The guard, at the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm, used his blood-red dagger to attack in extremely tricky ways.
Fortunately, Qin Xin, relying on his spiritual perception, dodged the blood-red dagger at an extremely tricky angle the instant it stabbed towards his waist.
The moment the several cyan fire blades in his hand materialized, Qin Xin threw them out and retreated rapidly.
"boom!"
A huge fireball exploded and rose into the dense forest. Fortunately, the place Qin Xin had led the two to was relatively hidden and difficult for outsiders to discover.
After the flames subsided, the guard at the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm stood with his hands behind his back, the blood-red dagger in his hand constantly releasing Yuan energy, forming a blood-red battle armor that looked extremely strange.
After Qin Xin stopped, he dared not underestimate his opponent.
A martial artist at the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm has very strong self-preservation methods, and if the opponent is determined to escape, it will be difficult for Qin Xin to catch up.
After several rounds of fighting, the guard at the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm gave a wink to the guard at the third level of the Yuanfu Realm beside him, seemingly intending to inform the Murong Clan.
The two of them originally thought that Qin Xin was just a kid at the second level of the Yuanfu Realm, and that he could easily deal with him with his essence.
However, after exchanging blows, it was discovered that Qin Xin's strength was far beyond that of an ordinary second-level Yuanfu Realm martial artist.
Qin Xin stood still, watching the two's subtle movements, and naturally knew what they were thinking. At this moment, he would not let the two leave.
If these two were allowed to leave, Murong Fu would likely become more wary, which would inevitably affect Qin Xin's future plans.
After learning that there was an inner chamber in the tomb of the Old Man of the Fire, Qin Xin was somewhat tempted. After all, it was the inheritance of a martial artist of the Earth Profound Realm. If he obtained it, even if he did not follow the path of the Old Man of the Fire, some of the cultivation insights could still be of great use to him in his future cultivation.
Moreover, this Old Man of the Fire is rumored to possess a strange fire, and his tomb has been opened multiple times without anyone finding any trace of it. Therefore, it's highly likely that the strange fire is located within the inner chamber.
Seeing that the guard at the third level of the Yuanfu Realm was about to escape, Qin Xin smiled and instantly gathered ten cyan-red flame blades in his hand, throwing them directly at him.
At the same time, above Qin Xin's head, a cyan and crimson fire blade was slowly condensing.
As the martial arts intent of a low-level Earth-rank martial art was released, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth was directly stirred up.
After Qin Xin unleashed this low-level Earth-rank martial art, the guard at the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm had his initial wariness turn into terror.
At this moment, he dared not hold back any longer. His Yuan Power surged instantly, revealing his cultivation level of the sixth level of the Yuan Mansion Realm. The blood-red blade in his hand suddenly emitted a dazzling blood-red light.
As the massive cyan fire blade fell from the sky, the guard at the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm also charged out.
Qin Xin's target was not the guard at the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm. After a ray of light flowed in his hand, the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword appeared, surrounded by Azure Rock Fire.
He charged directly toward the Yuanfu Realm Level 3 guard where the ten crimson flame blades had exploded.
The guard, who was at the third level of the Yuanfu Realm, had already suffered greatly from the explosion of Qin Xin's ten Crimson Flame Blades. The intense heat from the explosion directly ignited his hair.
Fortunately, he was prepared and had mobilized his energy to fully activate the spirit of the cyan shield before the fire blades rushed in.
Even so, it still suffered some internal injuries from the shockwave generated by the explosion of the fire blade.
Before he could turn and flee, Qin Xin, wielding the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword, had already arrived.
"not good!"
The guard, who was at the third level of the Yuanfu Realm, exclaimed in surprise.
However, it was too late. The guards, who were at the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm, were busy resisting Qin Xin's low-level Earth-rank martial art, Wildfire Hundred Slashes, and had no time to come to their aid.
"Pfft!"
In an instant, as if without any hindrance, the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword pierced through the chest of the third-level Yuanfu Realm cultivator.
In the instant it was withdrawn, the sword energy surged out, directly shattering his dantian.
The guard, a third-level Yuanfu Realm cultivator, lay on the ground with eyes full of resentment and regret, his internal organs spilling out from the wound in his chest.
On the other side, a sixth-level Yuanfu realm martial artist was using a blood-red dagger to fight Qin Xin's Earth-rank martial art, Wildfire Hundred Slashes.
The instant the cyan fire blade exploded, the crimson armor around him suddenly shone with a bright crimson light, and several mysterious and complex patterns seemed to light up directly.
"Martial Spirit Mark?"
Qin Xin, who was preparing to make another move, noticed the change in the blood-red dagger in the other's hand and knew that the other party had activated the Martial Spirit Rune.
However, the moment the opponent unleashed the Martial Spirit Rune, the blood energy around his body seemed to begin to decrease continuously, as if the activation of the Martial Spirit Rune required blood energy to sustain it.
"Sizzle... sizzle..."
With the enhancement of the Martial Spirit Rune, the blood-red dagger cleaved a vacuum zone directly from the flames of the massive cyan fire blade after its explosion.
The guard at the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm was right in that vacuum zone and seemed to have been completely unaffected by the explosion.
Seeing this, Qin Xin dared not be careless. The martial spirit pattern of that guard at the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm was extremely strange. This was the first time he had ever seen such an ability.
The Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword stood horizontally in front of him. After the infusion of Yuan Power, Azure Rock Fire flowed around the sword. At the same time, the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern was also directly activated by Qin Xin.
The Yuanli armor that originally surrounded him had now transformed into a blue-red winged armor—the Heavenly Phoenix Armor.
After the guard, who was at the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm, cleaved through the flames of the explosion, a blood-red aura flowed around him, making him appear extremely eerie. Furthermore, the blood-red dagger in his hand was constantly vibrating.
A cold, murderous glint suddenly flashed across his lips as he charged towards Qin Xin.
Qin Xin calmed his mind and, with a flourish of the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword in his hand, directly used the Sword Control Form from the Eight Sword Techniques.
The Sword Control Technique, one of the eight sword styles, had never been used in actual combat since Qin Xin completed its training. Now, forced by this guard at the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm, he had no choice but to use this trump card.
With the enhancement of his swordsmanship, Qin Xin's black robes fluttered without wind, and a vast amount of Yuan energy mixed with sword intent flowed around his body.
In the instant the blood-red dagger approached, Qin Xin pointed directly at it with the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword in his hand.
The dagger, which had been moving like a streak of light, suddenly stopped.
"How could this be!" The guard, who was at the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm, was filled with fear.
His attack was something even some martial artists at the ninth level of the Yuanfu Realm couldn't withstand, and it was also his strongest trump card. Yet, it was easily blocked by a sword casually swung out by the young man in front of him.
Little did Qin Xin know that during Qin Xin's casual wave of his hand, a trace of sword intent from the Sword Control Technique had already been released. Such sword intent is generally only comprehended by martial artists after they have entered the Dharma Aspect Realm, so the guard at the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm in front of him naturally could not understand it.
"Conceal your strength and prepare for a powerful strike!"
With Qin Xin's soft shout, the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword in his hand suddenly shone with a bright blue light.
"Click...click..."
The blood-red dagger that was locked in combat began to crack under the fierce energy impact, and then shattered.
Without further support from elemental energy, the blood-red dagger disintegrated.
Unimpeded, the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword directly attacked the guard at the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm.
"Ah!...No..."
With a howl, the head of the guard at the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm exploded, and his originally powerful aura instantly dissipated.
A martial artist at the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm perished in a dense forest.
Qin Xin wiped away the bloodstains on the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword with some disdain. Afterward, he removed the spatial rings of the two guards and put them directly into the mysterious fragment space, handing them over to Dan Qing to deal with the soul imprint on the flight attendant's ring.
