They seemed to unleash some kind of secret technique, moving with incredible speed, and arrived beside Qu Bai and Li Muyi in the blink of an eye.
Both of them were already seriously injured, and even though they were on guard, they were still subdued in an instant.
Shen Qian watched this scene silently, without any reaction.
The two peak-level martial artists of the Mountain and Sea Realm flanked Qu Bai and Li Muyi, placing their weapons at their necks and sternly declaring, "Shen Qian, if you know what's good for you, surrender now, or else..."
Pfft! Pfft!
Before the two could finish speaking, a chilling sword light, like a startled swan from the heavens, flashed past their necks in an instant.
Their expressions froze on the spot. A moment later, the two heads rolled down. Under the sword energy that was so intense that it was impossible to dispel, the two heads did not dissipate. Instead, their expressions frosted over, and their ugly faces were forever frozen in time as they fell to the ground.
"What are you waiting for? Are you going to hold back against someone like this?"
A cold yet crisp sound rang out. If one ignored the scene of that sword strike just now, everyone would be incredibly curious about what kind of celestial beauty the woman who could utter such a clear and ethereal sound must possess!
Shen Qian silently looked up at the figure that appeared above Qu Bai and Li Muyi.
She was still wearing a black dress, her long sword gleaming like frost in her hand. Her clothes fluttered endlessly as her soul power surged, complementing her aloof and peerless beauty, making her seem like a fairy from the moon palace... no, it was as if she had always been here.
Shen Qian stared into her deep black eyes, as if trying to see into her heart. As he looked, Shen Qian suddenly smiled.
"I thought that once you retraced your path of heartlessness, you would never look at me again, but it turns out you still care about me so much."
With his soul power, Shen Qian naturally sensed that Tantai Qin was nearby. What truly pleased him was that Tantai Qin rushed towards him immediately, without even glancing at the dazzling "mountain of books".
At this moment, a hint of extreme anger could be seen in her icy eyes, clearly indicating her dissatisfaction with his earlier leniency.
If there's no intention, why show concern?
So he was actually quite happy before he went to bed.
Looking at Tantai Qin's stunningly beautiful face, Shen Qian subconsciously moved his gaze to her slightly upturned, full red lips, and inadvertently recalled Tianjing's passionate kiss, which made his heart flutter.
Tantai Qin was incredibly perceptive. The moment Shen Qian's gaze shifted, she clearly realized something. She couldn't help but bite her lower lip, her anger finding no outlet. Instead, her ears turned slightly red, and she was somewhat afraid to look Shen Qian in the eye.
"The way of killing and the way of being ruthless are two different things."
Tantai Qin tried her best to maintain her composure and spoke coldly.
Shen Qian ignored her sophistry and suddenly floated into the air, arriving in front of Tantai Qin.
"It's not that I'm soft-hearted, I'm just a little tired. I'm wondering... is there a way to solve this once and for all?"
While Tantai Qin was flustered, Shen Qian looked directly into her eyes and then reached out his hand, "Do something with me."
Tantai Qin was slightly taken aback, ignoring the hand Shen Qian offered, but nodded gently, "Okay."
Shen Qian smiled nonchalantly, reached out and forcefully grasped Tantai Qin's cool yet delicate hand in his palm, then turned and flew towards the "mountain of books".
Tantai Qin pursed her lips, but ultimately did not break free from Chen Qian's hand, letting him lead her away.
Just as she turned around, Tantai Qin flicked her longsword, and a sword light as round as the moon poured out. Dozens of feet behind her, the remaining three warriors had not yet recovered from their relief at surviving the disaster when their bodies froze on the spot again, and their three heads rolled to the ground.
Qu Bai, who had witnessed the whole thing, twitched at the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but mutter, "It's beautiful, but most people really can't enjoy it..."
"What, are you envious?"
Li Muyi, standing beside him, said coldly.
Qu Bai was initially stunned, wondering what had gotten into Li Muyi again, that her tone was so sharp. Then she realized that Li Muyi's inexplicable anger wasn't directed at her, but most likely at the person who had left in mid-air.
"Tsk tsk, no one would envy him..."
Qu Bai muttered to himself.
...
On the other side, Shen Qian and Tantai Qin walked side by side, their fingers still tightly intertwined, like the most intimate couple in the world. Under the bright sunlight, there was an inexplicable sense of romance.
At first, Tantai Qin couldn't quite accept the idea of holding hands, but for some reason, as she flew, she turned to look at Shen Qian's profile and became somewhat infatuated.
Shen Qian was unaware of what was happening, but he tightened his grip on Tantai Qin's fingers a little more and said softly, "A long time ago, I wondered why I seemed to be targeted by countless people no matter where I went."
"From the highest martial arts college entrance examination, to the later Nine Heavens War, and now the Sea of Learning... You even know what? I actually went to the ancient times once, and it was terrible. Basically, I was an enemy of all races. By the way, you were there too."
Tantai Qin gradually came to her senses. She knew that Shen Qian didn't need her to respond, so she just listened attentively.
“I used to think that martial artists must fight for their lives. Someone like me is always the center of attention, so it seems normal that I have enemies all over the world.”
Shen Qian said in a low voice, "But I suddenly realized that I also have my reasons. I have never explicitly told others that my temper is not actually that good... I always think that I should leave room for maneuver in my actions. Before I got the golden finger, I was used to working hard in silence. After I got the golden finger, I should be more steady to live up to this opportunity."
"Even in the heat of the battle of the Nine Heavens, I only broke most of the people's arms; I never intended to exterminate them all."
