Skip this! Just tell me who to kill!

Hongyan County Town.

In front of the Prefectural Commandant's Office.

"Oh no! The Commandant... the Commandant is dead!"

"Run! Run! The prefect is dead. Even if we kill this murderer, we can't escape death! Run!"

"The Commandant is dead! The entire Red Rock County... is about to change!"

With Shang Youcai dead, the remaining warriors and the Hundred-Refined Army immediately lost the will to resist.

Because Shang Youcai is the county commandant of Huoyun Kingdom, his status is similar to that of a local military commander!

Once the Commandant dies, regardless of the reason or whether the Hundred Refinement Army and martial arts practitioners did their best to protect him.

Once the Commandant is dead, what awaits Hongyan County will be the thunderous hammer of the Huoyun Kingdom's court!

All the warriors and Hundred-Refined Army members present would be accused of failing to provide adequate protection and would be suppressed by the imperial court with iron-fisted methods!

These are the laws and regulations of the current Huoyun Kingdom!

When the commander of a city dies, the entire city's power will be purged.

This was both to demonstrate the imperial court's overwhelming power and to pave the way for the appointment of a new prefectural commander.

In times of chaos, harsh measures are necessary. This is the norm in the current turmoil between the Fire Cloud Kingdom and the Small Mountain Kingdom!

Therefore, when Shang Youcai died, whether they were warriors, soldiers of the Hundred Refinements Army, or captains of the Hundred Refinements Army,

At this moment, none of them had any intention of killing Qin Muyuan to atone for their mistakes, because there was no way to atone for them!

At this moment, they all seemed to have gone mad, no longer caring about anything else, and hurriedly fled and hid outside the prefectural governor's office.

Even if Qin Muyuan used the Wind-Stepping Technique to fight his way in and out of the crowd,

However, once the soldiers stopped forming a battle formation and instead scattered and fled, Qin Muyuan was powerless to kill them all, even if he wanted to.

After all... the Hundred-Refined Army soldiers forming the battle formation were like being shot in a line, while the soldiers who fled without regard for anything were equivalent to hundreds of wild boars running around!

……

On a magnificent building near the prefectural governor's office.

Jade Water Fairy paid no attention to the fleeing soldiers and warriors.

At this moment, her gaze was entirely focused on Qin Muyuan, and her face, hidden by a thin veil, held a strange expression.

Just as Qin Muyuan broke through to the fourth level of the Berserker Sword Technique and concentrated his bloody aura on the sword's edge, Fairy Jade Water had already made up her mind—

She would not sign a contract with Qin Muyuan that was not of the highest rank, let alone a contract with a ninth-rank warrior!

She even refused to sign the Hercules Contract!

because.

"What a powerful aura of bloodlust! It deserves... to be mine!"

A look of extreme greed flashed across Jade Water Fairy's face.

Her gaze toward Qin Muyuan was filled with love.

But this love wasn't for Qin Muyuan, but for the bloodthirsty aura emanating from him!

The first stage of immortal cultivation is called Qi Refining.

Qi cultivation, as the name suggests, requires the rare and precious material of spiritual energy!

Only by possessing spiritual energy can one break through to the Qi Refining Realm, absorb the scattered spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and become a Qi Refining Immortal Cultivator!

Whether it's the uncommon [Bloodthirsty Qi], the common [Minor Pure Spiritual Qi], or the legendary [Heavenly Gang Fate Qi]...

As long as it is Qi, it can enable ordinary cultivators to truly embark on the path of immortality and achieve the Qi Refining Realm!

It's an infuriating thing; it's just too difficult to obtain.

Even though Fairy Yu Shui came from a prestigious family, at the early stage of Qi Refining, she could only master one mid-grade Yellow Rank [Qinghe Spiritual Qi].

Even if it's just [Qinghe Spiritual Energy], which is only one grade higher than the lower-grade Yellow Rank.

It can also greatly accelerate the speed at which the Jade Water nourishes the spiritual energy in the dantian, allowing the Jade Water Fairy to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth more efficiently than other immortal cultivators, thus replenishing her own spiritual power.

This allowed Fairy Yu Shui to overpower a group of early-stage Qi Refining cultivators when she first became an immortal cultivator, making her a renowned genius in Lingzhufang City!

The fact that a mere mid-grade Yellow Rank spiritual energy could achieve such a feat is enough to demonstrate the immense usefulness of spiritual energy!

Jade Fairy had heard that within the territory of the Great Liang Kingdom, there were powerful families who, upon entering the Qi Refining stage, were able to master two streams of spiritual energy.

After mastering two spiritual energies, he far surpassed other geniuses in both combat strength within the same realm and the speed of his realm advancement, earning him the title of "prodigy"!

"And now... if I were to seize the bloodthirsty aura from him, I too could become a prodigy!"

Jade Water Fairy gazed fascinated at the faint aura of bloodlust emanating from Qin Muyuan, her heart surging with excitement.

The Blood Fiend Qi is a high-grade Yellow Rank spiritual energy, which is many times stronger than the Qinghe spiritual energy on her body!

If she can master this bloodthirsty energy, and combine it with the spiritual energy of the Qinghe River...

Not to mention Lingzhu Market, even in the entire Great Liang Kingdom, Fairy Yu Shui can find a place to stand!

"It's truly delightful that this barren land on the southern border could produce such spiritual energy!"

Jade Fairy never expected that her original intention in coming to this remote mountain place was only to recruit a strongman, but she would unexpectedly encounter a person with hidden power.

By using immortal techniques to extract Qin Muyuan's tendons and marrow, extract his spinal bones, squeeze out his essence and blood, and carve out the [Four-Weapon Qi Extraction Array].

That way, he could extract the bloodthirsty energy contained within Qin Muyuan and use it himself!

"No rush! We can't rush!"

Jade Water Fairy closed her eyes to calm herself down.

Meeting Qin Muyuan is a tremendous opportunity for me, and I cannot let my impatience cause me to cut it short.

She observed the bloodthirsty aura on Qin Muyuan's body and found that it was only a few wisps, not yet at its strongest.

"Let him kill more people, preferably all the martial artists in the Fire Cloud Kingdom, so that those martial artists can properly nourish the bloodthirsty aura in his body."

"At that time, the bloodthirsty energy will be nourished and reach its most abundant and powerful state, then I will take it..."

Jade Fairy's shapely body trembled slightly. The thought of obtaining such a great opportunity stirred her heart and made her face flush.

"Patience! We must continue to be patient!"

Jade Water Fairy gave a soft hum, and even the thin veil on her face could not conceal the aura of the Clear River emanating from her.

"However, this matter must not be known to anyone else! Everyone who knows about it must be killed."

Jade Fairy thought of the warrior named Shi Gandang, and her eyes suddenly turned cold.

Even if Shi Gandang only knew the difference between immortal cultivators and martial cultivators, and had some information.

However, since a bloodthirsty aura has appeared in this mountainous region, it would be best to kill Shi Gandang as a precaution.

"No, we can't leave either."

Jade Water Fairy then thought to herself.

My most important task right now is to stay close to Qin Muyuan and wait until he has cultivated his bloodthirsty aura to its peak before making my move to reap the rewards.

As for people like Shi Gandang... after killing Qin Muyuan, taking his bloodthirsty aura, and destroying the evidence, they would deal with these scattered loose ends.

Otherwise, if Qin Muyuan were killed halfway through, or severely injured and hiding in some deep mountain, and his own efforts were to fail, the losses would be devastating.

"Grow up quickly..."

Jade Water Fairy stared at the bloodthirsty aura emanating from Qin Muyuan, her gaze filled with intense greed and love...
