20: Chapter 20 Slaying

"Hahaha, Brother Chen, you truly have great skills and a meticulous mind. To be able to subdue Qin Chuan so easily, you seem to be a ruthless character."

As he spoke, a tall figure walked out from a secluded spot.

The person who arrived was none other than Qin Xiao, who had a cultivation of Qi Refining Level 6. He slowly removed the mask he was wearing, his face wearing a strange expression.

"You are only at Qi Refining Level 4; you are simply no match for me. Hand over the items, and perhaps I will spare your life. Otherwise, not only you, but your Family and children will all die."

The corners of Qin Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, his face full of disdain.

"Oh? Is my clan brother so confident?" Upon hearing the threat to his children, a monstrous rage surged within Chen Fan. Today, he had to completely slay this person.

"Otherwise what? You matrilocal sons-in-law are all trash; you are not even worth mentioning in the Family."

However, just as Qin Xiao finished saying this in a casual manner, he saw a bright light emerge before him.

Immediately after, deafening explosions rang out incessantly all around. Massive fireballs exploded one after another. Despite being prepared, the immense shockwave still shattered his protective barrier immediately.

"You..."

Qin Xiao was both shocked and angry, his face filled with disbelief. He spat out a mouthful of blood, clutching his chest in pain.

It turned out that Chen Fan had arrived at this secluded place early and buried several lightning beads here.

"Clan brother, if you want to blame someone, blame your own carelessness! I was targeting you from the beginning. Do not think that I, Chen, did not notice you recklessly probing us on the flying ship."

Seeing that the opponent was severely injured and his Origin Qi damaged, Chen Fan knew he could not miss this opportunity and immediately unleashed a Low Grade Flying Sword Magical Artifact to attack.

"Matrilocal son-in-law Chen, how shameless."

In his panic, Qin Xiao hastily unleashed a defensive Magical Artifact.

As a light flashed, a golden light barrier emitting a golden glow tightly enveloped him.

After a "bang" sound, the Flying Sword struck it, emitting only a spark, unable to advance any further.

Taking advantage of the gap while blocking, Qin Xiao immediately consumed a Medicinal Pill to heal his injuries.

Seeing this, Chen Fan quickly formed hand seals, once again controlling the Flying Sword to launch continuous attacks. However, after several consecutive strikes, he was simply unable to break the golden light barrier.

"Once my strength recovers, I will definitely torture you properly." Qin Xiao discovered he was unharmed, and a look of ferocity appeared on his face.

"It is just a low-level protective barrier; it seems I must use that Flying Sword."

Chen Fan pondered slightly, and without any hesitation, he slapped his Storage Pouch and unleashed it.

A vast amount of magic power was continuously poured into it, giving one the feeling of being drained dry.

Seeing this, Qin Xiao frowned slightly and accelerated the refining speed of the Medicinal Pill.

"Go!"

Chen Fan poured a large amount of magic power into it. The Medium Grade Flying Sword let out a "hum" and emitted a massive cyan light, heading straight towards the golden light barrier.

"Bang!"

Just as he had expected, after the loud noise, fine cracks appeared on it.

"It is indeed effective."

Just as Chen Fan was overjoyed and about to attack again, he saw Qin Xiao's expression turn solemn. He slowly stood up, formed hand seals, and unleashed a strange small pagoda.

After the small pagoda was thrown out, it spun in circles in the air. Then, with a flash of light, it suddenly grew larger, emitting a monstrous pressure.

"Brat, this is your clan brother's Demon-Suppressing Pagoda. I originally did not want to unleash it so early. Go to hell!"

With a low shout, the giant pagoda rumbled downwards, falling like a small mountain.

Chen Fan was greatly alarmed; he had never seen such a powerful Magical Artifact before.

This item was a Medium Grade Magical Artifact, but due to being used many times, it was covered in cracks.

Yet even so, under the support of the opponent's thick magic power, it gave one the feeling of destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth.

"No, there is definitely no time to escape."

In his desperation, Chen Fan simply poured a large amount of magic power into the Medium Grade Flying Sword and met it head-on with all his might.

At the same time, he glared viciously at Qin Xiao, and while he was at it, smashed the Fangtian Seal hard at him, mixed with a pile of low-level Talismans.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A light emerged, and a huge sound spread out.

At the critical moment, the Medium Grade Flying Sword barely managed to block the attack of the golden small pagoda, preventing it from advancing further.

Looking at the golden small pagoda a foot away, Chen Fan felt a wave of relief. If he hadn't gone all-in just now, he might have been smashed to pieces by the small pagoda long ago.

The reason was that at the critical moment, the Low Grade Magical Artifact, the Fangtian Seal, unexpectedly shattered the opponent's protective barrier. As the Talismans continued to explode, it threw the opponent's spiritual power into chaos, making him unable to control it smoothly.

"Brat, you dare to scheme against me like this?"

Qin Xiao's face was pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, the look of anger on his face deepening.

Although Chen Fan had exhausted much of his magic power after several rounds of fighting, he was unwilling to let this opportunity slip by. He understood completely that if he missed today, the next to fall would be himself.

He waved his long sleeve and forcefully threw out the soul-extinguishing awl he had already prepared.

At this moment, he felt the magic power in his body being violently drained again, and he could no longer hold on.

Fortunately, after a "whoosh" sound, a scream came from the distance.

The soul-extinguishing awl pierced through his Physical Body with extreme sharpness, annihilating his Sea of Consciousness. Qin Xiao's entire body fell to the ground with a thud.

"He's dead?"

Chen Fan was overjoyed; he finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately retrieved the unleashed Magical Artifacts.

After continuous fighting, his magic power was greatly exhausted, and his complexion was extremely pale and unsightly.

After consuming a Medicinal Pill, he slowly recovered.

Slaying consecutive potential enemies brought a long-lost smile to Chen Fan's face.

This battle also made him realize the luck involved; having too low a Realm would always lead to disadvantages.

Although the Shantytown was relatively remote, the several battles would surely attract the attention of some Cultivators; after all, everyone is willing to be the fisherman who reaps the rewards.

After cleaning up, he put the Storage Pouch on the ground into his pocket, and then cast a Fireball Talisman to destroy the corpse and eliminate the evidence.

Taking advantage of the time before nearby Loose Cultivators arrived, his figure flashed, and after taking several turns, he arrived back at the core area of the market.

There was still an hour before the next wave of Family flying ships departed. He did not want anyone to discover any clues, so he simply went to other smaller shops and sold all of Qin Chuan's and Qin Xiao's Magical Artifacts.

Aside from the Spirit Wine, Spirit Fish, Spirit Rice, and Spirit Vegetables he purchased, he still had nearly two hundred Spirit Stones in his hand. It turned out that these two, Qin Chuan and Qin Xiao, had often bullied the group of matrilocal sons-in-law in their daily lives and had accumulated quite a few Spirit Stones.

After finishing his purchases, he went straight to the Qin Family's station in the market to wait for the next wave of flying ships to depart.

"Chen Fan, you haven't left yet?"

A crisp voice came, and the person speaking was none other than Qin Lingxi, a hint of surprise appearing on her face.

Ever since he helped solve the problem with the Medicinal Pill last time, she had looked at him with new eyes and developed a great deal of affection for him.

Qin Shubai, who was standing behind her, frowned slightly. He clearly noticed a thick aura of blood on the other person.

Chen Fan naturally saw the other person's strange expression. He took out a Storage Pouch and slowly said, "I went out this time and bought quite a few things. Inside are quite a lot of Spirit Wine, Spirit Fish, and Spirit Meat."

Qin Shubai took a slight glance and smiled faintly, "Brother Chen is nervous."

After the investigation was complete, he no longer suspected him.

Chen Fan's expression remained normal, but his heart skipped a beat. He always felt that the person in front of him was too deep in thought.
