The Purple-clothed Girl and the White-clothed Girl

The sky was cloudless, the scorching sun blazing.

Outside Qingzhou City.

Qin Shuang carried a long, wrapped bundle on his back, with Chen Qinglang beside him and over a dozen elites of the Azure Dragon Society, all racing toward the distant Xuan Yin Mountain Range.

"Hall Master Chen, which parts of the Xuan Yin Mountain Range might have Strange Beasts?"

Qin Shuang stopped on a slope, looking at Chen Qinglang beside him as he asked.

"Reporting to Hall Master, Strange Beasts are scarce; only deep within the Xuan Yin Mountain Range might there be some. However, in the depths of the mountains lurks a Strange Beast King with strength comparable to the Divine Wheel Realm. If we encounter that kind of Strange Beast King, we won't be able to escape at all!"

"Last year, when I ventured deep into the mountains, I came across a Strange Beast advancing to become a Strange Beast King. If it hadn't been chasing someone else at the time, and since it had just advanced, I'm afraid I would have died already!"

Chen Qinglang, recalling that encounter a year ago, still felt a lingering fear.

If he had to do it again, he would never go back.

"The depths of the Xuan Yin Mountain Range are that terrifying!"

Qin Shuang's eyes flickered, then a thought struck him, and he asked, "Where did you get that Silver Slip?"

"That Silver Slip... it was that time, picked up in the Strange Beast King's cave."

Hearing Qin Shuang's question, Chen Qinglang cupped his fists in reply.

"Picked up in a Strange Beast's cave?!"

"When the time comes, take me to look around near the Strange Beast King's den!"

Qin Shuang said, his mind stirring as he spoke.

He felt that good things were guarded by Strange Beasts, and he decided that once his strength was sufficient, he would go and confront this Strange Beast to see if there was anything else in its cave.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Just then, a series of terrifying explosive blasts of energy rang out from the forest in the distance!

The explosions drew closer, heading toward Qin Shuang and the others.

Qin Shuang looked over and discovered that the explosions were caused by two graceful women locked in battle!

Both women were around twenty years old. One wore purple clothes and wielded a Long Silk. The other wore white clothes with a white veil covering her face and held a Long Sword. Behind each of them appeared a Light Wheel about ten feet wide, with layered Halos around the edges.

The Light Wheel behind the woman in purple was crimson; the one behind the woman in white was cyan!

The auras of the two women were polar opposites—one like a seductive enchantress bewitching the world, the other like a Fairy descended from the heavens to the mortal realm!

Their toes lightly touched the treetops as they almost glided through the air. Every clash between the energy beams from the Long Silk and the sword light unleashed terrifying destructive force, grinding trees within ten zhang into dust!

"This... this is a Divine Wheel Realm battle?"

Qin Shuang watched the two women fighting, heading his way, and was greatly startled. He immediately shouted to Chen Qinglang and the others, "Get out of the way!"

Qin Shuang knew clearly.

If they didn't dodge.

Even he, under this terrifying energy, would surely die!

Qin Shuang executed Grass on Flying and instantly dodged to the side.

Chen Qinglang and the dozen or so Azure Dragon Society elites also scattered to the side.

The two battling women, seeing that there were people here, glanced at Qin Shuang and the others, then passed one after the other, speeding away overhead and disappearing into the distance.

"Hall Master, those two women... their strength is terrifying!"

Chen Qinglang withdrew his gaze, his eyes filled with shock.

"Mm."

Qin Shuang nodded, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

The strength of these two women was evenly matched, but it was certain that they far surpassed Nangong Wan'er!

Because Nangong Wan'er's Divine Wheel only had two layers of white Halos, and Situ Rui also had two layers!

But these two battling women had at least seven or eight layers of Halos on their Divine Wheels!

If you can't find the book by title, try searching by the author; maybe it just changed names!

"They're not much older than me, yet they have such terrifying cultivation!"

"But I have the Simplification System; soon enough, I'll definitely catch up to them, or even surpass them!"

Qin Shuang watched the two women's disappearing figures, silently thinking to himself.

Qin Shuang was silent for a moment, then composed himself and said to Chen Qinglang, who was still in shock, "Let's go."

Right now.

Qin Shuang only wanted to enter the Xuan Yin Mountain Range as soon as possible, to grind up his martial arts, and to find more Strange Beasts to increase his Qi and Blood.

"Yes, Hall Master!"

Chen Qinglang nodded, called to his elite subordinates, and headed into the Xuan Yin Mountain Range.

Each of these subordinates carried a large bundle in their hands, filled with alchemy furnaces, materials for refining Tiger Blood Pills, salt, and seasonings. Qin Shuang planned to hunt fierce tigers in the mountains and refine the Tiger Blood Pills on the spot, striving to simplify his Tiger Roar Divine Intent Skill to perfection as soon as possible.

Five days later.

A hundred li into the Xuan Yin Mountain Range, beneath a smooth, mirror-like cliff, Qin Shuang had his men dig out a cave. He sent Chen Qinglang to capture wild boars and tigers while he lived in the cave, imitating tiger roars, refining Tiger Blood Pills, stepping on green grass, catching dragonflies... simplifying his martial arts.

[Blood Rage Saber Art (Great Accomplishment)]

[Simplification: Kill over a hundred enemies, consume a thousand Tiger Blood Pills, can reach perfection]

Just as Qin Shuang swallowed his hundredth Tiger Blood Pill, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

A stream of information surged into his Sea of Consciousness, containing the techniques, methods, and insights for executing the Great Accomplishment realm of the Blood Rage Saber Art!

At this moment, Qin Shuang felt as if he had been training the Blood Rage Saber Art for twenty years!

Scenes of various Blood Rage Saber Art techniques flashed through his mind!

At the same time, A terrifying surge of Qi and Blood heat appeared in Qin Shuang's Dantian, instantly sweeping through his entire body, nourishing his flesh and bones!

This was the enhancement of his physique from the Qi and Blood boost brought by the Blood Rage Saber Art's ascension to the Great Accomplishment realm.

This Qi and Blood was vast and boundless. Qin Shuang activated the Tiger Roar Divine Intent Skill, channeling this surge of Qi and Blood to the golden bone in his chest, continuously pouring it in!

The Tiger Roar Divine Intent Skill moved Qi and Blood at great speed!

Time passed.

A quarter of an hour later.

The Qi and Blood boost from the Blood Rage Saber Art's breakthrough to Great Accomplishment was fully used by Qin Shuang to nourish his bones. He found that the golden bone in his chest had grown a full circle larger than its original pigeon-egg size!

"Not bad!"

"Next step is to break through the Tiger Roar Divine Intent Skill!"

Satisfaction gleamed in Qin Shuang's eyes.

"Hall Master, Hall Master Jin has sent a message via Divine Eagle!"

Just then, footsteps sounded from outside, followed by Chen Qinglang's voice.

"Enter."

Qin Shuang said in a deep voice.

Chen Qinglang strode in quickly, holding a wax scroll in his hand, and respectfully handed it to Qin Shuang.

Qin Shuang took the wax scroll, crushed it open, and read it for a moment. His brow furrowed slightly as he said, "Pass the order. We're moving to another location."

"Yes!"

Chen Qinglang acknowledged without further questions, turning to carry out the order.

Watching Chen Qinglang leave, Qin Shuang's expression gradually darkened.

The letter was from Jin Shisan.

Since yesterday, several unfamiliar faces had appeared in Qingzhou City. Among them, a domineering young man carrying a saber had searched the Fusheng Restaurant and asked about him. Another young woman, veiled in white gauze and carrying an ancient sword, was also inquiring about his whereabouts.
