Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 361 - 343: Sky Class A Room

Qin Qing attacked Du Zhiqing once more with his spear.

Du Zhiqing hastily retreated backward, while Xu An again condensed a shield to protect Du Zhiqing in front.

"Boom!"

Another ferocious collision occurred.

"Young friend, Elder Du has realized his mistake, why not give him another chance!" Xu An spoke again.

"Get out of my way!"

Qin Qing roared, and this time, he directed his Azure Dragon Spear straight at Xu An.

"Primordial Unity Qi!"

Qin Qing’s Azure Dragon Spear swept continuously, spear thrust followed by another.

Xu An kept blocking Qin Qing’s offensive. He was clearly stronger than Qin Qing, after all, he was a half-step Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse.

But since Qin Qing possessed the Spiritual Treasure Order, Xu An dared not attack him with full force.

"Splash!"

After blocking Qin Qing’s strike, Xu An suddenly slapped towards Qin Qing’s shoulder.

His intention with this palm strike was to repel Qin Qing, not really to attack him.

But...

Qin Qing did not dodge, instead allowing his palm to strike directly onto his shoulder!

"Crack!"

The sound of bones breaking was heard.

Xu An was taken aback.

Qin Qing could have dodged that palm, but he didn’t!

The next moment, Xu An’s face changed dramatically, as he saw Qin Qing, repelled by his palm strike, using the force to rush towards Du Zhiqing.

"Die!"

This time, Qin Qing’s Azure Dragon Spear stabbed fiercely at Du Zhiqing, like a streak of azure lightning.

Du Zhiqing hurriedly swung a long spear to meet it.

But at the moment the two spears clashed, another azure sword light instantly flew out from Qin Qing’s other hand...

"Pfft!"

The Flying Sword directly penetrated Du Zhiqing’s forehead and exited from the back of his head, bringing with it a burst of fresh blood...

Time seemed to freeze at this moment!

Elder Du of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion was truly killed by Qin Qing!

Qin Qing looked coldly at Xu An, while Xu An stared blankly at Du Zhiqing laying on the ground!

The reason Xu An protected Du Zhiqing, even knowing that Qin Qing possessed the Spiritual Treasure Order, still obstructing Qin Qing, was because his relationship with Du Zhiqing was truly extraordinary.

The two grew up together since childhood, entered the same sect, cultivated together, adventured together, and later joined the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion together...

Their relationship far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Therefore, Xu An repeatedly stopped Qin Qing, hoping that Qin Qing and Du Zhiqing would calm down, and that any problems could be resolved through compensation. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

However, Qin Qing clearly did not agree with this way of handling the situation!

He walked over and picked up Xiaoshuang, saying softly, "Xiaoshuang, it’s alright now. Your brother has killed those who bullied you!"

"Mm!" Xiaoshuang nodded gently.

"Are you afraid, Xiaoshuang?" Qin Qing asked again.

"Not afraid!" Xiaoshuang shook her head gently, "Brother, Xiaoshuang knows that these people are bad! You’ve said that bad people should die, so Xiaoshuang is not scared. Xiaoshuang also wants to practice hard to become a strong martial artist, so I can protect brother in the future, and not always be a burden!"

Hearing Xiaoshuang’s words, Qin Qing couldn’t help but smile.

Xiaoshuang was not scared despite having witnessed him killing someone in front of her, which made Qin Qing feel that Xiaoshuang was gradually becoming sensible.

In this world, there can be no unnecessary pity or mercy.

Because it is a cruel world where cheap kindness only brings endless trouble.

"Indeed... Those who bullied Xiaoshuang are all bad people!" Qin Qing said while stroking Xiaoshuang’s hair.

"Great Elder!"

Just then, Xu An suddenly spoke.

A purple-robed elder walked out from the cabin.

This purple-robed elder had eyebrows like swords, an extremely robust aura, yet carried an ineffable ethereal quality.

Qin Qing’s pupils couldn’t help but shrink.

On this purple-robed elder, he sensed a kind of aura he had never felt before, an aura that smelt of extreme danger.

"This... is definitely beyond the Nascent Soul Realm, it might be Divinity Transformation Realm, or even the Cataclysmic Realm!"

Qin Qing was astounded.

This was a true powerhouse.

Whether it was the Divine Power of the Divinity Transformation Realm or the Divine Intent of the Cataclysmic Realm Martial Saint, both were at the very top of this world.

Of course, this elder was more likely from the Divinity Transformation Realm, as Cataclysmic Realm Martial Saints are too few.

Even in the entire Tian Nian Star, there are not many Martial Saints... and they would not appear so easily.

The Spiritual Treasure Pavilion should have Martial Saints stationed, but it is unlikely that a Martial Saint would appear on a Spirit Boat, and even less likely to assume the role of Great Elder on one.

Therefore, it’s not difficult to deduce that this purple-robed elder should be from the Divinity Transformation Realm.

The Martial Spirit of the Divinity Transformation Realm had already begun to comprehend the Divine Intent.

Divine Intent is the meaning of the Daoist Magic between heaven and earth, so when these powerful Martial Spirits attack, they can already draw upon the Divine Power of the world, and their strength is vastly different from that of the Martial Ancestors.

"Great Elder, about what just happened here..." Xu An approached, wanting to explain what had just happened, but was cut off by a wave of the Great Elder’s hand.

"I already have a general understanding of what transpired!"

The Great Elder said and walked over to Qin Qing...

Qin Qing stood in place, looking indifferently at the Great Elder.

His expression was very calm.

Because he knew that if the Great Elder wanted to take action, there was no chance whatsoever of escape for him.

Against a powerhouse of the Divinity Transformation Realm, if the other party wanted him dead, there would be no hope of life for him!

Therefore, whether to flee or not made no difference.

Moreover, Qin Qing actually knew that the Great Elder would not kill him.

Because he did not feel any intent to kill emanating from the Great Elder.

The sense of danger he perceived stemmed from the gap in their Cultivation Realms, from the enormous disparity in power, not because the Great Elder intended to strike against him...

Furthermore, during the process of Qin Qing killing Du Zhiqing, he relied on his extraordinary and powerful sensing ability to detect an extremely strong presence lurking in the shadows.

This indicated that the Great Elder had been aware of what happened here all along but had not intervened.

It meant he tacitly allowed Qin Qing to kill Du Zhiqing.

And the reason he did not show up... was that as the Great Elder of this Spirit Boat, it was not proper for him to appear.

If he had appeared, should he have stopped Qin Qing from killing Du Zhiqing?

So that was a troubling issue.

But by not showing up, he was subtly affirming Qin Qing’s actions.

Indeed...

It was just as Qin Qing had expected.

When the Great Elder stopped three feet in front of Qin Qing, he said, "Esteemed guest, I am already aware of the entire incident that transpired earlier, and the blame does not lie with you. As for Elder Du, he deserved his death."

"By the way, my name is Liu Chuanyun!"

Hearing the Great Elder’s words, Qin Qing couldn’t help but exhale a long sigh of relief.

"Elder Liu!" Qin Qing nodded, "Thank you, Elder Liu, for your understanding!"

Liu Chuanyun gave a faint smile, then turned to Xu An with a cold voice, "Elder Xu, you should be clear about right and wrong in the entire matter, but throughout the process, you were constantly defending Du Zhiqing. Do you recognize your mistake?"

Xu An hurried forward a step, bowing as he said, "Xu An recognizes his fault!"

"Effective immediately, for the next three years, you are penalized with a seventy percent reduction in salary and demoted to a ’Ren’ ranked cabin elder! Do you have any objections?" Liu Chuanyun demanded coldly.

"Absolutely no objections!" Xu An hastened to say, "For these three years, Xu An will certainly perform his duties loyally and will not repeat any mistakes!"

"Good, tidy this place up and go!" Liu Chuanyun ordered.

"Esteemed guest." Liu Chuanyun then looked towards Qin Qing, "Earlier, the mistake was on the part of our Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, and you are our esteemed guest. Now, I will immediately arrange for you and your sister to stay in a top-grade ’Tian’ ranked guest room. Additionally, I will arrange for a pharmacist aboard the Spirit Boat to treat your sister’s injuries. I ask that you do not refuse this offer."

Qin Qing glanced at Xiao Shuang.

The ’Tian’ ranked guest room would definitely be better, and since Liu Chuanyun had taken the initiative to have a pharmacist treat her injuries, Qin Qing was even less likely to refuse.

"In that case... I thank you, Elder Liu!" Qin Qing saluted Liu Chuanyun with a clasped fist.

Liu Chuanyun returned the gesture, secretly relieved in his heart.

If Qin Qing did not accept his kindness, it would indicate an unwillingness to forgive him.

As the Great Elder of this Spirit Boat, he certainly did not want to cause any dissatisfaction in a valuable guest holding a Spiritual Treasure command; this would affect his reputation within the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion.

More than just an elder of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, he was also from the Liu Clan, where the internal competition was also very fierce.

Liu Chuanyun did not want to make any mistakes.

Now that Qin Qing was willing to accept, it indicated that things were smoothing over.

Soon, Liu Chuanyun personally escorted Qin Qing and his sister to one of the top-grade ’Tian’ ranked guest rooms.

The top-grade ’Tian’ ranked guest room was much more luxurious than the ’Di’ ranked rooms, even exceedingly so, and it offered broader views and more abundant Spiritual Energy.

Not long after, Liu Chuanyun brought a Pharmacist over.

After examining Xiao Shuang’s injuries, the Pharmacist prescribed several medicinal herbs and more than a dozen Elixirs.

Naturally, all of these came at no cost to Qin Qing.

"By the way, sir. Could you please check if there is a way to cure the Fire Disease in my sister’s body..." Qin Qing asked.

Now that a pharmacist of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion was present, it was worth asking him to see if there was any way to remove the Fire Disease from his sister’s body.

Yet the Pharmacist replied, "I’m sorry. I have already checked your sister’s condition, and the Fire Disease within her is now very dangerous. However, I am unable to help; perhaps our Sixth Stars pharmacist at the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion might solve this problem. I’m only a Five Stars pharmacist, so... I really can’t do anything..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Qing couldn’t help showing a look of disappointment.

However, this was also within his expectations.

His sister’s Fire Disease had been present for so many years; it wasn’t going to be easy to cure.

At that moment, Liu Chuanyun spoke up, "Qin young friend, since you possess the Spiritual Treasure command, when you arrive at Tianyong, you can have a Sixth Stars pharmacist from the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion intervene. I believe that with a Sixth Stars pharmacist, your sister’s Fire Disease can surely be cured!"

Qin Qing nodded slightly upon hearing this; it seemed that was the only option now. He hoped that once they reached Tai’a, his sister’s Fire Disease could be completely cured!

"Brother, I’ll get better soon, right?"

Xiao Shuang snuggled close to her brother, tilted her little head up, and looked at him with a pair of hopeful big eyes.

"Of course! Xiao Shuang will get better soon!" Qin Qing gently stroked her head, letting her lean in his embrace...
