No, You Don't Want To

"Should we attack? Flame Butcher doesn't look like she's in any trouble at all."

"We've already come this far. Do we still have a way out? She has so many valuable things on her—External Soul Bones, and those stones. If we get them, you all know what our future will look like, don't you?"

"That's right. We have no way back. We have to kill Flame Butcher."

"Fine, then kill her!"

As though she had not noticed the people lying in ambush, Qin Yun walked into the center of their trap and stopped.

That movement made everyone around her freeze.

"What's wrong? You've all set up your ambush, yet you still won't show yourselves?"

Qin Yun spoke coldly.

The next moment, figures appeared all around her and launched their attacks.

"A bunch of trash. Dragon Spear!"

With a thought from Qin Yun, a Dragon Spear emerged from behind her and flew into her hand. A wisp of red flame flickered at its tip.

"Argh!"

Everyone struck by the Dragon Spear immediately lost their ability to fight. They fell to their knees and wailed in agony before flames engulfed their entire bodies.

"Why? Why can you use your martial soul and soul skills?"

"This isn't a soul skill. Besides, I have no reason to explain any of this to you."

Qin Yun shifted her steps at blinding speed. In the blink of an eye, flames erupted from the bodies of everyone around her, and they died amid agonized screams.

The others witnessing this scene for the first time felt a chill run through them.

It was also their first time seeing Qin Yun use this move. She had even deliberately made those people die in pain.

Yet as they listened to the screams, the onlookers felt both chilled to the bone and strangely exhilarated.

It was an utter contradiction.

"Is there anyone else? If not, I'm leaving."

Qin Yun arrogantly challenged her surroundings.

When no one answered, she left alone.

The Asura King's female envoy, who had been watching from a distance, was deeply afraid of those flames as well.

"So this is the person Lord Asura King told me to watch? She truly has methods. Her mysterious techniques emerge one after another. Impressive."

"But why would my lord specifically look after this woman? Could she have some sort of relationship with him?"

As the envoy pondered this, a chill suddenly ran down her spine. She really was foolish—how dare she discuss her lord's affairs in private?

Was she tired of living?

With that thought, the envoy immediately left and began preparing other matters.

She still needed to arrange Qin Yun's upcoming battles, allowing her to defeat the others sooner and leave Slaughter City.

Perhaps that was Lord Asura King's intention.

Qin Yun, such a dangerous person, could not be allowed to remain here.

Time sped by, showing Qin Yun's ninety-first battle... ninety-third battle... and even her ninety-ninth battle.

Until her one-hundredth battle finally arrived.

Here, Qin Yun completely unleashed all her power.

In an instant, everyone else in the arena was defeated.

No one had expected Qin Yun to have been hiding such a trump card. She actually possessed two External Soul Bones, and they did not seem to be low-level ones.

When those wings spread open, they spanned ten meters. They were incomparably hard, capable of slicing through gold and stone with ease, and they were incredibly fast as well. Before some contestants could even react, the wings swept past them, severing their heads from their bodies.

Then there were the claws on her hands, which could pierce anything. With a swipe across a human body, they instantly cut it into four or five pieces that scattered across the ground. This time, they were truly in pieces, not merely a figure of speech.

The others in the arena had not expected Qin Yun to unleash all her strength only in her final battle.

It made them understand that there was an enormous gulf between them.

An impassable gulf.

"Argh!"

As the final fallen Soul Master in the battle died, Qin Yun claimed her one-hundredth victory.

She had earned the chance to leave Slaughter City.

What followed was much the same as Qin Li's experience.

The Asura King's envoy appeared and brought Qin Yun to meet Asura King Tang Chen.

She learned of the connection between them. Qin Feng had saved him and restored his consciousness, transforming him from the King of Slaughter in Slaughter City into the Asura King.

He had escaped his muddled existence and become the Asura God's divine servant.

He remained here, waiting for the person chosen by the Asura God.

In truth, the Asura God thought highly of Qin Yun. Unfortunately, the Evil God had previously bestowed a Divine Trial upon her, and she had rejected it.

Thus, the Asura God guessed that if he bestowed a Divine Trial, the result would likely be the same as the Evil God's, so he did not descend any further.

That way, he would not lose face.

"Go. Once you pass through the final path, you will truly leave Slaughter City and obtain Divine Slaughter's Domain. As for me, I must continue guarding Slaughter City."

"Thank you!"

The scene shifted, and Qin Yun had already left Slaughter City. Led by Gu Yuena and Zhu Zhuqing, she returned to the Nether Duke's Estate in the Star Luo Empire.

The moment she returned, Qin Yun sensed that the atmosphere in the Nether Duke's Estate was different.

Solemn and imposing, as though something was about to happen.

The people of the Zhu Clan in particular looked at her with unusual expressions in their eyes.

However, Qin Yun tossed all of that to the back of her mind. Right now, she only wanted to return to her father and mother's embrace.

During her years in Slaughter City, she had missed Qin Feng and Zhu Zhuyun the most.

"Father, Mother, I'm back."

Qin Yun threw herself into Qin Feng and Zhu Zhuyun's arms.

"Father, Mother, Yun'er missed you so much."

"Yun'er, you really suffered in Slaughter City. Let Mother see if you were hurt." Zhu Zhuyun carefully examined Qin Yun's body with concern.

"Don't worry, Mother. I'm fine. With the talismans Father gave me, I wasn't injured at all."

Qin Yun answered happily.

Seeing her parents again eased the gloom she had accumulated in Slaughter City.

Slaughter City truly was no place for people to stay.

Its effects on her still lingered even now.

"Whether you're hurt or not, I need to see for myself." Zhu Zhuyun ignored everything else and pulled Qin Yun over for an inspection.

"Father, Auntie, look at Mother. I said I'm fine, but she doesn't believe me."

"Yun'er, your mother is worried about you. She hasn't seen you for so long and wants to be closer to you."

Qin Feng explained with a smile.

"If your sister wants to look, just let her. She's worried about you too."

"Fine!"

Qin Yun let Zhu Zhuyun inspect her, but a happy smile appeared on her face. She still preferred days like this. Not even a dog would go to Slaughter City.

VIP Chatroom!

[Zhu Zhuyun]: What a happy family. Can I really have that too?

[Shui Bing'er]: Isn't that simple? Just marry Qin Feng. Besides, you'll soon have the memories. It would be best to find Qin Feng sooner rather than later.

[Huo Wu]: Exactly. If I were you, I would have gone looking for Qin Feng long ago. Being with Qin Feng has practically no downsides.

[Feng Xiaotian]: No, Huo Wu, you don't want that. Qin Feng isn't right for you. He will have countless beautiful women in the future, and his affection cannot be devoted to you alone. But I can. How about saying yes to me?
