Asura Mad Emperor

"You…"

"Pu…"

Two sounds emerged, the first was Ding Hao's voice speaking.

The second was the faint sound of a spear penetrating flesh.

Before Ding Hao could finish his word "you," the next moment, Ma Jie's body was pierced through by a blood-colored spear, leaving him speechless, eyes wide and stunned, still unable to recover.

Ma Jie looked incredulously at Qinchuan, unable to comprehend how Qinchuan could have suddenly struck, not even giving him a chance to react.

Clutching onto his last breath, he pointed at Qinchuan, "You… you have no respect for martial virtue!"

His mind raced to recall any details about Qinchuan, wondering when he had offended him.

But Ma Jie had too many enemies. Countless figures flashed through his mind, yet he couldn't recall when he had provoked Qinchuan.

Then, he took his last breath and no longer showed any signs of life, truly dying with his eyes open.

The incident happened too quickly. It was only now that Ding Hao reacted, staring blankly at Qinchuan, equally puzzled and not understanding why Qinchuan would suddenly kill Ma Jie.

Ma Jie was, in fact, the villain that Ding Hao and his wife had encountered in the Southern Prefecture, with his wife being injured by the Great Songyang Divine Palm. Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire

Ding Hao truly wished he could grind Ma Jie's bones to dust and skin him alive to quell the hatred in his heart, but he and his wife were unable to subdue the man when they fought together, and now alone, he stood even less chance.

However, Qinchuan had unexpectedly made a move, easily quelling Ma Jie's life.

Killing Ma Jie was like slaughtering a chicken or dog to Qinchuan; he paid it no heed. Putting away his long spear, he indifferently said, "In my life, I detest two kinds of people the most, one who bullies the weak and fears the strong, and two, the adulterers, the thieves of virtue.

"This man cultivated the Great Songyang Divine Palm. If I'm not mistaken, he must be the one who injured your wife."

Ding Hao nodded in confirmation, "His name is Ma Jie, a flower-picking thief who does no evil deed undone. Half a year ago, my wife and I encountered him committing crimes in the Southern Prefecture, and it was quite a scene.

"However, not only is his strength formidable, but his movement technique is also exceptional. At that time, my wife and I failed to capture him. Instead, we were injured by his counterattack. Now that Young Master Qin has removed him, it truly is a cause for universal celebration."

Qinchuan, having lived nine lives, couldn't be considered a major villain, but his hands were stained with countless blood, and he certainly wasn't a paragon of chivalry, otherwise, he wouldn't bear the name Asura.

However, Qinchuan would never extend his Asura's hand towards the innocent.

Perhaps even influenced by Luo Ling'er years ago, he naturally sympathized with the weak, hence he couldn't help but aid those confronted by bullies.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have subsequently captured the fierce beasts in the Great Wilderness and confined the demon beasts within the Heavenly Demon Forest when he saw members of the Human Race being hunted by various beasts and demon beasts in his later life.

He eliminated Ma Jie in a single strike not only because of Ma Jie's feud with Ding Hao but also because Ma Jie's cultivated technique was the Great Songyang Technique.

The Great Songyang Technique also had another name, Yin Harvesting and Yang Fortifying Technique, a cultivation process that involved harvesting the vital yin of women, an indisputable evil technique.

Furthermore, in the early stages of cultivating this technique, it only required the harvesting of a woman's vital yin without harming her foundation.

Yet, as the cultivation of this technique progressed, the demand for women's Yin Qi grew more and more intense, eventually even extracting their essence blood. Women who were harvested could not survive.

If such a person were allowed to continue growing, he would inevitably become a scourge. Therefore, Qinchuan struck without the slightest hesitation.

Qinchuan's public assault caused a stir on the street.

At that moment, numerous martial artists and cultivators turned their heads, "Who is this idiot? Daring to injure someone on the streets of Spirit Martial City?"

"Spirit Martial City has long-established prohibitions against fighting and violence within the city. This person not only attacked but even killed someone. This is undoubtedly disrespecting the face of the Lord of Spirit Martial City."

"How outrageous, he's not just disrespecting the City Lord, it's like digging the earth on the Dragon King's head, completely oblivious to life and death!"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, surrounding Qinchuan and Ding Hao, as if waiting for Spirit Martial City's response.

As expected, the next moment.

Two powerful auras shot up into the sky from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, racing towards them.

At the same time, a thunderous voice echoed in the void.

"Audacious scoundrel, daring to cause trouble in Spirit Martial City, you really have the guts of a bear and the heart of a leopard!"

The next moment, two identical-looking old men with white beards and long hair, dressed in gray robes, appeared before Qinchuan.

Both old men had identical appearances, expressions, and clothing, as if they were carved out of the same mold.

However, judging by the aura emitted by the two, the one on the left had reached the early stages of Dao Palace Realm while the one on the right was already at the intermediate stages of Dao Palace Realm.

The two flanked Qinchuan and Ding Hao from the left and the right, their gazes stern.

"You brazen scoundrel! Committing violence in the streets and completely disregarding our Spirit Martial City's laws, surrender immediately!"

As they spoke, the auras of the two Dao Palace experts swelled, with a fearsome pressure emanating in all directions toward Qinchuan.

Standing behind Qinchuan, Ding Hao was not in the direct center of the pressure, but he too felt the terrifying force, struggling to breathe.

Yet he still managed to step forward with difficulty, speaking up against the daunting pressure, "I report to you both, sirs, this cultivator named Ma Jie is an evil cultivator who thrives on wicked deeds, specializing in harvesting the primordial Yin of young girls. He caused a great uproar in Southern Prefecture in the past. Young Master Qin eliminated this evildoer to rid the people of a scourge. I hope the protectors can see that there was just cause and spare Young Master Qin."

The two protectors visibly paused—the name Ma Jie was unfamiliar to them, but towards such evil doers who prey on young girls, they felt no sympathy whatsoever.

As the two protectors hesitated, someone in the surrounding crowd suddenly spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Since Spirit Martial City has long held rules against private fights within the city, regardless of whether this person is a demon or a villain, it is ultimately this lad who has violated the regulations. May the two protectors enforce justice."

"Without rules, there's no order. Protectors, please punish this youth strictly!"

These people had just seen Qinchuan's swift actions—although he only had the cultivation level of the Fifth Layer of Spirit Martial, his strength was quite remarkable.

All these people had come for the unborn Spiritual Treasure within the Spirit Martial Great Tomb. There was only one treasure, but as one could observe from everyone in the city at this moment, their fervor for the Spiritual Treasure was palpable.

If they could use the City Lord's Mansion to eliminate this competitor in advance, there would be one less rival in the Spirit Martial Great Tomb tomorrow, which would be more than welcome.

Many martial artists also thought of this and started to instigate from the sidelines, "Yes, punish this youth severely, to uphold the city laws!"

"For committing violence and injuring others in the street, his crime is atrocious. Please, protectors, pass judgment on this youth!"

Qinchuan scanned the numerous martial artists around him, well aware of what was on their minds. With a haughty expression, he scorned in all directions, "A bunch of disorganized rabble. If being human is like you, all selfish and profit-seeking with no righteousness in your hearts, vainly trying to follow the Way, you are deluded indeed."

His words were not directed at the two Dao Palace Realm cultivators but at the onlookers.

The meaning was clear, "This young master eliminated a public nuisance, acting righteously on behalf of heaven. You all lack morals and are selfish, never destined for greatness, unable to make substantial progress on the path of cultivation."

Many in the crowd turned red-faced with these remarks, but even more martial artists were angered, shouting in unison, "Insolent fool! How dare you speak so wildly about the Great Way!"

The two protectors, although momentarily influenced by Qinchuan, quickly came to their senses. They were tasked with enforcing the city's laws, and now that Qinchuan had broken them, it was time to capture him.

Whether he was a violent offender or a champion of the people could perhaps be judged by the City Lord himself.

Resolute, the two protectors' auras intensified even further, pressing down on Qinchuan like towering mountains, about to crush him from above.
