Wuxia: Ning Zhongze, who became a disciple of Mount Hua, is shrouded in blue silver.

Zhao Qing clapped and cheered, "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

Ding Minjun's face turned pale, her heart filled with hatred.

She hated Zhao Qing, hated Zhou Zhiruo, and hated Song Qingshu and Zhang Wuji even more.

She was powerless because her martial arts skills were too poor to defeat Zhao Qing, Song Qingshu, and Zhang Wuji.

With no hope of revenge, Ding Minjun was utterly desperate.

Zhang Wuji and Song Qingshu glared at Zhao Qing and loudly questioned, "You should keep your promise."

Zhao Qing smiled and said, "Okay."

After saying that, Zhao Qing released Zhou Zhiruo, opened the door and said to her, "Miss Zhou, you can leave now."

Zhou Zhiruo was conflicted and didn't know what to do.

Zhang Wuji quickly said, "Zhiruo, I'm sorry, this is the only way I can protect you and set you free."

"Go, as long as you're alive, you'll have a chance."

Zhou Zhiruo then realized what was happening.

Zhang Wuji and Song Qingshu's performance just now greatly disappointed her.

But Zhang Wuji was right, there was no point in her staying.

If you can't save others, you can't save yourself either.

Song Qingshu and Zhang Wuji risked their lives for her; if they don't leave now, their sacrifice will be in vain.

But what can I do after I leave?

Zhao Qing is highly skilled in martial arts; even if I practiced my whole life, I couldn't beat him.

Song Qingshu then said, "Zhiruo, go to Wudang. My grandmaster will take you in and protect you."

Zhou Zhiruo immediately saw hope!

She still has hope!

Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang, will definitely be able to kill Zhao Qing!

With that thought in mind, Zhou Zhiruo no longer hesitated and turned to leave.

But Zhao Qing caught up with her, and she was arrested as soon as she left the cell.

Zhang Wuji cursed, "Shameless scoundrel! Are you going to break your promise?"

"Shameless scoundrel! What kind of hero goes back on his word?"

Song Qingshu also cursed angrily.

Zhao Qing sneered, "You call me a scoundrel, then I'm definitely not a hero. I, Zhao Qing, have never considered myself a hero."

"I didn't go back on my word. What I said before was that I was considering letting her go, not that I would definitely let her go."

"I've already let her off the hook once. Her slowness is her own fault, it has nothing to do with me."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Zhao Qing laughed loudly, and Zhou Zhiruo angrily slapped him.

Zhao Qing easily grabbed her wrist, picked her up, and carried her away.

Zhou Zhiruo continued to curse and struggle, and Zhao Qing said, "Miss Zhou, I'm doing this for your own good."

"Your master is right outside the door. You wouldn't be able to stand it if you saw him."

"That's why I asked you to avoid it; see how considerate I am of you."

Zhao Qing carried Zhou Zhiruo directly to the top floor, had bathwater prepared, washed her clean, and then began his actions...

"Ding! Forced misconduct, instigating others to commit crimes... system triggered."

"Congratulations, host, you have received the following rewards: Perfected Wuqiu Yijue, Perfected Seventh Step of Crimson Fire Divine Art!"

Zhao Qing immediately grasped the essence of these techniques.

The Yi Jue technique has been perfected, and the seventh step of the Crimson Fire Divine Skill has been perfected.

Zhao Qing's strength did not break through the realm, but his combat power increased significantly!

The Wuqiu Yijue is a support-type martial art. It is not very offensive, but its support effect is extremely strong, and it can make ordinary martial arts extremely powerful.

It can upgrade the level of all martial arts skills.

Martial arts are divided into high and low levels. Huashan Swordplay is low level, while Changhong Swordplay is high level.

The "Easy-to-Cure Technique" can transform the Huashan Swordplay into a high-level swordplay.

His role is to push the limits of martial arts.

Zhao Qing is now using the Huashan Sword Technique, and its power is no weaker than when he used the Changhong Sword Technique before.

When he uses the Rainbow Sword Technique, its power is much stronger than before.

If Zhao Qing were to fight Cheng Shifei now, he would definitely win.

The key is that he mastered the seventh step of the Crimson Fire Divine Skill.

The seventh step is the highest level of the Crimson Fire Divine Skill.

Combat power will increase significantly, and cultivation speed will also increase.

The initial stage of the Crimson Fire Divine Skill can only absorb 40% of an enemy's cultivation.

The intermediate level can absorb 50%.

At its highest level, it can absorb all of an enemy's cultivation.

This means that if Zhao Qing refines a Grandmaster or a master at the Unity of Heaven and Man realm, he can directly become a Grandmaster or a master at the Unity of Heaven and Man realm.

The premise is that you can defeat your opponent.

Zhao Qing's current martial arts skills have not yet reached the level of a master who has achieved the unity of heaven and man.

But defeating a Grandmaster is not a problem.

After getting dressed, Zhao Qing said to Zhou Zhiruo, "You can go now, I won't stop you."

Zhou Zhiruo sneered, "Aren't you afraid of telling Master Zhang about this place and having him kill you?"

Zhao Qing smiled and said, "That's great, just what I wanted."

"Zhang Sanfeng won't kill me so easily; I have the Mongol Yuan Dynasty behind me!"

"Zhang Sanfeng is indeed powerful; I probably couldn't beat him in a one-on-one fight."

"But the Mongol army will help me; he alone cannot kill me."

"There's only one way to kill me: gather all the experts and attack me together. That's when you'll have a chance."

"I cultivate the Crimson Fire Divine Art, and the stronger my opponent, the happier I am."

"If I refine them all, my martial arts skills will improve rapidly."

Zhao Qing's words made Zhou Zhiruo understand, and she asked, "You've been doing evil from the very beginning, just to lure out experts to challenge you?"

Zhao Qing smiled and nodded: "Miss Zhou is right, that's exactly what I think."

"You might not believe it, but I had no choice but to do evil; I had no other option."

There are many evil people in the world, but even more hypocrites.

"Those self-proclaimed heroes from righteous families, how many evil deeds have they done behind the scenes!"

"I'm not a good person, but I don't do hypocritical things either. I admit, I'm a bad person."

"Let's go, before I change my mind."

Zhou Zhiruo stared at Zhao Qing, who indeed intended to let her go.

Although she had lost her virginity and wanted to end her life, she felt that dying like that was not worth it.

As long as you're alive, there's still a chance.

If he's going to die, he'll have to wait until that villain Zhao Qing is eliminated and the Emei Sect has someone to carry on the legacy.

So Zhou Zhiruo rallied herself, turned around, and left.

When she reached the second floor, Zhao Qing caught up and called out, "Miss Zhou, wait!"

Zhou Zhi stopped and sneered, "What, has the Prince Consort changed his mind?"

Zhao Qing shook his head and said, "We are already husband and wife. I, Zhao Qing, may be a bad person, but I will not mistreat my woman."

It doesn't matter whether you love or hate me, I will be sincere to you.

"With your current martial arts skills, you'll never be able to take revenge."

After speaking, Zhao Qing slowly drew the Heaven-Slaying Sword and carefully handed it to Zhou Zhiruo.

Zhou Zhiruo took the Heaven-Slaying Sword from Zhao Qing, but before she could even grip it properly, Zhao Qing had already swiftly drawn the Rainbow Sword. A flash of cold light, and the blade fell!

"Snap!"

The Yitian Sword, hailed as the finest sword, was cleaved in two by Zhao Qing's single strike.

While Zhou Zhiruo was in shock, Zhao Qing took out two pieces of white cloth from the broken sword and handed them directly to Zhou Zhiruo.

"The secret of the Heaven Sword lies here."

"The sword contains two top-tier martial arts manuals: the Nine Yin Manual and the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms."

"With your aptitude, you can improve your skills by learning just a little bit."

"But if you want to take revenge on me, the ordinary martial arts of the Emei Sect are not enough."

"By the way, I've already made the Crimson Fire Divine Skill public. You can check it out if you're interested."

"However, given your character, you probably wouldn't learn such unorthodox martial arts from me."

After saying that, he handed the item to Zhou Zhiruo.

Zhao Qing walked to the door and saw that the soldiers were still busy. He immediately said, "Alright, tidy up and release the nun."

After giving his instructions, Zhao Qing turned and left.

After a while, Zhou Zhiruo helped Abbess Miejue out.

Abbess Miejue stared at Zhou Zhiruo and asked seriously.

"Zhiruo, why did that man surnamed Zhao let you go? To be honest, did you give in to him?"

Zhou Zhiruo immediately knelt down, prostrating herself at Abbess Miejue's feet: "Master, please forgive me, I was indeed forcibly taken by him..."
