49: Chapter 49 A woman with a different style? Who cares, just kill her whole family!

"Damn!"

Qin Muyuan twisted his waist, stabilizing his spinning top-like posture in mid-air, and plunged his feet hard into the ground.

He was dragged for dozens of feet before he managed to control his posture and stop the rolling momentum.

"Ptui!"

He spat out a mouthful of dust, raised his gaze, and looked at the person who had ambushed him.

He saw that she was a woman with enchanting eyes, an otherworldly temperament, and dressed in a cyan Taoist robe.

She looked like she didn't belong to the same art style as anyone Qin Muyuan had seen before.

However... Qin Muyuan didn't care whether she was in the same art style or not!

"You launch an ambush right when I open my status panel, are you a disciple of Old Thief Miyazaki?!"

Qin Muyuan spat out another mouthful of dust, flicked his wrist, and the pure nail he had just put away instantly reappeared in his hand as he stared at the woman.

"This humble one, Yushui, greets Young Master Qin."

Facing Qin Muyuan's gaze, Fairy Yushui acted as if she hadn't noticed. She placed her hands in front of her, slightly performed a woman's bow, and said,

"Young Master Qin truly lives up to being a Martial Artist capable of producing blood fiend qi."

"Your perception is actually this keen, able to react even to my sudden attack."

"Young Master Qin's Martial Dao talent can be called the highest I have ever seen..."

"My foot!"

Qin Muyuan sank his waist, and a surging, boundless force suddenly exploded, converging into his legs.

Wind-Riding Step: Void-Breaking Style!

After incorporating the Martial Dao Realm of the Wind-Treading Step, Qin Muyuan was still able to execute that Void-Breaking Style.

He didn't care at all why the woman in front of him had a different art style, nor did he want to pay any attention to this woman's rambling.

To Qin Muyuan—since she dared to ambush him, he had made up his mind to kill this woman's entire family!

The floor beneath Qin Muyuan's feet instantly shattered, and his entire body transformed into a blood-red light, shooting out like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, he had killed his way in front of Fairy Yushui!

Accompanied by the eruption of his full-body force and blood qi, a scarlet sword radiance condensed atop the pure nail.

Since he had already obtained [Killing Intent Application] from the quest reward.

Therefore, the might of this sword radiance was even more ferocious than when he fought Grand Master Lin Jiuye earlier!

Hum—

The sword radiance slashed across mid-air, tearing the surrounding air apart and aiming straight for Fairy Yushui's neck!

When Qin Muyuan made a move, it was a fatal strike!

However.

Facing Qin Muyuan's move of throwing a full-power attack right off the bat, beneath the thin gauze covering Fairy Yushui's face, there was not a single trace of emotional fluctuation.

She merely gently raised a slender, jade-like finger joint and slowly blocked it in front of her.

Qin Muyuan's full-power sword strike slashed toward Fairy Yushui as if it had sunk into a quagmire.

He only felt an immense sense of obstruction coming from the blade edge, and no matter how he burst forth with his force once again, it was like a clay ox entering the sea, instantly dissipating!

Qin Muyuan's gaze flashed, his pupils rapidly expanding.

He saw that between the blade edge of his pure nail and this woman with a different art style,

there was separated by a faint yet sturdy "airflow" resembling a city wall.

It was precisely this airflow that blocked his full-power strike.

Causing his incomparably sharp blood radiance—which could effortlessly slice open Grand Master Lin Jiuye's Physical Body—to be halted in its tracks!

"There is this kind of power?"

With one sword strike failing, Qin Muyuan didn't hesitate. His force erupted once again, and he fiercely slashed another sword strike toward Fairy Yushui.

"Qinghe Decree."

Fairy Yushui spat softly, a wisp of spiritual power lingering around her fingertips, and poked at the pure nail slashed out by Qin Muyuan.

Clang!

A crisp collision sound violently exploded, causing the surrounding air to tremble and forming a tangible shockwave.

The shockwave rapidly spread to the surroundings, shattering the already ruined Baiyun Teahouse once again.

Amidst this impact, Qin Muyuan was sent flying backwards once more.

However, compared to the last time he was ambushed by Fairy Yushui,

this time he controlled his posture exceptionally well, retreating only three zhang away before stopping the backward momentum.

Seeing this, Fairy Yushui's eyebrows slightly twitched:

"Young Master Qin's Martial Dao talent is truly powerful."

"This time, facing my attack, you actually only retreated such a short distance."

"Fortunately, this humble one sensed that something was amiss in advance."

"Otherwise, after a... no, after a little more time, Young Master Qin might truly be able to fight this humble one."

After witnessing the scene of Qin Muyuan breaking through on the spot, a sense of crisis finally rose in Yushui's heart.

Previously, she didn't care about Qin Muyuan at all because the gap in Realms was immense.

Even a first-class Martial Artist had a difference as vast as heaven and earth compared to her, a Qi-Refining Immortal Cultivator.

But when Qin Muyuan completed his Realm-breaking and reached the Martial Master Realm, there was only one major Realm interval left between him and the Qi-Refining Immortal Cultivator!

A major Realm interval—normally speaking, she would still steadily win, because for ordinary people to improve by a major Realm, it would take several years to say the least.

But for Qin Muyuan...

When she truly took Qin Muyuan seriously and realized Qin Muyuan's monster-like promotion speed, Yushui quickly made a decision:

She could no longer let Qin Muyuan continue to grow!

She must take advantage of the time before he grew up, and directly use the Realm of a Qi-Refining Immortal Cultivator to slay Qin Muyuan, who was still a Martial Master!

"Huh?" Qin Muyuan's face twitched upon hearing this.

Judging by the meaning of this woman named Yushui in front of him, she had been following him from a long time ago?

Starting from when?

He actually hadn't noticed at all.

"Whatever, screw whether she follows or not!"

Qin Muyuan's super wisdom was just about to take some action, but was directly stopped by super strength.

Super strength told Qin Muyuan that he didn't need to know when Yushui had started following him.

He only needed to know—

Since she dared to make a move against him, he would fiercely counterattack and slaughter her!

"Strength, it should be considered a regional big BOSS level..."

Qin Muyuan thought in his heart.

The sword strike he had slashed toward Yushui earlier was directly blocked by that airflow.

And from his current observations, Qin Muyuan could discover that Yushui was shrouded in a faint layer of airflow at all times.

"Therefore, it should be all-round defense with not a single flaw."

The [Essential Master] talent bestowed Qin Muyuan with extremely strong combat insight capabilities.

Through his insight, he quickly learned the function of that airflow—mitigating received damage.

Before breaking that layer of airflow, it should be impossible to harm Yushui's Physical Body...

"This is Spiritual Qi."

However, before Qin Muyuan could continue analyzing and gaining insights, Yushui said directly:

"Young Master Qin is located in such a backwater place, naturally you do not know the difference between Immortal Cultivators and Martial Cultivators out here in the Southern Wilderness."

"Immortal Cultivators borrow Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, gather the spiritual mechanisms of the world, and transform them into their own spiritual power, thereby casting Spells and performing the ability to overturn rivers and seas."

"The qinghe spiritual qi shrouding my body can protect me and fend off all external attacks..."

"Did it really fend them off?" Qin Muyuan sneered coldly, directly cutting in:

"If it really fended them off, why did you still have to raise your finger and gather the airflow onto your fingertip when I slashed at you just now?"

"Isn't it because even if it can fend it off, it can only fend off a portion and cannot completely avoid damage?"

"Putting leeks in your nose to pretend to be an elephant, what kind of pretentious act are you pulling?"

Simple mouth-foulness, ultimate enjoyment.

And interrupted by Qin Muyuan like this, Yushui's airs of a city dweller looking down on a country bumpkin, and a higher cultivator looking down on a lower cultivator, instantly stagnated.

The smile on her face also froze along with it, and her expression immediately turned gloomy:

"It seems... you really want to be directly torn to pieces by me!"
