The Protagonists' Chat Group: Beyond the Boundaries

"Wahahaha, a hero saving the beauty! Brother Meng Qi is too handsome! I want to pledge myself to you and marry you!" Xiao Yan sent a string of inexplicable bullet comments.

These bullet comments made Meng Qi stiffen. His fists stiffened. He found that Xiao Yan was somewhat repressed; he hadn't felt this way when he first joined the group. After they got more familiar, his repressed nature was exposed. Now in the live stream, he was even more unbridled.

"This is a live stream, not a deserted area, Xiao Yan, rein it in!" Shi Jian spoke up, reprimanding Xiao Yan.

Meng Qi felt a warmth in his heart after seeing Shi Jian's bullet comment. It has to be my Brother Shi. He knows how to protect his own.

However, this feeling of gratitude only lasted for a moment...

"Little Meng, your hero-saving-the-beauty act isn't good. You have to wait until Jiang Zhiwei is severely injured before you act. That way, not only do you save her life, but she'll be heavily wounded, and then she'll only be able to rely on you..."

"A wounded woman relying on you wholeheartedly, then you can 'hehehe'!"

The bullet comments Shi Jian sent were from the original work. In the original work, Jiang Zhiwei was injured and couldn't move easily, and then Meng Qi acted as her human mount. The two directly performed Body Integration, turning into the "Meng-Jiang Beast."

Meng Qi's face darkened as he looked at Shi Jian's bullet comments. I'm seriously clearing a dungeon, and you're talking about this? You're making me sound like an Evil Path practitioner. Meng Qi even wanted to kick these two out of the live stream. He stopped paying attention to the live stream's bullet comments and instead looked at the words in front of him.

"Jiang Zhiwei, Meng Qi saved Cheng Yong from the control of the Heart-Snatching Pill, completing the side quest. Each is rewarded with 10 good deeds!"

The blood on the ground gathered into words. The side quest was completed.

"You really hit the nail on the head, the Four Great Heroes were all controlled..." Jiang Zhiwei looked at Meng Qi with a complicated expression. She felt a mysterious aura surrounding Meng Qi. "Also, thank you for saving me just now..." Jiang Zhiwei expressed her gratitude to Meng Qi. Although she had some precautions, Cheng Yong's sudden attack, even if she reacted, would have caused her some injury.

"It's nothing... Let's go meet up with the others first." Meng Qi said calmly.

Jiang Zhiwei nodded. The two were about to leave when they suddenly noticed the words on the ground changing.

"Qisha saved Ding Changsheng from the control of the Heart-Snatching Pill, completing the side quest, rewarded with ten good deeds."

"Zhang Yuanshan, Qing Jing saved..."

Several messages flashed continuously. Jiang Zhiwei's face broke into a smile: "Sister Qisha, and Senior Brother Zhang, Qing Jing, they all completed the task too! They must have listened to you and taken precautions!"

The Four Great Heroes were not weak in strength. However, compared to Zhang Yuanshan and the others, they were far inferior. Knowing in advance that they were controlled by the Heart-Snatching Pill, everyone naturally wouldn't be ambushed.

Meng Qi frowned, pretending to analyze: "Since the Four Great Heroes were all controlled by the Heart-Snatching Pill, why were they still locked in the secret room prison? This is clearly a trap..."

"The Manor Lord of Hidden Emperor Manor couldn't possibly know we would come to do a mission..."

Jiang Zhiwei, reminded by him, blurted out: "Unless the target of the trap isn't us!"

"Perhaps there were reinforcements behind the Four Great Heroes, and these Four Great Heroes were a trap designed specifically for those reinforcements!" Jiang Zhiwei stated her guess. After speaking, she looked at him with shining eyes, as if she was eagerly awaiting Meng Qi's approval.

Meng Qi, who had already read the script, naturally knew this was the truth. He was intentionally guiding Jiang Zhiwei to think in this direction.

"That's right!" Meng Qi paused, then continued, "The Lord of Reincarnation probably wants us to unite with the local experts of this world to jointly attack the Manor Lord of Hidden Emperor Manor!"

"Mm!" Jiang Zhiwei responded.

After discussing for a while, the two were about to leave when suddenly, footsteps came from afar. The people who arrived were precisely the reinforcements they had guessed. Seven or eight people, all dressed in short, casual clothes. These people were startled when they saw Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei, as well as Cheng Yong's corpse on the ground.

"Ge Zhuangzhu, they killed Cheng Daxia..." A person with a somewhat pointed nose and monkey-like cheeks shouted, while the others raised their weapons and watched the two defensively.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhiwei knew that this group was the reinforcements. Unwilling to clash with them, she began to explain: "Everyone, please don't misunderstand. We are here by our Sect's command to assist Ma Daxia!"

"After we entered Hidden Emperor Manor, we learned that Ma Daxia and others were trapped inside, so we split up to rescue them. Who knew that after we opened the stone door and rescued Cheng Daxia, he was controlled by the Heart-Snatching Pill and suddenly ambushed me!"

"Fortunately, Junior Brother Ding Zhen acted and killed him!" Jiang Zhiwei recounted the events.

After hearing her words, everyone's gaze turned to Meng Qi. A young monk with fair skin and red lips.

"How is that possible? This young monk, no matter how much he trained from the womb, couldn't possibly defeat Cheng Daxia... let alone kill Cheng Daxia with a single sword thrust to the throat!" The person with the pointed nose and monkey-like cheeks questioned.

It had to be said, Meng Qi's appearance was indeed good. Standing there, he truly had the demeanor of a Grandmaster. But he was too young. How could he have killed Cheng Yong with a single sword thrust to the throat?

Everyone saw the wound on Cheng Yong's body, a red dot on his neck. His eyes were wide open, full of disbelief. Clearly, he hadn't even reacted before being killed with a single sword thrust to the throat. Such skill would require a Sword Grandmaster to execute. How could it have been this young monk?

The other few people all agreed, and their vigilance towards Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei deepened.

Seeing this situation, Meng Qi knew his chance to show off had arrived. He revealed another charmingly evil smile.

"Here it comes, here it comes, everyone clear out, my Brother Meng is about to show off..."

"Oh no, the Dragon King is grinning!" Xiao Yan and Shi Jian immediately cheered him on in the chat group.

Fang Han, Yang Qi, and others felt a strange sense of familiarity upon seeing this scene.

"My cultivation was crippled, and when my father held the family meeting, it felt somewhat similar..." Yang Qi thought to himself. After he stole the Dragon-Subduing Pill and his Cultivation was crippled, the various branches of the Yang family challenged his father. He himself was also questioned. Then he displayed his Qi Realm Cultivation and immediately suppressed everyone. That scene had a similar effect to Meng Qi's current situation.

"Was I smiling like that back then?" Yang Qi was having an existential crisis.

"It seems I also smiled like that during the family martial arts competition..." Lin Dong also recalled his youthful days. He too had been questioned during the clan competition back then. As a result, due to the Stone Talisman, his strength advanced by leaps and bounds, thus astonishing everyone.

"Was I smiling that annoyingly back then?" Lin Dong showed a disgusted expression...

Meng Qi had basically become immune to the live stream's bullet comments. He raised the exquisite longsword in his hand, preparing to display a wave of swordsmanship. Mang Jin Gang and all that could go to hell. He was a peerless swordsman who killed a man in ten steps and traveled a thousand miles without leaving a trace.
