Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

Qin Quan stood in the center of the golden bell, his posture upright and his expression calm. He did not move an inch and did not take Xie Yanke's attack seriously at all.

Xie Yanke's offensive slowed down, and his strength gradually waned.

"Have you had enough?"

Qin Quan slowly raised his eyes, his voice icy and chilling.

"Next, it's my turn."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly gathered power in his right fist. The nine golden pills in his dantian rotated in unison, and the vast spiritual power surged like a river and sea, all converging on the tip of his fist.

The immense force caused the air to vibrate violently, and the surrounding space to distort slightly.

Before the fist even arrived, the terrifying pressure had already locked down the entire battlefield. Wherever the fist shadow swept, the air was instantly sucked out, forming a vacuum zone!

Xie Yanke felt a chill run down his spine; the threat of death instantly gripped his entire body, and he was filled with dread!

"not good!"

He dared not hesitate for a moment, forcibly squeezing out the remaining spiritual power in his body, hastily blocking with both palms, while his body retreated at an extremely fast speed, trying to avoid this fatal blow.

But how terrifying was the speed of Qin Quan's long-awaited, deadly punch?

His retreat was as slow as a snail compared to Qin Quan's.

In the blink of an eye.

The overwhelming force of the punch had already reached him!

boom!

A dull, explosive sound suddenly rang out.

Xie Yanke's hastily formed palm strike was instantly crushed by a punch, which landed heavily on his chest without any resistance.

He was like a cannonball, his body flying backward and crashing hard into the courtyard wall behind him.

Boom!

The solid stone wall cracked and collapsed with a crash, and the entire house collapsed. The dust and debris instantly buried Xie Yanke's figure.

The entire room fell silent!

Jiang Yunshan and the group of Jiang family elders and guards stood frozen in place, their eyes wide open, completely dumbfounded.

They had long heard that Elder Yinlong was exceptionally talented and possessed extraordinary combat power, but they always thought it was just hearsay.

Seeing it with my own eyes today, I finally understand what true terror is!

A veteran Golden Core expert was crushed and sent flying by Qin Quan's single punch.

Qin Quan's gaze was icy as he swept across the entire room, finally settling on the trembling Jiang Yunshan.

"Jiang Yunshan, don't say I'm giving you a chance. Show me all your cards."

What other tricks does Jiang Yunshan have up his sleeve?

Under such overwhelming power, his psychological defenses completely collapsed.

His legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud, trembling all over, his clothes soaked with cold sweat, looking utterly disheveled.

"Ninth Elder! It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"

He hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, his attitude extremely humble.

"I never intended to confine Yao Yao; Xie Yanke forced me to do it. I had no choice!"

"Oh?"

A mocking coldness flashed across Qin Quan's eyes.

Just moments ago, the Jiang family patriarch was bullying others and had a tough attitude, but now he's such a spineless coward.

No wonder, even the Golden Core Protector of the Hidden Immortal Sect was blasted away by his punch. If Jiang Yunshan still dares to be stubborn, his only fate will be death.

The three heavily injured peak Martial Kings standing to the side had completely lost their former arrogance, collapsing to the ground, silent as cicadas in winter, not even having the courage to raise their heads.

Qin Quan stepped forward, and his aura intensified.

"I don't care if you did it voluntarily or under duress, I just want Jiang Yao. Bring her out immediately!"

"Yes! Yes! I'll send someone to fetch Yao Yao right away."

Jiang Yunshan dared not delay and immediately roared for his servants to bring people along.

After a while.

Two maids carefully helped a slender figure out.

It was Jiang Yao.

After not seeing him for half a month, he had lost a lot of weight, his face was as pale as paper, and there were dried dark red bloodstains at the corners of his mouth.

His clothes were filthy and covered in dust, and there was a musty, rotten smell about him, which showed that he had suffered a lot these days.

Even in this dire situation, the first thing she did upon seeing Xia Ruoxi was to force herself to bow respectfully, despite her weakened state.

"Yaoyao greets Senior Sister."

Seeing her trying to appear calm, Xia Ruoxi felt a pang of heartache and quickly stepped forward to help her up, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Qin Quan, standing to the side, had a murderous intent in his eyes and a burning rage in his chest.

He turned and stared intently at Jiang Yunshan, his voice icy and chilling.

"Explain yourself clearly. What exactly happened? If you can't give a clear explanation today, the Jiang family has no reason to exist."

Just as Jiang Yunshan was about to speak in his defense, the weak Jiang Yao gently raised her hand and interrupted him.

"You brat, don't push him."

"This is all a conspiracy by the Hidden Immortal Sect. They kidnapped my parents and used them to coerce my grandfather into imprisoning me. Their aim is to use me as bait to lure you to the capital."

Jiang Yunshan quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes! This was all the Hidden Immortal Sect's idea. They knew you killed True Person Yuanlong, so they deliberately set a trap, using the marriage as a pretext to detain Yaoyao, lure you into their scheme, and then ambush and kill you!"

"You think Xie Yanke can kill me?"

Qin Quan scoffed, his eyes flashing even colder.

The Hidden Immortal Sect discovered that he had killed Yuanlong and possessed the Qi Refining Technique. They had set up such a grand scheme, yet they only sent a Golden Core Guardian to intercept him. They were seriously underestimating him.

Or is there another plan, a hidden scheme?

He suddenly turned his head, his sharp gaze fixed on the collapsed ruins, his eyes narrowed, and his right hand grabbed out in mid-air!

hum!

A massive, powerful hand of spiritual energy appeared out of thin air, bursting forth into the ruins, precisely locking onto Xie Yanke's figure, and pulling him out in one swift motion.

Dust settled down, and Xie Yanke, his mind hazy, barely opened his eyes, only to find that a large hand of spiritual energy was tightly gripping his neck, his life completely in Qin Quan's hands.

He struggled and roared.

"Let me go! I am a protector of the Hidden Immortal Sect. If you dare to touch me, you will suffer endless retaliation from my sect!"

"How many members of the Hidden Immortal Sect have entered the mortal world? How many lackeys are hidden in the capital? Tell us everything truthfully!"

Qin Quan's eyes were sharp as he coldly pressed for an answer.

He had figured out the whole story; the Hidden Immortal Sect had definitely locked onto him based on the message Yuan Long sent back before his death.

If he can set up a trap in Kyoto today, he will surely target those around him tomorrow.

Lin Wanrou of Jincheng and Qin Ling of Liujin Valley are both his weaknesses.

In contrast, the three senior sisters are highly skilled and have all broken through to the Golden Core stage. Even if they are no match for the enemy, they can retreat unscathed without any worries.

After a brief moment of panic, Xie Yanke calmed down, a sinister smile creeping onto his lips.

"Hahaha! Qin Quan, so even you have moments of fear and apprehension?"

"Don't think you can act recklessly just because you've defeated me. Ten years ago, you were lucky enough to escape that fire, but ten years later, the Hidden Immortal Sect has plenty of ways to make everyone you care about pay the price!"

"You're asking for it!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Quan was completely enraged, and an invisible killing intent swept over him.

"Looking for death? You wouldn't dare kill me!"

Xie Yanke's eyes were filled with madness. "If you kill me, who will cure Jiang Yao? She's been poisoned by our sect leader's unique poison, which has no cure in the world. Only I know how to suppress it!"

He thought this would give him leverage over Qin Quan, making him hesitant to kill him.

Are you threatening me?

Qin Quan's eyes suddenly turned cold, a chill that went straight to the bone.

"I'm just stating the facts."

Xie Yanke raised his head and sneered, completely unafraid.

Xia Ruoxi quickly examined Jiang Yao's pulse, and her expression changed drastically.

"Junior brother, Yao Yao does indeed have a problem."

Qin Quan didn't even glance back at Jiang Yao. He suddenly exerted force with one hand, and the giant hand of spiritual energy tightened tightly, causing Xie Yanke's neck to ache and making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Hand over the antidote!"

"This poison was created by the sect leader himself; there is no antidote!"

Xie Yanke gritted his teeth and endured it, remaining arrogant as ever.

"Since there's no cure, there's no point in keeping you around."

Qin Quan's tone was flat and devoid of any human warmth.

He suddenly raised his hand and struck Xie Yanke on the top of the head!

boom!

In an instant, the spiritual power dissipated, and the soul and spirit were destroyed.

The once arrogant Xie Yanke was utterly destroyed, his body and soul vanished.
