Crushing Him Again, No Release!

Seeing Qin Luo stand there so righteous and stern, everyone felt somewhat dazed, as if the Qin Luo before them were a champion of justice defending Great Qin's laws.

"I'll give you one chance. Fight me. If you win, I can let you leave alive. Otherwise, you only have one road left to choose—the road to death!"

No matter what happened today, he was determined to obtain the Origin Essence of the Five-Elements Spirit Body within Lin Xuan.

Boom! Qin Luo took a step forward, and the powerful aura of the Ninth Layer of the Divine Ability Realm bore down on Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan froze, then a surge of wild delight rose in his heart. If a Great Saint Realm expert attacked him, he might not stand a chance. But Qin Luo? This time, he would definitely make Qin Luo understand that Lin Xuan was no soft persimmon to be squeezed.

His previous defeat had been nothing but an accident!

Lin Xuan did not hesitate. He charged out at once, a damaged battle saber appearing in his hand and emanating dense Saint might.

"A Saint Artifact?" Su Qianchen frowned. His aura remained firmly locked onto Qin Luo. If the slightest accident occurred, he would immediately intervene and save Qin Luo.

"Suppress!" Qin Luo casually tossed out the Taixu Bell, sending it smashing toward Lin Xuan.

Who didn't have a Saint Artifact?

Besides, he had more than one!

The Soul-Beating Whip appeared in his hand, and he lashed it viciously at Lin Xuan.

Crack! The explosive sound resounded in Lin Xuan's mind, leaving his entire body dazed for an instant.

Strike while he was sick and take his life!

Qin Luo unleashed a sword strike—the Rainfall Without End of the Four Symbols Sword Technique!

A rain of swords howled down from the sky. Its might moved quite a few people.

Watching this scene, Qin Yun had to admit that this younger brother who had suddenly appeared was frighteningly talented.

"Perfect Sword Force!"

Bang! The two collided. Taixu Bell against Broken Blade ended in a draw, while the Soul-Beating Whip left Lin Xuan in a daze. By the time he recovered, another saber had appeared in his hand, clashing with Qin Luo.

Instant defeat!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Countless wounds appeared across his chest. Had he not cultivated the Indestructible Golden Body Art, that blow alone would have rendered him incapable of fighting.

After landing steadily on the ground, Lin Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and glared at Qin Luo with a twisted expression.

"That was only the beginning. Next, I'll let you know just how powerful I, Lin Xuan, truly am!"

Whoosh! His body moved like lightning, as though he had hidden himself within darkness. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived before Qin Luo. A black iron fragment appeared in his hand, causing an intense sense of danger to rise in Qin Luo's heart.

"The aura of an Emperor Weapon! Open the Human Emperor Banner!" Xi Huang's warning rang beside Qin Luo's ear.

"So you really do have a trump card?"

With a thought, he opened the Human Emperor Banner.

Boom! The figures of the two men blurred, shrouded within a layer of mist.

One piercing sound after another rang beside Lin Xuan's ears.

"Heh heh heh!"

"Stay here with us forever, won't you, little brother?"

"Little brother, this servant girl is very good at serving people."

As for Qin Luo, Lin Xuan could no longer see him.

"Leave the rest to me."

The Emperor Weapon Fragment was an incomparably lethal weapon to Qin Luo, but to someone like Xi Huang, who had once touched that threshold, it was merely so-so.

The moment Xi Huang acted, her powerful soul instantly locked onto Lin Xuan, and his expression changed at once.

He roared, "Qin Luo, you have no martial virtue! We agreed to a one-on-one duel, yet you actually had a Saint Realm expert attack me!"

Lin Xuan had seen many Saint Realm experts and was exceptionally familiar with their aura. The soul aura Xi Huang revealed at this moment was unmistakably that of the Saint Realm.

Only a Saint Realm expert could suppress him so effortlessly.

"Heh..." Qin Luo's cold laugh echoed beside Lin Xuan's ears.

"I can only tell you that this is merely one of my weapons. Though I, Qin Luo, am no righteous man, I disdain deceiving someone who is about to die."

Bang! Lin Xuan was smashed brutally into the ground. Bewitching voices rang beside his ears, and he seemed to see resentful women one after another, constantly gnawing away at his soul and essence blood.

The Emperor Weapon Fragment flew from his hand and fell under Xi Huang's control.

Lin Xuan's eyes widened. As the inheritor of an Emperor Realm expert, he naturally knew that even an Emperor Weapon Fragment possessed immense power.

For a Saint Realm expert to take the Emperor Weapon Fragment from his hand so easily was simply unbelievable.

"There is actually a powerful attack sealed within it." Xi Huang's surprised voice rang out.

"Moreover, this Emperor Weapon Fragment can even..."

Xi Huang clenched her hand hard, and the Emperor Weapon Fragment that had been trembling moments ago instantly fell still.

"Not bad, not bad. A mere Divine Ability Realm cultivator can control an Emperor Weapon and even make it self-destruct. Unfortunately, you met me."

Xi Huang's words struck Lin Xuan like a thunderbolt.

Pfft! He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura instantly became weak and listless.

That was far more than an Emperor Weapon Fragment! It was the core of an Emperor Weapon!

This was the forbidden object under his control, a weapon capable of slaughtering Saint Realm experts.

"It has a certain compatibility with my Great Dao." As she spoke, Xi Huang cast Qin Luo a bewitching glance.

"Take it, take it!" Qin Luo said generously.

It was only a tiny fragment. Besides, what was hers was his; she herself was his. What was wrong with letting her keep it for him?

Bang! Qin Luo stepped on Lin Xuan's body. The Human Emperor Banner was withdrawn, and everyone saw that Lin Xuan had been suppressed.

"I gave you a chance. What a pity—you just weren't good enough!"

Qin Luo held his longsword against Lin Xuan's throat.

At this moment, Lin Xuan felt utterly humiliated.

[Extreme humiliation. Lin Xuan lost 100000 Fortune Points. Host obtained 100000 Fortune Points.]

Tsk tsk, truly worthy of being a Child of Destiny. His Fortune Points were dropping in torrents!

Whoosh! The sound of something breaking through the air rang out, and a middle-aged man appeared in the courtyard.

He gave Su Qianchen a slight bow. "I am Li Chang of the Myriad Phenomena Sacred Land. Greetings, Saint Su."

"Lin Xuan is a successor of my Myriad Phenomena Sacred Land. Might Saint Su give my Myriad Phenomena Sacred Land some face?"

"On another day, my Myriad Phenomena Sacred Land will surely come bearing generous gifts to express our gratitude!"

Su Qianchen gave him a cold glance, then shifted his gaze to Qin Luo. "Everything will be decided by my grandson."

Li Chang also turned his gaze toward Qin Luo. "Ninth Prince, please show mercy. Regarding today's matter, my Myriad Phenomena Sacred Land will surely give you an explanation."

Qin Luo sneered. "That fellow nearly killed me just now. An explanation? What are you going to use to explain it?"

The Myriad Phenomena Sacred Land and Taixu Sacred Land were both sacred lands, but the gap between them was enormous. The Myriad Phenomena Sacred Land possessed Saint King Realm experts, while the Taixu Sacred Land did not.

Qin Luo had dealt with people from the Myriad Phenomena Sacred Land before. He had not expected Lin Xuan to be a successor of the Myriad Phenomena Sacred Land.

Then what was he doing in the Imperial Capital? Why had he joined the Demon Suppression Bureau? It seemed he had some scheme in mind!

"And..." Qin Luo's lips curved slightly. "A sect disciple joined the Demon Suppression Bureau of my Great Qin Imperial Dynasty. Tsk tsk, I'm afraid there's some conspiracy involved here!"

"As a prince of the Imperial Dynasty, I will investigate this thoroughly!"

"So, he cannot be released!"

The moment Qin Luo finished speaking, a voice sounded from outside.

"Deputy Commander Chu Heng of the Great Qin Demon Suppression Bureau has arrived!"

A powerful aura descended as Lu Cang and Chu Heng strode in from outside.

Chu Heng first gave Su Qianchen a slight bow. "Chu Heng greets Saint Su."

Then his gaze fell upon Qin Luo, and he said calmly, "Lin Xuan concealed his identity as a disciple of the Myriad Phenomena Sacred Land and joined our Demon Suppression Bureau. This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

"Commander Lu, take Lin Xuan away!"

"Yes, sir!" Lu Cang strode toward Qin Luo.

Was this an open and blatant attempt to snatch him away?

Heh heh...

Qin Luo laughed. "Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan, I never expected your backing to be almost on par with mine!"

"For a moment, I can't even tell who the hell is the protagonist!"

His sword remained at Lin Xuan's throat, with no intention whatsoever of moving it away. Looking at Lu Cang, he said flatly, "The man beneath my sword is not someone you can take away."
