Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 263 - 251: Why

"What are your conditions for negotiation? Feng Yu, let’s talk this out. I can satisfy any demand you put forth!" Zheng Baohe, having weathered many storms, didn’t appear overly panicked even while being firmly in Qin Qing’s grasp.

Qin Qing didn’t pay attention to Zheng Baohe, but instead said to the young girl, "First, get dressed!"

The girl quickly nodded, hurriedly put her clothes back on, and then fed her younger brother several healing pills.

All of her actions were observed by Qin Qing.

Clearly, the black ring on the girl’s finger was not an ordinary one, but a Spirit Ring.

To own a Spirit Ring at her level of cultivation, this girl must definitely come from a family of cultivators, at the very least one comparable to the Qin Residence.

"Alright!"

After the girl had finished, Qin Qing’s gaze returned to Zheng Baohe, and he delivered another fierce slap across Zheng Baohe’s face.

Zheng Baohe’s head buzzed from the impact, and all his teeth were knocked out by Qin Qing’s slap.

"I... I was wrong!" Zheng Baohe surrendered.

He knew he had met his downfall today.

Now, all he hoped for was to spare his life.

After all, on these plains, if the other party wanted to kill him, no reasoning would be necessary once the deed was done.

That’s just how the world worked.

Human life was as trivial as grass.

In the County City or the Imperial City, there might be consequences for killing someone, but outside of the city, no one would intervene.

Zheng Baohe didn’t want to die.

Moreover, in his opinion, there wasn’t any deep-seated hatred between him and this "Feng Yu."

"I shouldn’t have been lustful and wicked; I shouldn’t have harbored such malicious thoughts. Feng Yu, Brother Feng, I really made a mistake... Please... please spare me!"

Zheng Baohe spat out all his bloodstained teeth, his speech somewhat slurred, yet he still knelt on the ground, constantly begging Qin Qing for mercy.

The other bodyguards around them were stunned as well.

"Brother Zheng!" Lu Ping spoke up from the side, "We have so many people, we don’t have to be afraid of him. Let’s all go at him together and take him down!"

Zheng Baohe felt like crying but had no tears, as Lu Ping and the others were unaware of Qin Qing’s strength.

But Zheng Baohe knew it all too clearly.

From the way Qin Qing had controlled him earlier, and from the two blows Qin Qing had just delivered, Zheng Baohe knew that the "Feng Yu" in front of him was at least a martial master!

A martial master of the Soul Refinement Realm!

Upon reaching the realm of a martial master, the difference in strength compared to an ordinary martial artist was vast as heaven and earth.

Normally, even if dozens of martial artists were to surround and attack a martial master, there would be no chance of victory.

After all, a martial master of the Soul Refinement Realm could harness the power of the Martial Soul.

A fundamental transformation in strength had already occurred.

Furthermore, Zheng Baohe, Lu Ping, and the other bodyguards, even among martial artists, were of only average capability.

"No... don’t!" Zheng Baohe wanted to speak out and stop Lu Ping’s foolish idea, but it was already too late.

Lu Ping, Zhao Yuan, and the others had already rushed towards Qin Qing.

One could say that after years of wandering and brawling together, they had developed an understanding among each other.

A mere glance was enough for them to comprehend each other’s intentions and simultaneously attack Qin Qing from different directions!

But!

In the face of an absolute gap in strength, any tactic was in vain.

Moreover, to Qin Qing, who now possessed the strength of an elder of the Golden Core Realm in Martial Arts, Lu Ping, Zhao Yuan, and the other bodyguards were no different from trash. No matter how many such trash there were, they couldn’t pose any threat to him.

Even if Qin Qing were to stand still and allow their attacks, they wouldn’t be able to breach his defenses.

Qin Qing let out a cold laugh. He didn’t even need to lift a finger, as a surge of Spiritual Power vibrated out from him.

Lu Ping, Zhao Yuan, and the other bodyguards were lifted by an invisible force, sent flying through the air, and then crash-landed on the ground, sprawling in all directions.

"This..."

"He’s so strong!"

Everyone had the same thought crossing their minds.

Pair after pair of eyes were staring at Qin Qing in disbelief!

The skill Qin Qing had just displayed, even an ordinary martial master probably couldn’t achieve that!

Although Lu Ping and the others had sustained serious injuries, what occupied their minds even more was shock.

The strength Qin Qing had just revealed was so much greater than what they initially imagined that it was overwhelmingly shocking!

So much so that it was impactful!

The young girl’s eyes were also wide with disbelief as she looked at Qin Qing.

"So it turns out... this Feng Yu is actually so formidable!"

The girl thought about how she had previously asked "Feng Yu" to leave and couldn’t help but feel wave after wave of relief.

Luckily, "Feng Yu" didn’t leave because of her cold dismissal; otherwise, she would have truly missed her last hope.

And now... the girl was feeling more of a relief at having survived a disaster, and she held her younger brother in her arms as they embraced each other and wept bitterly.

This was the relaxation of having survived a catastrophe.

"Feng ge, Senior Feng!"

At this moment, Zheng Baohe was truly terrified.

Crawling on his knees to Qin Qing’s feet, he clutched at Qin Qing’s trouser legs: "We were wrong, truly wrong. I promise we will never dare again! Senior, please spare us this once..."

The other escorts also snapped to their senses and knelt on the ground, one by one, begging Qin Qing for mercy.

"We were wrong!"

"Senior Feng, we will definitely be good people from now on."

"Senior Feng, we promise there won’t be a next time, absolutely not!"

Qin Qing coldly watched their poor acting.

He was very clear that the wickedness of these people had infiltrated their bones; even if he spared them today, tomorrow they would return to their filthy deeds.

"Spare you?"

Qin Qing sneered and viciously kicked Zheng Baohe away with one foot.

Zheng Baohe flew backward like a sandbag.

But before Zheng Baohe hit the ground, Qin Qing grabbed him by the neck again, and then fiercely slapped him twice, rendering Zheng Baohe senseless.

"Slap!"

Qin Qing stepped on Zheng Baohe’s chest, directly breaking his ribs one by one.

"Ah..."

The acute pain once again made Zheng Baohe scream out loud.

Zheng Baohe was completely stunned...

"Why... is this... why!"

"Why... why?"

He just couldn’t understand; he didn’t have any deep hatred with this Feng Yu, did he?

Even before this escort task, there was no interaction between the two at all. But now, the ferocity with which the other side was attacking him was as if he was hated to the bone.

"Feng... Feng ge, I was wrong. But why, why is this happening?"

"Gurgle!"

Zheng Baohe couldn’t finish his words as a mouthful of blood spurted out.

His eyes were seeing stars, and it seemed like he was hanging on by his last breath.

"Why?" Qin Qing sneered. "You certainly don’t know why because you’ve been escorting for so many years, and you’ve done too many things that go against your conscience. Right?"

Hearing what Qin Qing said, Zheng Baohe could vaguely guess that "Feng Yu" must have had a grudge against him to attack him so mercilessly.

"Feng... Feng ge, what exactly is it for?" Zheng Baohe asked in agony.

"Alright, I’ll tell you why!" Qin Qing sneered coldly: "Seven years ago, there was a pregnant woman you slapped. Do you remember that?"
