The More Gloriously He Showed Off, the More Thoroughly His Act Fell Apart

"This is..."

Inside, the moment the necklace's power was awakened, Qin Han stirred.

"Something happened to Qingyan?!"

I had previously given her a necklace that could form a short-term shield in critical moments to minimize the possibility of danger.

Just now, he sensed that the power within the necklace had been activated.

This wouldn't happen unless it was a critical moment.

Just then, a slightly shrill cry for help drifted from afar.

Qin Han turned around abruptly and immediately set off.

But at this crucial moment, Hua Yunfan spoke up:

"Qin Han, it's probably too late for you to go now."

As she spoke, Hua Yunfan also activated her power, giving Qin Han a temporary respite.

"Elder Hua, what do you mean?"

Qin Han immediately became anxious:

"Qingyan came here with me, and now that he's in danger, how can I remain indifferent?"

Hua Yunfan didn't say anything about it, but instead reminded him:

"If you set off, you might reveal some information and attract unnecessary trouble. The prodigies of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty have been keeping a close eye on you."

Qin Han paused for a moment, then said:

"Could it be that Elder Hua's concealment methods couldn't fool him?"

Hua Yunfan didn't say anything more, but she was somewhat displeased.

This kid took all the good stuff, so I have to do all the troublesome work myself.

I've already died once, can't I at least enjoy some happiness?

At that moment, she dispersed the inner power that was restricting Qin Han.

Never mind.

So be it if it causes trouble.

Judging from the current situation, even if Qin Han gets there, he probably won't be able to save them.

Liu Qingyan does have the potential, but Qin Han clearly can't handle it. Having him by his side would only make him a good-looking burden.

Now that he's used up his resources, out with the old, in with the new. If he continues to be obsessed with Liu Qingyan, Qin Han might not be able to work hard to improve his strength.

While the two were exchanging thoughts, everyone's attention turned to the location where Qin Jiuxiao had made his move.

In Zither Sound Valley, while it couldn't be described as a harmonious and joyful place overall, at least there were no fights.

Qin Jiuxiao's actions, coupled with Liu Qingyan's screams for help, were hard to ignore.

"So they really have a way to save their lives?"

In mid-air, seeing that his attack had failed to kill Liu Qingyan, Qin Jiuxiao thought coldly.

They seem to have prospered after leaving their own side.

But that doesn't change anything.

At that moment, spiritual energy gathered around him once again, unleashing an even more astonishing power that once more targeted Liu Qingyan's location.

"Brother Han..."

On the ground, despite being surrounded by the light of the necklace.

However, the time was so short that it was completely insufficient to completely stop the previous force.

At this moment, blood was gushing from Liu Qingyan's mouth and nose, his entire face was covered in blood, and his breath appeared extremely weak.

Last time at Luo Zhen's camp, Qin Jiuxiao made several moves, but he didn't intend to take her life. Therefore, despite his limited strength, he was able to hold out for so long.

But this time, the killing intent in his attack was completely undisguised.

She could clearly sense that Qin Jiuxiao intended to kill her today.

In her dazed state, Liu Qingyan thought of Qin Han's appearance again.

Last time, when I fainted, Qin Han saved me.

This time, it will probably be the same, right?

In fact, Liu Qingyan was right.

At this moment, Qin Han was indeed rushing towards Liu Qingyan's location.

Just like the last time, it was a classic case of a hero saving a damsel in distress.

This time, however, Liu Qingyan did not fly, and her clothes remained intact.

Of course, besides these, there is one minor flaw.

The distance between the two is too great!

There is absolutely no possibility of rescuing someone in the blink of an eye, unless Qin Jiuxiao is willing to wait for Qin Han to arrive.

"The purple trend has passed; now, is black beginning to exert its power?"

Amidst the crowd, Lu Changzhi murmured softly.

Luck is truly a mysterious thing.

The reason for saying this is not because Qin Han is about to suffer the pain of losing his wife, Liu Qingyan.

It's something else entirely.

At this point, Qin Han's cover was blown.

The more impressive the boasting was just now, the more exposed the flaws are now.

You have to understand, based on that earlier display, even ten people could guess that the person's strength was definitely not weak.

But given Qin Han's current travel speed, it seems extremely abrupt.

It's too slow, ridiculously slow.

With a quick glance, Lu Changzhi noticed that many of the people looking at Qin Han now had expressions of suspicion on their faces.

Even more extreme, some voiced their opinions with speculation:

"Judging from this, all that commotion just now was fake?"

The confrontation and the request for help on one side, and the subsequent departure on the other, one after the other, make it hard not to suspect that there might be some connection between them.

But this speed and approach...

Putting everything else aside, with such strong Sword Intent, wouldn't it have been better to just unleash the sword directly? Why bother going there in person?

Going there in person wouldn't be a problem, but the speed...

Of course, under normal circumstances, if the trick is exposed, so be it; it's just a failed attempt to show off.

But now...

Based on his observations of Dai Tianfeng, Lu Changzhi was certain that Dai Tianfeng had also noticed it.

Perhaps, suspicions arose.

Otherwise, why would they also take action?

"While showing off does come at a price, I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."

Lu Changzhi gently shook his head.

Qin Han certainly has no shortage of rivals.

While Lu Changzhi was thinking, another astonishing loud noise came from Qin Jiuxiao and Liu Qingyan's side.

With this deafening roar, terrifying power surged forth from the necklace's radiant light.

Click.

The light lasted only a moment before it shattered with a deafening roar.

The remaining power was almost entirely poured onto Liu Qingyan's body.

Bang!

Liu Qingyan's clothes were instantly torn to shreds by the impact of such force, and his entire body moved with astonishingly smooth speed, leaving a shocking trench in the ground.

Fortunately, he didn't have to endure the delayed pain after sliding; he immediately lost consciousness the moment the force was unleashed.

This scene immediately shocked everyone around, while some people felt inexplicably angry.

To treat a woman so severely, what's wrong with this guy?

Moreover, and more importantly, they were watching perfectly well, and suddenly, everything was gone.

Of course, despite the anger, no one said anything in the face of such a madman's behavior.

"Given such a commotion, this girl is probably in grave danger."

Some people sighed inwardly, feeling a pang of regret.

Will Qin Jiuxiao wait for Qin Han to save people at the crucial moment?

Judging from that attack just now, it's clearly impossible.

Not only that, Qin Jiuxiao did not stop there and enjoy himself, but instead set off to follow them.

This action immediately sent chills down everyone's spine.

This person is determined to kill!

At this moment, Qin Han's figure finally approached.

When Qin Han saw the horrific scene on the ground below, his entire body stiffened abruptly.

It's hard to describe the shock it caused; in short, Qin Han's mind seemed to go completely blank for a moment.

Only after a moment did a single, deliberate word escape his lips:

"How... how... dare... to... touch... her!"

While he was speaking, Qin Jiuxiao had already arrived in front of Liu Qingyan.

He looked toward Qin Han, following the sound.

One above the other, both concealed, their eyes met across the obstruction.

The next moment, Qin Han's attention shifted downwards.

When he saw the area below Qin Jiuxiao's abdomen, above his thighs, and in front of his buttocks, his voice instantly turned icy cold.

It's you again!
