Quest Complete, Two Levels Gained

Chapter 31: Quest Complete, Two Levels Gained

This made people wonder, who won this exchange?

Crack!

Suddenly, a branch snapped from a large tree. On the tree where the figure who had been sent flying had stopped, a black silhouette suddenly appeared.

It was Wu Sancai!

Wu Sancai's complexion was considerably paler now, and his aura was extremely unstable. However, his expression was incredibly excited.

Especially when he looked at the dirt pit on the ground, he burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Qin An, you've finally fallen to my Wu Sancai!"

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

A few extremely weak coughs came from the dirt pit. The figure within struggled a few times but couldn't get up.

However, this struggle revealed the person's face – it was Qin An.

Although he wasn't dead, Qin An's condition was quite perilous.

His strength was already not at its full potential, and in this exchange, he had been severely wounded by Wu Sancai.

Furthermore, he had previously used all the Innate Inner Qi that suppressed the poison within him to unleash the Phantom Fist, creating ten afterimages. As a result, his poison had flared up again.

This could be seen from his somewhat greenish-black complexion at the moment.

However, he wasn't without gains. At the very least, Wu Sancai had been heavily wounded.

Wu Sancai was quite excited at the moment. Although he was also injured, seeing Qin An's miserable state made him forget his own injuries. He suddenly laughed heartily at Qin An, "Haha, Qin An, you're dead for sure this time!"

Wu Sancai's words were not an exaggeration. In Qin An's current state, even if he didn't make a move, Qin An wouldn't live much longer.

But thinking of how Qin An had toyed with him earlier, a flash of rage appeared in Wu Sancai's eyes.

"Hmph, even if you die, Qin An, you will die by my palm!"

With a cold snort, Wu Sancai prepared to descend from the tree and finish Qin An with a palm strike.

But just then, a figure suddenly appeared beneath the large tree where Wu Sancai was.

Moreover, it was unclear what movement technique the figure had used. With just a flash, they were instantly in front of Wu Sancai. To Wu Sancai's astonishment, the figure's right hand trembled slightly, and a silver blade light flashed past.

Not good!

Facing the suddenly appearing figure, Wu Sancai felt a sense of dread. Especially when a silver light flashed, all the hairs on his body stood on end, and a chilling sense of death permeated his entire being.

Wu Sancai had only experienced such a feeling of impending death when he encountered a high-level third-tier Demonic Beast.

Years of rich experience made Wu Sancai react instantly.

Dodging was impossible, so his only option was to defend.

With a flash of black light on his hands, Wu Sancai prepared to use his strongest weapon, his pair of Black Poison Hands, to block the silver light attack.

He was confident that his Black Poison Hands, which he had practiced for thirty years, could block this strike.

Unfortunately, his confidence was misplaced!

Whoosh!

The silver light flashed, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.

This was followed by two thud sounds.

The silver blade light, as if piercing thin paper, passed through Wu Sancai's proud Black Poison Hands without any obstruction. It then shot directly towards his Dantian in the abdomen, pierced through his body again, and continued towards the depths of the forest behind Wu Sancai.

"Pfft!"

Spitting out a mouthful of black blood, Wu Sancai's eyes widened in disbelief.

"How is this possible?"

Trembling, he raised his hands and looked at the two bloody holes on them, his eyes filled with disbelief.

His proud Black Poison Hands had been so easily broken?

And not only that, but the silver blade light had also directly shattered his Dantian, causing the Innate Poison Qi he had cultivated for years to rapidly dissipate into nothingness.

Without his poison-attacking Innate Inner Qi, Wu Sancai was in dire straits.

His poison cultivation technique required him to consume large amounts of poisons to transform his body into a poisonous physique. Therefore, the "Black Hand Butcher," as outsiders called him, was not just his hands but his entire body was filled with poisons.

The reason he hadn't died from poisoning himself was because of the special Innate Poison Qi he had cultivated.

As long as he had Innate Poison Qi in his body, even if his body was highly poisonous, it wouldn't harm him.

But now, with his Dantian shattered, all the Innate Poison Qi in his body had leaked out.

Without his poison-attacking Innate Inner Qi, the toxins within Wu Sancai's body erupted. Simply put, he was now poisoned countless times over and was definitely going to die.

This could be seen from his increasingly dark skin color at the moment.

Feeling his imminent death, Wu Sancai was filled with sorrow. He had never imagined he would meet such an end.

This made him look up, wanting to see who it was that had caused him to suffer such a tragic fate.

But when he saw the figure on the large tree opposite, his pupils instantly widened, his face filled with disbelief.

It was him!

How could this be possible?

He was merely a martial artist at the Houtian First Layer, how could he unleash such a powerful move?

After clearly seeing who delivered the final blow, Wu Sancai suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha, I never expected that after decades of being the Black Hand Butcher, I wouldn't die at the hands of a powerful enemy or a vengeful foe, but instead fall to a mere child in his teens. This truly makes me unwilling to accept it!"

"Truly unwilling!"

Amidst his laughter, the blackness spread faster and faster across Wu Sancai's skin, quickly turning it completely black. With a final cry, Wu Sancai's body suddenly trembled, instantly exploding into a pool of black liquid.

The dignified Black Hand Butcher actually poisoned himself to death. This could be said to be a huge joke, or perhaps he got what he deserved!

Ding dong!

"System prompt: Congratulations to Player Qin Shaofeng for successfully killing a Xiantian Martial Master. As this is Player Qin Shaofeng's first time killing a Xiantian Martial Master, and it was an over-level kill, the system has specially rewarded 100 Points and 5000 Experience!"

That's right, the one who suddenly appeared and delivered the final blow to the heavily injured Wu Sancai was none other than Qin Shaofeng.

As for why Qin Shaofeng was there, it was all part of his plan for a surprise attack.

After parting ways with Qin An, in order to carry out his surprise attack plan, Qin Shaofeng deliberately distanced himself from Wu Sancai's line of sight, then stealthily crept back, hiding to observe the battle between Qin An and Wu Sancai.

During this time, Qin Shaofeng almost couldn't resist intervening to help Qin An on multiple occasions when he was in danger.

But he remembered that the enemy was Wu Sancai, and even with him joining, they still wouldn't be able to defeat the opponent.

To successfully kill Wu Sancai, he could only wait for an opportunity.

Finally, the opportunity Qin Shaofeng had long awaited arrived.

Under Qin An's full power burst, Wu Sancai was finally injured.

And upon seeing Qin An's miserable state, Wu Sancai completely let down his guard.

It was precisely at this moment of Wu Sancai's complete relaxation that Qin Shaofeng suddenly appeared, unleashed the skill he had just learned, Wudang Cloud-Treading Steps, leaped forward, and before Wu Sancai, released the Little Li Flying Dagger he had prepared long ago.

This time, the Little Li Flying Dagger Qin Shaofeng unleashed was different from before.

To ensure no mistakes, Qin Shaofeng cruelly decided to use all 1200 points of Inner Qi to unleash the Little Li Flying Dagger.

Even to maintain his Inner Qi at full capacity, Qin Shaofeng had consumed the only two three-star Qi Replenishing Pills he had on him during this time.

It could be said that this was Qin Shaofeng's strongest attack burst so far.

Under such a powerful attack, Wu Sancai finally died with regret.

Of course, it was also fortunate that he was heavily injured by Qin An. If it were when Wu Sancai was at his peak, even if he stood still, with Qin Shaofeng's current strength, even his full-power Little Li Flying Dagger wouldn't be able to break through Wu Sancai's Black Poison Hands.

After all, the defense of a Xiantian Martial Master was not something a Houtian Martial Artist, who only possessed Houtian Inner Qi, could compare to.

There was a huge difference between Xiantian Inner Qi and Houtian Inner Qi!

Hoo!

Finally dead!

Watching the pool of black liquid continuously flow down from the tree, corroding the entire tree and dripping to the ground, Qin Shaofeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although his surprise attack seemed incredibly simple and smooth, only he himself knew the danger involved.

Even though Wu Sancai was heavily injured, with his Xiantian Martial Master realm, once he faced Qin Shaofeng, even if Qin Shaofeng wasn't instantly killed, it would only take a few moves at most.

However, fortunately, everything ended as smoothly as Qin Shaofeng had predicted.

What surprised Qin Shaofeng even more was that killing Wu Sancai had also earned him an additional reward from the system: 100 Points and 5000 Experience.

Qin Shaofeng noticed this situation as well, because the system also indicated that this was not an ordinary over-level kill, but an over-tier kill, and it was the first time, so a slightly larger reward was understandable.

"5000 Experience? Then that means..." Suddenly remembering something, a sharp glint flashed in Qin Shaofeng's eyes, "That means I can level up again?"

As soon as he spoke, Qin Shaofeng heard a ding dong system prompt.

"System prompt: Congratulations to Player Experience reaching the upgrade requirement. Player Qin Shaofeng's Level has been raised to Houtian Fifth Level!"

Haha, I really leveled up!

Hearing the system prompt and feeling his Inner Qi instantly recover, Qin Shaofeng was overjoyed.

But this wasn't the end. Since he had killed Wu Sancai, his quest was also considered complete.

"Congratulations to Player Qin Shaofeng for completing the Three-Star Quest 'Kill the Black Hand Butcher Wu Sancai', receiving a quest reward of 10000 Experience and 500 Points!"

"System prompt: Congratulations to Player Experience reaching the upgrade requirement. Player Qin Shaofeng's Level has been raised to Houtian Seventh Level!"

With 10000 Experience, Qin Shaofeng's level increased by another stage, reaching Houtian Seventh Level.

Player: Qin Shaofeng

Inner Qi: 1500/1500 (Houtian Seventh Level has 500 Inner Qi, Yi Jin Jing adds triple)

"Hmm, not bad. Not only did I reach the Houtian Seventh Level, but I'm also only 1000 experience points away from Houtian Eighth Level. This harvest was truly massive."

His Inner Qi instantly filled up upon leveling. Qin Shaofeng, who had been somewhat fatigued from intense concentration, had also recovered somewhat.

Looking at his status interface, Qin Shaofeng smiled with pleasure.

Jumping up two levels like this naturally put Qin Shaofeng in a good mood.
