Asura Mad Emperor

Qin Residence Secret Room.

After a loud "boom."

The door of the secret room burst apart, and once the dust had settled, a heroic figure emerged. At this moment, the aura emanating from his body was astonishingly that of the Spirit Martial Realm's fifth layer.

Qinchuan looked at the stone door that had turned to powder before his eyes and shook his clenched fist, exclaiming in amazement.

"Awakening the Innate Essence truly is terrifying. To exert such power at the fifth layer of the Spirit Martial Realm, most cultivators of the Dao Palace Realm would not be able to break through this formation-enchanted stone door with a single punch. Unexpectedly, my punch not only shattered the stone door but also breached the origin of the Great Formation."

At that time.

Suddenly, a familiar, crisp voice rang out. Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire

"Brother! You've finally left seclusion!"

Following the voice, Qinchuan saw Qin Xiaoyu and Zhou Xi.

He was overwhelmed with joy, his happiness from the breakthrough and the awakening of the Innate Body momentarily forgotten, as he hurried over to greet them.

Zhou Xi's beautiful eyes shimmered as she looked Qinchuan up and down, saying gently and admiringly, "Congratulations to the young master on yet another breakthrough."

Qin Xiaoyu bounced over and jumped into Qinchuan's arms in three steps.

Qinchuan gently and carefully patted Qin Xiaoyu's head, as if afraid of hurting her.

The once Asura King reincarnated through nine lives, showing such a tender and refined demeanor, would surely astound the former Divine Emperors and Ghost Emperors if they saw it.

"Xiaoyu, you've grown quite a bit taller since I last saw you!"

Qin Xiaoyu, merely eleven years old, was in the midst of growing. Combined with her awakening of the Myriad Laws Treasured Body in the Congyun Sect and officially starting along the path of martial arts, her body was developing even faster. This encounter found her a full head taller than before.

Qin Xiaoyu lifted her head, her bright, big eyes brimming with vigor, and she said, "Not only has Xiaoyu grown taller, but her cultivation level has also improved a lot!"

As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyu took hold of Qinchuan's large hand and headed towards the courtyard, while saying, "Brother, come and see Xiaoyu's training achievements these past few months! It will definitely astonish you! Even Grandpa Wu said that it's amazing for someone my age to have such a cultivation level!"

Her manner was clearly that of someone eager to show off their rapid progress to the person closest to them, waiting excitedly for praise.

With a glance, Qinchuan already knew her strength had reached the Condensed Truth Realm's first layer.

Although it was only the first layer of the Condensed Truth Realm, one must bear in mind that Xiaoyu was only eleven years old, and had stepped into the martial arts path for just a few months.

Moreover, Qinchuan had previously instructed the Supreme Elder of the Congyun Sect not to deliberately guide Xiaoyu's cultivation, simply to recite the mental method to her daily.

Thus, it could be said that Xiaoyu had independently completed the Tempering Body Realm and entered the Condensed Truth Realm within just a few short months.

Such a pace, if seen in others, might be called dazzling, but for Xiaoyu with her Myriad Laws Treasured Body, Qinchuan felt no surprise.

Qinchuan did not wish to dampen Xiaoyu's enthusiastic spirits and let her lead him by the hand to the Martial Practice Field.

As they walked, Qin Xiaoyu was also drawn by the Red Luan on Qinchuan's shoulder. Her small hands reached out for it once more.

The Red Luan, always adept at reading the situation, understood that this little girl held an important place in Qinchuan's life. It let out a cry, held its head high, glanced at Qin Xiaoyu, and then willingly leaped onto her shoulder.

This immediately brought another burst of joy to Qin Xiaoyu.

Passing through the courtyard gate, there lay a massive Martial Practice Field.

On both sides of the field, there were various weapons—swords, spears, clubs, and staves—arrayed and several mannequins made from different materials such as gold, silver, iron, and bronze, meant for testing one's skills.

Qin Xiaoyu stepped onto the Martial Practice Field, prancing proudly like a little phoenix to the center of the high platform, unable to wait to show off her abilities.

The next moment, a sudden change occurred.

A feeling of extreme danger suddenly rose, as if a venomous snake hidden in the shadows had launched a fierce attack.

Then, a voice sounded from the void.

"You whelp, come meet your death!"

Suddenly, a bright, shining dagger appeared out of nowhere, its blade gleaming with a dazzling light. The spiritual power from the great path swirled around it, and then, a dry, withered hand formed at the tip of the dagger. The hand slowly grew larger, becoming a complete arm, until finally, it was a full figure.

The moment this figure appeared, the Red Luan perched on Qin Xiaoyu's shoulder reacted.

With a low cry, it flew towards the assassin.

Strangely, the assassin seemed to have already been aware of the Red Luan's presence.

Before the Red Luan could even move, he suddenly shifted and hastily retreated, then, without a word, he jumped over the courtyard wall and fled.

This series of sudden changes occurred extremely fast, like a bolt of lightning, and before anyone could react, the old man with the dagger had already scaled the wall and was long gone.

It appeared he had come with the intention to assassinate Qinchuan, but after a feint and a shout, he as if he had anticipated the Red Luan's attack, made a hasty retreat with his behavior quite odd and mysterious.

The Red Luan lunged at thin air and, spreading its wings, was about to chase after the fleeing figure.

At this moment, Qinchuan suddenly shouted, "Little Red, to the east…"

Before he could finish his sentence, two more sounds came from behind.

"Brother!"

Then Qin Xiaoyu's petite body was seen rushing towards one of the golden statues in the Martial Practice Field.

At the same time, that golden statue suddenly burst apart, and a young man in white robes emerged, revealed to be Leng Yi.

In Leng Yi's hand was a dagger that glittered with silver light, transforming into a streak of cold gleam, like a blade forged from eternal ice, stabbing toward Qinchuan, with the killing intent arriving before the blade did.

But at that moment, Xiaoyu had already leapt into action, her fragile body blocking in front of him.

In this critical juncture, Leng Yi had no time for thoughts and swung his hand, releasing a surge of green True Qi, which formed a palm imprint, pressing down toward Qin Xiaoyu.

With a "Boom!" a loud noise, Qin Xiaoyu's body took a heavy blow and was sent flying backward.@@novelbin@@

This change happened so fast. Zhou Xi, who had been outside the courtyard door, heard the commotion and only arrived now. As she entered, she saw the frail figure of Qin Xiaoyu being struck and launched through the air.

Quick as a whip, Zhou Xi immediately caught Qin Xiaoyu in her arms.

Seeing Qin Xiaoyu continuously spitting blood, her complexion wilted, her petite cheeks turning deathly pale.

Qinchuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and a boundless fury and killing intent surged within him.

He had already noticed Leng Yi hidden inside the statue, but his initial focus had been on another of the two assassins, the elder Mo Ying, who first appeared.

That Mo Ying had only been an avatar, while his true body was far off, three miles east of the Qin Residence, which was precisely what Qinchuan had been about to warn the Red Luan about.

As for the assassin within the statue, he had not given him much importance; at that moment, he was not even qualified to withstand a single strike from Qinchuan.

Qinchuan had long seen through the real intentions of the two assassins.

They had planned to use Mo Ying's avatar to divert the Red Luan's attention and lead it away. Once the Red Luan was distant, the assassin within the statue would rise suddenly, catching Qinchuan off-guard with an unexpected assassination attempt.

But, try as they might, they had not anticipated that Qin Xiaoyu would discover the assassin in the statue and confront him face-on, forcing the hand of the killer to reveal himself earlier than planned.

With her weak strength, how could she be a match for the Spirit Martial Realm assassin, Leng Yi?

That led to the scene of Qin Xiaoyu being hit and sent flying by the opponent's palm blow.
