"What? You want us to leave?"
"What a big mouth! I've been in the martial arts world for decades, and I've never met anyone so arrogant. I'd like to see what you can do to make me leave!"
"There's no one named 'Zhang Yun' in the martial arts world. Someone who popped out of nowhere dares to be so arrogant?"
"Steward Fang, since this brat is speaking so disrespectfully, don't blame us for being impolite..."
Hearing "Zhang Yun's" arrogant words, the more than twenty martial artists in the hall were all furious.
Some even drew their weapons, ready to teach "Zhang Yun" a lesson.
Ji Qing looked around. He stopped talking and slowly reached out to grip the hilt of his saber.
The moment he gripped the hilt.
"Boom."
A terrifying aura erupted.
In the eyes of everyone in the hall, "Zhang Yun" had disappeared, seeming to have transformed into a sharp, gleaming saber.
Even just feeling a trace of the aura felt like being cut.
At that moment, the hall fell silent.
All the previous clamor vanished instantly.
You could hear a pin drop in the entire hall.
"Blade Momentum... you are Ji..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly covered his mouth, as if he had realized something. His voice trembled as he said, "Great Hero Zhang, my apologies, I will leave now..."
This was an old man, even leaning on a cane, but he was able to withstand Ji Qing's Blade Momentum, turn around with difficulty, and leave the Fang residence shakily.
A name precedes the man!
The others had clearly realized something as well.
Fear appeared on all their faces.
They no longer dared to show any righteous indignation.
One by one, they shamefully turned and left the Fang residence.
In the blink of an eye, the entire hall was empty.
The more than twenty martial artists had all left the Fang residence, leaving only three people behind.
Steward Fang was not a martial artist and didn't know what had happened.
But seeing so many martial artists not even dare to utter a harsh word to "Zhang Yun" and leave so dejectedly, Steward Fang, through his keen observation, naturally understood that "Zhang Yun's" identity was likely extraordinary.
"You're still not leaving?"
Ji Qing said calmly.
These three who remained were not simple.
The fact that they could withstand Ji Qing's Blade Momentum for so long meant they were definitely Second-Rate Martial Artists.
"Steward Fang, did you invite people from Listening Wind Tower in Anyang City?"
The leader of the three suddenly spoke.
He had actually "revealed" Ji Qing's identity in one go.
"Hero Wang, this... I was thinking of my daughter. Besides, you are all from Listening Wind Tower, you wouldn't mind, would you?"
Steward Fang also nodded and admitted it.
Ji Qing thought for a moment and immediately understood the identities of these three.
They were from Listening Wind Tower in Copper City, otherwise, they wouldn't have known that Ji Qing came from Listening Wind Tower in Anyang City.
"Alright, Shopkeeper Yu has good methods, actually inviting 'Great Hero Ji,' we admit defeat and leave!"
The three cupped their fists towards Ji Qing and then left the Fang residence.
Steward Fang's eyes became even more eager upon seeing this.
These three were the "aces" of Listening Wind Tower in Copper City.
They were so respectful to "Zhang Yun"?
That meant "Zhang Yun" was even stronger!
Ji Qing also fell into thought.
He hadn't expected that he could now make three Second-Rate experts retreat solely on the basis of his "reputation."
He could also make over twenty martial artists flee in disarray, not even daring to utter a harsh word.
This was his current reputation in the martial arts world.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he "Shook the Martial Arts World"!
After the battle with Du Chen in Anyang City, Ji Qing was now truly shaking the martial arts world.
Who could contend with Ji Qing if a top-tier master didn't appear?
As for retaliation?
Or notifying the government authorities?
Ji Qing feared them even less.
If the government authorities could arrest him, they would have done so long ago, why wait until now?
Even if someone reported that the great demon "Ji Qing" was in Copper City now, the Copper City government authorities would likely pretend not to know.
"Steward Fang, can you ask Miss Fang to come out now?"
Ji Qing asked.
"This... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. I'll have to ask Hero Wang to personally go and take a look."
"Lead the way."
Thus, Steward Fang led Ji Qing to the backyard.
In Miss Fang's "boudoir" in the backyard, Ji Qing saw many maidservants and old women.
Miss Fang was tied to a chair with her hair disheveled.
Her expression was ferocious and bizarre, making one's blood run cold at the sight.
"How did Miss Fang end up like this?"
Ji Qing asked.
"It's a long story. My daughter insisted on going to the mountains to play. There are many strange caves in our mountains, and many people go to play in them. But after my daughter went to the mountains, she became increasingly erratic upon her return."
"At first, we thought she had hysteria, and then we invited many famous doctors to treat her, but it was all to no avail. Later, a reclusive figure from the martial world said it might be the work of demons, which is why we thought of inviting people from the martial world to deal with the demons."
"But the demons weren't eliminated, and my daughter only got worse. Now, not only is she erratic, but she also self-harms. She needs maidservants and old women to watch her at all times, and she is aggressive towards people."
After Steward Fang finished speaking, he wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeve.
He only had one son and one daughter.
This daughter had been his treasure since childhood.
He never expected her to turn out like this, and it pained him to look at her.
"Buzz."
At that moment, the Demon Record in Ji Qing's mind vibrated violently.
Ji Qing immediately understood that this was the reaction to encountering a demon.
It seemed that Miss Fang had indeed become like this due to the work of demons.
Ji Qing had encountered demons before, and most of the time he would charge forward and fight them.
But how could he act now?
The demon was inside Miss Fang.
To solve the problem once and for all, it was actually very simple: just kill Miss Fang with one strike.
But Steward Fang would probably not agree.
It was indeed very difficult to force out the demon while keeping Miss Fang alive.
Martial artists had also come to see.
Things like internal energy and threats would definitely not work.
So, Ji Qing said to everyone, "You all step back."
The maidservants and old women all retreated behind Ji Qing.
"Miss Fang," who had been completely still moments ago, suddenly looked up at Ji Qing, a strange smile appearing on her lips.
Ji Qing reached out and gripped the hilt of his sword.
"Boom."
Blade Momentum was unleashed.
Ji Qing seemed to have transformed into a blade, his sharpness fully revealed.
It was as if he was invisibly cutting Miss Fang.
Blade Momentum was a purely spiritual power.
Any being with a spirit could feel the Blade Momentum.
As soon as the Blade Momentum was unleashed, Steward Fang, the maidservants, and the old women all felt their faces turn pale, their hearts filled with immense fear.
As for Miss Fang, she was even more targeted by Ji Qing's Blade Momentum.
Nearly ninety percent of the Blade Momentum's pressure fell upon Miss Fang.
"Ah..."
"Martial artist... you can't kill me..."
Miss Fang let out some sounds.
She spoke haltingly, just like an infant who couldn't yet speak.
But her eyes were incredibly ferocious, not at all like those of a human woman.
They were more like those of a wild beast.
Ji Qing immediately understood that the Blade Momentum had an effect, but not enough to make the demon voluntarily leave Miss Fang's body.
"If you don't come out, then die!"
Clang.
Ji Qing drew his blade.
The blade light flashed, reaching Miss Fang's head almost instantly.
