The man looked down at his chest in disbelief.
There, he saw a pale hand clutching a still-beating heart.
“This is… ”
The intense pain only now arrived. He wanted to fight back, but Qin Xuan merely squeezed hard.
“Boom!”
The heart exploded, and blood immediately splattered in all directions.
“Die!”
Qin Xuan withdrew his hand and punched the opponent’s head again, sending red and white matter flying everywhere.
“Filthy thing, you’ve truly dirtied my hands!”
Pulling a piece of cloth from the side to wipe his blood-soaked hand, Qin Xuan looked up at the other person, who was already dumbfounded.
“Next, it’s your turn. Tell me, how do you wish to die?”
After a slight pause, the smile on Qin Xuan’s face grew wider.
“Two paths. First, fight me and then die miserably! Or, you can kneel and beg me, and perhaps I can let you die with some dignity.”
“Thud!”
As soon as Qin Xuan finished speaking, the man immediately knelt down.
“I choose the third path! I am willing to be Young Master’s dog, I only ask for a way to live!”
The strength and speed Qin Xuan displayed earlier made him realize that he was no match for the opponent at all.
He just wanted to live!
“Ah, you!”
Qin Xuan had never expected this person to kneel so quickly; it caught him completely off guard.
“I thought all of you with Barbarian Bloodline would be some kind of hard bones…”
Qin Xuan looked at the opponent mockingly.
Before, this group of people wasn't like this.
At that time, each of them was arrogant and overbearing.
He had originally thought this person would also be a hard bone, but to Qin Xuan’s surprise, this person bowed his head so quickly.
“Young Master flatters me. I am merely an insignificant ant. Please, Young Master, overlook my shortcomings and grant me a path to life. This humble one will be eternally grateful…”
“Stop with the nonsense. From now on, you answer whatever I ask. If you dare to conceal anything, I will let you know what regret feels like.”
Seeing that this person had indeed bowed his head, Qin Xuan was too lazy to waste more time with him and directly questioned him.
He did not want to waste too much time on this matter.
“Yes, Young Master, just ask. Whatever I, Yang Xiong, know, I will tell you everything.”
This man nodded his head like pounding garlic.
Seeing that Yang Xiong was quite sensible, Qin Xuan was also too lazy to say any more nonsense.
“Your Young Lord wants you to capture me alive and bring me back?”
Yang Xiong nodded hastily.
“Yes, Young Master displayed great Divine Might today. That brat, Yang Lin, naturally couldn’t stand it and insisted on going against Young Master. Isn’t that just asking for humiliation?”
“Get to the point.”
“Yes, Yang Lin wants us to capture Young Master alive and bring him to the stronghold outside the city. From his words, he intends to harm Young Master.”
Yang Xiong naturally knew that some unpleasant words should not be spoken, so he honestly confessed.
“Stronghold? You people from the Southern Border have built a stronghold near the Great Qian Capital?”
This was a rare occurrence.
Although Great Qian was just a small country, it shouldn't be so unaware that someone built a stronghold near its capital, right?
Seeing Qin Xuan, Yang Xiong probably guessed Qin Xuan’s thoughts and immediately explained.
“It’s a temporary stronghold. It was established by our Lord… Yang Family Head Yang Ye, who led people to build it. The scale isn’t large either. There are some Yang Family members guarding it.”
Could it be that the people of the Southern Border had gone mad? Was setting up a stronghold here for the purpose of attacking the Eastern Region?
That shouldn’t be the case.
Although the Eastern Region was currently in chaos, with small countries divided and major Sects scheming against each other.
But to take over the Eastern Region, the Southern Border would at least suffer heavy losses to its Origin Qi.
At that time, the Central State would not let the Southern Border off.
“What is the Yang Family Head doing building a stronghold here? Also, why are there so many people? According to the agreement, not so many people should have come, right?”
Qin Xuan asked curiously. Yang Xiong hesitated slightly but immediately began to explain.
“Young Master doesn’t know, but there’s a reason for this. Ever since the news of the Kun Peng Nest opening came, the Yang Family Head brought many Family Disciples to the Eastern Region to prepare in advance.”
“After learning that the Da Qian Auction House would be auctioning the seven stars restriction breaking pearl, Yang Ye immediately brought people to the vicinity of the Great Qian Capital to prepare in advance, and then let that fool Yang Lin enter the city to participate in the auction.”
Listening to this, Qin Xuan raised his eyebrows.
“Prepare in advance? Is it to meet Yang Lin?”
Qin Xuan was a little curious, and Yang Xiong quickly shook his head.
“No, it’s to be prepared to seize it if the auction fails.”
This was about killing people and seizing treasures.
Qin Xuan’s expression became solemn.
He hadn't expected these people to be so ruthless in their methods.
“Killing people and seizing treasures? This is the Great Qian Capital. Do they dare?”
The Great Qian Capital had the Supreme Emperor of the Death Yuan Realm overseeing it.
“What is there to not dare? Great Qian is just a small country. A small country simply doesn’t dare to offend the Southern Border Yang Family.”
“Even if our clan only sent a small portion of people this time, this is not something Great Qian can withstand. What’s more, with the Kun Peng Nest opening this time, it’s not just people from our Southern Border who have come; there are even more people from the Central State and the Western Desert.”
“Young Master, what you see now is just the tip of the iceberg. There are more forces hiding in the dark to avoid drawing attention.”
“This time, everyone has gone to great lengths to compete for this Kun Peng Nest. Everyone wants to obtain the Legacy within the Kun Peng Nest.”
“Furthermore, according to the information we’ve gathered, the Supreme Emperor of Great Qian should have already left the Great Qian Capital and headed towards the Kun Peng Nest.”
“A Cultivator of the Three Yuan Realm, besides those great Sects and major forces, this is already the most top-tier combat power. He must have gone there to be responsible for guarding and defending.”
As Yang Xiong spoke, Qin Xuan suddenly understood.
Although a strong Dragon does not suppress a local snake, there were simply too many strong Dragons here this time, so many that the local snake dared not show its face at all.
On the other hand, it was also because the pillar of the Da Qian Dynasty, the Great Qian Supreme Emperor, was not here now.
“No matter which Family bids for the restriction breaking pearl, they definitely won’t keep it in the city. They’ll certainly take it out, and at that time, Yang Ye will lead his people to burst out.”
Yang Xiong poured out everything he knew.
Listening to Yang Xiong's explanation, Qin Xuan's heart stirred, and he understood.
Since the local power of Great Qian dared not show its face, the remaining forces would naturally rely on their own abilities.
No matter which Family obtained this item, others would target them, so they would definitely take the acquired item and leave immediately.
“In this way, a chaotic battle is unavoidable.”
A hint of greed inexplicably arose in his heart.
However, he immediately suppressed this greed.
“I cannot covet this restriction breaking pearl. This item would be a great disaster if I got my hands on it.”
Other forces regarded this restriction breaking pearl as a hot potato; Qin Xuan, if not foolish, should understand how dangerous this item was.
