#396 - The Black Jade Village is destroyed
As her injuries worsened, Li Xueqing felt a dizzy spell and nearly fainted.
She gritted her teeth, raised her head, her face already as pale as paper, and asked weakly:
"How has your strength… become so great?"
She couldn't help but see that the power Liang Jin used to crush the Heavenly Silk Gu just now was almost twice as strong as when she last competed with Liang Jin.
Such a terrifying increase in power made even Li Xueqing feel incredible, her heart full of doubt and shock.
Seeing Li Xueqing spit blood, Liang Jin couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"Oh dear, Elder Li, why have your injuries worsened again?"
"Didn't I tell you to heal quickly? If you continue like this, what if you accidentally die?"
His tone carried a hint of teasing, as if deliberately trying to anger Li Xueqing.
Hearing this, Li Xueqing glared at Liang Jin with her eyes, as if she wanted to swallow him alive.
Her natal divine weapon, the Thousand Dragon Divine Whip, had been gambled away by Liang Jin, and now her natal Gu, the Heavenly Silk Gu, had also been crushed to death by Liang Jin!
Losing these two things undoubtedly reduced Li Xueqing's true trump cards by two at once, causing her strength to plummet, her heart full of anger and unwillingness.
"Xiong Ba, just kill me directly! Why bother humiliating me like this?!"
Li Xueqing roared angrily, her voice becoming hoarse with rage.
She was so angry that her whole body's Qi and blood surged, and she spat out another mouthful of blood.
This made her spirit even more sluggish, and the injuries in her body became even more serious. She couldn't even maintain her sitting posture and was about to fall to the ground.
Liang Jin could only quickly come to Li Xueqing's side and help her, saying with concern:
"Elder Li, don't get angry again."
"Otherwise, what if you accidentally anger yourself to death?"
"Come, come, let me help you heal!"
Saying that, Liang Jin sat cross-legged behind Li Xueqing and slapped her on the back.
A stream of internal force flowed from Liang Jin's palm into Li Xueqing's body, helping her clear the congestion in her meridians, stimulating the potential of the martial artist's body by smoothing the meridians, thereby accelerating the self-healing of the injuries.
Li Xueqing had originally prepared to die, but she didn't expect Liang Jin to actually help her heal.
This made her both surprised and angry:
"Xiong Ba, what exactly do you want to do?"
Her heart was full of doubts, completely unable to guess Liang Jin's intentions.
Liang Jin didn't answer, focusing on stabilizing Li Xueqing's injuries.
After a long while.
He finally stopped after confirming that Li Xueqing would no longer be angered to the point of triggering her injuries and dying.
He stood up and smiled:
"Elder Li, I said long ago that I have good intentions."
"But you always mistake kindness for malice, so I can't help it."
Saying that, a fierce look suddenly flashed in Liang Jin's eyes, and then he stepped down.
His foot landed heavily on Li Xueqing's thigh.
"Crack!"
Only a crisp sound of bone breaking was heard, and Li Xueqing's thigh bone was actually broken by Liang Jin's foot.
"Ah!"
This caused Li Xueqing to let out a scream of pain, her voice full of pain and anger.
Liang Jin said in a flustered manner:
"Oh dear, I'm sorry, Elder Li, I accidentally stepped on you."
"Oh dear, you see, I just told you not to stretch your long legs around."
"You just don't listen, which is why I accidentally stepped on you again."
As Liang Jin apologized, he checked Li Xueqing's injuries.
After confirming that the thigh bones of both of Li Xueqing's legs were comminuted fractures, he felt relieved.
Liang Jin originally wanted to break Li Xueqing's Dantian Qi Sea, turning her into a complete cripple.
But he still gave up on this idea.
Crippling Li Xueqing's two legs was already close to the bottom line in the hearts of the people of the Dragon Transformation Sect.
If he crippled Li Xueqing's cultivation, then he would break the bottom line of the people of the Dragon Transformation Sect.
If he did this, then those elders in the Dragon Transformation Sect who originally had a good impression of him would also become repulsive and disgusted with him.
This would be very detrimental to his development in the Dragon Transformation Sect.
And as Liang Jin's cultivation continued to improve, Li Xueqing's martial power gradually became difficult to pose a threat to him, and he didn't need to lose big for small.
Li Xueqing gritted her teeth in pain and roared angrily:
"Xiong Ba, have the guts to give me a quick death!"
"You torture me like this, you're not a man!"
Spittle flew from her mouth, and she completely disregarded her usual image as an icy beauty elder, more like a shrew scolding in the street, the anger in her heart reaching its peak.
Liang Jin said helplessly:
"Elder Li, why do you always mistake people's good intentions for maliciousness?"
"This habit of yours is not good, come, let me check your injuries again."
Saying that, Liang Jin reached out and touched Li Xueqing's body.
He searched out a lot of elixirs, poisons, some strange insects, and even some hidden weapons from Li Xueqing's body.
As for these things, he didn't know whether they were precious or not, anyway, he crushed all the ones he could crush, and then sprinkled them towards the night sky, watching those things drift in the air.
Li Xueqing watched helplessly as Liang Jin wantonly destroyed her treasured items, throwing them into the night sky, and her anger instantly broke through the line of reason, and the whole person seemed to be ignited, hysterically screaming.
The scream was full of anger, unwillingness, and despair, echoing in the empty surroundings, breaking the original dead silence.
After confirming that Li Xueqing had completely lost her ability to resist and could no longer pose any threat to him, Liang Jin stretched out his hand and grabbed the back of Li Xueqing's collar, his movements rough and decisive, directly lifting her whole body up.
At this time, Li Xueqing's body hung limply, without any resistance, and could only be manipulated by Liang Jin.
"Elder Li, in order to prove that I sincerely want to save you, now I will take you back to the Dragon Transformation Sect."
"You see, I have such a great life-saving grace to you, how do you plan to repay me in the future?"
Liang Jin said, his tone carrying a bit of teasing, as if stating a matter of course.
Hearing this, Li Xueqing's eyes spewed out anger enough to burn Liang Jin, and she let out a vague roar from her throat. How could she be grateful to Liang Jin, let alone repay him.
In her heart, Liang Jin was the culprit who pushed her into desperation!
Her natal divine weapon and natal Gu were taken away and destroyed, and her legs were also cruelly broken. At this moment, she was filled with hatred, and words of abuse continued to spew from her mouth, even if her voice became hoarse with anger, it did not stop at all.
Listening to Li Xueqing's endless scolding, Liang Jin showed a helpless expression on his face and shook his head gently, as if sighing at Li Xueqing's ingratitude.
Immediately afterwards, he quickly bent down, grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, and without the slightest hesitation, directly stuffed it into Li Xueqing's mouth.
Li Xueqing struggled desperately, but her limbs were soft and weak, and she couldn't break free from Liang Jin's control at all.
The handful of dirt quickly filled her mouth, preventing her from making any sound.
After finishing all this, Liang Jin clapped his hands, a satisfied smile on his face, and laughed at Li Xueqing: "You're much more pleasing to the eye when you don't talk, not so disgusting."
Afterward, Liang Jin, carrying Li Xueqing, walked towards the port with brisk steps.
The matter here was concluded.
Li Xueqing had suffered such serious injuries that it would take several months to recover.
After all, not everyone was like Liang Jin, who recovered from serious injuries inflicted by a giant snake in just a day and a night.
During these few months, Liang Jin could finally walk sideways in the Dragon Transformation Sect!

The Nine Empty Unbounded Realms.
The sky seemed to be soaked in blood, presenting a妖冶and诡异blood-red color, so intense that it seemed to drip down at any moment.
In contrast, the earth was a cold and silent expanse, devoid of any vitality, as if shrouded in a layer of invisible frost, where all things languished in this desolation.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!
"Whoosh--! Whoosh--!"
Between heaven and earth, the狂风roared肆意like black dragons.
The wind was凄厉, as if诉说着the unknown secrets of this天地.
In this world of howling winds, a black city, like a dormant beast, stood巍然.
This city was漆黑throughout, and each brick seemed to凝集着endless darkness, as if it were cast from the purest black substance in the world.
It散发着an邪恶and肃穆威压, making people不寒而栗.
The edges of the city were as sharp as利刃, and under the映衬of the血红天空, the city隐隐竟有几分狰狞之相, as if it would择人而噬at any moment.
Above the gate of the city gate, a牌匾hung high,刻着the name of the city—Wronged Death City!
Just these three words seemed to carry endless怨念and绝望, making people听之胆寒.
Such a阴森恐怖city should have made people望而却步.
But the武者standing outside the city at this time seemed异常轻松, chatting and laughing as if this were their familiar home.
There were hundreds of武者, and their faces were模糊一片, as if shrouded in a layer of迷雾, making it impossible to see their true faces.
At this time, they were holding various兵器, or长刀, or长枪, or短剑, standing under the city gate, talking热烈.
"Are there any new people today? Anyone new, speak up," a武者with a洪亮voice shouted.
"New people, stand up and report. You can ask us old-timers if you don't understand anything," another voice followed,透着a few热情and豪爽.
"We old-timers have experienced hundreds of厮杀here, and many of us have even brought out treasures from here. We know this place like the back of our hands!" a武者said with a few自豪语调.
As usual, everyone first asked if there were any new members.
After confirming that there were no new people today, everyone began to split into small groups and talk among themselves.
Someone couldn't help but shout:
"Chief Dong!"
"Is Chief Dong of Black Boar Stronghold here today?"
"I heard there was a big fire on望月岗a few days ago. Is Chief Dong still safe and sound?"
The voice穿透了the杂吵人声, and everyone's ears不由得竖了起来, their eyes full of关切and好奇.
Chief Dong Xiong of Black Boar Stronghold was one of the few武者in this鬼地方who used their real name.
And his identity had been查证过by many武者, and it was indeed real.
Everyone knew that Dong Xiong did this to招揽more武者to join the Black Boar Stronghold.
And he had indeed achieved this goal. It was said that some of the people present had慕名gone to投奔him.
At this time, a胖胖figure费力地挤了出来from the crowd.
Looking at this肥胖身形, everyone immediately认了出来that this person was Dong Xiong.
Sure enough.
Dong Xiong opened his mouth and complained:
"Damn it, don't even mention it!"
"It's just bad luck to talk about it. My Black Boar Stronghold was completely burned down by that bunch of狗官兵, more than two hundred brothers died, and I, Lao Dong, almost栽了."
"We have now escaped from望月岗and are preparing to投靠宴山寨."
His voice carried a few疲惫and无奈.
Hearing this, everyone不由得大吃一惊.
The Black Boar Stronghold was a well-known绿林队伍in the长州region, and had committed many major cases.
It was said that two months ago, even the newly appointed知府and六扇门统领of长州were robbed and洗劫一空by them, and this matter震威the entire长州at that time.
But how could the Black Boar Stronghold be完蛋in the blink of an eye?
"Chief Dong, what exactly is going on?"
Some familiar people couldn't help but ask, their eyes full of疑惑.
Dong Xiong explained:
"Damn it, I thought we山贼were dark enough, but who knew that those狗官were the darkest in the world!"
"Didn't we抢劫that new知府last time? We clearly only抢了three thousand石粮食, but that狗官reported back to the朝廷that three万石粮食had been robbed! That's ten times as much!"
"This suddenly became a 朝廷大案! Even the 朝廷调动狗官兵from other places to长州, just specifically to灭my Black Boar Stronghold."
"Those狗官兵didn't even negotiate with us. They猛攻under the旗号of抢回粮食. I admit we can't beat them, so isn't it okay to逃?"
"But when we escaped and looked back, guess what? That group of狗官兵actually set fire everywhere in my Black Boar Stronghold and burned it to the ground."
"Especially later, that group of狗官兵also张贴告示everywhere, saying that I, Lao Dong,顽抗, and would rather burn the three万石粮食than leave it to the饥民."
"Heaven and earth良心, although I, Lao Dong, am a山贼, I also know盗亦有道, and I haven't done what I haven't done."
"That fire was clearly set by the官兵themselves, but in the end, they wanted to賴on my Lao Dong, and even扣on my Lao Dong a帽子of抢three万石粮食. Do you think I, Lao Dong, am冤? It's really他娘的晦气!"
The more he spoke, the more激动he became, and the肥肉on his body trembled along with him.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but哈哈大笑.
But laughing and laughing, the laughter was also full of苦涩.
The官场in this长州was indeed烂透了.
Initially, those who practiced武in长州, who didn't want to learn武艺and sell it to the帝王家. But when they realized that the帝王家were no longer treating people as people, they began to投身绿林.
It was precisely because of this that the绿林好汉of长州became闻名天下.
Just then.
"Rumble!"
A burst of沉闷响声suddenly sounded, as if the咆哮of an ancient beast,打断了everyone's交谈.
The gate of the city slowly opened automatically.
Wronged Death City had opened again!
