Nascent Soul Experience Card, activated

A villain in the Golden Core Realm, and Hua Yunfeng's destined enemy at that.

He and Hua Yunfeng were bound to have an earth-shaking battle later on.

And a figure like him was bound to have many moments of glory before his rise. On his path to the top, he was bound to charge forward without faltering, unstoppable.

Had it been an ordinary character instead, he would probably have killed them here in an instant.

And after he killed them, they would not even be left with a good reputation.

But unfortunately for him!

Qin Yi was, after all, someone chosen by the system. If one asked who was stronger, a son of the system or a son of destiny, the system was undoubtedly stronger.

A son of destiny relied on luck, blessed with fortune and all manner of fortuitous encounters.

A son of the system relied on himself, obtaining things others could only dream of from the system. In both efficiency and power, he far surpassed a son of destiny.

Still, it was a lucky coincidence. Thank goodness I got three [Nascent Soul Experience Cards]!

Once used, those three [Nascent Soul Experience Cards] could instantly grant him the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm.

And he owed those three cards to having earned 100 affection points in Xu Xinran's heart.

Looks like if I want to leave nothing to chance in the future, I'll have to steal other men's loves more often.

Only by stealing other men's loves could he gain more benefits from the system. With more benefits, he would have no reason to fear sudden situations like this.

"The Golden Core Realm really is formidable."

Song Xianming stood behind Xiahou Tai. When Xiahou Tai unleashed his imposing presence, its pressure bore down on everyone indiscriminately.

Even his body hunched slightly under that pressure.

It was no wonder some elders said that all beneath immortals were ants.

A Golden Core Realm expert already possessed such overwhelming pressure. If an immortal were here instead, even Nascent Soul experts would probably have to prostrate themselves, not daring to raise their heads.

Xiahou Tai looked at his ten fingers, their nails sharp as swords. This was his ultimate trump card.

The Heavenly Demon Heart-Slaying Sword, derived from the [Heavenly Demon Dao].

Xiahou Tai had also studied the Famous Sword Sect's Five Elements Sword Art, but ever since obtaining the [Heavenly Demon Dao], he had believed that the Heavenly Demon Heart-Slaying Sword surpassed the Famous Sword Sect's Five Elements Sword Art in power.

"You said his Heavenly Secrets Sword Technique has already reached the level of Nine Stars Flash in Unison?" Xiahou Tai flexed his five fingers, and his nails gave off a sharp hum.

Song Xianming said, "That's right. This brat has already attained considerable mastery of the Heavenly Secrets Sword Technique."

"Very good."

Suddenly, killing intent took shape in Xiahou Tai's eyes. A blue halo spread over his fingers. He flicked a finger, and a streak of light shot straight toward Qin Yi to kill him.

Qin Yi dared not be careless. If he resisted with his own cultivation, he would certainly be killed on the spot.

Thus, after sensing Xiahou Tai's strength, he had already clasped a [Nascent Soul Experience Card] in his palm.

Each [Nascent Soul Experience Card] lasted only ten minutes. Following the principle of wasting nothing, Qin Yi had not used it immediately at the outset.

Now that Xiahou Tai had made his move, the time had come to use it.

[Confirm use]!

As he pressed down hard on the [Nascent Soul Experience Card] and confirmed its use with the system, boundless, surging magical power flooded into his dantian in an instant.

If his dantian had been a mere pond a moment ago, it had now abruptly become an entire West Lake.

A pond and West Lake-one was in the heavens, the other on the earth, separated by a heavenly gulf, as different as clouds and mud.

Bolstered by this power,

the streak of light Xiahou Tai had flicked out, which had originally seemed laden with killing intent and boundless sharpness to Qin Yi,

now looked slow and faint.

It was like a hundred-watt light bulb suddenly becoming a five-watt one.

Acting on what he sensed, he merely brushed his sleeve. A burst of Gang Qi erupted with a bang, shattering the incoming light into specks of starlight.

Once the Nascent Soul Experience Card is used, the Nascent Soul experience period begins immediately. I'm already equivalent to a Nascent Soul expert now!

"Hm?"

After unleashing his attack, Xiahou Tai saw that not only had Qin Yi survived, he had even dispersed the attack. His brows immediately furrowed, looking thoroughly surprised.

If Hua Yunfeng had blocked that blow just now, he would not have been surprised, because Hua Yunfeng possessed that strength.

But Qin Yi, a mere Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, could actually block it too?

Song Xianming also found it inconceivable, but he quickly thought of a reason. "Senior Brother Xiahou, this bastard must have some extraordinary treasure on him."

If not for a treasure, how could Qin Yi have blocked that attack?

Someone who rose as swiftly as Qin Yi must be regarded as a prized disciple by Gu Yanshan, the Dripping Water Sword of Emerald Bamboo Peak. Since he was a prized disciple, Gu Yanshan certainly would not let him die easily. Bestowing some magical treasures upon him was only natural.

"So that's how it is." Xiahou Tai found that reasonable. "Whatever treasure it is, it'll be mine in just a moment."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiahou Tai moved like a flash of lightning, thrusting five fingers forward in a killing strike straight at Qin Yi's heart.

Purplish-black mist wreathed his body. It was Heavenly Demon Qi.

Ever since obtaining the [Heavenly Demon Dao] three years ago, Xiahou Tai had abandoned the Famous Sword Sect's supreme arts and switched to cultivating Heavenly Demon Dao methods.

He still used the Famous Sword Sect's supreme arts on certain public occasions, but in private, every time he fought, he used Heavenly Demon Dao cultivation arts.

The Heavenly Demon Dao emphasized attack, both violent and bloody. With the same move, the Heavenly Demon Dao was more tyrannical, more frenzied.

"Die!"

Heavenly Demon Pierce!

If those five fingers, gleaming with an icy light, struck Qin Yi, his body would explode into a pile of minced flesh.

Xiahou Tai had long since mastered this move by heart. He had already used it to gouge out hundreds of people's hearts and kill them.

Clang!

"He's dead for sure." Song Xianming grinned, his eyes wide as he prepared to witness Qin Yi's death.

Xiahou Tai's five fingers tore through the Gang Qi in front of Qin Yi like splitting bamboo. Just as they were about to reach his chest, Qin Yi's right hand suddenly swept over and clamped around Xiahou Tai's wrist.

At the same time, hidden force erupted from Qin Yi's fingers, completely crushing the bones of his hand in an instant.

The crunching sounds were extraordinarily crisp.

Xiahou Tai felt a heart-piercing pain in his hand. When he tried to pull it free, he found that no matter how hard he pulled, he could not withdraw it.

His other hand suddenly stabbed forward as well.

Qin Yi's left hand swept over in turn, likewise catching him by the wrist. The moment he caught it, he crushed the bones of that hand.

Once again, crisp crunching sounds rang out.

"Ah..."

Xiahou Tai flew into a rage, roaring wildly.

Yet as Song Xianming watched this unfold, he felt something was a little strange.

Qin Yi suddenly knitted his brows and glared. Gripping Xiahou Tai's hands, he bent them savagely, actually snapping both of them clean off.

Blood immediately spurted from Xiahou Tai's wrists.
