Chapter 5283
Qin Lie glared at him: “Old Ghost Zhang, this little bastard killed my apprentice, and you still want to protect him?”
“Protect?”
Manager Zhang stroked his beard and scanned the entire room, “Thousands of eyes saw everything that happened just now clearly.
Zhao Jingfeng launched a surprise attack after admitting defeat, and Kai fought back to protect himself. Both logically and legally, he was not at fault.
But Master Qin, do you intend to violate the rules of Sword Saint City and retaliate in public?”
The surrounding elders echoed:
“Brother Zhang is right. Zhao Jingfeng really can’t afford to lose. He deserves death!”
“Excalibur Villa has always prided itself on being a prestigious and upright family. I never thought such despicable people would emerge from it!”
“If Master Qin were to force his way into action today, he would be making an enemy of all cultivators in the world!”
The discussions surged towards Qin Fenglie like a tide. He looked at the contemptuous eyes around him and felt the countless pointing gazes behind him. His old face turned red as if it had been splashed with blood.
“What a great cultivator!”
Qin Lie suddenly turned towards Kai, his eyes filled with venomous hatred. “Little bastard, remember this! Today’s humiliation, today’s revenge, Divine Sword Villa will repay you a hundredfold! The Sword Sect is protecting you? I want to see if you can protect him forever!”
Kai slowly stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. The Dragon Slaying Sword trembled slightly in his hand, emitting a low dragon roar.
He looked at Qin Lie and said in a low voice that was clearly heard throughout the room, “I, Kai, am in Sword Saint City, waiting for your arrival at the Divine Sword Villa at any time. But if you dare to plot against me again, I won’t just dismember you.”
“you!”
Qin Lie was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he forced himself to suppress his murderous intent under the cold gaze of Zhang, the person in charge.
He took a deep look at the corpse on the ground, then finally swung his sleeves and shouted to the disciples behind him, “Take Zhao Jingfeng’s body back! Let’s go!”
A group of disciples from the Divine Sword Villa hurried forward, wrapped Zhao Jingfeng’s body in white cloth, and left in embarrassment amid countless contemptuous gazes.
As Qin Lie disappeared at the city gate, that oath filled with resentment floated back like a ghost:
“Kai, Sword Sect… let’s wait and see!”
The tense atmosphere on the ring did not ease until everyone from the Divine Sword Villa had completely left.
Zhang, the person in charge, looked at Kai with a complicated expression: “Do you know that killing Zhao Jingfeng is like stirring up a hornet’s nest?”
Kai bowed and said, “I understand, but where the Dao is, I will go even if there are thousands of people. If you can tolerate sneak attacks from behind, what is the point of practicing the Dao of the Sword?”
“What a wonderful place of Tao!”
Zhang, the person in charge, laughed out loud. “I wasn’t wrong about you! Sword Saint City will bear witness to what happened today. If Divine Sword Villa dares to openly retaliate in Sword Saint City, I will not allow it!”
He paused, then pulled out a jade token engraved with sword patterns from his bosom. “This is the Sword Saint City’s ‘Protective Order.’ With this order, you can pass freely through the seven major sword sects in the Fifth Heaven. If you encounter a conflict with the Divine Sword Villa, you can use this order to seek help from the major sects.”
Kai took the jade token, which was warm to the touch, and a faint spiritual energy flowed through it. “Thank you, Senior Zhang.”
“Your injuries are serious. Go down and heal first.”
Zhang patted his shoulder and said, “The champion of the swordsmanship competition must be you.”
Mo Chen quickly stepped forward to support Kai: “Kai, I will take you to heal your injuries.”
Ling Xue and Hu Mazi also came over and looked at Kai’s wound with red eyes.
A group of Sword Sect disciples surrounded them as they walked down the stage. The cultivators along the way made way for them and looked at Kai with awe in their eyes.
This young man, who was at the eighth level of the Sanxian realm and had killed many earthly immortal masters in a row, and even killed the genius of the Shenjian Villa, completely shocked the entire Sword Saint City with his hearty victory.
After returning to the courtyard where the Sword Sect was stationed, Mo Chen immediately took out the healing pills and personally treated Kai’s wounds.
