Whoosh!

A whooshing sound rang out, and the next second, a pebble struck the head-carryer's scimitar, producing a crisp clang!

The immense force caused the man who was lifting the head to go numb in the arm and stagger back several steps.

The man carrying the head cried out in horror, "Who is it?!"

Chu Qingcheng suddenly opened her eyes, somewhat bewildered. How come she wasn't dead?

Just then, a cold voice rang out: "A dignified assassin like you actually has the nerve to bully a weak woman. What a disgrace!"

Upon hearing this sound, the person who lifted the head and Chu Qingcheng instinctively looked towards it.

A young man dressed in casual clothes walked slowly towards them. His eyes were calm, and he did not exude any special aura, just like an ordinary person.

But the man who was carrying the head suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, sensing an extreme danger. He instinctively gripped his curved knife tightly: "Who are you?"

Chu Qingcheng also looked puzzled. She didn't know Qin Ziling. Even though he had been engaged to her sister, she had never met him, so she was quite curious.

"Me? Of course, I'm the one who will kill you!" Qin Ziling smiled faintly, then glanced around and quickly spotted Chu Xinyue lying to the side. He was relieved to find that she was only unconscious.

"Hmph! Kill me? Many people have had that thought, but without exception, they have all been killed by me! Do you think you can kill me?" The decapitator scoffed.

Qin Ziling laughed and said, "The one who brought the head is an assassin on the assassin's list, with super A-level strength. What was his ranking again? Sorry, he's insignificant and I don't know much about him."

Upon hearing this, the man who had taken the head narrowed his eyes: "You know me?"

Qin Ziling said calmly, "If I don't know you, how could you possibly be worthy of my acquaintance?"

"Arrogant! Kid, based on your boastful words, today I will cut off your head!" The man carrying the head sneered, and then he rushed towards Qin Ziling at an extremely fast speed!

"Be careful!" Chu Qingcheng couldn't help but warn.

Qin Ziling ignored her and smiled calmly. In his eyes, her speed seemed to have slowed down several times.

The man carrying the head swung his hand horizontally, his curved blade slicing directly towards Qin Ziling's head, creating a gust of wind.

At that very moment, Qin Ziling suddenly made his move. He raised his hand and grabbed the other man's wrist, causing the man's curved blade to stop just a few centimeters from his neck. But those few centimeters were something the one who was about to take the head could not cross!

"How is this possible?!" The one who lifted the head couldn't help but be shocked. He had just used his full power, and even an ordinary A-level expert wouldn't be able to react to his speed. The fact that the other party had blocked his attack so easily was too much of a shock to him!

"Nothing is impossible. You think you're strong, but in reality, you're as weak as an ant!" Qin Ziling's lips curled into a disdainful smile as he stretched out his other hand.

The man who was carrying the head was shocked and quickly retreated, but Qin Ziling's hand seemed to have a suction force, directly gripping his neck.

The one who carried the head: "..."

Seeing the powerful head-bearer being manipulated like a child, Chu Qingcheng's beautiful eyes were filled with shock. Who exactly was this young man? Why did he possess such terrifying skills?

Since Qin Ziling had his back to her, his back view seemed somewhat familiar to her.

Have I ever met him?

"You..." The man who had been carrying the head turned red in the face and stared at him in disbelief: "You, who exactly are you?"

The person who could capture him so easily must be at least in the top twenty of the assassin rankings! Those monsters all possessed strength of S-rank or higher!

Qin Ziling did not answer him, but asked instead, "You all came here for the Philosopher's Stone, right?"

Upon hearing this, the man who had been carrying the head changed his expression drastically: "You know about the Philosopher's Stone?! You really are from the Dark World too!"

"I'm asking you a question!" Qin Ziling frowned unhappily and tightened his grip.

"Tell me, who spread this message?"

The man carrying the head said with difficulty, "I don't know. The news that the Philosopher's Stone is in the Chu family of the Dragon Kingdom was posted on the dark web by someone. Nobody knows who that person is."

"Is that so? Heh, it seems someone is deliberately targeting the Chu family! Interesting." Qin Ziling chuckled, then raised his other hand, revealing a crimson stone. He looked at the one who had brought the head with a mocking expression: "Do you know what this is?"

Upon seeing the stone, the one who carried the head froze for a moment, then his voice trembled: "This...this is...the Philosopher's Stone!!"

“That’s right, this is the Philosopher’s Stone!” Qin Ziling smiled faintly.

"It's actually... in your hands!" The man who carried the head looked at Qin Ziling in shock.

The next second, a ruthless glint suddenly appeared in his eyes, and the previously ignored curved blade stabbed directly at Qin Ziling.

"Not good!" Chu Qingcheng's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, but it was too late to warn her.

Go to hell!

The man who carried the head revealed a hint of excitement in his eyes. If he killed the other man, the Philosopher's Stone would be his!

However, he clearly underestimated Qin Ziling. The moment he drew his knife, Qin Ziling had already made his move, grabbing his forearm and snapping it with a sharp twist. With a crack, the man's arm broke off, and the curved knife fell to the ground.

"Ugh!!!"

The person who lifted the head felt the pain, and sweat instantly beaded on their forehead.

The next moment, Qin Ziling kicked him away, sending him flying seven or eight meters before he crashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The sudden reversal stunned Chu Qingcheng. She could hardly imagine just how strong Qin Ziling had become!

The person who carried the head was incredibly powerful. She estimated that even her father, Chu Renxiong, wouldn't be a match for him. In other words, his strength had reached the second-grade Innate Realm!
