At that moment, Liu Qianqian's pupils contracted sharply, and her body paused slightly.

She looked down at her chest in disbelief, where a hand had pierced through her from behind and emerged from her chest.

who is it?

This person is none other than Chen Han!

"Why...why! How could you...?"

The twists and turns just now had exhausted her physical strength and energy. It was already quite remarkable that she could still stand. At this moment, she was distracted by the excitement of receiving the inheritance item. Therefore, she did not expect Chen Han to suddenly launch an attack.

What puzzled her was why Chen Han wanted to kill her, and why the pressure between them hadn't held him back, since he was already exhausted.

"Surprised?"

It turned out that just now, when Chen Han was fighting the corpse beast and they were locked in a stalemate, he keenly noticed that after Liu Qianqian obtained the inheritance item, the surrounding barrier suddenly faded and weakened. Liu Qianqian, who was under tension, did not realize this at all. This was one of the reasons.

At that time, Chen Han had not yet decided to kill.

The moment he truly decided to kill was when he saw something Liu Qianqian had secretly hidden. It was the appearance of this item that made him change his mind in an instant, and that was the second reason.

He immediately swallowed the Tai Xue Yin he had plundered from Chen Canghai, overdrawing his body to unleash his potential and ruthlessly destroy the flower!

This item is the next volume of Tai Chi Health Preservation Exercise, but it has a different name—Refining Qi Gong!

Chen Han was certain that this was not a baseless rumor, but rather that the Tai Chi Health Preservation Exercise had been mentioned more than once in the first volume of the exercise, and that it was the next volume of the Health Preservation Exercise.

Liu Qianqian had just realized this, which was why she tried to keep it to herself. However, just as she was feeling nervous and cautious, the person she least expected—Chen Han—made his move.

Liu Qianqian's face turned pale, and her delicate body struggled futilely, trying to break free from Chen Han's clutches, but all her efforts were in vain.

Chen Han pulled out his bloodied hand, then grabbed the beauty by the neck and lifted her high. A fatal blow was about to be delivered to her!

At this moment, the people outside the cave were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped. Lu Tianren's face was a mix of emotions, completely unaware of what had happened that led to the two killing each other, while Su Zhenyue's eyebrows were raised and her almond-shaped eyes were practically shooting fire.

Along the way, she and Liu Qianqian had developed a deep friendship, and she even promised to take her to the cultivation world to cultivate immortality together after this matter was over.

However, all of this was about to vanish, and she could only watch helplessly, unable to stop it in the slightest.

"Why, I've already agreed to... you..."

Liu Qianqian's weak voice rang out.

Hearing this naive question, Chen Han couldn't help but burst into laughter. His gaze was cold and ruthless, and his voice was slightly low and hoarse. "Even now, do you still think I'm just a little lamb? A coward who fears death and submits to the strong?"

"Do you think I'll believe you just because of a vague and unsubstantiated statement?"

Chen Han has reached this point because of his extreme vigilance. He has never trusted anyone, whether it's Chen Canghai, Qingxue from Black Lion City, or the old man. If he had been even slightly naive, he would probably be buried with grass several meters high by now.

And now, some people actually think that they can gain his trust with just a word and even want to cultivate immortality together... This is simply a huge joke, and that is the third point.

It must be said that Chen Han was indeed tempted at first; he chose a glimmer of hope over a dead end.

At this point, his relationship with Liu Qianqian and her group was indeed mutually beneficial, with a premise of cooperation. However, it was hard to guarantee that the other party wouldn't discard him after using him, so this was a second-best option.

But another path to survival, which was truly in his hands, had already taken shape in his mind.

Chen Han gradually exerted force, and the veins on his arms bulged. The terrifying force was so great that even Liu Qianqian, who had been tempered into steel, could not withstand it and let out a dying moan.

"Chen Yan, what are you doing! What on earth happened?!"

Lu Tianren's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty as he anxiously asked from outside the barrier.

"Boy, if you dare kill her, I'll make you wish you were dead! There's no escape here..."

Su Zhenyue was meticulous and calculating, but even the most careful plans can have flaws. Her mistake was that she viewed Chen Han as a coward who was only interested in personal gain.

However, she was unaware that Chen Han was unconventional and headstrong, and that Su Zhenyue's biggest mistake was judging him by the standards of an ordinary person.

The other bloated man and Old He were so shocked they couldn't utter a single word. They had previously been unable to defeat this woman even when outnumbered three to one, but now she had fallen victim to the boy she once looked down upon and even wanted to take on as a disciple.

Chen Han's strength is significantly higher than before. He must have been deliberately hiding his strength and showing weakness to his enemies, waiting for the crucial moment to make a decisive move.

Only now did they realize the man's ruthlessness, and a wave of fear washed over them.

But now, they are puzzled by Chen Han's actions and even think he is foolish, because his actions only anger Su Zhenyue and hasten his own death.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Han ignored them completely, gave a cold laugh, and looked around. There were only two exits, and the barrier surrounding the cave was gradually weakening after Liu Qianqian obtained the inheritance item. It was expected that it would disappear in less than half an hour.

Is there no way out?

Chen Han gave another cold laugh, and the next moment he delivered a fatal blow to Liu Qianqian, who died on the spot.

These people all want him dead, so how could he be threatened?

"Chen Yan..."

Su Zhenyue trembled with rage, her eyes filled with boundless hatred. How dare a mere mortal kill her man! She was determined to tear this brat to pieces before she could vent her anger!

"Chen Yan, quickly hand over the inherited item to me! I guarantee you'll be unharmed! Otherwise, you'll truly know how ruthless the methods of cultivators can be!"

Lu Tianren shouted, looking at Chen Han as if he were a dead man. Of course, he wouldn't protect Chen Han. This kid was nothing. What he wanted was the inheritance item in Chen Han's possession.

Chen Han is now surrounded by enemies on all sides, with corpse beasts eyeing him covetously, and Lu Tianren and Su Zhenyue also present. Once the barrier is broken, he will face a joint attack from two cultivators, with two martial arts masters as his assistants.

No matter how you look at it, he only has one path: death.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Han completely ignored them and instead took a bamboo slip from Liu Qianqian's weak hand, opened it on the spot, and examined it.

"What does he want to do?"

The bloated man and Old He's gazes shifted from shock to confusion.

The two cultivators, Lu Tianren and Su Zhenyue, also narrowed their eyes slightly.

That's right, the key to Chen Han's sudden change of mind was this Qi Refining Technique!

"I have this 'proficiency cheat' about me. My Steel Bones level is now at its peak, just a hair's breadth away from advancement. Even a fraction of it, if I grasp its essence, will grant me greater power, giving me a chance to fight for that sliver of life."

Rather than entrusting his fate to others, he chose to fight for that sliver of hope himself!

But when he saw the first chapter of the Refining Qi Technique, his face turned pale!

"Hahaha, kid, your talent is heaven-defying. The fact that you can improve so much in such a short time is truly beyond my expectations."

"Your ability to conceive of such a thing as 'comprehending the truth in the heat of battle' greatly surprised me, but do you know why Martial Masters are commonly seen in the mortal world, yet Martial Venerables are rarely observed?"
