled. He's truly worse than an animal," Qin Qi thought to himself.

"Get up. You are my employer. There's no need for you to kneel before me," Qin Qi said with a light laugh.

Just as Duanmu Li was about to get up, a rustling sound suddenly came from the mountain forest behind him.

A furious shout followed, "Duanmu Li, you shameless woman! Not only did you elope, but you also dared to empty the Dongfang family's treasury! You truly deserve to die!"

Swish!

As the sound faded, two figures swept through the mountains and forests.

One of the men, a middle-aged man with an angry expression, was also dressed in a bright red wedding robe. The harsh shout just now came from him.

The other person was an elderly man in his sixties, dressed in a gray robe. He appeared thin, but his eyes shone with a shrewd light, suggesting that he possessed considerable cultivation.

Seeing the two catch up, Duanmu Li turned pale and quickly got up to hide next to Qin Qi.

"Mr. Qin Qi, this man is Dongfang Jin! The old man beside him should be the one Dongfang Jin wants to curry favor with! I didn't expect him to be such a decrepit old man!" Duanmu Li said through gritted teeth.

The gray-robed old man's expression darkened. This wretched woman from the Dongfang family dared to call him a decrepit old man...

"So you're Qin Qi!" Dongfang Jin's eyes widened in shock, then he glanced at the sixteen golden boxes on the ground and laughed angrily, "You despicable woman! So you emptied the treasury to hire Qin Qi to kill your husband! I underestimated you!"

Duanmu Li bit her red lips and said, "Dongfang Jin, if you don't want to die, hurry up and divorce me!"

Although she desperately wanted Dongfang Jin dead, she needed to get the divorce papers first.

Otherwise, she would have to bear the identity of Dongfang Jin's wife for the rest of her life.

"Hahaha, you want a divorce? Fine! As long as you obediently come back with me, after tonight, I'll give you a divorce agreement first thing tomorrow morning!" Dongfang Jin said with a sinister smile.

If it weren't for the old man beside him having a peculiar hobby, he would never have married Duanmu Li.

Although Duanmu Li is extremely beautiful, she is just an orphan from a declining family. She's only good for playing around; she's not worthy of entering the Dongfang family.

Qin Qi watched coldly, then suddenly waved his hand, opening all sixteen boxes.

Each box contained round, cyan beads that emitted a faint, cyan glow.

These cyan beads, called spirit stones, are a universal high-level currency throughout the entire Tianwu Continent, and are also a resource needed by martial arts practitioners.

"I have enough spirit stones. Now it's my turn to work." Qin Qi smiled faintly at Duanmu Li, and with Dongfang Jin's dark expression, he waved his hand and put all sixteen golden boxes into a storage ring on his finger.

"Qin Qi, others may fear you, but I, Dongfang Jin, am not! You'd better hand over the spirit stones and Duanmu Li! Otherwise, today will be your death day!" Dongfang Jin said through gritted teeth.

Qin Qi looked at Dongfang Jin indifferently and said coldly, "I should be the one advising you to be sensible and obediently write her a divorce agreement."

Dongfang Jin said that he would give her the divorce papers after tonight. Upon hearing this, Qin Qi knew that Duanmu Li was not lying.

This beastly Dongfang Jin really intends to give his new wife away to someone else to play with.

Such a person deserves to die!

"Hehehe..." Dongfang Jin laughed angrily, "Qin Qi, do you think you're invincible just because you've killed a few Grandmasters? Do you even know who this person next to me is!"

Qin Qi didn't even glance at the old man beside Dongfang Jin, and said coldly, "You talk too much nonsense! Since you refuse to write, I'll just have to beat you until you do."

Swish!

Suddenly, Duanmu Li felt a gust of wind beside her, and Qin Qi's figure had already rushed in front of Dongfang Jin!

"Elder Cao, save me..."

"what……"

Before Dongfang Jin could finish his cry for help, a powerful punch had already struck his chest.

Amidst screams, Dongfang Jin was sent flying like a meteor, crashing heavily into a tree in the woods behind him.

Click.

The tree snapped, and Dongfang Jin flew over the broken wood, landing with several screams.

"You arrogant brat, how dare you injure someone in front of me!"

The old man beside Dongfang Jin, his expression furious, suddenly raised his palm and slammed it towards Qin Qi!

Qin Qi's eyes turned cold, and he twisted his body, throwing a punch at the palm print that the old man was about to unleash!

boom!

The moment the fist and palm collided, a thunderous sound erupted, and the powerful shockwave forced both of them to take two steps back.

The old man's eyes darkened. He was already surprised by Qin Qi's speed just now, but he didn't expect that Qin Qi's punching power was no weaker than his own!

"I had no idea that such a young Grandmaster as you had appeared in Fengzhou! Boy, who exactly are you!" The old man asked in a deep voice, his eyes filled with malice.

The name Qin Qi sounds like an alias.

At this moment, Qin Qi's eyes grew even colder as he looked at the old man and asked instead of answering, "Are you from the Spirit Mountain Sect?"

It seems that the only person with the surname Cao who has reached the Grandmaster realm is the Third Elder of the Lingshan Sect!

"That's right, I am Cao Yifeng, the Third Elder of the Lingshan Sect!" The old man sneered, raising his chin slightly with an arrogant expression.

Duanmu Li, standing in front of the wooden house, turned deathly pale in an instant!

Lingshan Sect, that's one of the four most powerful sects in Fengzhou!

"Mr. Qin Qi, you should leave. I accept my fate." Duanmu Li choked out, then suddenly took out a dagger and was about to stab it into his heart.
