Chapter 304: Meeting Qin Xiao
“Qin Xiao~~~!” Jian Chen roared angrily as his entire figure blurred away from sight. With a lightning like speed, Jian Chen flew toward the three men who were currently fighting. At the same time, an enormous amount of killing intent began to exude from his body, shooting straight into the air.
The girl watched as Jian Chen sped away with a flabbergasted look. She was previously standing right next to him with her golden longbow out. From the days she had traveled with Jian Chen, she had quickly learned his personality, but this was the first time she had seen such a drastic change in him. She hastened after Jian Chen.
Jian Chen’s roar was immediately heard by the three combatants. The two bloodsoaked figures were shocked; they hadn’t expected to come across anyone that was familiar with the young lord of the Tianqin clan. The two of them had already used up all of their strength fighting and were immensely relieved to see a new chance at life. The moment they saw Jian Chen run toward them, their happy look froze in place before disappearing from their faces and were instead replaced with looks of utter despair.
The both of them knew Jian Chen and how he was the only foreign friend of Qin Xiao, but while his talent at cultivation wasn’t all that bad, Jian Chen was still young and only a Great Saint Master. Their opponent was an Earth Saint Master and a truly strong one at that with his wind Saint Force. If the two of them combined wouldn’t be able to force him to a disadvantage, Jian Chen wouldn’t be able to.
By this point, the wind attributed Earth Saint Master had noticed Jian Chen. The moment he saw the handsome look on Jian Chen, his face immediately lost his look of confidence. A deep feeling of dread washed over him as he lost all of his desire to fight.
“Hmph, I’ll let you go today.” The Earth Saint Master spat out unwillingly before flying into the air to run away.
Just as the man left, one of the heavily injured men that lost most of his Saint Force immediately lost consciousness.
The other man had no energy remaining either and fell to the ground on his back with a withered expression.
“Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao! How are you feeling, wake up!” Jian Chen quickly arrived at Qin Xiao’s side while calling out his name repeatedly in a frantic manner.
Qin Xiao’s wounds were rather severe and he was covered with blood. Even the surrounding grass beneath him was soaked with his blood. On his body, Jian Chen noticed two terrifyingly deep wounds. Right on his waist, Qin Xiao’s body was nearly cut in two with only around half of his body still connected. The other wound was on his chest where a sword had been run through, causing a severe amount of damage to even his inner organs. Qin Xiao right now was already halfway through the gates of the underworld.
“Quick, use your bow to shoot him down! Don’t let him escape!” Jian Chen roared as he pointed at the rapidly disappearing figure of the wind attributed Earth Saint Master to the yellow clothed girl.
Coming into view, the girl already had a hand reaching toward her bow in order to kill the man, but the moment she had heard the commanding tone of Jian Chen, her eyebrows narrowed as she dropped her hands. Returning her hands to where they originally were, she spoke with a frosty tone, “I refuse to, why should I listen to you?”
“Bang!” Jian Chen’s fist slammed into the ground, creating a half a meter hole deep into the soft ground. The bloodshot eyes of Jian Chen stared dangerously at the girl as his rage continued to fly into the air. This time, Jian Chen was truly angry.
Seeing the nearly blood-thirsty and animal like visage of Jian Chen, the girl’s heart shook with some fear before stopping in place. In this moment of clarity, she suddenly felt a great deal of regret. When she refused to shoot the escaping person and lost her attention, the wind attributed Earth Saint Master had traveled past the mountain range and out of sight.
“Ji-Jian…Jian Chen.”
Just as Jian Chen was about to use the Radiant Saint Force to heal Qin Xiao’s wounds, a faint sounding voice could be heard as Qin Xiao’s eyes opened just a crack. His mouth trembled slightly as he called out Jian Chen’s name quietly.
“Qin Xiao, hold on! I’ll heal you up in a moment!” Jian Chen began to control the Radiant Saint Force around the World Essence to heal Qin Xiao. Right now Qin Xiao was in extreme danger, his life was hanging on by a thread and could be cut at any moment.
“Jia-Jian….Jian Chen.” Qin Xiao’s eyes opened a little more as his right arm quavered in an attempt to grab onto Jian Chen’s hands. Slowly placing it on his Space Belt, he began to speak, “H-he…. help….. me br-bring… out…. a gre-green… b-bo-bottle…. out… fr-from… my… Sp-Spa-Space… Belt….” Qin Xiao’s voice was beginning to fade in and out as his voice grew faint. With a faint exhale, his head tilted down and he fell unconscious.
Jian Chen understood what Qin Xiao’s message was right away. Carefully taking his Space Belt without touching Qin Xiao’s wounds, he began to furiously search within the contents before finally taking out three green porcelain bottles.
Just as Jian Chen took out the three bottles and opened them, a sweet smelling fragrance could be detected.
Each bottle contained a thumb sized pill that exuded a faint white glow.
“This…this is?!” Jian Chen cried out in shock and recognition. While the three pellets had a faint powder look on the shell, inside the shell was a pure amount of Radiant Saint Force.
Jian Chen was like a Radiant Saint Master and clearly understood the effects of the Radiant Saint Force. Immediately grabbing the pellets, he placed them into Qin Xiao’s mouth.
After swallowing the pill, Qin Xiao’s face began to take a turn for the better in color. Despite the Radiant Saint Force filled pill not being enough to fully heal Qin Xiao, saving his life would be no problem at all. However, Qin Xiao had yet to awaken.
After Qin Xiao’s condition was stabilized, Jian Chen let out a breath in relief. Then he turned to the two bloodsoaked men.
He had recognized the two men. One of them was Qin Jue, the one that Qin Xiao had said his father had picked up from the outside world and raised. He was born and raised within the Tianqin clan and had an extremely loyal heart, but right now he was unconscious. The other man also wasn’t a Tianqin clan member and was one of the men who had entered the Space Gate to Mercenary City with him. He was the comrade of Tian Zhou, but right now his face was deathly pale as he sat on the ground and ate a healing pill to recover his strength.
Three men quickly came into Jian Chen’s line of sight at a quick speed.
The three men were quickly detected by everyone, “Eldest Brother!” Suddenly, a joyous sound could be heard as the slowly healing person looked at the three approaching men and tried to crawl up to meet them.
These three men were unexpectedly Tian Zhou and two other brothers from outside the Tianqin clan.
“Fourth brother!”
“Fourth brother!”
“Fourth brother!”
Tian Zhou and the other two were quick to recognize the bloodsoaked figure and instantly called out in panic as they ran to his side.
“Fourth brother, how are you feeling, who did this to you?”
“Fourth brother, tell us, just which bastard beat you to this state?”
Seeing the bloodsoaked figure of their brother, the other two men were furious. Tian Zhou’s own face was rather unsightly as the three began to look around only to see the unconscious figure of the young lord of the Tianqin clan, Jian Chen, and the golden longbow girl right next to him.
“Who are you!” One of the men roared at the girl. They all knew who Jian Chen was, but not who this new girl was.
The girl looked at the three in disdain as she turned her head arrogantly to the side. It was as if she wasn’t willing to talk or even look at them.
Seeing the attitude of the girl, the other man barked at her coldly, “Naughty girl, we asked you a question, are you deaf?”
After he spoke, the girl’s expression darkened as she stared at them with a hateful glare, “Say one more word and I’ll kill you.” She had guessed that Jian Chen knew these men, and if it weren’t for that, then she would have long since moved against these people. After all, these three men were Earth Saint Masters and would undoubtedly have many tokens with them.
“You…” The man she spoke to growled angrily as a machete like weapon appeared within his hands, “You must be tired of living. I’ll teach you a lesson then!” With that, he flew at her.
“Hey, second brother, don’t be so reckless! You shouldn’t act so soon against a beauty like her.” Immediately, a rather ugly looking man held out his hand to stop the other man from attacking as he looked at the girl with a lecherous gaze.
Hearing this, the second brother was stunned for a moment before realizing what was happening. With a dark laugh, he spoke, “Third brother, you’re the smart one among us! It would be a crying shame for this beautiful woman to die so soon!’ Then, speaking to the girl, he laughed once more, “Little beauty, I’ve changed my mind. Killing such a beautiful person would be a big shame. Why don’t you accompany us for a good time. If you can make this a pleasurable time, then big brother here will let you go.”
The girl’s face froze over in a dark expression.
Hearing this, even Jian Chen’s face grew dark. Although he had plenty of complaints about her, he couldn’t respect the two for their words now, that the girl and him were both on the same side. Lastly, Tian Zhou and his brothers didn’t sit right with him as Tian Zhou had initially caused plenty of trouble for him back then in the Tianqin compound.
“If you don’t wish to die, then it would be best for you two to shut your mouths.” Jian Chen slowly stood up as he stared coldly at the men in front of him.
“F*ck, kid. The beauty and us two are talking, since when was it your turn to interfere? Death won’t come easy for you.” The second brother glared at Jian Chen dangerously. While Jian Chen had a decent friendship with the young lord Qin Xiao who was within the same clan as Tian Zhou, they were the brothers of Tian Zhou and knew that Jian Chen was not a person he liked.
The previously silent Tian Zhou looked on with a dark expression. He had a look full of killing intent directed at Jian Chen; he had already a large amount of complaints about Jian Chen back in Walaurent City and had even started a dispute. If it weren’t for the patriarch coming to stop the two, then he would have fought Jian Chen. Even in Mercenary City, he had wanted to hit Jian Chen many times but was held back due to the Grand Elder. However now, there was an opportunity sitting right in front of him, he would naturally not let this go by.
Tian Zhou gave a knowing look at the bloodsoaked man who instantly understood what Tian Zhou was getting at. Pointing at Jian Chen, he cried out loud, “Eldest brother, second brother, third brother! We were attacked by this heartless kid! This cruel youth wanted to kill our Tianqin clan’s Qin Xiao. The other clans member and I were caught off guard when he struck and were injured severely! If it weren’t for eldest brother coming here so fast, then I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to meet with you right now.”
