Having lost Lin Binqiang, their backbone, the remaining dozen or so people were hardly any trouble. In a matter of moments, Wang Junze killed them all one by one, with not a single person able to escape the inn.

After finishing all this, Wang Junze returned to where Lin Binqiang lay.

The Dragon Roar Sword truly is a fine sword; despite killing so many, there wasn't even a drop of blood on its edge.

However, as Wang Junze once again stood before him, Lin Binqiang's eyes were filled only with fear. Ignoring the pain of his severed arm, he fell to his knees with a thud: "Brother Junze, I beg you to spare my life, I know I was wrong!"

"Is it not too late to beg for mercy now?"

Seeing Lin Binqiang's shameless demeanor, Wang Junze asked indifferently.

"I can compensate you, I have money! As long as you spare me, I can give you three hundred, no, five hundred... one thousand Spirit Stones!"

Faced with the threat of death, Lin Binqiang continuously increased his offer.

"Where did you learn this sword technique from? Is there a sword manual?" With his interest piqued, Wang Junze asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes! This sword technique is called Yu Luo and is obtained from a fragmented scroll. I carry it with me, and as long as you spare my life, I'll give it all to you!" Lin Binqiang hurriedly agreed.

Upon hearing this, a trace of joy finally appeared in Wang Junze's eyes.

The reason he hadn't killed Lin Binqiang straight away was precisely because of this sword manual!

Just as Lu Qing had said, although Wang Junze possessed exceptional talent in Sword Dao, he ultimately lacked a master to guide him. Over the past three years of arduous cultivation, he had only mastered one sword technique. Such methods were too monotonous; they might suffice against weaker opponents, but were inadequate against true experts. Lin Binqiang's sword technique was indeed tempting to Wang Junze.

However... he truly had no intention of sparing Lin Binqiang!

With a brilliant smile on his face, Wang Junze softly spoke: "Thank you, Third Brother Lin, not only for the Dragon Roar Sword but also for the sword manual... This kindness, I'll have to repay in the next life."

Next life?!

Upon hearing this, Lin Binqiang finally realized something was wrong, and his eyes showed a trace of fear. He hastily said: "Wang Junze, you can't kill me, I'm a Lin Family member. If you kill me, you're challenging the Lin Family; you won't escape!"

"If I let you go, would you let me off?"

With a mocking tone in his eyes, Wang Junze asked indifferently.

"I will! I definitely won't seek revenge; I can swear on it and act as if nothing happened!" Lin Binqiang hurriedly defended himself.

"Is that so?"

In the moment of those words, the Dragon Roar Sword fell once more, sealing the throat, piercing through Lin Binqiang's neck directly.

Only then did Wang Junze's latter words slowly drift over: "…but I don't trust you!"

No vengeance?

What a joke!

Lin Binqiang was like a venomous snake, utterly untrustworthy. If released now, he would definitely use every means for revenge. Next time, the ones coming might be experts from the Lin Family.

Ultimately, Wang Junze was still merely at the Meridian Opening Realm, and couldn't truly contend with the Lin Family. Lin Binqiang wouldn't be frightened into not taking revenge.

Therefore, it was better to simply kill the opponent; perhaps in doing so, it might actually delay things for a while.

With a cold expression, Wang Junze bent down to retrieve several dozen Spirit Stones and the fragmented sword manual from Lin Binqiang's body before turning to head to his room.

Returning to the room, Wang Junze did not concern himself with these matters but instead started flipping through the sword manual.

As Lin Binqiang said, it was indeed just a fragmented piece with critical sections missing. The only barely complete part was this one sword technique. However, the same sword technique appeared vastly different in Wang Junze's eyes compared to Lin Binqiang's superficial understanding.

Silence filled the night!

Lu Qing never appeared throughout the ordeal.

By the next morning, when Wang Junze awoke and went downstairs to practice his swordsmanship, everything seemed to have returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.

...

Lin Family.

Lin Kaiwei had already torn apart the entire study.

Lin Binqiang was his only son, carrying all his hopes, but now, his body lay in the courtyard. A parent burying their child, how could he not be maddened?

"Who did this? Have you found out yet?"

With a crazed look in his eyes, Lin Kaiwei coldly questioned the trusted aide in front of him.

"It has been confirmed; the third young master indeed went to kill that Wang Junze yesterday. The wounds have been examined and indeed, he died from sword injuries... But, Wang Junze was expelled by the Wang Family and only recently succeeded in Meridian Opening with the help of a Meridian Opening Pill. It's hard to imagine how he killed the third young master."

"I don't care what despicable methods he used; my son is dead, and I will make him pay blood for blood! Do you understand?"

"Yes!"
