98: Chapter 98 The Hundred Soul Banner? No, it's the Human Emperor Banner!

Rumble.

The massive five-meter-tall body crashed to the ground, producing a muffled sound.

Fresh blood flowed out from beneath the giant-like body, forming a pool of blood on the floor.

In the middle of the arena, Fang Yuan looked at this scene and stood there in a daze.

"This… killed just like that?"

Fang Yuan muttered under her breath.

Her tone carried a hint of bewilderment.

Fang Wanfeng, whose strength had skyrocketed after using the Fang Family's special secret technique to strengthen his Qi and blood, couldn't even withstand a single move from Qin Muyuan and was instantly killed?

"How is this possible!"

Although Fang Yuan had defected from the Fang Family, her sense of identity with the Fang Family, one of the eight major clans of Daliang Country, still existed.

The martial cultivation secret technique held by the Fang Family could be called extremely violent.

Years ago, the reason her Fang Family was able to rise to become one of the eight major clans was because the Clan Chief of the Fang Family possessed a martial cultivation secret technique that shook the heavens and earth.

Once deployed, one's strength would surge dramatically, and blood would definitely be seen!

Once upon a time, an ancestor of her Fang Family relied on this secret technique and the Realm of Six-Martial Huajin to directly confront a top-tier Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Perfection.

That ancestor relied on the secret technique to forcefully beat that Foundation Establishment Perfection major Cultivator to death!

Although due to the side effects of the secret technique, that ancestor passed away not long after.

But being able to beat a Foundation Establishment Perfection Immortal Cultivator to death at the Realm of Six-Martial Huajin was enough to show how overbearing and powerful this secret technique was!

At that time, after hearing about that ancestor's battle achievements, the entire Daliang Country was shocked and wary of their Fang Family's martial cultivation secret technique.

And it was precisely since that battle that her Fang Family was able to gain a firm foothold among the eight major clans of Daliang Country.

Right now, although Fang Wanfeng's talent was not outstanding enough and he could not yet unleash the full might of the secret technique.

But even if he only unleashed eighty percent, or even just half of the secret technique's might, it was definitely not something the young man in front of her could withstand!

For a moment, Fang Yuan's heart was filled with mixed feelings, and her thoughts surged.

She was both shocked and puzzled that her family's proud secret technique was easily broken by an outsider.

And she was confused and bewildered by the strength displayed by the young man in front of her.

What kind of monster was this?

Even Fang Wanfeng, who had activated the secret technique, was no match for him!

However, amidst her chaotic thoughts, what occupied a greater part was a strong sense of fortune!

She was glad that her gamble had turned out right after all!

The person before her could truly execute Fang Wanfeng on the spot without her help.

Without Fang Wanfeng's obstruction, from now on, she would be able to change her identity, recultivate immortal arts, and completely get rid of the Fang Family's pursuit!

"Hey! Do you want to run?!"

As her thoughts turned, Fang Yuan suddenly saw that her few guards were quietly retreating at this moment, realizing something was wrong and wanting to run away.

Seeing this, she instantly grew anxious in her heart.

She absolutely could not let these guards escape back to the Fang Family to report the news!

Fang Yuan unleashed her spiritual power, intending to kill those guards who were trying to escape.

But the next second, under Qin Muyuan's suddenly cast glance, Fang Yuan's face, which was full of Evil Qi, suddenly changed into a full smile of flattery.

She quickly calmed the rising spiritual power in her body and raised her hands:

"I didn't do anything..."

Qin Muyuan calmly withdrew his gaze, took a step, and the whole person flashed forward rapidly.

After a while, accompanied by several successive screams, the commotion of the battle quickly ceased.

Qin Muyuan walked in covered in blood, still holding a Magic Treasure in his hand.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan went up to meet him by a few steps, yet maintained a distance as she asked with concern:

"Sol... Solved?"

Qin Muyuan glanced at Fang Yuan.

Above Fang Yuan's head, a golden exclamation mark suddenly popped out at some unknown time.

Set off by this golden exclamation mark, Qin Muyuan suddenly felt that Fang Yuan, whom he previously couldn't stand, had her looks directly raised by a tier.

He exited the [Blood Calamity] state, and the blood Qi on his body rapidly dissipated, returning to his ordinary form.

Of course, this ordinary form was relative to other Martial Cultivators.

For Qin Muyuan... even in his ordinary form, his entire body was surrounded by a thin layer of blood Qi.

It looked just like an Immortal Cultivator's protective Spiritual Qi.

Qin Muyuan said peacefully to Fang Yuan:

"Solved."

With that, he extended one hand and pulled out a banner from the player's backpack.

The banner was as dark as ink all over, and from the flag surface to the pole, it was wreathed in a layer of thick black Qi that condensed without dispersing.

When a gentle breeze blew, the flag body did not flutter like ordinary fabric, but shuddered in a posture close to the spasm of a living creature.

Every single tremor burst forth countless overlapping wails, howls, and shouts from within the flag.

Qin Muyuan raised the banner and waved it towards the battlefield.

Immediately, souls emitting shrill screams rose into the air from the battlefield.

These souls included Yuheng, Luo Sujin and the guards of the Luo Family, Fang Wanfeng, and a crowd of guards who died in the Baixian Tower area.

"Ahahaha! No! No!"

As if suffering the pain of a thousand cuts, these souls wailed in agony while being uncontrollably reeled into the banner.

As these souls were taken into the banner, the gloomy black Qi entangling the banner grew even denser by a fraction.

"Hundred-Soul Banner?!"

Seeing this scene, Fang Yuan's expression did not change, but her feet quietly took a step back.

Although the Fang Family indeed adopted the method of raising Gu, cultivating powerful Cultivators through the blood of the new generation of clan members.

But no matter what, the Fang Family was ultimately a reputable and orthodox sect, having nothing to do with demonic Cultivators.

However, this Hundred-Soul Banner that absorbed souls and used souls to attack enemies... was the quintessential signature Magic Treasure of the Demonic Path!

"What Hundred-Soul Banner?" Hearing this, Qin Muyuan glanced at Fang Yuan:

"This is the Human Emperor Banner of mine!"

"It was Fang Yuan who lacked insight, so it turns out to be the Human Emperor Banner!"

Fang Yuan looked suddenly enlightened on the surface, but secretly glanced at the "Human Emperor Banner" in Qin Muyuan's hand.

Whose Human Emperor Banner... the hell is spewing black Qi like crazy!

Having collected souls for the [Black Qi Human Emperor Banner], Qin Muyuan then restarted the work that had been interrupted by Luo Sujin earlier—

"Spiritual Qi harvest!"

He came before Yuheng, absorbing and refining the Spiritual Qi extracted from the corpse into his body.

Not only Yuheng, but the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of all the dead Immortal Cultivators in the battlefield were absorbed and refined by him, cast into the Furnace All-Things Technique as fuel.

[Green · Furnace All-Things Technique → Blue · Furnace All-Things Technique]

[Blue · Furnace All-Things Technique]

[Highest Realm: Qi and Blood Martial Cultivator → Huajin Martial Cultivator]

[Current Realm: Four Changes of Qi and Blood]

[Special Abilities: Qinghe Water-Control True Scripture, Dragon-Swallowing Gu, Chronic Illness, Yellow Earth Qi...]

"After the Qi and Blood Martial Cultivator comes the Huajin Martial Cultivator..."

Seeing this, Qin Muyuan understood from the panel:

"Huajin Martial Cultivator, through practicing powerful martial arts, comprehends the Huajin within the martial arts..."

"Depending on the number of Huajin mastered, it is called a certain-martial Huajin Realm. For example, since I have now mastered the incomplete Nailing Force, after breaking through, I am barely considered to be at the Realm of One-Martial Huajin..."

"Hmm? My Falling Thunder force doesn't count as Huajin?"

Qin Muyuan thought to himself.

It seemed that the level of the Falling Thunder Swordsmanship was too low, and the force generated could not reach the Huajin level.

So it wasn't counted by the panel.

"Only forces of the level of Nailing Force count as Huajin..."

Qin Muyuan suddenly remembered that he was able to harvest the incomplete Nailing Force earlier.

It was by using the [Devouring Method] of the Dragon-Swallowing Gu to swallow a nail-like Magic Treasure.

In other words.

Qin Muyuan grabbed the Foundation Establishment Magic Treasure left behind by Yuheng, the three-tailed fox brush.

Immediately afterwards, amidst Fang Yuan's exclamation of "Ooh!", Qin Muyuan tossed the three-tailed fox brush into his mouth.

Chew, chew, chew in big bites.

Directly chewed it to pieces and swallowed it.

Qin Muyuan opened the panel, and sure enough, a streak of light flashed across.
