From the moment the Tiger Soul awakened, I became invincible.

Chapter 120 Killing Liu Yan'er, Obtaining the Treasure

Before Zhao Longhu could say anything after hearing Qin Wu's words, Liu Yan'er looked at Qin Wu and laughed. Her smile carried a hint of disdain. She was a candidate for the Holy Maiden of the Three Yin Sect; even as a candidate, it meant she possessed extraordinary talent. Moreover, Qin Wu looked even younger than her. Under such circumstances, how could she possibly believe Qin Wu had sufficient strength? Therefore, she found Qin Wu's words utterly ridiculous.

Then Liu Yan'er looked at Qin Wu and said, "Little brother, I'm not someone you can mess with. A child your age should go home and drink milk."

Without even glancing at Qin Wu, she turned her gaze to Zhao Longhu and said, "Brother Zhao, we've known each other for a while now. This young man is so ignorant and unreasonable. In my opinion, it would be best to take him back to Tianwu Mountain and educate him properly. I'll take my leave now, and if we meet again in the future, it won't be too late to continue our friendship."

Liu Yan'er no longer intended to attack Qin Wu and Zhao Longhu. Although she genuinely looked down on Qin Wu, she understood that his mere presence here was proof enough. His presence here indicated he possessed considerable strength. After all, this was the temporary headquarters of their Three Yin Sect, home to many powerful individuals. The Three Yin Sect had just encountered some trouble, and many members had gone to the front lines to handle it. While she didn't understand the nature of the trouble, Qin Wu's appearance at this moment undoubtedly represented something significant.

Therefore, even though she looked down on Qin Wu, she still had some reservations. If Qin Wu had already opened up many acupoints, and with Zhao Longhu added to the mix, even if Zhao Longhu couldn't bring himself to kill her, the danger was still self-evident. Under these circumstances, the best outcome was naturally to leave now, and it wouldn't be too late to kill the two of them later if given the chance.

However, upon hearing Qin Wu's words, Zhao Longhu's expression became even more complicated, even showing some hesitation. Then, he said to Liu Yan'er, "Liu Yan'er, you underestimate my junior brother. Although he is young, his strength is not necessarily inferior to mine, and may even be superior. If it weren't for his support, I probably wouldn't be here today; I would have been killed by the Three Fiends of Qianzhou long ago."

He didn't say whether he intended to harm Liu Yan'er, but simply uttered these words. Upon hearing this, Liu Yan'er's expression changed slightly, and her gaze towards Qin Wu became wary. She knew Zhao Longhu wouldn't lie to her about this matter, meaning that the danger here wasn't Zhao Longhu, but rather this young man before her.

Although Zhao Longhu was very strong, she was certain that if he attacked her, it was because he was hesitant to unleash his full power. Therefore, she was confident she could gain the upper hand in their conflict. However, if this young man truly possessed greater strength than Zhao Longhu, and judging from his demeanor, he clearly harbored strong killing intent towards her, then other problems could very well arise, something she absolutely could not accept.

Liu Yan'er gave a somewhat stiff smile, then said, "Brother Zhao, are you joking? This young man doesn't look very old, how could he possibly have such strength?"

Liu Yan'er's mind raced as she considered various possibilities. At the same time, she spoke to Zhao Longhu, hoping to buy some time and find a turning point for a breakthrough.

Zhao Longhu took a deep breath and then said to Qin Wu, "It's my fault for being useless. Even now, I can't bring myself to attack Liu Yan'er. But junior brother, as a disciple of Tianwu Mountain, if you have the ability, please kill her here."

At this moment, Zhao Longhu had figured everything out. Indeed, Liu Yan'er had no feelings for him whatsoever, and most importantly, her existence could potentially threaten his sect. If things continued this way, he would undoubtedly become a sinner to his sect. But he couldn't bring himself to do such a thing, so his only hope was that Qin Wu's strength was formidable enough.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wu's lips curled into a faint smile. He had initially hesitated to intervene, as it could severely strain his relationship with Zhao Longhu. Although he didn't care, they were still fellow disciples, and avoiding conflict under these circumstances was naturally the best course of action. Now, however, Zhao Longhu didn't seem so foolish after all.

Then Qin Wu looked at Liu Yan'er with an icy expression, and walked towards her step by step, while the Tiger King Blade in his hand was already drawn.

Seeing Qin Wu's actions, Liu Yan'er's face turned ugly, and a chilling killing intent flashed in her eyes: "Little brother, you don't really think you have the ability to kill your older sister, do you?"

Although there was some apprehension in her voice, she ultimately relaxed somewhat after hearing that Zhao Longhu wouldn't intervene. So what if Qin Wu was stronger? She had only just broken through to the next level; under these circumstances, she might not necessarily lose. Besides, as long as Zhao Longhu didn't make a move, this kid in front of her had no chance of stopping her.

Therefore, a faint disdain appeared in her eyes. This was the territory of their Three Yin Sect. Putting everything else aside, as long as they could delay for a while, the other disciples of their Three Yin Sect would naturally rush over, and then these two would surely die without a burial place.

Hearing Liu Yan'er's words, Qin Wu laughed. He didn't even bother to reply, moving with lightning speed towards Liu Yan'er, appearing before her in the blink of an eye. Seeing Qin Wu's speed, Liu Yan'er's expression changed drastically. This speed far exceeded her expectations. Only now did she truly understand what Zhao Longhu had meant. Qin Wu's strength was far more terrifying than she had imagined.

Fortunately, Liu Yan'er was confident in her abilities. Without hesitation, she launched three hidden silver needles at Qin Wu. She knew these needles wouldn't pose a significant threat, as they were already exposed, but they were enough to buy her a moment's time. If she could buy that time, she could kill him. As she expected, Qin Wu dodged the needles a split second later. Simultaneously, a pair of mandarin duck swords appeared in Liu Yan'er's hand. The instant the swords appeared, she slashed at Qin Wu with extreme ferocity, the sword brimming with true energy, making it even more terrifying. But just when she thought she had succeeded, Qin Wu's sword struck first, blocking her attack. The two swords clashed with a clang, sparks flying, but Qin Wu firmly blocked the attack. Liu Yan'er, who had used the momentum of her attack, was suddenly forced back several steps.

"How could your strength be so great?"

Although she sensed that Qin Wu's strength might be considerable, the power he was currently displaying was overwhelming. Most importantly, Qin Wu wasn't exhibiting a high concentration of true qi. This meant that while he might have opened all twelve acupoints, his progress was certainly not as rapid as hers. Under these circumstances, their clash of power resulted not only in her defeat, but a crushing one. To her, Qin Wu's current power was simply monstrous.

Qin Wu grinned: "Do you still think I can't kill you?"

Qin Wu spoke calmly.

"Damn it, no matter what secret technique you used to gain this power, this is the territory of my Three Yin Sect. There are countless Three Yin Sect disciples around. Although they are not strong, when they arrive, you will definitely be dead."

Liu Yan'er screamed, but her voice carried a hint of bravado. At this moment, she had long lost the composure and calmness she had shown when facing Zhao Longhu; only the terror of facing life and death had gripped her.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Longhu hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "You mean your Three Yin Sect disciples? They're probably all gone by now."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yan'er looked at Qin Wu and, noticing his calm expression, realized that it might be true. Even so, she found it hard to believe: "This is impossible! There are at least a hundred disciples of my Three Yin Sect stationed here. Although they are not strong, and most are outer disciples, they are definitely not to be bullied. How could they have been killed by you alone?"

Qin Wu appeared remarkably calm, and his clothes were completely unstained by blood, as if he hadn't experienced any battle. She couldn't believe that someone who had killed over a hundred people could remain so composed. Zhao Longhu, standing nearby, explained, "I've already said it before, my junior brother is stronger than me, and his specialty is group combat."

Although Zhao Longhu and Qin Wu hadn't known each other for long, he was able to deduce Qin Wu's abilities from their brief interaction. He knew Qin Wu was not only incredibly strong but also possessed exceptional stamina. Under such circumstances, fighting a large number of weaker opponents would be a breeze for him, amounting to nothing more than slaughter. Moreover, Qin Wu had first wreaked havoc in the Three Yin Sect, which was how Zhao Longhu gained the opportunity to come here and see Liu Yan'er. Therefore, since Qin Wu had already arrived, it meant that no one in the Three Yin Sect could pose a threat to him. All of this was sufficient proof that Qin Wu had likely already dealt with all the disciples of the Three Yin Sect.

Qin Wu calmly said to Liu Yan'er, "It's fine if you don't believe me, after all, you're going to see them soon."

After saying this, Qin Wu didn't hesitate any longer and drew his sword again. This time, however, he used all the essence of the Tiger King Saber. Since mastering the Tiger King Saber, he hadn't seriously fought anyone. But in his battle against hundreds of Three Yin Sect disciples, their strength was too weak to allow him to unleash the true power of the Tiger King Saber; he could only hone some basic moves. Now, Liu Yan'er's strength was sufficient. Liu Yan'er had opened nine major acupoints and was not far from truly entering the True Qi Realm. With this strength, she was already capable of using the true essence and ultimate techniques of the Tiger King Saber.

Just as the two were about to make contact, the Tiger King Blade in Qin Wu's hand seemed to transform into a dazzling light. At the same time, a phantom tiger emerged from the blade and leaped out, charging towards Liu Yan'er in an instant. Liu Yan'er's face paled in terror, her pupils shrinking. She drew her sword to defend herself, but in a mere instant, her pair of mandarin duck swords were cleaved in two by Qin Wu, and a massive wound pierced through her entire body.

With just one stab, Liu Yan'er was already severely injured and collapsed to the ground, unable to stand up again.

Liu Yan'er coughed up a mouthful of blood, her eyes filled with regret. She never imagined that such a monster existed in this world. If she had known this would happen, she would never have offended Zhao Longhu, thus bringing this deadly disaster upon herself. But now, regret was pointless.

Zhao Longhu looked at the heavily injured Liu Yan'er, his eyes filled with grief. He wanted to rescue her, perhaps still saving her life. However, Qin Wu simply took a step forward, his Tiger King Blade already blocking Zhao Longhu's path, and said, "Senior Brother Zhao, this matter is over."

A faint cold glint flashed in Qin Wu's eyes. His patience was finite, and he believed he had done what he had to do. If Zhao Longhu remained obstinate, he wouldn't mind resolving a problem for Tianwu Mountain right here.

Fortunately, Zhao Longhu eventually calmed down. Liu Yan'er looked at Zhao Longhu, her eyes already glazed over. She reached out to grab him, hoping he would save her. This was her last hope, but the moment Zhao Longhu stopped, all of Liu Yan'er's hopes shattered in an instant.

In just a moment, Liu Yan'er had become a corpse.

"it's over."

Qin Wu spoke. He had already wasted a long time here, and it was time to return to Tianwu Mountain to deal with the troubles to come. But before that, he needed to retrieve his gains: the Xuan Yin Pearl and the Tong Sheng Fruit hidden here.

The Profound Yin Pearl was on the table in the pavilion, so it wasn't hard to find. As for the Sage-Connecting Fruit, Qin Wu quickly obtained it after finding the people he had rescued. When Zhao Longhu saw the Sage-Connecting Fruit, although he remained silent, his eyes were filled with astonishment for a moment: "I didn't expect to find the Sage-Connecting Fruit here. No wonder the Three Yin Sect came here."

When Zhao Longhu spoke, everything seemed to have an answer.
