59: Chapter 59 At this moment, are you joking?

"Arghhh—"

Having her arm severed, Zhao Miaonv let out a battle cry and stomped her feet wildly in sheer pain.

The floor tiles across the entire courtyard showed faint signs of cracking.

Watching this rampaging mountain of flesh, Qin Muyuan pulled out several copper coins from his waist and tossed them into the air.

Zzzt, zzzt.

Sparks flickered as electric currents surged across Qin Muyuan's fingertips—

Railgun!

Accelerated by the electrical current, the copper coins shot out like arrows loosed from a bow string.

With loud thuds of penetration, Zhao Miaonv's body was instantly pierced by the power of the Railgun, leaving gaping holes one after another.

However... she was surprisingly still not dead!

Even though several parts of her body were pierced through, her sheer volume of flesh was absurd.

In other words, her health bar was vastly larger than that of an ordinary person.

Thus, even though part of her flesh was blasted away by the Railgun, losing that flesh was merely akin to helping her lose a little weight; it couldn't make her bleed to death.

"Awoo!"

Seeing that she was still alive after that, even Wangcai, who had been following by Qin Muyuan's side, suddenly widened his eyes and involuntarily let out a surprised wolf howl.

As for Chen Shuang and Liang Jiujiu...

Especially Liang Jiujiu, who had been locked in the side room by Zhao Miaonv, turned deathly pale upon seeing this scene.

He felt immensely fortunate that he hadn't entertained thoughts of feigning submission to Zhao Miaonv while secretly launching a surprise attack.

Otherwise, even if Zhao Miaonv stood completely still and let him chop away, it would take him half a day to hack her to death!

"She can survive even that?"

Seeing this, Qin Muyuan was also slightly surprised.

With Zhao Miaonv's condition, if she were tossed onto the Emperor's Golden Throne, she might just be able to keep it burning single-handedly for a whole day!

However, being resilient was useless.

Because... she was far too unwieldy to run away!

Qin Muyuan channeled his strength once more, condensing thunderous power and blood-red fiendish sword light onto his bone nail.

The next second, he lowered his stance, pushed off forcefully, and leaped into the air. The bone nail turned into a streak of light, flashing past Zhao Miaonv's head in an instant.

Chi chi chi!

Blood mixed with fat spurted out like a fountain, in quantities far greater than that of a normal human.

With a loud boom, Zhao Miaonv's massive head crashed to the ground.

Her mountain-like body collapsed heavily as well, causing the courtyard floor to shake once more.

"Phew..."

Qin Muyuan exhaled slowly.

It had to be said that Zhao Miaonv was the most uncomfortable enemy he had ever fought against.

Not only was her defense extremely high, but every move she made was accompanied by mental attacks and biochemical attacks.

If one were accidentally hit, it would feel even worse than being slashed with blades and swords.

"Let's go. I'll see you out."

Having killed the mountain of flesh blocking the way, Qin Muyuan found a basin of water and a cloth to carefully wipe down his bone nail, then spoke to Chen Shuang and Liang Jiujiu.

On his mission panel, the quest requested by Chen Shuang was not yet completed.

This was likely because, although Chen Shuang and Liang Jiujiu had reunited, they had not safely evacuated yet.

Therefore, Qin Muyuan still needed to escort them out of the inner city district so they could safely escape.

Hearing Qin Muyuan's words, Chen Shuang and Liang Jiujiu felt deeply grateful.

Not daring to delay, they hurriedly followed behind Qin Muyuan, bypassing the corpse in the courtyard, and walked out of the Zhao Manor with him.

Along the way, all the guards in the Zhao Manor had already been scared out of their wits by Qin Muyuan's slaughter.

Even when they saw Qin Muyuan, none dared to step in his way, hiding away one after another.

Thus, Qin Muyuan led the two out of the Zhao Manor without encountering any obstruction.

"The culprit is here! Hurry!"

Just as they stepped out of the Zhao Manor, they heard a hurried shout.

Immediately after, a group of Huoyun City soldiers clad in heavy armor and wielding long spears rapidly converged in their direction.

At the same time, a figure darted swiftly like a rabbit and leaped like a falcon, crossing over several courtyard walls to quickly arrive before Qin Muyuan's group.

"Audacious criminal! How dare you cause trouble while I, Zhang Xueshan, am on duty! Die!"

The figure roared angrily, charging in close and channeling his strength to strike out with a powerful palm.

Against this palm strike, Qin Muyuan didn't even bother to dodge.

He remained standing where he was, erect like a pine, channeling strength throughout his whole body to take the palm strike head-on.

But in the next second, the situation changed abruptly!

It was clearly Zhang Xueshan who struck Qin Muyuan's chest with his palm.

Yet as a result, Zhang Xueshan himself suddenly shrieked in agony, flying backward like a kite with a broken string!

Blood dripped profusely from the palm of his right hand, and under the impact of a strange recoil force, his entire sleeve burst into pieces, scattering fragments everywhere.

By the time he crashed heavily onto the ground, his face was pale, a sweet taste rose in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Zhang Xueshan's eyes were filled with sheer terror and disbelief!

Why... when he was the one who initiated the attack... was he the one injured?!

"Zhang Xueshan?"

Qin Muyuan lightly flicked the dust off his rumpled clothes, looking at Zhang Xueshan unhurriedly.

Currently, his Rank had reached Lv10, and his [I Love Killing] talent provided him with a 650% boost to his Physical Body stats.

With this boost, his Physical Body was now completely immune to ordinary Sharp Weapons and the attacks of common Martial Artists.

Thus, the martial technique [Thorns Armor], which he had never used before, could finally be put to good use!

The reason Zhang Xueshan flew backward while Qin Muyuan did nothing was naturally due to the counterattack effect of this Thorns Armor.

Qin Muyuan looked down at Zhang Xueshan and asked calmly:

"Your name is Zhang Xueshan? What is your relationship with Zhang Xuefeng, the headmaster of the Blue Sky Martial Arts School?"

"Zhang Xuefeng is my younger brother. Does this distinguished hero know my brother?"

Zhang Xueshan's expression shifted rapidly several times before settling into a flattering demeanor, immediately squeezing out a sycophantic smile as he spoke to Qin Muyuan.

As for his form of address for Qin Muyuan, it had changed from "audacious criminal" before the fight to "distinguished hero."

After all... a wise man knows when to bow to circumstance!

This ruthless person before him didn't even need to make a move to send him flying back.

His strength... was likely far above his own!

His cultivation base was very likely at the first-rate Peak half-step Martial Master Realm.

Or even... he might have already accomplished a martial breakthrough and ascended to the Martial Master Realm, just like his brother Zhang Xuefeng!

An expert of such a Realm... was someone he was absolutely no match for!

He needed to play along and pretend for now.

Thus, Zhang Xueshan wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, pulling out his brother Zhang Xuefeng's name like a banner, and said:

"Distinguished hero, do you know Zhang Xuefeng? If so, then this is truly a misunderstanding between friends! I am Zhang Xuefeng's elder brother, and my brother and I share a deep bond—"

"I do," Qin Muyuan interrupted directly, saying:

"One of my reasons for coming to Huoyun City is to kill your brother, Zhang Xuefeng."

As Qin Muyuan's words fell, Zhang Xueshan's rambling chatter emphasizing his close relationship with his brother Zhang Xuefeng came to a screeching halt.

He had wanted to use his brother's reputation as a Martial Master to intimidate the opponent, making the young man hesitate and refrain from acting rashly.

But he never expected...

"H-Hero! Actually, my name just happens to be similar to Zhang Xuefeng's by coincidence, I don't know him at all!"

Zhang Xueshan scrambled up from the ground in panic, secretly channeling his strength into his legs while forcing out a smile uglier than crying, speaking in a frantic hurry.

Qin Muyuan's eyes swept over him coldly:

"At this very moment, are you kidding me?"
