The Fifth Life Gate

The Black Dragon Protector is dead!

Upon hearing Qin Guan's words, everyone's expression changed drastically, finding it hard to believe. The Black Dragon Protector was killed by Qin Guan?

"Impossible! How could a mere Fourth Realm Martial Cultivator like you kill the Black Dragon Protector?" Zhao Zhijian roared.

"There are many impossible things," Qin Guan said, shaking his head. He ignored Zhao Zhijian and looked at Nan Yunqi. "Father-in-law, did these people attack the Nan Family?"

Nan Yunqi quickly nodded. "Yes! If it weren't for these scumbags ambushing us, we wouldn't be in such a sorry state, with so many brothers dead!"

Looking at Nan Yunqi and the others behind him, Qin Guan noticed they were all quite injured, and many were lying on the ground, clearly having gone through a fierce battle.

A moment later, Qin Guan turned around and suddenly spread his five fingers, pointing them at Zhao Zhijian and the others.

"Actually, I really don't like killing people, but you forced my hand. I'm truly helpless about it."

"Hahaha!" Hearing Qin Guan's words, Zhao Zhijian burst into laughter. "With you, a Fourth Realm Martial Cultivator, killing nearly a hundred people on our side? This is the most... I've heard this year."

BOOM!

As Zhao Zhijian was speaking, a terrifying green energy suddenly erupted from Qin Guan's body, with a green vortex spinning rapidly in his palm.

"You, what kind of sorcery is this!" an Elder from the Cloud Mist Sect exclaimed in shock.

Zhao Zhijian's pupils contracted. "Life Gate! You're a Fifth Realm Martial Cultivator!"

Qin Guan's expression remained unchanged. The green vortex in his palm suddenly generated a terrifying suction force, as if it would devour everything, incredibly horrifying!

"Ah! Ah!"

Zhao Zhijian and those closest to Qin Guan were directly pulled in by the powerful suction force. Their eyes widened in terror, their hands flailing uselessly in the air, trying to grab something to stop their forward movement.

The group behind Zhao Zhijian also met the same fate, one by one, they were rapidly pulled towards Qin Guan.

The suction force grew stronger and stronger, the surrounding air seemed to be rapidly drawn out, emitting a sharp whistling sound. Even those dozens of feet away from Qin Guan couldn't escape the pull towards his palm, all being sucked in!

Their cultivation was too weak to resist this powerful suction force.

Watching the mountain of people piled up in front of Qin Guan, the family forces hiding far away, watching the show, secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, they hadn't acted impulsively before!

The fifth gate of a Martial Cultivator, the Life Gate, was a heaven-defying technique that could seize the vitality of all living beings.

Once the Life Gate was opened, a Martial Cultivator's self-healing ability would increase at a terrifying rate. Whether it was external or internal injuries, the healing speed of wounds, and damaged internal organs and meridians would be rapidly treated. Even severed limbs could be reconnected and regrown.

At this moment, Qin Guan turned to Jia Quan and Nan Chang. "Come here."

Hearing this, the two quickly scrambled up and came before Qin Guan. Qin Guan opened his other hand towards them. "Life Return!"

As the words fell, boundless life force surged into Jia Quan and Nan Chang's bodies.

The two immediately felt their entire bodies enveloped by a powerful, warm force. Inside their bodies, gentle streams of power seemed to shuttle rapidly, healing their injuries wherever they passed.

"Ah, it's... it's growing back!"

Looking at the site of their severed limbs, it was as if living seeds had taken root and grown there. Muscles, bones, and meridians extended and intertwined at a visible speed. Jia Quan and Nan Chang's eyes widened.

On the other side, Zhao Zhijian and the others' vitality was rapidly dissipating. Their skin began to loosen, their hair turned white, and their bodies visibly aged at an alarming rate.

"Qin Guan, release us quickly, ah!"

"Qin Guan, may you die a terrible death!"

"Qin Guan, forcibly stealing life force like this will incur divine retribution!"

Zhao Zhijian and the others realized their vitality was rapidly draining and cursed Qin Guan in terror.

"What divine retribution? I'm clearly punishing evil people. This is a good deed. If heaven wants to punish me for this, then heaven is blind."

Qin Guan remained unfazed and looked at Nan Yunqi and the others. "Come over, everyone with missing limbs or injuries, hurry up and come here. Opening the Life Gate once is very tiring."

"Son-in-law, my leg is injured!"

"Son-in-law, someone stabbed me in the stomach!"

"I..."

In an instant, people from the Nan Family and Heavenly Treasure Pavilion all rushed over.

"Quick, carry them over!" Nan Yunqi hurriedly helped Nan Rou and Nan Qiao carry the severely injured disciples of the Nan Family over.

"Don't push, don't push! You're pressing on my wound!"

Everyone scrambled desperately towards Qin Guan.

"Someone help this old man, someone help this old man..."

Chen Guanxiang lay on the ground, desperately trying to call out. Even speaking took a lot of effort; he was too severely injured to move.

"Elder Chen, I'll help you."

Just then, a gentle voice came. Nan Rou had returned.

"Eldest Young Lady, you are truly a living Bodhisattva! Thank you!"

Hearing Nan Rou's voice, Chen Guanxiang was immensely grateful, almost crying. At this moment, he realized that when one is old and unable to move, one truly needs others to take care of them.
