Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

The terrifying image of Qin Quan sweeping away the nine netherworlds with a single sword strike and summoning thunder with a wave of his hand flashed through Zhang Qingshun's mind.

Let alone the two Kumanthong, even the old ghost floating in the void at this moment might not be able to withstand a single move from Qin Quan.

Just as the two Kuman Thong were about to pounce on the three of them like black shadows, Qin Quan made his move.

There were no fancy moves, only lightning-fast movements.

They came from behind but surpassed others!

Two muffled explosions rang out in succession.

boom!boom!

The Kumanthong, which was diving at high speed, was hit by Qin Quan's two simple punches. Its tender body was subjected to tremendous force and was sent flying uncontrollably dozens of meters away.

It slammed heavily into the ground, sending dust flying.

High in the sky, the old ghost who had just broken through to the Martial King realm suddenly narrowed his eyes, his face filled with horror.

He never expected that the young man before him would possess such terrifying combat power.

"Martial King Realm? To have reached the Martial King Realm at such a young age, you must be hiding an enormous secret!"

An excited glint shone in the old ghost's eyes, filled with greed.

He had just broken through to the Martial King realm, and his confidence was inflated, believing himself to be invincible in his current realm.

Even though Qin Quan was quite strong, he was not afraid at all, and the outcome was still uncertain.

Qin Quan raised his eyes and stared at the other person with a half-smile.

"No matter how many secrets I have, I'm afraid you'll take them to heart, and then you won't live to enjoy them."

"What an arrogant young man! I like him!"

The old ghost burst into loud laughter, his malevolent aura overwhelming.

If he had reached the Martial King level at Qin Quan's age, he would have been even more arrogant than Qin Quan.

Stop trying to glorify yourself.

Qin Quan chuckled, his aura suddenly exploding.

"You really think you can stand tall in the void by stepping on four evil spirits? You pretentious show-off don't even deserve to be called a strongman. Someone like you could be crushed with a single finger of mine."

"Youthful exuberance is wonderful!"

Old Gui sincerely exclaimed that the more he looked at Qin Quan, the more he liked her.

"However, you were able to see through my ability to fly by relying on evil spirits? That's quite an achievement."

He was able to levitate entirely because of the four evil spirits beneath his feet.

Qin Quan saw through this little trick at a glance.

Then, to the old ghost's utter astonishment, Qin Quan stepped into the void and strolled upwards.

Like taking a stroll in space, it slowly ascended into the air, and in an instant, it stood at eye level with the old ghost.

"You...you also know how to control ghosts?"

Old Gui was completely dumbfounded, staring intently at Qin Quan's feet, rubbing his eyes repeatedly, utterly astonished.

Qin Quan walked on empty ground, without any support or true energy to cushion his steps, purely in the void without gravity.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Old Gui was completely shocked and couldn't believe it.

"At just over twenty years old, breaking through to the Martial King realm is already extremely rare. How could you possibly fly? Is this a technique of the Martial Emperor realm?"

"Even if you started cultivating from the womb, it's absolutely impossible!"

He spent his entire life just barely breaking through to the Martial King level, how could Qin Quan possibly be the legendary Martial Emperor?

The scene before him completely overturned his understanding of martial arts.

"You talk too much nonsense."

Qin Quan's eyes turned cold, and a murderous intent suddenly arose.

As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed two fingers together like a sword and pointed it in mid-air.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Two beams of pure Yang sword energy shot out.

The sword energy tore through the thick fog, heading straight for the old ghost's vitals.

Feeling the terrifying pressure brought by the sword energy, the old ghost's expression changed drastically. He finally confirmed that the young man in front of him was a genuine Martial Emperor!

"Damn it!"

He disregarded his dignity, frantically forming hand seals and roaring angrily at the fallen Kumanthong in the distance.

"You beast, protect the emperor at once! Kill him!"

The two Kuman Thong statues that had been knocked away slowly got up and let out a strange, cackling laugh.

When they saw Qin Quan's terrifying aura, their instinctive fear was like encountering a natural enemy, and they hesitated to step forward.

But bound by the master-servant contract, they were utterly powerless to defy the old ghost's commands.

Suppressing his fear, he bared his sharp zombie fangs and flew to protect his master with a fierce yet endearing expression.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Two golden beams arrived in an instant, piercing through the Kumanthong's chest. Pure Yang flames burned in his chest, the wound sizzled and oozed oil, and green blood kept gushing out.

The two invincible Kuman Thong statues couldn't even hold on for a moment before falling from mid-air, completely lifeless.

Old Gui was dumbfounded, his lips twitching violently.

These two Kuman Thong are his trump cards, cultivated with countless efforts and resources, and are his greatest reliance. No one in the entire southern border region can break through them.

But now, they couldn't even stop the two sword energies that Qin Quan casually unleashed!

"What kind of monster is he? When did the Gu Poison Sect provoke such a terrifying being?!"

"Huang Lüdeng, you fucking ruined me."

Old Gui cursed inwardly, cursing Huang Lüdeng's ancestors countless times.

However, the two sword energies that killed the Kumanthong did not lose momentum. Like two golden dragons, they tore through the thick fog and attacked the old ghost again with overwhelming force.

In desperation, Old Ghost shouted at Nongyan:

"Fourth Elder, I have used all my trump cards. Please come to my aid immediately!"

At this moment, he suddenly realized that he had been a pawn pushed out by the Gu Poison Sect from beginning to end, a cannon fodder to take the bullet!

puff!

Before he could finish speaking...

The sword light landed, and blood exploded.

Two pure yang sword energies crisscrossed each other, instantly cutting the old ghost's body into four pieces. Even the four evil spirits that he was supporting in the air were all killed by the sword energy.

Old Ghost's weightless body plummeted toward the ground, his eyes filled with resentment and regret.

"Huang Lüdeng, you've wronged me terribly, I'm not reconciled...!"

He had spent half his life cultivating diligently and had just broken through to the Martial King realm. He thought he could dominate the Southern Frontier, but in the end, he couldn't even withstand a single move from Qin Quan.

The insurmountable gap in strength was something he could never let go of until his death.

Outside the Misty Ghost Forest.

The four elders of the Gu Poison Sect, who were hiding in the shadows, were already terrified and fled in panic.

He originally thought that with Old Ghost's intervention, the Hidden Dragon Squad would be wiped out, allowing him to reap the benefits.

But he never expected that this team not only had a Taoist master like Zhang Qingshun, but also a peerless expert like Qin Quan, who was comparable to a Martial Emperor!

"The giant serpent, the old ghost, the Gu King... they're all a joke in front of the Martial Emperor!"

As the Fourth Elder ran, his heart sank into despair.

However, his mind was perfectly clear.

Returning to the Gu Poison Sect now means either dying in battle or being captured; there is absolutely no way out.

"Escape! We must escape in the chaos! We absolutely cannot return to the Gu Poison Sect to die!"

He made up his mind to go into hiding, leave for distant lands, and never return to the Gu Poison Cult.

……

Inside the Misty Ghost Forest.

The great battle ended, and the eerie winds gradually subsided.

Qin Quan scanned the entire eerie woodland, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

The miasma in this place never dissipates, the dense fog lingers, and the magnetic field is disordered. It can block satellite signals and paralyze all electronic devices, so it must have some unknown secret.

"Sister Yao, highlight this area."

Qin Quan instructed, "After we wipe out the Gu Poison Cult, we'll come back to investigate this place. There are definitely some unknown secrets hidden underground."

"no problem."

Jiang Yao readily agreed, but turned her head and glanced at Lin Wanrou with a half-smile, her pretty face showing a hint of competition.

"Don't we have top experts from Longke Academy on our team? With President Lin involved, even the deepest secrets can be uncovered, right?"

Lin Wanrou, not to be outdone, calmly retorted:

"I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I can assure you, there's definitely something here."

The two had just fought side by side against the enemy, united against a common foe, but in the blink of an eye they began to secretly compete and vie for the limelight, with constant minor frictions.

Qin Quan felt a headache coming on and quickly changed the subject.

"Boss lady, what do you mean by saying there's something downstairs?"

Lin Wanrou suppressed her smile and became serious.

"It can completely disrupt the magnetic field, block all signals, and trap fog and miasma for thousands of years; it is definitely not formed naturally."

She crouched down, grabbed a handful of damp black soil, brought it close to her nose to sniff, then picked up a little and tasted it, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

She suddenly looked up and said with absolute certainty:

"There's a large tomb down there!"
