"Ah! Damn it! Damn it all, you all deserve to die for injuring me so badly!"

After shaking off the mud, Qin Yi crawled out of the ground, the fiery red power on his body had not yet faded, and the Martial Spirit Crimson Water Scorpion behind him dimmed a little.

He hadn't anticipated Qin Xin's territory. Although he had prepared a defense when Qin Xin began to integrate his martial arts attacks, the ripples caused by the rising and falling energy during the explosion almost completely broke through his defenses.

Fortunately, Qin Xin's strength was not great. If Qin Xin had been a Qi Sea Realm expert, the consequences of using this move would have been unimaginable.

Enduring the excruciating pain emanating from his body, Qin Yi's eyes blazed with fury. At this moment, he only wanted to do one thing: kill Qin Xin immediately. Qin Xin had surprised him far too much. If he were allowed to grow, he might even threaten Qin Haotian's position in the Qin Clan of Zhongzhou. He would not allow such a thing to happen.

"You all should die!"

Qin Yi's eyes flashed with a fierce light. As he moved swiftly, black light appeared on his palm, drawing a streamline in the air.

"Qin Xin! Get out of the way!" Seeing Qin Yi attack again, Shui Qingxi immediately activated her Water Cloud Silk to try to pull his body away, while she herself stood in front of Qin Xin.

But it was too late. Qin Yi's attack was aimed at killing, and even if Shui Qingxi defended with all her might, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand this blow.

"boom!"

Dust billowed up, and just when Ouyang Jie and his son thought that Qin Xin's attack had killed Shui Qingxi, what happened next terrified the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group members so much that they couldn't even hold their weapons for a moment.

"Miss! Commander Liu Lin has come to guard!"

After the smoke and dust cleared, a clear voice came from a young man kneeling on one knee.

The young man was dressed in a suit of armor that shimmered with delicate light. The sword and blade scars on the armor clearly showed that he had been through many battles. At this moment, he knelt quietly on one knee in front of Shui Qingxi, waiting for the woman's instructions.

Shui Qingxi didn't speak immediately, but went forward to check Qin Xin's injuries. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Qin Xin was still able to stand on his own.

"Liu Lin, take them all down!" Shui Qingxi ordered.

Seeing Shui Qingxi's attitude towards Qin Xin, Liu Lin's eyes showed a change, but he quickly concealed it and replied, "I will obey Miss's orders!"

Liu Lin stood up, his powerful aura instantly surging forth. He then turned to look at Qin Yi, who was on guard, and roared, "You people from Zhongzhou! Why do you dare to attack me so casually in Zhennan Prefecture of the Eastern Wilderness!"

"Commander Liu, I am a member of the Qin clan of Zhongzhou." Qin Yi was somewhat wary of Liu Lin's strength, so he quickly introduced himself.

Upon hearing that Qin Yi was from the Qin clan of Zhongzhou, Liu Lin's attitude changed somewhat, and he said, "In that case, you may leave."

Seeing that Liu Lin let Qin Yi leave so easily, Shui Qingxi didn't say anything, but instead rushed to heal Qin Xin's injuries.

After Qin Xin recovered a bit of his internal energy, he noticed that Liu Lin's attitude towards him was somewhat different, as if she regarded him as a rival in love. After letting Qin Yi leave, Liu Lin deliberately glanced at Qin Xin, seemingly as if she was provoking him.

Because of his spiritual sense, Qin Xin, with his cultivation at the Spirit Travel Realm, had already sensed that Liu Lin had arrived when Qin Yi appeared. However, he had remained hidden and had not made a move until he saw that Shui Qingxi was in danger, at which point he came to stop her.

Qin Xin could easily see through Liu Lin's little tricks, but since the other party had come to help, Qin Xin did not expose him. Instead, he quickly restored his internal energy and repaired the damage to his meridians caused by the explosion.

Qin Yi, being a shrewd person, didn't hesitate and immediately left the Qin Clan Manor. Shui Qingxi didn't say anything. Although Qin Yi's strength was slightly higher than this Qin Yi's, if Qin Yi was determined to escape, she couldn't stop him. It was better to let him leave; that would make dealing with the others easier.

Ouyang Jie and Ouyang Chuixue were dumbfounded. They did not expect that the people from Zhennan Prefecture would arrive so quickly. Now, their collusion with the forces of Zhongzhou was a foregone conclusion, and there was no way to deny it.

Just as the two were about to flee, Liu Lin smiled contemptuously, took out the longbow from his back, bent down and shot an arrow.

With two cries of pain, Ouyang Chuixue and Ouyang Jie fell to the ground. The arrow had pierced through their dantian, but had not killed them.

"Miss, what should we do with these two?"

After Liu Lin dealt with the two, he stood in front of Shui Qingxi and asked her a question.

"Do whatever you want with it." Shui Qingxi waved her hand, seemingly unconcerned about the life or death of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group members, and instead focused her attention on Qin Xin, who was recovering.

Liu Lin also noticed Shui Qingxi's gaze. When he looked at Qin Xin, his eyes showed a hint of disdain, completely looking down on Qin Xin's cultivation at the eighth level of the Awakening Realm.

Liu Lin turned around and walked to Ouyang Jie and Ouyang Chuixue. With a wave of his bare hand, powerful Yuan energy swept out, blood spurted out, and the two were decapitated.

After killing the two men, Liu Lin deliberately brought their heads to Qin Xin, carrying a threatening air about him.

"Liu Lin! What are you doing!" The heavy smell of blood made Shui Qingxi frown, somewhat puzzled by Liu Lin's actions.

"Sister Qingxi, Commander Liu is also helping my Tianyuan Qin Clan." Qin Xin smiled as he saw the two heads, and casually released two fire blades. The heads exploded and were burned into powder by the scorching flames, which then drifted away with the wind.

"Oh? That's quite a bold move!" Liu Lin couldn't help but praise Qin Xin, who was so young yet showed no fear in such a situation.

"Thank you!" Qin Xin bowed to Liu Lin in front of him and expressed his gratitude.

Before Liu Lin could make any other move, an angry roar rang out over the Qin Clan Manor.

"Ah! Jell! Fubuki! You deserve to die!"

Ouyang Yu, who was fighting with Elder Mo, also sensed the deaths of Ouyang Jie and Ouyang Chuixue. He went berserk and charged directly towards Qin Xin's direction despite Elder Mo's continuous attacks.

Seeing Ouyang Yu charging towards him, Liu Lin made no move, a smile playing on his lips, as if he were quite pleased to see Qin Xin die. He even stood in front of Shui Qingxi, preventing her from protecting Qin Xin.

"Liu Lin! Protect Qin Xin!" Shui Qingxi exclaimed in alarm.

However, Liu Lin did not step forward, but instead led Shui Qingxi to the side.

"Liu Lin!" Shui Qingxi shouted angrily, but it did not make Liu Lin change in any way.
