Winning Over Blood Spear Ba Wei

"Heh heh... cough... you're here to kill me."

Hong Sheng's face turned deathly pale, and he chuckled softly.

"I didn't come specifically for you; we just happened to run into each other."

Qin Yan said calmly, "Now that we've met, there's no reason for you to live!"

"I never expected the imperial court to have a master like you. I'm quite curious, what benefits did those guys offer you to make someone like you risk your life for them!"

Hong Sheng was somewhat puzzled, while Ba Wei to the side, gripped his spear tightly, ready to fight at any moment.

"To serve the imperial court?"

Qin Yan chuckled softly, "It's not that I'd risk my life, it's just that I don't quite like you."

"I...?"

Hong Sheng was momentarily taken aback, his brows furrowing slightly. "How have I offended you, sir?"

"Because you were too stupid, allowing your men to burn, kill, and loot, and even though you knew, you never stopped them."

If you can really do what you say, maybe I'll even help you.

Unfortunately, you're just an idiot, a piece of trash.

As he spoke, Qin Yan's eyes flashed with chilling killing intent!

Swish!

Ba Wei attacked instantly, carrying the force capable of shattering an army, his spear aimed straight for Qin Yan's throat!

Clang...!

The blood-red jade-like palm blocked the fierce attack, instantly unleashing a terrifying shockwave.

The resulting impact shattered the entire tent!

You caught it with your bare hands?

Ba Wei looked shocked. Just as he was about to retract his spear, Qin Yan grabbed it with one hand.

At this moment, he felt as if he were facing a towering mountain, which he could not budge even slightly no matter how hard he tried.

Immediately afterwards, a tremendous force came, Ba Wei was lifted into the air.

Boom!

Qin Yan gripped the gun barrel and immediately swung it, smashing it into the ground.

His strength was immense; Ba Wei's entire body slammed into the ground, leaving a huge crater.

The earth trembled.

Pfft!

Ba Wei felt as if his internal organs had shifted and several bones in his body had been broken!

Qin Yan glanced at it indifferently!

Head straight for Hong Sheng!

"It seems you..."

Bang!

Hong Sheng's eyes widened, and blood continued to flow from his seven orifices.

Qin Yan slowly removed his hand from the other person's head.

"I've already wasted a lot of time talking to you, which is already a mercy."

I'll gladly accept your corpse.

Qin Yan collected the corpse and watched as the Taiping Army soldiers continued to surround him!

He gave a cold laugh!

He appeared in front of Ba Wei in an instant, grabbed the other man's neck, and lifted him into the air.

Bang!

Ba Wei was slammed to the ground again!

He coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Ba Wei looked at Qin Yan, a hint of doubt in his eyes. "Why didn't you kill me!"

"I've heard that you are a true chivalrous figure in the martial world, capable of killing the rich and heartless, and corrupt officials and bureaucrats!"

Tell me, why do you turn a blind eye to those who burn, kill, and loot within the Taiping Army?

"I did not turn a blind eye!"

Ba Wei was momentarily agitated. "I haven't let any of them escape."

"But the Taiping Army is full of wicked and unruly soldiers. Why haven't you killed them all? I don't believe that you, with your Supreme Grandmaster level, couldn't have detected it."

Qin Yan scoffed disdainfully!

Ba Wei's throat bobbed, unsure how to defend himself. Finally, he collapsed to the ground, laughing bitterly, "You're right. I know. Heavenly King Hong said he would rejuvenate the Taiping Army and make it the kingly army of the world!"

I know that, and I keep telling myself that everything will change.

But in the end, it was just wishful thinking on my part.

As he spoke, his voice gradually choked with emotion.

He thought he had chosen a wise ruler, but he realized he had made the wrong choice.

I've been deceiving myself all along!

Qin Yan watched quietly until everything returned to calm.

"Then, from today onwards, you will stay by my side."

Qin Yan looked at the other person, his tone calm.

"You...?"

Ba Wei looked at the mysterious figure shrouded in black and sneered, "What makes you think I'd be loyal to you, you cowardly coward?"

Qin Yan slowly removed his straw hat and mask.

A slightly handsome yet youthful face appeared before him.

"You...?"

Ba Wei was shocked. He never dreamed that the mysterious expert who had almost killed Hong Sheng with an arrow was so young!

"Let me reintroduce myself. My Qin Yan, the Count of Qinghe in the Great Li Dynasty!"

Qin Yan looked at the other person calmly.

"That's impossible!"

Ba Wei shook his head in disbelief, "You're definitely not Qin Yan. He's not even an adult yet, how could he possibly be Supreme Grandmaster?"

There are many incredible things in this world.

Qin Yan chuckled and said, "Who would have thought that just a year ago I was nothing but a penniless country bumpkin?"

I've climbed my way up from a humble villager to where I am today, and I've witnessed the bullying and tyranny of powerful figures!

I've also witnessed firsthand how corrupt officials are, accepting bribes and distorting the truth!

When I first joined the gang, I wanted to learn a few tricks from them.

That gang leader valued me highly and taught me everything he knew.

Do you know how I treated him?

Ba Wei paused for a moment, then shook his head to indicate that he did not know.

I killed him!

Qin Yan chuckled.

"What...?"

Ba Wei instantly. Killing one's master was a grave crime in the martial arts world, and it was shameful to everyone!

"Every bit of kindness he showed me was mixed with the blood of ordinary people; his gambling dens drove countless families apart."

Every one of his henchmen has someone else's blood on his hands.

Do I know what killing him would bring me?

But I don't care!

Qin Yan recounted his past, "Later, I joined the Demon-Suppressing Bureau to protect the peace of the people in this region."

The common people in this world have very simple demands: they just want to have enough to eat.

But even with such a simple request, those powerful families were unwilling to grant it to them!

I protected the safety of this corner of the land, but the entire Great Li Dynasty was corrupt from top to bottom.

Its demise is only a matter of time.

Since the world is vying for supremacy, why not me?

Qin Yan said calmly, "I keep climbing up to gain more power!"

I will overturn all of this and let all people live in peace and prosperity!

I knew what I wanted from the very beginning. Do you want to stay by my side?

Do you think my actions align with your chivalrous spirit?

As he spoke, Qin Yan extended his hand.

One person's strength should not instill fear in everyone.

If I want to change the world, I need some like-minded friends.

Are you willing?

Ba Wei was in a daze, and for some reason he reached out his hand.

I'll trust you this once.

Ba Wei snapped out of his reverie and slowly said, "If your actions are no different from Hong Sheng's, I will abandon you without hesitation."

"Nature!"

Qin Yan smiled.

He finally had a Supreme Grandmaster under his command, and it was ultimately beyond his power to handle the situation alone.

"Can I ask you another question?"

After a final, wriggling motion, Ba Wei asked.

"Explain!"

What would happen if I refused?

Qin Yan tilted his head and said without hesitation, "You will die, after all, you saw what I look like."

No one would let an enemy of Supreme Grandmaster escape!

Unless he's stupid!
