God-Slaying Blade

"Let me ask you another question. Within your Lingshan Sect, are there any Grandmasters who are seven feet tall and have a robust physique?" Qin Jue asked in a cold voice.

"Seven feet? Absolutely not! The remaining four Grandmasters in the sect are all over five feet tall, not even six feet!" Leng Fenghua said hurriedly.

Qin Jue glanced at Elder Lu and the others.

Elder Lu said in a deep voice, "The young sect master is not lying to you. A height of seven feet is rare. Moreover, as far as I know, there are no grandmasters in the entire Fengzhou region who are seven feet tall. There are two who are a little over six feet tall. One is Huo Taxing of the Xuan Yuan Sect, and the other is Feng Tianying, the master of Fengxia Manor."

Qin Jue's expression darkened.

If it's not the Lingshan Sect, then who is it?

Over the years, although he has no substantial evidence, his main suspect has been the Ling Shan Sect.

"Qin Jue, I have answered your questions honestly. Can I leave now?" Leng Fenghua asked tentatively, somewhat nervously.

Qin Jue said calmly, "You can leave, but you must leave everything you have with me."

Leng Fenghua glanced at the low-grade spirit sword in her hand with a pang of regret. This was a spirit weapon!

"Alright! Here you go!" Leng Fenghua placed the spirit sword in her hand on the ground.

"And the storage ring, and that low-grade treasure robe you're wearing," Qin Jue said indifferently.

Leng Fenghua's eyes widened in shock, and she said angrily, "Qin Jue, don't go too far..."

puff!

With a sweep of his blade, Qin Jue severed Leng Fenghua's head.

"I gave you a way out, but you were unwilling to part with these material possessions and squandered your chance to live," Qin Jue said indifferently.

Li Dongming and Xie Yunyuan stared in astonishment!

Elder Lu and the others looked bitter. They had already guessed that Qin Jue, with his ruthless nature, would not let a tiger return to the mountain.

Even though Leng Fenghua was terrified into a mouse, a mouse returning to the Lingshan Sect could still cause a lot of trouble.

Xie Yunyuan took a deep breath, looked up at Qin Jue, and said, "Before you kill me, could you please grant me one request, considering our past relationship?"

"explain."

Qin Jue didn't look at Xie Yunyuan, but instead used the God-Slaying Blade to wipe the blood off Leng Fenghua's body.

Xie Yunyuan said in a low voice, "The Xie family is no longer a threat to you. Can you spare the rest of the Xie family?"

Qin Jue said indifferently, "They are indeed no threat to me now, but I have a deep hatred for the Xie family. In the future, given the opportunity, they will most likely come to cause me trouble with others, just like they did today."

Xie Yunyuan bit her red lips and said, "No! They're already scared!"

The Xie family women who had come with them earlier had already fled beforehand, seeing that the situation at Lingshan Sect was not good.

Qin Jue did not chase after them.

Qin Jue finally raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yunyuan, saying, "And what about you? If I gave you a chance to take my life, would you kill me to avenge your father and brothers?"

Xie Yunyuan's eyes widened in shock as she stared blankly at Qin Jue, remaining silent for a long time.

To be honest, she didn't know.

Even though she knew that the main responsibility for the Xie family's current predicament lay with her father and brothers.

But they were her father and brothers after all!

If the opportunity were truly presented to her, she honestly didn't know if she would take the plunge!

Qin Jue said in a low voice, "If you want the Xie family to live, you'll stay here and keep an eye on them. If they retaliate again, I won't hesitate to act. But those women from today can no longer be spared."

Xie Yunyuan's eyes trembled: "You...you're not going to kill me?"

Qin Jue didn't respond, but instead instructed Li Dongming, "Go to the Xie family with Miss Xie. If those people return to the Xie family, kill them on sight! If they don't, issue a city-wide warrant for their arrest!"

"Yes, young master!" Li Dongming replied, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"You can leave now!" Qin Jue said, and walked towards Elder Lu and the others.

Today, he saw Xie Yunyuan's predicament and learned the real reason why Leng Fenghua took Xie Yunyuan as his concubine!

In truth, Xie Yunyuan was also implicated by him and suffered a lot of humiliation at Leng Fenghua's hands.

Therefore, Qin Jue did not want to make things too difficult for Xie Yunyuan.

"Qin Jue, if you spare my life and the Xie family's life today, all the past grievances will be forgotten!" Xie Yunyuan's choked voice came from behind Qin Jue.

"That would be best!" Qin Jue replied without turning around.

Even though he and Xie Yunyuan had a deep relationship back then, it's all in the past now.

The two of them can never go back to what they were before.

"Miss Xie, we should head to the Xie family now," Li Dongming urged with a smile.

Xie Yunyuan took a deep breath, said nothing, and walked towards the Xie family's direction.

Qin Jue walked up to Elder Lu, asked no more questions, and plunged a knife into Elder Lu's heart!

puff!

The knife tip was pulled out, and blood splattered everywhere!

The bloodthirsty energy within Elder Lu's body began to be frantically devoured into the God-Slaying Blade the moment the blade pierced his skin...

The other elders of the Lingshan Sect were shocked. Qin Jue hadn't even asked any questions before directly taking their lives!

"Qin Jue, I am willing..."

"There's no need for that!"

puff!

puff!

puff!

The remaining three survivors were all killed by Qin Jue, who pierced their hearts with his blade!

The nine-headed beast brought by the Lingshan Sect remained lying prostrate in place, trembling, because of the white wolf's intimidation. They dared not escape, nor dared to fight back.

These strange beasts are just beginning to develop intelligence. Although they have some understanding of human nature and can be tamed, their demonic souls have not yet been formed, and they cannot establish a soul contract. Therefore, they are not yet completely under the control of their masters.

Most behaviors still follow instinct rather than command.

"Your original masters are all dead. If you still want to live, you can become my Qin family's pets. If you don't want to, that's fine too. Da Bai and I have always had good appetites. Although you are not small, we can finish you in a year or two. I promise I won't waste a single bit of you." Qin Jue said calmly while wiping the blood off the blade.

Black Tiger and the other strange beasts all raised their heads slightly in fear and looked at Qin Jue. Is this guy even speaking human language?

"roar!"

The white wolf's eyes flashed fiercely, and it suddenly roared.

The nine-headed beast was so frightened that it lay prostrate on the ground once more.

"Big White, take them into the manor. If they don't like it, just bite them to death," Qin Jue said with a faint smile.

The white wolf withdrew its imposing manner and coldly glanced at the black tiger and other strange beasts.

These strange beasts all approached the white wolf, behaving as docilely as a group of underlings.

The white wolf walked towards the Qin residence, and the strange beasts followed it in.

Ordinary wild animals, when frightened, would run around in panic like horses. But a strange beast that has just begun to develop intelligence is like a five or six-year-old child. Under the pressure of fear, it dares not move at all.

Qin Jue then began cleaning up the battlefield.

These elders of the Lingshan Sect are all easy targets...

After picking up the ring and the fallen weapon, Qin Jue summoned Hong Tiehu and the others to clean up the bloodstains in front of the mansion.

At this moment, everyone in Fengzhou City, including the City Lord's Mansion, felt their hearts tremble...

This time, the shock Qin Jue brought them was so great that they could not calm down for a long time!

"He...he actually killed all those people from the Lingshan Sect! He didn't even spare Leng Fenghua! Tell me, is there anyone in Fengzhou that he wouldn't dare to kill?" In the study of the City Lord's Mansion, even though Ling Tianxiao tried his best to remain calm, his voice was still trembling slightly.

Sima Xiang and Ling Heng still looked shaken.

"Father, this Qin Jue is too strong and too crazy! My advice is that we should offend Fengxia Manor rather than provoke Qin Jue! Offending Fengxia Manor will only cause some trouble at most, but if we provoke Qin Jue, we may very well... never see the sun rise again!" Ling Heng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
