Chapter 65

Listen to the background setting of the main character of this book. When I write, every detail is carefully considered. Therefore, there's no need for you to remind me about the contrast between the protagonist's archaeological academic background and his performance in the space. I need to remind you that a person's behavior in an environment is closely related to that environment itself. In reality, there are many people who have fallen on hard times. Does that mean they all lack ability or intelligence? A prime example is the founder of our dynasty, who was a librarian, and the madman from Germany, who had various jobs before the Beer Hall Putsch. Look at the most cunning killers; what are their usual professions and identities? I set this up to give a realistic portrayal of those who are struggling in real life, and to tell you that you can do well. As long as you can bring out the strong side of your inner self. Humans have many dimensions, including the true self and the ego. Read Hitchcock carefully and see what kind of people he portrays as the most brutal serial killers. If you can't understand, I don't force it. But there's no need to repeatedly remind the author. Thank you for your support.

In the future, whether Extermination is still around or not, Song Qingshu and Zhou Zhiruo, as the leaders of Wudang and Emei, will surely deepen their bond and work together to promote their respective sects.

Song Yuanqiao observed Zhou Zhiruo with great satisfaction, but his face turned stern as he shouted, "What kind of decorum is this?"

Yin Liting, thinking of his fiancée Ji Xiaofu who was taken and killed by Yang Xiao, tears streaming down his face, said to Song Yuanqiao, "Brother, if I had had Qingshu's skills and courage back then, Xiaofu wouldn't have died. You must listen to me!"

Song Yuanqiao nodded solemnly.

In the Ming Cult camp, an intense atmosphere of hatred was spreading.

"Song Qingshu, you!" Zhang Wujie felt like he was about to explode with anger!

He was about to rush forward to kill Lin Qing!

Lin Qing just gave a cold laugh, "From the beginning of the story, you've been suppressing me with your protagonist aura. But now..."

He lowered his head and looked at Zhou Zhiruo with deep emotion, "Zhiruo, are you willing to marry me and be my wife?"

Zhou Zhiruo's face flushed, her body trembling, and she nodded lightly, her voice barely audible.

Lin Qing heard a prompt.

"The female lead, Zhou Zhiruo, has agreed to follow you for life. Are you willing to exchange 1000 points of fortune for her?"

"Entry [Exchange Female Lead]: Due to your special attribute [Rebellious Tyrant], you have the unique ability to exchange female leads in the space. The female lead can be stored in the space, taken out of this world, and follow you forever. You can summon her for combat, but you need to pay fortune points based on the time."

"Agree!" Lin Qing chose firmly.

A beam of light flashed.

He felt a strong mental connection with Zhou Zhiruo, as if an unbreakable umbilical cord connected them, allowing their hearts to resonate.

Zhou Zhiruo's beautiful eyes gazed at Lin Qing, and she said softly, "I am willing to be by your side for life, and I hope you will never abandon me."

Lin Qing nodded forcefully.

He received a prompt.

"Your first Ring Fragment task, obtaining Zhou Zhiruo, is complete!"

"You have gained 600 points of fortune."

"Your current fortune points are 700!"

"You have completed three Ring Fragment tasks!"

"Due to the Rebellious Tyrant attribute, you can choose to immediately shatter the protagonist aura of Zhang Wujie!"

"Do you want to exercise this power?"

"Yes!" Lin Qing looked coldly at the charging Zhang Wujie and made his choice.

His large hand stretched high into the air.

Then.

He clenched it tightly, as if crushing something in the air!

Zhang Wujie, who was charging forward, suddenly felt as if he had been hit by a hammer in the heart, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!

He stared at Lin Qing with a look of hatred in his eyes.

In his heart, he heard a sharp, crisp sound.

It was as if something innate and extremely important had been shattered by Lin Qing.

He couldn't explain it, but he was terrified.

Lin Qing, however, saw it clearly.

In his eyes, Zhang Wujie's protagonist aura, which had been invisible and unseeable, now appeared like a glass halo, shattered by a surge of arrogance from his chest.

He felt a rebellious neigh in his chest. The sound was like a wild horse, a night owl's laugh, and the roar of an ancient beast.

A creature that was neither horse nor owl burst out from his chest, its deep black eyes gleaming with unbridled greed.

Its hooves galloped, accelerating towards Zhang Wujie.

Zhang Wujie's protagonist aura trembled under the unique beast's ferocity, and with a crisp sound, it shattered into a million pieces.

The pieces turned into stars, like a galaxy, slowly descending.

The creature, like a thirsty dragon, greedily inhaled the galaxy of light fragments, absorbing them all into its body!

Zhang Wujie's face turned ashen, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to look at Lin Qing.

It was as if an invisible hand had taken his soul and bestowed it upon Lin Qing!

Divine power, granted by heaven!

Lin Qing was intoxicated by the bath of the galaxy.

He closed his eyes, savoring the wondrous feeling.

"Is this the feeling of shattering a ring? This feeling..." He suddenly opened his eyes, a sinister smile on his lips: "Damn, it's good!"

He looked down at his space attributes.

"You have shattered the protagonist aura of the main character Zhang Wujie in 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber'!"

"Your Rebellious Tyrant aura has absorbed all the fortune points from the shattered protagonist aura."

"You have gained 2000 points of fortune."

"Your Rebellious Tyrant aura has absorbed enough fortune points and is now entering a dormant state. When it awakens, your aura will truly awaken!"

Lin Qing could faintly sense that the creature, neither horse nor owl, was sleeping in his chest, like a well-fed infant, preparing to break through and transform.

Zhang Wujie, struck by this sudden change, looked at Lin Qing with lifeless eyes.

He felt that something important had been taken from him by Lin Qing.

Although his martial arts skills and Xiao Zhao were still with him, he no longer had the hidden aura and spirit he once had.

He had fallen from his pedestal and returned to mediocrity.

Lin Qing, on the other hand, was the opposite.

In the eyes of the crowd, he now shone brightly, and they looked at him with different gazes.

He had replaced Zhang Wujie as the protagonist of the 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber' world.

He now possessed fortune.

All the bad luck he had before was swept away, replaced by the treatment of a protagonist.

"Your protagonist fortune has increased Zhou Zhiruo's affection for you by 10 points, reaching 90."

Lin Qing walked steadily to Zhang Wujie, looking down at the former protagonist from a height.

"Go!" Lin Qing said solemnly, "I hope we won't meet again as enemies."

This was Lin Qing's wisdom.

He understood the principle of cutting off the root. But at this moment, even without the protagonist aura, Zhang Wujie could not be killed.

Because behind him were Song Yuanqiao and the Five Heroes of Wudang.

Zhang Wujie, no matter how useless, was still the son of Zhang Cuishan.

Unless Lin Qing was willing to give up being the leader of Wudang, they would not stand by and let Zhang Wujie be killed.

And there was Zhou Zhiruo.

Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wujie had once been in love. If Lin Qing showed a ruthless side and killed his predecessor, it was hard to predict how the kind-hearted Zhou Zhiruo would react.

Considering these two factors, Lin Qing weighed the pros and cons and decided to spare Zhang Wujie.

Zhang Wujie, without the protagonist fortune, was like a toothless tiger, unable to cause much trouble. It was unnecessary for Lin Qing to be tainted by him.

However, there was no need to spare the others.

Lin Qing's gaze locked onto White-Browed Eagle King, Green-Winged Bat King, and... the Hong Gang!

The Five Scattered Men and others, due to their minimal contributions, had not dropped any keys, and even if they had, they were buried under tons of rocks and could not be retrieved.

But killing these richest targets would still bring great wealth.

At this point, the Ming Cult was already at the end of its strength, and White-Browed Eagle King and others were barely holding on, breathing heavily.

Their strength was greatly depleted, and now they had to face the six major sects' army, which had the absolute advantage due to the plot reversal.

The six major sects now had over 2000 people, surrounding the exit tightly, while the Ming Cult camp was down to 9 people.

The five members of the Hong Gang were filled with despair.

Lin Qing just waved his hand.

Hundreds of female disciples of the Emei Sect, wielding long swords, formed a battle formation, surrounding the five and forcing them to move towards a secluded area of the village.

Lin Qing had many thoughts, fearing that some matters would be difficult to handle in front of Song Yuanqiao and the other heroes. He decided to use the Emei Sect to isolate these people, giving him the freedom to deal with them as he pleased.

The six major sects were indifferent to these people. To them, these five were just minor figures in the Ming Cult, and their attention was still on Yang Xiao, Zhang Wujie, and others.

Lin Qing asked for mercy from Master Kongzhi, saying that he had a deep grudge with these five during the mission to investigate Bright Peak and needed to settle it. Master Kongzhi just gave a few words of advice and let Lin Qing handle it. Since Lin Qing had destroyed the entire Ming Cult, killing a few minor figures was nothing.

The five members of the Hong Gang were dejected, their eyes darting around.
