"Martial brother Lee, what happened?" One of the Six Pulse Sword Sect disciples knelt next to Lee’s body and cried out.

The other Six Pulse Sword Sect disciples drew out their swords and stared at the staff with anger.

"How dare you kill our martial brother!" They cried out in unison and one of them swung his sword horizontally at the staff.

"Run!" The crowd shouted and they quickly ran as fast as they could when they saw the head of the staff flung into the air after it was severed off his body.

Blood was spilled all over the jewelry shop and the constables who had been dispatched cowered in a corner.

"What should we do now?" One of the constables asked and the rest did what they usually do, "Best for us to get back and report to the Governor."

They quickly scurried towards the Governor’s residence.

The cries and screams from the jewelry shop could be heard in the distance as they ran away.

...

Lin Xuan Qi was thinking about whether to let Lee He Song be out of the mansion to protect the factories when the horse carriage came to a sudden halt.

Neigh.

The horses neighed when the coachman pulled back the reins to let them stop.

"Are you out of your mind!" The coachman shouted at the woman who was obstructing the way of the horse carriage.

Lin Xuan Qi and Lee He Song glanced out from the side of the horse carriage and saw Lee Qing wearing a veil covering her face and with her sword in her hand.

Lee He Song recognized her and said, "She is from the Six Pulse Sword Sect.

"When we were dispensing the charity porridge, she was the one to try and disrupt it."

"I guess they have decided to go all in this time." Lin Xuan Qi also recognized her and said.

He wasn’t sure why she was so obsessed with someone who was just a partner with the Sima Family but since she had decided to do so, it was time for him to deal with her.

From their last encounter, she wasn’t that overwhelming when she fought with Lee He Song.

And after so many battles, he confirmed that the Five-Element Qi reigned supreme over the Spirit Qi.

Even if he was only at Qi Concentration Level, he might be able to face someone who was at Foundation Establishment Level.

Lin Xuan Qi was confident that he and Lee He Song would be able to take on Lee Qing together.

If they weren’t able to do so, he could lure her back to the mansion and if she entered it, it would be over for her.

His guards wanted to get her out of the way but he stopped them and said, "Leave her for Master Lee to deal with, get back to the mansion with the coachman and make sure that everyone is safe there."

"But Master Lin..." The guards were worried about him but he waved them off.

Lin Xuan Qi and Lee He Song stepped out from the horse carriage and he got the horse carriage to move away with the guards.

The guards reluctantly went away and they figured that if they let Liu Shi Shi know, she would be able to come and help.

"I was right, you two are weird." Lee Qing smirked and pointed her sword at them.

Which mortal would dare to face a cultivator? They must be out of their minds if they did so.

But here she was, with Lin Xuan Qi and Lee He Song standing in front of her without fear.

"Who are you? Why are you harassing me?" Lin Xuan Qi frowned at her and said, "I’m just a small merchant minding my own business, I believe I have no feud with you."

Lee Qing gave out a laugh and said, "No merchant would dare to talk to me like this."

Lin Xuan Qi glanced over at Lee He Song and gestured with his eyes for him to take her on from her left side.

Lee He Song got it and gave him a subtle nod.

He proceeded to sigh at Lee Qing and said, "Fine, I think I get it.

"I know that I am good looking and talented, but I have bad news for you.

"I’m already married and I’m not looking for new concubines.

"The best I can do is for you to be my tong fang servant girl."

"Who the hell do you think you are!" Lee Qing got angered by what he had said and she lunged at him.

"First Pulse Sword Attack." She shouted and her sword was engulfed in a glow before it shot out from the tip of the sword towards Lin Xuan Qi.

The glow came at him with tremendous speed like a pulse wave.

She expected Lin Xuan Qi to be blown into pieces by the attack but it did not materialize.

Out of nowhere, Lin Xuan Qi held two hammers in his hands and he blocked the pulse wave with the hammer on his right.

Whoosh.

Miraculously, the pulse wave got absorbed by the hammer and dissipated into the void.

She was stunned by what she was witnessing for a moment and she tried to pull back her arm to unleash another strike at Lin Xuan Qi.

But before she could do that, the temperature around her dropped drastically all of a sudden.

Lee He Song came from her left side and stabbed at her with the tip of the Nine Yin Ice Sword.

An icicle shot out from it and came at her neck.

Lee Qing didn’t have time to think about the fact that they were unleashing strikes like a cultivator and she quickly activated her artifact that was a bracelet on her wrist.

The bracelet gave out a yellow glow and the yellow glow engulfed her body in an instant.

Crack!

When the icicle hit the yellow glow, a cracking sound could be heard and the icicle penetrated the yellow glow.

"How is this possible?!" Lee Qing gasped and she turned her body to dodge the icicle.
