From a scholar to a villain, I was a good person at the beginning

"Hahaha...what do you think? Do you feel like your lungs are going to explode now? Listen to me, break the stone door with one punch, rush in and chop him down with your sword! I'll take responsibility for anything that happens!"

Kong Qing encouraged, his tone very excited.

Jiang Zheng took a deep breath and wanted to leave, but Kong Qing's instigation made him waver for a moment.

After a delay, he suppressed his anger and looked deeply at the stone door, as if he could see the figure on the cushion inside through the stone door.

Then he turned and left.

"Wait, I have something to ask you, please come in."

Before Jiang Zheng took a few steps, a voice from inside suddenly called him and the stone door opened with a bang.

He turned around and saw a figure sitting on a cushion, staring at him intently.

There was a hint of coldness in Jiang Zheng's eyes. He stared at the other party without saying a word as he walked in step by step.

"Why are you walking so slowly? Hurry up. If you delay my business, you'll be in danger of your life!"

Liu Hailong felt that the errand disciple opposite him was neglecting him and cursed angrily.

Jiang Zheng's eyes suddenly turned cold, anger surged in his heart again, his chest rose and fell slightly, he took a deep breath and said calmly:

"I wonder what's the matter, brother?"

"What's that look in your eyes? Are you really not convinced?"

Liu Hailong noticed the coldness in Jiang Zheng's eyes and said with disdain.

"No, I don't know what you want to see me for."

Jiang Zheng asked again calmly. During the conversation, he saw through the other party's cultivation and foundation. He was at the fifth level of Qi Refining and had low-grade spiritual roots.

Kong Qing was still instigating him, and this person kept asking to take his life. Jiang Zheng already had murderous intent in his heart, but he did not intend to take action, even though the other party's words were vicious.

But he didn't really attack me. If I killed him just because I was stronger than him, what difference would that make me from a villain? How could I still look like a scholar?

"Humph! How can you swallow this humiliation and still hold on to your scholarly integrity? Why are you still cultivating immortality? Go home and study!"

Kong Qing easily saw through Jiang Zheng's heart and shouted angrily: "If it were me, anyone who dared to glare at me would be killed and his soul would be shattered!"

Jiang Zheng ignored Kong Qing's rebuke.

"If you handle this matter well, I will not pursue your disrespect just now."

A hint of gloom flashed across Liu Hailong's eyes. With a wave of his hand, a jade basin flew out from the shelf behind him and landed on the table in front of Jiang Zheng.

A hint of doubt flashed across Jiang Zheng's eyes, but the other party's next words made Jiang Zheng no longer able to suppress the anger in his heart.

"I just found a treasure, but I need a medicinal ingredient. Cut your wrist, let the blood drain out, and fill this basin."

Liu Hailong said this calmly, but the coldness in his eyes was not concealed at all.

"Heh..." Jiang Zheng sneered. The jade basin in front of him was as big as a strong man's arms. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was half a water tank.

How much blood would be needed to fill the jar? If I really filled the jar, wouldn't that mean I would have to take away half my life?

"You filled such a big basin, are you trying to kill me?"

Jiang Zheng stopped pretending, crossed his arms over his chest, and smiled, but his smile revealed a hint of murderous intent... He could no longer endure it.

"Hehehe..." Kong Qing saw that Jiang Zheng had the intention to kill, so he smiled playfully, and waited to watch the show.

"What? Junior brother, are you unwilling to help me? Don't forget your identity. You are just a chores disciple. You should do whatever I tell you to do!"

Liu Hailong exuded a dangerous aura. He slowly stood up from the futon and threatened:

"I don't want to dirty my hands. If you fill this basin up obediently, maybe you can still save your life. If I do it myself, there will be more wild ghosts in the mountains today!"

"Brother, you are joking. How could I be unwilling? But it is not appropriate for such things to be seen by others. I am afraid that it will affect your reputation. Brother, why don't you close the cave?"

Jiang Zheng said with a smile, seemingly caring about the other party, looking harmless.

"Oh, I thought you were a man of integrity, but you are no different from those losers."

Liu Hailong looked proud. He raised his hand and a ray of light shot out, landing on the stone gate.

With a loud bang, the stone door quickly closed. The dim firelight in the cave flickered, and Jiang Zheng and Liu Hailong smiled at each other.

"Please come in," Liu Hailong threw a dagger, which landed on the table with a crisp sound that echoed in the cave.

"This dagger is too small. It would take too long to fill such a large basin."

Jiang Zheng picked up the dagger, looked at it, and smiled at Liu Hailong.

"Oh? Do you want a bigger one?"

Liu Hailong asked with interest, feeling as if he had met a fool.

"Of course, the bigger one is easier to use and the blood flows faster."

Jiang Zheng said as a matter of course.

"Just use this one, don't waste your time, I don't have any bigger ones."

Liu Hailong waved his hands, very impatient.

"No need to trouble you, brother. I have prepared everything myself," Jiang Zheng said politely.

Liu Hailong looked at him doubtfully, and couldn't see where on his body he could hide a sharp weapon.

Then, in his shocked eyes, Jiang Zheng stretched out two fingers wrapped with spiritual light, and the next moment, a ray of spiritual light flew out from his arms.

It fell into Jiang Zheng's hand and turned into a long sword flashing with a cold light.

"What?!" Liu Hailong's face changed drastically. He immediately recognized the sword in the other person's hand, which was exactly the same as his own. He was extremely shocked:

"This, this is the Lingxi Sword that the sect distributes to outer disciples! How did you get it?!"

"Wait! Your sword... you have a storage bag!"

He realized that Jiang Zheng was taking things out of thin air and realized that he was carrying a storage bag. His eyes immediately became hot and greed appeared on his face.

He immediately circulated his spiritual energy and quickly grabbed Jiang Zheng's arms, "Give me your storage bag, and I will spare your life!"

"It seems that you have already made plans and didn't even think about letting me leave alive!"

The moment he picked up the sword, Jiang Zheng's entire temperament changed drastically.

His ninth level of Qi Refining skills were released without any concealment, and his robes rustled with spiritual energy.

His whole body was filled with murderous intent, and his long black hair had broken free from the hairband and was flying wildly.

“Wha…what!”

Liu Hailong sensed Jiang Zheng's aura and his face changed drastically, "How is this possible? How can you have such a high level of cultivation?!"

One second ago, he couldn't sense any cultivation level from Jiang Zheng, and the next second, the aura from him was so terrifying that he couldn't see through it at all.

This is clearly much higher than my own cultivation level!

"No, don't kill me!"

Under the aura of Jiang Zheng's ninth level of Qi training, Liu Hailong was so frightened that his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out all over his body... He felt like he was falling into an icy cave.

As he retreated, he threw out a golden talisman.

【Golden Light Talisman】

Suddenly, a golden light blocked Jiang Zheng in front of him and protected Liu Hailong behind him.

Jiang Zheng showed disdain on his face, raised his sword, and exerted all his strength to exert his ninth level of Qi Refining. Endless spiritual energy quickly gathered on the sword in his hand.

[Red Dragon Secret]

As his mind moved, the abundant spiritual energy on the sword quickly condensed and transformed into a lifelike little snake, baring its fangs and roaring.

The next moment, without the slightest hesitation, he slashed it with his sword. The little snake's shadow suddenly grew larger, and it opened its bloody mouth and bit the golden light.

Under Liu Hailong's terrified gaze, he bit the golden light to pieces. Under the threat of death, he was in a state of panic.

While retreating, he hurriedly summoned the flying sword on the shelf, but Jiang Zheng's speed of refining the ninth level of Qi was too fast.

A flash of sword light passed by, and a thin scarlet line slowly appeared on Liu Hailong's neck. He hugged his neck with both hands, his eyeballs bulged, staring at the front.

Jiang Zheng had already put away the Lingxi Sword and looked at him calmly, feeling a little moved. He didn't expect that after a few words from him, he could no longer bear it and drew his sword to kill someone.

In mid-air, Liu Hailong's flying sword lost its strength and fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Liu Hailong fell on the table with unwillingness and fear, and lost his breath.

His head was drooping in the jade basin on the table, and a large amount of blood was pouring out from his neck... The speed was very fast. It was conceivable that it would not take long for the basin to be filled.

“Tsk tsk tsk, he was struggling inside just now, but he was so calm after killing someone…” Kong Qing clicked his tongue, not knowing whether it was an exclamation or praise.

"As long as I think it's right, after making the decision, all that's left is to do it. Should I feel guilty for doing the right thing?"

Jiang Zheng said calmly, loosened the long sword in his hand, and the flying sword turned into a stream of light and flew into his arms.
