Chapter 118

Brother, I hope you die in this secret realm this time, and then I will inherit the position of heir apparent! Your fiancée, Nangong Bai Xue, I will take care of her.

Just thinking of Nangong Bai Xue's delicate, fair complexion made his heart flutter.

And it is even the Taiyin Elemental Body!

Over these years, he has been keeping a low profile and concealing his cultivation; moreover, fearing that Qin Xiao might secretly kill him, he has been practicing defensive arts.

Sigh...

Qin Wang sighed in his heart.

If my brother doesn't die, I cannot establish myself in the ancient Qin clan!

At that moment, this ancient bronze spirit vessel turned into a meteor and, at extreme speed, shot toward the direction of the imperial palace where Liu Xuan was.

Liu Xuan's beautiful eyes slightly narrowed; she directly stepped into the air, her long dress fluttering, her charming, exquisite figure tracing a perfect curve, black hair falling, her slender jade legs swaying as she extended her divine sense to look toward the not‑far distance.

There, violent aura surged; an ancient spirit vessel crossed the void, and wherever it passed, it parted clouds to reveal the sun, its momentum overwhelming.

Boom boom boom!

The sound of breaking space came like thunder, echoing through the void.

From the ancient spirit vessel came a roar: 'Liu Xuan, you are indeed here!'

In an instant, Qin Xiao stomped hard on the spirit vessel, leapt into the air, terrifying divine radiance surging over him as he launched a crushing attack toward Liu Xuan.

His terrifying, peerless aura surged; wherever he went, a storm condensed, divine rainbows towering beneath his feet, his visage ferocious—each step he took intensified his aura.

How dare you insult my fiancée Bai Xue—die!

Liu Xuan's face turned icy; she raised her slender jade hand, signaling the several Zhuan Chuan Di Zi to retreat, then she herself rushed straight at Qin Xiao.

Beneath her jade feet, brilliant petals rose; her figure was graceful, her long dress flowing with radiant divine radiance, Liu Xuan's long jade legs stepped out, her curves captivating, her face showing no fear as she unleashed her strongest soul technique attack.

Sizzle!

A variegated light burst forth, forming a huge net of five-colored brilliance that sparkled like the stars scattered across the sky, directly enveloping Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao snorted coldly, power surging through him as he directly unleashed a palm strike at Liu Xuan.

Not far away, the ancient spirit vessel hovered Above the Void, and the disciples of the ancient Qin clan and the Supreme Profound Sect all turned their gaze to the battle.

Qin Wang frowned slightly, licked his lips, and whispered, 'The Liu Xuan of the Great Dao Sect also has a unique charm, alluring and moving, her peerless beauty even surpassing Nangong Bai Xue; why must my brother fight to the death? It would be better to become dao companions. Or, hand her over to me to cherish.'

Boom!

Qin Xiao's palm descended like a palm print that blotted out the sky, carrying overwhelming force; terrifying power poured out, colliding with Liu Xuan's attack, and space erupted with overwhelming divine radiance.

Liu Xuan was directly blown back several dozen zhang!

Qin Xiao snorted coldly, 'If Luo Lingkong were here, he'd be worth my serious attention. You are far too weak!'

The sound fell!

Qin Xiao continued to unleash terrifying offensive power; in the void, spiritual energy surged like crashing waves and exploded.

After several dozen breaths, Liu Xuan gradually could not hold on, her long dress stained with blood, her aura growing feeble.

Seeing this, several Zhuan Chuan Di Zi leapt into the air, killing intent soaring, and directly went to meet Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao, do not dare harm my senior sister!

After just a few exchanges, several Zhuan Chuan Di Zi were knocked down from the void by Qin Xiao, severely injured!

Liu Xuan, die!

Qin Xiao snorted coldly and directly pressed his palm down upon Liu Xuan.

Just then.

Boom!

Not far away, a sword's cry rang through the void; sword light stretched a hundred thousand zhang, icy beyond compare, instantly turning into a long rainbow that slashed toward Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao abruptly turned and saw a youth in green robes flying on his sword.

The comer was none other than Luo Lingkong!

Behind Luo Lingkong were more than a dozen disciples of the Great Dao Sect.

Qin Xiao snorted coldly, 'Luo Lingkong, think it over—I intend to kill Liu Xuan; are you really going to stop me?'

Luo Lingkong's face was calm and breezy as he countered, 'Qin Xiao, do you want to witness my Instant Void Sword?'

You should know that the last time outside the secret realm, his sword intent was shattered by Ye Chen's martial dao furnace; his dao heart was not broken thereby, but rather he gained insight from Ye Chen's 'Myriad Laws Broken' phenomenon.

Now, his Instant Void Sword is stronger!

His life‑and‑death sword intent has reached a higher level!

Moreover, during this time in the secret realm, he has already entered the fourth layer of the Profound Venerable Realm!

He very much wants to know whether his present life‑and‑death sword intent can slay Qin Xiao!

For a moment, the two faced off in the void, battle intent soaring.

But Qin Xiao did not act immediately, for he also felt some apprehension toward Luo Lingkong's Instant Void Sword!

Luo Lingkong also did not act; he was waiting for Fang Yan and the others to descend!

His life‑and‑death sword might possibly kill Qin Xiao, but behind Qin Xiao on the ancient spirit vessel are still dozens of disciples from the ancient Qin clan, the Supreme Profound Sect, and the Heavenly Blade Sect.

You should know that after unleashing the life‑and‑death sword, he will fall into a weakened state, making the overall situation unfavorable for our Great Dao Sect!

The enemy is many, we are few!

Luo Lingkong gazed toward that ancient spirit vessel; fortunately, he did not see any other divine son candidates of the Supreme Profound Sect aboard.

Even so, if a melee broke out, the enemy would have seventy or eighty disciples against our Great Dao Sect's twenty‑odd.

The advantage is not on our side!

Just then.

Qin Xiao's divine sense swept across this heaven and earth, quickly discovering the underground palace hidden within the lay of the land.

The corner of his mouth twitched upward: 'Excellent! Excellent! No wonder Liu Xuan you stayed here—this is actually the inheritance ground of the Martial Dao Great Emperor, and moreover, that thread of Dao resonance from the Bronze Ancient Hall has fallen into this underground palace.'

Upon hearing this, the faces of many Grand Dao Sect disciples changed.

Qin Xiao also discovered the Martial Emperor's Mausoleum!

Not far away, in a hidden spot, Chen Zhangsheng watched everything in the arena with great interest.

He muttered, "Liu Xuan is already seriously injured and unable to fight. The Grand Dao Sect disciples are clearly outnumbered; now that the Martial Emperor's Mausoleum has been discovered by Qin Xiao, a chaotic battle is likely to break out!"

The voice fell!

Qin Xiao said coldly, "Luo Lingkong, the ultimate inheritance has appeared! I give the Grand Dao Sect a choice: within ten breaths, leave Liu Xuan behind and let the others go, or else all of you stay here! Ten, nine, eight..."

Before he finished speaking, a rough voice sounded from the depths of the Void.

"Qin Xiao, you brat, your grandfather Fang Yan has arrived!"

An Ancient Spirit Shuttle shot forth, drawing a streak of light across the Above the Void.

Fang Yan's blood and qi surged like the sea, a golden glow layered over his body, making him look as firm as a rock; Fang Yan stood upon the Spirit Shuttle, his aura overwhelming, he stepped into the void and surged forward to bombard Qin Xiao.

"Boom!"

As if lifting mountains, the Void trembled incessantly.

Seeing this, Qin Xiao's face turned grim: "Luo Lingkong, is this the Grand Dao Sect's decision—do you want to fight?"

Luo Lingkong stepped forward and said, "If you want war, then war it is!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao laughed to the sky, flicked his sleeve, and on the Ancient Spirit Vessel behind him, disciples of the Ancient Qin Clan, Heavenly Blade Sect, and Supreme Profound Sect all rushed out.

A disciple shouted, "Avenge our fallen brothers and sisters of the Grand Dao Sect! Kill!"

The younger generation of the Ancient Qin Clan all wore ferocious expressions, their killing intent soaring: "Kill!"

Qin Wang slowly retreated to the depths of the Ancient Spirit Vessel, having made his preparations.

If Qin Xiao wins, he will go down to congratulate.

If Qin Xiao loses, he will directly activate the Ancient Spirit Vessel to flee!

For a moment, above the Void, divine radiance billowed; terrifying spiritual power surged like a mountain's shout and a sea's roar, its tremendous might rending the heavens.

The two forces began a fierce battle!

Fang Yan punched, exploding a Heavenly Blade Sect disciple's head, blood spraying.

He roared, "You will lose!"

On the other side, Liu Xuan took a Healing Pill, stepped on radiant petals, rose into the void, and forcefully joined the battle; her slender jade hand extended, a brilliant light enveloping an Ancient Qin Clan disciple.

Liu Xuan's voice was alluring, like a decadent melody: "Destroy yourself."

That disciple's eyes instantly glazed; his hand clamped his own throat, twisting his neck until it snapped, blood spraying across the sky as he died outright.

Likewise, Grand Dao Sect disciples were also beaten to death in a gang attack!

Corpses continually fell from the sky!

Above the Void, Luo Lingkong battled Qin Xiao.

"Instant Space Sword!"

Luo Lingkong directly unleashed Life-and-Death Sword Intent, striking with a single sword.

"Swish!"

This sword, life and death regarded lightly!

This sword, giving everything!

Qin Xiao's face showed an unprecedented solemnity as he directly invoked the power of the Supreme Classic.

The Supreme Classic is centered on slaughter and conquest!

In an instant, radiant light surged across Qin Xiao's body; the ultimate slaughtering power peaked instantly, and he shifted his form to smash against that sword qi.

He forcibly clashed with the Instant Space Sword!

"Boom!"

The terrifying ripple spread like a tide between heaven and earth; Luo Lingkong's sword qi shattered, while Qin Xiao was merely blasted back hundreds of zhang, blood spurting from his body.

Luo Lingkong blinked, his Life-and-Death Sword struck, but Qin Xiao did not die!!

Yet after delivering that Life-and-Death Sword, he was utterly weakened, unable to fight again for a short time!

Qin Xiao revealed a hint of a wicked smile: "Luo Lingkong, you lost; you are already unable to fight again!"

Saying that, he was about to slay Luo Lingkong!

Amidst lightning and volcanic fire, Fang Yan stepped into the void and roared.

"As firm as a rock!"

A brilliant spiritual power shield condensed; Fang Yan brought Luo Lingkong and fled at once.

Seeing this, Liu Xuan's lips turned pale, the radiant petals beneath her feet scattered, and her dim voice called out, "Retreat!"

For a moment, Grand Dao Sect disciples retreated step by step.

Fang Yan and several Body Tempering Peak disciples covered everyone's retreat, their bodies continually bleeding.

They were directly forced toward the Martial Emperor's Mausoleum.

Qin Xiao suddenly spat blood, his face pallid, secretly thinking that that sword qi had indeed wounded him severely!

He ordered everyone to seal off the surrounding heaven and earth, trapping the Grand Dao Sect disciples, while he sat cross‑legged, took a Healing Pill, and recovered on the spot.

Now the Grand Dao Sect's people—dead are dead, wounded are wounded—no longer pose a threat to them!

Qin Xiao had someone retrieve a Transmission Jade Slip from the corpses of Grand Dao Sect disciples, then began sending a sound transmission to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, Liu Xuan, Luo Lingkong are in my hands. Find me within three days, or I will kill them all!"

……

At this moment, Ye Chen stepped out from a ruined cave dwelling.

These past days, he had gained much in this secret realm, and his cultivation had entered the second layer of the Profound Venerable Realm!

Suddenly, the Transmission Jade Slip in his bosom trembled slightly.

Ye Chen blinked slightly, "Could it be Senior Sister Liu Xuan and the others?"

His divine sense probed in, and he immediately heard Qin Xiao's voice.

"Ye Chen, Liu Xuan, Luo Lingkong and the others are in my hands. Within three days, find me, or I will slaughter them all."

In an instant, killing intent surged on his face; he snarled, "Qin Xiao, if you dare harm them a single hair, I will bury you all with them!"

From the sound-transmitting jade slip came Qin Xiao's astonished voice: "Huh? Ye Chen! Great! Great! It seems you are not far from me. In that case, I give you one day! If you flee, they die! If you are late, they die!"

"I have already shot a spirit rune light pillar into the void; don't tell me you can't find me... I'm waiting for you!"

The voice faded, and the jade slip fell silent.

Ye Chen's body froze in place; his expression at this moment was ferociously terrifying.

He clenched his fists, a scorching aura surged on his body; the whole person was like a towering furnace, martial will surged like raging fire, and the surrounding spiritual energy surged like boiling water.

He was furious!

"Qin Xiao, you are doomed!"

Ye Chen growled low, his eyes about to split, bloodshot.

He directly sacrificed a spirit boat, shooting toward the distance.

Half a day later.

Ye Chen saw that heaven-piercing spirit rune light pillar inserted into the void among a mountain range.

He clenched his fists and snarled, "There!"

Ye Chen's heart felt urgent, like a hundred thousand flames burning.

The spirit boat, under his frenzied drive, had reached its limit; Ye Chen, like a madman, rushed toward that spirit rune light pillar.

He roared, "Qin Xiao, come out and die!"
