Chapter 31: A Massacre Begins, Dog Eats Dog

Chapter 31: A Massacre Begins, Dog Eats Dog

On the way back to the Yaochi Sacred Land, Qin Xuan slowed his pace.

Stopping at a dense forest that stretched for dozens of miles, he looked around and spoke indifferently, "Since you are already here, there's no need to keep sneaking around."

Clap, clap, clap—

In the dense forest, the sound of clapping rang out.

One by one, True Disciples of Thunder Prison Peak dressed in purple robes with gold belts emerged unhurriedly, surrounding Qing Ning. One of them praised, "As expected of the scourge who possesses a top-tier Sacred Artifact. Just this eyesight alone is already extraordinary."

A seventh-stage Supernatural Realm True Disciple of Thunder Prison Peak said with hostility, "The one fighting you for your fiancée is Ye Feng. Why did you have to lay hands on Junior Sister Qing Ning?"

"Do you really think that just because you possess a top-tier Sacred Artifact, you can run amok in our Yaochi Sacred Land and bully the people of our Thunder Prison Peak?"

Another eighth-stage Supernatural Realm Disciple sneered, "To even dare humiliate Junior Sister Qing Ning, you truly do not know how to write the word 'death'."

"Kneel!"

"Apologize to Junior Sister Qing Ning, and perhaps we can leave you with an intact corpse today."

Qin Xuan rolled his eyes. "Idiots!"

With a casual flick of his wrist, the heavenly desolation halberd was grasped in his palm.

His Perfection-level comprehension of the "Tianhuang True Solution" made the heavenly desolation halberd feel like an extension of his own arm.

With a flash of his figure, the tip of the halberd carved a trench into the ground.

The halberd's light was cold and sharp. Accompanied by the sound of tearing flesh, the chest of that arrogant eighth-stage Supernatural Realm Disciple was precisely pierced by the heavenly desolation halberd.

Pfft!

With a twist and a shake of the heavenly desolation halberd in Qin Xuan's hand, the body of the Thunder Prison Peak True Disciple exploded into a mist of blood, causing the surrounding atmosphere to instantly freeze.

"Qin Xuan, you dare kill him!"

The three remaining Thunder Prison Peak True Disciples paled in shock.

They never expected that Qin Xuan would kill someone directly without a second word.

This was within the territory of the Yaochi Sacred Land. Had he eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gall? How did he dare!

"So you all are allowed to kill me, but I am not allowed to kill you?" Qin Xuan sneered.

His body moved like an illusion, vanishing like a ghost.

Possessing the Chaos Hongmeng Body, he was not merely immune to all physical elements.

He also possessed extraordinary combat strength.

Coupled with the High Grade Sacred Artifact, the heavenly desolation halberd, and his Perfection in the Saint Grade Cultivation Technique, "Tianhuang True Solution,"

Within the Supernatural Realm, Qin Xuan could be considered completely matchless.

A mere few True Disciples of the Supernatural Realm were simply not worth his concern.

Every time the heavenly desolation halberd thrust out, it was inevitably accompanied by the fall of a True Disciple.

Within three breaths, the several Thunder Prison Peak Saint's Disciples who had followed Qing Ning were all slain.

Not even an intact corpse was left behind.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Within the dense forest, essence energy violently surged.

Swaths of ancient trees collapsed as two Heavenly Human Realm experts hidden in the shadows flew into a rage, "Thief, you deserve to die!"

These two were the true trump cards that Qing Ning had invited.

They had been hiding in the shadows, preparing to suppress Qin Xuan's ancient prison-suppressing tower.

That was why those four True Disciples had dared to be so arrogant and provocative.

No matter how much they racked their brains, they never could have imagined that before they could even make a move, the True Disciples would all have died under Qin Xuan's heavenly desolation halberd.

"Slaying the True Disciples of the Yaochi Sacred Land—our Thunder Prison Peak shall enforce the law on behalf of the Holy Land."

"Execute him on the spot!"

The two Heavenly Human Realm experts were filled with rage.

Right under their noses, Qin Xuan had slaughtered four True Disciples.

If word of this got out, even if they weren't expelled from the Holy Land, they would still be punished by being sent to Black Wind Cliff to contemplate their actions.

This humiliating disgrace had to be washed away with Qin Xuan's life.

Qing Ning stood dazed on the spot, staring at the blood mist that refused to disperse for a long time, completely dumbfounded.

Shock!

Suffocation!

Unbelievable!

She had thought that by inviting two Heavenly Human Realm experts, success was guaranteed.

When she encountered four Senior Brothers who wanted to stand up for her, she naturally wouldn't decline their kindness.

But she never expected that Qin Xuan would be this strong!

Without even using the ancient prison-suppressing tower, and with only a cultivation at the fourth stage of the Supernatural Realm, he had killed all four of her high-stage Supernatural Realm Senior Brothers!

"Qin Xuan, prepare to die!"

With a wave of his hand, one of the Heavenly Human Realm experts summoned a giant palm that spanned hundreds of feet, tearing through the sky and pressing down toward Qin Xuan in the dense forest.

Essence energy surged like giant waves, crashing against the sky. Merely from the descent of the pressure, the ancient trees within dozens of miles collapsed inch by inch, turning into powder.

Large chunks of earth peeled away from the ground, and the area where Qin Xuan stood collapsed layer by layer.

This left Qin Xuan, who had previously been standing on level ground, trapped inside a massive pit under the pressure.

"The Heavenly Human Realm? If you want to kill me, you are far too weak."

As Qin Xuan spoke, deep blue ice crystals slowly emerged above his head.

The ice crystals were translucent and clear like jade, each one distinct.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Powered by Saint force, the ice crystals shot out.

Unlike the world-shaking attacks of the Heavenly Human Realm,

these tiny ice crystals seemed completely ordinary, but in reality, they harbored hidden profundities and penetrated everywhere, scaring the two Heavenly Human Realm experts into dodging in succession.

"Saint force!"

"You actually have a helper in the Saint Realm!"

The two Heavenly Human Realm experts paled in shock.

From within the ancient prison-suppressing tower, Leng Li's voice pronounced coldly, "Two Heavenly Human Realm ants, how dare you act so insolently before this venerable one?"

Crackle—The two Heavenly Human Realm experts, who were standing in mid-air, had their skin nicked by the ice crystals. From their wounds, a chilling frost spread out, instantly enveloping them both in extreme cold.

The eyes of the two Heavenly Human Realm experts were filled with utter bewilderment. In their extreme terror, they were transformed into two ice sculptures.

Having lost control over their essence energy, they plunged straight down to the ground.

With two thuds, the ice sculptures smashed against the ground, shattering into fine powder and vanishing without a trace as a gentle breeze blew by.

"Dead... Even the Heavenly Human Realm experts are dead?"

Qing Ning swallowed hard in terror.

Everything happening before her eyes had already exceeded her comprehension.

Watching Qin Xuan approach step by step, she roared in anger and hysteria, "Qin Xuan, you are dead! You dared to kill True Disciples, and you even dared to invite a Saint to execute the Holy Land's Heavenly Human Realm experts! This is an irreconcilable, deadly feud!"

"Do you hate me? I really like your current expression."

Qin Xuan stopped in front of Qing Ning. The heavenly desolation halberd thrust out violently, piercing through her chest. "However, you still have to die."

Since Qing Ning wanted to kill him, then she had to die.

And he would make her death highly valuable.

She would become his fatal trump card to eliminate Ye Feng!

*Cough!*

Qing Ning coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood. She lowered her head and stared at her pierced chest, where bright red blood was continuously spilling out.

Her face was as pale as ash.

Her heart was filled with misery.

Was she going to die?

She had overestimated herself in trying to avenge Senior Brother Ye Feng, only to end up dying at Qin Xuan's hands.

She wondered if Senior Brother Ye Feng would grieve for her once he learned of her death.

Surely, after Senior Brother Ye Feng learned of what she had done, he would no longer constantly long for Mu Qingxue.

That Fairy Qingxue protected her fiancé, Qin Xuan.

Yet the one who had always stood by Senior Brother Ye Feng's side was her all along.

She had even lost her life for it!

From within the ancient prison-suppressing tower, Leng Li's black-robed figure appeared beside Qin Xuan. Staring at Qing Ning, whose life force was beginning to dissipate, she sneered at Qin Xuan and played along, "What, is this your Junior Sister, and you can't bear to kill her?"

Pfft!

Qin Xuan pulled out the heavenly desolation halberd, allowing Qing Ning to collapse into a pool of blood without sparing her another glance.

His eyes held nothing but extremely frenzied killing intent. "I want her life force to dissipate inch by inch, preferably dying right as Qin Xuan arrives. That way, everything will be blamed on Qin Xuan, and the Yaochi Sacred Land will slice him into a thousand pieces!"

"You... you aren't Qin Xuan!" Before she died, Qing Ning questioned with a look of shock, "Who on earth are you?!"

Qin Xuan put on a human skin mask customized by Leng Li. Sporting Ye Feng's face, he looked at Qing Ning in the pool of blood with a cruel grin. "For the sake of us being from the same sect, I will let you die with understanding."

"Junior Sister Qing Ning, to kill Qin Xuan, I had no choice but to use your identity. I will always remember everything you have done in my heart."

Qing Ning was terrified, a chilling cold sweeping through her entire body as she cried out in unbelievable grief, "Ye Feng..."

Pfft!

Qing Ning's final call before death was mercilessly cut short by the heavenly desolation halberd.

The High Grade Sacred Artifact pierced through her once more, severing the last remaining trace of Qing Ning's life force.
