Qin Dynasty: Starting with a free Fire Kirin Sword

Lin Qi's plan led to his severed limbs, a decline in his condition, and a significant reduction in his strength. These problems have become a lingering shadow over him these past few days.

Hearing the sarcasm in Lin Qi's tone now caused him a pang of pain in his heart.

"Lin Qi, you've reached the end of your road, yet you still dare to mock me?"

"Soon, I will cut off your four branches and deal with you slowly and deliberately."

Yu Tu's face contorted in a ferocious expression, with veins bulging on his forehead.

At this moment, Lin Qi's gaze turned to a corner.

He said calmly, "There should be another person over there, right?"

Upon hearing this, both Yu Tu and Xian Zong were stunned.

Before they could react, a rustling sound came from the woods where Lin Qi's gaze fell.

Immediately afterwards, a person wearing a cloak came out.

"Truly a genius of the Black Ice Guard, knowing of my presence from a mere fleeting glimpse of killing intent."

The newcomer stopped, and a calm voice rang out.

"That voice... is it... Yan Dan?"

Lin Qi raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise on his face.

Upon hearing these words, the newcomer slowly lifted the cloak covering his head.

The cloak fell to the ground, revealing a familiar face.

That's right, it was Yan Dan who had secretly fled.

Yan Dan didn't seem too surprised when Lin Qi recognized her.

Because he did not hide his voice.

For a Grandmaster-level expert, it is possible to recognize many people just by their voice, so it is reasonable that Lin Qi recognized them.

Upon seeing Yan Dan appear, neither Yu Tu nor Xian Zong showed any surprise.

Because they already knew where Yan Dan was hiding.

Yan Dan was able to escape successfully entirely thanks to the secret assistance of Lord Changping and his associates.

After Yan Dan revealed her true appearance, she looked at Lin Qi and smiled:

"Lin Qi, are you confused?"

"I was clearly being pursued by the Luo Wang organization, so why am I here, and in Nanyang County no less?"

"Not only that, I've also joined forces with farmers to participate in the plan targeting you."

Lin Qi shook his head slightly after hearing this.

Then, a strange smile appeared on his face: "I understand."

"I know?" Yan Dan was slightly taken aback, and her smile froze instantly.

Lin Qiping looked at Yan Dan calmly and slowly said, "All of this is nothing more than a series of actions planned by someone in conjunction with you."

"First, you deliberately exposed a flaw, causing the fifth-level expert monitoring you to notice something amiss, and then your true strength was accidentally discovered; as a result, in order to avoid the Qin court abolishing your strength, you had no choice but to secretly escape."

"This plan is flawless and impeccable."

"Secondly, you deliberately spread the news that you possessed a bronze treasure box, inducing the Luo Wang to launch a full-scale attack, thereby diverting the Luo Wang's strength and involving a high-ranking member of the Black Ice Platform."

"In fact, you don't have that bronze box at all, and even if you did, you wouldn't be able to carry it with you."

"

"As for you yourself, you have already quietly escaped; the net is only chasing your old steward."

"

As Lin Qi finished speaking, his gaze turned to Yan Dan.

Faced with these words, Yan Dan chose to remain silent.

Lin Qi's speculation clearly hit the nail on the head.

Seeing this, Lin Qi chuckled and continued:

"The second step is for the farmers to send highly skilled martial artists to attack the supply convoys transporting supplies to the palace."

"

"The death of a Grandmaster-level expert and the theft of palace treasures will surely enrage His Majesty, who will order a thorough investigation."

"

"Therefore, the other two leaders of the Black Ice Platform and the high priest of the Yin-Yang School must be mobilized."

As a result, I was the only expert left to oversee the Black Ice Platform in the entire city of Xianyang.

"

"If I'm not mistaken, the one who could annihilate a powerful expert at the peak of the second level of the Grandmaster realm, three ordinary Grandmasters, and even more than 1,300 elite troops, and completely eliminate the palace supplies, must have been led by the peasant leader Tian Guang and his men, right?"

After hearing these words, Yu Tu and Emperor Xuanzong remained silent.

In fact, all of this was indeed the result of a joint operation by their leader, Tian Guang, and his companions.

This further confirms the accuracy of Lin Qi's predictions regarding the second phase of the entire incident.

Seeing this, Lin Qi smiled and then spoke:

"The final step was for Xuanzong to change his identity, conceal his strength, and impersonate a fifth-rank grandmaster to cause a disturbance in the Nanyang region and create a situation. The news was then quickly transmitted to Xianyang."

"

"Out of concern that I might not leave on my own initiative, I specifically reported to the emperor; I, who have just been promoted to the first-level grandmaster, am just right to handle this situation and complete my mission."

"

"Therefore, without much consideration, His Majesty ordered me to leave the city to investigate this sudden event."

"

"Oh my goodness... This meticulous arrangement is absolutely flawless and impeccable."

"

In the end, Lin Qi gently shook his head, revealing an expression of admiration.

Then he said:

"The next step is to take advantage of my arrival in Nanyang to lure me out of the city, and then set a trap to ambush and kill me."

The plan is now in effect.

"

"By the way, I can further analyze that once I am **, I can deliver a fatal blow to the Black Ice Platform and eliminate one of the top forces of the Qin Dynasty in the future."

"

"At the same time, Yan Dan's pursuit will expose his imposter status, and the real Yan Dan will return safely to Yan after killing me."

"

"As for clues about those palace supplies, even in-depth investigations will yield nothing; countless treasures will be quietly transferred to the hands of farmers."

"

"In the end, all these events will come to nothing."

"

"Am I interpreting all of this reasonably?"

Lin Qi looked around at the faces of Yan Dan and the other two, a gentle smile on his face.

After a long silence, Yan Dan finally spoke: "Monster!"

Indeed, most of what Lin Qi said was correct.

Such a fearsome figure made Yan Dan ponder deeply, and he felt both shocked and admiring.

However, he also developed a deep hostility towards the person in front of him.

The more outstanding he is, the more it means that Lin Qi's death is already inevitable.

Although he sensed Yan Dan's undisguised **intentions**

When those words were spoken, Yan Dan, Yu Tu, and Xuan Zong were instantly frozen in shock, as if struck by lightning.

Previously, they expressed shock at Lin Qi's analysis.

At this moment, there was utter panic!

Lin Qi actually already knew about the Right Chancellor Changping Jun who was hiding behind it!

After a long silence.

Yan Dan swallowed hard, barely managing to squeeze out the words: "How...how did you know?"

Lin Qiwei grinned, revealing his teeth, and replied, "What do you think?"

The three of them fell into yet another silence.

A heavy silence filled the air.

After a while.

Beside them, Yu Tu's voice, filled with fear and resentment, came quickly: "We can't delay any longer. We must get rid of him immediately and then leave this place."

Indeed, Yu's followers had begun to feel fear.

He worried that Lin Qi had other tricks up his sleeve, and if the delay continued, reinforcements might arrive.

If that's the case, all their plans will fail.

Moreover, the person behind the scenes, Changping Jun, has now been exposed.

We must kill Lin Qi no matter what.

Upon hearing this, Xuanzong nodded heavily, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes as well.

Lin Qi is absolutely terrifying!

This kind of person absolutely cannot be let go; he must be killed.

Upon hearing this, Yan Dan's gaze lingered heavily on Lin Qi. After a moment, she nodded slightly, choosing to accept this outcome.

"Alright then, I'll take on this task!"

Seeing this, Yu Tu revealed a sinister smile, then his gaze locked onto Lin Qi, and he said with a sneer, "Originally, I wanted to play with you and slowly torture you to death."

"Unfortunately, we don't have that much time left."

After finishing speaking,

Yu Tu moved swiftly, wielding a sharp sword and shooting it at Lin Qi.

Even though his cultivation level had fallen to the early stage of the Great Completion realm, it was still more than enough for Lin Qi, who had only recently advanced to the first level of the Great Completion realm.

I will take your head with a single sword strike!

Yu Tu's eyes were bloodshot, and a fierce curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, he was only a few feet away from Lin Qi.

He gathered power in his left hand, swung his longsword with all his might, and slashed directly at Lin Qi.

The sword light pierced through the air, carrying a chilling gleam.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Qi's neck had been touched by the longsword and then sliced ​​open.

"Thud—" Accompanied by a low sound, it seemed as if the scene of a head falling to the ground was being recreated.

However, Yu Tu's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly. He realized that he did not feel any actual cutting sensation in his hand, and it seemed that he had only cut through the air.

"Something's wrong..."

Immediately afterwards, his eyes widened suddenly.

He was horrified to discover that the head, which appeared to have been severed, had suddenly vanished.

"This is an illusion!"

Yu Tu's heart tightened.

Without a doubt, what he struck was merely an illusion created by Lin Qi.

The fact that such a perfect afterimage could be created at such close range indicates that Lin Qi's speed is beyond imagination, comparable to lightning.

"This is bad, Lin Qi is deliberately showing weakness..."

Yu Tu suddenly felt a sense of alarm.

But before he could react...

A soft yet piercing sound reached my ears:

"You're too slow."

Then,

"puff--"

A beam of red light streaked across the night sky.

With a dull thud, a figure was split in two.

Its upper body flew several meters into the air before falling to one side.

The lower body remained standing.

Countless red liquids scattered and fell like fireworks.

As the head of the Gonggong Hall of the Farmers and a disciple of Yu, a master of the Grandmaster realm.

He has now been decapitated and died.

With a single sword stroke, he beheaded Yu's disciple.

Lin Qi's Fire Kirin Sword flashed a red light, pointing at the shocked Yan Dan and Xuan Zong opposite him.

His tone was calm yet firm: "Do I need help from you?"

not far away.

Watching Lin Qi kill Yu Tu with a single sword strike, Yan Dan and Xuan Zong trembled involuntarily, their eyes filled with fear.

Originally, with three against one, they thought their opponent was just a newly promoted expert who had just advanced to the first level of the Grandmaster realm, and that victory would be easily within their grasp.

Especially after witnessing Yu Tu successfully shatter Lin Qi's shadow, Yan Dan and Xian Zong lowered their guard.
