Come, Kill Me

Lin Changkong walked out of the room and saw the broken door and an enraged Zhang Qingfeng. He frowned slightly.

"What are you barking about?"

Zhang Qingfeng's face twitched. He pointed at Lin Changkong and roared, "Lin Changkong, how dare you openly kill a sect disciple! Today, I will act on behalf of heaven and eliminate you, a scourge of the sect.

Don't you dare deny it. Do you dare say you didn't kill the Servant Courtyard disciple Su Qingqing today?

Such arrogance, recklessness, and disregard for sect rules – you truly deserve to die!"

Zhang Qingfeng roared, deliberately raising his voice and amplifying it with spiritual energy so that it could be clearly heard by others in the surrounding courtyards.

This way, he could gain the moral high ground.

The commotion naturally attracted disciples from nearby. Seeing Zhang Qingfeng confronting Lin Changkong, many were initially a little surprised, then their expressions became quite interesting.

Many people knew that Lin Changkong and Zhang Qingfeng had friction. In fact, quite a few were hoping the two would directly confront each other, especially the senior disciples who had been suppressed by Lin Changkong.

They were all eager for Zhang Qingfeng to make a move soon and teach Lin Changkong a lesson, bringing them some honor.

Now that they finally saw Zhang Qingfeng making a move, their faces were filled with excitement.

Hong Ye arrived upon hearing the commotion. She glared at Zhang Qingfeng and said, "Zhang Qingfeng, what's your problem? If you want to fight, I'll fight you. Stop barking here."

Zhang Qingfeng snorted, "Hmph! Hong Ye, stop twisting facts. Lin Changkong bullies the weak and cruelly killed the Servant Courtyard disciple Su Qingqing. The evidence is irrefutable.

Such actions are outrageous. Today, I must act on behalf of heaven and kill this scourge.

What, are you still protecting him, this murderer? Could it be that you are birds of a feather with him?"

Zhang Qingfeng continued to occupy the moral high ground, appearing righteous and awe-inspiring.

Lin Changkong listened, finding it amusing.

When he first entered the Outer Sect, Zhang Qingfeng had used his influence to pressure people into attacking him. Yet now, Zhang Qingfeng was acting righteously, accusing him of bullying the weak.

The cultivation world was indeed full of hypocrites.

Moreover, the appearance of the Mystic Moon Sect members during the Flood Dragon Gang incident was so peculiar. Someone must have sold them out, otherwise, Xuan Ling wouldn't have known his cultivation level at that time.

He had thought of Zhang Qingfeng then but couldn't be bothered to say anything.

Now, it was ironic. He hadn't gone to settle the score with Zhang Qingfeng, and Zhang Qingfeng dared to come looking for him.

Hong Ye was a little surprised. Lin Changkong killed a Servant Courtyard disciple, and his junior brother was this arrogant?

As she was wondering, Lin Changkong chuckled and said, "Yes, I killed Su Qingqing."

"Since you're here for revenge, there's no need for nonsense. Today, we will not only decide who is superior but also who lives and who dies!"

Lin Changkong drew the Crimson Flame Saber from his back, his spiritual energy enveloping it. A scorching aura swept out as he walked directly towards Zhang Qingfeng.

He had no intention of explaining anything.

If he needed to explain, what was the point of cultivating?

He had the cheat for crushing you, not for explaining things to you.

Hearing Lin Changkong's words, the surrounding crowd was horrified. He had actually killed a disciple within the sect.

How audacious!

Although such things weren't unheard of, others did it secretly and covered it up afterward.

But he directly admitted it in public and then drew his saber to attack.

Hong Ye also looked at Lin Changkong in surprise, not expecting him to be so straightforward.

He was arrogant, but with such confidence and openness.

It had to be said, he did possess a unique charm.

Zhang Qingfeng's gaze was cold, but as Lin Changkong walked towards him with his saber drawn, he suddenly felt a pang of uncertainty.

If Xuan Ming and Xuan Ling were truly killed by Lin Changkong without the help of Hong Ye and Zhou Yue, then Lin Changkong's current strength was likely even greater than he had imagined.

He did not have absolute confidence that he could kill Lin Changkong.

"Hmph! Lin Changkong, I am not a reckless person like you who disregards sect rules. I will kill you, but not here. If you want to fight, do it on the Life and Death Stage.

This afternoon, at the hour of the snake, on the Life and Death Stage, we will fight to the death. Do you dare to accept?"

Thus, Zhang Qingfeng changed his tune, employing a delaying tactic. His aim was undoubtedly to go back and prepare more, increasing his chances of winning.

Lin Changkong smiled.

"It's not that I don't dare, it's that you don't dare. You come to my door but are afraid to make a move. So cowardly, what the hell are you pretending for."

Zhang Qingfeng's heart clenched violently. Being exposed so publicly by Lin Changkong felt like a slap in the face.

But he still argued, "Stop quibbling. I am merely abiding by sect rules. I, Zhang Qingfeng, am upright and honorable, not like you who bullies the weak.

I am giving you half a day to prepare because you are a new disciple. Otherwise, I would kill you right now."

Lin Changkong laughed, "Then you don't need to give me time to prepare. I want to fight now. Come on, hack me to death."

Lin Changkong chuckled, his spiritual energy erupting. The Crimson Flame Saber burned like fire, its intense aura rapidly raising the surrounding temperature.

His aura surged, quickly reaching the peak of Qi Gathering Seventh Level. The powerful aura made the surrounding senior disciples' expressions stiffen, and their hearts pounded with fear.

"This aura, it's definitely at the Qi Gathering Seventh Level realm. How many days has he been in the Outer Sect? He's already this terrifying?"

"It seems the rumors weren't exaggerated. Zhao Lingfeng was probably defeated by him in an instant. This presence is much stronger than Zhao Lingfeng's."

"This rate of improvement is terrifying!"

Gasps erupted all around. Zhang Qingfeng's heart pounded even faster. The power Lin Changkong was unleashing made him feel increasingly uncertain.

But he had sought out Lin Changkong himself. If he backed down now, he would lose face completely.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Zhang Qingfeng's expression turned extremely grim.

"You don't dare, huh? Since you won't cut me, I'll cut you!"

Seeing Zhang Qingfeng hesitate, Lin Changkong chuckled and charged at him with his saber raised.

A scorching blade energy erupted instantly, slashing horizontally.

Zhang Qingfeng hastily drew his long saber and also struck out with a slash. With a "clang," the blade energies collided, spiritual energy whistling as a circle of spiritual energy ripples spread out.

Zhang Qingfeng felt a tremendous force press down on him. His feet faltered, and he retreated five steps, each one leaving a deep footprint on the ground.

"What?"

Zhang Qingfeng's heart sank, filled with shock.

But Lin Changkong gave him no time to think. As one saber strike fell, a second one, swift as lightning, came hacking down.

Zhang Qingfeng had no way to dodge. He unleashed the full power of his Qi Gathering Eighth Level, let out a furious roar, and met Lin Changkong head-on.

"Clang!"

The second saber strike collided, its power even greater. Zhang Qingfeng retreated another five steps, while Lin Changkong remained completely still.

With his heart pounding, Zhang Qingfeng faced the third saber strike as it slashed horizontally.

He roared and chopped out with a saber strike, but his feet still stumbled, and he retreated another five steps.

Three strikes, and his disadvantage was clear!

Watching Zhang Qingfeng being pushed back step by step, the surrounding onlookers, especially the older disciples who had eagerly hoped Zhang Qingfeng would put Lin Changkong in his place, had their pupils contract. They froze on the spot.
