Asura Mad Emperor

Just as Qinchuan and the others were about to pluck the Dragon Blood Grass, whose medicinal efficacy had reached ten thousand years,

they suddenly felt a series of sharp auras rapidly approaching from behind.

"So it was you who stole the Lingzhu fruits!"

Nine powerful auras rapidly approached from behind, and within a few breaths, several people appeared in front of Qinchuan and the others.

Upon seeing Qinchuan and the others, Lin Xuan's expression instantly turned cold, and his sharp gaze immediately fell upon them.

Then, his eyes swept over and fell upon the Dragon Blood Grass in front of Qinchuan, and a hint of fascination quickly flickered in his eyes.

"Is that Dragon Blood Grass? And its color is so Immortal-flame-like, its leaves so crystal-clear and exquisite. Could this be the Dragon Blood Grass of a ten-thousand-year vintage?"

"We've long heard that the Myriad Spirit Garden contains many spiritual medicines and treasures that are tens of thousands of years old, some even a hundred thousand years. I never expected that we would actually encounter one!"

The eight disciples of the Li Mountain Sword Sect that followed Lin Xuan also took notice of the Dragon Blood Grass in front of Qinchuan, all revealing expressions of surprise and excitement.

"It's the disciples of the Li Mountain Sword Sect!"

Li Ran and the others' faces changed slightly, not expecting to run into people from the Li Mountain Sword Sect.

The Li Mountain Sword Sect was second only to the Taixuan Sect among the six great Superior Sects of Shanhe County, with its share of exceptional talents.

Qinchuan, as if he hadn't seen Lin Xuan and the others at all, reached out on his own and plucked the Dragon Blood Grass, preserving its rootstock.

"Hmm? Boy, put down the Dragon Blood Grass! Hand over the Lingzhu fruits you previously stole, or none of you will leave here alive today!"

Seeing Qinchuan simply plucking the Dragon Blood Grass on his own, Lin Xuan's eyes turned icy as he spoke in a cold tone.

It was only then that Qinchuan glanced at him, frowning slightly, "The Lingzhu fruits we are accused of stealing?"

"This Myriad Spirit Garden has always belonged to the Congyun Sect, and all resources here rightfully belong to our Sect!"

"I allowed you to enter the Myriad Spirit Garden to pick spiritual medicines; that was a grace bestowed upon you. If I chose not to allow you in, that would also be appropriate!"

"Having enjoyed our grace and entered this place, do you now presume to claim ownership here? Since when did this Dragon Blood Grass and the Lingzhu fruits become yours?"

Hearing Qinchuan's words, the disciples of the Li Mountain Sword Sect scoffed, saying, "Boy, it's true that the Myriad Spirit Garden belonged to the Congyun Sect tens of thousands of years ago, but times have changed. Do you still think your Congyun Sect is the colossal power of Imperial Dao it once was?"

"The Congyun Sect has long since declined, and the Myriad Spirit Garden has become a public domain. Now, whoever has the stronger fist has the right to the resources here! Do you really think that, with just you few, you can take the Dragon Blood Grass and leave with the Lingzhu fruits right in front of us?"

"There aren't any of your Congyun Sect's revered elders here to protect you now! If you know what's good for you, hand over the Dragon Blood Grass and the Lingzhu fruits quickly. We might be merciful and spare your lives. Otherwise, this day next year will become your memorial day!"

Lin Xuan also spoke coldly, his gaze sweeping over Qinchuan and his companions, his eyes filled with a hint of contempt, clearly not taking them seriously.

The highest cultivation levels among them, Li Ran and Wang Hao, were merely at the fifth layer of the Meridian Opening Realm.

In his eyes, Qinchuan and his group were nothing more than ants that could be crushed with a single finger, naturally not worth his concern.

Upon hearing their words, Qinchuan glancing at them indifferently, said expressionlessly, "Even if the Congyun Sect has declined, it is not to be insulted by the likes of you ants."

"Hmm? Boy, who are you calling ants!?"

"Hmph, an ignorant fool. Merely at the Condensed Truth realm in cultivation, you dare speak so arrogantly before us, calling us ants. What do you think you are?"

"We were going to give you a chance to live, but since you are so ignorant and disrespectful to us, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

Hearing Qinchuan's words, Lin Xuan and others immediately showed a chilling expression on their faces, their killing intent fierce.

A mere Martial Artist of the Condensed Truth Realm actually dared to look down upon them, calling them ants. Moreover, they from Li Mountain Sword Sect had long coveted the Congyun Sect. At this moment, they all harbored a murderous intent.

"I really didn't want to resort to the slaughter blade, but how come there's always someone stretching their neck out for it? It seems wanting to restrain one's temper really isn't that easy."

Qinchuan sighed softly, with a somewhat helpless expression.

"Nonsense!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Upon hearing Qinchuan's words, those disciples of Li Mountain Sword Sect couldn't help but roll their eyes in unison, feeling that Qinchuan's attitude was just posturing and being pretentious.

"Why waste words with him? Since this man is so ignorant of life and death, Qing Quan, you go and kill him!"

Lin Xuan glanced indifferently at Qinchuan and commanded lightly.

With his Seventh Layer of Meridian Opening Realm cultivation level and the identity of a Li Mountain Sword Sect Saint Heir, he disdained to personally deal with a trivial ant of the Condensed Truth Realm.

"Boy, there is a limit to being arrogant! Today I will see you off, remember to tuck your tail properly in your next life!"

No sooner had Lin Xuan's words fallen than a young man at his side immediately sneered and stepped forward, seemingly unable to restrain himself any longer, and dashed towards Qinchuan in an instant.

He didn't bother to draw his sword, for dealing with a mere ant of the Condensed Truth Realm wasn't worth drawing his sword at all!

With his Fifth Layer of Meridian Opening Realm cultivation level, killing the opponent was as easy as flipping his hand!

His movement technique was quite ingenious, quickly approaching Qinchuan, he raised his hand and fiercely slapped towards Qinchuan: "Boy, embrace death!"

Qinchuan seemed as if he hadn't even seen Qing Quan's attack, his expression serene: "You think you can kill me? You're far from capable!"

Before his words fell, a graceful figure swiftly rushed out from his side and "smack," their palms collided with Qing Quan's, the Power of Taiyin surging.

"Ah!"

In a moment, Qing Quan let out a scream, his entire arm swiftly turning rigid, his meridians sealed by the powerful Power of Taiyin, causing his True Qi to become blocked, and nearly forcibly ruptured his meridians.

At the same time, a layer of ice crystals quickly covered his arm, and his body was immediately sent flying backward, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood.

"This is... the Power of Taiyin!"

"I've heard that two years ago, the Congyun Sect recruited someone with the Taiyin True Meridian. So, it was you!"

Lin Xuan's gaze immediately fell upon Zhou Xi, ignoring her beauty, his eyes slightly focused, somewhat surprised that Zhou Xi was able to defeat Qing Quan of the Fifth Layer of Meridian Opening Realm with a single palm.

"Qing Quan, are you all right?"

The others caught Qing Quan and asked with a grave voice.

"Some damage to the meridians, this woman's True Qi is unusually cold, capable of quickly freezing the meridians, stiffening the muscles!"

Qing Quan, holding his arm that had collided with Zhou Xi, suffered a setback in his meridians, and the pain made him break into cold sweat.

"Hmph, daring to injure someone from Li Mountain Sword Sect, today none of you will truly be able to walk away!"

A disciple of Li Mountain Sword Sect, who was quite close with Qing Quan, stepped forward with a cold face, his tone seething with killing intent.

This person was also of the Fifth Layer of Meridian Opening Realm, one of the True Disciples of Li Mountain Sword Sect.
