"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Violent impacts echoed through the passageway leading to the training room.

Everyone looked toward the passage, where countless streams of black energy were emanating outwards.

"Oh no, that thing is about to come out."

Qin Xue exclaimed in surprise, clearly knowing the terrifying nature of this mysterious creature from the inheritance. Moreover, in order to seal this mysterious creature, the master of this palace also perished, thus leaving behind this inheritance.

Sensing the change in the passage, Qin Qianbei's laughing face suddenly froze, but he did not stop and continued to attack Qin Xin and the others.

"Bang!"

In just a moment, Qin Xue was sent flying by Qin Qianbei's powerful attack. Blood from her mouth arced through the air, and her martial spirit, which had been transformed by true energy, dissipated instantly.

Although Mao Ruijin struggled to hold on, her clothes were torn in several places by Qin Qianbei's palm strike, revealing glimpses of her private parts. Mao Ruijin's delicate eyebrows were slightly raised, and the beauty mark at the corner of her mouth drooped slightly.

Under Qin Qianbei's powerful attack, Mao Ruijin staggered backward and fell to one knee.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Qin Qianbei snorted and moved swiftly, instantly standing in front of Mao Ruijin. Before Mao Ruijin could defend herself, she was struck in the chest by a palm strike.

With this blow, Mao Ruijin immediately lost her fighting ability and began to accept her fate. Qin Xue, who was lying on the ground on the other side, was cursing.

At this moment, Qin Xin, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly opened them, a sharp glint flashing in his pupils.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Xin's aura suddenly surged. Although he had only opened two main meridians, his aura was no less than that of a ninth-level Innate Realm cultivator.

Qin Xin's sudden surge in aura surprised Qin Xue and Mao Ruijin. They hadn't expected that Qin Xin had been hiding his strength all along.

In fact, all of this was because Qin Xin handed over control of his body to Dan Qing. Dan Qing's spiritual body was already powerful, so Qin Xin's aura would also surge.

"This body is a bit weak, but it's more than enough to deal with you."

Qin Xin's body is currently being controlled by Dan Qing, but Dan Qing keeps complaining in his heart that Qin Xin's physique is too poor.

"Kid, learn well!" Danqing said softly to Qin Xin, then rushed towards Qin Qianbei.

Qin Xin carefully sensed the flow of true energy within his body, which seemed to be perfectly natural, fully stimulating all the potential within his body.

"Crimson Flame Blade!" With a soft shout, several golden flame blades condensed in his left hand, while his right hand used the flames of life to condense a three-foot-long staff.

"Playing tricks! You're asking for death!" Qin Qianbei sneered as he saw Qin Xin dare to charge directly at him.

Qin Qianbei once again mobilized his true energy, and a red dagger appeared in his hand, gleaming with a chilling light, just like a scorpion's stinger.

"Scorpion sting!"

Qin Qianbei gave a soft shout, and the red dagger in his hand plunged straight into Qin Xin's chest.

"Still too green!"

Qin Xin let out a mature sigh, his body slicing past Qin Qianbei's attack at an odd angle. Several golden, crimson flame blades in his left hand shot towards Qin Qianbei's vital points, while his friend's long staff plunged straight into Qin Qianbei's acupoint.

"puff!"

Several streams of blood dripped through the air, and the intense pain caused Qin Qianbei to scream loudly.

"ah!"

Heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the training room.

Qin Qianbei clutched his injured chest and lower back, blood still seeping out, writhing on the ground in pain.

"My father is an elder of the Qin clan's Enforcement Hall. If you dare to kill me, Qin Xin, you will die too!" Qin Qianbei wailed.

"I'm a little tired, I'll leave the rest to you." Controlling Qin Xin's body made Danqing somewhat exhausted.

The moment Danqing withdrew her control, Qin Xin felt completely exhausted. His true energy in his dantian was completely drained. Without any hesitation, he quickly took out several Qi-restoring pills and swallowed them.

After the Qi-restoring pill entered the mouth, it instantly transformed into several powerful medicinal forces. The martial spirit quickly absorbed the medicinal forces, forming a vast amount of true qi.

"However, the teacher's move was a bit underhanded," Qin Xin remarked to Danqing after regaining control of his body.

"That's called combat skill. As long as you can win, why worry about so much?"

Danqing's annoyed voice echoed in his mind.

"Thank you, teacher."

Sensing Danqing's weak voice, Qin Xin knew that this action had had a significant impact on him. If it weren't for a life-or-death crisis, Qin Xin would never have let Danqing put himself in danger.

"You brat, I'll be so grateful if you can be less disobedient to your teacher in the future."

Danqing replied indifferently.

With his true energy in his dantian slightly restored, Qin Xin moved his body and a three-foot-long black staff slowly appeared in his hand. However, at this moment, Qin Xin's aura had returned to the second level of the Innate Realm.

Unable to get up from the ground, Mao Ruijin and Qin Xue were puzzled by the change in Qin Xin's aura, but they didn't think too much about it. They were both staring intently at Qin Xin, waiting to see what he would do next.

Qin Xin, holding a black staff formed from condensed true energy, walked step by step toward Qin Qianbei.

"Don't kill me, I'll give you anything you want."

Qin Qianbei panicked when he saw Qin Xin approaching, because he sensed killing intent.

"If you knew this would happen, why did you provoke me in the first place?"

With a smile on his lips, Qin Xin shook his head slightly and plunged the black stick in his hand directly into Qin Qianbei's chest.

The powerful true energy rushed into Qin Qianbei's body through the wound, shattering all his internal organs.

Qin Qianbei died at the hands of Qin Xin, and even in death he did not understand why he would die at the hands of someone called a "useless person".

~~~~~~

At the very moment Qin Qianbei died, a million miles away in Zhongzhou...

Inside a magnificent and grand pavilion, a jade plaque was shattered.

"Who killed my son!"

"I, Qin Huangdao, will surely slaughter your entire clan to avenge me!"

A roar echoed throughout the entire attic.

~~~~~~

"Qin Xin, I'm your sister! You won't kill me to silence me, will you?"

Seeing this bloody scene, Qin Xue felt a little scared. When she saw Qin Xin walking towards her, it was as if she were seeing a god of death.

Qin Xin stopped and looked at Mao Ruijin again, occasionally catching glimpses of her exposed skin.

Mao Ruijin remained remarkably calm in the face of Qin Xin, unlike Qin Xue who was shouting and yelling. Her delicate eyebrows twitched slightly, and the beauty mark at the corner of her mouth lifted gently. The Fire Silk floated directly onto Qin Qianbei's corpse, transforming into a streak of red flame.

In the blink of an eye, only ashes remained on the ground.

"Qin Qianbei's status is extraordinary. If this is discovered, we'll all be in deep trouble," Mao Ruijin said calmly after handling everything.

"Looks like we're all in the same boat." Qin Xue struggled to sit up, took out a robe from her spatial bracelet, draped it over Mao Ruijin, and rolled her eyes as she did so.

It was as if it was telling Qin Xin, "Have you seen enough?"

Seeing Qin Xue's expression, Qin Xin smiled awkwardly and quickly looked away. Mao Ruijin also realized that she had exposed herself, and her face turned red. She quickly put on her robe.

Qin Xin was not a murderer, but he was by no means indecisive either. Reality taught him that in this world where the strong are respected, being soft-hearted would lead to his death.

"This black mist?"

Qin Xin noticed that the black energy in the passage was about to flow into the training room, and the passage was also vibrating constantly, as if something was about to rush out.
