I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 52 Why did he want to kill you?

After a fierce battle, he was exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Ye Qingzhou felt physically exhausted, but mentally he felt incredibly satisfied, like someone who had been starving for a long time finally getting a full meal.

The battle with Zhan Lie allowed him to experience the thrill of walking the line between life and death, a feeling he hadn't felt in a long time.

It was this stimulation that allowed Ye Qingzhou's potential to be unleashed, enabling him to comprehend the wonderful use of combining the Heart Sword with sword techniques, and even see a direction for improvement.

However, now is clearly not a good time to explore and deduce.

"Hey, wake up."

Ye Qingzhou dragged the two men out of the dump truck, threw them on the roadside, and then slapped them hard across the face until it was swollen.

Before the two could even make a move, they were affected by Zhan Lie's Blood River True Qi, and their consciousness was plunged into a terrifying mental illusion.

Startled awake by Ye Qingzhou's slap, he instinctively screamed, "Ahhh! There's a ghost!"

"Brother-in-law, I told you that those who do many evil deeds will surely perish! We're being haunted by vengeful spirits!"

"Shut up! We haven't killed anyone, so where would these vengeful spirits come from?"

"Oh right, where did that ghost come from?"

"If you don't shut up, you two will become ghosts."

Only when Ye Qingzhou spoke did the two realize his presence, and they immediately jumped like quails, trying to feign ignorance: "We were just passing by, it has nothing to do with me!"

Ye Qingzhou sneered: "I sensed malice from you. Either tell me who instigated this, or you will die in his place."

After speaking, he placed his hand on his sword, and his eyes became narrow and sharp.

The two men felt a chill on their necks and, unable to withstand the pressure, confessed that they were indeed paid to do their jobs, and that the person who bribed them was Li Wei's butler.

"Three hundred thousand for one of my hands and one foot?"

"Mmm-hmm-hmm."

The two nodded vigorously, filled with deep regret. Had they known that Ye Qingzhou was such a ruthless killer, they would never have dared to act so recklessly.

Especially when they saw Zhan Lie lying dead on the ground not far away, the two of them shrank back and dared not meet Ye Qingzhou's gaze.

Ye Qingzhou held out his hand: "Give it to me."

"Take what?"

"Three hundred thousand."

"what?"

"Money or your life?"

As soon as Ye Qingzhou drew his Flying Frost Sword an inch from its sheath, the other party cried out, "We only received a deposit of 100,000 yuan. We can only get the other 200,000 yuan after the deal is done!"

"I don't care, it's 300,000, not a penny less."

In the end, the two had no choice but to pay the money with tears streaming down their faces, and then fled the scene as if they were escaping.

A few minutes later, the security personnel from Mingjian Group and the law enforcement team from the Wushu Association finally arrived.

"I am Sun Lichao. What happened here? Why has a battle broken out between professional martial artists?!"

Sun Lichao was furious. Today, the second squad of their Xingcheng Martial Arts Association's law enforcement team was on duty, and now this has happened, with people even dying at the scene. They'll probably have to write more than a dozen reports!

Liu Jianmin, the security manager of Mingjian Group, recognized Sun Lichao and quickly stepped forward with a smile: "Hello, Captain Sun."

"No, I'm not feeling well!"

Sun Lichao was already furious, so he also started to dislike Liu Jianmin.

Although Liu Jianmin came from the Liu family of Xingcheng and was the manager of the security department of Mingjian Group, he was not even a professional martial artist. He could only bow and scrape and apologize to Sun Lichao.

"Captain Sun, don't worry, we will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

Ye Qingzhou was then summoned for questioning, and he truthfully stated, "I was cultivating in seclusion in the park when this person suddenly appeared and threatened to kill me, so I killed him."

Sun Lichao was speechless upon hearing this. What kind of reason was that?

"So you have a grudge against him?"

"I think so."

"What do you mean by 'should exist'? It's either there or it isn't! Explain clearly why he wanted to kill you!"

"Maybe it's because I killed his brother before."

"!!!"

Upon hearing that Ye Qingzhou had committed other murders, Sun Lichao almost ordered his arrest on the spot so that he could be brought back for rigorous interrogation and perhaps solve another serial murder case.

However, his subordinates quickly verified Zhan Lie's identity: "Captain, the deceased is Zhan Lie, a Class A wanted criminal, codenamed Blood Wolf, a martial arts criminal of the Heart Fiend School, with a professional cultivation level of six, and a bounty of 200 million!"

Meanwhile, the fact that Ye Qingzhou had previously killed Zhan Lie's younger brother, Zhan Hong, was also on record, which terrified Sun Lichao.

Good heavens, Zhan Hong and Zhan Lie are both formidable brothers. Even if he were to face them, it would take him quite a bit of effort to take them down.

Who exactly is this young man? He's so young yet so bloodthirsty, it's unbelievable!

After investigating the matter thoroughly, Sun Lichao dared not make things difficult for Ye Qingzhou. Upon learning that Ye Qingzhou was one of the participants in this year's sword fighting competition, he politely released him and even transferred the 200 million yuan reward directly to Ye Qingzhou's account.

Just kidding! If I don't curry favor with such a martial arts genius now, I might not even have the chance to do so in the future!

Two days later, in the Qian district.

The atmosphere at the competition was absolutely electric, with a constant, deafening roar of noise.

The audience was filled with celebrities, business tycoons, and popular stars, all gathered to witness this annual martial arts extravaganza.

Hello everyone, I'm Xin'er.

"Hello everyone, I'm Langzi."

In the commentary booth, a man and a woman smiled. Both were well-known commentators who had been invited by the Mingjian Group at great expense to provide commentary on the live event.

Especially the female commentator Xin'er, whose appearance caused a sensation among the audience, with howls and whistles filling the air.

There's no way around it, she's just so big. Big is good, big is wonderful, so big that people can't help but exclaim when they see her.

Of course, Xin'er is no mere pretty face.

She possesses the strength of a professional-level martial artist. Although her actual combat ability is lacking, she is beautiful, has a hot figure, and has a good grasp of theoretical knowledge. In addition, she speaks in a down-to-earth manner, so she is extremely popular online and is one of the top commentators in Dongji Country.

As for the prodigal son, his commentary style was equally easy to understand and humorous, which made him famous in the region.

Xin'er wore a V-neck top today, acting as if she owned the place, and said in a sweet, cloying tone, "Besides me and Langzi, Mingjian Group has also invited a special guest today..."

"Let's give a round of applause to Nangong Yi, the Star-Picking Soaring Hero!"

"Hello everyone, I am Nangong Yi."

A dashing and exceptionally handsome young nobleman sat down in the guest seat with a smile on his face.

What is most striking is his pair of flawless, skillful hands, as if with a gentle reach he could pluck the stars from the sky and hold them in his arms to play with at will.

Nangong Yi's appearance caused countless women present to scream.

Born into a prestigious family, exceptionally talented, and with a face as handsome as Pan An, there were very few women in the world who didn't like him.

"Yishen, who do you think will win this sword fighting tournament?"

Xin'er asked the question that the audience wanted to know.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yi sighed, "If you had asked me the day before yesterday, I would have said that Zhu Jinfeng had the highest probability, but now, I think the championship is no longer in doubt."
