Skip this! Just tell me who to kill!

Facing Qin Muyuan's mocking gaze.

At this moment, Zhang Xueshan had only one thought in his mind—

run!

In the next instant, the energy within his body surged into his legs.

He immediately put into practice the Nightfall Leg Technique he had learned from his younger brother, Zhang Xuefeng!

Zhang Xueshan sprang out like a rabbit in an instant.

Run! We have to escape as fast as we can!

The fact that the young man dared to cause trouble for his younger brother Zhang Xuefeng means that he must be a martial arts master.

Such a powerful figure could easily crush a first-rate martial artist like myself!

Therefore, fighting is impossible; I will never fight in this lifetime.

Run away.

The only effective method is to escape!

Fortunately, since he wasn't good at anything else, he specifically learned a Nightfall Leg Technique from his younger brother, Zhang Xuefeng.

Although this Nightfall Leg Technique is not good at offensive combat, it is excellent for escaping quickly.

Unless a martial artist with exceptional legwork skills arrives, an ordinary martial artist would have a hard time catching up with him.

However, in the instant that thought flashed through his mind...

Zhang Xueshan suddenly felt a chill in his chest.

Immediately afterwards, I felt a cold wind rushing back into my heart.

His legs buckled, and he was thrown off balance while moving at high speed, crashing to the ground with a thud.

Zhang Xueshan looked down.

All he could see was a gash in his chest, near his heart.

The heart that was pounding so hard suddenly stopped, blasted into dust by an unknown attack!

"I...I'm...dying..."

Without the blood supply from his heart, Zhang Xueshan's lips quickly turned purple and his face became deathly pale.

He immediately went black and died on the spot.

"Dead, dead?!"

The sight of the snow-capped mountain being instantly obliterated by a bolt of lightning stunned the Fire Cloud City soldiers who were surrounding Qin Muyuan.

"What are you standing there for? You guys go down and keep him company."

Before they could recover from their daze, Qin Muyuan moved again.

His figure moved through the crowd like a ghost, and the bone nails swung down like the Grim Reaper's scythe.

In a short while, all the soldiers who surrounded Qin Muyuan died on the spot.

[Blood Sea Level 2 (35%) → Blood Sea Level 3 (21%)]

[Double kill streak (76%) → Triple kill streak (49%)]

The newly acquired green martial art, [Blood Sea], has been upgraded to the third level.

The blood energy on Qin Muyuan's body became increasingly solid, and it was even about to form a blood-colored phantom beside him.

It looked as if the god Khorne had descended.

"This is the power brought by essence blood..."

Qin Muyuan clenched his fist, feeling the increasingly powerful strength and blood energy within his body.

The effect of the green martial art [Blood Sea] is that it can absorb the essence and blood of enemies and convert it into one's own physique and strength.

When the bone nail kills an enemy, the purest blood power within the enemy's body flows into Qin Muyuan's palm through the bone nail.

At this moment, the Blood Sea at the third level has made Qin Muyuan feel that his power has increased by more than 10%.

This 10% seems like a small percentage.

But what if this 10% is not an additive increase, but a multiplicative increase?

That is to say, with the current 650% increase in physical strength of [I Love Killing], it is directly multiplied by 1.1!

"This is absolutely terrifying!"

Qin Muyuan gasped, adding another contribution to the warming efforts in the Fire Cloud Kingdom.

In addition, the [Chain Kill] martial art, which was obtained at the same time as [Blood Sea], has now been upgraded to level three.

The effect of the "kill streak" martial art is that the more people you kill within a certain period of time, the sharper your weapon becomes.

Killing these small minions might not be very useful right now, but it would be much more effective against a boss with extremely high defense.

For example, that jade water.

Qin Muyuan was confident that if he were to go back and fight Yu Shui again, he would beat Yu Shui until he vomited all his excrement!

If it can't be produced, then at least the jade water was drained clean!

"Let's go."

After clearing away these obstacles, Qin Muyuan led the terrified Chen Shuang and Liang Cijiu forward.

He quickly escorted the two to the entrance of the inner and outer city areas.

At the entrance, a new soldier has been assigned to guard it.

However, their appearance was different from the soldiers on duty in front, and they always had a trembling and cautious demeanor.

Upon seeing Qin Muyuan, the soldiers' expressions changed drastically. They abandoned their posts and vanished in an instant.

"I knew it. Although some NPCs don't learn their lesson, quite a few do."

Qin Muyuan said with satisfaction.

The moment he saw Chen Shuang and Liang Cijiu out of the inner city, the mission panel finally displayed a prompt.

[Mission Completed: Bring Chen Shuang to meet her husband Liang Cijiu and ensure their safe evacuation]

[Rewards: Experience +1000, Shop Points +8000, White Skill - Remove Your Equipment]

Mission accomplished, white skill "Except for You" equipment obtained.

Liang Cijiu turned around and stopped, bowed deeply to Qin Muyuan, and said gratefully, "Hero Qin, you don't need to see me off any further!"

His eyes were filled with emotion as he continued, "We will never forget the kindness of Hero Qin in saving us; it will forever be etched in our hearts!"

Chen Shuang, who was standing to the side, also came to her senses, took out a cloth bag from her waist, handed it to Qin Muyuan with both hands, and said earnestly:

"Master Qin, this was originally a safety pouch that I sewed myself to protect my husband."

"Now, thanks to you, my husband has returned safely."

"This bag is a gift for you."

"I know that Hero Qin possesses a noble spirit and travels a perilous path, but I hope it can at least protect you, and that you will travel unharmed and safe wherever you go!"

"No problem! No problem!" Qin Muyuan's eyes lit up as he took the peace pouch.

[A safety pouch hand-sewn by Chen Shuang]

Quality: None

[Function: This pouch carries the gratitude of Chen Shuang and Liang Cijiu, and may bring good luck.]

"Oh...it's just a souvenir..."

In an instant, the light in Qin Muyuan's eyes vanished.

For a combat-oriented player like him, souvenirs that are neither cool enough nor can improve combat power are useless.

but.

Qin Muyuan casually put the safety pouch into his backpack.

Since you've already given it to me, I might as well take it with me.

Watching Chen Shuang and Liang Cijiu embrace and leave, Qin Muyuan turned around and walked back into the inner city.

Switching to the locked task will refresh the task guide arrow.

The direction the arrow points is the city center of Fire Cloud City, the area where the Fire Cloud Kingdom's emperor resides in the imperial palace!

The drama of one man versus one country is about to begin!

"I wonder if I'll achieve anything new..."

Qin Muyuan thought of the achievement he had obtained: "Nemesis of High-Ranking Officials".

This achievement was obtained by killing several high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

So, destroying the emperor should also grant you an achievement, right?

Qin Muyuan wasn't greedy; all he wanted were achievements like the [Golden Throne], [Blood Corpse Throne], and [Starting with a Bowl].

"Wangcai, we're going to kill the emperor, are you scared?"

As Qin Muyuan walked towards the palace area, he patted Wangcai's head and asked.

"Awoo!"

Wangcai raised its head and let out a proud wolf howl.

"Not bad! As expected of my dog."

Qin Muyuan nodded slightly.

Once he completes this task, he might consider buying a [Beast Enlightenment Pill] from the game store to help Wangcai increase its cultivation level.

At the very least, it will make things easier for Wangcai to start fires, do laundry, and cook in the future.

Walking through the empty streets of the inner city, Qin Muyuan soon arrived at the entrance to the palace area.

Seeing the commotion inside, his face immediately blazed with intense fighting spirit:

"Hey, I was wondering why the inner city was deserted; turns out they're all here!"
