Chapter 31: The Word Love Causes Great Harm

Postnatal Realm!

This was Wei Ziqing’s current strength!

The anxiety and urgency he felt over the past two days were not just negative feelings of unrest.

Perhaps it was because his feelings for Little Dragon Maiden had been suppressed for a long time. Once he heard that something had happened to her, he fell into deep worry, and in the process, he unconsciously trained his Innate Skill to the fifth level!

This might have been due to the characteristics of the Innate Skill, or perhaps it was related to Wei Ziqing’s talent: the Innate Saint Physique!

But none of that mattered now, because the result could not be changed. The fact was that Wei Ziqing was now a Postnatal Expert!

“Run, I must run! This Wei Ziqing is actually a Postnatal Expert; it is impossible to be his opponent!”

Imperial Preceptor Jinlun regretted it!

He would rather suffer the humiliation given by Wei Ziqing at the Hero Assembly once more than choose to be his enemy!

Because even ten Peak Experts would definitely not be a match for a Postnatal Expert who possessed Sword Aura!

Thinking of this, Imperial Preceptor Jinlun stopped abruptly, turned around, and actually fled toward the main gate!

He fled without fighting!

This sudden change immediately left Sun Bu’er, Hao Datong, and Gongsun Zhi stunned in place!

Who could have imagined that the dignified Imperial Preceptor Jinlun, a Peak Expert, would do something so despised by the people of the Jianghu!

Sun Bu’er reacted quickly and immediately began to roar at Imperial Preceptor Jinlun’s retreating back, because they simply could not let him leave!

If he were gone, the three of them facing Wei Ziqing would be like hitting a rock with an egg; they would have no chance of survival!

“Imperial Preceptor Jinlun, stop right there, you…”

“You idiot, if not now, when should I run? You want to die, but this Imperial Advisor does not!” Before Sun Bu’er could finish, Imperial Preceptor Jinlun, who was fleeing toward the door, roared back!

His speed increased even more!

“Want to escape?” Wei Ziqing’s face was ice-cold. He had not expected Imperial Preceptor Jinlun to act this way. However, wanting to escape in front of him? Was that even possible?

Immediately, he used the general formula of the Nine Swords of Dugu. The sharp Sword Aura, as if guided, flew crazily toward Imperial Preceptor Jinlun. Its speed was so fast that even Huang Laoxie could only see a flash of cold light!

“No…” Imperial Preceptor Jinlun’s face was filled with horror, and he let out a terrified scream. He wanted to run, but his entire body became incredibly stiff. He could even see that terrifying flash of Sword Aura easily slice through his body, yet he was powerless to resist.

“No… impossible! How is this possible!”

Sun Bu’er, Hao Datong, and Gongsun Zhi had looks of utter disbelief on their faces.

How was this possible?

Imperial Preceptor Jinlun was a Peak Expert, yet with just one sword strike, he was harvested without any resistance, like a chicken being slaughtered!

Looking at Imperial Preceptor Jinlun, whose face was full of unwillingness, shock, and terror as his life force gradually faded, Sun Bu’er and the others panicked completely.

“Run, run quickly, Junior Sister! This little animal is in the Postnatal Realm; we are not his match! Run!”

Hao Datong finally reacted and shouted urgently to Sun Bu’er, also wanting to run!

They could not be blamed; if even a Peak Expert was no match for Wei Ziqing, and they were only First-Rate Experts, how could they possibly win?

A flash of unwillingness appeared on Sun Bu’er’s face!

She was not willing to just run away!

Wei Ziqing had already humiliated her enough. If she fled now, how could she ever maintain her standing in the Jianghu from this day forward!

“So what if you are Postnatal? Little animal, today this Old Daoist shall remove this evil from the Wulin!” Sun Bu’er roared in rage. The sword she thrust at Wei Ziqing did not stop; instead, it became even more vicious!

“Idiot!” Wei Ziqing sneered. He truly had not expected Sun Bu’er to be this foolish!

A First-Class expert wanting to shake a Postnatal one?

Forget about him; even if Wang Chongyang were reborn, it would still be impossible!

“Setting aside the fact that you kidnapped Little Dragon Maiden to threaten me, based on your hatred for me alone, you absolutely cannot survive!”

In Wei Ziqing’s world, there were only two types of people: the dead and the living!

Those who lived were either friends or strangers!

And those who died were only enemies!

A killing intent flashed in his eyes. He flicked the Azure Light Sword, pointing it straight at Sun Bu’er’s neck!

“No! Junior Sister!” Hao Datong’s face was filled with horror, and his eyes widened. He never imagined that his junior sister would truly be blinded by hatred. In such a situation, instead of fleeing, she actually wanted to kill Wei Ziqing!

Puchi!

The sword entered a chest, but Wei Ziqing’s brows furrowed!

The sword that was meant for Sun Bu’er was now stabbed straight into Hao Datong. Hao Datong’s hands gripped the Azure Light Sword tightly, letting blood slide down the blade. Time seemed to freeze.

“No!” After reacting, Sun Bu’er let out a cry of unwillingness. She held Hao Datong, her face full of reluctance and regret: “Senior Brother, why? Why? Why did you do this!”

She had not expected that her senior brother, who clearly wanted to run, would instead block this sword for her. She did not understand; she truly did not understand!

A touch of tenderness flashed in Hao Datong’s eyes. He opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing. He only looked at Wei Ziqing and said weakly, “All… all of this… is my fault. Please… please let my junior sister go… please…”

After speaking, he slowly closed his eyes!

Sun Bu’er regretted it!

She completely broke down!

If she had known that her momentary lapse in judgment would lead to her senior brother’s death, she would never have done such a thing!

But…

Looking at Hao Datong’s body, at this moment, Sun Bu’er completely collapsed!

“No… Senior Brother, don’t… don’t die… don’t leave me!” Sun Bu’er hugged Hao Datong’s body, her face covered in tears and her hair messy. She roared hysterically. At this moment, the light faded from her eyes, and she looked as if she had aged ten years!

Wei Ziqing stood silently in place. This was a result he had not expected!

He tried to pull the sword out of Hao Datong’s chest, but the grip of the dead man’s hand was like an iron clamp; he could not pull it out.

Wei Ziqing fell silent. Then, he slowly let go of the hand. Looking at the completely broken Sun Bu’er, he suddenly lost the desire to kill her.

She was no longer a threat!

This was perhaps the best punishment for her!

As for Gongsun Zhi, Wei Ziqing had no interest in dealing with him. He could not escape, but Wei Ziqing would not be the one to kill him. There were naturally other people who wanted to settle accounts with him!

“Go, go save your wife!” Huang Laoxie had appeared beside Wei Ziqing at some point. He looked at Sun Bu’er, who was muttering in a daze while holding Hao Datong, with a look of helplessness on his face.

The word love truly causes great harm!

“Little Dragon Maiden!”

Hearing Huang Laoxie’s words, Wei Ziqing’s expression changed. Without a word, he immediately grabbed a Passionless Valley disciple, found out the location of the dungeon, and rushed there.

Among the people present, neither Wei Ziqing nor Huang Laoxie noticed that someone had already disappeared unnoticed!
