" Master Guo, stop struggling. Today is the end of your Three Rivers Martial Arts School."
"You old codger, you had the misfortune of offending Young Master Qiong Bi! Offending Young Master Qiong Bi means no one can save you now!!"
A massive Giant Axe descended from the sky, bringing with it unparalleled force as it cleaved down.
Master Guo could have dodged, but seeing the women and children from the martial arts school behind him, he gritted his teeth, picked up his greatsword, and charged forward.
"Madness!"
The burly man wielding the Giant Axe let out a wild laugh.
"You think you can save them? Once you're dead, they'll all die too. I heard your daughter, Master Guo, is very beautiful? After you die, I'll take her and give her to Young Master Qiong Bi. Maybe when he gets tired of her, he'll reward us with her, hahaha..."
"Boom--"
The axe and the greatsword collided violently. Giant Axe axe, already carrying immense force, was further propelled by the enormous inertia of its fall from the sky, causing Master Guo's arm to go numb and the greatsword to nearly slip from his grasp.
Bang!
The martial arts master knelt on the ground, dust billowing everywhere. The powerful shockwave blew everything around them away. The dozen or so women and children who had just been protected by Master Guo were all shattered, their livers ruptured, and they lay on the ground, their fates unknown!
" Master Guo, accept your fate. Young Master Qiong Bi bestowed upon me a treasure that greatly increased my strength. You can't possibly be my match. You're doomed, and the Three Rivers Martial Arts School is finished too."
The man with the Giant Axe kicked Master Guo, sending him flying.
Master Guo slammed violently against the courtyard wall of the martial arts school, and the sturdy wall shattered instantly.
"It's over..."
Master Guo coughed up a mouthful of blood, filled with remorse.
If I hadn't meddled in other people's business and taught Qiong Bi's henchmen who were bullying innocent girls a lesson, I wouldn't have been targeted by this scoundrel.
If I had a premonition of the ending, I would have left with Yunniang and Qinglan early on, living in anonymity, perhaps...
But he couldn't let go, he couldn't let go of the Three Rivers Martial Arts School, this ancestral business, he couldn't let go of the brothers in the school...
Now it's all too late.
" Yunniang... Qinglan... I'm so sorry."
Master Guo struggled to his feet, wanting to use his last bit of strength to buy his daughter a chance to escape.
However, he suddenly saw his daughter return again...
" Qinglan, what are you doing here!"
Master Guo was terrified and cried out in disbelief.
"Facing an opponent even stronger than before, you still dare to be distracted..."
Another axe came crashing down on him.
"Father!"
The woman following behind Lu Qingshan broke down in tears, her hand gripping the dagger trembling.
However, just as Master Guo was about to be shattered by this axe, suddenly, the axe of the Divine Axe Gang leader seemed to be stuck in the mud and could not move at all.
A dark-skinned man wearing a martial arts short shirt walked over.
He raised his hand and slapped it.
"Boom!!"
The once arrogant leader of the Divine Axe Gang was sent flying like a ball, crashing heavily to the ground. He seemed to deflate, turning into a puddle of mud, causing the ground to shake violently. It was as if an earthquake had struck the entire Three Rivers City.
As the smoke and dust cleared, the leader of the Divine Axe Gang lay on the ground, barely recognizable as a human, and remained motionless.
The world was silent.
The Divine Axe Gang, who were chasing the martial arts school disciples, were stunned.
Their invincible gang leader, Star Level powerhouse, was actually killed with a single slap?
"Cough cough..."
It took Master Guo a long time to recover from the shock. He had thought he was going to die, and that his wife and daughters would also suffer, but he never expected the turn of events to happen so quickly.
One-hit kill, what kind of strength is that?
Does Star Level possess such power?
"Thank you so much for saving my life, sir."
Master Guo knelt down and kowtowed to Shang Jie.
Shang Jie waved his hand. " Master Guo, you should thank my young master. If he hadn't ordered me to intervene, I definitely wouldn't have saved you."
"Young Master..."
Master Guo looked at the pale-faced young man beside his daughter with a very complicated expression.
He knew perfectly well that his daughter Qinglan had fallen for a young man named Han Li, and of course, Master Guo strongly opposed it. How could his intelligent and beautiful daughter possibly marry this sickly man?
But now, Master Guo realized he was wrong, terribly wrong. How could an ordinary sickly man possibly have such a powerful bodyguard!
"Thank you so much, Young Master Han..."
Master Guo somewhat embarrassed. He had been cold to Han Li because of his daughter's situation, and if it weren't for his wife and daughter's objections, he would have even planned to drive the two of them away.
But now, they are the ones who saved their own family's lives.
"You're welcome." Lu Qingshan smiled faintly. "I'm staying on Thick Earth Planet temporarily, and I'm grateful for the host and Miss Guo's hospitality... Shang Jie's donation as a way of repaying your care these past few days."
In just a few moments, Shang Jie had wiped out all the thugs from the Divine Axe Gang, leaving not a single one alive.
Shang Jie, Universe Level Eight, slaughtered a Star Level and a group of weaklings who were only Planetary Level beings. It was simply too much of a bullying.
" Master Guo, from what I overheard their conversation, it seems this trouble comes from someone named Qiong Bi. Since we're helping each other out, let's resolve this problem before we leave."
Lu Qingshan spoke calmly.
"This..."
Master Guo felt ashamed.
" Shang Jie, go ahead... and be quick."
Lu Qingshan spoke.
"Yes, young master."
Shang Jie's figure vanished into thin air... and soon reappeared at Qiong Mansion, thousands of miles away.
The next moment, this place transformed into a purgatory.
The Qiong Family, one of the four great families of Thick Earth Planet Thick Earth Planet, who had occupied the planet for tens of thousands of years, was wiped out...
Even though the Qiong Family's ancestor was already at the Universe Level 1, he was still instantly killed by Shang Jie, who possessed a domain and was at the Universe Level Eight. This was not surprising at all.
Even if something unexpected happens, it's okay...
Shang Jie still has the D7 Laser Gun he stole from the Treasure Pavilion. Even if the lord of the Thick Earth Planet, which possesses countless planets, came in person, he would probably lose his life here.
After all, Han Li Shang Jie were Star Pirates and were wanted by the authorities, so they wouldn't care about the laws of the Empire.
