Rebellious Old Servant: From Gatekeeper to Immortal Emperor

For an instant.

Qin Xiao then felt his mind become clearer than ever before.

There is a kind of insight that allows one to easily understand any problem in the world in a single thought.

Right now, he seems to have instantly become a peerless genius.

My understanding has reached an incredible level.

The power of the Goddess Diagram, which instantly transformed an ordinary person into an unparalleled genius, once again left Qin Xiao utterly shocked, almost to the point of numbness.

No matter how shocked he was, Qin Xiao didn't dare to waste any time.

In this state of terrifying enlightenment, the rate at which the beauty's energy is consumed is also extremely alarming; not a single second can be wasted.

In an instant, Qin Xiao immersed himself in comprehending the Inextricable Blade Manual.

What was originally profound and difficult to understand suddenly became as simple as a kindergarten math problem in Qin Xiao's eyes at this moment.

In an instant, Qin Xiao's understanding of the Wujian Blade Manual improved at an incredible speed.

Soon, he had thoroughly grasped and mastered all the contents of this sword technique.

Qin Xiao, engrossed in his comprehension, did not notice.

At this moment, he suddenly seemed to possess an extremely mysterious aura.

In the dim light, a terrifyingly sharp glint was brewing in his aged eyes.

This sharp light seemed to cut through the air itself; it was extremely dangerous, terrifying, and chilling.

As time passed, this sharp light grew increasingly terrifying, carrying a sense of impending doom, as if it were about to be released at any moment.

Once released, it will undoubtedly have a groundbreaking effect.

But at this moment, her beauty finally ran out.

In an instant, the mysterious aura emanating from Qin Xiao vanished.

Qin Xiao's body trembled, and the sharp light that was brewing in his eyes suddenly dissipated.

A terrifying, agonizing pain suddenly shot through Qin Xiao's head, as if it were being torn apart from the inside.

Qin Xiao's vision went black, and he immediately covered his head in pain:

"Ah—my head—"

It almost killed Qin Xiao with pain.

It took Qin Xiao a long while to come to his senses, his face pale.

But his eyes were filled with ecstatic joy.

Because this time, his gains were truly enormous!

The terrifying comprehension gained from exchanging the aura of over ninety beauties allowed him to completely master the supreme martial art, the Infinite Sword Manual.

He even comprehended a terrifying technique called "Blade Intent"!

Sword intent is a mysterious and wondrous technique that transcends even the most basic martial arts methods.

The mystery lies in the fact that the intent of the sword can injure people from a distance!

The knife cuts through the flesh, the will severs the soul.

As the name suggests, sword intent, in the eyes of a martial artist, is a means of attacking the soul or spirit!

If a person is physically injured, there are many ways to recover, but if they are injured in spirit or soul...

Restoring it wouldn't be so simple, and even if it were possible, the cost would be much higher.

Ordinary martial artists, without defensive techniques such as intent,

Faced with a deadly attack, one is completely defenseless and can only let the opponent slash at them.

It's easy to imagine how terrifying the intent of the blade was.

As he felt the sword intent he had comprehended, the worry deep in Qin Xiao's eyes finally dissipated considerably.

With the sword intent, it will become much easier for Qin Xiao to kill martial artists across realms.

Even a martial artist at the Bone Refining Realm could be killed by Qin Xiao's sword intent if they didn't comprehend techniques like understanding intent.

A genius capable of comprehending the essence of swordsmanship and other such profound concepts has never been born in a small place like Black Mountain City.

Even the heads of the three top families could not comprehend the power of intent.

Otherwise, they would have unified the entire Black Mountain City long ago, so how could they still be fighting each other until now?

However, Qin Xiao also knew that while sword intent was powerful, it was not omnipotent.

Unleashing sword intent also consumes an extremely high amount of mental energy.

With Qin Xiao's current strength, he can only use it once a day.

Once Qin Xiao unleashes his sword intent, his strength will plummet to rock bottom in a short period of time, rendering him unable to perform at his full potential.

Therefore, it is best not to use this sword intent unless absolutely necessary.

Even without using sword intent, Qin Xiao's understanding of the Wujian Sword Technique is still quite impressive.

His actual combat strength at this moment is already quite formidable.

In a one-on-one situation at the same level, Qin Xiao was confident that he could easily kill any martial artist from Black Mountain City using the Inextricable Blade Technique.

Even if the opponent's cultivation level is higher than Qin Xiao's, it's useless.

While a martial artist at the Bone Refining Realm might not be as strong, there's still a chance to severely injure them.

The Inextricable Blade Technique is ultimately a top-tier martial art, and only Qin Xiao truly knows how terrifying its power is.

At this moment, Qin Xiao's worries about the mission completely disappeared.

With his current strength, surviving this mission would be incredibly easy for him.

Perhaps he can confidently use this mission to make a fortune and seize a large amount of resources.

The next day.

Qin Xiao was awakened by the knocking of the servants outside.

"The day of the mission has finally arrived."

Qin Xiao's eyes narrowed, and he quickly got out of bed.

After washing up, he followed the servants to a meadow behind the Su family's house.

A dozen or so people had already arrived on the grassland.

These dozen or so people all exuded a fierce aura and were no ordinary people.

They were all martial artists!

Qin Xiao realized that this group of people had all come together to participate in this mission.

The fact that the Su family dispatched more than a dozen martial artists, including Su Qingxue, a genius at the Bone Refining Realm, clearly shows that they are serious this time and want to completely eliminate Blood Blade Stronghold.

However, to Qin Xiao's surprise,

He also saw an acquaintance.

In the crowd, a burly middle-aged man was staring at him with a playful smile.

The threat in his eyes was undisguised.

"Wu Tao!"

Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow, surprised that Wu Tao was also on this mission.

It seems this mission is not so simple.

This scoundrel will definitely try to cause me trouble during this mission.

"However, I am not the same person I was three days ago."

Qin Xiao completely disregarded Wu Tao's threats.

Instead, he sneered inwardly. If Wu Tao dared to cause him trouble, he wouldn't mind taking this opportunity to get rid of this villain.

Too lazy to bother with Wu Tao anymore, Qin Xiao then noticed something else.

He noticed that the martial artists around him were noticeably cold towards him, their colleague, and acted as if they didn't even see him.

Originally, Qin Xiao also planned to take this opportunity to make friends with some colleagues and inquire about some news in the martial arts circle.

Seeing this, Qin Xiao knew perfectly well that he had been ostracized.

After only a moment of confusion, Qin Xiao suddenly understood.

Indeed, whether it was offending Su Haoxuan or being targeted by that scoundrel Wu Tao, in the eyes of other martial artists, he was a troublesome person.

Besides, he was a seventy-year-old man whose "potential had been exhausted."

Who would be willing to risk offending Su Haoxuan and Wu Tao to befriend a weak person whose potential has been exhausted?

Realizing this, Qin Xiao immediately gave up his plan to befriend these people; he wasn't the type to offer his kindness to someone who didn't reciprocate.

I might as well just stand there and wait for the mission to begin.

Not long after.

"The young lady has arrived."

Suddenly someone spoke up, and instantly, all the martial artists present turned to look to the east.

Qin Xiao couldn't help but look over as well.

The next moment, he was suddenly stunned.

There were two figures over there.

One is Su Qingxue, who has an absolutely stunning face and an incomparably aloof demeanor.

However, to the side, there was a tall, spirited young woman whose appearance was in no way inferior to Su Qingxue's, walking side by side with her.

The martial artists present were all stunned by the beauty of the spirited young woman.

Curious about the girl's background.

Qin Xiao suddenly widened his eyes, his gaze filled with shock.

Because of this moment.

Suddenly, the goddess painting released an unprecedentedly intense light.

[A stunning beauty has been discovered!]

Then they encountered another peerless beauty who had been recognized by the Goddess Painting.

Moreover, the evaluation of the spirited young girl in the Goddess Painting was no less than that of Su Qingxue!

Who is this woman?!
