11: Chapter 11: Downward Critical Strike, Double Damage, Really High!

Squire Chens Residence.

Qin Muyuan rushed in holding the pure nail, scanning left and right.

After entering, there was a corridor, with both sides of the corridor connecting to different places.

On the left was a courtyard, and on the right were several side rooms.

Within the field of vision, the direction guided by the quest's blue arrow was within the courtyard on the left.

Qin Muyuan did not hesitate and immediately walked towards the left courtyard.

"Halt! Who dares to barge into the squire's residence!"

Having barely taken two steps, a team of guards rushed out from the left courtyard.

The guard team had seven or eight people, all holding long staves made of green wood, staring fiercely with Evil Qi at the trespassing Qin Muyuan.

Qin Muyuan's [Killing Intent Perception] activated on its own, and within his perception, aside from this team of guards...

There were also two gazes carrying Killing Intent, staring fixedly at him from a corner of the left courtyard.

And these two gazes carrying Killing Intent were even heavier than the total Killing Intent of this team of guards.

"Want to kill me? Then I'll kill you first!"

Daring to generate Killing Intent against him, Qin Muyuan would definitely strike back heavily!

Holding the pure nail and stepping with the Wind-Treading Step, he flashed into the crowd of guards.

These guards couldn't even be considered martial artists; they were just slightly stronger ordinary people.

When Qin Muyuan executed the Wind-Treading Step, their vision couldn't even capture a shred of his figure.

They only felt an afterimage flash past in their peripheral vision, and the next moment, intense pain came from their chests, and a line of blood split open across their chests.

Puchi!

In the blink of an eye, the two guards who were approached by Qin Muyuan had their chests wide open, blood spraying from their chests as they collapsed to the ground.

Meanwhile, Qin Muyuan's mood value on his panel, which had previously dropped to 60, quietly rose back to 70 at this moment.

The blood Qi emitted by the fallen guards was absorbed by Qin Muyuan, which in turn plated a layer of blood-colored light over his Physical Body, increasing his Physical Body strength by another 37.5% or so!

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Feeling the power erupting within his body, Qin Muyuan grinned and slaughtered toward the remaining guards like a demon god.

In a short moment, all eight guards were slain by the pure nail.

Afterwards, Qin Muyuan cast his gaze toward a certain corner of the courtyard:

"You've been watching the show for so long, it's time to come out, right?"

The courtyard fell silent for a moment, and then two figures walked out from the turn of the courtyard corner.

A man and a woman, both dressed in black, with three blood-like red ink marks hanging across their cheeks.

In their hands, they also held short-handled weapons resembling eagle talons.

"Black Tiger Gang?!"

Behind Qin Muyuan, Xiao Chang followed into the courtyard, looked at this man and woman, and immediately shouted out their origins.

He leaned close to Qin Muyuan's side and lowered his voice to remind: "Brother Qin, be careful, they are people from the black Dao Gang, the Black Tiger Gang!"

"The Black Tiger Gang has operated year-round in the border area between Xiaoshan Country and Huoyun Country. Its leader Wang Heihu has martial arts reaching the second-rate realm, and he is currently jointly wanted by both countries."

"The auras of these two are deep and heavy, definitely not ordinary Gang members; they are likely figures at the hall master level!"

"Hall master?" Qin Muyuan understood after hearing Xiao Chang's explanation: "So they're elite monsters."

Seeing Xiao Chang reveal their identity, the two looked at each other, a trace of arrogance flashing across their Faces.

Among them, the man stepped forward half a step, slightly raised the eagle talon short blade in his hand, and said coldly:

"Brother, being fellow black Dao Gangs, you forcefully barged into our Gang's hall, aren't you going to give an explanation?"

Black Dao Gang?

Qin Muyuan immediately looked at Xiao Chang: "Is your Xiao Family a black Dao Gang?"

"?" Xiao Chang widened his eyes, looked at Qin Muyuan surrounded by a full body of blood Qi, opened his mouth wide, and took a good while to brew his words:

"Brother Qin, I feel... the black Dao Gang he mentioned refers to you..."

"Me? How is that possible, I am a thoroughly good person."

Qin Muyuan followed Xiao Chang's gaze to look at the blood Qi lingering around his body, then dismissed it carelessly and said:

"As long as your Xiao Family doesn't know them, that's fine."

After all, the Xiao Family had sent him quite a few things. If they knew each other, he would still be willing to give the Xiao Family Face and leave them with two arms.

But if they didn't know each other...

"Elite monster, prepare to die!"

Qin Muyuan stomped heavily with both legs, his figure shooting out like an arrow leaving the string, instantly slaughtering toward the two members of the Black Tiger Gang.

The two didn't expect Qin Muyuan to attack as soon as he spoke, with absolutely no warning at all.

But both of them were extremely confident in their own skills. Seeing Qin Muyuan pressing forward, they all sneered repeatedly: "Daring to take the initiative to attack us, you're courting death!"

The man dismissed it disdainfully, holding the eagle talons and quickly meeting him head-on.

"Falling Thunder Swordsmanship!"

Qin Muyuan wielded the pure nail to slaughter right up to the man's front, executing Falling Thunder Swordsmanship.

The pure nail stirred up the sound of wind and thunder, like lightning descending from the sky, fiercely slashing toward the Black Tiger Gang man.

The Black Tiger Gang man burst forth with the physical strength within his body, gripping the eagle talons to block against that triangular, oddly-shaped sword body—

Clang!

The sound of metal intertwining rang out, and the Black Tiger Gang man's originally confident expression suddenly changed.

The power transmitted from the eagle talons far exceeded his expectations!

That didn't look like power a human could slash out at all, but rather felt like a giant elephant weighing over ten thousand catties gathering its full-body strength and fiercely kicking out a foot!

The eagle talons in the Black Tiger Gang man's hand were abruptly severed under the terrifying giant force, unable to even block that triangular sharp sword.

The pure nail's momentum did not decrease, slashing down like a flash of lightning, straight through the eagle talons and splitting open the Black Tiger Gang man's arms.

Then smashing down from top to bottom, it forcibly slashed into the skull of the Black Tiger Gang man.

Bang!

The skull shattered, brain matter splashing everywhere!

The Black Tiger Gang man was directly hacked to death by Qin Muyuan with a single sword strike right at the start of their exchange!

"Downward Slash Critical Hit, Double Damage is Truly High!"

Finishing off an elite monster with a single strike, this is the true essence of a Musou mowing game!

Qin Muyuan's body was stained with blood as he turned his head to look at the Black Tiger Gang woman not far away.

At this moment, the sneer on the woman's Face had completely frozen, just like a bullied female student whose time was stopped in an adult movie.

The next second, feeling Qin Muyuan's gaze, her expression instantly turned into sheer terror:

"Wait, brother! Let's talk things out..."

"With your kind of strength, you don't deserve to talk things out with me; I don't want to listen."

Qin Muyuan couldn't be bothered to listen and directly interrupted.

His figure flashed again, stepping with the Wind-Treading Step, heading straight to slaughter the Black Tiger Gang woman.

"I am the woman of Wang Heihu from the Black Tiger Gang; if you kill me, you will die too!"

Seeing that Qin Muyuan didn't give her any chance to talk properly at all, the woman screamed repeatedly, trying to pull out the reputation of Black Tiger Gang leader Wang Heihu to make Qin Muyuan back off.

But to Qin Muyuan—

"What Wang Heihu or Wang Baihu, once I complete this quest, I'll go crusade against your Black Tiger Gang boss!"

A mob dares to threaten him and affect his mood value? Then he would raid the Black Tiger Gang's lair right after this, letting that Wang Heihu know what the power of the Fourth Calamity was!

Qin Muyuan quickly pressed close with the Wind-Treading Step, smashing the pure nail down from the sky toward the Black Tiger Gang woman.

"Falling Thunder Swordsmanship!"

The sound of wind and thunder resounded in her ears, the Black Tiger Gang woman's pupils shrank sharply as she gripped her eagle talons attempting to resist.

But the next moment, the terrifying giant force crashed down, smashing through all of the Black Tiger Gang woman's resistance!

The pure nail triggered the critical hit effect once more, slapping the Black Tiger Gang woman to death on the spot with a single sword strike!
