Bang!

The back of his head felt hot and his vision went black. He slammed headfirst into the city gate, feeling dizzy and seeing stars, his face a bloody mess, blood spraying from his mouth and nose.

His expression carried a strong sense of unwillingness, and he almost spat out the words through gritted teeth.

"Damn it, just one step away, just one step away..."

Turning around, he leaned against the sturdy city wall, his eyes full of fear as he watched the man in the distance rapidly approaching.

He could sense that the other clan members had probably all died tragically at his hands, but what he couldn't accept was why this person in front of him could beat all five of them without any chance of resistance.

Clearly, this little brat was much younger than them, and clearly, both sides were on the same realm, so why did he have the Gu Worms that could restrain them?

"Let me into the city, let me into the city!"

He tried to break open the city gate.

Under normal circumstances, with his Core Formation Stage realm, breaking through a thousand-pound gate wouldn't be difficult, but the problem was that his entire body was covered in dense wounds and blood was flowing from his body, showing that he had been completely defeated by Sword Qi along the way.

He had four through-and-through injuries, and his left arm hung limply. During nearly an hour of escape, he didn't even dare use Sword Control because if he appeared within the enemy's sight, a flying sword would silently pierce his body from below.

This was the provenance of the four through-and-through injuries; if he hadn't been far enough away to avoid vital spots, the first Sword Qi would have already sealed his throat.

"Open the door, open the door! Otherwise, I'll kill you all!"

He pounded forcefully and let out a ferocious roar, but the Southern Border language he spoke not only failed to make the garrison guarding the city gate open it, they became even more cautious. There was even a Squad Leader at Qi Refinement layer nine standing directly near the city gate to prevent a cultivator from entering the city from above.

He gathered Spiritual Energy, the dead camel is still bigger than a horse, even when injured, he was still Core Formation; the turbulent Spiritual Energy shook the city gate, but before he could break through by force, he heard the sound of a rush behind him!

Immediately turning around, he raised the Ancient Embroidery Silver Lock. The massive impact forced him to concentrate all his spirit to fend off the intermittent attacks from behind, where Sword Qi and the Silver Lock collided violently. Accompanied by a low hum, the young man leisurely following behind simply yawned and jumped down from the flying sword.

"Begging others to open the door with such an attitude, who's willing to help you."

"How dare you kill people from my Lou family village, my father will turn your entire family into Gu Worm beds and all into insect nests, just wait for death..."

His expression was ferocious, and the three rings on his right hand were shining. Originally he had three on each hand, but now only three remained on his right hand.

A dark green glow traveled down his body, and the rings directly detached from his fingers. One could clearly see three distinct blood grooves all over his fingers from where the rings had been.

This was not some so-called Magic Treasure, but Gu Worms, or strictly speaking, dormant Gu Worms. However, upon sensing the aura emanating from the opponent and the strange pink liquid, these Gu Worms actually started retreating continuously, fearing to touch it.

Mr. Jiang just sighed.

Though his adversary's Central Plains language was somewhat stammered and not very standard, it was clear enough to understand what he meant. His eyes showed confusion and bafflement; sometimes he really wondered if it was because he was too normal or everyone else too abnormal?

"I mean, you lot from decent family backgrounds, you've supposedly received good education and are literate, how come none of you seem to use your brains?"

"Already beaten into the ground yet still so stubborn, yelling about killing my entire family when you are on the brink of death, buddy, you're nearly dead."

"Originally, we had no grievances; if it weren't for the commotion you made, I wouldn't have bothered to come looking for you. Anyway, I've already dealt with two, which should be enough.

"If you had just honestly begged for mercy or admitted your fault, this incident could've ended there; after all, you're empty-handed without much on you. What would I gain from killing you?"

"Do I want those bugs on you?"

"Those just now, all came at me the same way as you. I thought I'd just beat them till they were disabled and take what they had, then the matter would be resolved."

"Yet still clamoring about killing my whole family... and what about you? What do you have to say?"

He shook his head in disbelief.

He truly couldn't understand this group of fools' mindset, insisting on provoking the opponent when they should bow down. Initially, there wasn't that much grievance between both sides, yet their reckless mouths made it impossible to back down.

What's the point?

Stupefied for a few seconds, but the Southern Border Disciple's ferocious expression quickly disappeared, replaced by an awkward smile as if seeing the dawn of hope.

"Yes, yes we were foolish, we are guilty, here, take back these things and let me have a way out, forget it, pretend nothing happened, how about it."

He voluntarily threw over the Qiankun Bag in his hand, all things they had plundered from the Central Plains and looted from other garrisoning cultivators over recent months, mostly containing various Spirit Stones and Immortal Grass Elixirs.

And Mr. Jiang effortlessly caught the bag, weighing it in his hand, seemingly feeling its weight.

"If you'd done this earlier, there wouldn't have been any issues."

He sighed again.

"But your words just now indeed frightened me. Not only were you going to kill my whole family, but also use their corpses as worm beds, that scene was too horrifying."

"I am a timid person who can't handle scare-tactics. Just thinking about being targeted not only me but also my sect by your useless father made me shiver."
