Chapter 320 Murderous Intent

Fan Qinghui was extremely agitated.

Apologize? There was no way he would apologize. In the Guyue Sect, how the hell could he possibly be bullied by Daoist Shouren?

"Daoist Friend, can I make amends for Junior Brother Fan?" Daoist Treading Star sighed and said.

Daoist Shouren's gaze at this moment was terrifying.

"No! I want him to apologize to me personally, and immediately repay the spirit stones he owes me, with interest! Otherwise, I will not rest until this is settled!" Daoist Shouren's attitude was extremely unyielding.

"You're full of shit! You ambushed me and nearly killed me, yet you still want me to apologize and return your spirit stones? In your fucking dreams!" Fan Qinghui roared furiously.

"Junior Brother Fan, apologize to Daoist Shouren. You're clearly in the wrong here!"

"Senior Brother, he almost killed me! Look at my injuries—he was clearly trying to finish me off!" Fan Qinghui had lost his temper completely.

"Daoist Friend Shouren, Junior Brother Fan is too agitated right now. Why don't we all cool our heads first? Once I've persuaded him, I'll make sure he apologizes and returns your spirit stones immediately."

Daoist Shouren's anger had reached boiling point.

Without the Way of Protection, he was no longer willing to tolerate any humiliation.

His Way was the Way of No Regret—not that he had no regrets about past actions, but that from now on, he would never allow himself to regret anything again.

"I want him to apologize and return the spirit stones—now, immediately!"

"I'll return your damn mother!"

Daoist Shouren froze.

Insults!

He actually dared to insult him?

Lu Ye and Lin Chuyue were also stunned. He actually swore? Then things were bound to get even more chaotic, weren't they?

Sure enough, after the moment of stunned silence, Daoist Shouren went completely berserk.

"I'll kill you, you beast!"

He lashed out again, cosmic energies surged as a massive palm strike came down, threatening to obliterate everything in its path.

Daoist Treading Star's head was pounding.

This was a disaster!

What a goddamn mess!

The bad blood between the two was now beyond repair—on one side was Daoist Shouren, who had helped them greatly, and on the other was their own fellow disciple.

"Daoist Friend Shouren, calm down! Please, calm down!"

"Calm down? Like hell I will! Today, I must kill him to settle this grudge!" Shouren roared.

Daoist Taxing alone couldn't withstand Daoist Shouren's attacks and hurriedly called for help.

"Fellow Daoist, this is the Guyue Sect! Although Junior Brother Fan was at fault, his wrongdoing isn't punishable by death. Don't cross the line!"

As the fight continued, Daoist Taxing's anger boiled over.

Yes, Junior Brother Fan had gone too far, but his offense wasn't capital! If you kill Fan Qinghui here today, how would the Guyue Sect save face?

"Hahaha, I'm going too far? Me?"

Daoist Shouren couldn't help but burst into mad laughter.

"He owes me spirit stones and refuses to pay, badmouths me behind my back, and when I demand an apology and repayment, he insults me to my face again—and I'm the one going too far?"

"Hahaha..."

Daoist Shouren had already activated a secret technique, his power skyrocketing.

"Shouren, I'll warn you one last time—this is the Guyue Sect!" Daoist Taxing's expression turned completely icy, even omitting the honorific.

"So what if it's the Guyue Sect? This poor Daoist will see today exactly what your sect is capable of!"

Daoist Shouren suddenly let out a battle cry.

From all directions, massive palm strikes blotted out the sky and covered the earth, causing the space itself to shake.

"Fine! Then don't blame the Guyue Sect for being merciless—surround and kill him!"

At the command, the long-waiting Heaven and Earth realm masters of the Guyue Sect immediately moved, charging toward Daoist Shouren.

No fewer than nine Heaven and Earth realm cultivators attacked.

How could Daoist Shouren withstand this? His cultivation had already declined.

"Pfft!"

Daoist Shouren coughed up blood.

"I warned you—this is the Guyue Sect! The Guyue Sect! Do you think you're Lu Ye, capable of fighting an entire sect alone?" Daoist Taxing roared furiously.

"Kill him!"

Fan Qinghui bellowed.

Hearing the shout, the others' eyes gradually gleamed with murderous intent, striking even more viciously.

After all, this was the Guyue Sect. Given Daoist Shouren's character, if they killed him, others would only mourn his passing—no one would ever seek revenge for him.

Kill or not?

Pairs of eyes turned to Daoist Taxing, all posing the same silent question.

Kill or not?

Kill or not?

Now, Daoist Shouren had completely burned all bridges with the Guyue Sect. Would there be any room for reconciliation in the future?

Daoist Shouren wasn't himself anymore.

In the past, even if Fan Qinghui was caught badmouthing Shouren behind his back, with everyone's persuasion, it would only result in a half-hearted forgiveness, just sweeping it under the rug.

But now...

Since that's the case...

Finally, Daoist Taxing hardened his resolve.

"Kill!"

With that single word uttered, in an instant, every elite fighter from the Guyue Sect switched tactics, transforming into killing blows.

In a flash, Daoist Shouren was completely overwhelmed.

What a brutal turn of events.

All because he stopped being a doormat, he faced mortal danger.

If not for Lu Ye accompanying him this time, Daoist Shouren would have died right there.

"Fellow Daoist, save me!"

Daoist Shouren let out a desperate cry.

Lu Ye moved.

His figure instantly appeared at the center of the battlefield, showing his real face.

A glowing circular shield, sucking in massive amounts of natural energy, formed in an instant. All the lethal strikes landed on the shield and were instantly absorbed.

Daoist Taxing froze in shock—someone would actually step in for Shouren in such a situation?

He was just about to launch a more vicious attack when, amidst the blurred yet dazzling light, he caught sight of a face he knew yet barely recognized.

Familiar, because that face was deeply imprinted in Daoist Taxing's mind.

Unfamiliar, because Daoist Taxing had never had the chance to exchange more than a few words with him.

"Stop!"

Daoist Taxing bellowed loud enough to shake the ground.

His heart leaped into his throat at that moment, as a crushing wave of dread washed over him.

"Stop! Stop! Everyone, stop!"

Sheer survival instinct, coupled with terror at his sect’s possible annihilation, drove Daoist Taxing to shout repeatedly, his voice laced with terror.

The others hastily ceased their attacks. Fan Qinghui, still striking, was forcefully struck by Daoist Taxing, the hit nearly broke him apart.

Fan Qinghui went rigid.

The others gaped in shock.

"Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist, it's all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! We... we messed up. Please, Fellow Daoist, hold back. Let’s talk this out!"

Daoist Taxing, his normally rigid stance now hunched, hurriedly blurted out.

His attitude had the other cultivators staring in shock.

Wait, what's happening?

This is in the Guyue Sect. Who is that person, capable of making the Taoist of Guyue show such deference?

The blinding light gradually faded.

Everyone also saw the figure appearing beside Taoist Shouren and saw that face.

In an instant, cold sweat broke out.

It's Lu Ye!

Great Celestial Lord, how could it be Lu Ye?

No wonder Taoist Taxing became so submissive. Seeing Lu Ye appear would make any sect in the Fourth Heaven grovel in fear!

Because this Lu Ye, he truly kills, and he truly wipes out entire sects!
