61: Who wants to kill me? Who dares to kill me?
Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!
Chu Qing, leaving a bloody footprint with each step, arrived at the entrance of the Martial Academy.
He saw the Twins, Cui Moyang, and the white-haired Wang Yinyang.
He saw some Martial Instructors.
He saw Inspector Li, the Vice Dean, and others.
Everyone looked at him with complex expressions.
Chu Qing walked forward, surveying The Crowd.
Although there were dozens of meters between them, the people were intimidated by the violent, disdainful Aura emanating from him.
Some even stepped back.
Chu Qing stopped, crossed his arms, and smiled, "Who else wants to kill me?"
Silence!
Quiet!
Among the Inner Courtyard students, some gritted their teeth; they were Wubao Disciples, including members of the He Family.
The Martial Instructors had complicated expressions.
The Vice Dean smiled.
One second... ten seconds... Chu Qing roared, "Who else wants to kill me?"
Among the Inner Courtyard students, some retreated one after another, disappearing into the darkness.
One second... ten seconds... Chu Qing turned, looked into the darkness, and roared, "Who dares to kill me?"
One second... ten seconds... complete silence!
Chu Qing sighed.
He walked step by step into the Martial Academy gate.
The moment he stepped through the Martial Academy gate, Qingfeng, one of the Twins, cheered, "Lead Big Brother is truly fierce!"
Mingyue, the other Twin, said crisply, "If a person isn't ruthless, they can't stand firm!"
"Lead Big Brother, you are indeed ruthless enough!"
Chu Qing smiled.
He looked at the other Inner Courtyard students and smiled, "You Wubao Disciples also wanted to kill me; unfortunately, you lack the guts, you're all cowards!"
"Since you're all cowards, put my longsword and scabbard at my door later."
"Remember... wipe them clean!"
"Otherwise... people will really die!"
After speaking, he walked step by step towards the Stone Tower, bathed in the light of dawn.
It wasn't until his figure disappeared behind the overlapping buildings that an Inner Courtyard disciple sneered, "Who does he think he is?"
"He just entered the Inner Courtyard, doesn't even have a single Iron Bones, and he dares to threaten us?"
The Twins, Mingyue and Qingfeng, said in unison, "What about Lead Big Brother threatening you?"
"Who's not convinced? Come out, I'll beat you to death!"
The Twins, Qingfeng, said in unison, "Who's not convinced? Come out, I'll beat you to death."
These two pairs of Twins walked outside the gate.
They stared intently at the group of Inner Courtyard students.
Lead Big Brother had slain so many people, it made them incredibly excited, and they also wanted to slay people.
The Vice Dean coughed, "Qingfeng Mingyue, come back."
The two pairs of Twins immediately returned to the Martial Academy.
"Everyone, disperse. Class will start soon."
The Vice Dean turned and left.
Inspector Li sighed, "How many Mud Leg are there at the bottom? Tragic!"
"This Inspector is leaving to report back to the Main Academy!"
Inspector Li was quite disappointed.
At first, he had even wanted to use the Wubao's Powerful children to suppress the prestige of the Vice Dean's faction.
As a result, this group of people couldn't even handle one Chu Qing.
There were hundreds of Thugs, and even twenty Iron Riders surrounding him to kill him.
The result:
Not a single one escaped; all were slain.
"Even hundreds of pigs wouldn't die so cleanly."
"The Fortified Manor—it's been arrogant for hundreds of years... yet it's nothing more than this!"
Inspector Li's paperwork had been completed yesterday.
He left immediately, without a moment's delay.
He was utterly disappointed with the Wubao's Powerful children in Shiji County... The Martial Instructors exchanged glances and quietly departed.
Some were happy, praising Chu Qing's skill.
There were also some Martial Instructors whose expressions were gloomy.
They went to a secluded corner and whispered.
"Chu Qing is too arrogant, his methods are too ruthless..."
"Should the next plan still be implemented?"
A Martial Instructor hesitated for a long time, then said hoarsely, "It must be implemented!"
"There are too many resources; I'd rather die than give up the fat meat we're about to get."
"Alright, then let's continue the plan."
"Anyway, you're the first to test the waters."
"As long as they show even a slight sign of backing down, we can soar to great heights."
...The Inner Courtyard students stood rooted to the spot, silent for a long time.
After a long while, a member of the He Family Stronghold said, "Everyone... what should we do?"
A bright woman brushed her long hair back from her ear and said coldly, "Look on the bright side, it's just some running dogs who died, isn't it?"
"We have plenty!"
"Moreover, the matter of killing Chu Qing was orchestrated by the old folks in the family; what does it have to do with us?"
The He Family Stronghold member said hoarsely, "But he's too arrogant!"
"He boasted that even irrefutable evidence couldn't touch him; he said that killing Wubao Disciples was nothing; this is an attack on the Wubao's prestige."
The bright woman disdained, "Fool!"
"When we Wubao Disciples kill others, what if there's irrefutable evidence? Who dares to interfere?"
"It's just... that when this kind of thing happens to oneself, it's simply unacceptable."
"But if you treat him as a Wubao Disciple, wouldn't you feel better?"
The He Family Disciple mumbled, "But... he's just a Mud Leg!"
The other students nodded in agreement.
The bright woman sighed inwardly and said coldly, "Dressed in fine clothes, killing people like cutting grass, with a heart of iron and a tongue like a knife; he is no longer a Mud Leg."
The Crowd fell silent.
The bright woman shook her head inwardly, then turned and left.
The He Family Disciple urgently asked, "Should I clean up his longsword and scabbard for him?"
The bright woman stumbled, almost dying from such a foolish question.
Without looking back, she waved her hand and hurried away.
The He Family Disciple... was bewildered...
"Quick, clean up the bodies!"
"Gather the weapons first!"
A group of Wubao and Powerful servants frantically cleaned up the bodies in the streets and alleys, quickly sanitizing the area.
Unfortunately, it was their first time doing such a thing, and they were in a chaotic rush.
A servant mumbled, "Before, others always cleaned up for us."
A steward whipped him, growling, "Shut up!"
The servant grimaced in pain and quickly resumed working.
And the steward's heart was filled with sorrow.
Yes, in the past, Wubao Disciples would always kill indiscriminately, and constables and gang members would scramble to help clean up the mess.
But this time... "What's wrong with this world?"
"The high and mighty Wubao, carving out their own territory... how did they become victims?"
Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!
Iron Riders roared in.
"Search for the two-handed sword scabbard!"
Many servants immediately began searching... In the He Family Stronghold's council hall:
The He Family Head's face was expressionless, his eyes closed in thought.
A group of He Family members argued fiercely.
"Chu Qing is too arrogant; he used a longsword to kill our people; he even deliberately threw away the weapon, making us personally deliver it!"
"Isn't this like him shitting on our heads?"
"Family Head, give the order, and the next time he comes out, we will dispatch our most skilled experts for a swift, decisive kill."
Someone said weakly, "Twenty Iron Riders were lost, He Qigou is dead, and even more servant Thugs died."
"It's better to resolve enmity than to foster it!"
"Why make an enemy?"
The Crowd argued endlessly.
After a long while, the He Family Head said coldly:
"I sent someone to retrieve that two-handed sword."
Some secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while others were furious.
They believed that the He Family Head intended to give the weapon back to Chu Qing.
The He Family Head continued:
"I wrote a letter to the rebels, asking them to send a skilled swordsman over."
"Other Fortified Manors will also send skilled swordsmen."
The Crowd was bewildered.
The He Family Head stood up, his eyes suddenly opening, and with Killing Intent permeating, he said, "The weapon that killed a Wubao Disciple must pierce the killer's body."
