Chapter 40: Two Hundred and Fifty Qi Operations
Wow!
Qin Yong saw Xu Qi fall down, leaving only a corpse with wide open eyes that refused to close, without any signs of life. Only then did Qin Yong let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Xu Qi was after all a martial artist of the 9th rank of the Qi Wu boundary, his strength far surpassing Qin Yong's. Even with the mark of good fortune, Qin Yong couldn't easily behead him and had to wait for an opportunity. If Xu Qi hadn't underestimated Qin Yong and revealed a small opening, Qin Yong could only continue to spar with Xu Qi, waiting for the right moment to appear.
For the first time, Qin Yong felt a strange feeling in his heart after killing someone. He didn't feel nauseous or disgusted, just a bit weird. Since the opponent had already made up their mind to kill him and even laid hands on Qin Yu, Qin Yong was truly angry and still didn't regret killing Xu Qi. Soon, Qin Yong's attention was diverted elsewhere, and he put the feeling of killing someone aside.
A warm current surged from the depths of Qin Yong's body, a manifestation of the plundered Qi Yun. Qin Yong was suddenly excited, this feeling was much stronger than when he destroyed the Ling medicine before. Qin Yong suppressed the excitement in his heart and tried not to show it on the outside, otherwise, if Qin Yu saw it, she would think it was because of killing people and be misunderstood as a killer. While comforting Qin Yu, who had been scared pale, he checked his own state and suddenly Qin Yong's eyes lit up.
Host: Qin Yong
Current Air Quality: 282
Charming Aura: You possess an attractive aura, most people will take an interest in you and be willing to recruit you as their subordinate, making you the best yes-man. When you refuse a recruiter, your vitality won't be much stronger than that of a mob character, so treat each recruiter with caution, it's a guarantee for survival. This aura trains 1.5 times faster.
Dan medicine effect: Taking Qiling Dan doubles the basic cultivation speed.
Special State: Slightly enlightened, increasing your cultivation speed by 1.8 times based on the original foundation. Qi and blood replenishment, increasing your cultivation speed by 0.1 times.
"Two hundred and fifty points of aura! The opponent is just a guard, who has only reached the ninth level of aura cultivation in middle age. It can be said that he is a very ordinary martial artist, yet he also possesses two hundred and fifty points of aura. Indeed, humans are the most aura-endowed beings, and killing people is the best way to plunder aura." Qin Yong sighed inwardly.
At first, Qin Yong destroyed over a dozen spiritual herbs, which was only worth 110 points of luck. Now, he had killed just one person, and it was clear that this person was not very lucky, yet he got 250 points of luck. This discovery made Qin Yong feel both delighted and painful, as if he had the urge to transform into a killing demon, perhaps directly rising from a minor character to the main protagonist.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Qin Yu spoke up at this time, her tone filled with worry.
Qin Yong was taken aback, and immediately responded: "It's nothing to worry about. This guy ambushed us and deliberately acted in this deserted alley, but now it has become his own grave, and no one will know that we killed him."
Qin Yong was very calm, no need to worry about anyone finding out. Who would have thought that a martial artist at the 9th level of Qi Wu Jing, close to the Xuan Wu Jing level, would die at the hands of a 6th-level Qi Wu Jing martial artist? Even if Cloud Shaoyang had sent someone over, he would only think it was an accidental killing by a stronger person and wouldn't suspect Qin Yong. It could be said that Qin Yong's current weak strength actually became a reason to prove his innocence. Of course, if he encountered someone who was unreasonable and violent, they would still blame him, but Cloud Shaoyang didn't dare to do it openly, otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to ambush him either.
"Brother, what are you talking about? I'm worried about you." Qin Yu looked somewhat perplexed, his face showing even more concern.
Qin Yong only reacted now, probably because he had been suppressing the excitement in his heart, but due to the 250 air points brought about by ***, and during the psychological struggle, his facial expression changed, which caused Qin Yu to worry. As for what happened after killing someone, Qin Yu didn't think about that for the time being. After all, Qin Yu was a native of the True Martial Continent, even if he wasn't a martial artist, he knew the cruelty of the martial world, let alone Xu Qi wanting to kill Qin Yong and also attacking Qin Yu, killing the opponent Qin Yu didn't feel it was wrong either.
"I'm fine, just a bit uncomfortable after killing someone. It's not very safe here, let's get out of here." Qin Yong said hastily.
"Uh-huh." Qin Yu nodded.
The two quickly left, and before leaving, Qin Yong looked at Xu Qi's body with some regret. This guy was just a guard, but he also had some good things on him, which Qin Yong now found very tempting. However, it was not suitable for Qin Yong to expose himself now. If people knew that he had killed Xu Qi, even if there were reasons for it, it would be enough for others to make an issue out of it. Qin Yong did not want to leave any trouble behind and could only give up on these spoils of war.
Originally, Qin Yong and Qin Yu were on their way back home, already close to the Qin residence. However, as they approached, they took a detour through a nearby alleyway that was a shortcut. This was intentional on Qin Yong's part, as if Yun Shaoyang had indeed sent someone after them, this would be the perfect opportunity for an ambush. Qin Yong preferred to deal with the tail sooner rather than later, rather than risk being ambushed at an unknown time. As a result, Qin Yong slowed down his pace, otherwise Xu Qi wouldn't have caught up so quickly. The alleyway was not far from the Qin residence, and soon Qin Yong and Qin Yu returned home. At this point, Qin Yong didn't feel like saying much to the other members of the Qin family, and instead directly led Qin Yu back to their own courtyard.
"Light rain, the world of Wuxia is so cruel, human life is like a blade of grass, only by becoming strong can one have the right to pursue happiness, otherwise it's even hard to survive." Qin Yong said seriously to Qin Yu.
This incident made Qin Yong realize that he must also let Qin Yu become a martial artist, after all, Qin Yong couldn't always be by Qin Yu's side, and he didn't want to hear any bad news about his sister one day.
"But brother, I don't have a talent for martial arts. Even if I start practicing now, it's hard to be like you." Qin Yu was also somewhat moved, but soon became disheartened again.
Qin Yong knew that it was precisely because Qin Yu had no talent for martial arts, and from a young age, his parents had given up on him and didn't have high expectations. Although Qin Yu seemed ordinary, he always had a knot in his heart, feeling not only that he had disappointed his parents but also that because of himself, his parents were too strict with his older brother, as all the family's hopes were pinned on his older brother alone.
"It doesn't matter, in the world of martial arts, talent is not absolute. Since ancient times, martial arts have been about perception first, determination second, and talent third. As long as you're willing to work hard, you'll always be able to create miracles. Look at me, I was able to kill a strong opponent at the 9th level of Qi Refining Realm with my own strength at the 6th level. Who could have imagined that?" Qin Yong said seriously, and although it was because of the Air Fortune Mark, he didn't blush at all when saying this.
At present, the only thing that can be done with the current air operation badge is to cultivate LV1 tattoos, but it doesn't have much effect. However, in the future, it will definitely help Qin Yu, and there are also many treasures in this world that enhance qualifications, what Qin Yong needs to do is to let Qin Yu start cultivating.
