Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 413 - 390: Kill the men, spare the women

Next was the breaking of the sword array.

The sword array surrounding the Sword Method Tree was extremely complex, and with Qin Qing alone, it was simply impossible to break through in a short time, perhaps not even within two or three days.

Fortunately, Liu Huang and Cang Yuan both had a very good understanding of sword arrays.

Especially Cang Yuan, who wasn’t as adept as Liu Huang in the spiritual arrays, but he had profound understanding when it came to swordsmanship.

Especially after cultivating the Primordial Sword Technique, his comprehension of the sword array was like having a natural advantage.

Qin Qing felt this sensation as well.

This made him even more amazed at the profundity of the Primordial Sword Technique.

This swordsmanship even exceeded what Qin Qing knew of the martial arts of Tian Nian Star.

Because what he comprehended from the Primordial Sword Technique was just a fraction of the whole technique...

Once the sword array around the Sword Method Tree was broken, the Sword Fruits quickly ended up in Qin Qing’s hands.

There were twelve Sword Fruits in total.

And with the team comprising six people, everyone would get two Sword Fruits each.

"Senior Qin, these Sword Fruits... perhaps I shouldn’t take any? I feel like I didn’t contribute much," Liu Ling said, feeling somewhat undeserving.

Among the six, indeed, she contributed the least.

"Haha!" Qin Qing let out a hearty laugh, "What are you talking about? Since we all proceeded together, there’s no such thing as who did how much. As long as everyone did their best, that’s enough!"

Qin Qing’s words touched Liu Ling’s heart.

Especially Qin Qing’s hearty laughter made her feel very warm inside.

She couldn’t help thinking, if she hadn’t stepped forward to follow Liu Hongxue, and had continued to follow Liu Zhuoyan...

She would probably be dead in the Sword Valley by now.

As for the Sword Fruits.

If Liu Zhuoyan had obtained the Sword Fruits, would he have shared them with her?

That was still very much in question.

"Senior Qin," Liu Huang also spoke at this time, "The Sword Fruits are definitely more useful to you than to us. How about this... I’ll just take one Sword Fruit, and you can have the other."

"That’s right!" Liu Ling spoke up again, "Senior Qin, I will only take one maximum. If you disagree with that, then I won’t take any Sword Fruits at all!"

Liu Ling was also very firm in her stance.

"Qin Qing... in that case, let’s each take one Sword Fruit. The rest you can have," Liu Hongxue added.

Soon Zhu Linglong and Cang Yuan expressed their opinions as well.

They shared the same sentiment.

They had witnessed all that Qin Qing had given in the journey into the Sword Pavilion, from the Sword Valley till now.

The biggest credit for reaching this point belonged to Qin Qing.

Even setting aside everything that came before, just confronting the group from the Lion Eagle Sect before, if it weren’t for Qin Qing, they likely wouldn’t have been able to get any of the Sword Fruits.

Seeing that everyone was expressing their opinions and were quite determined,

Qin Qing was also somewhat helpless.

"Alright... if that’s the case, I’ll keep the Sword Fruits. If you guys need them later, just let me know!"

Qin Qing took the remaining Sword Fruits into his Spirit Ring.

As for Zhu Linglong, Liu Hongxue, and the others, they each took one Sword Fruit into their possession.

For Liu Ling and Liu Huang, coming to the Sword Pavilion and obtaining a Sword Fruit was already the perfect outcome.

However, naturally, they wouldn’t just bow out at this point.

Next, they still wanted to make a foray into the Heavenly Mountain Sword Pool, if not for themselves, then for Qin Qing.

They all knew that whether it was Qin Qing or Liu Hongxue, their ultimate goal in coming to the Sword Pavilion was to enter the Heavenly Mountain Sword Pool!

Especially for Liu Hongxue, if she could enter the Heavenly Mountain Sword Pool and receive the baptism of the Sword Pond, she could re-establish her position within the Liu Clan.

She would also take the initiative in the competition for the successor of the Liu Clan!

Liu Huang and Liu Ling were very clear about this point, thus they had to keep going with Liu Hongxue and Qin Qing...

"Next, we can look for more Sword Fruits!"

Liu Hongxue said, "My father once said, the more Sword Fruits we find, the greater our chances are of receiving the baptism of the Sword Pond."

"Hmm!" Qin Qing nodded, "Right now we don’t even know where the exit of the Sword Forest is, so we continue to look for Sword Fruits. While searching for Sword Fruits, we also look for the exit of the Sword Forest..."

Qin Qing and others chose not to refine the Sword Fruits immediately because they all knew that the Sword Fruits would have a special use later on.

It wouldn’t be too late to refine the Sword Fruits then.

Soon, the six of them resumed their search within the Sword Forest.

The Sword Forest was full of Sword Arrays, and there were also Illusion Arrays, and the exit might be hidden within the Illusory Realm.

To leave the Sword Forest, one must find the exit; otherwise, once the time is up, they would be eliminated and lose the qualification to enter the Sword Pond completely.

Two hours passed quickly.

There wasn’t much time left in the day.

Yet, Qin Qing’s group still hadn’t found the exit of the Sword Forest.

Instead... they once again discovered a Sword Dao Tree.

That’s right.

Another Sword Dao Tree.

Within the Sword Forest, there was more than one Sword Dao Tree.

And this Sword Dao Tree was even larger than the one Qin Qing and his companions had found before, and it bore even more Sword Fruits.

There were as many as twenty-three!

However, at this moment, there were already people attempting to break the array beside this Sword Dao Tree.

The ones trying to break the array were disciples from two different forces.

One of them was the Blood Slaughter Sect.

The other force was the Flood Dragon Gate.

At that time, the disciples from the Flood Dragon Gate and the Blood Slaughter Sect were trying to break open the Sword Array surrounding the Sword Dao Tree, clearly having formed a temporary alliance.

When Qin Qing’s group appeared, the disciples from the Blood Slaughter Sect and the Flood Dragon Gate swiftly turned their gazes towards Qin Qing.

"It’s you!"

Upon seeing Qin Qing and his companions, the expressions of the disciples from the Flood Dragon Gate and the Blood Slaughter Sect became quite animated.

Especially the disciples of the Flood Dragon Gate, who had previously invited Zhu Linglong to join them on the path to enter the Sword Pond, even scolding Qin Qing to back off, outright saying that a beauty like Zhu Linglong could only be guarded by the strong, and Qin Qing was not worthy.

In response, Qin Qing had scorned them as nothing more than a group of beasts who merely spoke human language and spouted nonsense.

It could be said that Qin Qing had utterly offended them.

If it wasn’t for Pei Fulong’s appearance, as well as the opening of the doors to the Sword Pavilion, perhaps the disciples from the Flood Dragon Gate would have already clashed with Qin Qing.

So now, seeing them appear here, the disciples from the Flood Dragon Gate each wore a look of amusement on their faces.

Especially the leading one, who was grinning coldly.

"You’ve bypassed the gate of heaven and barged into the door of hell!"

The leading disciple of the Flood Dragon Gate, not bothering to break the array any longer, turned around and walked towards Qin Qing’s group.

At the same time, the other disciples from the Flood Dragon Gate also approached, surrounding Qin Qing and his companions in the middle.

"Kill the men, leave the women alive... brothers, it’s been a long time since we’ve tasted such delicacies, right? Today, let’s all thoroughly enjoy ourselves..." the leading disciple from the Flood Dragon Gate said with a lecherous smile.
