God-Slaying Blade

Qin Jue rubbed his forehead.

Chen Mingdao's skin is really thicker than usual.

"Since you admit defeat, then honor the bet," Qin Jue said, without directly responding to Chen Ming.

He would accept defeat, but if he won, there was no way he would become sworn brothers with those two.

Although these two seem decent, judging from their actions, their reputation in the Nine Provinces region is probably not very good.

Although Qin Jue is powerful, he is not invincible. Once he becomes sworn brothers with them, there is no guarantee that he will not be implicated in the future.

The Qin family's house was recently rebuilt, and it can't withstand any more storms.

Chen Mingdao knew that Qin Jue's refusal to respond meant he was rejecting him.

But he was thick-skinned and laughed it off, saying, "I understand why you're not answering. Being brothers is about the heart! We don't need to go through the formalities of sworn brotherhood; being brothers in our hearts is enough."

Qin Jue's lips twitched. This Chen Mingdao really was quite the enlightened one...

No wonder that punch didn't make him vomit blood; his skin is incredibly thick!

Su Dingye said irritably, "Fatty Chen, stop making a fool of yourself. Take out your storage rings, or you'll force them to kill you."

"Ridiculous, how could Third Brother possibly kill Second Brother! But since you've admitted defeat, the bet must be honored." Chen Mingdao snorted, then waved his hand, scattering a stack of storage rings on the ground.

"These were just received, I didn't keep a single one! Consider them a gift from your second brother!" Chen Mingdao grinned.

Qin Jue was already used to Chen Mingdao's shamelessness, so he just smiled and took all the storage rings.

Su Dingye also waved his hand, sending the storage rings he had collected flying to Qin Jue's front.

"The storage rings of the Feng family, Qinghe Sect, and Lingshan Sect are all here. I said I would keep my word today. You won, so all the storage rings are yours," Su Dingye said calmly.

There wasn't a trace of pain on his face.

Although today's harvest consisted of a pile of rings, it wasn't actually a large fortune for him and Chen Mingdao.

The two spiritual realms, through plundering along the way, have long been rolling in wealth...

Qin Jue laughed and said, "I'm currently short of resources, so I won't stand on ceremony. Although I won't become sworn brothers with you two, we can still be friends. In the future, when you visit the Qin family in Fengzhou City, I will definitely treat you well."

Chen Mingdao was taken aback: "The Qin family? Is it the Qin family that Qin Linfeng is from?"

Qin Jue's eyes widened slightly: "You know my grandfather?"

"Well, many years ago, I came to Fengzhou to beg for alms, and I did run into your grandfather once. He was alright!" Chen Mingdao chuckled dryly.

Qin Jue narrowed his eyes: "Many years ago, how many years ago?"

Chen Mingdao tilted his head and said, "If I count, it's been twelve years, hasn't it?"

Su Dingye sensed a change in Qin Jue's aura and said in a deep voice, "We didn't hurt anyone. We just borrowed 600,000 spirit stones from your grandfather. You were seven years old at the time, so you should remember. Your Qin family didn't suffer any major changes."

Qin Jue remembered that when he was young, the Qin family did indeed have a period of financial hardship...

But none of his family members told him the reason.

He only realized now that those two had "borrowed" it!

No wonder these two were quite familiar with the various sects and the Feng family in Fengzhou; it turns out they had visited Fengzhou once twelve years ago.

Qin Jue was very curious. How had these two managed to commit all sorts of evil deeds for twelve years without being killed?

Su Dingye felt a slight unease when he saw Qin Jue remain silent.

He thought for a moment, then reached out and took out a fist-sized, deep green bead.

"This is a spirit crystal, worth a million spirit stones each. You give it to your grandfather for us, and consider any extra as interest." Su Dingye tossed the spirit crystal to Qin Jue.

Qin Jue raised his hand and caught it.

He knew that spirit crystals not only contained abundant spiritual energy, but this energy was also purer than that contained in spirit stones. Cultivating with them would yield twice the results with half the effort.

However, such top-tier resources are generally controlled by truly powerful forces, and are rarely circulated outside the industry.

In Fengzhou, it's almost impossible to find.

"My grandfather is gone, but I will accept this spirit crystal on his behalf," Qin Jue said in a low voice.

Chen Mingdao was taken aback: "Your grandfather is gone? That's not right. Wasn't he a Grandmaster? Logically speaking, he should have lived to be over a hundred years old."

Qin Jue took a deep breath and looked at the two men with a slightly cold gaze, saying, "Gentlemen, I'd like to ask you something. Among the people you know, is there anyone who is seven feet tall, with a strong and imposing physique, and a cold and menacing face?"

Chen Mingdao smiled wryly and said, "Brother, your description is too abstract. Once you've met enough people like this, you'll find that there are quite a few of them."

"At least at the Grandmaster level," Qin Jue said.

"There are quite a few," Chen Mingdao said helplessly.

They traveled all over the country, and they encountered not only seven-foot-tall strong men, but even eight-foot-tall giants.

Su Dingye narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "There are indeed quite a few people who match the height and build, but their faces are cold and stern, filled with murderous intent. Are you perhaps looking for someone from the Black Shark Army?"

"Black Shark Army!" Qin Jue's expression darkened.

He knew about the Black Shark Army.

Leizhou borders Huapeng Kingdom, so the Black Shark Army is stationed on the border between Leizhou and Huapeng Kingdom year-round, under the command of King Li Wu Ran!

However, the Qin family and the Black Shark Army had never had any contact, let alone any grudges between them. Moreover, as a border defense force, why would the Black Shark Army attack the Qin family in Fengzhou from Leizhou?

Qin Jue couldn't understand it.

But Su Dingye's words gave him another way of thinking.

Now that he has entered the Spirit Realm, he can act freely in many things.

"You're looking for this person? Could it be that your grandfather was killed by him?" Su Dingye asked, his eyes flashing slightly.

Qin Jue said in a low voice, "Five years ago, this person not only killed my grandfather, but also led a group to wipe out my entire Qin family. Unfortunately, I still don't know who the murderer is, or why they wanted to exterminate my family. Therefore, I must find him. If you two hear any news about my Qin family in the future, I hope you will inform me. I, Qin Jue, will reward you handsomely!"

Su Dingye and Chen Mingdao's eyes widened slightly.

The Qin family was wiped out!

"Alright. I will let you know if there is any news!" Su Dingye said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

Chen Mingdao grinned and said, "Although we didn't become sworn brothers, we became friends through a fight. Just like you said, we can be friends! So we brothers will definitely keep your matter in mind."

"Thank you both!" Qin Jue said gratefully, clasping his hands in thanks.

"Haha, you can thank me when I have news. Right now, we should leave. We can't stay in one place for too long, lest some stinky rats come chasing after us, haha!" Chen Mingdao laughed.

"Farewell." Su Dingye said little, only clasped his hands in a fist salute, and then turned and flew away.

Chen Mingdao leaped after him, grinning as he asked, "Old Ghost Su, where are we going to borrow spirit stones next?"

Su Dingye narrowed his eyes slightly: "Let's go to Leizhou."

"Damn, you're not going to go find the Black Shark Army, are you? Wu Ran is not someone to be trifled with," Chen Mingdao exclaimed in surprise.

"We're just going to borrow some spirit stones and gather some information. We don't necessarily have to confront Wu Ran," Su Dingye said calmly.

"Tsk tsk, you really put a lot of thought into this," Chen Mingdao teased.

Su Dingye said in a deep voice, "He needs some useful information, and we need him to owe us a favor."
