Instant Kill in One Move

His vital energy barrier was still directly shattered.

Qin Bo sent him flying with a single punch.

Fortunately, his strength was not weak; he forcibly reversed his vital energy in mid-air, managing to stabilize himself.

The surrounding guards were dumbfounded.

They were all at the late stage of Body Refining.

The weakest had reached Organ Refining, but the one Qin Bo had sent flying was at the Bone Refining Realm.

After stabilizing himself, the Bone Refining Realm guard's face turned ashen, his heart filled with shock and anger.

He never expected that he, a dignified Bone Refining Realm expert, would be sent flying by a single punch from this seemingly young Qin Bo.

The surrounding guards had originally harbored some doubts about Qin Bo's strength.

Now, witnessing this scene with their own eyes, they were all filled with shock.

"You... you little brat, you actually have such strength. Are you at the Bone Refining Realm Completion?"

The Bone Refining Realm guard said, still shaken.

He had sensed that Qin Bo had held back at the last moment; otherwise, he would have been seriously injured.

"I'm not talented, but I am indeed at the Completion Realm!"

"Young Master is powerful; thank you for showing mercy."

Just then, a series of footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

"What's going on? What are you doing?"

A clear, beautiful voice rang out.

The guards were the first to see the newcomer and hurriedly bowed.

"Greetings, Miss. We were just sparring with this Young Master."

The Bone Refining Realm guard respectfully greeted the owner of the clear voice, his attitude completely different from his previous arrogance towards Qin Bo.

Qin Bo followed the guard's gaze and saw a woman in a light blue dress gracefully walking over.

She had a stunningly beautiful face and snow-white skin. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she exuded an innate noble aura.

"Sparring? The way you were drawing swords just now didn't look like ordinary sparring."

The Miss furrowed her brows slightly, her gaze shifting between Qin Bo and the guards.

Qin Bo also hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Miss. It was indeed just sparring earlier. I was just carried away and didn't know my own strength. I hope Miss doesn't mind."

Qin Bo guessed that this woman was probably someone of high status in the City Lord's Mansion, so he was very polite in his words.

The Miss nodded lightly, her gaze lingering on Qin Bo, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes:

"Judging from your accent, you don't sound like a local. Where did you come from, and why were you sparring with the guards of my City Lord's Mansion?"

Qin Bo was about to answer, but the Bone Refining Realm guard interjected:

"Miss, this Young Master is preparing to participate in the Demon Suppressing Division's assessment. I saw that Young Master was quite strong, so I wanted to learn a thing or two."

"What?! Participating in the assessment?"

Hearing this, she immediately became excited and extended her hand to Qin Bo.

"Hello, I'm also preparing to participate in the assessment. My name is Zhou Ruixue!"

Qin Bo was stunned for a moment, then extended his hand as well.

"Li Family Village, Qin Bo!"

Zhou Ruixue smiled as she shook Qin Bo's hand, her eyes full of surprise:

"I didn't expect to meet someone else participating in the assessment at the City Lord's Mansion. What a coincidence! Young Master Qin, seeing how strong you are, you'll definitely pass the assessment with flying colors."

Qin Bo quickly said modestly, "Miss Zhou is too kind. The Demon Suppressing Division's assessment must be full of difficulties. I wouldn't dare to be careless."

"On the other hand, Miss Zhou, as someone from the City Lord's Mansion, must know more about the assessment. I hope Miss Zhou can give me some guidance in the future."

Zhou Ruixue covered her mouth and chuckled, "Guidance is too much to ask. Let's just exchange ideas."

"Although I am from the City Lord's Mansion... I only know a little about the assessment. I heard that this assessment will not only involve a contest of strength but also some tests of strategy and adaptability."

The more the two talked, the more congenial they became, but the Bone Refining Realm guard on the side listened with some helplessness.

He muttered to himself, "This Miss is really a martial arts fanatic. As long as it involves martial arts, she can chat enthusiastically."

But he didn't dare to interrupt and could only stand there awkwardly.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Ruixue seemed to remember something and said:

"Young Master Qin, since we are both going to participate in the assessment, why don't we find some time to discuss our cultivation experiences? Maybe we can inspire each other and it will be more helpful for the assessment."

Qin Bo readily agreed, "I couldn't ask for more. Miss Zhou, if you have time, you can come and find me at any time."

Zhou Ruixue nodded and smiled, "Okay, then I won't disturb Young Master Qin. Let's talk in detail another day."

With that, she left with her maid.

Qin Bo and several guards became acquainted after their initial misunderstanding, growing familiar with each other and insisting on dragging Ling Yuan out for a drink.

In the end, Qin Bo used the excuse of the assessment to refuse them all.

Back in the small courtyard.

Qin Bo took out the Book of Yin Marriage.

"Hello, Miss Luo, can you hear me?"

"Yes, Young Master, I can hear you."

"What is your strength?!"

"I am the daughter of the Ghost King, possessing the strength of an evil spirit."

"Hmm, so strong? Can you take action in the future?"

"No, Young Master, as soon as I leave the marriage contract, my father will be able to find my location and send people to capture me."

Qin Bo was stunned.

You even have the function of bait?!

If I'm short on lifespan in the future, can I let her take a stroll and attract anomalies?!

Thinking of this, Qin Bo's eyes lit up, and the expression he gave the marriage contract became lewd.

"Young Master... your expression..."

Luo Qingyan's bashful voice came from within the marriage contract.

"Can you see me in the marriage contract?"

"Yes, yes, I can, Young Master."

"No, you can't look. What if I'm taking a bath?"

"I wouldn't mind, Young Master."

Qin Bo sighed helplessly and put away the marriage contract.

He immersed his consciousness in his mind; it had been a while since he checked his stats.

"System, display the panel!"

[Host: Qin Bo]
[Physique: Bronze Tendons Iron Bones]
[Cultivation: Body Tempering Realm (Perfected)]
[Skills: Ancient Desolation Body Tempering Technique (Perfected), Pig Slaughtering Saber Technique (Return to simplicity)]
[Remaining Lifespan: 89 years]

"89 years of lifespan, that's enough for now."

"I still need to join the Demon Suppressing Division as soon as possible to obtain the cultivation methods and martial skills for the subsequent realms, otherwise, there will be no room for improvement."

"The old Taoist said that the next realm is the Blood Condensation Realm!"

"Blood Condensation, as the name suggests, is about condensing vital energy."

"The path of martial arts in this world is to stimulate the potential within the body and give birth to vital energy unique to humans."

"Then, use this vital energy to fight against anomalies!"

"Perhaps I can start with the Ancient Desolation Body Tempering Technique and the Pig Slaughtering Saber Technique to see if I can further tap into the potential of these two skills and prepare for breaking through to the Blood Condensation Realm."

Qin Bo muttered to himself.

The Ancient Desolation Body Tempering Technique had already been cultivated to perfection. Each time he used it, he could feel the power of his body, but it seemed that he could still stimulate his potential on a deeper level.

And the Pig Slaughtering Saber Technique had reached the Return to simplicity state.

The seemingly simple saber technique actually contained endless variations.

If he could combine it with the cultivation of the Blood Condensation Realm, it might have unexpected effects.
