#314 - Stupid Logic
The entire scene fell silent.
There was no roar of battle, no clang of swords, not even the shouts of people.
Everyone was stunned by the sight before them.
Countless eyes focused on the young man in green.
He gripped Yan Linbo's hair, dragging him along the ground.
In their eyes, his figure became as tall and imposing as a mountain!
Behind him, the demonic visage towered between heaven and earth, filling everyone with extreme pressure!
The true disciple of the leading power, the Holy Gate of Zhongzhou, was indeed extraordinary.
Just moments before, Yan Linbo had been so arrogant, acting as if he could dominate the world and all his contemporaries were mere ants.
He repeatedly spoke of suppressing Jun Wuxie with a mere flip of his hand, constantly calling him an ant, filled with utter disdain.
But now, the once-unrivaled Yan Linbo was in a miserable state, covered in blood, being dragged like a dead dog, his feet desperately kicking and struggling, but to no avail, unable to break free, a stark contrast to his previous demeanor.
People's gazes followed Jun Wuxie as he moved, watching him drag Yan Linbo by the hair towards the east of the city.
At that moment, on a distant high building, the three true disciples of the Kaitian Sword Sect wore uncertain expressions, each with a battle sword floating before them.
These were the three swords that had attacked Jun Wuxie earlier, six-star spiritual weapons!
"Are we really going to do nothing, just let Jun Wuxie kill Yan Linbo like this?"
Ding Zhi, the tenth-ranked true disciple of the Kaitian Sword Sect, asked.
"Yan Linbo is arrogant, claiming he could kill Jun Wuxie alone, he brought this upon himself! We were just using him to test Jun Wuxie's strength, otherwise, why do you think we would have agreed to let him do this?" a Soul Hunter said indifferently.
Ji Xiaohan, the eighth-ranked true disciple of the Kaitian Sword Sect, said calmly, "However, in doing so, the Holy Gate of Zhongzhou will likely be angered and come to our Kaitian Sword Sect for an explanation."
"Hmph, it's just empty threats, even if the Holy Gate is the leading power, they won't start a major war over this. Yan Linbo's death has no direct connection to us," Xi Mulin, the ninth-ranked true disciple, said.
"Given the situation today, even if we intervene now, it will be difficult to save Yan Linbo. We are too far away from him, Jun Wuxie can easily kill him before we can rescue him. The outcome cannot be changed, intervening would be meaningless and expose our identities," the Black Demon Sect's youth said.
The Soul Hunter from the Soul Hunting Hall nodded: "Today, we have assessed Jun Wuxie's strongest combat power. With his current abilities, it is not difficult for us to kill him. Even if his strength increases again before he steps into the death trap we have set up, it will be difficult for him to defy fate!"
"If it weren't for the fact that it's inconvenient for us to directly deal with Ji Liufeng, why would we have waited so long? We could have lured Jun Wuxie into the trap at any time!"
"Today is different from the past, it is a time of war between two countries. If we directly kill Ji Liufeng, it will cause panic among the royal families of all countries in the world, and that would cross the bottom line of those who set the rules. Some tacit understandings must be observed. Besides, an emperor of a mortal kingdom is not worthy of our attention, it would be beneath our dignity!" a Soul Hunter said coldly.
"Ah!"
In the distant sky, Yan Linbo roared in anguish.
"Jun Wuxie, I am a true disciple of the Holy Gate, how dare you humiliate me like this!"
He couldn't accept this reality. For so many years, he had rarely tasted defeat among his peers.
Today, in a remote and desolate place like the Great Zhou, he had actually been defeated in public by a Star Celestial Realm martial artist, a truly humiliating experience!
Jun Wuxie remained silent, dragging Yan Linbo, his eyes as cold as a death god from hell.
In the distance, Mu Yang Qingya's face was twisted, her eyes filled with endless hatred!
That damned country bumpkin actually defeated Yan Linbo!
That was the tenth-ranked true disciple of the Holy Gate of Zhongzhou, with immense power!
She had thought that by latching onto such a young prodigy, she would see Jun Wuxie kneeling on the ground, desperately waiting for death.
However, her dream was shattered.
On this day, it was ruthlessly crushed by the person she hated and loathed!
Thinking of the price she had paid these days, thinking of how she had degraded herself like a prostitute to please Yan Linbo, letting him play with her body at will, just to see Jun Wuxie kneeling before her.
Having paid such a humiliating price, she had thought that she would finally get her wish, but she never expected the result to be so cruel!
"Jun Wuxie! You country bumpkin! I, Mu Yang Qingya, will not lose, how could I lose to you, lose to Ji Yinlan! I will prove that the person I have set my sights on is ten times, a hundred times stronger than the person Ji Yinlan has set her sights on!"
Mu Yang Qingya screamed hoarsely, then turned and left.
Jun Wuxie's perception of martial intent was extremely sharp. He naturally sensed the bone-deep hatred that someone harbored towards him.
He glanced coldly in that direction, and his perception of martial intent locked onto Mu Yang Qingya.
However, he had no mind to pay attention to such a crazy woman.
Mu Yang Qingya had never entered his eyes.
Just as he was about to reach the location of Lingfei and Su Xiaoxiao, dragging the struggling Yan Linbo,
A large, blazing hand suddenly pierced through the sky, grabbing towards Yan Linbo, trying to snatch him from his grasp.
Jun Wuxie's eyes erupted with demonic light. He punched through the fiery palm, the dragon's roar and tiger's howls of his fist imprint undiminished, piercing through the sky and blasting into a certain location inside the Qizhen Pavilion.
With a loud bang,
Inside the Qizhen Pavilion, dazzling light of energy erupted, and defensive runes shone.
"Jun Wuxie, how dare you attack the Qizhen Pavilion!"
A figure wreathed in flames soared into the sky, every inch of his skin burning with fiery runes, the aura of a Sovereign King overwhelming the heavens and earth, creating a terrifying anomaly that distorted the surrounding space.
People's pupils constricted.
That was a Pavilion Master of the Qizhen Pavilion, a Sovereign King Realm expert from the Holy Gate of Zhongzhou.
He couldn't help but take action, wanting to save the true disciple of his sect, Yan Linbo.
"You want to die?"
Jun Wuxie stared coldly at the Sovereign King.
Today, no one could save Yan Linbo from his hands.
Even if he were to shed blood in the capital city today, even if he were to die here, he would kill Yan Linbo before his death!
Moreover, the opponent was only a Sovereign King, posing no threat to him.
"Jun Wuxie! You are too arrogant!" The Holy Gate Sovereign King's eyes burned with raging fire, and he said coldly, "My Holy Gate's true disciple, how can you humiliate him? This battle between you two should have been stopped at a point, why haven't you released Yan Linbo yet?"
"Hahaha!" Jun Wuxie laughed, laughing in extreme anger: "Stopped at a point? I'm giving you face? Do you think this is a friendly exchange? This is a battle of life and death, where the loser dies!"
"Bastard! Do you really think you can do whatever you want by relying on the prestige of the Martial Saint?"
The Holy Gate Sovereign King rebuked sternly.
"I do whatever I want?" Jun Wuxie gripped Yan Linbo's hair, stepped on him, and questioned the Sovereign King from afar: "What old grudges do I have with your Holy Gate?"
"Naturally, there are none."
The Holy Gate Sovereign King responded blandly.
"Since there are no old grudges, why did your Holy Gate's true disciple jump out and say he wanted to kill me for no reason! It's fine if you want to kill me, just come directly to me, but why did you attack my friends, and this friend is also a disciple of the Medicine King Sect! How arrogant is your Holy Gate to not even put the Medicine King Sect in your eyes, wantonly harming its disciples? Afterwards, you still spout nonsense in this capital city!"
"I can answer all of your questions one by one!" The Holy Gate Sovereign King said blandly: "Yan Linbo said he wanted to kill you, that's just competition between the younger generation, there's nothing wrong with that! As for the matter of the Medicine King Sect's disciple being injured, it is true that Yan Linbo's actions were inappropriate, and we will give the Medicine King Sect an explanation!"
"Are you satisfied with what I've said?" The Holy Gate Sovereign King said here, his voice suddenly sinking: "Although Yan Linbo said he wanted to kill you in this city, it was just provocative words from a young and vigorous man, how can you take it seriously? In fact, did he kill you? He didn't kill you, so what reason do you have to kill him?"
"Oh? Are you saying that I can only take revenge and kill back after Yan Linbo kills me?"
Jun Wuxie was truly amused, what kind of ridiculous logic was this!
"That's right, this is the principle!" The Holy Gate Sovereign King said coldly: "My Holy Gate, as the leading power, has not used its power to bully others, but is reasoning with you here, don't tell me you still want to go against my Holy Gate?"
"Did your brain get caught in a door?"
Jun Wuxie didn't want to talk to such an idiot anymore, it was truly laughable!
He dragged Yan Linbo towards Lingfei and Su Xiaoxiao.
"Stop!"
The Holy Gate Sovereign King was like a fiery bird streaking across the sky, directly pouncing towards Yan Linbo in Jun Wuxie's hands.
He knew he couldn't attack Jun Wuxie, but he had to save Yan Linbo.
The tenth-ranked true disciple of the sect, such a prodigy, could not be allowed to perish like this!
