393 Killing Qin Qiao (1/2)
Up in the fighting ring, Qin Qiao's expression was ferocious. He was prepared to kill Qin Xiaoyou in one fell swoop. When his Inner Qi completely exploded without reserve, it was comparable to the pinnacle of the Qi Nucleation realm.
He naturally knew Bi Kuanhai and Huo Changxing would take action to stop him, so he was prepared. He did not give them any chances. Then, just as he was about to succeed, a formless golden silk thread, like a little snake, bizarrely appeared in front of Qin Qiao. It drilled into his brain in the blink of an eye.
Qin Qiao's body suddenly shook, and his entire person stopped on the spot. He was staring into the air with dull eyes, seemingly having become a fool. The attack that he had prepared before immediately dissipated.
In contrast, the 12 Silver Serpent Freezing Pins that Qin Xiaoyou had sent out were unaffected. With whooshing sounds, they all shot into Qin Qiao's body, penetrating straight through without any resistance.
Qin Qiao's body went stiff, and a layer of frost immediately covered him. The next moment, cracking sounds could be heard. His figure shattered into pieces, becoming a pile of ice debris on the ground. The Silver Serpent Freezing Pins' chill was shocking. Once it penetrated the body, even a Qi Nucleation realm ancient martial art practitioner could not block it.
Qin Xiaoyou was slightly stunned. She looked at Qin Qiao's shattered corpse, unable to respond for a while. He had actually died!? Was he so easy to kill?
Not only Qin Xiaoyou, but the people below the fighting ring were also stunned. They stared blankly at the fighting ring, looking at the shattered corpse that had become ice cubes.
Before this, Qin Qiao was still overbearing with his combat ability comparable to the pinnacle of the Qi Nucleation realm. In the blink of an eye, he had ended up like that. The contrast was so unreal that it made people feel as though they were in a dream.
”What's going on?” The Qin Clan's eldest great grandfather suddenly stood up. His eyes were blazing as he looked at the fighting ring, shocked and angered. Although he was not too concerned about Qin Qiao's life, he was very concerned about the Qin Clan's image. They had actually lost what was to be an assured victory, and they had lost so completely and bizarrely, too.
A Qi Nucleation realm youth genius had died in the fighting ring without doing anything. He could not accept this.
Bi Kuanhai and Huo Changxing were also shocked. Their silhouettes that had been flying forward slowed down and stopped in their tracks. They looked at the fighting ring with surprised expressions.
Almost everyone was in disbelief, unable to comprehend what had just transpired. An ancient martial art practitioner comparable to the pinnacle of the Qi Nucleation realm had actually died so bafflingly, and at the hands of a maiden at the Sea of Qi realm, at that. Before Qin Qiao had undergone that transformation, by right, it would have been impossible for Qin Xiaoyou to kill him so easily.
The corner of Mo Wen's mouth curled into a cold smile. His eyes were expressionless. Just now, he had taken action. He had not used normal methods. Instead, he had used a rare spiritual attack. Using his soul and will as power, he directly attacked the opponent's soul.
If this had been earlier, Mo Wen could not have possibly mastered such a skill. But now, after practicing the Divine Soul Trillion Layers, he began to have a profound understanding of spiritual power. He also mastered some surface layer techniques for using his soul and will.
The Divine Soul Trillion Layers was a rare peerless technique in the world. Just scratching the surface was beyond what normal ancient martial art practitioners could imagine. If he had not received the Medicine Sage Ji Wuya's inheritance by coincidence, he would not possibly be able to practice this peerless technique.
After all, back then, Ji Wuya was also very lucky to be able to practice the Divine Soul Trillion Layers. If he had not received Ji Wuya's Primordial Soul Pearl's inheritance, even if he had been given the Divine Soul Trillion Layers way of Practice, he could not practice it.
Qin Xiaoyou was stunned for a while, but she immediately regained her senses. She looked at the shattered corpse in front of her. Her small face was somewhat pale. Her abdomen churned, and she struggled to stop herself from throwing up.
She took a deep breath and shifted her gaze elsewhere. She did not dare to look at Qin Qiao's corpse. She had killed someone. She had killed someone for the first time!
”Xiaoyou, he intended to kill you. You killing him was just self-defense. Don't burden yourself emotionally. Also, as an ancient martial art practitioner, you will frequently witness confrontation. Life and death are all common occurrences,” Huo Changxing said, comforting her softly as he jumped into the fighting ring in a flash. He naturally knew that Qin Xiaoyou had never killed anyone before. She was also kind and had practiced ancient martial arts for only a few months. This was the first time she had killed someone, and he feared that it would leave a substantial shadow on her psyche.
”I know. He should be killed.” Qin Xiaoyou shook her head, her face pale. Astonishingly, she had not forgotten herself. Although anyone would know that she was not calm inside now, she still stood staunchly in the fighting ring.
”Indeed, he should be killed.” Huo Changxing glanced at Qin Qiao. A cold look flashed in his eyes. Disregarding the fact that he had intended to kill Qin Xiaoyou, there was probably more to Qin Qiao's transformation than met the eye. Anyone could see that the scene just now was abnormal. Such strong, evil Qi and hostility was most likely related to the heretic forces of legend.
He turned to look in the direction of the Qin Clan. A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes. Just now, when the Jet-Black Soul Scimitar appeared, he had felt something was amiss. Now that such an incident had occurred, it made it easy for people to relate this to other things.
”Uncle Huo, you don't need to worry. I will not be affected by this. In the future, I will only kill those who need to be killed.” Qin Xiaoyou pouted. A look of determination flashed in her pale face. Since she had practiced ancient martial arts, she had to accept all that the ancient martial arts world had to offer. The things Mo Wen could do, she could also do.
