What does it mean to kill someone and destroy their heart?

The Flying Knife Sect Grand Elder would never have imagined that a mere low-born child of commoners would possess such heaven-defying luck, being able to invite such a powerful individual to stand up for him.

At the same time, Zhong Qing’s gaze fell upon the Flying Knife Sect Grand Elder.

The latter felt that emotionless gaze.

He was so frightened he trembled like a quail.

Under the threat of death, his survival instinct made him beg for mercy.

“Senior… Senior, don’t kill me!”

“I know I was wrong!”

“I didn’t want Su Ye’s parents to die either!”

“And if I had taken Su Ye in back then, how could he have had this opportunity to become a disciple of a senior like you?”

“Counting it, I actually showed him kindness!”

Zhong Qing was disgusted by his face.

Such a person, living one more second, was an insult to the air.

He immediately struck with a single palm, directly shattering the other party’s Dantian and crippling his cultivation.

He threw him onto the ground like a dead dog.

“Disciple, this person is yours to deal with!”

“Thank you, Master!”

Su Ye stepped forward.

He walked directly in front of the Flying Knife Sect Grand Elder.

A fierce glint flickered in his eyes.

Even with his Dantian shattered and cultivation destroyed,

The Flying Knife Sect Grand Elder still hadn’t given up on the desire to live.

Like a maggot, he wriggled his body and hugged Su Ye’s foot, wailing.

“Su Ye, Su Ye, I know I was wrong!”

“Your parents’ deaths had nothing to do with me.”

“You can’t kill me; counting it, I showed you kindness!”

“Without me, you wouldn’t have had this opportunity to take such a powerful person as your master.”

“I showed you kindness, kindness!”

At this moment, his mind was already in disarray.

He was like a madman, constantly repeating that he had shown Su Ye kindness.

Below him, a wet patch appeared; he had been scared so badly he urinated himself.

They say that in the face of death, no one can remain calm.

But to be so afraid of death to this extent was truly rare.

Facing the Flying Knife Sect Grand Elder’s tearful pleas for mercy, Su Ye showed no softness.

His parents’ faces and voices kept appearing in his mind; if he had known earlier that the Flying Knife Sect Grand Elder was such an ungrateful person, how would his parents have died?

His killing intent grew even stronger.

“Boom…”

As he stomped his foot, the Flying Knife Sect Grand Elder’s skull was directly crushed.

He was stomped to death with one kick!

“Father, Mother, your old ones’ revenge, your child has settled half of it today!”

“Rest assured, your old ones, your child will definitely not let go of those who once harmed you.”

After doing all this, Su Ye kowtowed three times towards the west with loud thuds.

The hatred that had been suppressed in his heart for so long was finally released.

And as he avenged his great grudge, his heart inexplicably felt empty.

He even showed signs of breaking through to a new realm.

Seeing this, Zhong Qing said to the high-ranking members of the Flying Knife Gate, “Didn’t you see that my disciple is about to break through? Why aren’t you quickly preparing a secret chamber with abundant spiritual energy for him to use for his breakthrough?”

Everyone: “…”

Are these human words?

One moment he kills their sect’s Flying Knife Sect Grand Elder in front of them, the next he tells them to prepare a secret chamber for a breakthrough.

What, does he think this place is his own home?

Zhong Qing raised an eyebrow: “What, do you have an opinion?”

Swept by his gaze, everyone shivered in unison.

“No, no, I’ll go arrange it right away!”

Sect Master Dugu Feng’s eyebrow twitched, feeling utterly aggrieved.

What is called killing and punishing the heart? This is truly killing and punishing the heart!

However, circumstances were stronger than people.

In the face of absolute power, even with a thousand dissatisfactions and ten thousand unwillingness, all they could do at this moment was to submit.

“Oh, and arrange a place for me to stay, too.”

Zhong Qing added: “To kill your Flying Knife Sect Grand Elder, I traveled thousands of miles to get here.”

“Now I’m tired, so I’ll rest here for a night and leave after my disciple breaks through.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes turned red.

He really did treat this place as his own home!

But circumstances were stronger than people.

Dugu Feng could only grit his teeth and agree.

As for why Zhong Qing acted this way, firstly, he was thoroughly disgusted by the people of the Flying Knife Gate.

He didn’t mind treating them the same way they treated others.

Secondly, Su Ye indeed needed a place filled with spiritual energy to break through.

Although he could place him in his Small World to cultivate.

But the Small World rewarded by the system was in a very primitive and nascent stage.

Although it had various miraculous properties, the total amount of spiritual energy within it was not enough to support Su Ye’s breakthrough.

This night was destined to be an unquiet one for the Flying Knife Gate.

Many high-ranking members of the Flying Knife Gate guarded outside the secret chamber, protecting Su Ye.

Since the Flying Knife Gate was founded, who had ever deserved such a lineup for a breakthrough?

Yet now an enemy had achieved it.

Not only that, but each of the Flying Knife Gate’s high-ranking members was quite attentive, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

They were afraid that some accident might occur, causing Zhong Qing, that malevolent star, to go berserk.

This feeling, don’t even mention how maddening it was!

…

The next morning!

Zhong Qing stretched lazily and got up from the Sect Master’s sleeping quarters.

This sleep was exceptionally comfortable.

Little Su Ye was already waiting outside the door.

Now, he had successfully broken through a minor realm with the help of the Flying Knife Gate’s resources.

From the early Chen Xuan Realm, he broke through to the mid Chen Xuan Realm, and with Little Su Ye’s breakthrough, Zhong Qing received cultivation in return, naturally making great progress as well.

It’s worth mentioning that the secret chamber Su Ye used for his breakthrough originally belonged to the Flying Knife Sect Grand Elder.

This feeling of using resources that originally belonged to an enemy to boost one’s own strength was truly exhilarating.

Master and disciple met.

Behind them followed a group of high-ranking members of the Flying Knife Gate.

Sect Master Dugu Feng of the Flying Knife Gate said with an unpleasant expression: “Senior, you’ve killed the person, and your disciple’s cultivation has successfully broken through. You said you wanted to stay at my Flying Knife Gate for one night, and we’ve arranged that too.”

“Now, can you leave?”

He almost had “not welcome” carved on his forehead.

Zhong Qing, however, said unhurriedly: “What’s the rush?”

“Does your esteemed sect not even arrange a meal for guests in the early morning?”

This action wasn't very harmful, but it was extremely insulting.

The eyes of the high-ranking members all turned red.

You?

You have the nerve to call yourself a guest!

Each of them held boundless anger in their hearts, yet dared not express it in the slightest.

“Someone, bring a table of delicious food for Senior!”

Dugu Feng closed his eyes with a resigned look.

He just hoped to send this malevolent star away as quickly as possible.

Soon, a table of exquisite dishes was presented.

Zhong Qing was not in a hurry; just like in his own Mufu Peak, after unhurriedly washing up, he then motioned for Su Ye to slowly sit down, and they began their breakfast, exclusive to master and disciple.

Under the Flying Knife Gate members’ green-faced waiting, the two ate and drank their fill after a very long time.

They originally thought Zhong Qing would leave immediately.

Who knew that after breakfast, Zhong Qing took out a tea set, boiled a pot of tea, and began to savor it.

Only when the oily taste in his mouth had dissipated and he felt refreshed, did he slowly stand up and leisurely depart with Su Ye.

Watching the two leisurely walk away.

An elder gritted his teeth, blood even starting to seep from the corners of his mouth.

“Too much, this is truly too much!”

“This person has humiliated our sect like this; are we just going to let it go?”

He felt humiliated!

This kind of grievance, even if all the waters of the three rivers and four seas were poured out, could not wash it clean.

“Otherwise?”

Another elder’s gaze was profound.

“If we don’t let it go, then what do you plan to do?”

A Peak Master spoke faintly, and his single sentence directly silenced the previously angry elder.

Finally, he sighed long and sorrowfully, shedding tears in the main hall, saying: “Our strength is inferior, what can we do!”

Upon hearing this, a sense of sorrow instantly permeated the main hall.
