Don't Be Afraid, I'm a Good Person

As he brushed past Chu Sheng, the woman lowered her voice.

"Hehe, little brother, help your sister get through this ordeal, and I'll definitely repay you properly someday."

The burly man behind her was at the Opening Meridian Triple Layer. She could not beat him, so she had no choice but to resort to this.

As for whether this youth could explain himself clearly, that was no longer something she could consider.

Yet just as she was about to continue fleeing, she felt an icy chill in her right leg.

Pfft—

The woman instantly lost her balance and fell face-first onto the ground.

She propped herself up in disbelief, lowered her head, and saw nothing but a bloody mess.

The woman froze for two seconds before letting out a heart-rending wail.

"Aaaahhh—!!!"

Her right leg was gone!

Refuse to carry an undeserved blame, refuse to be a human shield, resolutely defend justice, never compromise!

Justice Points +200

This scene left the burly man staring dumbly as well.

Chu Sheng spread his hands.

"I don't even know her. She wanted to use me as a human shield, so I had no choice but to do this."

"Uh..."

He had gone that far just to avoid taking the blame. The burly man had no choice but to believe him.

Besides, there had been something strange about Chu Sheng's slash just now.

He had not even seen it clearly.

It had been far too fast.

Fortunately, Chu Sheng was only at the Opening Meridian Double Layer, so there was no need to fear him.

After all, his own Opening Meridian Triple Layer cultivation was right there.

"I believe you, friend. This has nothing to do with you anymore. You can leave."

"One matter at a time. Her trying to dump the blame on me is over, but don't you still have matters between yourselves?"

Chu Sheng smelled the scent of justice in this.

As a defender of justice, Chu Sheng could not let any chance to uphold justice slip by.

The burly man was stunned. Chu Sheng had truly confused him.

You had already crippled this woman, and now you wanted to meddle in someone else's business?

Brother, whose side were you even on?

"Friend, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. This is a grudge between her and me."

Seeing that the burly man did not answer directly,

Chu Sheng looked at the woman. "Stop howling."

The woman ignored him, still sobbing and crying about how her leg was gone.

Chu Sheng casually slapped her.

"Who can you blame for losing your leg? Why don't you think about your own reasons?"

"You just had to owe someone that little bit."

"Who the hell do you think you are? You dared to use me as a human shield?"

If it had been the original owner of this body, this woman would definitely have succeeded.

The original owner's fate was easy to imagine. There was an eighty percent chance she would have gotten him killed.

Chu Sheng had never cared for the cliché of a hero saving a beauty.

He cared even less for women. Too much damn trouble.

The woman finally came to her senses.

With tears in her voice, she said, "Little brother—"

Slap—

Chu Sheng gave her another slap. "Don't randomly claim relations. Get to the point."

Only then did the woman obediently say, "He took a fancy to the Blood Spirit Fruit on me and wanted to snatch it. He's at the Opening Meridian Triple Layer, and I can't beat him, so I could only run."

The burly man roared, "Nonsense! I discovered that Blood Spirit Fruit first. You only picked it before I did!"

"Who told you not to pick it!? I picked it, so it's mine."

"Fuck your mother, it wasn't even ripe yet when you picked it! You still have the nerve to say that?"

The Blood Spirit Fruit could raise one's blood qi slightly. It had no significant side effects and did not conflict with Blood Qi Pills.

It was worth tens of thousands of Federal Currency.

It was one of the few precious products found in this Earth Abyss.

Listening to both sides argue back and forth, each believed the Blood Spirit Fruit should belong to them.

Chu Sheng suddenly got an idea.

"Hey, I have a solution."

"Why not just give the Blood Spirit Fruit to me? Then you won't have to fight over it anymore."

At those words, both sides froze.

The burly man's gaze toward Chu Sheng grew increasingly unfriendly.

"You're not joking, are you?"

"What do you think?" Chu Sheng grinned.

"You're only at the Opening Meridian Double Layer. Do you really think I'm afraid of you!?"

"I'd like to see where you got the nerve."

Veins bulged across the burly man's palm. He clenched the long saber in his hand, his footsteps stirring the wind as he closed in on Chu Sheng.

He intended to end this quickly.

If anyone else was drawn over, things would truly become troublesome.

With one slash, the phantom of a black tiger pounced straight at Chu Sheng.

A mid-grade Profound-rank martial technique, the Black Tiger Saber Technique.

This was a move that could only be unleashed once the technique had reached Major Accomplishment.

From beginning to end, the burly man had merely been wary of Chu Sheng.

He had never reached the point of fearing him.

Having practiced the saber for twenty years, he did not believe Chu Sheng's mastery could surpass his own.

However, in the next instant,

he caught a glimpse of Chu Sheng shifting his body aside. As he evaded the strike, he turned with his saber in hand and pressed it down horizontally from above.

The burly man did not understand what kind of move this was.

Instead of attacking him, Chu Sheng was attacking his weapon?

What did that mean?

The next second,

Clang—

A crisp sound rang out.

The burly man's long saber instantly snapped into two pieces like an icicle.

"Ha!?"

The burly man was utterly stunned. Both sabers were first-rank weapons, and his was the Red Scale Saber, famous for its hard material.

How could it be severed with a single strike by the seemingly light Azure Edge Blade?

Time did not allow him to think further.

The Azure Edge Blade swept upward in a diagonal slash, carrying a piercing howl through the air.

Shk—

The burly man's clothes were torn open in an instant, blood spraying out like a gushing spring.

The burly man's eyes widened round.

Because what had wounded him was not the saber, but saber qi even sharper than the blade.

He recognized it as the Spirit Wind Saber Technique,

but he could not understand how Chu Sheng could use this move.

Wasn't this something that could only be used at Perfection?

How old was he?

He had painstakingly cultivated the Black Tiger Saber Technique for twenty years and had only barely reached Major Accomplishment.

What gave Chu Sheng the right to cultivate the Spirit Wind Saber Technique of the same rank to Perfection?

Killed a lawless villain

Justice Points +400

From start to finish, less than five seconds had passed.

The burly man fell, his face full of unwillingness.

Chu Sheng calmly sheathed his saber.

Although it was his first time killing someone, he unexpectedly felt no discomfort at all.

Nor did he carry any psychological burden.

Watching Chu Sheng kill the burly man in two slashes, the woman on the ground was so terrified that her soul nearly fled her body.

When she saw Chu Sheng's gaze fall upon her,

the woman hurriedly pulled out the Blood Spirit Fruit from her pocket. "Don't... don't kill me."

"Don't be afraid, I'm a good person."

Just as the woman rejoiced that she had saved her life, Chu Sheng's tone suddenly shifted.

"Unfortunately, you aren't..."

If it had been the original owner of this body, he would have long since been tricked to death by this woman.

No matter how one put it, she was an evil person too!

Then she deserved to die!!

After ending the woman with one slash, Chu Sheng took the Blood Spirit Fruit and left the Earth Abyss directly.

Killed an evil person who wanted to drag him into the mire

Justice Points +300

This trip to the Earth Abyss had brought gains far beyond his expectations.

1,700 Justice Points, plus a Blood Spirit Fruit.

Chu Sheng decided that he would have to visit such a good place often in the future.

After returning home, he swallowed the Blood Spirit Fruit in a single bite.

His blood qi did improve,

but he was now faced with a new problem.

After taking the Meridian-Opening Pill and raising his cultivation, the Hundred Segment Breathing Method could no longer keep up.

With his current true qi reserves, once his true qi was exhausted, it would take an entire day to fully recover.

"I have to get a more advanced breathing method as soon as possible..."

Early the next morning, Chu Sheng had just arrived at the martial arts classroom.

Before he could push open the door to the private training room,

a hand reached out and stopped him.

It belonged to a young man with an exceptionally resolute face.

How should he put it? At first glance, the young man looked somewhat burdened by bitter hatred.
