Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1546 - 53: Kunlun Elders: Who Dares Ruin My Plans! (Part 3)

"Second brother, are you alright?"

Ma Fude brushed off the blood at the edge of his mouth and replied: "I’m fine, big brother. Stay cautious, this Sun Cong is quite peculiar. In reality, I can’t compete with him."

After hearing those words, the leader of Iron Neck Mountain remained quiet. The two Kunlun followers trailing him spoke up: "Haha, you lot truly have eyes yet fail to see, bold enough to abduct Miss Liu. It’s no surprise you lost many men. Managing to keep your lives is already a victory."

At this, Ma Fude knitted his brows and glanced toward the Kunlun disciples, then turned to his elder brother: "Who might these two be?"

Mountain Climbing Vine quickly rebuked: "Show some respect; these are the esteemed Qin and Qi heroes from Kunlun."

Ma Fude suddenly understood that Kunlun now boasts a chief and vice sect leader, plus the Four Great Elders. The chief is Chang Xuzi, the vice is Chang Kongzi, and the elders include Qin, Qi, Shu, and Hua.

Clearly, the pair standing there are Elder Qin and Elder Qi, key figures in Kunlun’s leadership.

With that realization, he cupped his hands promptly and declared: "I was blind and didn’t recognize you; please forgive my ignorance, heroes."

Elder Qin caught the words but didn’t bother looking at Ma Fude, deeming such a minor Jianghu figure unworthy of his attention. Elder Qi, though, offered a grin to Ma Fude and stated: "Ignorance is forgivable. Fine, you’re done here from this point on."

As he spoke, Elder Qi turned his gaze to the plain-looking girl concealed in the group and inquired: "Miss Liu, are you coming along willingly, or do we need to escort you?"

Hearing this, the plain girl paused for a second before moving ahead. With no way to evade anymore, hiding served no purpose.

With that in mind, the plain girl strode forward confidently, catching Xu Caijin off guard momentarily. Xu Caijin extended a hand to seize her arm and questioned: "Where do you think you’re headed?"

The plain girl’s steps halted right away. She turned to face Xu Caijin and uttered: "Miss Xu, I appreciate your kindness over these last couple of days."

Xu Caijin froze in shock and stared at the plain girl, exclaiming: "You, you’re not actually mute?"

The plain girl met Xu Caijin’s eyes and commented: "Miss Xu, your main flaw is trusting folks far too readily. Haha... Just because I made a few odd noises, that makes me mute?"

With that, the plain girl gradually approached Elder Qi and challenged: "Are you all attacking together, or taking turns?"

Elder Qi’s expression filled with scorn at her words, and he replied: "You’re badly wounded and can’t even muster Rainbow Realm power now. You expect us to gang up? Haha, you must imagine it’s still like your descent from Bright Peak!"

Those remarks caused Chen Jie to arch a brow; descending from Bright Peak meant she hailed from the Zoroastrian Sect.

Now, Chen Jie felt no more confusion; with Zoroastrian Sect and Kunlun involved, had the Six Great Sects already begun warring against Bright Peak?

Chen Jie’s look grew intricate, as swift thoughts whirled in his head about grabbing the most advantages from this mess.

While Chen Jie pondered, Elder Qi went on: "So, I suggest you don’t fight back too hard. Should we injure you further, your grandfather might grieve deeply."

The plain girl snorted: "Hmph, you Jianghu rabble—born as Han, yet you side against your own people, happily serving as lapdogs for the Mulan folk. What a shame to your forebears."

"Miss Liu, a bird picks its perch wisely, and a smart person knows the times. Your decision is poor; once life is gone, regret won’t bring it back."

"Cough cough..."

After Elder Qi’s statement, the plain girl erupted into harsh coughs and promptly ejected a spray of blood.

Witnessing her condition, Elder Qi’s features twisted in contempt, ready to move in, yet unexpectedly, Mountain Climbing Vine interjected: "Elder Qi, no need for you to handle such a young girl yourself; I’ll take care of her."

Oh?

Elder Qi’s face lit up with faint interest at Mountain Climbing Vine’s offer.

Mountain Climbing Vine added: "But Elder, you did promise to connect me with King Qi, right?"

Elder Qi gestured toward the plain girl in front: "King Qi has marked her as a wanted fugitive. Capture her successfully, and you’ll prove yourself as the kind of talent he seeks."

Delighted by this, Mountain Climbing Vine beamed inwardly. For an ambitious soul like him aiming to climb higher, any path to favor was welcome, and earning it required proving his value—today offered the perfect opportunity.

Though tales said this plain girl held Dragon Realm level, he felt no fear. For one, her injuries had slashed her abilities sharply; reaching basic Rainbow Realm would be impressive.

Moreover, he wasn’t just anyone; whispers pegged him at Rainbow Realm, but in truth, he wielded Half-step Dragon Realm might.

Far surpassing Rainbow Realm, so confronting an impaired Dragon Realm girl—he viewed her as utterly feeble.

Thus, Mountain Climbing Vine stepped up to confront her.

Elder Qi noted Mountain Climbing Vine’s lack of awareness about the girl’s real power and smirked coldly to himself. It suited him perfectly to have this fool probe the remnants of her strength.

With that thought, Elder Qi consented gladly, easing back a pace in silence.

He eyed Mountain Climbing Vine, urging him to unleash his full ferocity.

Aware it wouldn’t be simple, Mountain Climbing Vine pressed on, snatched a spear from the dirt, positioned himself against the plain girl, and demanded: "Ugly girl, are you giving up quietly, or do I make you?"

The plain girl shot him a look and queried: "Do you even know my identity?"

Mountain Climbing Vine snapped back: "I don’t give a damn who you are; get ready to perish."

With that, he lunged with his spear, cracking it like thunder, launching a sudden assault on the plain girl.

The sight of that thunderous strike sparked astonishment in everyone’s eyes. Heavens, no wonder he dared charge first—it was the power of thunder.
