"Hmm?"
Hearing the roar, Qin Jian narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Whoosh..."
The next moment, a colossal figure rushed over from afar.
In the blink of an eye,
it crossed over a hundred zhang and appeared before the Zhanbu members. It was Xiao Huzizi, who Bai Zihe had subdued in the Life and Death Path.
"Roar..."
Xiao Huzizi looked at Qin Jian, its eyes full of anger.
One could also see...
a hint of apprehension!
Qin Jian gave it the same feeling as Bai Zihe back then.
However.
Xiao Huzizi had its pride.
Having acknowledged Bai Zihe as its master, it would not easily abandon its post.
"A mere Yuan Dan realm beast..."
Qin Jian released his divine sense to probe Xiao Huzizi's strength, a disdainful smile flashed across his face: "You can still leave now."
"Otherwise..."
"I'm afraid I'll be drinking a pot of tiger bone soup tonight!"
After saying that.
Qin Jian burst into laughter.
Clearly, he did not take Xiao Huzizi seriously at all.
"You, you..."
Xiao Huzizi was so angry that it spat out human words: "Seek, seek... death!"
This appearance...
this voice...
Qin Jian was not only unafraid, but he also felt like laughing.
"Swish!"
However, laughter was laughter.
Qin Jian did not forget the main reason for his visit.
He waved his long sword and prepared to attack Qian Yuanshan, Dongfang Tuo, and the other masters of the Zhanbu again.
"Swish!"
At this moment...
With the delay caused by Xiao Huzizi's appearance.
Qian Yuanshan and Dongfang Tuo and the others had already set up their formation.
"Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe... Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing!"
They had formed a mystical formation, surrounding Qin Jian within it, each of them chanting.
"Tricks of a child, dare to..."
Qin Jian was dismissive and scoffed.
In his opinion...
Qian Yuanshan and the others before him were at most at the peak of the Great Grandmaster realm. Even if they formed a formation, they couldn't do anything to him, a Nascent Soul realm expert!
"Swish!"
While speaking, Qin Jian leaped into the air.
He instantly transformed into a beam of light and charged towards the nearest Zhanbu expert.
"Rumble..."
The outburst of a Nascent Soul realm expert was incredibly powerful.
As soon as he made a move.
A strong wind raged, sweeping through the area where the Zhanbu was.
Then, sand and dust attacked, whistling and howling, stinging people's faces and making it almost impossible to open their eyes.
"Whoosh..."
Ten zhang of distance was covered in the blink of an eye.
Qin Jian had already reached the elder.
"Clang..."
The elder, unafraid of danger, immediately thrust out his sword.
"Seeking death!"
Qin Jian was instantly enraged.
A mere Great Grandmaster dared to draw his sword against him!
This was provocation!
This was contempt!
This was disrespect to him, a Nascent Soul realm expert.
"Whoosh..."
The Autumn Water Sword in his hand moved even faster, its radiance incredibly brilliant, clearly imbued with a formidable amount of true essence.
"Die!"
Seeing the opponent within close proximity, Qin Jian could not help but let out a roar, a sinister smile playing on his lips.
It was as if...
he could already see the beautiful scene of the elder's sword being severed with one strike, his head being split open, and his brains splattering.
"Ding!"
The next moment, the two swords clashed in mid-air, emitting a clear hum.
Qin Jian's expression changed drastically.
The smile on his face froze instantly.
The elder...
not only blocked his attack.
But a powerful force also emanated from his sword, making Qin Jian's entire arm numb and trembling!
"This is..."
Qin Jian was repelled, and a terrifying light erupted in his eyes.
This formation...
actually allowed over a dozen Great Grandmasters to possess the strength to contend with him, a Nascent Soul realm expert. It was truly extraordinary.
"You can still retreat now."
Qian Yuanshan looked at Qin Jian with impassive eyes, devoid of any warmth.
"Retreat?"
Qin Jian felt as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
He scanned the Zhanbu higher-ups present, his face full of disdain and contempt: "You think... blocking one of my strikes gives you the power to contend with me?"
"Ignorant!"
"Shallow!"
"Foolish!"
After cursing them three times, Qin Jian said with a cold smile: "The reason why the Nascent Soul realm is called the Nascent Soul realm is because there is a nascent soul within the dantian, which has its own unique uses."
"With you lot..."
"Even if you trained for another twenty years, you wouldn't be worthy of being my opponent!"
As his voice fell.
He vanished from his original spot.
Without a trace!
Without a clue.
Qian Yuanshan and the others immediately became vigilant.
"I'm here..."
The next moment, a voice was heard.
However, when Qian Yuanshan and the others tried to locate him, they found that the voice was coming from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint.
"Swish!"
Just as everyone was in confusion.
A sword light suddenly appeared behind the elder.
"Not good!"
"Eighth Elder, be careful!"
"Old Eight, he's behind you!"
The elders were all shocked and immediately cried out a warning.
"Swish!"
Without hesitation, the Eighth Elder immediately struck out behind him.
"Hahaha..."
"Wrong."
"Completely wrong!"
Just then, a disdainful voice came from in front of him.
It was Qin Jian.
This fellow had used the speed granted by his Nascent Soul realm to feint, playing the Eighth Elder like a fool.
Then...
while the elder was disoriented, he struck suddenly.
"Chih!"
With a dull thud, Qin Jian's Autumn Water Sword pierced through the Eighth Elder's heart.
Instantly, blood gushed out of the Eighth Elder profusely.
"Uh, I..."
A look of terror flashed in the Eighth Elder's eyes, blood also spilled from his lips, and he then fell to the ground, lifeless.
"Is that all?"
Qin Jian couldn't help but laugh.
"Aaaah..."
"Old Eight, I..."
"You deserve to die!"
The death of the Eighth Elder instantly enraged Dongfang Tuo and the others.
They all attacked Qin Jian recklessly.
However...
Anger does not make people stronger, it only makes them lose their minds and do extremely foolish things.
Like now.
"Since you all wish to die..."
With the formation broken, Qin Jian found it much easier to deal with everyone, and his killing intent grew stronger.
"Heaven-Breaking Style!"
"Plum Blossom on the Road!"
Sword lights rained down.
The Zhanbu elders were instantly wounded.
Some, unable to dodge in time, had an arm severed on the spot.
Qian Yuanshan tried to rescue them.
But he was sent flying by the sharp sword qi.
If not for the precious sword he held, he would have been killed on the spot with his sword shattered.
"Swish!"
The next moment, Qin Jian strode forward and appeared before Qian Yuanshan.
The Autumn Water Sword in his hand exuded a chilling killing intent and was pressed against Qian Yuanshan's neck: "Surrender, or die!"
Qian Yuanshan looked at him coldly and said resolutely: "Our Zhanbu..."
"Is the Zhanbu of Great Xia, we will never be human puppets, nor will we become your pawns. Give up!"
"Seeking death!"
Qin Jian was instantly enraged.
He immediately thrust his sword down, preparing to lop off Qian Yuanshan's head.
"Ding!"
Just then, a long sword appeared in the sky, easily deflecting Qin Jian's sword.
At the same time.
A figure suddenly appeared beside him.
Clad in white, unstained by any dust.
It was Bai Zihe.
