"Sect Master, he slandered our sect incessantly. He called our Zhou Tian Sword Sect a trash sect and said he would flatten it in a few days."
Zhou Xiangrong pointed at Qin Shilei, making wild accusations.
*Clang!*
Zhou Zhengyang drew his sword and pointed it at Qin Shilei, "Hmph, I'll let you strike first. Let's see how you plan to flatten my Zhou Tian Sword Sect."
Qin Shilei gave Zhou Xiangrong a peculiar look and chuckled, "When I beat you, there were so many people around. If you lie like this, aren't you afraid your Sect Master will punish you?"
Zhou Xiangrong's expression immediately changed. He secretly glanced at his Sect Master.
He had fabricated numerous charges against Qin Shilei to enlist his Sect Master's help for revenge. He had planned to ambush Qin Shilei on the way and instantly kill him upon meeting. He never expected Qin Shilei to expose him.
Seeing his Sect Master's displeased gaze, he quickly said, "Sect Master, you must believe me. He truly said that at the time."
Although Zhou Xiangrong said this, the crowd who had been queuing was still nearby. If they were questioned, his lie would be exposed, and he wouldn't be able to gain favor with the Sect Master.
"I'll deal with you later."
Zhou Zhengyang glared at his subordinate and then turned to Qin Shilei, "You hit my man. Kneel and kowtow three times, and I'll spare your life."
As the Sect Master himself, leading a group to cause trouble, even if he knew it was his subordinate's fault, he had to teach Qin Shilei a lesson in front of everyone to maintain the prestige of the Zhou Tian Sword Sect.
Upon hearing that there might be a misunderstanding, Su Xiaoxuan's eyes darted. She moved closer to Qin Shilei and whispered, "Mr. Qin, what if you give me a thousand crystal cores, and I resolve this for you?"
"No need." Qin Shilei smiled and shook his head. "Miss Su, I appreciate your kind offer."
He took a step forward and said coldly, "Kneel and kowtow three times, and I'll forgive you for the disturbance."
The surroundings fell silent at his words.
Then, the members of the Zhou Tian Sword Sect roared in anger.
"How dare you speak to our Sect Master like that! Let's all go and kill him!"
"Disrespecting our Sect Master is disrespecting the Zhou Tian Sword Sect. Kill him!"
"We implore the Sect Master to order the immediate execution of this madman."
The patients waiting nearby also whispered amongst themselves.
"Is this person crazy? He dares to provoke the Sect Master of the Zhou Tian Sword Sect like this."
"He's facing over a hundred people from the Zhou Tian Sword Sect alone, yet he dares to boast so wildly. He truly is a madman."
"Zhou Xiangrong, an Iron Black Rank eight, was also knocked down by that person with a single punch. Do you think that person is arrogant because he has the strength?"
"Are you foolish? Zhou Zhengyang is an Iron Black Rank nine. Although he's only one rank higher than Zhou Xiangrong, he's one of the top experts on Blue Star. Who can match his cultivation?"
"Moreover, the Zhou Tian Sword Sect has over a hundred people. Even a single person's spit could drown that man."
Zhou Zhengyang, who had been stunned by Qin Shilei's words, finally snapped back to reality.
His face filled with rage, he said, "You are seeking death."
With that, he thrust his sword towards Qin Shilei's left chest.
Qin Shilei dodged the sword with a swift movement and then lifted his right foot to kick fiercely.
Zhou Zhengyang's vision blurred, and he lost sight of the opponent. Then, an immense force struck his abdomen.
His face turned pale, and his body involuntarily flew backward through the air.
*Bang!*
Zhou Zhengyang landed heavily on the ground.
He felt as if his intestines were about to break, and after a moment, enduring the sharp pain, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Attack! Chop him up!"
Only then did the members of the Zhou Tian Sword Sect recover and charge towards Qin Shilei with their swords and sabers.
As they rushed forward, one person quietly retreated.
This person was Zhou Xiangrong, who had instigated the trouble.
Although he hadn't clearly seen how Qin Shilei kicked his Sect Master away earlier, he was deeply frightened by Qin Shilei's strength.
When Zhou Xiangrong was kicked away, he had thought it was a sneak attack by Qin Shilei, and while stronger than him, the difference wasn't insurmountable.
Now, seeing his Sect Master kicked away again by the same person, he realized he had provoked someone he shouldn't have and wanted to slip away.
However, before he could retreat from the crowd, his vision blurred, and he was instantly kicked flying to the ground again.
"Ahhh!"
With screams of agony, the number of standing members of the Zhou Tian Sword Sect gradually decreased.
In less than three minutes, the area in front of the clinic was littered with groaning individuals. Not a single member of the Zhou Tian Sword Sect remained standing.
The onlookers stared in disbelief at Qin Shilei, who stood proudly amidst the fallen.
Su Xiaoxuan was also mesmerized.
That was the Zhou Tian Sword Sect, one of the three major powers in Lingquan City, and an elite force led by Zhou Zhengyang himself.
They were easily defeated by one person in less than three minutes.
Was this even human? Could it be a beast from another world in human skin?
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Qin Shilei walked in front of Zhou Zhengyang and said coldly, "Kowtow three times, or die!"
Zhou Zhengyang, lying on the ground, looked extremely displeased.
He had always been the one to speak condescendingly to others. Now, he was being humiliated in the same manner.
Feeling his dignity severely trampled, Zhou Zhengyang blurted out, "If you want to kill me, then do it. Don't think you can insult me."
"Very well, as you wish."
Qin Shilei swiftly drew out Xue Po.
As the crimson Xue Po illuminated him, Zhou Zhengyang's heart trembled. His courage instantly vanished.
He hesitated, about to kneel, when a flash of red light appeared. He found his own eyes looking towards the sky, and in front of him, a headless corpse slowly fell.
Before Zhou Zhengyang could comprehend what was happening, an infinite darkness enveloped him, and he lost consciousness.
Witnessing this scene, Zhou Xiangrong's courage evaporated. He quickly prostrated himself on the ground.
While kowtowing, he pleaded, "This humble one has eyes but failed to recognize your greatness. I beg your excellency to spare this humble one."
The Sect Master of the Zhou Tian Sword Sect had been killed. Zhou Xiangrong, the prime instigator, would naturally not be let off easily.
Qin Shilei waved his hand, and a large head shot into the sky.
Seeing their Sect Master and elder killed by Qin Shilei's sword, the members of the Zhou Tian Sword Sect were terrified and scrambled to flee into the distance.
Just as Su Xiaoxuan thought Qin Shilei was going to go on a killing spree, he leisurely walked towards her.
She flinched back a couple of steps in fear, only to realize that Qin Shilei had already passed her and gone upstairs.
"I'll trouble Divine Physician Su to take care of my companion's condition," Qin Shilei's voice drifted from the stairs.
"Certainly," Su Xiaoxuan quickly assured him. "After taking your money, I will do my best to wake her up."
Watching the figure disappear up the stairs, Su Xiaoxuan murmured to herself, "What a powerful person, what intense killing intent. Will I be retaliated against if I extort him like this?"
She paused and then added, "He's so formidable, he must have a lot of money. It would be a shame not to shake this money tree a bit."
