Chapter 238 - 237: Future Trouble

"Thank you, Brother Qin!"

Li Zhuang stood up, his body still looking a little weak.

The Supreme Demon-Defying Saber was too sinister.

A single strike had nearly drained Li Zhuang to the bone.

But having survived that one strike, a strange transformation had occurred within Li Zhuang.

’Saber Intent... Supreme Demon-Defying Saber Intent. Li Zhuang actually comprehended a trace of Supreme Demon-Defying Saber Intent. It seems this was a blessing in disguise. Between life and death lies great terror, but also great opportunity. Once he fully digests this Saber Intent, he’ll have no bottleneck on his way to the Innate Realm!’

Qin Feng thought to himself, a smile gracing his lips.

"Li Zhuang!" Just then, a figure in green flashed by. A young woman rushed forward to help Li Zhuang up.

The young woman’s gaze swept up and down Li Zhuang, her eyes filled with both worry and concern.

"Hua Qiong!" Li Zhuang looked a little shy, his face flushing red.

’This silly kid is quite popular with the ladies, huh?’

Qin Feng chuckled softly, then looked up after a moment and said, "Li Zhuang, although I taught you the Supreme Demon-Defying Saber, this Saber Technique is exceptionally sinister. If you haven’t reached the Condensing Vein Realm, it’s best not to use it if you can avoid it!"

"Yes, Brother Qin!" Lifting his head, Li Zhuang’s eyes filled with gratitude.

Only someone who truly understood the Supreme Demon-Defying Saber Technique would know how powerful it was.

Qin Feng had so easily passed on such an incredibly precious Cultivation Technique to him. Li Zhuang felt a sense of gratitude that was hard to put into words.

"Also, that strike consumed most of your lifespan. Although I used the Seven Star Dragon Spring Water to restore a portion of it, it can only extend your life for another eight years!"

"Within these eight years, you must find a way to acquire Spirit Medicine to extend your own life. Fortunately, All Stars Academy has plenty of Spirit Medicine. As long as you can earn enough Points and Merit Points, you can exchange them for what you need!"

Qin Feng’s voice was a little heavy.

Although the Supreme Demon-Defying Saber was incomparably powerful, its side effects were simply too great.

Hua Qiong’s pretty face instantly turned deathly pale, but Li Zhuang remained very calm. "Brother Qin, don’t worry. I will find a way!"

Having been baptized by life and death, Li Zhuang had matured a great deal. His expression revealed a new-found resolve.

Suddenly, a figure lunged toward Li Zhuang like a mad person.

A bone-chilling glint of cold light!

"Li Zhuang, I want you to pay with your life for what you did to Brother Ao!"

With a flicker of movement, Qin Feng appeared in front of Li Zhuang in the next instant. He grabbed a young woman in a pink dress by the neck as she desperately brandished a dagger in her hand.

She struggled with all her might!

"A mere Martial Arts Sixth Layer Heaven Realm, and you think you can assassinate someone in front of me!"

A cold glint flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes. His five fingers tightened around the young woman’s slender, fair neck. Her face was contorted, her pupils constricting as her eyes shot daggers of bone-deep hatred at Li Zhuang, as if she wanted to flay his skin, eat his flesh, and drink his blood.

"Let me go! Let me go! I’m going to kill that bastard Li Zhuang!"

The young woman’s hair was disheveled and her pretty face was flushed red. Qin Feng’s five fingers were like an iron vise; no matter how much she struggled, she couldn’t break free.

"Yu Ke’Er?"

Li Zhuang stared blankly at the young woman, murmuring, "Why? Why do you want to kill me?"

Yu Ke’Er’s beautiful eyes blazed with bone-deep hatred as she screamed in fury, "Why? Because you shouldn’t be alive in the first place! You should be dead!"

"Li Zhuang, why didn’t you just die? Why did you have to kill Ao Shen? Do you have any idea what you’ve done? You’ve destroyed everything for me! My life of luxury, my dream of becoming a Prince Consort... everything, it’s all ruined!"

"Tell me, Li Zhuang! Why didn’t you just die? Why is a bastard like you still alive!"

Struck as if by lightning, Li Zhuang staggered back several steps, his face a ghastly white, filled with a despair worse than death.

Yu Ke’Er’s words were no different from stabbing him in the heart several more times.

"You let me go! Let me go!" Yu Ke’Er shrieked at Qin Feng.

SLAP!

A slap landed squarely on Yu Ke’Er’s face. Her fair, delicate features quickly swelled and turned red, a clear palm print appearing on her cheek.

"You dare hit me?" Yu Ke’Er looked at Qin Feng in disbelief.

"Of course I’d hit you!" Qin Feng sneered. "I’m not Li Zhuang. In his eyes, you’re his whole world, his everything. Even if you stabbed him with a knife, he wouldn’t dodge!"

"But in my eyes, you are nothing! Your pretty face and your figure aren’t nearly enough capital for you to act so brazenly in front of me!"

Qin Feng applied a little more pressure with his hand. Yu Ke’Er struggled to breathe, her throat feeling as if it were about to be crushed.

"Do you see now? You’re not some Princess. Not everyone is going to revolve around you like Li Zhuang does!"

Qin Feng looked coldly at this self-important, selfish woman.

Qin Feng felt it was a waste for Li Zhuang. A selfish woman like this was completely unworthy of love. Her eyes were only ever for herself, no one else. She thought others being good to her was only natural, as if they were born to serve her. If they did one little thing wrong, it was an unforgivable crime!

’In Qin Feng’s opinion, a woman like this just needs to be taught a lesson!’

’Only after a harsh lesson, only after feeling bone-deep pain, would she finally wake up and realize her mistakes!’

"Qin Feng, you bastard! What gives you the right to say that to me? What right do you have?" Yu Ke’Er shrieked.

"I’ll show you what right I have!"

A cold light flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes as a strand of his Primordial Star True Qi pierced into Yu Ke’Er’s body like a sharp sword.

Intending to teach her a lesson, Qin Feng converted the Primordial Star True Qi into a trace of Sword Qi, which then rampaged through Yu Ke’Er’s body.

The savage impact was like a red-hot branding iron searing through her delicate meridians.

The pain was even more intense than death by a thousand cuts!

"AHHH!" Yu Ke’Er screamed wretchedly.

In an instant, the intense pain made Yu Ke’Er wish she could just rip her own body apart and end her life.

A trace of terror appeared in Yu Ke’Er’s eyes.

It was the first time Yu Ke’Er had ever met a man like this.

In this man’s eyes, all she saw was coldness, was ruthlessness. For the first time, her flower-like beauty was utterly useless.

A venomous glint flashed in Yu Ke’Er’s eyes as she suddenly slashed the dagger toward Qin Feng.

"Still not behaving! Baring your fangs and claws? Then I’ll just break your claws for you!"

Qin Feng sneered. His hand shot out like lightning and grabbed Yu Ke’Er’s wrist. With a forceful squeeze, he crushed it.

The intense pain caused Yu Ke’Er to let out a heaven-shattering scream.

The miserable sound abruptly jolted Li Zhuang back to his senses.

Li Zhuang looked up. Seeing the extreme agony on Yu Ke’Er’s contorted face, he turned to Qin Feng and said in a low voice,

"Brother Qin, let her go!"

Qin Feng pondered for a moment, then forcefully flung Yu Ke’Er aside.

THUD! Yu Ke’Er’s body tumbled to the ground.

Li Zhuang looked like he wanted to say something, but stopped. After a moment, he closed his eyes, a flash of pain in them. Without looking back, he turned and walked away.

Hua Qiong’s pretty face tightened with concern, and she quickly followed him.

Watching their retreating backs, Qin Feng’s eyes flickered. ’Matters of the heart have always been the most hurtful. If Li Zhuang can overcome this trial of love, there’s no doubt that with the Supreme Demon-Defying Saber Intent, he will be able to soar to the heavens. He might even be able to truly master this terrifying Saber Technique.’

’If he cannot, he will be trapped by the Supreme Demon-Defying Saber Intent and fall into demonhood!’

This was something Qin Feng couldn’t help Li Zhuang with.

With a slight sigh, Qin Feng also left All Stars Academy.

The City of Many Stars branch of the Mystic Master Guild was not far from All Stars Academy, just a few hundred paces away. Qin Feng appeared on a prosperous street bustling with traffic. The storefronts on both sides were neat and imposing, and the street was filled with an air of prosperity.

The first thing that caught his eye was the simple yet grand Artifact Refiner’s Guild, and on the other side, the Alchemist Guild.

A few dozen paces later, at the corner of a crossroads, Qin Feng saw the Mystic Master Guild, which was currently under construction.

Many craftsmen were moving in and out, carrying timber and stone.

"Young Master!" Suddenly, a familiar, joyful voice called out.

Qin Feng turned around. A figure in red floated gracefully toward him, bringing a fragrant breeze. Qin Feng smoothly wrapped his arms around the young woman’s slender figure...
