"Even if I don't run into him, you will, and the outcome will be the same, right?"
Mu Qingren shook her head repeatedly upon hearing this.
"It's different. He might not dare to hurt me too badly, but you're different. He'd love to kill you, you know that?"
"I know."
Jing Zhe sneered, "Because I also want to kill him!"
You can't be so impulsive!
If Jing Zhe were also at the mid-stage of the sixth level, Mu Qingren certainly wouldn't be so worried. However, the strength gap between the early and mid-stages of the sixth level is too great. Even if Jing Zhe uses his lightness skill, he can't possibly win, which is why she's worried.
"Don't worry, I can win."
While Mu Qingren was puzzled, Jing Zhe laughed and said, "You forgot that I can blow up the two monsters of the Heavenly Realm, let alone Lin Qingshan, who is only at the middle stage of the sixth level?"
"this…"
Concern can cloud judgment, and Mu Qingren almost forgot about Jing Zhe's hand grenade.
At the same time, there was some doubt: "Would you dare to use a grenade in front of so many people?"
"Hehe, I've already come up with the detailed plan, and I guarantee it will be foolproof. Your Highness, don't worry. When have I ever fought a battle without preparation?"
At the end, he even winked at Mu Qingren.
"..."
Jing Zhe possesses a certain magic that makes people believe him, at least Mu Qingren believes him now, although he still feels that his talk of a "great battle" is somewhat dubious...
"Then promise me that if you can't beat him tomorrow, you absolutely mustn't fight to the death. You need to understand that you don't just belong to yourself now, you belong to us..."
By the end, Mu Qingren's face was flushed with embarrassment. Hearing this, Jing Zhe really wanted to reach out and pat her head, but unfortunately, he didn't dare to do so in public...
...
The two then engaged in a brief aerial battle.
With a loud "bang," after another collision between the two, Mu Qingren's sword suddenly fell to the ground, and he also fell to the ground.
Jing Zhe flew over, hugged her, and slowly landed.
"..."
Everyone was completely bewildered: What did I just see?
It looks like a martial arts competition, but it doesn't quite resemble one...
And why do these two look so affectionate?
Wang Yingqiu, who was in the audience and knew the situation best, pursed her lips after seeing this scene, but was very envious in her heart.
Qiu Qianqian crossed her arms and sneered: "Heh, I knew those two weren't normal! But one more is one more, I can't manage alone anyway!"
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Qiu Qianqian suddenly paused: There seems to be more than one...
No, I'll have to interrogate him again when I have some free time!
The Tongtianque disciples, including Xue Dianzun, standing behind her suddenly noticed that their junior sister (senior sister) was acting strangely.
Being "knocked away" by Jing Zhe was part of Mu Qingren's plan, but being hugged by Jing Zhe in front of everyone was something else. Her skin was thin after all, and even though she was happy, she was stunned for a moment after landing and then quickly pushed Jing Zhe away.
She straightened her clothes, gently tied her hair up, and even bowed to Jing Zhe in a proper manner: "Thank you for your mercy, President Jing!"
"You're too kind, Pavilion Master Mu!"
Jing Zhe also cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.
Then, Mu Qingren addressed the audience, saying, "President Jing is superior; Wuxianyuan concedes defeat!"
After speaking, he walked down without looking to the side.
"snort!"
Lin Qingshan had not expected this outcome, and he scoffed at Mu Qingren's claim of being "skilled superior."
They're obviously just acting!
It's okay to fool others, but to fool him?
That was such a clumsy method!
However, he sneered again: That's even better. At least he won't be too bored. When he encounters Jing Zhe in the next round, Lin Qingshan is prepared to kill him with his own hands!
Next time, he won't make the same mistake as this morning. He'll strike with precision and ruthlessness, leaving no time for anyone to react!
Even though others felt that the competition was too unfair and far from what they expected, the result was already out, and they couldn't say anything more. However, they were still quite satisfied that two of the top four finalists were not members of the four major sects, and both of them were men.
At this moment, the Qingyang Sect Leader walked onto the stage.
"Now that the semifinals are decided, let's draw lots to determine tomorrow's matches today!"
"Sect Leader Qingyang, I have a suggestion!"
"Oh? What suggestions does President Jing have?"
Before the Qingyang Sect Leader could speak, Jing Zhe interrupted him, which displeased the Qingyang Sect Leader, who frowned and asked.
"Sect Leader Qingyang, since only one person can be chosen as the leader of the martial arts alliance, this drawing of lots is unnecessary. Can I choose directly?"
Among the four strongest, it's clear that Qiu Qianqian from their Tongtianque sect is the weakest, not yet reaching the sixth level. The Qingyang sect leader, fearing Jing Zhe might take advantage of the weak, was about to refuse when Jing Zhe said:
"I choose the Qingcheng Sect!"
"..."
The words that were already in his throat were swallowed back down by the Qingyang Sect Leader.
"Okay, I agree!"
Lin Qingshan readily agreed, which was exactly what he wanted. The Qingyang Sect Leader also breathed a sigh of relief. If it were a lottery, he would have had to use some tricks, but the result would be the same. So he smiled and said, "Since it is President Jing's request, it is not impossible. Does anyone else have any objections?"
Everyone fell silent.
The Qingyang Sect Leader continued, "Alright, then tomorrow's match order will be Heaven and Earth Sect vs. Qingcheng Sect, and Tongtian Palace vs. Kunlun Mirror! Everyone, please go back and rest today!"
After they finished speaking, everyone dispersed. Today's duel was full of ups and downs, with some exciting ones like Lin Qingshan and Qingqiu, and others boring ones like Pei Yunxi and Qiu Qianqian.
Of course, there's also the tangled love triangle between Jing Zhe and Mu Qingren, which is truly infuriating to watch; dog food (romantic scenes) just isn't always palatable...
After most of the people had left, Lin Qingshan approached Jing Zhe and deliberately said, "President Jing, you'd better think this through tomorrow. If you're afraid of dying, just admit defeat in advance!"
Jing Zhe glanced at him and said calmly, "Remember what I told you before? Eat and drink a lot tonight, because you might not have another chance after tomorrow!"
After saying that, Jing Zhe left without looking back, leaving Lin Qingshan standing there with a cold smile on his face.
After leaving the martial arts arena, Jing Zhe did not go directly to the Qingyun Sect's residence. After all, he had confirmed that Qingqiu's injuries were no longer serious. When he went there again, it would be to practice martial arts and heal Qingqiu's injuries.
It was still early, and Jing Zhe didn't want to do it in broad daylight...
Back at the Prince of Jin's residence, Jing Zhe first called Hanhan in and asked him to find some of the fuses from when he made the hand grenades. Then he took out all the small hand grenades that Hanhan had made yesterday and connected the fuses to them.
After tonight, he's definitely going to be a sixth-level mid-tier player.
Lin Qingshan "controls his sword with qi," and he "controls his hand grenades with qi," so the fuses of his hand grenades are longer to ensure they can explode more accurately.
