NOVEL NEXT Chapter 616: Reaching the Peak 25
At that time, almost everyone in the Bishui Sect knew about it. Even though Hua Qingcheng joined the Bishui Sect later, it was remarkable that she had never heard of such a widely discussed topic.
But regardless of whether Hua Qingcheng had deliberately schemed in her past life or competed innocently, Tan Shuangshuang didn't care anymore. Whether Hua Qingcheng schemed or not, the real reason was that Liang Ziqian didn't like her. Not only that, he never planned anything for Tan Shuangshuang.
For Liang Ziqian, when he didn't have someone he liked, he accepted all of Tan Shuangshuang's efforts without feeling indebted. After meeting Hua Qingcheng, he simply and bluntly said, "I don't like you. It's impossible between us. Please leave."
He never thought about what would happen to Tan Shuangshuang, who had lost everything for him and was abandoned by almost everyone, after she left. He only knew that Tan Shuangshuang's existence was hindering his pursuit of Hua Qingcheng, nothing more.
So, it wasn't about Tan Shuangshuang being magnanimous and not caring about Hua Qingcheng, there was simply nothing to care about. The one who really wronged her was Liang Ziqian. Tan Shuangshuang felt she was too foolish in her past life and never thought of seeking revenge, let alone against Hua Qingcheng.
To say that Hua Qingcheng stole her man is a deep hatred is simply not enough, because Tan Shuangshuang felt from the bottom of her heart that her liking for Liang Ziqian was because of that strange pink thing in her heart, not true affection.
Since it wasn't someone she truly liked, there was no hatred of love being stolen between her and Hua Qingcheng. Besides, apart from presumably scheming to make Liang Ziqian like her, Hua Qingcheng had no other conflict with Tan Shuangshuang.
In fact, in her past life, Hua Qingcheng rarely met Tan Shuangshuang, because Liang Ziqian was afraid Tan Shuangshuang would hurt Hua Qingcheng, so he protected Hua Qingcheng well and never allowed Tan Shuangshuang to get close.
Tan Shuangshuang didn't want Hua Qingcheng's group to discover her tracks, so she chose a spot far from Hua Qingcheng's group to ambush, and then she looked towards the source of the commotion.
Upon seeing, Tan Shuangshuang was stunned because she recognized someone below. It was Lu Tianyi, who last time angrily walked away after some entanglement with Hua Qingcheng.
At this moment, Lu Tianyi and a pair of middle-aged couple were being attacked by a group of people. Around them, many guards were lying on the ground in disarray, seemingly in critical condition.
The group didn't speak, they just continued attacking relentlessly. Despite Lu Tianyi and the couple angrily questioning them loudly from time to time, there was no response from the attackers, as if they were determined to take lives.
Tan Shuangshuang frowned. These attackers were all wearing the same style of clothing. Although they acted ruthlessly without saying a word, their coordination was excellent, indicating this wasn't their first time doing such things.
Wearing the same clothes and having good coordination easily makes one think of some shady organization. Moreover, the attackers were capturing or killing people everywhere, without leaving bodies, likely taking them to some sinister place.
Tan Shuangshuang observed that the attackers' levels weren't high, the highest being a Third Rank Warrior, similar to her level, while most others were of the Warrior Level. However, Lu Tianyi and the middle-aged couple had low combat power, with the strongest middle-aged man only being an Eighth Rank Martial Artist, which led to their dangerous situation being surrounded.
Speaking of which, Lu Tianyi had caused no small trouble for Tan Shuangshuang in her past life, even deeper than the grudge between her and Hua Qingcheng. Tan Shuangshuang really wanted to just stand by and watch Lu Tianyi suffer.
But even though she thought like that, Tan Shuangshuang couldn't truly do so, because Lu Tianyi and the couple were already at their wits' end, and if she didn't act, lives would be lost.
Although Tan Shuangshuang disliked Lu Tianyi, in her past life, Lu Tianyi merely caused some trouble for her, not to the extent of deserving death.
Moreover, Tan Shuangshuang noticed that Hua Qingcheng's group, lurking nearby, had no intention of helping, which was understandable. Hua Qingcheng's side had four people in total. Hua Qingcheng herself was just a weak Martial Arts Apprentice, with negligible combat power.
Besides Hua Qingcheng, the other three were Martial Artists. Against the warriors surrounding Lu Tianyi, they had no chance of winning. The only thing they could do was perhaps take someone and run while the attackers were unprepared; there was no other way.
Tan Shuangshuang naturally wouldn't do the same. She was a Third Rank Warrior, and with her incredibly strong body, she directly dashed out from her hiding spot, rushing towards one of the attackers.
As Tan Shuangshuang emerged, her spiritual power circulated, her fists clenched, and in an instant, her muscles tightened, her strength pouring into the martial technique she was so adept at, the Overlapping Waves Fist, throwing a punch.
The Overlapping Waves Fist originated from the Thousand Layered Sword, and its effects were similar, both stacking layers of power. The more layers stacked, the stronger the power and attack.
Tan Shuangshuang's punch directly confronted a warrior attacking Lu Tianyi. That person was a Ninth-level Warrior, just a step away from breaking through to a martial master.
Perceiving Tan Shuangshuang had only the power of a Third Rank Warrior, that person showed a contemptuous expression, raising his hand casually to block, clearly not taking Tan Shuangshuang seriously.
Unfortunately, he underestimated Tan Shuangshuang's strength. Her spiritual power might not surpass his, but her physical fitness was extremely formidable, having dispersed her power three times for cultivation of the physical body, revealing how strong her physical power was. Thus, not only did the man fail to block her punch, but Tan Shuangshuang also broke his arm and continued with a punch to his head, knocking him down!
After taking down this person, Tan Shuangshuang wasted no time and immediately pursued the next person in line, who was also a warrior but of a lower level than the previous one defeated by her.
Seeing Tan Shuangshuang easily take down their most formidable leader in their group, the person immediately took two cautious steps back, daring not to let his guard down as he swiftly swung the weapon in his hand, quickly flashing in front of Tan Shuangshuang to attack.
Naturally, Tan Shuangshuang wasn't afraid. Under the shocked gaze of that person, she unexpectedly faced the weapon with her bare hands! The man's gaze changed instantly towards Tan Shuangshuang, likely thinking she was crazy.
But Tan Shuangshuang wasn't crazy; she was just extremely confident in herself. Under that person's incredulous gaze, Tan Shuangshuang punched the weapon with a fist!
As a result, Tan Shuangshuang's fist remained unscathed, while the opponent's weapon was sent flying by her punch. Moreover, the person couldn't help but cry out in pain, and upon closer inspection, it could be seen that his palm was split open.
Before the person could recover to counterattack, Tan Shuangshuang's other punch arrived, and despite the person trying their best to defend, he was still knocked unconscious by Tan Shuangshuang's ferocious punch!
