I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 197 Killing the Dog for the Owner's Show

Chenli Kingdom, Mengding City.

Under the cover of night, Ye Qingzhou manipulated his combat puppet into this economically underdeveloped small city.

Compared to the Eastern Pole Kingdom, even the inland city of Linjiang, which is not economically developed, has a much higher level of economy and culture than this dilapidated place.

If Mengding's local economic development level were placed in the Eastern Kingdom, it would at most resemble a backward 17th or 18th-tier county town, with many buildings dating back to the last century and few high-rise buildings.

There were very few vehicles on the streets, and the pedestrians looked dejected. The whole city seemed to lack vitality and energy.

This area was once part of the territory ruled by the Eastern Extremity Kingdom in ancient times.

Unfortunately, this place has now become a barbaric land once again, with an area roughly equivalent to 0.6 times the size of TL City, but a population of only over 60.

However, although there are few people here, there are many troubles.

In this tiny, insignificant place, there are more than twenty armed groups, all hostile to each other. It's a classic case of shallow waters teeming with turtles, and big shots everywhere.

Through the psychic perspective of the Yin spirit, Ye Qingzhou looked up and saw that the entire city was filled with the power of thought, filled with negative emotions such as hatred, resentment, violence, and chaos, which perfectly matched the description of the "Five Turbidities and Evil World" in the scriptures of the Pure Land School.

"The human world has become filthy again."

With a soft sigh, Ye Qingzhou continued walking through the streets of Mengding City, her destination the Paradise Hotel, owned by the Henry Group.

The location was easy to find. After all, in a dilapidated city, a glittering, brightly lit hotel would be far too flashy and conspicuous.

The Paradise Hotel is one of the black businesses of the Wei family, one of the four major families in Mengding City. On the surface, it operates hotels and gambling, but in reality, their main product is people.

Each and every one of them, living, breathing people.

There is no business in this world more evil than human trafficking.

What's more, these four great families are beasts who use their Eastern bloodline to lure their own bloodline compatriots here to be harmed. In reality, they have long since secretly allied themselves with the Source Blood Society, becoming its accomplices.

The profits obtained through illegal means were also transferred away by the international money laundering group controlled by the Yuanxue Club.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the four major families are nothing more than a few dogs kept by the Source Blood Society.

This is why Ye Qingzhou came here today. If he can't find the main culprit, he'll kill a few dogs from the Source Blood Society first and see if their master will show up.

Just as Ye Qingzhou lifted his foot to take a step forward, he suddenly sensed danger, followed by the sound of gunfire, with several bullets shooting towards him.

Ding~ding~ding~

The combat puppet remained motionless, letting the bullets fall on its body. In any case, this level of attack was nothing more than a tickle to Ye Qingzhou.

He was slightly surprised: "They found me beforehand?"

He then realized that something was wrong; it wasn't that his opponents were more alert, but that the enemies... were fighting each other.

At this moment, Henry's group was engaged in an armed conflict with another force in the street. Both sides had gathered hundreds of people and were firing shots in the street.

In an instant, bullets flew through the streets, people screamed, and the situation became extremely chaotic.

The shops on both sides of the street were extremely unlucky, with holes punched in the walls and shattered glass scattered all over the ground.

Seeing this scene, Ye Qingzhou was speechless: "Good heavens, I haven't even made a move yet, and you've already started fighting yourselves?"

The two groups that took action were from the people of Wei Rong, the chairman of the Henry Group. Her father, Wei Chaoren, was a former subordinate of Peng Jiasheng, the "Chenli King." He founded the Wei family, one of the four major families in Mengding City, and controlled armed forces. In the local area, he was not only all-powerful but also lawless.

The Wei family's rival is the Bai family, another of the four major families in Mengding City.

In their struggle for profits in the gambling industry, the two sides resorted to violence, engaging in a fierce street brawl that quickly resulted in the deaths of more than ten people and caused damage to other civilian facilities.

The battle lasted for more than an hour, but the local police remained completely indifferent, even keeping the police station doors tightly shut, acting as if they were turning a blind eye.

Ye Qingzhou felt more and more that this country was beyond saving; similar things were simply unimaginable in Dongji Country.

Inside the Paradise Hotel at this moment.

A short, plump woman, who appeared harmless, was angrily shouting into the phone: "Bai Yingcang, are you crazy?"

"Wei Rong, this old street isn't your Wei family's old street. You can't make all the money by yourself, or you might choke to death."

On the other end of the phone was Bai Yingcang, who had sent men to attack the Hunter Hotel that day. His father, Bai Suocheng, was one of the four great families of Chenli Kingdom.

The two companies were so brazen as to resort to knives and guns over a "business" matter that they fought violently in the streets of the capital, demonstrating their utter lawlessness.

"Bai Yingcang, I'm warning you, a distinguished guest is staying at our Paradise Hotel. You'd better behave yourself for a while, or you'll offend this VIP and die a horrible death!"

"Heh, are you kidding me?"

"I'm putting my cards on the table, believe it or not!"

Wei Rong angrily hung up the phone, pinched the bridge of his nose, and then ordered, "Bring Li Saigao here."

"Yes."

Shortly afterward, a man with an honest appearance but a slightly exaggerated expression walked into the office of Wei Rong, the female CEO.

He is the head of the arts and culture department of Henry Group, a popular internet celebrity in Chenli Kingdom, and a blogger on short video platforms. His specialty is using new media to promote and package himself, specifically to lure people from Dongguo to Mengding, where they then become lambs to the slaughter.

"Mr. Wei, you wanted to see me?"

Li Saigao asked with a fawning expression.

"Um."

Wei Rong nodded, then solemnly ordered, "A distinguished guest has just arrived at Jinjiang. Prepare some clean, fresh seafood for him to taste personally."

"Hehe, what a coincidence, a new batch of goods just arrived yesterday. They are all female students swindled from Dongji Country. I have already checked them. They are all original and unopened. I will personally deliver them to your esteemed guest right away."

I trust you to handle things.

Hearing Li Saigao say this, Wei Rong nodded with satisfaction. He was someone she had personally cultivated, and she was very happy to have him.

Seeing Wei Rong squint his eyes and lean back in his chair, Li Saigao quickly bowed and said, "President Wei, if there are no other problems, I'll go and make the arrangements."

"Okay, go ahead."

Just as Li Saigao turned around, a voice rang in their minds.

"I have a question. Is this distinguished guest you're referring to related to the Source Blood Society?"

"who!"

"Who is speaking!"

Wei Rong immediately opened the drawer, took out a pistol, and pointed it around randomly, trying to find traces of the invading enemy.

Li Saigao was so frightened that he lay on the ground, covering his head and trembling.

"Oh, you're holding a toy gun. What are you planning to do?"

The next second, Ye Qingzhou burst through the window and stood in front of Wei Rong, his cold eyes devoid of any emotion, only filled with a murderous intent that penetrated to the bone.

Wei Rong's pupils contracted. Although she was holding a gun, she felt a chill run down her spine and had no sense of security whatsoever.

The person before me is definitely a powerful martial artist!

Small-caliber firearms are a joke in front of the enemy.

At this moment, Wei Rong was filled with regret, regretting that he hadn't slipped a rocket launcher into his office drawer.

"Are you a martial artist from the Eastern Kingdom?"

Wei Rong forced himself to remain calm and said softly, "If my Wei family has offended you in any way, please be lenient and we are willing to make compensation for it."

Ye Qingzhou shook his head: "No need. From now on, there is no such thing as the Wei family. I will kill every dog ​​of the Source Blood Society, and I'll start with you."

bang~

Wei Rong fired directly, but in Ye Qingzhou's eyes, the bullet's speed was as slow as a snail.

He raised his hand and flicked his finger.

Hey~

The bullet that was fired was flicked back by his finger, and then it pierced through Wei Rong's skull, creating a fist-sized hole in the back of her head. Brain matter mixed with blood smeared all over the wall.

The gunshots alerted the guards outside, who were Wei's private soldiers. They rushed into the office, fully armed.

"President Wei!"

"Enemy attack!"

Ye Qingzhou naturally had no intention of letting these lackeys of the Wei family go unpunished.

With a flick of his sword finger, sword energy shot out, and more than ten guards were quickly killed. Their foreheads were pierced by the sword energy, and their brains were turned into mush. Even a god could not save them.

"No...don't kill me! I'm also from Dongji! People from Dongji don't kill other people from Dongji!"

Li Saigao knelt down and begged for mercy, weeping bitterly.

However, Ye Qingzhou showed him no pity. The Wei family had committed evil for many years. Below the Paradise Hotel, there were hundreds and thousands of corpses buried. Their organs were harvested, their blood was drained, and they were finally buried in a foreign land.

To commit such a heinous act, how are we any different from beasts?

"people?"

Ye Qingzhou gave a cold laugh, stepped forward, and pressed her hand down on his head: "Are you even human?"

With a slight squeeze, Li Saigao's head was completely crushed, leaving him with a mangled corpse.

Then, Ye Qingzhou manipulated the combat puppet to walk out of Wei Rong's president's office and head outside.

"Who are you!"

"President Wei is dead!"

"Grab him, he's the murderer!"

The guards, in a state of chaos, only then realized that an intruder had entered the park.

Ye Qingzhou continued his rampage, slaughtering everyone along the way. Every employee of the Henry Group who appeared there could not be considered innocent.

Therefore, Ye Qingzhou felt no psychological burden whatsoever in killing them.

Whoosh~ Whoosh whoosh~

With each strike of his sword, death itself seemed to wield its scythe, reaping the lives of the living.

Soon, Ye Qingzhou swept through the Henry Group's ranks, his path strewn with blood like a red carpet, until he reached the hotel lobby. With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed a sword aura that blasted down the hotel doors, trapping everyone inside.

The gate collapsed, killing several unfortunate people, and the remaining people were in a panic.

The guests, who had been impeccably dressed, now had no smiles on their faces, only bewilderment and fear.

"What happened?"

"Could it be that the Bai family has broken in?"

The scene fell silent the moment the ferocious figure of the combat puppet trudged down the stairs through the blood.

The group of men and women in front of him were all staring at Ye Qingzhou with their teeth chattering. They were all stakeholders in the Henry Group and had some degree of interest in the Wei family.

Seeing someone break into the Wei family's territory and start a massacre, they naturally worried that they would be implicated.

A dark-skinned, fat man stepped forward. Although he was terrified, he still spoke to Ye Qingzhou in a threatening tone: "I am Bao Yanban, the Minister of Construction of Chenli Kingdom. My uncle is Bao Youxiang, the Commander-in-Chief of the Chenli Allied Army. Whatever grudge you have with the Wei family is none of my business. If you know what's good for you, release me now..."

huh~

Ye Qingzhou raised his hand and unleashed a sword aura that shattered Bao Yanban's head. Blood splattered all over the faces of the men and women around him, causing them to scream in terror.

Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~

With a wave of his hand, he unleashed three more sword strikes, instantly killing the person who had shouted the loudest.

The remaining people immediately covered their mouths tightly, not daring to even breathe, for fear of provoking Ye Qingzhou, this ruthless martial arts expert.

Only then did Ye Qingzhou begin to transmit his thoughts, saying, "Whoever has information about the Source Blood Society, the first person to speak out, lives; the rest, die."

At this moment, a short, cunning fat man quickly spoke up: "Wait, my name is Zeng Dalang. I'm a celebrity. I'm just here for a gig. The Henry Group's business has nothing to do with me."

huh~

Ye Qingzhou flicked his finger, and a sword aura slashed across Zeng Dalang's neck. His head then rolled to the ground, and blood splattered more than three feet high.

"Lying will lead to death."

The forest's tone sent shivers down the spines of everyone else present.

They all knew that Zeng Dalang was one of the investors in the Paradise Hotel. Although he was not directly involved in what the Wei family did, he was definitely an insider.

Now everyone could see that Ye Qingzhou was serious!

"You...you're a martial artist from the Eastern Pole Kingdom, aren't you? Don't do anything reckless, murder is a crime."

Ye Qingzhou found it laughable. They were already treating living people like pigs and sheep to be slaughtered and sold, and the other party actually wanted to talk to him about the law?

huh~

A flash of sword energy, and another head fell to the ground.

The one who died this time was Wei Huai-ren, the second-in-command of the Wei family. He was originally a high-ranking figure, whose every move could shake the old street. But now he was just a headless corpse.

Wealth and power are worthless in the face of overwhelming violence.

The people around became even more frightened.

"I don't want to hear another word of nonsense."

Ye Qingzhou emphasized in a low voice.

At that moment, a man in the crowd raised his hand: "I...I have important information!"

Two members of the Wei family nearby angrily shouted, "Lin Qingchao, you traitorous dog!"

Whoosh~ Whoosh~

Without hesitation, Ye Qingzhou killed the two men with his sword. Then, with a flick of his wrist, he pulled Lin Qingchao to his side, scaring the latter so much that he wet his pants.

Lin Qingchao is Wei Rong's husband. His wife had just died at the hands of Ye Qingzhou, but Lin Qingchao didn't dare to think about revenge at all.

After all, what's more important than my own life than my wife's?

Facing imminent death, Lin Qingchao dared not conceal anything and hurriedly revealed everything he knew: "A distinguished guest has arrived at Paradise. He is being protected by members of the Seven Deadly Sins; he must be a high-ranking member of the Source Blood Society!"

"take me."

"But……"

咻咻 咻 ~

Ye Qingzhou didn't speak. He simply moved his sword fingers, letting the sword energy crisscross in all directions, killing everyone in the entire hall.

Seeing the corpses all over the ground, Lin Qingchao didn't dare to say "no" and quickly led the way obediently.

…………

Jinjiang Entertainment City is located at the other end of Mengding City.

The industry chain here is very mature. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can enjoy entertainment, whether it is legal or illegal.

On the seventh floor, in the presidential suite on the top floor, the huge bathtub was stained red with blood.

A young man with silver-gray hair and fair skin, soaking in the warm "blood water," frowned slightly: "The blood of these Southeast Asian women is of very poor quality."

"Young Master Avna, two young ladies from the Eastern Kingdom have been specially prepared for you, and we guarantee you will be satisfied."

A martial arts master stood before him and spoke with utmost respect.

The reason was that the young man before them was none other than a noble descendant of a divine bloodline!

Among the Crimson Sanctuary clan, only the original people who first worshipped the Blood God can be called the Holy Descendants; they call themselves the Thirteen Clans of Holy Blood.

Secretly, they have used money to pave the way and have already taken control of the economic lifeline of the Western Kingdom and Europe. They can even manipulate the Western Kingdom's elections.

Politicians are nothing more than puppets in their hands.

The state is nothing more than a tool they use to seize profits.

Every descendant of the saints held an extremely noble status, and even some kings of various countries had to prostrate themselves at their feet and listen to their "sacred teachings".

Because behind the Thirteen Clans of Holy Blood stands a powerful god!

The bloodline of the Holy Ones is therefore inherently noble. They do not need to cultivate; they only need to undergo the baptism of divine blood to elevate their lives and possess great power.

Upon hearing that the "dishes" were from pure young girls from the Eastern Kingdom, Avna's blood began to boil: "The Eastern Kingdom is an ancient and powerful nation, but to disrespect the Blood God is the greatest sin in the world. And I, the Blood God's most loyal believer, will give them true salvation."

As a descendant of saints, Avner enjoyed all the good things in the world from birth; luxuries that ordinary people longed for were readily available to him.

But the insatiable greed and bloodlust of the Holy Descendant meant that he could no longer be satisfied with ordinary forms of entertainment.

Therefore, destroying the pure and beautiful hopes of others became his pastime and hobby in his spare time.

Only by tearing his beautiful life to pieces could he slightly quell the desires in his heart.

"Allen, don't keep me waiting too long."

"As you wish, Master Avner."

Avner closed his eyes again and waited patiently. Around him were the mutilated corpses of three young girls, all of whom had been pawned as collateral because their parents owed gambling debts they could not repay.

Their eyes, wide open in death, could no longer be closed properly.

Boom boom boom~

On the street outside Jinjiang Entertainment City, Ye Qingzhou was holding Lin Qingchao by the neck to shield him from incoming bullets until he was riddled with holes.

Tossing the corpse aside, Ye Qingzhou slowly drew the Black Shark Sword from his back, and coldly smiled at the Wei family's private soldiers ahead: "Scum, are you ready to say goodbye to this world?"
