Rebellious Old Servant: From Gatekeeper to Immortal Emperor

Qin Xiao looked at Wu Tao expressionlessly:

"On the battlefield, if you attack your own people, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"Who will find out?"

Wu Tao scoffed, "I deliberately followed you to this deserted corner to eliminate you here, without anyone knowing!"

At this point, Wu Tao looked extremely smug, his gaze playfully fixed on Qin Xiao:

"Old man, don't worry, after I get rid of you, I'll take good care of your new wife, hahaha."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao's gaze suddenly turned icy, and he pointed his blade at Wu Tao:

"You're asking for it!"

"Haha, you think you can use a knife in front of me? You've only been learning knife skills for a few days. Let me teach you how to use a knife."

Wu Tao grinned maliciously and took a step forward.

In an instant, he transformed into a blur and rushed to Qin Xiao's side.

"Thunder Slash!"

With a roar, a streak of sword light, as fast as lightning, came crashing down, tearing through the air with a sonic boom.

If this strike lands, even a strong elephant would likely be cleaved in two.

Clearly, Wu Tao didn't want any unnecessary trouble and wanted to kill Qin Xiao as quickly as possible to avoid being discovered.

As for whether Qin Xiao would resist, Wu Tao hadn't even considered it.

How could an old man who had just become a martial artist possibly resist a master at the late stage of the first realm?

But, the next moment.

Wu Tao was suddenly stunned.

He was met with a lightning-fast slash from Wu Tao.

Qin Xiao, however, remained completely calm.

Instead, their gaze seemed to slow down, and they could clearly see that Wu Tao's swordsmanship was full of flaws!

Such skill naturally stemmed from his thorough understanding of the Wujian Sword Technique.

The term "Wujian" in Wujian Sword Technique comes from a Taoist saying: "Entering the space between the infinite and the infinite."

It means that you shouldn't confront your enemy head-on, but rather find their weaknesses and vulnerabilities, and then act accordingly.

In other words, the best thing about this sword technique is its ability to spot the flaws in an enemy's sword technique.

Then, exploit the opponent's weakness to deliver a fatal blow and kill the enemy.

It's not that I'm afraid of the enemy's powerful moves, it's that I'm afraid of the enemy not making a move.

Even the most powerful moves have weaknesses. Once a weakness is revealed in front of a martial artist who has mastered the Infinite Blade Technique, the chance of death becomes astonishingly high!

Therefore, at the moment Wu Tao drew his knife...

In Qin Xiao's eyes, Wu Tao was already a dead man.

In an instant, Qin Xiao's aura changed drastically.

The long sword in his hand suddenly transformed into a streak of light, striking first despite being launched later.

In an instant, it broke through Wu Tao's attack and slashed towards his neck.

At this moment, Wu Tao's expression changed drastically. He felt that Qin Xiao's move was like a ghost or god crawling out of hell, or a shooting star from the sky, carrying an aura of destruction that no one could stop.

In an instant, the murderous intent in his heart transformed into terror, disbelief, and boundless despair:

"No, how is this possible? How can this old man be so strong—"

scoff!

A flash of light.

Wu Tao's movements froze on the spot for a moment.

His eyes were wide open, like copper bells, staring intently at Qin Xiao.

The next moment, he reached for his neck.

However, the head suddenly fell off, and the headless corpse fell to the ground.

Those who are already dead cannot die any further.

"Those who reap what they sow will not live."

Qin Xiao glanced coldly at Wu Tao's corpse. The moment this man set his sights on Qin Xiao, he was destined to be a dead man.

To avoid being discovered, Qin Xiao didn't dare to waste time and quickly searched the body.

The result greatly disappointed Qin Xiao. Wu Tao only had a few dozen taels of silver on him, making him the poorest person Qin Xiao had ever killed.

"That's true. This guy is a gambling addict who cheats and swindles people everywhere. What money could he possibly have on him?"

With a sigh, Qin Xiao got up and prepared to return to the battlefield.

Qin Xiao's goal for this mission is to make more money. Practicing martial arts consumes too many resources, so Qin Xiao plans to swindle a few more martial artists to accumulate a lot of wealth for himself.

Qin Xiao used his concealment technique to stealthily advance, searching for the martial artist among the bandits.

With his ability to conceal his presence and being in the forest, no one noticed Qin Xiao's whereabouts.

When they encountered enemies, Qin Xiao would suddenly launch a surprise attack from the shadows, easily slaughtering more than a dozen ordinary bandits along the way, cutting off their ears, just like the Grim Reaper.

However, finding a martial artist was not going smoothly. There weren't many martial artists among the bandits, and the battlefield was so vast that finding one and negotiating with them would be difficult.

Just as Qin Xiao was having a headache—

"ah--"

A piercing scream suddenly came from the woods ahead.

"Hmm? That sound sounds like the screams of Su family martial artists!"

Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow. Although he had a cold relationship with the guards of the Su family and had not communicated with them, he had heard the conversations of these martial artists on the road and secretly noted down some information revealed in their conversations.

The scream seemed to come from a dark-skinned martial artist named Song Wang.

Qin Xiao immediately realized that the fact that a martial artist could scream like that meant there must be bandit martial artists present over there.

"A great opportunity!"

Without hesitation, Qin Xiao quickly stealthily moved towards the direction of the sound.

With his current strength, apart from those few second-realm experts, there is no one who can threaten Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao, naturally skilled and daring, approached without hesitation.

A short while later.

Qin Xiao quietly arrived under a large tree and saw two martial artists in front of him.

One of them had a spear pierce his chest and was pinned to a tree; it really was Song Wangyang.

The man wielding the spear was a burly man with a scarred face, whose aura was fierce and terrifying, like a tiger.

However, Qin Xiao showed no fear whatsoever.

With a single step, he vanished into a blur!

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the burly man.

"who!"

The scarred, burly man's expression changed slightly as he turned his head.

Then he saw an incredibly fast flash of light, and a figure like the Grim Reaper appeared before him without him even noticing.

With a hissing sound.

The burly man with the scarred face had no time to react before he was slashed by the blade.

In an instant, his body was split in two like a block of tofu and fell to the ground.

"It's you—"

Song Wangyang looked at Qin Xiao, who had suddenly appeared, in disbelief.

It was unbelievable that the scarred man who had so easily injured them had actually died at the hands of Qin Xiao, an old man whom none of them respected.

Is this old guy really a martial artist who only recently became one?

Such strength and such terrifying swordsmanship far surpass his own.

In an instant, boundless regret appeared in Song Wangyang's eyes.

If he had known Qin Xiao was so powerful, he shouldn't have distanced himself from Qin Xiao in the first place.

If he could have befriended a powerful figure like Qin Xiao, he might not have suffered such severe injuries.

Feeling his body growing weaker, he panicked and looked at Qin Xiao pleadingly:

"Qin Xiao, save me!"

"You're beyond saving."

Qin Xiao sheathed his sword and glanced at Song Wangyang indifferently.

The man had a gaping hole in his chest from a spear, and his intestines were spilling out; he was clearly beyond saving.

However, Qin Xiao didn't care.

He didn't care about the lives of the Su family members who had previously distanced themselves from him.

The reason they intervened was not to save people, but to kill them.

"No—there's still hope for me—"

Upon hearing this, Song Wangyang's eyes widened, and he excitedly retorted loudly, but as he shouted, his body stiffened.

He was obviously dead.

"Why bother?" Qin Xiao shook his head, then casually cut off the scarred man's ear and ransacked his body.

Luckily, they found several silver notes worth a hundred taels each, and a bottle of some kind of elixir.

Afterwards, Qin Xiao didn't even glance at Song Wangyang's corpse and continued searching for his next target.

Not long after.

Qin Xiao used the same trick again, easily killing a Blood Blade Stronghold warrior through a sneak attack, and also killing a large number of ordinary bandits.

I noticed that I had more and more ears on my body.

Qin Xiao's mood brightened up. These ears represented a lot of silver, which was the foundation for his future cultivation and growth.

As for the guilt of killing.

Having lived in this cannibalistic world for seventy years, Qin Xiao was already used to seeing dead people and felt no discomfort at all.

Qin Xiao relentlessly reaped the lives of the bandits, constantly moving through the dense forest. Before he knew it, he found himself far from where he had started at the mountain pass.

Just at this time.

Suddenly, Qin Xiao heard a loud noise coming from ahead.

The earth shook violently, trees exploded, and dust filled the sky.

The terrifying noise was as if several tanks were frantically bombarding the earth.

"What's going on?!"

Qin Xiao was startled and immediately activated the Concealing Breath Technique, instinctively hiding himself in preparation for his escape.

But at that moment, he suddenly saw several figures flying rapidly toward him.

At the very front was actually that Roy person.

At this moment, Luo Yiren was in a terrible state and was frantically trying to escape.

Her clothes were soaked in blood, her face was ashen, and one hand was drooping, as if she had suffered a very serious injury.

The other hand, which was holding the sword, trembled uncontrollably, and it looked as if he would lose his grip on the sword altogether.

Behind her, two furious figures were relentlessly chasing after her!

These two men were none other than the eldest and third of the Mi family's three villains.

"Luo Yiren, you dared to kill my second brother! I'll kill you today, or I'll change your name!"

The leader of the Mi family trio roared furiously, his eyes blazing with fury.

"Luo Yiren, you bitch, you killed my second brother!"

The third brother gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with malice, "Once I capture you, I'll have hundreds of bandits from Blood Blade Stronghold gang rape you for ten days and ten nights. You just wait!"

"Despicable scoundrel!"

Luo Yiren gritted her teeth, "Mi Da, Mi San, if you hadn't used poison, how could the three of you have been a match for me?"

"Don't let me escape! Next time, I'll make sure you three brothers meet in the underworld!"

"You bitch, let's see how you escape!"

Mi Da sneered, "You've been poisoned by our Three Yin Soft Bone Powder. Before long, all your strength will be gone, and you won't even be able to crawl past a tortoise!"

"Damn it!" A look of shock and anger flashed in Luo Yiren's beautiful eyes.

It was simply because she genuinely felt her body growing weaker and weaker.

If this continues, she will truly lose all ability to resist and be at the mercy of these two brothers.

"Am I, Luo Yiren, who has been wise and sagacious all my life, destined to lose my life at the hands of these two despicable men?"

In an instant, Luo Yiren was overwhelmed with despair and resentment.
