Chapter 99 The Foundation of the Holy Infant Cult, One Punch Destroys Zhao Jie
In the south of the city, many young talents from Linshui City have already arrived.
Liu Sanxing said with great emotion, "Our Heroes' Gathering is truly developing better and better. Originally, there were only a few of us, but now most of the geniuses of Linshui City have gathered here."
Zhao Jie nodded and said, "That's definitely true."
A faint smile curved his lips as he looked at Sun Yiyao beside him.
Sun Yiyao's gaze also fell on Zhao Jie. The two exchanged a glance, and both could see the smile in each other's eyes.
Then Sun Yiyao smiled and said gently, "Brother Liu, we have to thank you a lot. If it weren't for your efforts, our Heroes' Association wouldn't have developed to this point."
Upon hearing this praise, Liu Sanxing's eyes revealed an undisguised smile.
"Oh, what are you saying? It takes everyone's joint efforts to achieve this."
He waved his hand and spoke with a smile, clearly appreciating the words.
Everyone calls him Fatty Liu, which is not a derogatory term. On the contrary, it shows that he has a good relationship with many people in Linshui City.
It is precisely because of his strong leadership that the Heroes Association has reached such a large scale today.
He continued, "With Brother Qin Wu joining us this time, the prestige of our Linshui City's Heroes Gathering will definitely be further enhanced."
He greatly admired Qin Wu. Although he didn't know Qin Wu's exact strength, the things Qin Wu had done before were enough to prove that this person's strength and methods were absolutely extraordinary. Even among the heroes of their Linshui City, he would definitely be considered one of the top.
He, as the organizer, was naturally extremely proud to have brought such a figure to their gathering of heroes. Sun Yiyao gave him a deep look before continuing with a smile, "Brother Liu is right. With Young Master Qin joining us, we can mutually verify our martial arts skills. Perhaps in a few months, at the sect disciples' conference, a few more of us will be able to successfully join those True Qi sects."
"Not bad, not bad."
Liu Sanxing nodded.
"I need to go and greet the others. Please make yourselves at home, brothers. I'll be right back."
After saying his goodbyes, Liu Sanxing turned and left.
Shortly after he left, several of the most promising young men from Linshui City gathered around Sun Yiyao.
Sun Yiyao's expression changed from her previous gentle demeanor to a hint of arrogance in her eyes as she said, "That Qin Wu must die."
Upon hearing her words, the several prodigies from Linshui City immediately nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, with so many of us together today, no matter how strong Qin Wu is, he's doomed."
Han Feng chuckled and then said with some emotion, "We really have to thank Fatty Liu for organizing this gathering of heroes. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to join the Holy Infant Cult."
Zhao Jie nodded, a smirk playing on his lips, his expression cold: "That being said, Fatty Liu and we are never on the same side. If things continue like this, I'm worried he'll cause us unnecessary trouble. Perhaps we should find an opportunity to get rid of Fatty Liu."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiuying hesitated for a moment: "He's still our friend, isn't it inappropriate to just kill him like this?"
Zhao Jie sneered and said, "Xu Jiuying, do you know what we're doing? If what we're doing is exposed, we'll likely be condemned by the entire city of Linshui. I absolutely cannot risk having this leaked. Or do you think we have any other way out?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiuying opened his mouth, then closed it, a ruthless glint in his eyes, and said no more.
Zhao Jie is right. They have no way out in this matter. No matter the cost, they will continue to carry it out.
Although they were very confident in their talents and strength, the participants in this legendary True Qi Sect disciple recruitment conference were definitely not just the geniuses of Linshui City.
He was very confident that he could indeed be called a prodigy in Linshui City, but if he looked at the whole of Qianzhou, he knew his own limitations and that he was not a particularly outstanding person.
Therefore, the only way to successfully gain the qualification to join the True Qi Sect is to take a risk.
As they were talking, they didn't notice that Fatty Liu, who had just left, was standing at the corner of a house, his expression extremely complicated, even showing shock and fear.
His body was trembling. He never imagined that these friends he relied on were actually the masterminds behind the Holy Infant Cult.
He had only come to retrieve something he had left behind, but he overheard all of this.
Moreover, it is quite obvious that the reason these people came together to establish this so-called Holy Infant Cult is because he spearheaded the establishment of the Heroes' Society.
Without him, perhaps none of this would have happened.
No wonder the Holy Infant Church was able to develop so rapidly, and no wonder no one has been able to deal with it.
It turns out that everything behind this was orchestrated by members of their own Heroes' Gathering.
Liu Sanxing's expression was extremely complicated, and then he quietly turned and left.
This matter is beyond his ability to resolve.
The many prodigies of Linshui City standing here, along with the forces they represent, have long since become a behemoth in Linshui City.
The only thing he can do now is to inform Qin Wu in advance.
Because he had heard very clearly that these people did not intend to attack him yet, but if Qin Wu appeared here, he would surely die without a burial place.
By this time, Qin Wu had already traveled all the way here.
Before even getting close to the banquet hall, they saw Liu Sanxing pacing back and forth anxiously.
Upon seeing Qin Wu, Liu Sanxing's eyes lit up, and he quickly rushed over.
"Brother Liu, what are you doing here?"
Qin Wu asked a question, and Liu Sanxing quickly replied, "Brother, I'm sorry, but you should leave as soon as possible. It's best to leave Linshui City and never come back."
"What happened?" Qin Wu asked.
Liu Sanxing's face was grim, and then he said in despair, "I already know who's behind the Holy Infant Cult."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wu looked surprised.
Although he had already guessed some clues about the Holy Infant Cult, he still did not know the specifics. He did not expect that Liu Sanxing already had the answer.
Then he heard Liu Sanxing give a bitter laugh and explain, "I never expected that the so-called origin of the Holy Infant Cult would be within this Elite Academy. If it weren't for the Elite Academy, the Holy Infant Cult might never have existed. Now I have no idea how many people in this Elite Academy have already joined the Holy Infant Cult. What I do know is that they are going to attack you today. If you continue on your way, you will definitely be surrounded and killed by those people from the Holy Infant Cult."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wu was surprised and somewhat enlightened. He said, "Although I had long suspected that the so-called Holy Infant Cult was probably just something that some people in Linshui City were up to, I never expected that I would get the answer so easily."
Liu Sanxing immediately said, "I'm sorry about this, but there's no other way. Although the Holy Infant Sect has caused a lot of trouble lately, their strength is ultimately limited. In a few months, it will be the time for the various True Qi sects to recruit disciples, and at that time, these members of the Holy Infant Sect will definitely be wiped out. But to deal with them now, we will face the pressure of the entire Linshui City, and no one can stop us. Moreover, let alone those behind them, even these guys are all quite strong, almost all of them have reached the Nourishing Heart and Opening Meridians realm. And this is only the realm I know of them. But since they joined the Holy Infant Sect, they certainly couldn't have joined just to harm people, so I don't know their current strength. You can still leave now; if you delay, you may never have another chance."
Seeing that Qin Wu didn't seem to be leaving, and even seemed somewhat interested, he immediately tried to dissuade him.
But Qin Wu then smiled slightly and said calmly, "Isn't this perfect? They want to kill me, and I want to see what the Holy Infant Sect is really like. They think they've set a trap for me today, but who says this isn't a good opportunity to wipe out the Holy Infant Sect?"
After saying that, Qin Wu strode forward.
Seeing Qin Wu's actions, Liu Sanxing looked astonished: "Brother Qin, this is not something you can handle."
He quickly chased after him, but Qin Wu showed no sign of stopping; in fact, his eyes held a hint of coldness and murderous intent.
He didn't really know the true strength of those talented individuals, but he was very clear about his own abilities.
There are probably many powerful figures in this waterside city, including someone comparable to Lei Wudi, the leader of the Xuanzhou Martial Arts Alliance.
But among these talented individuals, there is most likely no such strong person, and even if there were, it wouldn't matter.
Without mastering the Dragon Elephant World-Suppressing Fist, he might feel some pressure facing such a powerful opponent, and there's even a possibility of him being defeated.
However, given his current strength, unless a powerful expert who has already broken through to the initial stage of True Qi takes action, no one can threaten his life or death.
Moreover, given his power and stamina from fusing several martial souls, if those talented individuals really wanted to attack him, let them try. He might not be the one to die.
Seeing Qin Wu's expression remain unchanged as he headed straight for the gathering of heroes, Liu Sanxing gritted his teeth: "A man dies when the birds fly to the sky, but if he doesn't, he lives forever. This mess was caused by me, Fatty Liu. You, Qin Wu, aren't afraid, and neither am I. At worst, we'll die together!"
After saying that, he gritted his teeth and followed.
Qin Wu was somewhat surprised to see Fatty Liu's heroic sacrifice.
I had previously thought Fatty Liu was a smooth and shrewd person, but I never imagined he would have such courage.
Before long, the two arrived at the place where the talents were gathered.
The group was somewhat surprised to see Qin Wu and Fatty Liu walking over together.
Han Feng said with a smile, "Brother Qin, most of the people are here. We've been waiting for you."
Qin Wu's lips curled up, and he said, "In that case, I should apologize. The matter of the Holy Infant Sect has been quite troublesome lately, and I haven't been able to spare any attention for the time being."
Upon hearing the words "Holy Infant Sect," Han Feng's expression remained unchanged. Zhao Jie, standing beside him, spoke up, "Qin Wu, the matter of the Holy Infant Sect is beyond our control. We've come here to spar with you. Through sparring, we can improve together and increase our chances of entering a True Qi Sect. I believe you already understand this matter. How about we spar a bit first?"
As he spoke, he picked up the spear, a hidden ruthlessness in his eyes.
If it were before, Qin Wu might not have been able to discern the ruthlessness in Zhao Jie's expression, but after Liu Pangzi's reminder, Qin Wu could tell at a glance that Zhao Jie clearly wanted to take this opportunity to kill him.
Then Qin Wu's lips curled up and he said, "Of course it's alright, but fists and feet have no eyes, and it's hard to stop when you start fighting. It would be bad if we were injured."
Zhao Jie grinned: "Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor by heaven. If a martial artist doesn't even have this much awareness, what's the point of practicing martial arts? I've long heard of your extraordinary strength, and I'd like to see if your fists are really that ruthless."
After saying that, Zhao Jie rushed towards Qin Wu without saying a word, and immediately launched a killing blow, aiming for Qin Wu's vital points.
Their goal today is to kill Qin Wu, so naturally they don't need to care about any rules.
In that instant, he was not at all in the state of nourishing the heart and opening the meridians that Fatty Liu had previously described.
"Mid-stage of Nourishing the Heart and Unblocking the Meridians? How could you have broken through so quickly!"
Liu Sanxing was extremely shocked, knowing that he had recently heard that Zhao Jie had broken through to the Nourishing Heart and Opening Meridians Realm.
Before, it wouldn't have been difficult; with good cultivation techniques and resources, breaking through wouldn't have been hard. But reaching the Mind Nourishing and Meridian Opening Realm is almost like reaching the pinnacle of the mortal realm.
However, even for a genius like Zhao Jie, it would be impossible to break through from the early stage of the Meridian Opening Realm to the middle stage without one or two years of honing his skills.
Zhao Jie did not answer, but only gave a cold laugh.
He was confident that this move would kill Qin Wu, because this move was not only at the mid-stage of the Nourishing Heart and Opening Meridians realm, but its power, when unleashed in a surprise attack, would be so great that even a late-stage Nourishing Heart and Opening Meridians realm might not be able to withstand it.
But the next moment, Qin Wu grinned: "So weak, yet you dare to try and kill?"
boom!
With a loud bang, Qin Wu threw a punch, which landed squarely on Zhao Jie's chest.
Zhao Jie stared at Qin Wu in disbelief, then collapsed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His fate was unknown.
The others looked extremely shocked and angry.
On the one hand, they were shocked by the strength Qin Wu had displayed, and on the other hand, they did not expect that Qin Wu would dare to directly kill.
"Qin Wu, how could you kill someone!"
Han Feng cried out in surprise.
Qin Wu's expression was cold. He glanced at the group before speaking, "What? He dares to kill me, but I can't kill him?"
Qin Wu then walked step by step towards Han Feng: "I heard from Fatty Liu that your Han family possesses a Dragon-Snake Hidden Hand technique. I was originally considering how to obtain it. But now it seems that if I kill you, your Han family certainly won't stand idly by, right?"
Qin Wu's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Are you insane? Killing Zhao Jie wasn't enough, you actually want to kill me too?"
Han Feng's expression was one of surprise and uncertainty.
Liu Sanxing glared at him intently: "The Holy Infant Cult is an organization that everyone should condemn!"
Seeing Qin Wu's performance, Liu Sanxing was suddenly filled with pride.
There was even a feeling that he might not die today.
So, he laid his cards on the table!
