Chapter 738: Punishing Yu Xiaogang

"Stop!"

Just at this moment, Tang San on the other side suddenly shouted nervously, while his figure charged over at extreme speed.

"Bang!"

No one saw how Qin Jian moved; they only felt a flash of Sword Light, and a wall of swords appeared in front of Tang San, swatting him back.

At this moment, even without Na'er's power, his overall strength had already crossed the threshold of a god, and suppressing Tang San was simply as easy as turning over one's hand.

"Our business, we'll talk about it later."

Qin Jian didn't even glance at him.

"Wait!"

And just at the moment his hand pressed down, another voice rang out.

Qin Jian was not annoyed at being interrupted; instead, he looked over with great interest: "Who is it this time?"

Two figures flapping their wings descended from the sky.

Qin Jian took a close look and couldn't help but smile: "They're all acquaintances."

Flender, who brought Liu Erlong down, and another was Ma Hongjun.

"That... Brother Jian..."

Ma Hongjun hadn't seen Qin Jian for a long time, and because of the matter with Tang San and Oscar, he didn't know how to face his old friend.

His sturdy figure looked somewhat at a loss, and also dejected.

"I... I just came to take Oscar away," he said with his head lowered: "He has already become an ordinary person, I hope Brother Jian will let him go."

Qin Jian glanced at Oscar, who was lying on the ground on the other side, his expression devoid of the slightest resentment: "Go ahead, it was nothing but the selfish desire to become a god; ending up ruined in the hands of Rongrong can be considered a cycle of karma."

He only swept a glance, and he judged that it was Ning Rongrong's Soul Bone Skill.

Ning Rongrong, who had crippled Oscar, and Xiao Wu, who was holding the Trident and confronting Tang San—this scene was somewhat surreal, and it made him unable to muster the spirit to take further revenge.

"Tha... Thank you, Brother Jian!"

Ma Hongjun was actually somewhat flattered.

Qin Jian was slightly dazed.

Was the distance between them already that great?

No wonder Tang San and Oscar would both choose to betray under the temptation of the gods...

Qin Jian had no brotherly affection for them, only the camaraderie of fellow soldiers, and after the Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament, there hadn't been much contact.

Including Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, they simply couldn't compare to the relationship Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhuqing had with Qin Jian.

Therefore, betraying under the temptation of profit could be said to be a normal manifestation of human nature.

Qin Jian shook his head and smiled.

"What about you? What do you want to say to me?" He looked at Liu Erlong and Flender.

"Qin Jian, Xiaogang chose Tang San between you and Tang San; I believe you can understand that," Flender said in a deep voice: "I also know that asking you to forgive him is truly shameless, but could you please spare his life? Consider it as repaying the guidance he gave you back then."

"Repay the guidance?"

The corners of Qin Jian's mouth twitched, and he suddenly burst into loud laughter: "Dean, do you really think Yu Xiaogang provided me with any guidance? Aside from helping his precious disciple Tang San secure benefits, what exactly did he ever teach me?"

Flender opened his mouth, but couldn't say a single word.

"Qin Jian," Liu Erlong silently knelt down beside Grandmaster, gently stroking his haggard cheeks: "I don't ask you to forgive him, because I know that Xiaogang was wrong."

"I... I was wrong?"

Yu Xiaogang raised his head with difficulty, his voice hoarse: "Erlong... I was wrong?"

"You don't understand, do you?"

Liu Erlong gave a miserable smile: "I warned you not to incite the family to scheme against Qin Jian, but you only had Tang San in your heart and only wanted to help him, losing the reason you should have had."

"But... we almost won..." Yu Xiaogang muttered.

"Slap!"

Liu Erlong gently slapped his cheek, tears streaming down: "Xiaogang, when did you start to lose the ability to distinguish even the most basic right from wrong? Can't you see the positive impact Qin Jian has brought to the Dalu? Can't you see that Tang San's actions lead to war in the Dalu, causing millions of deaths and injuries?"

"Even if you had won, then what? What about the future?"

She sobbed uncontrollably: "Do you want to watch helplessly as Evil Soul Masters ravage the Dalu?"

Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth: "History is written by the victors; if we had won, we would naturally have handled the Evil Soul Masters properly!"

"But the Dalu is already in a mess!"

Liu Erlong slapped him again: "Xiaogang, I don't remember you being such a person driven only by selfish desires!"

Yu Xiaogang fell into silence.

"Teacher Erlong," Qin Jian suddenly smiled: "Actually, I quite understand him, because I am also very selfish, including the gods that many of you yearn for; they are all selfish too."

"So I understand his choice."

His hand was raised: "I will not punish you in the name of some great righteousness, nor will I label you with destroying the peace of the Dalu; I am simply dealing with my own opponents."

Hum, hum, hum.

Thousands of Light Swords chimed in unison, their momentum shaking the heavens.

"Qin Jian," Liu Erlong suddenly looked up and slowly closed her eyes: "Although the family was wrong and Xiaogang was wrong, I ultimately belong to them, so I will bear the consequences together with them."

Qin Jian nodded indifferently: "Very well."

"Liu Erlong!"

Yu Xiaogang suddenly roared: "Go away! This is all of our own doing! It has nothing to do with you! Get out! Get out!"

Qin Jian's hand paused, and a thought suddenly popped up.

"If I don't kill you, my mind won't be at peace, but now I suddenly have a better idea to replace this plan..."

He looked down at Yu Xiaogang and said meaningfully: "If you truly have feelings for your family and Teacher Erlong, then are you willing to bear the consequences alone? If you are willing to bear them, I can just cripple their soul power and let them become ordinary people."

"I... I will bear it alone..."

Yu Xiaogang shivered.

Especially when the complex yet expectant gazes of the family members around him looked over, he suddenly felt a bit of retreat: "I... I don't..."

"Yu Xiaogang," Qin Jian suddenly interrupted him: "You have been cowardly your whole life; are you unwilling to stand tall just once at the very end?"

He said with pointed meaning: "I know your Mutated Martial Soul is the key to your inferiority, because this Dalu values strength above all else, but this moment has nothing to do with strength; it only has to do with a man's sense of responsibility."

"A man's responsibility... huff, huff..."

Yu Xiaogang breathed deeply.

He saw the gazes of his family members; for the first time, what he saw was not the disdain for a piece of trash, but anticipation.

"I..."

He closed his eyes: "Fine... I am willing to bear the consequences alone. I hope you will keep your promise and not trouble them after killing me."

"This..."

The gazes of many people began to change as they looked at him.

No matter what, a person who dares to sacrifice themselves is always worthy of respect.

"I never intended to kill you..."

Qin Jian also saw this change, and a strange smile could not help but appear at the corners of his mouth: "I even helped you reverse the greatest humiliation of your life, allowing you to gain the family's recognition, but I hope you can also withstand my retaliation."

"Not, not kill me?!"

Yu Xiaogang had just exclaimed in surprise when he saw Qin Jian's eyes turn purple, and then the scene around him began to change.
