Chapter 731 - 705: I Advise You to Be Kind
The entire Golden Core District was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
On the martial stage, Qi Xue’s screams continued, sending chills down the spine of everyone below.
After crippling Qi Xue’s left arm with one strike, Sun Zhe mercilessly took out her right arm as well.
Now with both arms ruined, this prodigy, on whom the entire Qi Family had placed high hopes, would likely never wield a sword again.
But in truth, even without crippling her arms, merely Sun Zhe’s heart-wrenching taunts had extinguished her spirit to wield a sword.
Sun Zhe did not intend to destroy her Dantian, and after crippling her arms, he turned his gaze to her legs.
"Young friend, spare her if you can!"
At that moment, a voice suddenly echoed from below.
Sun Zhe looked toward the voice and saw an elderly man in a simple green robe.
The white-haired old man’s eyes were sinister, clearly not a good person, and his presence was formidable and profound, likely at the Nascent Soul Realm.
Upon the old man’s appearance and words, the crowd was in an uproar, and martial artists below cast looks of astonishment.
"Who would have thought even the Qi Family’s third elder, Qi Feiying, would show up!"
"Why is he here?"
"Nonsense, with Miss Qi in such a state, his appearance makes sense!"
"I truly never expected that someone like me, a small character, would actually get to see the Martial Hero of the Nascent Soul District."
"..."
On the martial stage.
Listening to the discussions below, Sun Zhe pieced together an understanding of the white-haired old man’s background.
The white-haired elder was named Qi Feiying, holding a high position as the third elder of the Qi Family, and also the Martial Hero of the underground arena’s Nascent Soul District.
Such an identity was unquestionably intimidating, a mighty figure in all Kyoto, yet Sun Zhe was not bothered, and he smiled indifferently, "Why didn’t the senior speak out earlier when she was trying to cripple me on stage?"
Qi Feiying patiently responded, "Xue’er’s previous actions were indeed misguided and inconsiderate. I apologize on her behalf. Young friend, if you stop now, there’s still room for resolution."
"In the martial world, one shouldn’t take things too far."
"Boom!"
Unexpectedly, as his voice fell, Sun Zhe heartlessly struck down, directly crippling Qi Xue’s left leg.
"Ah—!"
The piercing scream echoed once again in the air.
The martial artist crowd immediately erupted, as no one expected that even with Qi Feiying’s personal intervention and lowered demeanor, Sun Zhe would show no respect whatsoever.
This was clearly intending to sever ties and fully become enemies with the Qi Family, wasn’t it?
Qi Feiying’s eyes reddened, his elderly body trembling with rage, turning to Qi Xue, "Xue’er, admit defeat!"
"I... won’t..."
Unexpectedly, Qi Xue crawled up from the ground, slowly moving toward her sword thrown aside.
Sun Zhe watched with a detached expression and did not stop her.
As he looked at the blood-trailing figure crawling on the ground, he suddenly felt a bit of admiration.
Such determination surpasses ninety-nine percent of the men in the world.
"Enough. It ends here."
Sun Zhe walked over and kicked Qi Xue off the martial stage.
He didn’t have a taste for torturing people; he simply wanted to repay Qi Xue in kind, venting his inner resentment.
However, seeing Qi Xue fall off the stage unconscious, for some reason, he felt neither jubilant nor satisfied about his great revenge, instead he felt a touch of sentiment.
Below the martial stage.
Chen Yungang sighed, saying to Chen Ruolong, "Ruolong, about that thing we discussed earlier... perhaps we should let it go."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ruolong was stunned, "You’re referring to having the boss join the Chen Family Martial Hall?"
Chen Yungang nodded.
He could roughly foresee Sun Zhe’s miserable fate, completely losing the intent to recruit Sun Zhe into the Chen Family Martial Hall.
Because Sun Zhe’s treatment of Qi Xue clearly provoked the entire Qi Family, which surely would bring deadly disaster!
If the Chen Family got too close to him, it might also be implicated.
Chen Ruoyi and Chen Ruolong glanced at each other, then they both looked at Chen Yungang, already understanding his intention.
But the siblings paid no mind, as both knew the terrifying background of Sun Zhe.
A mere Qi Family was nothing.
Chen Ruolong said, "Dad, I advise against that... you’ll regret it."
Chen Yungang snorted coldly, decisively turning to leave, "From today onward, both of you should also keep away from him, or I’ll break your legs!"
His voice was loud, seemingly deliberate for others to hear.
Yet, he merely intended to indicate his attitude to Qi Feiying nearby, declaring a clear separation from Sun Zhe.
At the original spot.
Watching Chen Yungang’s silhouette disappearing into the crowd, Chen Ruolong asked, "Sis, what are we going to do now?"
Chen Ruoyi thought for a moment, then said, "Though Dad doesn’t know Ah Zhe’s identity, this is too opportunistic... honestly, the Chen Family Martial Hall really doesn’t deserve Ah Zhe."
Chen Ruolong nodded, "I understand. That’s what I thought too."
"..."
At this time.
In the observation corridor.
Qi Jie stared at the big screen, sighing long and low, murmuring, "Knowing today, why bother in the past?"
Considering that she was still his own sister after all, he decided to go take a look at the situation.
...
An hour later.
Sun Zhe jumped off the martial stage, his record of twenty-three consecutive victories was retained. If no one broke the record within three days, he would replace Qi Xue and become the new Martial Hero of the Golden Core District.
"Boss, you’re just incredibly mighty!"
"Hahaha... so satisfying, isn’t it!"
"Congratulations, Boss, on winning the Martial Hero of the Golden Core District. Tonight, we should drink heartily!"
Chen Ruolong completely treated Chen Yungang’s words as noise, as Sun Zhe stepped off the stage, he clamored for a victory celebration tonight.
"Sure, I feel like drinking some wine too."
Unexpectedly, as the group of four exited the Martial Arts District, they encountered Qi Feiying and Qi Jie blocking the way.
Qi Jie looked at Sun Zhe, his eyes showed no hatred, just deep helplessness, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start.
Sun Zhe raised an eyebrow at Qi Feiying, "Senior, is this coming for revenge?"
Qi Feiying’s expression was emotionless, "Both arms and left leg are crippled; she’ll never wield a sword again. Are you satisfied?"
Sun Zhe laughed, "To be honest, I am quite satisfied."
Qi Feiying’s sinister gaze suddenly produced a smile, "Then I hope the consequences you soon face will also satisfy you."
"Revenge breeds further vengeance, when will it end." Sun Zhe laughed and shook his head, "Old senior, I advise you to be kind."
"What, are you afraid?"
Sun Zhe gently shook his head, saying, "I simply think it’s a pity for someone of your age, having painstakingly reached Nascent Soul, to squander your future this way."
Qi Feiying calmly said, "You should feel the pity for yourself. Previously, I offered you a chance, you turned it down."
Sun Zhe asked, "Then if I offer you a chance now, would you take it?"
Qi Feiying’s eyes lowered, completely unclear what Sun Zhe meant to express.
Sun Zhe considered for a moment, then said, "Senior, there’s no need to make trouble to retaliate against me, because in a few days I’ll be entering the Nascent Soul District to register, looking forward to tasting the consequence you prepare."
Upon hearing this, Qi Feiying’s gaze was subtly shaken.
Chen Ruoyi, Feng Ling, Chen Ruolong exchanged glances and then looked at Sun Zhe with eyes as if they were seeing a monster.
Qi Jie’s eyes widened, finding it unbelievable.
"Brother Sun, you’re going to the Nascent Soul District? You, in fact..."
"..."
