Chapter 81: Chapter 82: No Need to Go All Out
Seeing Lin Qian unharmed, Zhu Xiaojia, retreating in shock, exclaimed incredulously, âHow is this possible? You clearly got hit by the Soul Numbing Smoke; thereâs no way you should be able to stand.â
Lin Qian sneered and turned his head to look at Zhu Xiaojia, âWhat if Iâm immune to all poisons? From the start, your so-called Soul Numbing Smoke was utterly ineffective against me.â
âImmune to all poisons?â Lin Qianâs words caused Zhu Xiaojiaâs face to change. She truly hadnât expected that such a physique existed in the world.
âHahaha, how amusing.â At that moment, Fu Heng also scoffed with laughter, âEven if you are not poisoned, what can you do, fighting alone against the four of us?â
âLittle Qian, donât worry about us, run!â Fu Hengâs words woke Ye Xin from her daze, who, mustering her last bit of strength, urgently yelled to Lin Qian.
Fu Hengâs grandmother was not only the Grand Elder of the Divine Sword Sect but also the elder sister of her own master.
With such an elder, and given his own natural talent, Fu Hengâs power was unfathomably deep.
Although she had higher natural talent than him, she had only just broken through to the Nirvana Realm and was far from Fu Hengâs level.
It could be said that among the six disciples the Divine Sword Sect sent this time, Fu Heng was the most formidable, on par with the six proud heirs of the Shengtian Sect.
Additionally, with Zhu Xiaojia, who was also at the inner gate peak of the Divine Sword Sect, and the two who followed Fu Heng, Ma Shaoyuan and Shi Sanmei.
How could Lin Qian possibly manage against four?
Ye Xinâs shouting made Ma Shaoyuan and Shi Sanmei, who were behind Fu Heng, vigilantly watch Lin Qian to prevent him from actually escaping.
âLittle bitch, why do you talk so much?â Zhu Xiaojia glanced at Ye Xin and revealed a cruel smile, saying to Lin Qian, âNo matter what, today you, all of you, are dead for sure, hahaha.â
Nestled in Lin Qianâs arms, Ye Xin also hurriedly urged, âLittle Qian, run, donât worry about me anymore!â
Lin Qian gently placed Ye Xin on the ground, reassuring her with a calm voice, âDonât worry, theyâre nothing.â
As soon as Lin Qian finished speaking, Ye Xin saw the figure before her vanish, leaving only a flash of crimson gold lightning inside the building.
In the next moment, Lin Qian, bathed in the glow of his crimson-gold Thunder Soul Power, already appeared in front of Zhu Xiaojia.
Lin Qianâs sudden charge shocked Zhu Xiaojia into hastily consolidating her Soul Power.
After all, as a peak disciple of the inner gate of the Divine Sword Sect, her reaction speed was swift, and her Gold Attribute Soul Power instantly enveloped her body like an indestructible barrier.
Just as Zhu Xiaojia breathed a sigh of relief, she saw a hint of disdainful mockery on Lin Qianâs face, and a flicker of electric light in his pupils.
âYouâre too weak!â As Lin Qian spoke, he reached out towards the person in front of him.
Crackle and snapâŠ
The sound of Lin Qianâs Thunder Soul Power filled the air, and his right hand effortlessly tore through Zhu Xiaojiaâs protective Soul Power with a gentle push.
Bang!
Zhu Xiaojiaâs form staggered and she was thrust backward, crashing into the wall forcefully, sliding down to the ground while spewing fresh blood from her mouth.
Holding her chest, Zhu Xiaojia looked up at Lin Qian in horror. Her pupils constricted, and she sat paralyzed on the ground like sheâd seen a ghost, âImpossible, how can this be!â
Because she clearly saw that the Soul Light flickering with crimson-gold thunder on Lin Qianâs body had as many as twelve layers.
The number of layers of Soul Light represents how many cycles of Nirvana a Soul Martial Artist completed before breaking through to the Nirvana Realm at the age of eighteen.
In Zhu Xiaojiaâs understanding, a Soul Martial Artist who had completed nine rounds of Nirvana was considered a proud scion of the Coastal State, a celebrated child of heaven, a truly dazzling genius.
Yet the Lin Qian before him possessed twelve layers of Soul Light, meaning that his breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm involved twelve rounds of Nirvana.
âHow can this be!â Fu Heng, who stood beside him, also shouted in shock, âAfter nine rounds of Nirvana, itâs simply impossible to dissolve Soul Power. How could you achieve twelve rounds of Nirvana!â
Ma Shaoyuan and Shi Sanmei, who were behind Fu Heng, were completely stunned at this moment, unable to utter a single word.
âLittle Qian, youâŠâ Ye Xin, slumped on the ground, also showed eyes full of wonder, looking at Lin Qian in disbelief.
She really hadnât expected Lin Qian to accomplish such an unimaginable and utterly impossible feat.
Snap!
Just then, the crisp sound of shattering rose, causing the expressions of Fu Heng and the others to change dramatically.
Because they clearly saw Lei Qian and the others take out a bottle made of transparent crystal and, after pouring the dark grey potion inside into their mouths, they all managed to stand up.
Lin Qian also crouched down at this moment, took out a Crystal Bottle, and fed the dark grey potion to Ye Xin.
After consuming the dark grey potion, Ye Xin was amazed to find her previously numb Soul Power rapidly reviving, and her weak limbs returned to normal.
The potion in the Crystal Bottle was a Detoxification Potion, albeit a low-grade one. It was easily able to handle such simple poison.
Lei Qian and the others also had some low-grade potions given by Lin Qian, as such things were deemed practically worthless to him. Giving some away was no harm and would even get them to owe him favors.
Fu Hengâs expression darkened terribly at this moment, and even a hint of fear emerged in his heart.
The Lin Qian before him had broken through with twelve rounds of Nirvana. What a monstrous talent, and now he had already incurred a deadly feud with him.
Moreover, the poison from the Soul Numbing Smoke could only be removed by a Detoxification Pill of Upper C grade, which could be quite valuable. Lin Qian and the others shouldnât possibly have it.
Yet, they managed to neutralize the poison of the Soul Numbing Smoke through a strange liquid.
The situation had turned disadvantageous in an instant.
âGrandma, youâve really doomed me. How is Lin Qian a talentless trash? Heâs downright a monster,â Fu Heng gritted his teeth, staring at Lin Qian in front of him.
Ye Xin, who had reverted to normal, had a serene face that now seemed cold as ice, and Sword Intent that was gloomily murderous began to emerge from her entire being.
At this time, Lin Qian suddenly stretched out his hand, blocking her.
âXinxin, and you, Lei Qian, keep an eye on the other three. Leave this Fu Heng to me,â Lin Qian stared at Fu Heng in front of him and said with a grin, âYou shouldnât have done this, trying to target me.â
After Lin Qian finished speaking, his aura suddenly weakened, the oppressive force of his Soul Power also gradually diminished, and slowly transformed into six layers of Soul Light.
Everyone present understood that Lin Qian could suppress his own strength; as his Soul Power weakened, the number of Soul Light layers naturally decreased.
âLittle Qian, what are you doing?â Seeing Lin Qian suddenly suppress his strength, Ye Xin asked in confusion.
The other five, including Lei Qian, seemed to realize something and looked at Fu Heng with a scornful smile: âHe only has six layers of Soul Light now; it seems he really doesnât take this Fu Heng seriously.â
Lin Qian smiled at Ye Xin, signaling her to relax, then continued to look at Fu Heng, who was also full of doubt: âIf you want to escape this calamity, fight me. If you win, Iâll let you go.â
âOf course, to avoid any claims that I bullied you, as you can see, Iâve suppressed my strength,â Lin Qian patted his chest decisively, âI promise youâŠâ
âI absolutely wonât use my full power!â
