Afterward, Zhong Ping fell asleep with her head down. The soft light in the bedroom cast shadows on her face; she was so tired that even if someone carried her away to be sold, she wouldn't know.

Wang Xiaoqiang was cultivating the Qi Guiding Technique on the villa bed. As he breathed in and out, he suddenly felt the Spiritual Springs within his body violently shaking, much like a butterfly struggling to break free from its cocoon.

One mustn't have any distracting thoughts during cultivation, lest they suffer from Qi Deviation and be doomed forever.

Wang Xiaoqiang had understood this as a child when watching Jin Yong's dramas, and the "Daoist Qi Guiding Technique" also warned against it. Moreover, he was only a step away from perfecting his Qi Guiding Technique, perhaps even breaking through tonight. Thus, even as the Spiritual Springs showed unusual movements, Wang Xiaoqiang could not allow himself to be distracted and continued his breathing technique.

Sure enough, after breathing for another five minutes, he felt his body tremble. The Qi Guiding Technique reached the Mahayana Realm, and suddenly, with a loud bang, all eight Spiritual Springs burst forth from his body and hovered around him, egg-sized, emitting a five-colored radiance—white, blue, black, red, and yellow colors shifted in turn, dazzlingly beautiful!

Wang Xiaoqiang was not captivated by the beautiful scenery before him. He was horrified and thought, "My Spiritual Springs, how did they all escape!"

Just as he was internally screaming... those sixteen Spiritual Springs swiftly moved to vital parts of Wang Xiaoqiang's body.

Bang!

The window glass shattered, and immediately afterward, a large-caliber sniper bullet spiraled toward him, targeting Wang Xiaoqiang's left temple, and finally, it struck one of the Spiritual Springs in front of Wang Xiaoqiang's forehead...

Bang!

When the bullet collided with the Spiritual Spring, the Five Elements Spirit Spring turned completely "white," and the Aura of Geng Metal became incredibly dense, vibrating the large-caliber bullet into tiny fragments.

In another villa, fifty meters away from Wang Xiaoqiang's, a stunning female assassin saw her shot hit someone, yet the bullet seemed to disappear and the target remained unharmed, causing her heart to flip with shock. However, being a professional assassin, she immediately suppressed her astonishment and fired another shot toward Wang Xiaoqiang's left chest.

The bullet penetrated the window glass and spun at high speed toward Wang Xiaoqiang's right chest, targeting his heart, but ultimately, it struck one of the Spiritual Springs on his chest...

When the two collided, the Spiritual Spring's colors merged into one pure white. The Aura of Geng Metal exploded, turning the bullet into fragments.

Though Wang Xiaoqiang lacked experience in the Martial World, seeing the perforated window glass and the shattered bullet, he realized he was the target of an assassination. He immediately waved his hand, launching a Spiritual Energy Dagger. Now that his Qi Guiding Technique had reached the Mahayana Realm, he could manipulate the Spiritual Energy more freely, and he could shape the energy he launched very clearly.

Whoosh!

The Spiritual Energy Dagger struck the wall lamp, extinguishing it. Then he quickly put on a coat, jumped out of bed, opened the door, and dashed out.

The sixteen Spiritual Springs closely followed him, radiating five-colored brilliance in the night, splendidly beautiful. Yet, only Wang Xiaoqiang could see this beautiful sight.

Once is an accident, twice a coincidence, but not three times. Seeing her second shot also left the target unscathed, the female assassin was shocked but quickly put away her gun and swiftly left the villa.

Wang Xiaoqiang ran in the direction from which the bullets had come. Thirty meters out, he saw a shadow dash out of a villa and quickly run in the opposite direction. The female assassin could have disguised herself, preventing Wang Xiaoqiang from finding her, but the eerie nature of tonight's assassination had already scared her out of her wits, causing her to choose one of the most foolish methods to flee, and thus, Wang Xiaoqiang quickly discovered her.

Wang Xiaoqiang chased after her relentlessly.

In the dead of night, the villas were utterly silent.

Fearing the worst, the female assassin realized someone was chasing her and knew it was Wang Xiaoqiang. Panicked, she pulled out a silencer-equipped pistol from her waistband while running and fired at Wang Xiaoqiang.

True to her status as a professional assassin, not only was her aim precise, but she also targeted a critical spot, the heart area on the right thigh. Unfortunately for her, the bullet was repelled by a Spiritual Spring and shattered into fragments.

Seeing the woman running ahead shooting at him, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately confirmed she was the assassin who had tried to kill him. Angered by her continued attacks, he swung his right hand toward the fleeing figure...

Before making this move, a Spiritual Spring had already entered his body, precisely into his right hand. As Wang Xiaoqiang willed it, the Metal Element Spiritual Energy formed a Spiritual Energy Sword.

As Wang Xiaoqiang swung, the Spiritual Energy Sword slashed at the panicking woman in front of him.

Crisp!

The Spiritual Energy Sword struck the woman's shoulder, cleanly slicing off her right arm.

Blood spurted wildly!

The woman collapsed to the ground.

At that moment, a black sports car raced by, and as it passed the woman's body, a bullet shot out from the car's window, striking her head.

Before Wang Xiaoqiang could react, the car sped away like a fleeing shadow.

Night security personnel ran over. Wang Xiaoqiang quickly and sensibly retracted himself, returned to the villa, and called Anderi, hoping he could look into the matter.

Zhong Ping was still sound asleep in bed; no wonder, just when the two were intimately close earlier, Wang Xiaoqiang's Spiritual Springs had further divided, suddenly adding eight more, making sixteen in total. This caused the Spiritual Energy inside his body to surge violently, like a ticking bomb, and Zhong Ping, much like a fuse, had just provoked him a little.
