Ideological Awareness

Looking at Wang Gang, who was unhesitatingly killed by Baili Qingfeng with a single sword strike, Wu Li and Mi Xiu's brows twitched fiercely.

Killing people...

Without even blinking an eye...

Adding to that, Baili Qingfeng's explosive entry, killing Wang Gang with the force of a thunderbolt, and the fierce aura mixed with the outburst of Spirit Refinement Manifestation...

This is definitely a ruthless person!

A ruthless person that even a top expert like Wang Gang couldn't withstand a single exchange against!

Although Wu Li considered himself to have considerable cultivation, being at the peak among Level 3 Warriors, he was still slightly inferior to Wang Gang. At least, if he and Wang Gang were to fight to the death, his chances of winning would be less than thirty percent.

Someone as strong as Wang Gang was killed by Baili Qingfeng in one move, and considering that Baili Qingfeng seemed to have killed the Iron Sword Sect Master, elders, and six great experts...

"Hoo!"

At this moment, Baili Qingfeng exhaled a long breath, withdrew the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Art, and then, the aftereffects of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Art kicked in. He looked visibly exhausted, seemingly unable to even stand steadily. He simply sat down on the ground next to Wang Gang's corpse, lost in thought.

Seeing this scene, hesitation flashed in Wu Li's heart.

After all, Wang Gang and he had some friendship, and he did rely on Wang Gang's guidance to touch the surface of Fist Intent. Now, Baili Qingfeng was clearly in a weakened state after using the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Art. If he were to attack, he could easily kill Baili Qingfeng, avenging Wang Gang and repaying the favor of Wang Gang's guidance in his Fist Intent...

But...

This Baili Qingfeng is so remarkable at such a young age, there must be some great power behind him. If he provokes a War-level powerhouse, he will truly be in a situation where he can't call for help.

To risk offending a great power for the sake of a dead man's favor...

Not worth it.

"This brother, please rest well here. I'll have one of my subordinates wait outside. If you need anything, just tell them. We'll take our leave and not disturb your rest."

Mi Xiu respectfully bowed to Baili Qingfeng, his voice trembling slightly.

Baili Qingfeng glanced at Mi Xiu: "I just used the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Art, and I'm indeed so weak that I don't even want to stand. Is it troublesome to borrow your place for a rest?"

"No, no, Mr. Bai Li can rest whenever he wants."

"I don't want what happened here to be spread."

"Mr. Bai Li, rest assured, what happened tonight will not be known by anyone else."

Mi Xiu quickly agreed.

Only after seeing Baili Qingfeng nod did he and Wu Li leave the private room together.

"Mi Xiu, this young man broke into your territory and killed someone, and it was Wang Gang, who we had some friendship with. Can you tolerate it? You've heard about the side effects of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Art, haven't you? If you want revenge, now is the best time."

After leaving the private room, Wu Li said to Mi Xiu.

"Revenge? What revenge? Whose revenge? What I said was not wrong. Wang Gang and I are just drinking buddies. Eating and drinking together on weekdays is enough. Do you expect me to kill for him?"

Mi Xiu lit a cigarette to calm himself down.

"This young man killed someone in your territory, which is a loss of face for you."

"How much is face worth?"

Mi Xiu forced a smile: "Besides, the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Art is a forbidden technique with huge side effects. Once used, he's pretty much done for. Why should we push him to the brink..."

Wu Li glanced at Mi Xiu. This Boss Mi was indeed very prudent.

Neither of them spoke again.

The somewhat dull atmosphere lasted for less than half an hour when a person suddenly came to Mi Xiu and whispered something.

Immediately, Mi Xiu stood up and quickly went to a window.

As he looked down through the window, he saw Baili Qingfeng, who had seemed too tired to even stand firmly not long ago, walking downstairs, intending to leave.

Seeing him acting and speaking normally, with a ruddy complexion...

Where was there any sign of injury or disability?

"How is that possible!? After using the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Art, how can he look like nothing happened? Other things can be faked, but his complexion can't be concealed. But looking at his complexion, there's no sign of serious injury at all. This is unscientific..."

Wu Li also came to the window, looking at Baili Qingfeng below, his face filled with disbelief.

"Perhaps... that wasn't the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Art at all, but a secret technique for explosive power with little or no side effects..."

"Then his weak appearance just now..."

Wu Li's pupils shrank slightly: "Was he trying to lure us into making a move?"

Mi Xiu nodded in fear, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

Even Wu Li felt terrified when he thought about it now.

If Baili Qingfeng wasn't actually weak, and the two of them wanted to take advantage of his weakness to avenge Wang Gang...

Given the power and ferocity he displayed when he instantly killed Wang Gang, their outcome would be no different.

Death...

Had just brushed past them!?

"This Baili Qingfeng is actually so..."

Wu Li frowned, wanting to say insidious, but considering the other party's strength, he didn't say the word after all: "So fierce..."

"We'll know how fierce he is soon enough."

Mi Xiu narrowed his eyes: "I've already sent people to Green Water Manor. Calculating the time, they've been gone for almost half an hour. News should be coming soon."

"Green Water Manor?"

Wu Li quickly realized something, his pupils shrinking slightly: "Confirm it?"

Mi Xiu nodded.

Soon another subordinate came to Mi Xiu and said in a deep voice: "Boss, we found them. Outside Green Water Manor, all eight members of the Iron Sword Sect, including the Iron Sword Sect Master and elders, are dead. Only one person made the move."

"Really dead?"

"Dead, and... according to our assessment, the time of death is no more than two hours."

"You mean to say, he killed eight members of the Iron Sword Sect, barely rested, and came straight to our Starlight Club?"

"Yes."

"Hiss!"

At this, Mi Xiu and Wu Li couldn't help but gasp.

It was actually true!

Baili Qingfeng's ability to kill Wang Gang had already made Wu Li extremely wary. Now, hearing that before that, Baili Qingfeng had single-handedly killed eight experts, including the Iron Sword Sect Master and elders...

Killing eight people in a row without a scratch, then entering Starlight and killing Wang Gang with all his might, and afterwards, his expression was normal as he calmly left...

"This... could he have reached War-level?"

"Even if he hasn't reached War-level, he's probably not far off."

The two looked at each other and saw the relief and lingering fear in each other's eyes.

Fortunately...

Fortunately, they hadn't acted presumptuously at the time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"What a scheming mind!"

"The key is... he looks so young... with ability, talent, ruthlessness, and a scheming mind, his future is limitless."

Mi Xiu let out a long breath.

Wu Li was silent for a moment, then said, "This kind of fierce person... we can't afford to provoke him... from now on, if I encounter him again, I'll go around him."

"Being trapped in darkness but still looking up to the light, I, Baili Qingfeng, can't do what Wang Gang did, rampaging and killing innocent people. Wang Gang and those people from the Iron Sword Sect are rotten to the core, beyond redemption, but I am essentially a kind and simple Xia'er University student. Just because the other two in the private room didn't show any killing intent towards me, I should beat them to death? I can't do that."

Leaving the Starlight Club, Baili Qingfeng faced his own heart.

The night in Xia Ya was quiet and peaceful.

Baili Qingfeng walked on the dark street, allowing his emotions to slowly calm down.

He shouldn't be blinded by killing and hatred. If he became a monster who only knew how to kill and solve problems with killing, then what difference would there be between him and Wang Gang and the Iron Sword Sect gang?

He and the Iron Sword Sect, Eddie and his son, Jiang Ziheng, and those people were ultimately different.

With this noble Ideological Awareness, Baili Qingfeng arrived at the train station and bought a train ticket to Miro City.

"As long as I destroy the Iron Sword Sect and completely eliminate the threat the Iron Sword Sect might pose to my family, I will not harm any innocent people again. I will not offend others unless they offend me. This is me, Baili Qingfeng."
