Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

Those who achieve great things must have a heart as cold as ice.

Her husband was too weak, which is why the various tribes in the northern desert could not truly unite, but only superficially submit.

Yelü Abaoji, eager to protect his daughter, said no more to her and urged his horse onward.

"Protect the King and Queen!"

Suddenly, the expert from the northern desert responsible for protecting the two of them spotted Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan was dressed in a black outfit and wore a ghost mask, making him look like a ruthless character.

Shuliduo's galloping horse came to a stop.

Yelü Abaoji ignored the warning and continued riding towards Yelü Zhiwu.

What parent wouldn't be worried if they saw their daughter with a stranger?

Shuliduo gave a wink to the group of experts from the northern desert, and immediately a burly barbarian leaped up and forcibly stopped Yelü Abaoji's galloping horse.

"Younger brother Yao Nian, I order you to step down!"

Yelü Abaoji snorted angrily and lashed the barbarian named Yao Nian's younger brother with his horsewhip.

Yao Nian's younger brother remained silent, letting him whip him.

"The situation is unclear at this time, so please calm your anger, Your Majesty."

While reassuring Yelü Abaoji, Shuliduo made arrangements for the remaining experts from the northern desert:

"The fragrance of the world is extraordinary. I hereby order you to lead men to rescue the princess at all costs."

Shili Qixiang brandished her twin swords, signaling the numerous experts from the Northern Desert to scatter and surround Qin Chuan's location.

"How did Yelü Abaoji become the King of the Northern Desert?"

Qin Chuan shook his head as he watched.

Yelü Abaoji had no control over the people around him; they all listened to Liduo.

This is almost indistinguishable from a puppet.

"It's Father and Mother!"

Yelü Zhiwu then saw her parents, and a pure and lovely smile spread across her little face.

"Come, I'll take you to meet your parents and ask them if they agree to you becoming their apprentice."

Qin Chuan, holding the little girl's hand, ignored the experts from the northern desert around them and walked towards Yelü Abaoji and Shuliduo.

Shiri Kika clashed her twin swords, issuing a warning:

"Release the princess and surrender, or you will be killed without mercy!"

The younger brother, Yao Nian, had a fierce look in his eyes and licked his lips in a perverted manner.

Qin Chuan stopped ten steps in front of Yelü Abaoji and released Yelü Zhiwu's small hand.

The little girl immediately ran to her parents.

"Turns out he's a spineless coward!"

Yao Nian's younger brother grinned menacingly, showing contempt for Qin Chuan.

He had thought this person was some kind of ruthless character, but Shiri Kika's warning was enough to make him obediently submit.

He liked this kind of soft bone the most; it was especially easy to squeeze!

Yao Nian's younger brother's arm veins bulged as he reached out to grab Qin Chuan.

Yelü Zhiwu had just reached her father's side when she heard her younger brother Yao Nian's ferocious laughter. She tried to stop him, but it was too late.

A chilling, bone-piercing blade of light shot into the sky!

A bulging arm with veins throbbing is tossed high into the air!

The arm that Yao Nian's younger brother grabbed at Qin Chuan, along with half of his shoulder, was severed by a single stroke.

He let out a piercing scream, and his tall, burly body collapsed to the ground in pain.

"what?!"

Shiri Kika, wielding two swords, was pale. As a swordswoman herself, she hadn't even seen how this person drew his sword!

How can this be?

Moreover, Yao Nian's younger brother is of similar strength to her, both being top-tier experts in the Middle Heaven rank. Unexpectedly, he couldn't even withstand a single strike from this person. Isn't she the same?

Thinking of this, Shiri Kika subconsciously held her breath, not daring to even breathe loudly.

"This person..."

Shuliduo, watching from behind, frowned. She hadn't expected Qin Chuan to be so violent; Yao Nian's brother's arm was severed almost instantly!

"The next cut won't be to the arm!"

Qin Chuan didn't even glance at Yao Nian's younger brother, but stared at Shuliduo and said calmly.

"It's all a misunderstanding!"

Yelü Abaoji finally understood the situation from Yelü Zhiwu and quickly spoke:

"It was this friend from the Central Plains who saved Zhiwu!"

He always advocated for harmony and had a great fondness for Central Plains culture, and did not want to have a conflict with Qin Chuan, the man who saved his daughter.

Chapter 23 Taking on Xiao Wu as a Disciple, a Beauty That Could Topple Kingdoms

"My subordinates are ignorant, please forgive them, sir."

Shuliduo smiled and spoke, seemingly unconcerned about her brother Yaolian's missing arm.

This man's swordsmanship is superb, and his skill is unfathomable. If we can recruit him into our ranks, great things can be accomplished.

That's why she lowered her stance.

"Hopefully, this will only happen once."

Qin Chuan's attitude, however, was quite indifferent.

Shuliduo didn't take it to heart; she understood that talented people are always arrogant.

Shili Qixiang, Yao Nian's younger brother, and other experts from the northern deserts—weren't they all arrogant at first?

In the end, didn't she manage to subdue him?

"Would you be willing to travel to the Northern Kingdom, sir? So that I, the Queen, may extend my hospitality to the King."

Shuliduo looked at Qin Chuan and extended an invitation.

Qin Chuan nodded slightly.

He was planning to visit the Northern Desert Royal Court to prepare for a future attack on the area.

Not long after, Qin Chuan appeared in the Northern Desert Royal Court.

The nomadic tribes of the northern deserts had always lived a nomadic life, with no fixed abode.

It wasn't until Yelü Abaoji became the King of the Northern Desert that he began to learn about Han culture from the Central Plains, reform customs and etiquette, and build city walls.

Therefore, the style of the Northern Desert royal court and the cities of the Central Plains are extremely similar.

Shuliduo ordered a grand banquet to welcome Qin Chuan back. She was busy for quite some time, demonstrating her utmost courtesy and respect for talent.

Unfortunately, this was destined to be a futile effort.

At the banquet, Qin Chuan removed the mask, revealing his true face.

"So young?"

Shulido glanced sideways, somewhat incredulous.

When did such a young and exceptional master emerge from the Central Plains?

"I wish to take the princess as my disciple. I wonder if Your Majesty and Queen would agree?"

Qin Chuan took a few bites of food and wine and got straight to the point.

While Shuliduo was still pondering these words, Yelü Abaoji slapped his thigh in delight:

"Of course!"

In his youth, he went to the Central Plains to become a disciple of the Tianshan Sword Sect and traveled under the alias Liu Yi.

Therefore, upon hearing that Qin Chuan, a great master from the Central Plains, wanted to take Yelü Zhiwu as his disciple, he immediately agreed.

Shulido frowned, but did not object.

In her view, it was not enough for Yelü Zhiwu to become the 'Number One in the Northern Desert'; it would be best if he could become the 'Number One in the World'.

To achieve this goal, it is essential to learn the profound martial arts of the Central Plains.

Immediately, with her parents as witnesses, Yelü Zhiwu performed the traditional apprenticeship ceremony for Qin Chuan, a ceremony performed in the Central Plains.

"Disciple greets Master."

Qin Chuan reached out and gently stroked the top of her head, smiling slightly.

"You have two senior brothers and sisters. I'll introduce you to them when the opportunity arises."

"Senior brother/sister?"

Yelü Zhiwu's big eyes were full of curiosity.

Just then, a booming voice, like a thunderclap, rang out:

"Where is my eldest niece?"

Then another commotion came from outside, as if someone was trying to force their way into the royal court.

Yelü Abaoji looked helpless, and even Shuliduo's expression seemed somewhat unnatural.

Qin Chuan suddenly realized the identity of the person outside and quickly put on the ghost mask.

The next moment, two figures rushed in.

They were one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, practically two extremes, and both possessed considerable martial arts skills.
