Chapter 44 – The Brutal Reality of Cultivation
Ke Qin’s mind went blank. She stood frozen, unable to move.
Pfft!
At the last moment, a hand caught the dagger’s blade right in front of her face.
Fresh blood trickled from Li Guanqi’s palm. His face remained emotionless as he strode toward Ke Qin.
Then, he flung the dagger aside.
Thud!
The dagger pierced through the youth’s palm, pinning him to the ground.
Li Guanqi’s eyes were fixed on Ke Qin’s empty gaze. Despite her pale complexion, he spoke in a low voice.
“This is the only time I’ll let you show mercy, as I can bear the consequences. If this happens again, I’ll leave you behind and let you fend for yourself. Killing is allowed in the secret realm, so do not treat it as a game,” Li Guanqi said. “We only have one life, and I do not want someone with a weak heart holding me back.”
Pfft!
Cold light flashed as he swung his sword. The Seven Strings Sect disciple’s head tumbled to the ground.
