Where did this second-hand stuff come from?

To Commander Ji Meng, Zhong Qing was merely an ant-like existence.

In the past, he wouldn't even have bothered to glance at him.

However, now, he was too severely injured!

His Origin within his body was almost completely depleted.

More importantly, the pursuers behind him were hot on his heels, and he urgently needed some Medicinal Pills and precious medicines to recover from his injuries and replenish his emptiness.

Only then could he safely overcome this calamity.

Otherwise, given his current physical state, he absolutely wouldn't be able to escape far.

On the other side!

Zhong Qing was a bit bewildered.

He was just watching the show.

As he watched, the other party suddenly jumped out and threatened him.

“You, what did you just say?”

He incredulously dug at his ears.

A flash of Evil Qi flickered in Commander Ji Meng's eyes.

“Kid, since you don't know what's good for you, then I'll just take it myself!”

He waved his large hand, and terrifying murderous intent surged out. He was aiming for a kill-and-pillage, as he didn't have much time to waste.

Zhong Qing chuckled in anger.

“Where did this old bastard come from? Who gave you the right to demand Medicinal Pills from me?”

He backhanded a slap.

“Rumble…”

This slap was powerful and heavy, directly causing the Void Realm to collapse.

Commander Ji Meng initially didn't care much.

He just thought Zhong Qing was too green.

He didn't understand what he was facing at all.

With such a method, he couldn't even break his protective divine aura.

However, very quickly, his expression changed drastically.

Before he could even seize Zhong Qing, the latter's palm was already a step faster, striking his face.

In just an instant, his protective divine aura was directly shattered.

Not only that, the force of the opponent was like an ancient divine mountain.

It struck his body.

Powerful and heavy, irresistible.

“This, what kind of method is this?”

Commander Ji Meng's face was pale, and he felt his vitality being drained in an instant.

His body, like porcelain, exploded inch by inch.

“Ah… who exactly are you?”

Commander Ji Meng screamed in horror.

And this also became his final dying words.

“Boom…”

With a thunderous roar, Commander Ji Meng's entire body completely exploded.

He wouldn't have thought in his wildest dreams.

He, a dignified Myriad Laws Realm master, a Phoenix Feather Sect commander.

How extraordinary his status, how noble his position, yet he actually died directly at the hands of a passerby who looked like an ant.

This scene, though it takes long to tell, actually happened in an instant.

Zhong Qing glanced at Commander Ji Meng's exploded body, his lips curling slightly.

“A piece of trash, with so much screen time, yet he's gone, and still so many questions.”

The three people who were chasing Commander Ji Meng, upon seeing this scene, their pupils constricted, and their minds were greatly shaken.

What did they see?

A Myriad Laws Realm master was directly slapped to death.

Although the Central Continent had countless masters and strong Cultivators like rain.

But the Myriad Laws Realm, in this remote place, could still be called a master.

However, now, such a strong Cultivator actually died so ignominiously and casually.

After a long while, the three of them suppressed the shock in their hearts.

They came closer to Zhong Qing.

The leader stepped forward, cupped his fists towards Zhong Qing, and negotiated: “This scoundrel committed many evil deeds. To improve his own strength, he even attempted to slaughter a city to enhance his power.”

“His crimes are resented by both gods and men.”

“Fortunately, Sir made a move and suppressed this evil rogue here.”

“Otherwise, if he had escaped, who knows how many living beings would have suffered his poisoned hands. Perhaps the three of us would also have suffered his insane revenge.”

“I am Wu Zhao, thank you, Sir, for your assistance!”

Zhong Qing waved his hand.

“It was just a small matter, a mere flick of the wrist!”

“No need for thanks!”

As soon as these words came out, the three looked at each other.

Don't look at how their combined efforts made Commander Ji Meng flee in disarray.

But if they wanted to completely keep him, it would indeed be quite difficult.

Even if the opponent fought back desperately, it was not impossible for him to severely injure them, or even take one of them with him.

In their eyes, such a troublesome opponent, yet Zhong Qing now said it was just a small matter, a mere flick of the wrist?

The three opened their mouths, wanting to say something.

However, in the end, they realized that Zhong Qing was indeed speaking the truth.

He just slapped the person out of existence.

To him, this indeed could only be considered a small matter.

For a moment, the three were a bit sullen.

However, this also precisely showed Zhong Qing's extraordinary nature.

The three had the idea of befriending him.

Wu Zhao said to Zhong Qing: “May I ask, Sir, why you are passing through this place?”

“Though slaying Commander Ji Meng was merely a casual act for Sir, it resolved a major hidden danger for us.”

“If Sir is not in a hurry to travel, would you be willing to come to my residence for a banquet, so that we may express our gratitude?”

Facing this warm invitation, Zhong Qing did not refuse.

He said loudly: “This time, there is no urgent matter.”

“I entered the city this time just to get some wine.”

“May I ask if your residence has good wine?”

The three smiled.

Wu Zhao even said: “My residence may not have much else, but there's plenty of good wine.”

“I guarantee that Sir will drink to his heart's content.”

The group of four left with smiles.

Through their conversation, they exchanged names.

Among the three, Wu Zhao was clearly the leader, and the other two were named Zhong Ying and Cheng Qi respectively!

The three were sworn brothers.

Their identities were all Loose Cultivators!

They now lived in seclusion in Fenglai City.

The group walked together, entering the city.

The original Fenglai City, though quite small in size, was bustling and lively.

But after a battle involving a great Cultivator of the Myriad Laws Realm, half of the entire city was affected.

Looking around, cracks crisscrossed the ground, and one building after another collapsed, turning into ruins.

Black smoke rose from the ruins.

It was a scene of desolation and decay.

Seeing this, Wu Zhao sighed faintly and said: “We Cultivators cultivate longevity and enjoy freedom. However, there are always some people who misinterpret this definition. Relying on their powerful strength, they commit evil deeds, act recklessly, treat lives like grass, and treat the weak like ants.”

“This Commander Ji Meng truly deserved to die!”

Clearly, after a battle, even though they tried their best to restrain themselves, a considerable number of Mortals were still affected.

And there were countless living beings who died because of this conflict.

Despite this, many Mortals in the city kowtowed to the group in gratitude.

Clearly, they knew that if the three of Wu Zhao had not made a move, the entire city would have been massacred and blood-sacrificed.

“We, kowtow to the Immortal Masters for the great kindness of saving our lives!”

Throughout the city, there were countless expressions of gratitude such as these.

Seeing this, Zhong Qing's heart felt a pang.

No matter in what era, the weak are always in a state of being manipulated at any time.

He didn't have such noble sentiments to fight for the lives of the weak.

All he could do was to escape the identity of the weak.

To become one of the strong, capable of controlling his own life.

It was clear that the three were not in high spirits.

Although their cultivation was high, they had a righteous conviction in their hearts.

They would feel sad when they saw life wither.

They would feel uneasy when they saw injustice.

Seeing the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Zhong Ying, to lighten the mood, said to Zhong Qing: “Please forgive us, Sir. Our three brothers rose from humble beginnings, and we understand the difficulties of the common people even more. Seeing so many people lose their loved ones today, it's hard for us to let go.”

“It's not that we intentionally neglected Sir, please forgive us.”

Zhong Qing waved his hand.

“What's there to laugh at? Your characters are truly admirable.”

Speaking of which, Zhong Qing came from a peaceful modern society. He should have more tolerance and benevolence than the people of this world.

However, in the great dyeing vat of the modern world, most people lived as refined egoists.

For Zhong Qing, it was truly difficult to feel sympathy for unrelated people.
