This Long Ling’Er was truly naive. Did she really think she could suppress and sanction him just by having Xuelian as a backer?

What truly stoked Qin Feng’s killing intent was how Long Ling’Er had completely twisted the truth, branding him an enemy based on nothing but speculation.

Colluding with the Demon God Temple and slaughtering his fellow disciples!

These were unforgivable, heinous crimes!

This was an attempt to slander Qin Feng, to ruin his reputation so completely that he could never recover.

Killing intent surged in Qin Feng’s eyes as a flash of brutality crossed his face. Like a bolt of lightning, he appeared before Long Ling’Er.

Long Ling’Er was taken aback, but a sneer quickly followed. She was already prepared.

She had counted on Qin Feng making a move.

"Aha, Qin Feng! So you really are a spy for the Demon God Temple, lashing out in desperation!"

"Senior Sisters, what are you waiting for? Let’s take down this spy together!"

As she shouted, a pitch-black dagger appeared in her palm with a flick of her wrist.

A dark light flowed from the dagger, its sharp aura seeming capable of slicing through the Void itself.

In an instant, she thrust it at Qin Feng.

The moment the dagger appeared, Qin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. A powerful sense of threat radiated from it, making his skin prickle with pain.

’What a treacherous woman!’

Clearly, Long Ling’Er had been plotting against Qin Feng for a long time, waiting for the moment to reveal her dagger.

’A pity. The weapon is decent, but your strength is too lacking. The gap is still impossible to bridge!’ With a flicker, Qin Feng moved like a phantom, appearing behind Long Ling’Er in the next instant.

A trace of terror appeared in Long Ling’Er’s eyes. Qin Feng’s power far exceeded her imagination.

She couldn’t even react to such speed!

Qin Feng’s gaze was ice-cold, his killing intent flaring. He unleashed his Star True Power from his palm. In an instant, the power tore through the deep blue Protective True Power surrounding Long Ling’Er’s body and, to her utter terror, exploded.

BANG! A massive explosion rang out!

Long Ling’Er struggled to lower her head. Her beautiful face was deathly pale as she looked down at the massive, bloody hole in her lower abdomen.

With just one strike, all the flesh and blood in her torso had been completely vaporized.

She was doomed!

Long Ling’Er raised her head, her gaze sweeping with difficulty over the motionless crowd. Although Ye Qinghua, Jiang Bing’Er, and Wang Yue looked on with a hint of pity, none of them said a word.

Zhang Xuan was indifferent and expressionless.

She turned her gaze toward Xuelian, who was not far away.

From beginning to end, Xuelian’s gaze remained cold, as if Long Ling’Er were a complete stranger.

"Why?" Long Ling’Er muttered to herself.

She had thought her call would be answered by everyone, but she never imagined that not a single person would respond!

Looking indifferently at Long Ling’Er, a fleeting trace of disdain flickered in Xuelian’s eyes.

’It’s true that I have a decent relationship with Long Ling’Er, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to pay the price for her ambition and go get myself killed with her.’

’Junior Sister Long, don’t blame me. You could have provoked anyone, but you just had to provoke Qin Feng. That man is ruthless, decisive, and repays every slight. He’s not like those paragons of virtue you can restrain with appeals to morality and justice. He’s utterly unrestrained, with his own clear lines between good and evil. Plotting against him is simply courting death!’

As she thought this, Xuelian turned her head away.

There was also another, most important point: Xuelian did not believe she could defeat Qin Feng at this moment.

As if reading the fear in Xuelian’s eyes, Long Ling’Er suddenly understood. A bitter smile touched her lips. "I can’t accept this... I can’t accept this..."

A flicker of regret crossed Long Ling’Er’s eyes. Perhaps she should have endured a while longer. If she had, the outcome might not have been like this.

But more than regret, she felt indignation. She was the Princess of the Beiming Kingdom, an elite of All Stars Academy, a famous beauty with countless suitors. And now, in the prime of her life, she was going to die here...

Long Ling’Er let out a sudden, tragic laugh of indignation, her eyes fixed on Qin Feng. The next moment, with a THUD, her body collapsed to the ground, her last breath gone.

Shi Tong witnessed this with her own eyes. Her gaze fell upon Qin Feng, a hint of fear in their depths.

’It’s one thing for this guy to be powerful, but he’s also completely uninhibited.’

’A powerful ’moral’ man isn’t frightening, because he’s bound by countless rules and restrictions. There are countless ways to exploit those weaknesses and kill him.’

’What’s terrifying are the ones who are completely uninhibited, because they have no weaknesses and are utterly unbound.’

"Junior Brother Qin Feng, what do you plan to do with this woman?"

Slightly hesitant, Ye Qinghua looked at Qin Feng as she asked.

Qin Feng glanced at Ye Qinghua. In the expressions of Ye Qinghua, Jiang Bing’Er, and the others, he could see an invisible rift forming.

Standing his ground, Qin Feng read the expressions on the women’s faces. His gaze flickered; he had considered explaining himself, but held back. ’So be it,’ he thought. ’I’m not on the same path as them anyway. They can think whatever they want. As long as they don’t oppose me, it’s fine. But if they do, they shouldn’t blame me for being merciless!’

Qin Feng’s gaze fell on Shi Tong. His eyes flashed as he spoke. "This woman is an elite of the Dark Heavenly Lion Clan from the Demon God Temple. She has comprehended the rare Dark True Power, her strength is considerable, and she is exceptionally beautiful. I plan to capture her and send her to an auction house later. She will surely fetch a handsome price!"

’What? He’s going to sell me as a female slave?’

A flicker of terror flashed through Shi Tong’s pupils. Once sent to a slave auction, her fate would be a living hell, a state worse than death.

Just as the Demon God Temple treated the Human Race, the powerful members of the Demon God Temple captured by All Stars Academy rarely met a good end.

Most were killed on the spot. A small number, due to their value, might be captured and sold as slaves at major auction houses.

A female slave from an Upper-class Barbaric Alien Race could fetch a sky-high price at auction.

Shi Tong’s figure, appearance, and aptitude were all the absolute finest among female alien slaves. A slave like her would be extremely sought-after.

Nearby, upon hearing this, the faces of Ye Qinghua, Jiang Bing’Er, and Wang Yue all changed.

Being sold as a female slave was far crueler than being killed outright.

Looking at Qin Feng, the three women involuntarily took a few steps back.

The methods of this Elder Cyan Dragon were truly even more cruel than they had imagined.

Xuelian looked at Qin Feng with contempt in her eyes. ’Scum. Hmph!’

"Enslave me? In your dreams! I would rather die than become a slave to you Two-legged Sheep!" For the first time, a trace of despair appeared in Shi Tong’s eyes, followed by a flash of resolve.

Qin Feng had been watching Shi Tong closely. With sharp eyes and quick hands, he slapped out with a wisp of Star True Power, instantly dispersing the Dark True Power she was gathering and sealing her One God True Power completely.

’Oops, went a little too far. I almost scared her into committing suicide!’ A cunning smile appeared in Qin Feng’s eyes. How could he possibly be willing to sell a maidservant with such qualifications?

He had already reserved her as a personal maid for that little girl, Honglian.

Who knows, in the future, she might even become his bed-warming maid.

Just as Qin Feng was about to teach Shi Tong a lesson, he suddenly looked up. From outside Gourd Valley, dozens of powerful auras were rushing toward them like meteors from a quarter-mile away.

In less than a few dozen breaths, a streak of golden light took the lead, appearing at the entrance of Gourd Valley.

An overwhelming aura swept in from the distance, and soon, a heroic-looking, golden-haired young man appeared before them. Everyone’s expression changed. The sheer power of this man’s presence was terrifying. Under his aura, the group felt as if they were being crushed by a mountain, and the heavy pressure of death settled in their hearts...
