96: Chapter 96 Qin Muyuan: Capturing the Keyword "Luo Family"

Listening to Luo Sujin's voice and seeing the regret and pleading on her Face, Qin Muyuan smiled.

"Hahaha!"

The laughter resounded amidst the ruins of Baixian Tower.

Seeing Qin Muyuan suddenly burst into laughter, Luo Sujin thought she still had hope of surviving and hurriedly squeezed out a smile as well.

However.

Rip!

Blood Qi surged forth like a flood as Qin Muyuan wielded a long saber, cutting down Luo Sujin's last roaring guard with a single strike.

He arrived before Luo Sujin, his expression cold as he looked down condescendingly at Luo Sujin:

"At a time like this, are you joking?"

Waving his long saber, he slashed straight toward Luo Sujin's head—

"Sigh!"

A soft sigh rang out, and instantly, the long saber Qin Muyuan slashed toward Luo Sujin was blocked by a white-haired elder who abruptly flashed in front of her.

This scene startled Fang Yuan and her group, who were still lingering inside Baixian Tower to watch the show.

Because this white-haired elder was precisely a Martial Cultivator guard following Fang Yuan's party!

This guard had been dispatched by Fang Yuan's father to protect Fang Yuan.

Yet unexpectedly, without Fang Yuan's command, this white-haired elder directly made a move to block in front of Luo Sujin!

"Your Excellency, since Princess Luo already knows her mistake, why must Your Excellency push her to absolute ruin?"

The white-haired elder stood in front of Luo Sujin with a calm expression, but the hand holding the long saber was faintly trembling.

This was caused by blocking Qin Muyuan's attack.

However, no matter what, the white-haired elder could not show it.

He simply stood before Qin Muyuan and said:

"Since Your Excellency has already killed so many guards, you should have vented the anger in your heart by now, right?"

"Why must you also execute Princess Luo right here?"

"Princess Luo was born into the Luo Family, one of the eight major families of Daliang Country. Surely Your Excellency wouldn't want to kill Princess Luo and make an enemy of the Luo Family?"

"How about giving her Luo Family and my Fang Family some Face, and stopping right here?"

The white-haired elder made the proposal with a calm expression.

Yet deep down inside, he felt secretly bitter:

"Motherfucker! Such terrifying power! Is this fucking even a Human Race?!"

Had he not been present, and had Luo Sujin not also belonged to the Luo Family, one of the eight major families of Daliang Country, the white-haired elder would not have wanted to make a move at all to Face the murderous youth before him.

But... there weren't so many ifs!

At this moment he was right on the scene, and no matter what, he could not let a junior from the same eight major families be killed by someone right in front of him!

"What did you just say... She is a person of the Luo Family?"

At this time, Qin Muyuan's voice rang out.

A sharp glint flashed through his eyes.

Even though he was in the state of Blood Calamity, his rationality had decreased by 50%.

Yet Qin Muyuan still acutely captured a keyword from the white-haired elder's words just now—the Luo Family.

Then, he connected this word to the newly acquired [Huang Chao Descends to the World] achievement.

Being in a 50% rational state, establishing this connection even took Qin Muyuan a certain amount of time.

"Indeed." Hearing this, the white-haired elder, thinking Qin Muyuan had some misgivings, slowly nodded.

Yet right on the first nod he gave, the long saber in Qin Muyuan's hand fell simultaneously amidst Luo Sujin's hopeful gaze.

Rip—!

A head that transitioned from hope to astonishment flew up into mid-air.

A pillar of blood gushed out from Luo Sujin's headless neck.

This scene horrified the white-haired elder, and following the horror was violent rage: "You—"

Before the white-haired elder's voice had even fallen, Qin Muyuan flashed before the elder and fiercely slashed out with a saber.

Sensing the sword qi's might carried on the sea of corpses and blood, the white-haired elder's intended words were suddenly shoved back into his mouth, and he could only use his long saber to block in return.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Crisp metallic clashing echoes resounded as the two long sabers collided consecutively in mid-air, blasting sparks flying in all directions.

But after colliding for several strikes, Qin Muyuan suddenly changed his offensive momentum; following the slashing long saber, he fiercely followed up with a kick.

The white-haired elder's attention was entirely focused on the sea of corpses and blood, paying no heed whatsoever to Qin Muyuan's utterly ordinary-looking kick.

Until... this kick truly landed on his body.

Bang!

The white-haired elder's complexion changed drastically, his entire person shooting backward like a sandbag, piercing through countless ruins of Baixian Tower, and being kicked directly nearly thirty zhang away!

His entire Face instantly turned the color of pig liver!

Seeing this scene, Fang Yuan's expression changed several times within a single second.

Immediately afterwards, she shouted out:

"Hurry up and help!"

Hearing this, the guards beside her immediately moved forward.

Yet the next second, these guards only felt a strong gale coming from behind their backs.

Bang! Bang!

Fang Yuan struck out with both palms, squarely hitting the backs of two guards.

Before these two guards had time to turn around and block, they were directly struck dead by Fang Yuan and collapsed to the ground!

Having struck down these two guards, Fang Yuan suddenly turned around and struck again at the other guards beside her.

However.

These guards reacted extremely fast, or rather, had anticipated it long ago.

They quickly recovered from the drastic change of their "own princess rebelling" and blocked consecutively.

Seeing that she could no longer kill guards through sneak attacks, Fang Yuan's figure retreated violently, falling back to Qin Muyuan's side.

"Brother! Let us join forces and execute all of them right here!" Fang Yuan revealed murderous intent, speaking chillingly.

She had waited for this opportunity for a very long time.

Ever since Fang Yuan advanced to the Foundation Establishment realm, she had perceived some abnormalities.

Whenever she chose to Cultivate the "Nine-Turn Destiny Art" bestowed by the Family, she would always feel a resonance in her heart, able to perceive the locations of other clan members of the Fang Family.

She had once asked the Clan Chief of the Fang Family about this matter, but only received the vague explanation that "this is a unique telepathic connection belonging to the Fang Family people."

Naturally, Fang Yuan did not believe this at all.

Thus, she secretly launched an investigation and discovered that not only could she sense her peers of the Fang Family, but the other party could also faintly sense her existence.

Moreover, this sensory connection became increasingly prominent as her strength improved and her cultivation of the "Nine-Turn Destiny Art" deepened.

Until a certain accidental opportunity when Fang Yuan witnessed with her own eyes one of her clan brothers kill another clan younger brother who also cultivated the "Nine-Turn Destiny Art".

What shocked her even more was that after killing the clan younger brother, that clan brother's Qi suddenly surged drastically.

At that moment, Fang Yuan finally understood the true meaning of the so-called "Nine Turns" in the "Nine-Turn Destiny Art":

Turns out this was just like raising a Gu, requiring clan members to devour each other, ultimately cultivating the strongest Gu King, referred to as the "Nine-Turn Gu".

And the young clan members of the Fang Family Cultivating the "Nine-Turn Destiny Art" were actually just Gu insects carefully cultivated by the Fang Family.

As for that "Gu King", it had long since been chosen in secret—

It was precisely her clan brother, which was none other than the son of the contemporary head of the Fang Family, Fang Zheng!

Fang Yuan was unwilling to become a stepping stone for Fang Zheng, yet she was unable to resist!

Every time she went out, those guards by her side, including the white-haired elder Fang Wanfeng,

Nominally to protect her, were actually intelligence agents sent by the Fang Family to monitor her, with the sole purpose of preventing her from escaping.

Fang Yuan had previously suffered from being unable to find an opportunity to escape, until this very moment!

At this moment, Qin Muyuan's appearance, along with the powerful combat strength he displayed, allowed her to see hope of breaking free from her shackles.

Opportunities are fleeting, and Fang Yuan grasped it without a single hesitation.

She was determined to join forces with Qin Muyuan to completely execute all members of the Fang Family present.

Thereby completely casting off the control of the Fang Family, traveling far away to the ends of the earth, and pursuing freedom!

Hearing Fang Yuan's words, Qin Muyuan glanced at her.

He did not know why Fang Yuan, clearly a princess of a major Family, had suddenly rebelled against her Family at this moment.

However.

"Scram!"

Qin Muyuan stepped forward.

"If you dare to meddle in my battle... I'll hack you up as well!"

Experience points could only be exclusively enjoyed by himself!
