Xun Hanying roared in fury!

He couldn't believe the reality before his eyes. How could someone he saw as an insignificant ant be so powerful! A remote press! He hadn't even truly started to fight, and yet, he was completely suppressed without any chance to resist by this person who had already refined a strand of Nine Nether Evil Qi. What kind of power was this! A Semi-Saint!? This guy is so young, how could he possibly be a Semi-Saint!!

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! You must have used a life-risking secret technique! You attacked me by surprise when I was unprepared!" Xun Hanying's gaze was fixed on Qin Heng, grinding his teeth as he said, "If you have the guts, let's fight fair and square..."

BOOM!

Qin Heng couldn't be bothered with Xun Hanying. Without uttering a word, he pressed his palm down slightly again, and immediately there was a thunderous explosion! The cracks in the ground widened further, and at the same time, it sank. The terrifying force collapsed the ground entirely, even leaving the imprint of a palm, pressing Xun Hanying down fiercely.

"Do you dare defy the heavens with the strength of an ant?" Qin Heng glanced at Xun Hanying indifferently, saying, "Answer my question, and I'll spare your life."

At this moment, the lower half of Xun Hanying's body was directly pressed into the ground. Only the upper half of his body remained above. He was as if bound by an invisible force, completely unable to move even a fraction. He could only kneel there, eyes bloodshot and glaring at Qin Heng, utterly helpless.

So strong! Truly too powerful! Absolute crushing strength!!

Gu Niushang watched Qin Heng with uncertain shock, completely dumbfounded, her heart churning with tumultuous waves. She almost doubted whether she was hallucinating! Xun Hanying, a Martial Artist terrifyingly strong, a peak Innate Realm expert nearly stepping into the Semi-Saint domain, was being crushed single-handedly by this Qin Heng!? Incredible! Truly inconceivable! It was simply unfathomable!

She had heard about Qin Heng from Wang Ruoxi the night before. Although, in Wang Ruoxi's description, Qin Heng seemed omnipotent, Gu Niushang, with her own experience and understanding, hadn't thought Qin Heng was that impressive. After all, Wang Ruoxi was just an ordinary person, and to ordinary people, the power of a Martial Artist is essentially incomprehensible. Even someone at just Half-Step Transcendence could display power far beyond that of an ordinary person and would be considered an incredibly powerful existence. Therefore, Gu Niushang originally thought Qin Heng was just an ordinary Martial Artist, possibly at Half-Step Transcendence, or at most a Grandmaster at the Transcendence Realm level, and didn't take him seriously.

For her, the Fairy of Guanghan Palace—who was half a step into the Innate Realm, possessed extremely high combat power, and could even crush ordinary Innate Grandmasters—this level of Martial Artist was completely insignificant, far too trivial. But now, witnessing Qin Heng with her own eyes, she realized how absurd and laughable her previous thoughts were!

Too strong! This Qin Heng is just too powerful! After the recent exchange with Xun Hanying, Gu Niushang fully understood how terrifying Xun Hanying's current strength was—definitely above the pinnacle of the Innate Realm! Though not yet truly stepping into the Semi-Saint domain, he was more than capable of crushing the vast majority at the pinnacle of the Innate Realm! Such strength! Too strong! Simply inconceivably powerful!

But even someone as strong as Xun Hanying was like a child before this Qin Heng, casually toyed with, his life and death controlled! What kind of strength is this!!

Gu Niushang was thoroughly shocked. Qin Heng's strength was something she could no longer comprehend. It seemed to her that only the Semi-Saints within Guanghan Palace could possibly be a match for this Qin Heng!

"Qin Heng! Don't think just because you're strong that I'm afraid of you!"

Even though he was completely crushed, Xun Hanying still glared at Qin Heng with a vicious look, saying, "If you have the ability, kill me! Otherwise, I'll get you sooner or later!!"

Not good! Gu Niushang's heart sank upon hearing this. In her view, Qin Heng, this young and powerful figure, must be prideful and arrogant. If Xun Hanying had begged for mercy, perhaps he would really be done for. But now Xun Hanying was acting tough; perhaps Qin Heng might actually let him off the hook. This cannot happen; Xun Hanying must not be allowed to escape again!

However, before she could even open her mouth, she saw Qin Heng nod. He glanced at Xun Hanying casually, his expression calm, and spoke lightly, "Fine. Then commit suicide."

Commit suicide?

As soon as these words were uttered, Xun Hanying was stunned. Gu Niushang, who had been about to speak to persuade Qin Heng, was also stunned.

So decisive in killing! No hesitation at all, directly demanding Xun Hanying commit suicide! This man is terrifying! Gu Niushang shivered as she watched Qin Heng's indifferent face. He was so young, yet so powerful and resolute! He was certainly no ordinary man! Now, at this critical moment when spiritual energy is about to revive, such a powerhouse emerging out of nowhere is sure to have a huge impact on the future situation. We must win him over, at all costs.

Gu Niushang's gaze at Qin Heng flickered as she began pondering how to recruit him. Guanghan Palace is an Ancient Divine Sect, with a heritage lasting over one hundred thousand years. It has existed since the ancient Mythological Era and even had true Immortal Gods among its founders; its foundation is unfathomably profound. She was very confident in winning over a young genius.

"Qin Heng, let me handle my brother," said Xun Hanyan, suddenly stepping forward, her gaze stern as she looked at Xun Hanying. "Brother, you are ruthless, so don't blame me for being heartless!"

"You? Han Yan, you would actually help outsiders kill me!?" Xun Hanying looked at Xun Hanyan incredulously. "We are both from the Xuns! Do you dare kill me without fearing the family's punishment?"

Xun Hanying panicked. His demeanor completely changed when facing Xun Hanyan compared to when facing Qin Heng. Because he knew very well! Once Xun Hanyan stood up, she would definitely kill him; there would be no surprises. He and Xun Hanyan were not true siblings, merely half-siblings from the same father. Moreover, he had caused the death of Xun Hanyan's mother. Now that Xun Hanyan was so resolute, she must have learned of this and would definitely not let him off!

"Qin Heng, I will not commit suicide! If you dare, come and kill me yourself! Have the guts to do it yourself!" Xun Hanying started shouting, still trying to provoke Qin Heng.

Because only in this way would he have a chance of survival! The more talented they are, the more arrogant they become! Xun Hanying believed that a genius like Qin Heng would surely be very conceited as well. And since Qin Heng wanted to know the source of the Nine Nether Evil Qi, the talk of killing him or demanding his suicide was certainly just a bluff! He still had a chance to escape! Still had a chance to survive!!

CLANG!

However, at that very moment, Xun Hanying suddenly heard the cry of a sword. Then, his vision was engulfed by golden light. Soon, he saw his own body tumbling over, the ground seeming to reach for the sky!

No! Is the sky and ground spinning endlessly? What's happening?

Even as death approached, a sliver of Xun Hanying's consciousness remained. Amidst the chaotic spinning, he finally noticed his own body!

Headless! Blood gushed from the neck where the head had been, like a fountain, unbearably gory!

At the same time, he also saw Qin Heng. Forming a sword-finger, a golden beam of sword light flew from Qin Heng's fingertips. This unparalleled sharpness was the last sight Xun Hanying saw before plunging into darkness.

THUMP.

Xun Hanying's head rolled to Qin Heng's feet.

Qin Heng withdrew his sword-finger, looked at the headless, blood-spewing corpse, and said indifferently, "As you wished."
