The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"Master Qin, you're too kind. We people of the martial world prioritize loyalty. The Qin family of Huaiyin may be afraid, but I, Zhang Dabiao, am not!"

"Well said! At worst, I'll just have a scar the size of a bowl. I'll be a hero again in eighteen years!"

"Hahaha, if we martial arts practitioners are afraid of death, we might as well find a wife and retire from the martial arts world!"

"The Embroidered Uniform Guard? Ha! I've had my eye on them for a long time. Instead of arresting all the corrupt officials in the court, they're sticking their noses into the underworld. They're just asking for trouble!"

"Master Qin! Although I am old and cannot kill Chu Xiu, there are Jinyiwei garrisons everywhere in this world. My old bones can still cause trouble for these Jinyiwei garrisons and kill dozens or even hundreds of Jinyiwei cavalry!"

"Correct!"

"Fuck you!"

"..."

Thousands of people in the martial arts world were outraged, and their voices shook the heavens.

The sound of swords being drawn was incessant!

The entire training ground was filled with a murderous aura and a heroic spirit!

"Thank you, thank you all, heroes and valiant men!"

With tears in his eyes and an excited expression, Qin Yun bowed once more to the thousands of people in the martial arts world.

"You are ignorant and arrogant. With just this group of people, you think you can fight against the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the imperial court? Are you trying to rebel?"

A cold, indifferent voice rang out in the number one manor in the world.

This single voice sent chills down the spines of everyone in the entire number one manor, as if a fear had seeped into the depths of their very souls.

Qin Lie appeared on the training ground with his hands behind his back, looking down at the entire training ground from his high position.

An extremely terrifying aura emanated from him, crushing down upon the entire martial arts arena and even the entire number one manor in the world.

This single aura alone seemed capable of crushing the entire number one manor in the world!

Click, click...

It felt as if Qin Lie's aura was crushing the bones in the bodies of all the martial arts practitioners.

One after another, martial arts figures were forced to kneel down under Qin Lie's overwhelming aura.

In a blink of an eye.

The entire training ground, and even the entire number one manor in the world, was already filled with a dark mass of kneeling people.

"Tick, tick..."

Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from the foreheads of the group of martial arts practitioners onto the ground.

In this atmosphere of deathly silence.

The sound of every drop of sweat falling was crystal clear.

This one voice made the strings of every person in the martial arts world tighten.

It instilled in them an overwhelming sense of fear, as if they had even stopped breathing.

"Elder Qin Lie..."

Qin Yun's expression changed slightly. Looking at Qin Lie, who stood above the martial arts arena, his pupils shrank, and he exclaimed in disbelief.

Qin Yun had naturally met Qin Lie before.

This man is one of the top experts in the Qin family of Huaiyin, and his status in the family is second only to Qin Yu and Qin Yuan, who is the Grand Elder.

His cultivation level was the same as Qin Yu's, both at the peak of the ninth level of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Qin Yun could understand why the Qin family of Huaiyin did not avenge Qin Yu.

After all, the Qin family of Huaiyin was a large and influential family with many members.

They could not possibly disregard the thousands of members of the Qin clan in Huaiyin for the sake of Qin Yu.

However, he did not expect that Qin Lie would appear at this moment.

And they clearly came with hostility!

Could it be that the Qin family of Huaiyin not only dared not offend the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but also surrendered to the imperial court?

In an instant, Qin Yun's grief and indignation surged, and he stared at Qin Lie with bloodshot eyes, filled with incomprehension.

"die!"

Qin Lie gripped the hilt of his sword at his waist with his right hand, drew his sword from its sheath, and launched a sword attack at Qin Yun from above!

This sword strike is none other than the world's number one sword technique, renowned throughout the land by the Qin family of Huaiyin.

However, his "Number One Sword Under Heaven" is different from Qin Yu's "Number One Sword Under Heaven".

His intent was murderous!

The killing intent was terrifying beyond measure!

It's as if everything in the world can be killed!

When this sword was unleashed, the entire world turned blood red, as if one were amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

This is murderous intent that illuminates heaven and earth!

only.

Qin Lie poured all his strength into this single sword strike.

Instead of using his aura to suppress the martial arts arena or the entire Qin family of Huaiyin, he made the group of martial artists seem to come back to life. They all showed a relieved expression and breathed heavily.

At this moment.

These martial arts practitioners then discovered that the ground in front of them was already soaking wet.

The ground was soaked with their sweat.

"Elder Qin Lie, why?"

Why did the Qin family of Huaiyin choose to join the Embroidered Uniform Guard?

"If you won't avenge your master, then why do you still choose to join the Embroidered Uniform Guard and work for them?"

Seeing Qin Lie's sword coming at him, Qin Yun's face showed an extremely bitter smile. He didn't even have the thought of resisting. He raised his head and roared angrily with a face full of unwillingness.

As a master at the level of a human immortal.

He could tell at a glance that Qin Lie's sword strike was something he couldn't possibly withstand!

He was only at the first level of the Human Immortal Realm, yet Qin Lie treated him as a peer expert at the peak of the ninth level of the Human Immortal Realm?

He had no power to resist such a sword strike!

He just wanted to know why the Qin family of Huaiyin had chosen to join the Embroidered Uniform Guard and work for them.

"The number one manor in the world is ultimately related to our Qin family of Huaiyin."

"You want to deal with the Marquis? This is treason!"

"Your rebellion will bring ruin to the entire Qin family of Huaiyin, do you understand?"

Qin Lie said calmly.

The sword in his hand was less than ten feet away from Qin Yun!

"That's it, I understand!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun's face revealed a hint of mockery.

Suddenly, he drew his sword from its sheath with his right hand and swung it at Qin Lie.

His sword strike was not for survival, but for a desperate fight!

Even if he couldn't take Qin Lie with him, he was willing to die, he would make Qin Lie pay a heavy price!

"An ant cannot shake a tree!"

Qin Lie shook his head. With a single sword strike, an arm flew off, crimson blood gushing out, and a long sword clattered to the ground.

The arm that flew up was Qin Yun's right arm.

"what……"

Qin Yun cried out in agony, his left hand instinctively clutching his shoulder where he had lost his right arm.

Blood seeped continuously from his palms, staining half of his body crimson.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you!"

"Your life is to be taken by the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

Qin Lie pointed his longsword at Qin Yun.

only.

He did not kill Qin Yun.

Just as he said.

Strands of sword energy landed on Qin Yun's body, sealing all the acupoints on his body.

Qin Yun could only stand motionless on the high platform, looking at Qin Lie with eyes full of hatred.

If looks could kill, Qin Lie would have been torn to pieces by now!

He couldn't feel such hatred, even if he died under the blade of the Embroidered Uniform Guard or under Chu Xiu's sword.

What he truly hated was that the person who severed his right hand, completely depriving him of any chance of revenge, was not an outsider, but the Qin family of Huaiyin!

Qin Lie stood on the high platform, sword in his right hand, calmly gazing at the thousands of martial arts practitioners in the arena.

The courage of the martial arts practitioners was shattered in that instant!

His initial enthusiasm was doused with cold water, and he was completely sobered up.

Qin Yun, a cultivator at the Human Immortal Realm, couldn't even withstand a single sword strike from Qin Lie. Faced with Qin Lie, this terrifyingly powerful peerless expert, they were like cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Since Qin Lie remained silent, they dared not move.

They were afraid that Qin Lie would slash at them from afar with his sword because of their actions.

at this time!

"kill!"

A deafening sound rang out from outside the number one manor in the world.

then!

One after another, figures stormed into the Number One Manor in the World from all directions.
