Chapter 46

"One of the top ten experts in Lin'an City, an innate realm practitioner, a pillar of the Xie family, is dead just like that?"

Everyone felt their scalps tingle, looking at Xu Wuzhou, who stood amidst a pile of rubble, covered in dust, looking rather disheveled. Yet, at this moment, no one dared to mock him; all that remained in their eyes was reverence.

So far, none of them had understood how Xu Wuzhou had killed Xie Linyuan.

All they saw was Xu Wuzhou strike with a single sword, and Xie Linyuan was dead.

The more so, the more they were terrified.

"How is this possible?"

Li Wangfeng muttered to himself, finding it equally hard to accept this fact.

Xie Linyuan was actually dead.

He was one of the strongest in Lin'an City.

Even Li Wangfeng, though confident in defeating Xie Linyuan, had no certainty in killing him, as Xie Linyuan could always escape.

But now, Xie Linyuan had died at the hands of Xu Wuzhou.

This meant that Xu Wuzhou had the qualifications to stand on equal footing with them.

A junior, someone who had always been called a good-for-nothing, had become one of the strongest in Lin'an City, capable of stirring the city's风云.

"Qin Li, you are truly cunning."

Li Wangfeng glared at Qin Li.

Qin Li was also stunned, looking at Xie Linyuan's corpse, finding it hard to imagine that this was one of Lin'an City's overlords.

Looking at Xu Wuzhou, Qin Li couldn't help but pinch himself to prove that what he was seeing wasn't a dream.

Recalling Xu Wuzhou's single sword strike that killed Xie Linyuan, he was puzzled: Was Xu Wuzhou really that powerful, or did Xie Linyuan make a mistake that led to his death?

However, how could an innate realm practitioner make such a fatal mistake?

"Brother-in-law... so strong!"

Qin Yunjie swallowed hard, looking at Qin Qingmou and said.

Qin Qingmou's face appeared calm, but her heart was far from peaceful.

Surprised?

She was very surprised! Shocked?

She was very shocked.

She suddenly felt that she had never truly understood Xu Wuzhou.

Had she never thought about what he was thinking?

All along, though she didn't say much, she was proud and looked down on Xu Wuzhou.

Then, what about Xu Wuzhou?

Was he pretending all along, secretly mocking her for her lack of insight?

Qin Qingmou smiled bitterly. They were a couple, yet they were the most unfamiliar people to each other.

Qin Qingmou looked at Xu Wuzhou, seeing him in his current disheveled state, which was vastly different from her memory.

He said, "If emotions can be controlled, they cannot be called emotions." Was this his insight over the years?

Thinking about the insults and humiliations he had endured, Qin Qingmou pursed her lips. Could she have maintained such a strong heart and cultivated to this level in such an environment? Reflecting on it, she realized she couldn't; she would have given up long ago.

Xu Wuzhou, of course, didn't know that everyone present was speculating about his actions.

At this moment, he had exhausted himself using the Extinction Sword.

Even at the Ninth Level of the Postnatal Realm, using this move had almost been too much for him to bear.

Fortunately, there were still several drops of liquid in the black bowl. After swallowing them, he recovered nearly half of his strength.

He glanced at Xie Linyuan's corpse. If Xie Linyuan hadn't wanted to kill him, he wouldn't have been able to kill him, as he only had one chance to use the Extinction Sword.

Xu Wuzhou had fought Xie Linyuan for so long, constantly numbing him, all to ensure a one-hit kill.

The death of an innate realm practitioner was enough to shock many.

The Qin family was facing internal and external troubles. Many forces that relied on the Qin family had lost confidence in them. Killing an innate realm practitioner should boost the Qin family's morale.

Moreover, he had other plans.

He looked at Xie Guangping, who was severely injured and lying on a recliner. Seeing Xu Wuzhou look at him, his eyes were full of fear.

"Uncle Mao, Uncle Li, save me."

Xie Guangping screamed.

He never thought Xu Wuzhou would be so powerful. He had come with the confidence of victory, but now even Uncle Yuan had been killed by him.

Uncle Yuan had only come to guard against Qin Li, and he never imagined this outcome.

The heads of the Mao and Li families naturally wouldn't let Xie Guangping be killed. One of them blocked Qin Li, while the other rushed to Xie Guangping's side, vigilantly watching Xu Wuzhou.

Xu Wuzhou sneered, "Do you really think I would kill you?"

Xie Guangping was stunned, not understanding why Xu Wuzhou would say such a thing.

"What are you, worth my effort to kill you?"

Xu Wuzhou looked at Xie Guangping and said, "An onion can still be cooked in noodles, what can you do?"

Everyone looked at Xie Guangping with strange expressions; this was how he was seen in Xu Wuzhou's eyes.

"It's all because I was too low-key, making you have a false sense of yourself."

Xu Wuzhou sighed, looking at Mao Zhen, the head of the Mao family, who stood beside Xie Guangping, "What do you think?

So eager to jump out?

Want to fight?"

Everyone in the scene was stunned, looking at the confident Xu Wuzhou, feeling his overwhelming dominance.

Just severely injuring a Ninth Level Postnatal Realm practitioner and killing an innate realm practitioner, and now he was pointing his sword at the head of the Mao family.

What kind of courage was this?

Mao Zhen's face was dark. He had never been treated like this before.

Since becoming an innate realm practitioner, he had been a giant in Lin'an City.

But Xu Wuzhou's attitude completely disregarded him.

However, Mao Zhen could only endure.

He couldn't see the trick in Xu Wuzhou's single sword strike that killed Xie Linyuan.

The Mao family's fate rested on him, and he couldn't take the risk.

"Scared?

How boring.

No one in Lin'an City is capable of fighting.

Suddenly, I feel how lonely it is to be invincible."

Xu Wuzhou sighed, "In that case, you should avoid me in the future, right?"

Mao Zhen suddenly laughed, "Xu Wuzhou, I didn't expect you to be so powerful.

But... do you think you can do as you please in Lin'an City?

If the Qin family is destroyed, won't you and Qin Li be the first to be killed?"

"I promised someone that the Qin family would be safe.

So, he will be safe."

Xu Wuzhou looked at Mao Zhen and said.

Mao Zhen laughed loudly, "Is that so?

The Qin family is known for its weapons, which support many people, so many follow the Qin family.

But if the Qin family's weapon industry is destroyed, who will still follow them?"

"That's right! People are selfish. If they can't survive,

where is there any talk of righteousness?"

Xu Wuzhou said.

"You're not stupid.

Since you understand human nature so clearly, you know that when the Qin family's industry collapses, the Qin family will fall apart.

Then, no matter how strong you and Qin Li are, what can you change? Won't you still die?

And today, it's the beginning of the Qin family's collapse.

Today, our Mao and Li families will ensure that the Qin family can't sell a single weapon."

Mao Zhen laughed loudly.

Xu Wuzhou smiled, looking at Mao Zhen and said, "You still don't understand what I'm saying."

"What do you mean?"

Mao Zhen asked.

"I said: I promised a girl that the Qin family would be safe."

Xu Wuzhou stared at him, saying each word clearly, "So... the Qin family will be safe."

Mao Zhen sneered, thinking the young man was talking nonsense.

Thinking that just because he could fight an innate realm practitioner, he could change the whole situation.

Wait and see, the news will come soon.

The Qin family will soon be abandoned by everyone.

As Mao Zhen thought this, he saw his old servant rushing towards him, and his smile grew even wider.

The news! It's finally here!...
