Chapter Forty-Three: Killing Xu Liu

  "What!" Xu Liu was shocked, his mind somewhat dizzy.

  Originally, Xu Liu suspected that Xu Qi's death was related to Qin Yong, but because Qin Yong's strength was too weak, he had never taken Qin Yong seriously. Later, seeing Qin Yong argue reasonably and forcefully, it seemed that Xu Qi's death really had nothing to do with Qin Yong, and Xu Liu also believed it. Along the way, he even saw Qin Yong find people to testify, and his sincere appearance of proving his innocence did not seem fake. Who would have thought that Qin Yong suddenly changed his previous tone, admitting that Xu Qi's death was his doing, and that he had personally killed him.

  "It's now, Sword Aura LV1 crest, kill him!" Qin Yong seized the opportunity and intentionally exposed the truth, wanting to catch Xu Liu off guard and make him reveal a flaw, so he could use the Sword Aura LV1 crest to attack.

  Jianqi LV1 seal is a restrictive attack-type seal that can be used twice. Qin Yong had already used it once against Xu Qi before, and now he has only one last chance left. However, Qin Yong didn't keep it as his trump card because the seal can be repurchased after use. Seizing the opportunity to kill the enemy is the right way.

  Qin Yong's hands moved forward, and the sword energy quickly condensed into a shape. The sword energy shot out and rushed towards Xu Liu's chest, with the most rapid momentum to kill him in one blow. Even if it didn't succeed, he wanted to severely injure Xu Liu, not giving him any chance to react or dodge in time.

  Jianqi LV1 crest, not Qin Yong's only attack-type crest. Qin Yong also has another attack-type crest. Even if Jianqi can only heavily injure Xu Liu, it's better than being dodged by him. Unlike Xu Qi, Xu Qi had always looked down on Qin Yong and held back a bit because of Qin Yu. Now that there's only Qin Yong left, Xu Liu wants to kill him even more, knowing that Xu Qi died at his hands will make the killing intent even greater. Moreover, since Xu Qi fell to Qin Yong, he won't be careless again.

  "Terrible, it's an attack on the treasure!" Xu Liu was shocked and terrified, his chest felt a chill, all the hairs on his body stood up, and he felt a strong sense of crisis.

  Just like Xu Qi, Xu Liu didn't think Qin Yong's strength had this level of skill, it must be that someone had sealed the sword energy into a treasure, as a means to encounter danger. This kind of treasure, even Yun Shaoyang didn't have many, how could Qin Yong, an humble and lowly miscellaneous disciple, possess such a treasure?

  Liu Yan! The name flashed through Xu Liu's mind, and apart from Liu Yan, he couldn't think of anyone else. Suddenly his heart felt bitter, could it be that Qin Yong was really the one Liu Yan had set her eyes on? Otherwise, with Liu Yan's personality, why would she lend him a token and give him a precious object?

  Misunderstandings arose here, and Xu Liu's desire to kill Qin Yong grew stronger. Whether it was from Qin Yong killing Xu Qi or from the Yun family having designs on Liu Yan, both were enough to make Xu Liu want to kill Qin Yong with relish. However, this matter could not be put into action for the time being, and the strong sense of crisis made Xu Liu have no choice but to face the sword energy in front of him first.

  These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and Xu Liu quickly retreated and shifted outward. Only by doing so could he gain a chance to survive amidst the extremely swift sword energy. Even if he was injured, it would be better than being struck at the vital points of his heart, which would result in instantaneous death. If luck was on his side, he might even avoid severe injury and only suffer minor wounds. As for completely dodging the attack, Xu Liu did not have such a wish when facing such swift sword energy.

  Back off! Xu Liu responded with a sword energy crisis, and the killing intent in his heart grew stronger.

  Attacking with treasures is not without restrictions, just like sealing sword energy within, sealing a few paths can only be used a few times, and there are also restrictions on containing treasures. It's not that you want to seal a few paths, you can seal a few paths. Xu Liu already knows that Xu Qi died under the sword energy, Qin Yong has used it once, now facing him again using it once more, I'm afraid it will be exhausted, even if there is still some left after breaking through the sky, at most only once.

  If he can just get through this time, it will be Qin Yong's turn to fall, Xu Liu thought fiercely in his heart.

  "You still want to kill me? Since I've lured you here and taken the initiative to attack, I won't give you another chance." Qin Yong sneered, and another emblem-like pattern appeared in his hand.

  The Sword Aura LV1 seal has been depleted, and unless Qin Yong buys another one, he won't be able to release the sword aura again. However, Qin Yong still had other seals on his hand, including another attack-type seal. But at this moment, Qin Yong wasn't using that attack-type seal; instead, he was using a new seal he had just bought last night.

  Yesterday, Xu Qi was killed, and 250 aura points were credited. Adding Qin Yong's original 32 points, there are now a total of 282 aura points. Last night, Qin Yong entered the Aura Pattern Shop again and purchased two new patterns. The one he is currently using is one of them.

  Kudzu LV1 Seal (3/3): Restrictive control-type seal, designate a location within a 10-meter radius to summon Kudzu vines to immobilize enemies. Xuanwu Boundary-level seal. Purchase conditions: Rouluo Halo or higher level, 20 Qi points.

  A level 1 Entwining Vine emblem requires twenty luck points, but it's absolutely worth it. This is a control-type emblem that can lock down the enemy's position, giving you a real chance to attack. A level 1 Entwining Vine emblem must be of a lower tier, and if the enemy dodges, the opportunity will be wasted. So Qin Yong first uses his sword energy to heavily injure the enemy, also to drive them to a certain location, grasping this brief moment is the best time for Qin Yong to use the level 1 Entwining Vine emblem.

  The pattern took shape quickly, and Xu Liu's originally retreating footsteps came to an abrupt halt. He almost fell over, but his feet seemed to be stuck in place as if something was holding them down tightly. Looking down, Xu Liu saw that a tendril had burst out of the ground, grasping his ankles firmly and creeping upwards, as if trying to lock his entire body in place.

  This was another treasure, Xu Liu was shocked and felt unbelievable and horrified by Qin Yong's move, the long sword in his hand immediately chopped towards the rattan strip, but it made a crisp sound like metal colliding, the rattan strip was not damaged at all. At this time, the sword energy had already reached his body, Xu Liu could only dodge to one side, the sword energy passed through his chest, fortunately avoiding the vital heart area.

  Only a chest-piercing, blood-flowing wound, even visible broken blood vessels and partial internal damage, this sword energy finally seriously injured Xu Liu. However, the fear in Xu Liu's heart quickly rose, the rattan had spread to his waist, his lower body completely locked and unable to move.

  Qin Yong once again used an air transport charm, and a sharp icicle suddenly appeared in mid-air, shooting straight at Xu Liu.

  Ice Thorn LV1 Seal (2/2): Restrictive Attack-type Chi Yun Seal, summons an ice thorn to attack the enemy, Xuanwu Realm-level seal. Purchase conditions: Lou Luo Halo or higher level, 12 Chi Yun points.

  This is another attack-type air operation pattern owned by Qin Yong, which is twice the price of the fireball LV1 pattern and the same as the sword energy LV1. Qin Yong has already understood that even if it is a Xuanwu realm-level pattern, there are strengths and weaknesses, after all, the Xuanwu realm is divided into nine levels: front, middle, and back. The air operation pattern does not explicitly state this, but it can be inferred from the price.

  At this time, Xu Liu had been trapped, Qin Yong was worried that Xu Liu still had some desperate measures, so he used the Ice Thorn LV1 tattoo to attack. Xu Liu saw the ice thorn appear, his eyes were dull and lifeless, already knowing his own ending, but the shock in his heart did not decrease by half, instead reaching an unprecedented level.

  Liu Yan is indeed a genius who understands the meaning of ice, and it's no wonder that she gave Qin Yong three treasures. If he wasn't Liu Yan's lover, how would he have received such attention? At this time, Xu Liu was about to die, and he also began to resent Liu Yan.

  Qin Yong didn't know what Xu Liu was thinking, but he didn't want to miss the opportunity. The LV1 Frost Thorn tattoo was strong, but it also had a time limit. Qin Yong didn't want to take risks. The ice thorn shot out and pierced Xu Liu's chest, which would thoroughly penetrate his heart and leave no room for survival.
