A muffled thud.
Xue Tu's full-force palm strike seemed to miss, but if Qin Xuan had tried to dodge, it would have landed on Wang Yuyan's face.
Qin Xuan would rather take the palm strike himself than place Wang Yuyan in danger.
Besides, a full-force strike from a Xiantian realm cultivator was nothing to Qin Xuan.
It couldn't even break the defense of the Vajra Sutra.
Seeing his strike land, Xue Tu gained absolute confidence.
This was the way to fight!
Could he withstand one palm strike, but fifty or a hundred?
"I say, our boss, isn't that a bit... dishonorable?" Xue Ying, standing nearby, smacked his lips.
"Want face, or want your life?"
Xue Mie, who had been silent, spoke up.
"No, I'm just saying, two men fighting, and every move targets a woman. It's really not very proper."
Xue Ling pouted, seeming to disapprove of Xue Mie's words.
"He's at the Zongshi realm. If he were to fight all out, even if you all swarmed him, you wouldn't be his match in one round."
After speaking, Xue Mie tugged at his long black robe, only his eyes still fixed on the battle.
"Qin Xuan!"
Seeing Qin Xuan hit, Wang Yuyan's heart ached. Tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
"It's nothing."
Qin Xuan took a deep breath, his two sharp eyes fixed on Xue Tu.
He knew Xue Tu's intentions all too well, but he couldn't help it. With those other men watching menacingly, putting Wang Yuyan down would be placing her in the most dangerous situation.
"Put me down."
"No."
"Please."
"Don't worry, even if these guys joined forces, they couldn't do anything to me."
"Put me down..."
"Why are you so naggy?"
Before Wang Yuyan could speak again, Xue Tu charged forward.
"Still flirting, and you call yourself a Zongshi? You can't insult me like this!"
An inexplicable rage welled up in Xue Tu's heart, and he fought more fiercely.
To be fighting him, yet still exchanging sweet nothings – it was clear he wasn't taking him seriously.
He, a dignified peak Xiantian, half-step Huajin martial artist, was being looked down upon.
Even if he was a Zongshi, he should at least show him some respect!
"We exchanged a few words, and that's an insult? With your state of mind, don't bother practicing martial arts. The first thing in martial arts is to train your heart. Your cultivation of heart and energy is insufficient; you'll never reach the Zongshi realm in this lifetime." Qin Xuan said with a dismissive sneer.
"I'll fight you to the death!" Xue Tu grew more anxious as he fought.
After all, Qin Xuan was holding a person, his strength reduced by at least ninety percent.
He, who could barely be considered a Huajin realm martial artist, was facing such a huge gap with a Zongshi?
It was like a chasm.
"Ah! I don't believe it!"
"Then I'll make you believe!"
Qin Xuan moved his feet, striking like lightning, and sent a palm strike to Xue Tu's abdomen.
Xue Tu had just expended his previous strength and had not yet mustered new force. In this brief moment, Qin Xuan's palm strike sent him flying.
Xue Tu flipped over from the ground and knelt on one knee, propping himself up with one hand.
"Zongshi expert..." Xue Tu looked up at Qin Xuan, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with one hand.
"Truly powerful!"
At this moment, Xue Tu finally understood the gap between them. The other party had never taken him seriously.
After fighting for so long, how many times had he actually attacked?
"But... even if I die today, I, Xue Tu, will still take a few hairs from you!"
Xue Tu erupted. A small pit appeared where he stood, but his figure was nowhere to be seen.
The next moment, Xue Tu appeared behind Qin Xuan.
*Bang!*
Xue Tu's eyes widened.
This was completely different from what he had expected.
Such a swift attack was so casually caught by Qin Xuan!
Qin Xuan didn't even turn around, simply crossing his arms behind his back and catching the fatal elbow strike that Xue Tu had meticulously prepared with his internal energy.
A gradually spreading fear began to cloud Xue Tu's eyes.
So, he really wasn't worth the other party's seriousness.
"Hmph." Qin Xuan let out a cold laugh.
"A petty trick, and you dare to show off in front of an expert."
He shoved forward with his body.
A backhand shove.
Sent Xue Tu flying.
*Puff.*
