Chapter 262: Destroying the Rotten and Crushing the Dry

Wang Jianqiang recovered from his deep thoughts.

He looked at Ji Ruan and couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Ji Ruan frowned, "Given my brother's reputation in Desolate City, you should be very clear about how powerful my brother is."

"Although your strength is not bad, you are definitely no match for my brother; I advise you to calm down."

Hearing Ji Ruan's threat, Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "You seem to have misunderstood one thing."

"What do you mean?" Ji Ruan was startled.

The smile on Wang Jianqiang's face grew even richer, "I don't know any Ji Zhangkong or Ji Duankong; I am very busy and have no time to pay attention to some random nobodies."

"Moreover, I do not agree with your claim that no harm was caused."

"A person as ugly and sleazy as you attempting to harbor evil intentions toward a few weak women has already caused them indelible psychological trauma."

"Psychological trauma is also harm."

"Therefore, you must pay them compensation for mental distress."

Compensation for mental distress?

Ji Ruan was stunned.

It was the first time he had heard this term.

However, judging by this person's tone, there seemed to be room for negotiation.

His expression brightened, and he nodded repeatedly.

"Fine, I will pay; I will agree to whatever you want, Daoist Friend."

"Any treasure on my person is yours, and even if I don't have it, my brother can give it to you."

To him, the most important thing now was to save his life.

As for the loss of some wealth, that was secondary.

As long as he could return alive, there would be plenty of opportunities for revenge in the future.

"Your attitude toward admitting your mistakes is quite good."

Wang Jianqiang nodded with satisfaction, "What I want is very simple, and you definitely have it on you."

"What is it?" Ji Ruan was delighted.

Wang Jianqiang's smile became even more amiable.

"Your life!"

As soon as the words fell, his palm suddenly tightened, snapping Ji Ruan's neck directly.

"Bastard, you played me!"

After Ji Ruan's neck was snapped, a palm-sized miniature figure flew out from his lifeless body, fleeing toward the distance in terror.

"Nonsense, of course I was playing with you."

"You didn't naively think I would actually let you go, did you?"

Wang Jianqiang curled his lip and grabbed forward with his palm.

A golden hand condensed and materialized, grabbing Ji Ruan's Nascent Soul.

Ji Ruan's Nascent Soul struggled desperately, but could not shake the golden hand in the slightest.

Wang Jianqiang moved his mind.

The golden hand retracted rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to his front with Ji Ruan's Nascent Soul.

He grabbed Ji Ruan's Nascent Soul into his hand, swung his other palm, and with one slap, knocked Ji Ruan's Nascent Soul into a state of severe injury and unconsciousness.

Afterward, he flicked his fingers repeatedly, placing heavy Restrictions on the exterior of the Nascent Soul to seal it up.

Seeing this brutal scene.

Ji Ruan's five subordinates were scared out of their wits and fled frantically.

Wang Jianqiang flipped his palm and put away Ji Ruan's Nascent Soul.

He bent his legs slightly and then kicked off violently.

The earth shook tremendously and exploded with a boom.

His entire body transformed into a golden rainbow, flying out at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, he caught up to a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

He slapped him across the face.

Terrifying power erupted, and the head of this Nascent Soul Stage cultivator exploded with a boom.

The next moment.

His Nascent Soul fled in terror.

Just as it escaped its own corpse, a golden palm suddenly reached out and grasped it in its palm.

Before he could react, a slap had already landed on him.

The terrifying power brought his Nascent Soul to the brink of collapse, his consciousness went black, and he fell directly into a deep sleep.

Wang Jianqiang flicked his fingers, sealed the Nascent Soul in his hand, and shot out again.

A moment later, he caught up to another Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

With one punch, he blew his physical body apart.

As usual, he slapped the Nascent Soul, then sealed it and put it away.

After killing the two Nascent Soul cultivators.

The remaining Golden Core Stage cultivators were much simpler.

He easily caught up to them and blew them apart one by one.

Very quickly.

This patch of heaven and earth grew quiet once more.

With a flash of Golden Light, Wang Jianqiang appeared before Mu Lingxi and the other three.

"I heard from Daoist Friend Jiang that you were being hunted by a powerful masked woman."

"Why is the other party not here?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's inquiry, Mu Lingxi opened her mouth to answer.

Wang Jianqiang reached out and covered her mouth, "Alright, my dear lady, please just take a rest."

He then turned his head to look at Wang Yu Yao, "Yu Yao, you tell me."

Wang Yu Yao looked at the dissatisfied Mu Lingxi, pursed her lips in a smile, and slowly recounted their recent experiences.

From joining forces with Xing Li to trap and kill the Star Envoy, to the pursuit by the Great Star Envoy, and then meeting Ji Ruan and being coveted by him... all the way to the masked woman and Ye Lingyun suddenly leaving just now...

After hearing Wang Yu Yao's account, Wang Jianqiang couldn't help but look at Xing Li in surprise.

She actually helped Yu Yao and the others trap and kill her own sect members?

Facing Wang Jianqiang's gaze, Xing Li smiled without a word.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang smiled, "From today on, the Internship Period is over."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Xing Li was stunned, then immediately overjoyed, her face unable to suppress an expression of excitement.

"Ding, Xing Li's Good and Evil Value has increased."

"Current Good and Evil Value: 90 points."

Hearing the system notification sound in his mind, Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted, and a smile appeared on his face.

Xing Li's Good and Evil Value had actually increased by so much all at once!

This was an unexpected joy.

"What does Internship Period mean?"

Just then, a faint fragrance wafted into his nose, and a stunningly beautiful face filled with intense curiosity suddenly leaned in front of Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang raised his hand to pinch Mu Lingxi's cheek and pushed her back, "I'm not telling you."

Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, and Xing Li couldn't help but laugh at the sight.

Only Wang Jianqiang could handle Mu Lingxi.

Without him by her side, this girl was practically a genuine little demoness.

Lawless and daring to do anything.

During this time, they had been quite anxious and fearful while staying with Mu Lingxi.

Wang Jianqiang ignored Mu Lingxi's dissatisfaction and looked at Wang Yu Yao, "Ye Lingyun appeared too?"

Wang Yu Yao nodded and said with some worry, "Ye Lingyun has successfully formed his Nascent Soul; we saw with our own eyes earlier that he used Instant Movement to leave this place."

"That's right, he is indeed already at the Nascent Soul Stage."

As soon as Wang Yu Yao finished speaking, Mu Lingxi immediately chimed in.

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

This guy's cultivation speed was fast enough; he probably obtained some kind of fortuitous encounter again.

This luck of his really wasn't just for show.

However, regarding Ye Lingyun's breakthrough, he was only slightly surprised.

There was not the slightest bit of worry.

To him.

Whether Ye Lingyun was at the Golden Core Stage or the Nascent Soul Early Stage, it was all just a matter of one punch; there was no difference at all.

Afterward, he called Jiang Xuan and Yang Wanxin over.

"Wanxin, they are all my fellow sect members."

He pointed to the four people: Mu Lingxi, Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, and Xing Li.

Upon hearing this, the four understood.

They all showed friendly smiles toward Yang Wanxin.

Seeing the four's behavior, Wang Jianqiang was quite satisfied; he pointed to Yang Wanxin and said to the four, "This is Yang Wanxin, one of the best friends I made in the Assessment Secret Realm, and like me, she is a Pill Dao Specialty Cultivator."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang mention the words "best friends," Yang Wanxin's cheeks flushed inexplicably.

She looked at the four and said softly, "Fairy Yu Yao, Fairy Wanxin, Fairy Xingli, and Fairy Lingxi, it is a pleasure to meet you."
