229: Chapter 228 You should kill yourself.

At this moment, in front of the main gate of the Jingfeng Escort Agency, Qin Changsheng, Qin Changan, and Head Escort Lin Xiao were already waiting quietly, their calm expressions forming a sharp contrast with the oppressive atmosphere around them.

Qin Changan was dressed in black martial attire, his Face steady and devoid of any worry.

Head Escort Lin Xiao's eyes were also very calm.

He had also seen that one-armed Immortal, and that person's execution of Spells was not nearly as composed as Qin Changsheng's.

Qin Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back between the two, his gaze calmly fixed on the distance, as if the impending "Immortal" was nothing more than an insignificant ant, not worth a second thought.

Soon after, the luxurious gilded carriage slowly came to a halt. Over a dozen Martial Artists in martial attire on both sides of the carriage immediately stepped forward, lining up on either side, their eyes warily fixed on the three in front of the escort agency, their bodies radiating Killing Intent.

The dozens of Martial Forest experts following behind the carriage also stopped, surrounding the area. Their gazes converged on the entrance of the Jingfeng Escort Agency with varying expressions—awe, schadenfreude, and curiosity. They all wanted to see how this "Immortal" would wipe out the Jingfeng Escort Agency and how Qin Changsheng's trio would struggle in their final moments.

A moment later, a burly middle-aged man in a brocade robe beside the carriage stepped forward: "Head Escort Lin Xiao, come out and meet your death! My master has ordered you to take your own life to atone for your sins. Out of consideration for our past friendship, I can still leave you with a whole corpse; otherwise, today, not even a chicken or dog will be left alive in your Jingfeng Escort Agency!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings instantly fell silent. The surrounding Martial Forest experts held their breath, their eyes falling on Head Escort Lin Xiao, waiting for his reaction.

Some showed schadenfreude, feeling that Head Escort Lin Xiao was certainly doomed.

Others sighed softly but still did not dare to step forward and intervene.

Head Escort Lin Xiao did not respond. Instead, he gritted his teeth and whispered to Qin Changsheng, "Immortal Master, this person is Chief Escort Chen of the Weiyuan Escort Agency in the Capital City!"

Qin Changsheng nodded slightly.

From Head Escort Lin Xiao's recent actions, it was clear he and this Chief Escort Chen shared a deep-seated hatred.

Qin Changsheng slowly raised his right hand. Without any wasted movement, a wisp of a fireball quietly burst forth, carrying a faint ripple of spiritual power. With extreme Speed, it flew straight toward Chief Escort Chen not far away.

Chief Escort Chen was staring arrogantly at Head Escort Lin Xiao, waiting for him to end his life. He hadn't paid any attention to the three of them at all, much less expected someone to suddenly attack him.

He didn't even have time to react, let alone cry out, before the fireball struck his chest.

In an instant, red light flared, and a scorching Aura immediately spread. Under the impact of the Spell, Chief Escort Chen's body dissolved at a visible rate. In less than half a breath, he turned into a pile of black ash. When the wind blew, it dissipated into the air, leaving no trace behind except for a small scorched mark on the ground.

This scene was too sudden and too eerie. All the Martial Forest experts present were stunned. After a brief, dead silence, a series of exclamations erupted, their tones filled with disbelief and fear.

"What?! What kind of method is this?!"

"A casual Spell turned Chief Escort Chen to ash... Is this also an Immortal?!"

"Who would have thought! There is actually an Immortal presiding over the Jingfeng Escort Agency! No wonder they dared to be so calm; they have something to rely on!"

"I wonder which of these two Immortals is stronger?"

"It must be the Immortal Master on Chief Escort Chen's side!"

"I think the Immortal Master from the Jingfeng Escort Agency is stronger!"

The Martial Forest experts who had been surrounding them with various expressions were now all filled with fear. They retreated several steps, no longer daring to approach the Jingfeng Escort Agency.

Originally, they thought the Jingfeng Escort Agency was surely doomed this time.

But they hadn't expected the Jingfeng Escort Agency to also have an Immortal.

At that moment, a soft cough came from inside the carriage.

Following that, the brocade curtain of the carriage was slowly pulled back by a fair and slender hand, and a figure slowly stepped down from the carriage.

The person was dressed in a brocade robe and carried an air of arrogance. His left sleeve was empty, clearly missing an arm.

Qin Changsheng's gaze fell on the man. After seeing clearly who it was, a subtle flash of surprise crossed his eyes.

Because the person who stepped down was actually his fellow townsman, Zhang Han.

Back then, Zhang Han, Hu Nan, Zhao Lei, Li Hu, and Lin Yao had gone to the Heavenly Sword Sect together to seek a master and learn.

However, because Zhang Han looked down on Qin Changsheng, they had no further contact.

Originally, Qin Changsheng had planned to go to the Capital City to find Zhang Han, but he hadn't expected Zhang Han to appear here as an enemy.

Zhang Han landed slowly, his gaze sweeping over the charred mark left by Chief Escort Chen. A hint of gravity flashed in his eyes.

After all, to be able to kill Chief Escort Chen with a casual Spell, the opponent's strength was clearly not weak. Although he had something to rely on this time, he was also afraid of encountering a truly tough opponent.

So, at this moment, he planned to minimize the matter.

However, when his gaze fixed on Qin Changsheng, the worry and wariness on his Face instantly vanished, replaced by deep disdain and arrogance. A mocking smile even tugged at the corner of his mouth, and his heart completely settled.

In Zhang Han's memory, Qin Changsheng was just an insignificant, low-level ordinary Disciple in the Heavenly Sword Sect's Outer Sect, a Disciple with mediocre Aptitude and low cultivation.

Even though he had lost an arm and his cultivation had suffered, in his view, dealing with an unranked Outer Sect Disciple like Qin Changsheng was still more than enough. Even without using Spells, he could easily kill him with just one hand.

The method Qin Changsheng used to kill Chief Escort Chen just now seemed to him like nothing more than some side-door trick, not enough to make him wary.

Now, he was no longer prepared to let Qin Changsheng go.

He planned to use Qin Changsheng to establish his prestige.

That way, the entire Northern Wei would look up to him.

"Qin Changsheng?" Zhang Han spoke in an arrogant tone. "I wondered who had the audacity to ruin my plans and kill my men. I didn't expect it to be you, the trash of the Sect."

Qin Changsheng wasn't very surprised by Zhang Han's words.

After all, back in the Sect, Zhang Han used to speak to Qin Changsheng like this as well.

"So it is Senior Brother Zhang. We haven't met in years; I didn't expect us to meet here."

"Today's matter is just a misunderstanding. Why not give me some Face and let's just call it even today?"

Qin Changsheng gave Zhang Han a chance for the sake of being from the same town.

But hearing Qin Changsheng's words, Zhang Han acted as if he had heard the world's biggest joke. He suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly, his laughter unrestrained and filled with deep mockery and disdain.

"Face? Qin Changsheng, a piece of trash like you has Face?"

Zhang Han's expression instantly darkened: "My man was killed by you just like that, and you want to wipe it all away with a 'misunderstanding' and 'calling it even'? Why don't you take a look at yourself in a mirror? Are you even worthy of telling me to call it even?"

Qin Changsheng shook his head slightly. He never expected Zhang Han to be so aggressive. He had taken the initiative to step back, but the other party not only showed no gratitude but acted this way instead.

Originally, Qin Changsheng, for the sake of their shared hometown, didn't want to make things difficult for Zhang Han and wanted to leave him a chance to live.

But he hadn't expected Zhang Han to be so ungrateful.

"Senior Brother Zhang, what do you want?" Qin Changsheng asked.

"What do I want? It's simple! Take your own life now to atone for your sins. Use your life to pay for my subordinate's life! Once you're dead, I will personally kill everyone in the Jingfeng Escort Agency and raze this place to the ground to satisfy my hatred!"

Zhang Han pointed at the Jingfeng Escort Agency and said.

At these words, Qin Changsheng also laughed.

In Qin Changsheng's eyes, Zhang Han was already a dead man.

Furthermore, he could obtain that millennium warm jade on him without paying any price.

"In that case, then go to your death!" As soon as Qin Changsheng's words fell, a highly condensed and powerful Pressure, far beyond Zhang Han's imagination, erupted from Qin Changsheng like a thunderclap. With a world-destroying Aura, it pressed down fiercely toward Zhang Han as fast as lightning.

This Pressure was heavy and chilling. Wherever it passed, the air seemed to solidify.

Previously, Zhang Han had been full of arrogance, not taking Qin Changsheng seriously at all, treating him as the low-cultivation Outer Sect trash who could be bullied at will. Even though Qin Changsheng had revealed a Spell, he only considered it a side-door trick.

But the moment this Pressure touched him, the arrogance and disdain on Zhang Han's Face instantly froze, replaced by extreme horror, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

He didn't even have a chance to resist, let alone circulate his spiritual power to block it. That powerful Pressure was like a thousand-pound boulder, pinning him fiercely to the ground. His knees slammed heavily onto the bluestone floor with a dull thud. The spiritual power throughout his body instantly dispersed, and he didn't even have the strength to lift his head.

It felt as if his chest was being tightly gripped by an invisible giant hand. His breathing became rapid, and the bones throughout his body made an unbearable creaking sound. All color drained from his Face, leaving it as white as paper.

"Foun... Foundation Establishment?!" Zhang Han struggled to lift his head, his eyes fixed on Qin Changsheng. His lips trembled, and his voice was raspy and broken. His eyes were filled with unbelievable terror, as if he had seen the most inconceivable thing in the world.

He was all too familiar with this Pressure. Only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could emit such a terrifying Aura. It was a world of difference compared to a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator!

He never imagined that Qin Changsheng, whom he had looked down on, mocked, and treated as trash for years, would actually be a Foundation Establishment expert!

While he himself, after cultivating with all his might for so long and exhausting his heart's blood, was only a Fourth Level of Qi Refining Cultivator. Before a Foundation Establishment expert, he was like an ant, unable to withstand a single blow.

Regret instantly flooded Zhang Han's heart like a tide. He was so filled with regret that his intestines nearly turned green.

If he had known Qin Changsheng was so powerful, if he had known he had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, even if he were given a hundred times more courage, he wouldn't have dared to be so aggressive, wouldn't have dared to offend Qin Changsheng, and certainly wouldn't have dared to claim he would raze the Jingfeng Escort Agency or demand Qin Changsheng take his own life.

But there is no medicine for regret in this world; everything was too late.

A glimmer of a desire to survive flashed in Zhang Han's eyes. He wanted to beg for mercy, to plead for Qin Changsheng to spare his life, to express his regret. But the Pressure Qin Changsheng released was too powerful, firmly suppressing his throat, preventing him from uttering a single word. He could only make raspy, wheezing sounds, his eyes filled with pleading and despair.

Qin Changsheng looked at Zhang Han on the ground, who was like a stray dog. There was not a hint of pity in his eyes, only coldness.

Toward such arrogant, aggressive, and reckless people, he never stayed his hand.

In the next instant, the Pressure around Qin Changsheng surged again. An even more terrifying and chilling Aura swept out, like a tsunami, pressing down on Zhang Han once more.

Zhang Han was already unable to hold on. Encountering this even more powerful Pressure, his body instantly gave out. He violently spat out a mouthful of blood, which stained the bluestone floor in front of him. His gaze instantly became vacant, and the Aura around him completely vanished. His body slumped softly to the ground, no longer making any movement, his life force completely extinguished.
