Ge Wuwei was dressed in white and he held a white jade fan in his hand. He had a gentle and warm smile on his face that made him look like the friendly neighbor next door.
“Please pass me the jade box, Miss Hong Ling,” he said in his deep and gentle voice as he approached Hong Ling.
Hong Ling maintained her mesmerizing smile, yet it was as cold as the look in her eyes.
She passed the jade box to him with a smile on her face.
“You have my thanks!” Ge Wuwei then reached out for the jade box.
“Swoosh!”
Suddenly, a flash of red light charged ferociously toward Ge Wuwei’s hands.
Ge Wuwei smiled with a hint of mockery and his eyes suddenly had a fierce look in them. He immediately unfolded his jade fan.
“Clang!”
Hong Ling’s crimson saber hit the jade fan and sparks appeared in the air along with the clear ringing sound of metals clashing.
People called Ge Wuwei’s fan a jade fan, while in fact it was made of refined iron, hence it was extremely tough and sharp. It could break one’s bones easily, therefore it was also known as a bone-shattering fan.
The difference in strength between Hong Ling and Ge Wuwei was huge. Ge Wuwei was a grade-nine Grandmaster, while Hong Ling was only at grade-five. Such a gap was impossible to be bridged.
After the clashing sounds disappeared, Hong Ling staggered backward. There was more blood trickling from the corners of her mouth.
Ge Wuwei’s handsome face had a strange expression that was impossible to read. He was well aware that Hong Ling would not hand over the jade box so easily and everything was going according to his plan.
He did not want to make Qin Zhicheng his enemy, nor did he want to watch the woman he was interested in, be taken away by another man. Since he could not have her, he would not allow Qin Zhicheng to have her either and the only way to do that was by killing her.
Ge Wuwei smiled coldly as the thought of killing Hong Ling with his own hands flashed across his mind. “Once I destroy her, no one will ever have her.”
“Miss Hong Ling, do you really think you can tease me any way you want just because I am not easily irritated?” He pretended to be mad.
“You are just pretending to be a gentleman,” Hong Ling said with disdain and sneered. Before Earth started its huge transformation, she was a famous social butterfly. She was an orphan, yet she eventually managed to interact with numerous people who had fame and wealth, while remaining chaste. She had seen all kinds of people and encountered all kinds of evil tricks.
Ge Wuwei thought he had hidden his true intention well, yet she already saw through his pretentious facade.
Sadness overwhelmed Hong Ling as she saw the intent to kill in Ge Wuwei’s eyes. Nowadays on Earth, strength determined everything and only the powerful could survive. All tricks and strategies would pale in comparison to absolute strength.
She thought of her master and peers who died horribly and felt extremely bitter inside.
“Stop right there!” Hong Ling shouted.
Ge Wuwei did not stop moving. He suddenly unfolded his bone-shattering fan, with each fan blade covered in a cold glow.
Hong Ling suddenly showed a smile that charmed everyone, then she held the jade box up and walked toward Qin Zhicheng.
Ge Wuwei’s expression changed slightly. The bone-shattering fan flew out of his hand and charged toward Hong Ling, with a sharp sound.
Hong Ling was petrified when she saw the incoming fan, she then said in a terrified voice, “Save me, Mr. Qin!”
“Swoosh!”
A long sword appeared with a flash of light and everyone nearby felt the chill in their bones as the sword was unsheathed.
“Clang!”
Sparks appeared in the air as the bone-shattering fan was knocked back into Ge Wuwei’s hand.
“What’s the meaning of this, Brother Qin?” Ge Wuwei asked angrily.
“Did I not make myself clear? Or did you have trouble understanding my words?” Qin Zhicheng looked at Hong Ling who walked next to him with a nasty expression, then said mockingly, “I said it before, I want both the flower seed and the woman.”
“Thank you for saving my life, Mr. Qin,” Hong Ling thanked him in an enchanting voice as she bowed to him to accentuate her attractive figure. Qin Zhicheng swallowed hard as he watched her doing that.
Ge Wuwei’s eyes clouded over as he became envious. He said coldly, “Brother Qin, she almost cut off my hands. What’s wrong with me reciprocating?”
Qin Zhicheng sneered and said with disdain, “You must be kidding, brother Ge. Hong Ling is only at grade five, how can she even hurt you? Moreover, since she chose to follow me, she is my woman now. Naturally I will protect her from any harm.”
Ge Wuwei’s handsome face gradually became twisted and he no longer hid the killing intent in his eyes. He was extremely disgusted by Qin Zhicheng’s arrogance.
“Mr. Qin, his eyes are so scary!” Hong Ling said as she subconsciously moved closer to Qin Zhicheng. She was scared by the look in Ge Wuwei’s eyes.
This small movement could make a man feel even more accomplished. It was better than when he received compliments.
“Don’t be scared, he would not dare to lay a finger on you,” Qin Zhicheng said arrogantly as he took the chance to hold Hong Ling by her slim waist. He looked at her in the same obscene manner.
“Then you must protect me forever!” Hong Ling said in a soft, mellow and mesmerizing voice. Qin Zhicheng’s bones almost melted from the sweetness in her voice.
“Rest assured, I will… You… I will kill you…”
Just a moment ago, Qin Zhicheng was still lost in Hong Ling’s sweet voice, yet now he suddenly shouted angrily and knocked her into the air with one palm attack.
Everyone looked at Qin Zhicheng and found a dagger in his chest. Blood was gushing from the wound.
Hong Ling rolled on the ground a couple of times and kept coughing up blood. When she looked at Qin Zhicheng again, her eyes were filled with hatred.
Because her master died under Qin Zhicheng’s sword.
“Puff!”
Blood splattered all over the place once Qin Zhicheng pulled out the dagger from his chest. His face contorted from the pain. He took out a small, white ceramic bottle, then poured out some healing powder onto his wound.
His wound stopped bleeding within mere seconds and a scab started to form.
“You sure have a way with ladies, Brother Qin.”
Ge Wuwei was no longer jealous. Seeing Qin Zhicheng getting hurt by Hong Ling made him feel extremely satisfied and he could not help making a sarcastic comment.
“Swoosh!”

In return, he received a powerful streak of Sword Qi.
Ge Wuwei’s face changed slightly. He shifted about ten meters away and dodged the Sword Qi.
“Crack!”
A tree as thick as an adult’s waist was cut down in the middle by the Sword Qi.
Ge Wuwei sneered from afar, yet he no longer tried to provoke Qin Zhicheng.
Qin Zhicheng suddenly looked at Hong Ling like a deadly serpent ready to pounce on its prey and said with a wicked smile, “Do you know the cost you have to pay for hurting me?”
“Kill me if you wish. I am not strong enough to avenge my master, but I will come back to haunt you even when I become a ghost,” Hong Ling said with resolve. Her face no longer looked attractive, but cold and indifferent.
“You want to die? That is a nice wish, but do you really think your wish will come true so easily?” Qin Zhicheng’s eyes looked extremely evil as he said, “Miss Hong Ling, since you are a warrior of the Martial Tao world, have you heard of the Black Giants?”
Everyone’s faces changed after hearing that.
Black Giant was a new creature that appeared after the transformation of Earth. They were 10 feet tall and looked like chimpanzees. This kind of creature was extremely powerful and they were naturally drawn to sex. Not only did they love having intercourse with their own kind, they also loved to do it with other creatures, as long as they were females. They were especially fond of human females, as long as one was captured by such a creature, one would be raped to death.
“Bastard!” Hong Ling shouted furiously. She knew about this infamous creature.
Qin Zhicheng laughed and said wickedly, “Since you do not wish to company me, you can accompany those Black Giants. They are the real bastards.”
Everyone trembled in fear. They did not expect Qin Zhicheng to be so evil.
Fairy Xuan felt especially so, since she was a woman as well. Even though she was Hong Ling’s opponent, she still loathed Qin Zhicheng’s twisted behavior. She said in disgust:
“Killing a person is simple, yet sending your own kind to be degraded by an animal would make you worse than an animal.”
Qin Zhicheng suddenly turned and stared at Fairy Xuan with a wicked stare, then said frivolously, “Are you saying that I am worse than an animal?”
Fairy Xuan raised her eyebrows slightly and gave Qin Zhicheng a disgusted look. “If you say so. I did not know one would be so keen to be called an animal,” Fairy Xuan said sarcastically.
“Then do you want to have a taste of this animal, Fairy Xuan?” Qin Zhicheng said, as his eyes suddenly filled with lust.
“Qin Zhicheng, you are asking for death,” Fairy Xuan said as her expression turned ugly.
“If I can die in your hands, I will definitely die contented,” Qin Zhicheng said wickedly.
“Swoosh!”
A bunch of redbuds bloomed and charged toward Qin Zhicheng with tremendous power.
Each redbud was filled with concentrated Internal Breath. This was an extremely powerful martial skill.
Qin Zhicheng pulled out his long sword and slashed it in the air, unleashing hundreds of streaks of Sword Qi that filled the sky.
“Boom! Boom!”
After a series of deafening explosions, trees were destroyed and rocks were shattered into pieces. It was the result of the clash between two grade-nine Grandmasters.
“Swoosh!”
Once all the explosions ended, a redbud bloomed in the air.
Qin Zhicheng’s face changed and he swung his sword immediately.
“Boom!”
The redbud exploded upon coming into contact with the tip of the sword.
Qin Zhicheng was forced to take ten steps back. His face was grim and his clothes had numerous holes after the explosion. He also looked slightly pale.
Ge Wuwei was shocked to see that Qin Zhicheng had lost.
One of them used the transformation technique of Xiangsi Pavilion, while the other used the Shadow Sword Technique of Sifang Sword Sect.
Fairy Xuan beat Qin Zhicheng’s Shadow Sword Technique with only one extra redbud.
It was that one redbud that had Qin Zhicheng at a disadvantage. Should this fight be one of life and death, Qin Zhicheng would have died.
“Qin Zhicheng, if you still don’t watch your mouth, I will take away your ability to speak forever,” Fairy Xuan said with a cold and murderous look on her beautiful face.
The muscles on Qin Zhicheng’s face spasmed and the corners of his eyes twitched violently. He eventually suppressed the extreme pain and showed an ominous smile.
“You are really strong, Fairy Xuan. I respect that.”
Fairy Xuan replied with a sneer. They were both top warriors of major sects who possessed secret skills that would not be easily revealed. If they really fought with their own lives on the line, no one could say for sure who would win.
Qin Zhicheng looked to Hong Ling and his grim face now wore an evil smile. He then turned to look at Fairy Xuan again and said with a smile, “Fairy Xuan, I am going to bring her with me. Do you want to stop me?”
Fairy Xuan said coldly, “Qin Zhicheng, all your disgusting misdeeds will send you to an early grave.”
“My misdeeds? You must be joking. She is the sole survivor among the 23 people in her sect. Are you not partly responsible for that, Fairy Xuan?” Qin Zhicheng asked mockingly.
Fairy Xuan’s expression froze on her face as she turned speechless. She did not kill anyone, but she did hurt some of them.
“Please calm down, you two. Remember that we are here for the flower seeds, we don’t have to jeopardize our relationships for an unimportant woman,” Ge Wuwei tried to stop the fight.

“Mr. Ge has a point. Why don’t we split the flower seeds first?” The elder from Tianlong Fort suggested.
The flower seeds were still with Qin Zhicheng. Others would not feel assured until they each had their own seed.
Fairy Xuan nodded. After all, they came here for the flower seeds. Once they got their hands on a seed and cultivated more of them, they would be able to create a large number of skilled warriors.
Qin Zhicheng was reluctant to give away the flower seeds. If he could bring these seeds back, not only would he benefit greatly from them, he could also create numerous masters who could in turn make Sifang Sword Sect more powerful.
However, he knew clearly that it was impossible to keep them all for himself. The moment he revealed any intention to keep them for himself, he would become the target of everyone else.
