Hero

"The human heart is sinister!"

Baili Qingfeng killed Bai Yang with a single sword strike, then wearily sat down on the grassy bank of the pond, closing his eyes. His entire worldview seemed to have been impacted like never before.

"I understood this principle long ago, but I never imagined that a person, a sect, could be so evil. That wickedness and brutality emanating from their very bones is simply refreshing the lower limits of humanity. My spirit has been severely devastated. I feel tired, fragile, helpless, and I miss my previous life so much... that peaceful environment far from evil!"

A long time passed...

A full half hour.

Baili Qingfeng stood up again, enlightened.

"The Iron Sword Sect is inherently brutal and wants to kill me. I can't understand them, so I'll just assume their brains aren't normal and they're not at fault. And for me to protect myself, to protect my family, killing them is also not wrong. But this matter is no longer just a private feud between me and the Iron Sword Sect, but involves a higher level of morality and ideology. Their existence lowers Xia's standards, lowers the moral standards of everyone in the world. In order to maintain world peace, in order to make the world a better place, therefore... I must destroy the Iron Sword Sect!"

Baili Qingfeng said.

His eyes gleamed.

"Although I am very scared now, very panicked, and my spirit is under great pressure, but... even if I am trembling with fear all over, I have to destroy the Iron Sword Sect. I remember hearing a saying, 'Are you going to be a coward for the rest of your life, or do you want to be a hero, even if it's only for a few minutes?' I don't want to be a hero. I'm just a good student who loves to study, not as noble and great as a hero, but in this life, there must be a moment when you suddenly make up your mind to do something that seems foolish and ridiculous to ordinary people..."

Baili Qingfeng picked up his sword, wiped the blood off it, and walked expressionlessly towards Green Water Manor a few hundred meters away.

After walking for a while...

He thought of something, stopped, and returned to the two cars, carefully examining them.

Soon, he found a small leather bag in the car. After opening the bag, it was filled with stacks of banknotes.

Baili Qingfeng counted them, twenty stacks, a total of two hundred thousand.

"Your actions have refreshed my worldview, and my spirit has been severely devastated, requiring urgent treatment. In addition, the Iron Sword Sect is in Daluo Province, more than four hundred kilometers away. It costs more than ten yuan to take the train. I'm going to uphold justice and act on behalf of heaven, so I can't pay for my own ticket... This bag is genuine leather, it should be able to sell for a few hundred yuan, just consider it my compensation. A hero shouldn't bleed, shed tears, and pay out of his own pocket..."

Baili Qingfeng put the bag away.

Then...

He continued towards Green Water Manor.

The conflict between Baili Qingfeng and the Iron Sword Sect's convoy occurred three or four hundred meters away. Due to the numerous ponds and high air humidity, the sound of the gun had diminished significantly by the time it reached Green Water Manor, and did not attract the attention of the people in Green Water Manor.

When he arrived in front of Hong Lie's villa, the lights in Hong Lie's villa were still on, but the door was not open.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock!"

"Who is it?"

A voice came from inside.

"Checking the water meter."

Baili Qingfeng said.

The person inside paused, but without suspicion, still opened the door.

As the door opened, the person inside used the light to see Baili Qingfeng clearly at first glance, and his pupils suddenly shrank: "It's you!?"

The next moment, he was about to slam the door shut.

But before he could close the door, Baili Qingfeng had already stepped out abruptly, his figure slightly bumping and swaying against the door, instantly throwing the door wide open. The person behind the door was knocked off balance by the energy transmitted through the door...

"Baili Qingfeng!"

The man shouted in fear, partly because...

He was frightened.

On the other hand, he was reminding the other two people in the villa.

"Bang!"

Baili Qingfeng stepped forward, without any fancy moves, and slammed into the man's body as he lost his balance.

The burly body carried a powerful impact, making the man feel as if he had been hit by a speeding car. He flew backwards six meters, crashing heavily onto the marble coffee table in the living room, blood splattering everywhere.

At this moment, another person rushed out from inside, a look of disbelief in his eyes when he saw Baili Qingfeng.

"Damn it!"

"Junior Brother Shi! Run!"

Before he could react, Hong Lie's voice suddenly came from behind.

The man named Shi, jolted awake, immediately ran towards the window, trying to break through it to escape, but...

The window was welded with stainless steel anti-theft bars.

This delay allowed Baili Qingfeng, man and sword as one, to swiftly arrive.

This time, he no longer showed mercy.

Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

Last time, he let Hong Lie and the others leave safely, almost leading to a disaster that could have wiped out his family. This was the best irony for his soft-heartedness!

If it weren't for his strong spirit and sudden premonition of danger, prompting him to come to Green Water Manor to investigate, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Chih!"

Blood splattered.

The man, who was at most a Level 2 Warrior, was killed by Baili Qingfeng's sword in a single exchange.

Then, his body moved like a shooting star, taking a few quick steps, and he rushed directly to the second floor. In a bedroom upstairs, Hong Lie's face was pale, looking as if he was seriously injured...

Hong Lie had been injured by him for several days, and he could barely get out of bed...

The Iron Sword Sect's healing medicine was ineffective.

Looking at Hong Lie, who had no power to resist, Baili Qingfeng shook the blood off his sword.

"Baili Qingfeng!"

Hong Lie looked at Baili Qingfeng, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and roared, "Baili Qingfeng, what do you want? Seeking revenge in the middle of the night? Could it be that your Bai Li family wants to start a war with our Iron Sword Sect?"

"On the way here, I killed your Iron Sword Sect's sect leader, an elder, and six experts."

That one sentence was…

Hong Lie's heart sank.

He knew!

Baili Qingfeng knew that their Iron Sword Sect wanted to deal with him, and had even struck first, killing the Sect Master and Elders!?

How was that possible!?

"You… impossible! This time, our Iron Sword Sect sent out all its experts. No matter how capable you are, how could you defeat so many experts from our Iron Sword Sect? You're lying!"

"I don't want to ask why anymore, nor do I want to answer your questions. I just want to know, where is Wang Gang?"

"I don't know!"

Hong Lie's brain worked quickly, and he quickly calmed down, saying in a deep voice, "Elder Wang went to meet an old friend and didn't travel with the convoy. However, we originally planned to rest for one night tonight and launch an operation against you and the Bai Li family tomorrow noon. Therefore, he will definitely return to Green Water Manor before tomorrow noon. But if you kill me, Elder Wang won't be able to contact all of us, and he will definitely become suspicious. Out of caution, he will return to the Iron Sword Sect as soon as possible. If you want to take revenge on Elder Wang then, you won't have this opportunity."

"He will return to the Iron Sword Sect?"

"That's right."

Hong Lie looked at Baili Qingfeng solemnly and said sincerely, "I know you have a feud with Elder Wang. This matter was caused by Elder Wang. Now he has brought such disaster to our Iron Sword Sect and must be severely punished. If you are willing to let me go, I can be responsible for keeping in touch with him, stabilizing him, and leading him to Green Water Manor, giving you a chance to kill him. And I also assure you that from now on, our Iron Sword Sect disciples will never step into Xia Ya again."

"No need…"

Baili Qingfeng had gotten the news that Wang Gang would cautiously return, and that was enough.

"Your Iron Sword Sect is a social tumor, scum of the martial world. Any person with lofty ideals has a duty to remove this tumor. Since Wang Gang will return to the Iron Sword Sect, I might as well kill two birds with one stone and solve him and the Iron Sword Sect together."

Hong Lie's breathing stagnated when he heard this, "You… you want to deal with our Iron Sword Sect!? Debts have debtors, Wang Gang has a feud with you, but what have the ordinary disciples of my Iron Sword Sect done wrong? You actually…"

Before Hong Lie could finish speaking, Baili Qingfeng suddenly drew his sword.

"Chih!"

The sword light flashed and pierced through Hong Lie's throat, and was pulled out in the next moment.

Blood splattered.
