729: Chapter 729 Jin Xuan's Shock!!

A sharp light flashed in his eyes.

He realized that the two of them only had the Aura of the Rank 6 Peak, which was a minor Realm lower than those Half-step Grandmasters.

The two of them looked weak and isolated, hardly seeming capable of standing against more than a dozen Half-step Grandmasters.

But his mind spun rapidly, and in an instant, he had an idea.

Immediately after, he took out a Storage Ring and threw it with all his might toward the direction of Qin Yan and Jiang Li.

The Storage Ring drew an arc in the air and landed steadily in front of Qin Yan.

“Brother, the Legacy of Grandmaster Duanyue is in your hands! Take the Legacy and run, I'll draw them away!”

His voice carried a hint of resoluteness and a touch of solemn tragedy.

After saying that, Xiao He's vitality erupted all over his body, and he fled into the distance!

His figure turned into a stream of light, flying toward the depths of the Ruined Battlefield.

In the air, the gold-robed man leading them—Grandmaster Jinxuan—frowned slightly upon seeing this, but he did not panic too much.

He raised his hand and calmly ordered the two Half-step Grandmasters behind him, “You two, go chase that Xiao He. Make sure to kill him and plunder all his resources. Understood?”

“Yes, Young Lord!” The two Half-step Grandmasters cupped their fists in unison to accept the order. With a flash of their figures, they turned into two streams of light and gave chase in the direction Xiao He had fled.

After the two Half-step Grandmasters departed, Grandmaster Jinxuan slowly turned his head, his gaze falling upon Qin Yan and Jiang Li.

His gaze lingered on Jiang Li's tall and graceful figure for an exceptionally long few breaths, the corners of his mouth curving into a meaningful arc.

Then he raised his hand and waved it gently.

“Surround these two for me.”

As soon as he spoke, the remaining thirteen Half-step Grandmaster experts behind him moved in unison.

The thirteen figures scattered like well-trained soldiers, surrounding Qin Yan and Jiang Li tightly in the center in the blink of an eye.

Thirteen Auras of the Half-step Grandmaster level were released simultaneously, merging into a suffocating pressure that forced the surrounding dark-red dust to settle rustlingly.

Seeing this, Qin Yan and Jiang Li frowned slightly.

From the appearance of this group—flying from afar with aggressive Auras—to them cornering Xiao He, who spat blood and threw the Storage Ring over, to them surrounding the two of them—everything had happened very quickly.

Though it seemed like a long time, in reality, all of this had occurred within just a few short breaths.

At this moment, Qin Yan looked at the Storage Ring in front of him. Combining this with the words spoken just now—“Hand over the Legacy, and we can give you a quick death” and “Brother, the Legacy of Grandmaster Duanyue is in your hands”—he knew he had been set up by that guy named Xiao He.

Xiao He hadn't thrown the Storage Ring to him to entrust him with the Legacy, but to shift the trouble onto him.

Xiao He wanted to use him and Jiang Li as bait to distract this group so that he could seize the Opportunity to escape.

What a clever trick of shifting trouble onto others.

Qin Yan suppressed the annoyance in his heart, looked at the surrounding group, and said, “This is all a misunderstanding. I don't know that Xiao He. I'll give this Storage Ring to you, and we can go our separate ways, alright?”

Seeing this, Grandmaster Jinxuan's lips curled into a mocking arc, completely ignoring Qin Yan's words.

Grandmaster Jinxuan's gaze swept over Qin Yan and Jiang Li, a trace of greed flashing in his eyes.

Then, he spoke, “Kill the man for me, and leave the woman.”

These two only had the strength of the Rank 6 Peak; they were nothing to fear!

As for the man, killing him was no big deal.

As for the woman—Grandmaster Jinxuan's gaze fell upon Jiang Li, and a flash of amazement crossed his eyes.

That woman was simply too beautiful.

Dressed in a white robe, she was tall and voluptuous, with exquisite curves, long legs, and a slender waist.

Her long hair was tied up high in a neat ponytail. Her body exuded a heroic and valiant Aura, along with a faint trace of nobility—this was not forced, but something bred into her bones from growing up in a privileged environment since childhood.

Such a temperament was something even the most outstanding princesses of their Guhen Kingdom did not possess!

This woman was even more attractive than a princess.

He craved her intensely!

“Yes, Young Lord!”

As soon as the words fell, the group beside him launched their attacks toward Qin Yan and Jiang Li!

Thirteen Half-step Grandmasters attacked simultaneously!

They either threw punches, struck with palms, used weapons, or channeled True Qi.

Multi-colored lights of True Qi intertwined in the night sky like brilliant fireworks, yet they contained deadly killing intent.

Violent vitality swept toward the two of them, tearing the air and producing sharp, explosive sounds.

In an instant, thirteen attacks struck simultaneously from all directions!

“You court death!”

Seeing this, Jiang Li's beautiful face turned cold, and a trace of killing intent flashed in her eyes.

Grandmaster Jinxuan's words, 'leave the woman,' had completely enraged her.

A golden light flashed in her hand, and a golden long spear instantly appeared in her grasp.

The long spear was entirely golden, with thousands of patterns flashing densely and in layers across the shaft.

Golden light flowed along the spear body like liquid gold, dazzling and eye-catching.

The spear tip was incredibly sharp, glinting with a cold light under the moonlight. Intricate runes were engraved on the shaft, emitting a faint pressure.

With nearly three thousand patterns, this long spear was a High Grade thousand-pattern spirit weapon close to three thousand patterns.

Jiang Li's Aura erupted all over her body, and a fierce Aura surged from within her, spreading outward like a violent storm.

The Aura she erupted with at this moment was not much weaker than that of the surrounding Half-step Grandmasters!

An Aura of the Rank 6 Peak that nearly rivaled a Half-step Grandmaster—this was not an advantage of Realm, but of Cultivation Technique, heritage, and Foundation.

In the high sky, Grandmaster Jinxuan's pupils suddenly contracted upon seeing the golden long spear in Jiang Li's hand and the powerful Aura erupting from her body!

A thousand-pattern spirit weapon! A thousand-pattern spirit weapon with nearly three thousand patterns!

As the direct son of the Jin Family's Clan Chief, he had enjoyed the full cultivation of his Family since childhood, with all kinds of resources piled up like mountains. Yet, even now, his natal spirit weapon only had a mere nine hundred patterns, and the thousand-pattern threshold was still far out of reach.

He knew better than anyone how difficult of a hurdle a thousand-pattern spirit weapon was to cross—it was not just a pile of Materials, but a comprehensive test of the Martial Artist's own heritage, the grade of their Cultivation Technique, and forging Opportunity. No matter how many Materials there were, whether a spirit weapon could cross that threshold remained an unknown.

Yet the woman before him, with a cultivation of only the Rank 6 Peak, actually possessed a spirit weapon with nearly three thousand patterns—this was no longer just a matter of resources, but a matter of status.
