Kill the Body and Crush the Spirit

He had no intention of leading the common people to rebel, overthrow the Orwell Empire, or dismantle the aristocratic class; that would have been meaningless to Qin Chu.

All he wanted was chaos.

The more chaotic things are, the less likely anyone will notice you.

The same applies to the Magic Creature. Originally, the eldest and second princes were the strongest among the many Magic Creature. In the end, the second prince realized the situation and chose to submit to the eldest prince, so there was not much internal strife among the Magic Creature.

Now Qin Chu insists on supporting Ramon, causing ripples to spread across the calm surface of the Magic Creature's inner lake. If Ramon truly has the ability, perhaps he can turn these ripples into a tsunami.

At that time, humanity will be in chaos due to the conflict between commoners and nobles.

The Magic Creature were also in complete chaos as they vied for the position of heir.

Ironically, the leaders of the common people are grateful for Qin Chu's past help and guidance, while the nobles rely on the Hero.

On the Magic Creature' side, the Seventh Prince considers himself his most important partner.

Nobody knew that this Hero sir was actually the one stirring up trouble everywhere!

Just thinking about that scene is amusing.

But before that, let's deal with Ronald first.

The young nobleman was curled up in a ball, trembling uncontrollably, his eyes wide open and unfocused.

In his mind's eye, he seemed to see something—countless ferocious, grotesque Magic Creature rushing towards him—and he couldn't help but scream.

It felt like I had returned to the deepest part of hell.

He screamed at the top of his lungs like a madman.

Qin Chu wasn't in a hurry. He quietly stood aside and watched, wanting to see just how far Ronald would fall from grace.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but Ronald seemed to finally realize that what he was seeing was just an illusion, and his mind calmed down a little.

Then he was surprised to find that he was no longer in a cage surrounded by bars, but in a jungle.

There were no Magic Creature watching from the surrounding area.

Although the exact reason is unknown, it seems that he has finally escaped from that cage.

In that instant, Ronald was overcome with grief.

Just think about who he is—a distinguished young nobleman, a member of the Hero's Party! What an honorable status he holds, and how formidable his strength is!

Normally, those Magic Creature would tremble with fear and shudder at the sight of him, terrified that if they were even a little slow, they would lose their lives.

But now, it's like being a caged monkey surrounded by so many Magic Creature.

They even had to endure cruel torture like that of Magic Creature. All their dignity, all their glory, all their pride had vanished in the preceding days. Even the lowly commoners of the Orwell Empire, or even the beggars on the street, would not have suffered such humiliation as they had.

Then he thought of how that bastard Ramon had completely shattered his Battle Qi, and how that guy had even directly destroyed his Battle Origin.

A lifetime of arduous self-cultivation, all gone in vain.

For a swordsman, this might be the most painful and unacceptable ending.

Battle Origin is shattered, it becomes extremely difficult to cultivate again. Even if one dedicates their entire life to it, they probably cannot reach their former level.

Having been at the pinnacle of heaven, he suddenly plummeted to the deepest depths of hell. The stark contrast between then and now overwhelmed Ronald, who covered his face with his hands and wept bitterly.

Anyway, there's no one else here, so no one will see me crying in such a pathetic state.

He was shivering, his arms wrapped around his shoulders, just like a girl.

Even the kind-hearted Qin Chu couldn't bear to look at that sight.

He kindly handed her a tissue. "Oh, poor thing, don't cry, don't cry, wipe your tears, it's all over now."

"Oh, thank you," Ronald said instinctively, taking the tissue and wiping away the tears on his face.

Then Ronald suddenly realized that there were other people present.

Because he had no more Battle Qi left in his body, he didn't even notice the others approaching.

Ronald opened his eyes with some confusion. His mind was still a mess, and his consciousness and spirit were still very disordered. He could only see a tall, handsome young man standing in front of him.

Of course, when it comes to looks, Ronald is confident that he is better than him.

This mysterious young man puzzled Ronald. Although he was already in a very sorry state, Ronald still tried his best to maintain his last shred of dignity.

He ran his hand through his almost sparse hair, then stood up and bowed gracefully to Qin Chu: "Sir, did you save me?"

"May I ask which noble family you belong to? I will certainly pay you a visit another day."

Ronald spoke elegantly.

But his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

He appears to have escaped from the Magic Creature's territory, but his problems are not yet fully resolved... His Battle Origin has been destroyed, leaving him a cripple.

But as long as he is alive, even if he has lost his power, as a former member of the Hero's Party, he can still enjoy the highest level of treatment in the Empire and live a worry-free life in the future.

However, if what he experienced in the Demonic Beast Territory were exposed, he would become a complete laughingstock.

People might even feel that he is a disgrace, and that disgrace will persist as long as he lives. Then one day, he might suddenly die of illness, or perhaps he'll commit suicide because he can't cope with the situation...

As a person of this world, Ronald anyone how corrupt and filthy this world is.

Therefore, everything he experienced must be kept as the most important secret for the rest of his life and never be exposed... If it was really this person who saved him, then he must also know what he had experienced in the Magic Creature's territory.

To keep this a secret, the only option is to kill him...

This world is corrupt and filthy, and so is Ronald.

A surge of intense killing intent welled up in Ronald's chest, but then he remembered that he was now a cripple, unable to do anything. Since the man before him had rescued him from the Demonic Beast Territory, he must be quite powerful, right?

He felt a wave of discouragement; he simply didn't have the ability to kill this person. Although he couldn't sense any fluctuations of Battle Qi or magic from this person.

Qin Chu observed the change in Ronald's eyes and sneered inwardly. Sure enough, even without the betrayal, Ronald was definitely not a good person.

Qin Chu suddenly felt that Ronald's experiences in Ramon's Territory weren't enough; he should enjoy himself for a few more days.

Although he was inwardly mocking, Qin Chu didn't show it on his face. He simply tilted his head and smiled, "A nobleman? Ah no, I'm not a nobleman."

"I'm just a passerby."

Not even a nobleman?

Ronald's eyes held a hint of disdain; after all, in this world, only nobles were considered human.

"Besides, it wasn't me who saved you. I just saw you lying in this forest and woke you up as I was doing so," Qin Chu said.

Ronald breathed a sigh of relief.

Could it be that the Magic Creature thought he was dead and dumped him in the forest as a corpse? It's quite possible. Although humans are just food to Magic Creature, he was filthy and smelly at that time, so even Magic Creature might not have been willing to eat him.

Unexpectedly, those filthy traces actually saved my life.

So he can't be considered his savior at all; he did nothing.

He probably doesn't know what he experienced in the Demonic Beast Territory either.

This put Ronald at ease, but just to be on the safe side, he still needed to get rid of this person.

He's just a passerby, not a nobleman, and doesn't possess powerful Battle Qi or magical fluctuations. Although I'm a cripple now, I still have combat experience, so killing him shouldn't be too difficult.

In conclusion, Ronald will not leave any possibility of leaking information.

As Ronald's malicious thoughts swirled in his mind, he said, "Oh, really? Even so, I still have to thank you..."

His tone had unconsciously taken on a hint of Pride.

Qin Chu didn't mind, and just smiled slightly, "By the way, what did you just say about not being able to eat anymore?"

Vomit!

Upon hearing this, Ronald's face immediately turned extremely pale, his stomach churned violently, and he felt an urge to vomit violently again. This damned guy reminded him of very unpleasant memories.

Then he suddenly saw Qin Chu tossing something up and down with one hand, and upon closer inspection, he realized it was his own storage ring.

Jello's Soul Fragment are in the storage ring.

He narrowed his eyes, barely suppressing the murderous intent rising in his chest. "Sir, the storage ring in your hand is mine. Can you return it to me?"

"Of course..." Qin Chu readily tossed the storage ring to Ronald.

The storage ring doesn't require Magic Power to use, and Ronald could barely open it. However, after just one glance, he discovered that the Mana, Holy Crystal, magic scrolls, and other items inside had all disappeared.

Most importantly, Lord Jello's Soul Fragment have also disappeared.

This scene made Ronald tremble violently. Could it be that that bastard Ramon had taken them all?

Looking back, Ronald realized that the first thing Ramon did after capturing him was to take away his storage ring... He feared that his wealth and the Soul Fragment of Jello's soul had all fallen into Ramon's hands. The thought that all his hard work and humiliation over such a long period of time had been in vain filled Ronald with immense sorrow.

"Is this what you're looking for?" Qin Chu asked with a smile, taking out a crystal.

When Ronald saw what was in Qin Chu's hand, his pupils contracted rapidly, and he couldn't help but scream, "Why is it in your hands?"

Qin Chu did not answer Ronald's question; he simply placed one hand on his chest and bowed gracefully.

"By the way, esteemed White-Turbid Swordsman... no, I mean, esteemed Mr. Ronald, I seem to have not yet introduced myself. How rude of me."

"Nice to meet you, my name is Qin Chu."

"He's the Second-Generation Hero."

Buzz...

In an instant, Ronald's mind went completely blank, a violent tremor washing over him.

Second-Generation Hero?

Chapter Four is here, and there will be another chapter around 8:30.

Chapter 215 Killing someone and destroying their spirit

(Requesting monthly votes and recommendations)

Ronald's mind was thrown into extreme chaos for a time.

His mind was filled with confusion.

Is this person before me the Second-Generation Hero Qin Chu? Why is he here? Didn't Rosweisse say he was fighting Magic Creature on the front lines?

Why is Jello's Soul Fragment in his possession again?

How did he know that he wanted to find Jello Geralt's Soul Fragment?

A flood of questions rushed through Ronald's mind, causing him a sharp pain in his head. He could vaguely sense a massive conspiracy, like a giant net enveloping him.

If Ronald could calm down, he would have figured out where the problem lay, but unfortunately, this poor guy had been tormented too badly by Ramon, and his mental state was on the verge of collapse.

The fragment of Jello Jero's Soul Fragment, which appeared as transparent as a stone in Qin Chu's palm, had completely captured Ronald's attention, leaving Ronald no time to think about anything else.

He lunged at Qin Chu like a madman.

"Give it back to me!"

"Ronald, you don't want me to crush it, do you?"

Qin Chu raised an eyebrow and issued a shameless threat.

Creak!

Ronald had to slam on the brakes and stop, his eyes filled with intense resentment.

"You know my name?" Ronald's eyes narrowed to slits, his gaze filled with venom.

After learning that Qin Chu was Second-Generation Hero, his disgust for this person increased to a whole new level. If he had felt a little bit of guilt before because this person had saved him and he wanted to kill him, now even that little bit of guilt had disappeared.

"Of course, who doesn't know the name of the noble swordsman Ronald?" Qin Chu smiled. "He's dashing and debonair; countless brainless noble ladies in the Imperial City are infatuated with you."

"If they knew that the dignified young noble swordsman had become a 'blanched swordsman,' and even had to bend over and crawl on the ground to entertain Magic Creature in Magic Creature territory, do you think those noble ladies' dreams would be shattered?"

"That feeling must be amazing, right?"

Ronald's body trembled violently, his face deathly pale. Qin Chu's words reminded him of the terrible humiliation he had suffered. He opened his mouth and let out a scream like a woman's, "You, how do you know all this?"

Qin Chu rubbed his forehead in annoyance. "You're usually a very smart person, with a keen eye. How could you not see something so obvious?"

Ronald felt as if he had been struck a heavy blow to the chest.

His throat was throbbing violently.

From the moment the Second-Generation Hero was summoned until now, when the Second-Generation Hero appeared before him holding a fragment of Jello's Soul Fragment, and considering what Qin Chu had just said...
