Chapter 11 - Advanced Stage of Saber Ar (1/2)

“I….I…..I …” Fang Xue felt as though her throat was being clutched, she was unable to let out a single word. The blood in front of her eyes gave birth to an incessant fear, causing her heart to collapse and left behind only her survival instinct.

“Please don’t kill me. I promise I won’t do this again in the future, please....!”

Qin Nan was indifferent, not a slightest trace of emotion could be seen on his face.

Fear gradually grew in Fang Xue’s heart as she hastily pleaded, “Qin Nan, I am the young lady of Fang Clan. You shouldn’t kill me! If you were to kill me...I….My father will definitely find you and cause trouble for you...and...and also my brother…. My brother has awakened a sixth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit. If you were to kill me..he...he will definitely avenge me…”

Qin Nan furrowed his eyebrows. He naturally knew of Fang Xue’s older brother. He was the Young Lord of the Fang Clan and was named Fang Rulong. In the past, Qin Nan had encountered him several times and had even held a conversation with him, it was just their relationship wasn’t deep at all. However, Qin Nan didn’t expect that Fang Rulong would awaken a sixth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit.

This caused Qin Nan to suspect that something wasn’t right. Normally speaking, if Fang Clan were to awaken a sixth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, they would immediately spread this information throughout the city and hold a banquet to celebrate. After all, a sixth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit was something one would rarely come across in ten years worth of time in Linshui City.

Although Qin Nan did have suspicions, he didn’t ponder on this any longer. He sneered at Fang Xue and said, “Fang Xue, ah Fang Xue. You really are interesting. Even at this moment, you’re still threatening me. This is Longhu Mountain Range, and even if I were to kill you now, who would know?”

Fang Xue’s complexion changed in a blink of an eye, her small mouth was gaping. However, she was unable to let a single word out.

At this moment, sword aura flickered and Fang Xue’s life was immediately severed. Her eyes were wide open with a hint of disbelief even at death’s door.

Qin Nan gazed at her corpse and said indifferently, “I forgot to tell you that I’m not afraid of your father because my father is also the Patriarch of the Qin Clan. Moreover, I’m definitely not afraid of your brother because he doesn’t even hold a place in my eyes.”

After he had finished speaking, Qin Nan turned around and walked away. However, before taking even a single step, he immediately turned around and looted over twenty Body Tempering Pills from Fang Xue’s corpse as well as an archaic map.

“This girl is indeed very wealthy,” Qin Nan thought to himself as he put away the Body Tempering Pills. He then shifted his gaze to the archaic map.

Qin Nan’s current vision was naturally able to see the age of this archaic map; it was indeed very old.

“According to the conversation between Fang Xue and her guards, they had discovered a cavern based on the map. However, this cavern was too run down and there were no treasures within it whatsoever. Presently, I don’t have anything to do. I might as well go take a look at this cavern and see if I can find anything…” decided Qin Nan.

Either way, there was one day remaining before he had to return to the Qin Clan, thus he still had plenty of time. He was only going to take a look, it wouldn’t waste much time. Perhaps he could even find something.

Qin Nan followed the map slowly and walked towards the location on the map. Soon enough, a cavern appeared before him.

This cavern was encompassed by a dense pile of trees with the height of the entrance being roughly two people tall. Overgrown weeds surrounded the cavern and the place seemed ordinary.

Qin Nan proceeded to enter the cavern. However, as he entered, his face revealed a trace of disappointment.

The interior of the cavern was approximately ten Chi deep; one could see the end of the cavern with just the naked eye. Other than the heap of overgrown weed, hollow marks could also be seen on the walls. There was simply nothing special about this place at all.

“It seems like this archaic map is indeed just a scam.” Qin Nan lightly shook his head as he prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Qin Nan noticed a palm imprint on the cavern wall, this imprint was deeply indented into the cavern wall. The details of the imprint were extremely distinct and was emanating a strand of a chilling intent.

“Huh?” Qin Nan turned suspicious. His instinct told him that this palm imprint was different.

Qin Nan promptly walked towards it, carefully inspecting the palm imprint. He had even retrieved the Black Iron Saber from his waist and probed the imprint using it. However, Qin Nan shook his head when he realized that there was no mechanism behind the palm imprint. Perhaps it was something left behind from someone else’s training.

However, at this moment, Qin Nan’s entire body suddenly shivered.

“How did the Divine Battle Spirit appear on its own?...”

Qin Nan felt a great shock, he didn’t even have the time to ponder over this before a ferocious and tyrannical force erupted from the ordinary-looking palm imprint on the cavern wall. It was as if heaven-defying pressure violently gushed out.

“This is….” Qin Nan was completely stunned. If the Divine Battle Spirit hadn’t envelop himself in its aura, then Qin Nan wouldn’t have been able to withstand the aura with just his cultivation; he would’ve been ripped into pieces by it.

At this moment, Qin Nan gathered his thoughts once again. The palm imprint in front of him is definitely not a common imprint, but it was something an expert had left behind. This caused the palm imprint to contain an imposing power that lingered in this area.
