But the guy in front of her was clearly not like that!

He has no martial arts skills at all, how did he kill Qi Gulong?

Do you rely on your mouth?

Besides this, she really couldn't think of any other special skills Jing Zhe had!

He glanced at the sky and said, "Stop talking nonsense. I won't believe a word you say, and no matter how much you say, it won't affect the speed at which I draw my sword to kill you! I have half an hour left. If you have any last words, say them now!"

Considering that Jing Zhe is really good-looking and much more pleasing to the eye than the people he killed before, Qiu Qianqian has already taken good care of him. Before, those people didn't have such a long buffer time before they died.

They were killed before they could even see her face or hear her voice!

Seeing her so stubborn, Jing Zhe was also a little angry: "Just because I glanced at you a few more times at that dilapidated dojo and stole your money, you want to kill me?"

If they really fought, Jing Zhe might not be a match for her, especially since he had grenades on him. But he really didn't want to make enemies with Tongtianque before going to Jinxi.

"Why…"

Qiu Qianqian sighed: "Fine, since you're going to die anyway, I'll let you die knowing why! I did tell you last time to keep an eye on my head—but that was just something I said in anger."

If it were just because of that incident, I would at most give you a good beating if I saw you. I'm not a real witch; if there were no conflict of interest, why would I kill someone over such a trivial matter?

"If it wasn't because of that... then what was it because of?"

Jing Zhe was even more stunned. If it weren't for the fact that he had spied on her, it seemed that there was no other grudge between them!

"Because... you've offended someone you can't afford to offend, so you must die! Even if I don't show up today, someone else will. Rather than die at their hands, you'd better die at my hands. At least I'll give you a quick death!"

As he spoke, he raised the dagger again, as if he were in a real hurry, muttering to himself, "Hmm, if I kill you, I can get back to the city just in time..."

After hearing her words, Jing Zhe paused for a moment, then looked relieved and said in a deep voice, "Su Xinping sent you, didn't he?"

Su Xinping's stronghold is in Jinxi, and he has close ties with Tongtianque, which is also located in Jinxi. Moreover, Su Xinping seemed to have hinted at dealing with him during court a few days ago.

Qiu Qianqian nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"Judging from your appearance, you must have been here for a long time, waiting for my chance to leave the city alone. Now, you should be happy."

Because the laws of Da'an stipulate that major sects are not allowed to fight or injure people in Jingzhou City, let alone kill them.

But Qiu Qianqian shook her head: "I only arrived this afternoon, and I was also shocked when I saw that the person I was supposed to kill was you. I thought I would have to wait a while, at least until you went to Jinxi, before I had a chance, but I didn't expect you to leave the city so suddenly. I didn't even have time to change my clothes!"

As she spoke, she pointed to her brightly colored makeup. If she had known she was coming to kill someone, she would have worn a black outfit.

After saying that, he looked at him and added, "Hey, since you were able to guess it was him, you must have already thought about the consequences. So why did you insist on offending him in the first place?"

Do you know what kind of person Su Xinping is?

After a moment of silence, Qiu Qianqian nodded.

"learn."

"Heh, you really know him? If you did, you'd know his style. It's not that people can avoid offending him just because they don't want to; sometimes, you have to!"

Then he glanced at Qiu Qianqian with disdain: "You Tongtianque dare to call yourselves the four major sects? Bah! I think you're just the henchmen of Prince Jin! If Su Xinping is out there committing rape and plundering, are you going to help him too? Calling you a witch is not an exaggeration at all!"

"..."

Qiu Qianqian wasn't angry at Jing Zhe's scolding; instead, she bit her lip, looking somewhat conflicted.

"Some things... aren't as simple as you think! And don't involve Tongtianque in this; it's just me!"

After saying that, he looked at Jing Zhe, opened his mouth, and finally said, "Why don't you... run away?"

"???"

“He ordered me to kill you, and I have to kill you. But if you escape and never appear in Jingzhou again, never appear before him, then I can… lie and say I killed you. He won't see you, and he won't pursue the matter any further…”

Perhaps it was a change of heart?

Or perhaps Qiu Qianqian wasn't a truly wicked witch at heart, and couldn't bear to kill him?

However, Jing Zhe shook his head: "I won't run away."

"Oh, are you reluctant to leave Jingzhou, reluctant to leave your loved ones? But compared to life and death, are these things really that important? Only by living can you see them again in the future!"

Unlike before when she was determined to kill him, Qiu Qianqian's earnest guidance impressed Jing Zhe.

But he continued to wave his hand: "If I run away, it means I'm afraid of Su Xinping and have bowed down to evil people. My father's generation has already run away once, so I won't run away, and it's impossible for me to run away. Besides, what I just said is true. I did kill Qi Gulong, so don't think that you can really kill me!"

"Really?"

Qiu Qianqian sighed inwardly and said calmly, "I won't show any mercy."

Ha, she's still a woman of principle!

"Okay, then you can give it a try!"

As soon as Jing Zhe finished speaking, Qiu Qianqian flew towards him with a dagger in hand. Along with her rushing towards him came a sudden, overwhelming force of lightning that made Jing Zhe feel the pressure!

The fifth level of the realm is terrifying!

Moreover, he could tell that her cultivation level was much higher than Wang Yingqiu's, because even before she arrived, her killing intent spread out.

Jing Zhe dared not be careless and also began to exert his internal energy.

In the blink of an eye, Qiu Qianqian's dagger stabbed towards him, but Qiu Qianqian's lightness skill was ultimately inferior to Jing Zhe's, so her movements were not much different from normal human movements in his eyes. He dodged them all with a few quick movements!

Having missed her first attack, Qiu Qianqian stopped, staring at Jing Zhe with her mouth slightly open, somewhat stunned.

What she said earlier was true. Once she decides to make a move, she will never hold back. She put all her strength into that attack just now, but he dodged it so easily.

"You know kung fu..."

This is not a question, but a statement.

"How strange, I can't sense any internal energy fluctuations from you, so how do you have lightness skills?"

Jing Zhe laughed heartily: "Now you should believe that I can kill Qi Gulong, right?"

"Lightness skill is lightness skill, but killing relies on martial arts. Come on, let me test whether you're lying!"

As she spoke, Qiu Qianqian actually put the dagger back into her boots and ran towards him empty-handed, seemingly not to kill him, but to test his martial arts skills!

Jing Zhe also stopped dodging and went to meet him!
