Not Enough Killing!

"My hand!"

Staring at his bare, bleeding wrist, Ye Qing's eyes filled with blood and nearly bulged out of their sockets.

This sudden turn of events shook everyone even more than Su Cheng's death. The commoners and city guards around them stared in bewilderment, nearly suffocating.

As they watched, a black shadow suddenly appeared. One hand caught the black wooden sword, while the other seized Ye Qing's severed hand as it flew through the air.

It was Qi Lin!

The young boy in black swept Ye Qing a look of utter contempt. "My family's sword—you think you're worthy of it, Ye Qing?"

As he spoke, he pulled a bronze ring off Ye Qing's bloodstained finger, then tossed the severed hand to the ground and stomped on it.

Crack! Crunch!

Qi Lin crushed the severed hand underfoot, flattening all five fingers. That showed just how much fury he had put into that stomp!

"You! You!"

Seeing his severed hand ground into bloody pulp, Ye Qing's eyes nearly split with rage!

But!

Qi Lin didn't even look at him. He slipped the bronze ring onto his own hand, then quickly took out another ice-crystal jade box, one that looked more luxurious.

He opened it and found another Ice Mystic Pill inside.

"Doctor He! What about this one?"

Doctor He had also been stunned for a moment. When he saw Qi Lin take out the new pill, he came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Forget whether it's real or fake. There's no time! Give it to her, quickly!"

Xiao Tao'er already had one foot through the gates of the underworld. How could there be time to tell whether it was real or fake?

Hearing that, Qi Lin wasted no words. He pressed the new pill into Xiao Tao'er's mouth and patted her back to make her swallow it.

As the pill went down her throat, it left a trail of frost. Everywhere it passed, the lumps on Xiao Tao'er's body, the searing blood flowing through her, and the flesh fire were swiftly frozen over!

"It's real! It's a fucking real pill!"

Doctor He let out a great shout, giving vent to the emotions in his heart.

The man had practiced medicine his entire life, yet now he too fell to his knees, weeping tears of joy that streamed down his aged face.

"That's wonderful!"

The thousands of Pingyang District commoners who had rushed over were also streaming tears and snot at the sight.

"Hah... hah..."

Xiao Tao'er's mother clutched her daughter's hand tightly, caring nothing for whether it was contagious. She gasped for breath, unable to get a single word out.

Only her gaze, fixed on Qi Lin, looked as though she were seeing a god.

"Bring me my Azure Soul Sword!"

A furious shout, blazing with hatred, shattered the calm.

Ye Qing had wrapped a strip of cloth around his bleeding wrist. He took a three-foot blade from one of his subordinates, gripped it in his left hand, and pointed it at Qi Lin. "I'll cut you to pieces!"

Boom!

True Essence surged through his body. Its force condensed into countless droplets of True Qi outside him, circling his body. The pressure swept across the scene, forcing the surrounding city guards to stagger backward.

This was the second level of the Mystic Sea Realm, Frost Descent!

True Essence descended upon the battlefield like frost!

Ye Qing was a whole level above Qi Lin to begin with. That was also why he had dared to come down and toy with him.

If not for the black wooden sword's strangeness, and his own lack of preparation, he truly would not have ended up in such a state!

A thirteen-year-old boy had cut off his hand and snatched his pill in public. If word got out, he would lose all face.

"Die!"

Veins bulged across Ye Qing's face. Like a streak of azure light, he came bearing down on Qi Lin, sword in hand and True Essence swirling around it.

Such might naturally frightened many people into screaming.

After all, Xiao Tao'er and Doctor He were both beside Qi Lin.

Hum!

But just then, Qi Lin had already turned into a black shadow and charged at Ye Qing first!

"All that True Essence, but can you use your left hand properly?"

Qi Lin moved nimbly, Heaven-Connecting and Prison-Suppressing True Essence surging through his body and forming golden-black sword Gang Qi around the black wooden sword!

Azure Gang Qi surged around Ye Qing's sword, its sharpness plain to see!

Clang!

The two clashed in the space of a lightning flash. Qi Lin attacked fiercely with several consecutive strikes, driving Ye Qing steadily backward.

"He's clearly a whole level below me...!"

After taking several sword strikes, Ye Qing's fury was cut in half, and fear welled up inside him.

But it was too late!

In the dark of night, the young boy closed in again!

Rip!

The black wooden sword in his hand slashed down. The combined divine might of Heaven-Connecting and Prison-Suppressing converged, and the sword bore down like a monstrous beast!

Clang!

Ye Qing cried out in pain. The Azure Soul Sword fell from his hand, and the web between his thumb and forefinger split open!

The next instant, Qi Lin turned and slashed, cutting away most of Ye Qing's left hand as well!

With only half a hand left, how could he hold a sword?

"Aaah!!"

Ye Qing froze for a moment, then let out another heart-rending scream.

"You're too noisy!"

Qi Lin kicked out, planting his foot straight in Ye Qing's mouth!

With a crack, all of Ye Qing's teeth fell out and lodged in his tongue and the inside of his mouth. Half his face caved in, and blood poured down.

Bang!

The back of Ye Qing's head struck the flagstones, sending another spray of blood flying. His whole body convulsed, and he was in too much pain even to cry out.

Compared with the airs he had put on while playing with the sword earlier, he had now fallen straight into hell.

He could not have been more miserable!

Even so, Qi Lin did not let him off.

He casually hung the black wooden sword at his waist, then picked up the Azure Soul Sword from the ground!

The sword was forged from Azure Soul Stone and was exceedingly valuable. It came with Gang Qi that pierced the soul. During their exchanges just now, Qi Lin had felt stabbing pain in his head each time, showing that it was a top-grade treasure, probably worth more than the Ice Mystic Pill!

Now it was Qi Lin's turn to play with Ye Qing's Azure Soul Sword!

He stepped forward, seized Ye Qing by his bloodstained lapels, and dragged him up like a dead dog. He pressed the Azure Soul Sword directly against his neck, and its edge immediately drew blood!

"Everyone, he used fake medicine to harm someone and tricked me out of my sword. I took his sword in return, paying him back in full. Any problem with that?" Qi Lin swept a cold gaze over all the city guards.

"What fucking problem?" After that heart-stopping ordeal, Han Yuan clapped his hands. "I'm with Qi Lin!"

Though he had taken the lead, few city guards actually dared to voice their agreement.

Clearly, these clever people all understood that Qi Lin had landed himself in serious trouble this time!

This was the son of the head of Mystic City's Thick Earth Division.

He wasn't Su Cheng!

And behind him stood the Universal Salvation Chamber of Commerce, which devoured people without spitting out their bones!

Faced with the scene before them, they could only be shocked by Qi Lin's forcefulness and courage... but they would never stand with him.

"Heh heh heh..."

Ye Qing spat out a few teeth, then suddenly grinned viciously. "You're finished. My family will be here soon, and you're going to die a horrible death."

"If it makes someone like you pay the price, what does it matter if I die?"

As Qi Lin spoke, he thrust the Azure Soul Sword straight into Ye Qing's mouth, drawing another piercing scream from him.

The city guards fell completely silent at the sight.

In truth, they agreed with what Ye Qing had just said...

It wasn't just Qi Lin. All the rootless duckweed in Pingyang District had long since been sentenced to death.

"Doctor He."

Qi Lin dragged Ye Qing straight over to Xiao Tao'er. "How is she?"

Doctor He said in a trembling voice, "Thank heaven and earth, her life should be saved. She'll need to recover slowly from here."

"Then please, everyone, take Xiao Tao'er back to recuperate first," Qi Lin said.

"All right." Doctor He looked at Qi Lin with worry. "What about you, child?"

In his eyes, Qi Lin really was just a child... yet he had shouldered everything.

Hearing this, Qi Lin looked beyond the city guards. In that direction, a large group of Mystic City's true experts were thundering toward them like monstrous beasts in the night!

"I haven't killed enough yet."
