One hit kill

  Nan Tian Xiong fell into a frenzied state, laughing maniacally and unleashing his divine might. With one swift motion, he flung out fifteen or sixteen basic talismans at the gang of burly men from the Jianghu sect who were cowering with their heads in their hands, sending them tumbling to the ground. Then, he stormed out of the city gate, disappearing into the distance.

  Nan Tianyong rushed out of the county town gate, sprinting for over ten miles, until he reached a pitch-black suburb. He looked back and saw no pursuers behind him, only then did he slow down. His entire body was already drenched in sweat, his muscles and bones aching to death, his old face revealing intense fatigue.

  Fortunately, I managed to escape.

  Nan Tian let out a breath of relief, turned his head back towards the county town with a cold smile: "Hmph, a group of insignificant ants, also thinking they can keep this immortal master, without even considering what kind of person this immortal master is! It's also because of you ants that you can't keep me."

  He still clutched the last three talismans in his hand.

  As soon as he thought of throwing out more than ten low-grade primary talismans in a fit of rage, Nan Tianyong felt an intense pain, his face scrunched up. These things were precious, and it would take at least one inferior spirit stone to exchange for one sheet. Fortunately, he still had two primary mid-grade defense talismans and one primary mid-grade attack talisman left in his hand, each worth more than ten spirit stones. The Nan family was not as wealthy as before, and they could no longer afford to be extravagant.

  Nan Tian Xiong now even has some regrets, he manipulated the Medicine King Society from behind the scenes to host this pharmaceutical conference, preparing to take down the ten major societies in one go. This plan was really too reckless. The leaders and members of the Pingzhou Ten Major Societies were more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

  Nan Tian Xiong carefully folded the last three talismans and put them into his bosom.

  As long as one is still alive, there will come a day when they rise again. I don't know how Zhonghao and Zhongjie are doing now, but for now, it's best to think of ways to reunite with them first. His eyes flashed with a fierce glint, and he began to hunt down the top masters of the Ten Great Sects one by one, allowing the Nan family to firmly grasp control over Pingzhou. Although this method is slower, it is safer.

  Just as he was thinking, Nan Tianxiong suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and it seemed that there was a pair of cold eyes staring at him in the dark wilderness. Accompanied by this was a dangerous breath. He had once deeply experienced this danger twenty years ago during the great war with the Wind family.

  "Who? Come out from hiding!"

  Nan Tianyong suddenly turned around, shouting in anger, his whole body tensed up, and one hand hastily reached into his bosom to grab the talisman paper.

  ......

  Ye Qinshi displayed his Wind Control Technique, silently and stealthily following South Heaven's Xiao in the distance. This time he was cautious, keeping a safe distance of several dozen meters away, like an old hunter in the deep mountains, quickly calculating when to make his move.

  He carefully calculated that with just one Earth Escape Technique, he could cross the dozens of meters distance and appear behind Nan Tianying.

  Nan Tian Xiong's current mana is almost depleted, unable to release any spells, and even the golden light shield has dissipated. Without the protection of the golden light shield, Nan Tian Xiong's defense is about the same as a normal person, completely vulnerable to being sliced through the throat with one sword.

  The only thing worth worrying about is that Nan Tianxiong still tightly grasped a few mysterious talismans in his hand, which could be triggered and released with just a hint of magical power. If he didn't die immediately, and Nan Tianxiong made a desperate counterattack by releasing the talismans as he died, who knows what kind of terrifying magical powers he would unleash.

  Ye Qin was thinking in his heart, whether he should wait until Nan Tianxiong was resting and meditating to recover his spiritual power before suddenly making a sneak attack.

  But what Ye Qin did not expect was that Nan Tianxiong escaped from the county town, scolded the top ten gangs, and then carefully put the last few talismans into his arms and hid them.

  If such a good opportunity is missed again, Ye Qin will feel embarrassed himself.

  Ye Qin almost lazily put the talisman into his bosom, and in an instant, he subconsciously launched a mortal attack on Nan Tianxiong with the Earth Escape Technique. It was this Earth Escape Technique that startled Nan Tianxiong's spiritual awareness.

  In an instant, Ye Qin appeared behind Nan Tianxiong, a cold gleam encircled Nan Tianxiong's neck.

  Hmph!

  Nan Tianxiong's whole body tensed up, his right hand still in his pocket, he had just touched the talisman paper, and before he could react further, he felt a chill on the back of his neck. Nan Tianxiong choked, stretched out his left hand to touch, and it was all blood. His legs went soft, and he fell to the ground... In his last consciousness before falling, he was still muttering to himself: The Nan family, would they be destroyed in his hands? Never mind, finally relieved.

  A single move of Earth Concealment, a sword flash of cold light, Nan Tian Xiong was instantly killed on the spot, his eyes wide open in death as he fell to the ground, unable to make any counterattack.

  Ye Qin succeeded with one move and immediately retreated dozens of feet away, re-concealing himself in the darkness.

  He was overjoyed in his heart, but still kept calm and cautious, and did not move the body, but chose to avoid it.

  Cultivators are somewhat different from ordinary people. Even if they suffer fatal injuries, they may not die immediately. Just like Nan Zhonghao, whose entire chest cavity was split open by a treasured sword, yet he could still move for a few moments. Nan Tianying's right hand entered his bosom, and it couldn't be seen whether he did anything with his hand or not.

  After a long time, Nan Tianxiong's body did not respond at all.

  Ye Qin now had enough time and patience, patiently waiting for nearly half a quarter of an hour.

  A strange object suddenly appeared.

  Ye Qin was astonished to see a thumb-sized pale red primordial spirit carefully drilling out of Nan Tianying's corpse, looking around suspiciously, shaking and swaying, seemingly not very adapted to floating, then hastily breaking through the air and flying away, turning left and right, disappearing in the blink of an eye into the dark wilderness.

  Is this Nantian Xiong's primordial spirit?

  Ye Qin was stunned for a moment, watching as the pale red light ball flew away.

  Ye Qin did not go after the Yuan Shen. He was very clear that with his Wind Control Technique, he could jump out several zhangs at most, but the Yuan Shen could travel more than a li in the blink of an eye. With his own speed using the Wind Control Technique, it was fundamentally impossible to catch up with the Yuan Shen's speed as it broke through the air and escaped.

  A second-level cultivator's primordial spirit can't survive for long without a physical body. If it can't find a host with spiritual roots to possess, or be sealed into some kind of spiritual object like Old Ghost Nan Tianba, the yang energy will dissipate all its primordial energy within days, and the primordial spirit will disperse along with it. It's also impossible for it to randomly find an ordinary mortal to possess; ordinary mortals don't have spiritual roots and can't withstand the massive primordial energy after possession, they'll self-destruct and die, and the primordial spirit will be finished along with them. Nan Tianying's primordial spirit may have escaped, but it won't necessarily live for many more days. So there's no need to chase after it.

  Ye Qin saw that Nan Tianyong's primordial spirit had escaped, and the corpse shouldn't be able to move anymore, so he finally felt at ease and came to Nan Tianyong's side, using his sword to pry open Nan Tianyong's right hand and searching the body.

  He quickly searched out several items from Nan Tianying's arms and the package behind him.

  Three yellow talismans, a copy of the "Wind Spirit Scripture" cultivation method secret manual, a thick copy of the "Five Elements Basic Spell Manual", a copy of the "Nan Clan Genealogy", five or six pieces of colored spirit stones, a strange token, and three or four small bottles of elixir.

  Those three yellow talismans, including a "Vajra Talisman", an "Earth Armor Talisman" and a "Wind Arc Talisman", with the names of the talismans written in various colored powders on the talisman paper, are clear at a glance.

  That yellow token is hard in texture, and I don't know what material it's made of. The front side is engraved with "Xianren Road Guide", and the back side is engraved with "Wu Guo Pingzhou Nan Shi" (meaning Wu State Pingzhou South Clan), but I have no idea what it's used for.

  Ye Qin knew that the two words "road lead" referred to a kind of pass, which was required in each county town of the state of Wu. Just like in Zhugai County Town, the city guards would often check the road leads of suspicious people entering the city, and those without one were not allowed to enter.

  But as for "Xianren Road Guide", he had never heard of it.

  Those six or seven pieces of spiritual stones are enough for him to use for several months. As for those few bottles of elixirs, I don't know what they're used for, but they should be the spiritual pills and wonderful medicines that cultivators use. Let's take them all without hesitation.

  What delighted Ye Qin the most was that thick book, "The Complete Book of Five Elements Basic Spells". He flipped through it casually and saw that it actually recorded the basic spells of the eight major elemental systems: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, ice, and lightning.

  Inside, there are no lack of attacking spells, defensive spells and auxiliary spells.

  Aggressive magic spells, for him, are undoubtedly the most helpful. If he can master the aggressive magic spells inside, he will no longer have to suffer from the threats of the old ghost Nan Tianba in the Purple Mansion. This is what he wants most.

  Ye Qin unceremoniously took all these things. After carefully searching the corpse, he couldn't find anything else, which made him somewhat disappointed. The Nan family was so poor that even the head of the family didn't have many good things on him, which was far from what Ye Qin had imagined about the Nan family.
