Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 49: The Person Sent by the Shangguan Clan

Chapter 49: Chapter 49: The Person Sent by the Shangguan Clan

"Hm?"

Almost colliding face to face, Mr. Zhao’s eyebrows knit together.

"Who are you?"

Mr. Zhao scrutinized the two newcomers with a cold gaze.

"Is it you?" But Liu Rujing, from behind, had already exclaimed in shock.

The youth and the girl who had walked in were naturally Qin Qing and Jiang Ruorong.

"Brother Qing!" Ning Nianci shouted loudly as soon as she saw Qin Qing.

"Put down little Ci!" Qin Qing said to the middle-aged man before him.

This middle-aged man was almost eight feet tall, and while he was quite tall, he was also very thin, his skin showing an unhealthy pallor. His eyebrows and the hair visible at the edge of his headcloth were a mix of black and white.

Clearly a man, yet he exuded an extremely Yin and soft aura.

"Put down little Ci!" Qin Qing called out again.

However, Mr. Zhao remained unmoved.

He waved his hand.

Behind him, aside from the person holding Ning Nianci, the other three in black robes all rushed toward Qin Qing in the next moment.

These three were all ruthless and fierce in their strikes, each move aimed precisely at Qin Qing’s vital points.

Fortunately, these three were only at the Preliminary Stage of the Soul Refinement Realm.

Qin Qing dodged backward, avoiding the continuous attacks of the three people, and then he kicked one of the black-robed figures hard.

"Puh!"

That black-robed figure spat out a mouthful of blood instantly, curling on the ground like a cooked shrimp, bending in agony.

Next, he reached out with a claw.

This was one of the Qin Residence’s ultimate techniques, called: White Tiger Carrying the Corpse.

Qin Qing had rigorously trained in this technique for an entire year, without missing a single day.

Today, its power was evident when he used it.

"Shrrk!"

That claw tore into the shoulder of the black-robed person, instantly ripping a large piece of flesh and blood.

The black-robed figure screamed in agony, and Qin Qing followed with a palm strike.

"Thud!"

The black-robed figure stood in place, his eyes bulging, as his breath faded away.

It turned out that his internal organs had been reduced to mush by Qin Qing’s palm strike.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ruorong had also dealt with another black-robed person.

"Who exactly are you?" Mr. Zhao finally showed a look of shock and asked Qin Qing and Jiang Ruorong in a frightened manner.

"Who we are is none of your concern. Now, you’ve captured little Ci, so release her immediately!" Qin Qing said coldly.

Mr. Zhao slightly furrowed his brows, "Gentlemen, not to conceal from you, I am from the Imperial Court, and I am on a mission for a superior. I hope you will not make things difficult for me!"

"I said, let her go!" Qin Qing’s voice turned even colder.

"Don’t fool yourself. This Mr. Zhao is from inside the palace... his master is someone who would scare you to death if you heard the name!"

Liu Rujing cast a glance at Qin Qing and said with a smirk that was not quite a smile.

"Enough!"

Qin Qing gave Liu Rujing a look and suddenly waved his hand.

"Whirl!"

A surge of violent Spiritual Power instantly engulfed Liu Rujing.

Although they were both in the same Soul Refinement Realm.

But Liu Rujing was only at the First Level of the Soul Refinement Realm, while Qin Qing was at the Third Level.

Even if they were at the same level, Qin Qing could easily kill Liu Rujing in a second.

Not to mention being two minor realms higher.

"Gurgle..."

Blood bubbled from Liu Rujing’s mouth.

His eyes widened, as if he still couldn’t believe it.

In Tianjue Forest, he had witnessed Qin Qing take action and kill Ning Ziyuan.

But at that time, he did not fear Qin Qing very much.

He only didn’t want to fight to the death with Qin Qing, so he feigned weakness on purpose.

In his view, even if Qin Qing was stronger than him, it couldn’t be by much.

However, this time, he realized how terribly wrong his assumptions were!

It was a pity... it was too late to recognize his mistake!

The next instant, his eyes went dark, and he collapsed...

"Release... release her!"

This time, Mr. Zhao was truly afraid.

He already knew that this young man before him didn’t care who you were or for whom you were working.

It seemed that the Imperial Court, which filled others with terror, didn’t concern him at all?

No matter whether these two were naive or had a significant background, Mr. Zhao no longer cared.

He didn’t want to die now.

"We will release them... We were just following orders, please spare us!"

Mr. Zhao’s throat began to tremble, making his voice turn sharp and unpleasant, becoming loathsome to hear.

As soon as Ning Nianci was let go, Mr. Zhao wanted to leave.

"Just let you walk away like this? Wouldn’t that be letting you off too easily?"

Qin Qing grabbed a longsword from the ground with a sweep of his hand and with two swift strokes,

the arms of Mr. Zhao and the man in black fell to the ground.

"Get lost!"

Qin Qing barked coldly.

Mr. Zhao and the man in black were trembling all over with pain, making sounds of sharp inhalation as if they were gasping for air through a bellows.

But upon hearing Qin Qing’s reprimand, they didn’t dare to stay any longer and bore the intense pain to leave.

"Little Ci!"

Qin Qing looked at Ning Nianci.

Ning Nianci threw herself towards Qin Qing at the same time: "Brother Qing."

"It’s alright... everything’s okay now!" Qin Qing comforted Ning Nianci.

"Little junior brother, it seems you’ve caused trouble again this time!"

The three leaped down from the restaurant, and upon landing, Jiang Ruorong said to Qin Qing with a smile.

Qin Qing looked at Jiang Ruorong.

"That Mr. Zhao just now should be a eunuch from the palace," Jiang Ruorong added.

"A eunuch?" Qin Qing looked at Jiang Ruorong, confused.

"That’s right, a castrated court official!"

Jiang Ruorong smiled: "The eunuchs in the palace, their masters, they’re all important people."

Qin Qing shook his head indifferently: "Anyway, having already offended the Shangguan Clan, what does it matter to offend one more?"

"Hmm?" As he spoke, Qin Qing’s brow furrowed.

He sensed two dangerous presences approaching.

"Let’s go, quick!"

Qin Qing whispered.

"Could it be that Zhao’s bead has found helpers so quickly?" Jiang Ruorong spoke softly, her face showing alertness.

"Not good!"

Qin Qing felt the danger intensifying.

Two gray-robed elders appeared straight ahead.

The aura of these two exploded forth in an instant.

"Buzz buzz!"

The very void seemed to tremble.

"They’re Martial Dao Masters at the Golden Core Realm!"

Qin Qing’s complexion changed dramatically.

Jiang Ruorong’s pupils also constricted sharply.

Martial Dao Masters at the Golden Core Realm were far too powerful compared to them.

In front of such powerhouses, they had no chance of resistance.

"Hmph!"

In an instant, the two gray-robed elders moved in front of Qin Qing and Jiang Ruorong.

The very next moment, both struck simultaneously.

However...

Their target was neither Jiang Ruorong nor Ning Nianci, but Qin Qing!

They had not come because of Mr. Zhao or Little Ci.

Their target was Qin Qing!

"These must be people sent by the Shangguan Clan!"

Realization dawned on Qin Qing.

At the same time, spiritual power surged within him.

He attempted to resist.

But the overbearing presence of the two elders made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"It’s over!"

"I was too careless this time!"

Qin Qing was annoyed with himself. His master had repeatedly warned him to be wary of the Shangguan Clan and try not to stray far from the Great Qian Martial Institute.

"Little beast, come with us," one elder said with an icy voice, which contained a chill that nearly froze Qin Qing’s very Soul Palace.
