Chapter 224: Kill!!

“Five! Poison! Sect!”
Each word was spat out slowly and grittingly by Kaixin! Every word seemed to carry immense force, striking heavily at the heart of the man with the hooked nose and everyone else present.
“Stop!”
Seeing Kaixin arrive in time, the man with the hooked nose immediately realized things were out of control. He promptly gave up the idea of killing “Tieying” to seize the treasure and ordered his men to cease fighting.
For the strictly disciplined subgroups of “Yipin Tang,” obedience was mandatory. Though still seething with anger, they obeyed and put away the pots and poisonous substances, ready to have a proper discussion with Kaixin.
“Boss!”
As soon as Xiao Bei saw Kaixin arrive and bring order to the scene, he knew he was saved. Overjoyed, he took the chance to observe the female hero who had saved him by surprise.
What met his eyes were fearless eyes filled with spiritual energy. The fighting finally stopped, and the sword was turned, gently landing near Xiao Bei. He looked up, puzzled, at the two terrifying-looking zombies standing calmly beside Xiao Bei, wondering if those fierce creatures didn’t belong to the group across from them…
“Thank you, lady hero, for saving me!”
Having spent these days with Kaixin, Xiao Bei had grown accustomed to using the language and habits of martial artists. He bowed deeply and thanked her straightforwardly.
Mo Mo was still wondering about the origin of the zombies when she heard Xiao Bei’s thanks. Feeling somewhat reassured that he didn’t seem rude, she nodded slightly: “It’s fine. I just can’t stand them bullying the weak!” As she spoke, her gaze shifted to the man on top of the ancient tomb, who made the members of the Five Poison Sect feel like they were facing a formidable enemy. Frowning, she asked, “Who is he? Your companion?” Though inexperienced, the aura emanating from this man still gave her a sense of pressure. Fortunately, his main attention was still on the Five Poison Sect.
“Mm, my boss,” Xiao Bei said proudly, hands behind his back, his face now free from the fear and unease he had shown during the siege, looking completely relaxed.
Mo Mo glanced at Xiao Bei again in confusion, then shifted her gaze to Kaixin’s sharp, icy-faced expression. She blinked, somewhat disinterested, as the reaction of the Five Poison Sect members clearly showed they also feared this newcomer. It seemed this strange guy beside him was no longer in danger.
Just as she was about to leave…
Words from the group of the Five Poison Sect made her freeze in place.
“Kaixin!”

The man with a hooked nose shouted indignantly, “You’re now a renowned expert in the martial world. Instead of controlling your subordinates, you allow them to rob and kill! You’re bullying people with your power! If you can’t give me an explanation and hand over the murderer, I wonder how you’ll face the heroes of the world!”
Huh?
What’s going on?
Mo Mo was stunned.
From start to finish, she had thought it was the people from the Five Poisons Sect bullying others, surrounding Xiao Bei to rob him of his loot, which led her to step in to help. Moreover… no matter how you looked at it, Xiao Bei didn’t seem like the kind of person who would single-handedly provoke a whole group of Five Poisons Sect disciples.
So now, the person she considered the villain was boldly scolding a smaller “vulnerable group”?
“…”
Kai Xin remained motionless, not answering. Instead, she stared down at the man with a hooked nose and the group of Five Poisons Sect disciples with an unnervingly cold gaze, as if lost in memories.
The man with a hooked nose waited for a long time without receiving any response from Kai Xin. His heart sank, and his expression grew increasingly grim.
The man from the First Rank Hall also didn’t expect Kai Xin to react in such a way after hearing their accusations. He sensed something was wrong, especially the sharpness in Kai Xin’s gaze as it passed over the man with a hooked nose, suggesting that things might be developing in a direction they hadn’t anticipated at all…
“Kai Xin!”
The man with a hooked nose, his face dark with anger, looked up at Kai Xin, his fury growing stronger: “Watch this! Here…” He waved his hand around, pointing at the corpses of the Five Poisons Sect disciples, his tone rising unconsciously: “This is the work of your so-called ‘good brother’! He wouldn’t let me hunt Tie Ying, saying he’d wait for you to decide. Then, more than a dozen of my brothers died needlessly at the hands of your ‘good brother’! And this bitch just showed up out of nowhere to kill my men!”
His gaze shifted to Mo Mo, dressed in a purple robe with a face full of shock, and his tone became even sharper and more resolute: “I’m telling you! Today, I must keep your brother and this bitch here to give an explanation to my Five Poisons Sect brothers! If you want to get involved, think carefully! Don’t bring disaster upon yourself—your reputation will be ruined!”
After saying that, he didn’t intend to wait for Kai Xin’s reply anymore. Gritting his teeth, he ordered his remaining disciples: “Kill them!”
Xiao Bei and Mo Mo’s expressions changed.
The former felt uneasy after hearing the man with a hooked nose’s righteous accusations, not expecting him to make things out to be so serious;
As for Mo Mo, she was now completely confused and frustrated.

The accusations from the Five Poisons Sect were very clear—everything stemmed from the man beside her, the one she had saved. It was him who had messed with others’ plans and even stolen monsters.
“As expected, none of them are good people.”
Mo Mo gave a speechless glance at the ugly zombie disguised as a villain beside Xiao Bei. It seemed she realized they had indeed overstepped their bounds this time. But since a feud had already been formed, she wasn’t planning to just leave. As the disciples of the Five Poisons Sect rushed at her, she held her long sword across her chest, her gaze turning fierce.
Although she was somewhat at fault…
But who could blame those players from the Five Poisons Sect for their sick sense of humor—raising poisonous insects and even using a disgusting centipede as their gang emblem? They clearly weren’t good people, so killing them was only natural, without any sense of guilt.
Just then, a cold mocking voice came from atop the ancient tomb:
“Reputably ruined?”
Immediately afterward, the sound of flowing robes broke the air as Kai Xin floated down from the tomb’s roof, landing right in front of the vice leader of the Five Poisons Sect, the man with the hooked nose. His gaze remained as icy and indifferent as ever.
Although the man with the hooked nose felt an invisible sense of pressure under Kai Xin’s gaze, thinking of the “evidence” in his hands, he straightened his back. “Hmph! I’ve already recorded everything about your brother stealing monsters. If you interfere recklessly, someone will surely judge what’s right!”
No sooner had he finished speaking than a strange sentence drifted into the man’s ears from Kai Xin’s mouth.
“Do you know what the martial world is?”
The latter was stunned, not understanding the meaning of Kai Xin’s words.
Seemingly expecting him not to be able to answer, Kai Xin gazed into the distance and murmured, “You might not understand now, or you might pretend not to. But you’ll understand soon enough…”
Whoosh!
With lightning-fast speed, she grabbed the man’s neck.
He never expected Kai Xin to attack him. By the time he tried to react, it was too late—his meridians were controlled, and he couldn’t exert any force.
Amidst the shocked and angry shouts around them, Kai Xin stared at his terrified and furious face, her gaze cold, resolute… and tinged with a sense of vengeance.
“Crack!”
