Ch 272: Overconfident or suffering from persecution mania?

“What nonsense? Are you so angry because you’re inferior to me in every way? Are you trying to save face with this garbage talk?”

Xu Tianqin completely ignored Helian Jingshen’s goading technique, even returning a wave of mockery.

Helian Jingshen narrowed his eyes, took a few steps closer, and said in a voice only they could hear:

“Inferior to me in every way? Do you think I don’t know what you’ve done?”

“Change Destiny? I can’t believe you even thought of that.”

“But unfortunately, your life isn’t strong enough to support this destiny, you’ll even have to pay with your life!”

Helian Jingshen finished, giving Xu Tianqin a challenging look.

Sure enough, his face showed visible panic, and even a bit of shock.

His pupils dilated, slightly shaking with Helian Jingshen’s movements, his mouth open wide enough to swallow a lightbulb, as if thinking of a countermeasure!

Helian Jingshen smiled triumphantly.

Success!

That’s exactly the effect I wanted!

The next second, he took a half-step back, raised his foot! Leapt!

A whip leg slammed into Xu Tianqin, who quickly blocked with his arm.

But the force was too small, the defense insufficient, and he was still kicked away by Helian Jingshen!

He took three or four steps back before finally stopping!

Helian Jingshen continued to charge forward, although his thoughts were a little dull, his muscle memory wouldn’t change for a while, so he still had the upper hand.

He forced the other to retreat repeatedly, only able to dodge and defend, with no chance to fight back!

Meanwhile, Niuniu, hiding behind the wall, placed the tortoise shell, talismans, silver needles, and copper coins on the ground, arranged in a single line!

Brother Jingshen is all set on his side, all that’s left is the wind from her side!

（. ）

Niuniu directly lit the yellow talisman and began to perform the ritual!

The yellow talisman burned out, and the tortoise shell began to spin!

Niuniu’s Daoist Cultivation is high enough, but this Change Destiny secret technique is something she has never heard of before, so it will take some time!

Time passed second by second, a few drops of cold sweat dripped from Niuniu’s forehead, her cherry lips slightly pursed!

The next second, the tortoise shell, which had been spinning, suddenly stopped!

Niuniu instantly opened her eyes, the ritual complete!

The exchange of destinies was broken, and Xu Tianqin, the culprit, received his punishment!

On the stage.

Xu Tianqin, who had been desperately resisting Helian Jingshen’s attack, suddenly collapsed, his eyes even a little blurry!

“Whoa, is the Captain of Team Seven that strong? One punch knocked the guy out!”

“Serves him right! I’ve been disliking this bastard for a long time, he’s been showing off because he has connections above, he’s only been here a few days, and he’s been so domineering, he deserves a lesson!”

“I agree! Anyway, I found that satisfying, I don’t know what the higher-ups are thinking, they actually let the Captain of Team Seven go for this big oaf, and even let this big oaf manage Team Seven’s members, are they crazy?!”

“That’s right, this big oaf has no brains and no stamina, he just has a big body to scare people.”

“Yes, he was easily taken down by the Captain of Team Seven!”

“It’s more than that, I heard that at the entrance of the base, across the passage, Xu Tianqin was knocked down by a little kid who looked only six or seven years old! I heard it was a loud ‘bang bang’ when he hit the ground!”

“I heard that too! I heard that too! And Xu Tianqin was covered in mud when he came here!”

“Tsk, this kind of flashy, fake martial arts, I wonder what the higher-ups see in him?”

The crowd buzzed with discussion, but the “higher-ups” in the center of the gossip arrived!

“What are you all babbling about!?”

General Qin, the person in charge of this base, stepped onto the stage, silencing the crowd below.

“General Qin.” Helian Jingshen nodded slightly to the newcomer, as a greeting.

Qin Ming nodded in response, turned around and saw Xu Tianqin lying on the ground, his face contorted, and asked with a frown:

“Jingshen, what’s going on here?”

Helian Jingshen stood up straight, looked at the other, and said solemnly: “As you can see, a duel, he lost.”

（ˇ_ˇ:）

“Now it seems he lost and can’t take it, rolling around on the ground!”

As if to verify Helian Jingshen’s words, Xu Tianqin on the ground actually started rolling.

It looked like he was in pain.

In fact, Xu Tianqin’s head was about to explode!

The dark qi was expelled from Helian Jingshen’s body, and could only go to Xu Tianqin’s brain to wreak havoc, making his head feel like a stormy sea.

It wasn’t until three or four minutes later that he finally recovered.

The dark qi temporarily subsided, but this was only temporary.

This dark qi, now enhanced by Niuniu, is naturally extraordinary!

And it’s not something that ordinary sorcerers can dispel!

Niuniu has decided to let this dark qi follow Xu Tianqin, whenever he has any harmful thoughts, the dark qi will come out to wreak havoc, making his head ache incessantly!

This is the best punishment.

Xu Tianqin had been thinking about how to retaliate against Helian Jingshen, so his head naturally ached, but now that his evil thoughts had subsided, the dark qi also subsided.

But after a few seconds, it started to stir again.

Because Xu Tianqin’s malicious intentions were endless, as soon as he got up, he started to complain: “Superior Officer, I report that the Captain of Team Seven used underhanded tactics!”

“Under the guise of a duel, he actually wanted to take revenge, he simply disliked me leading Team Seven to greater success, so he deliberately targeted me!!”

Even as he spoke the latter half of the sentence, Xu Tianqin’s head was already aching so badly that his veins were bulging, but he still managed to finish his words.

Helian Jingshen didn’t take it seriously, he just glanced at him lightly, then quickly looked away as if he had seen something dirty.

Then he sneered disdainfully: “Is that how you use the words ‘take revenge’? I thought you were just brainless, but it turns out you’re also uneducated!”

“Why would I target you?”

“You’ve led Team Seven to greater success? That’s a joke!”

“Where were you when I led Team Seven into battle, through wind and rain? Hiding somewhere crying?”

“Now you’re reaping the benefits and accusing me of targeting you?”

“What is there about you that I should target? Because you’re simple-minded and strong? Or because you’re full of malice?”

“Do you have persecution mania? Someone walks by, and you say they’re targeting you, are you a self-righteous man?”

Helian Jingshen’s counterattack remained steady.
