Rebellious Old Servant: From Gatekeeper to Immortal Emperor

The instant the sound faded.

A towering, robust man, as tall as an iron tower, suddenly appeared in the room.

The burly man had an indifferent expression. He looked at Qin Xiao, and there seemed to be no murderous intent in his eyes. Instead of making a move, he began to talk eloquently:

"I am Luo Yue, the protector of Master Luo Chen. Lin Feng, you are a talented person. You are able to refine the Azure Luo Pill. Even I, Luo Yue, have to admire such ability."

"However, if the City Lord's Mansion learns of your identity, you will replace the master!"

"I will not allow this to happen, because my current strength is entirely due to the pills provided by Master Luo Chen, so you must die today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a vast and terrifying aura suddenly surged from Luo Yue's body, its heavy momentum like a mountain pressing down on everyone in the room.

In an instant, Li Ruoyou, Madam Li, and Xu Yiren all turned pale, their eyes filled with terror.

Li Ruoyou and Xu Yiren, in particular, sensed that Luo Yue's aura was even more terrifying than when Qin Xiao had revealed his aura before.

"Late stage of Bone Refining Realm!"

Li Ruoyou looked at Luo Yue in horror, her delicate body trembling.

Qin Xiao's strength is at the mid-stage of the Bone Refining Realm, making him a formidable expert in Black Mountain City.

However, he is still far from being able to defeat a late-stage Bone Refining Realm expert.

"How could this happen!"

Xu Yiren's face was also pale, and her beautiful eyes were filled with despair. She had finally encountered hope and had the opportunity to befriend Qin Xiao, a potential alchemist.

Who could have imagined that Qin Xiao would be killed prematurely?

"Not bad, it's the late stage of Bone Refinement."

At this moment, behind Luo Yue, Luo Chen said with a smug smile, "As an alchemist, I am far more valuable than ordinary martial artists. Naturally, I need to cultivate a powerful protector to protect me. Otherwise, if I am out in the world and am accidentally targeted by some audacious thieves, it would not be a good thing."

As an alchemist in Black Mountain City, Luo Chen was even wealthier than most experts in the Marrow Refining Realm.

Since Luo Chen himself doesn't have much strength, he naturally has to put in the effort to cultivate a protector.

The group of bone-refining martial artists around him were all his trained protectors.

However, the most important one is obviously Luo Yue, a master in the late stage of Bone Refinement.

With his wealth, training a master in the late stage of Bone Refinement would not be difficult.

In fact, Luo Chen even thought Luo Yue's strength was a bit too low. His real goal was to train Luo Yue to become a master of marrow refining.

By then, even without relying on the city lord's mansion, he could truly dominate Black Mountain City.

That is why Luo Yue is so loyal to him. After all, all his resources depend on Luo Chen. Without Luo Chen, how could he have cultivated to this level?

Therefore, even though they knew Qin Xiao was a talented person and his alchemy skills were even better than Luo Chen's, they still did not act on his behalf.

Luo Yue also did not hesitate to eliminate Qin Xiao.

If it were the City Lord's Mansion, they might spare no expense to recruit Qin Xiao, this alchemy master.

However, Luo Yue's interests are aligned with Luo Chen's, not those of the City Lord's Mansion.

Like Luo Yue.

Yu'er, standing beside Luo Chen, also wore a smug smile on her pretty face.

She also harbored deep hatred for Qin Xiao, the alchemist who ruined her plans.

Moreover, now that she has pledged allegiance to Luo Chen, she naturally does not want Qin Xiao to threaten Luo Chen's position, lest she lose her wealth and status in the future.

Therefore, at this moment, Yu'er was also eager to see Qin Xiao die.

Seeing Luo Chen and his group, they spoke as if he were already dead.

Qin Xiao finally couldn't stand it anymore and smiled faintly:

"So, you think I'm doomed?"

"Lin Feng, I know you're a mid-stage Bone Refinement expert, you have some skill."

Luo Yue looked coldly at Qin Xiao, "It's a pity. I am a master who grew up in a place like the City Lord's Mansion. I am far superior to those outside the city at the same level, not to mention that I am a level higher than you."

"Today, you are doomed to die! Blood Explosion Divine Fist!"

The words fell.

Luo Yue then stopped talking nonsense.

It suddenly erupted.

That massive, towering body seemed to have difficulty even moving.

But Luo Yue's speed was unbelievably fast, appearing in front of Qin Xiao in an instant as if by teleportation.

He threw a punch.

The terrifying and boundless power of blood and qi actually blasted the surrounding air into an explosion.

It blasted straight at Qin Xiao's head!

"No--"

Both Li Ruoyou and Xu Yiren's minds went blank, and they screamed in terror.

Luo Chen, however, wore a smug smile as he carelessly kneaded Yu'er in his arms.

Yu'er let Luo Chen knead her, her eyes filled with a look of anticipation, eager to see Qin Xiao's fate.

This moment.

Everyone in the room believed that Qin Xiao was doomed and had no chance of survival.

however.

next moment--

There was a soft thud.

Everyone froze, staring at Qin Xiao in disbelief.

They were faced with the terrifying killing move of Luo Yue, a great master.

Qin Xiao had a completely nonchalant expression on his face.

A hand, seemingly out of nowhere, had already risen and effortlessly blocked Luo Yue's terrifying punch.

It was like casually blocking a child's weak and powerless fist; it didn't use any real strength.

Upon witnessing this scene.

Everyone was stunned, their minds went blank.

"How is that possible!"

Luo Chen's eyes widened first, and the smug look on his face completely disappeared, replaced by disbelief.

Luo Chen's Blood Fist was once used to blast several mid-stage Bone Refining Realm martial artists into mincemeat with a single punch.

It can even blast iron and stone into fragments.

How could Qin Xiao possibly withstand it so easily?

"Who...who are you?!"

Luo Yue was stunned, cold sweat appearing on his face as he looked at Qin Xiao.

Previously, he had always been aloof and never paid any attention to Qin Xiao.

But now, he finally realized that the person in front of him was no ordinary person.

It can easily block his Bloodthirsty Divine Fist.

Even a master of the Marrow Refining Realm couldn't do it so casually!

At that moment, Luo Yue knew he had kicked a hornet's nest, and his heart sank to the bottom.

A hint of retreat and fear still lingered in his eyes.

But the next moment——

"Your fists are so weak, they're not that great, are they?"

Qin Xiao gave a faint smile.

Then his gaze suddenly turned cold. "Let me teach you what a fist really is!"

The words fell.

Qin Xiao then raised his fist.

It was also just one punch.

However, its power was not as earth-shattering as Luo Yue's; instead, it looked ordinary and unremarkable.

But facing this punch...

Luo Yue was terrified, his eyes filled with boundless fear and despair.

Because at this moment, only he could truly feel the terror of Qin Xiao's punch.

As a punch came hurtling towards him, he seemed to see in his mind a towering, blood-red demonic bull roaring as it punched him.

Faced with this punch, he was completely unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as the punch slammed into his body:

"No--"
