Disappearance

The jade talisman contained a life-saving Spiritual Power, but Su Lie was sent flying before he could even crush it.

Too fast, Qin Guan's speed was simply too fast, and Su Lie hadn't expected Qin Guan to suddenly make a U-turn.

"Ah! You audacious wretch!"

Seeing his beloved disciple's head severed by Qin Guan's sword, Yan Rong in the air roared to the heavens, his eyes splitting with rage.

The next moment, Yan Rong suddenly appeared above Qin Guan's head. He rapidly formed sword seals with both hands, and behind him, an energy sword radiating terrifying power silently condensed. In just a moment, the energy sword had grown to a frightening dozens of feet long!

"Raging Sword Tsunami!"

Yan Rong roared, clapping his palms together forcefully towards Qin Guan.

In an instant, the dozens-of-feet-long energy sword, carrying terrifying energy, split down towards Qin Guan like a bolt of white lightning.

"Retreat!"

Qin Guan flicked his sleeve, and a gentle force pushed everyone behind him far away.

At this moment, the energy sword in the air slashed down with a roar.

Boom!

Accompanied by a massive roar, uncontrolled energy currents instantly swept out in all directions, raging wildly. For a time, sand and stones flew, and thick smoke billowed.

Everyone looked towards Qin Guan's location with horrified eyes, but the field was filled with smoke, and nothing could be seen clearly.

As the smoke slowly dissipated, everyone found only a huge crater where Qin Guan had been. Bloodstains were everywhere on the ground, and the person was gone.

"Hahaha, he's dead, that little beast is finally dead!" a disciple from the Xiao Family exclaimed excitedly.

"Elder Yan's sword just now was world-ending. That fool actually stood there and tried to block it head-on. It's no wonder he died!" Nan Shunda sneered disdainfully.

"He wasn't trying to block it head-on; he simply couldn't dodge it!" Nan Yuantong said with a cold laugh from the side.

On a distant rooftop, Elder Xu shook his head regretfully. "What a pity. If he hadn't been trying to save those people from the Nan Family, he might have been able to dodge that sword."

"How could this be?"

Jiang Lianyue murmured, unable to believe that Qin Guan would die so easily.

"Husband! Husband!"

Nan Rou ran to a pile of rubble and frantically dug through the stones with her hands. A body could be faintly seen among the gaps in the rubble.

"Brother-in-law!"

Seeing that someone was buried under the stones, Nan Qiao also rushed to help dig.

"Quick! Hurry and help!" Nan Yunqi roared at everyone.

Soon, a bloody and mangled headless corpse was dug out by everyone.

"Haha, he's even lost his head. Good riddance, wonderful!" Seeing the Nan Family members surrounding a headless corpse, an Elder from the Xiao Family clapped his hands in delight.

"Nan Yunqi, your good son-in-law is dead. Let's see how arrogant you can be now?" Nan Shunda suddenly burst into loud laughter.

"That's not my husband; that's Su Lie!" At this moment, Nan Rou suddenly said.

With Nan Rou's reminder, everyone finally remembered that Su Lie had his head severed by Qin Guan's sword earlier, and his body had fallen in this very spot.

If it wasn't Qin Guan, then where did Qin Guan go?

Seeing Nan Rou searching everywhere for Qin Guan as if she had lost her soul, Chen Guanxiang comforted her, "Eldest Young Lady, please don't worry. Young Hero Qin couldn't possibly have been killed by that sword."

Back in the secret realm that day, the power Qin Guan unleashed when sparring with Li Zang was far stronger than Yan Rong's sword strike just now.

"Elder Chen, then where did my husband go?" Nan Rou asked urgently.

Chen Guanxiang looked up at the sky and said, "Didn't you notice that Yan Rong is also gone? Young Hero Qin must have gone after him."

Only then did everyone realize that Yan Rong was also missing.

"A joke. Qin Guan is going after Elder Yan? A Fourth Realm Martial Cultivator chasing a Fifth Realm Sword King? He's practically begging for death?" Nan Shunda scoffed coldly from afar.

Hearing this, Chen Guanxiang looked at the Xiao Family members and cursed, "You bunch of scumbags, you've been spewing sarcastic remarks the whole time. I've had enough of you!"

Speaking of which, Chen Guanxiang turned to Nan Yunqi and said, "Patriarch Nan, these people clearly want to take revenge following the Spirit Sword Academy. In my opinion, why don't we eliminate them all right now!"

As soon as he said this, the Xiao Family members glared at Nan Shunda. With Elder Yan not present, wasn't this idiot provoking them and asking for death?

Nan Shunda's old face looked as if he had eaten shit. He almost forgot that without Yan Rong present, they were nothing compared to the current Nan Family...

"Chen Guanxiang, I didn't expect you to be here too." Just then, a group of cultivators in blue robes appeared not far away.

Everyone turned to look and found it was people from the Cloud Mist Sect!

"Zhao Zhijian!"

Seeing the old man at the forefront, Chen Guanxiang's face suddenly contorted in ferocity.

"Hi, two little ladies, we meet again!" At this moment, two youths suddenly smiled and greeted Nan Rou and Nan Qiao who were not far away.

Nan Rou and Nan Qiao's faces immediately turned ugly. These two were precisely Jiang Long and A Liang who had tried to insult them that day.

"Which one is Qin Guan? I heard you're going to personally meet our Cloud Mist Sect. Come! Let this old man see what gives you the confidence?" Zhao Zhijian said with a smile as his gaze swept over everyone.

Hearing Zhao Zhijian's words, the Xiao Family members rejoiced. So the Cloud Mist Sect was here to settle scores with Qin Guan.
