Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 56 Kindred Spirits

"Attack!"

Almost at the same moment Gong Yanghe shouted, Qin Qing had already made his move.

In his hand, the Great Halberd had transformed into an angry dragon, sweeping across and stirring up streaks of azure sharpness, heading straight for Guan Changtian in front.

"How dare you!"

Guan Changtian’s face showed shock as he quickly drew the Longsword from his back to counter Qin Qing’s strike.

"Seeking death!"

Guan Yun also coldly watched Qin Qing, while from another side, she thrust her sword towards Qin Qing’s flank.

As for Gong Yanghe, he was surrounded by several others in the middle.

"Swoosh..."

A chilling Sword Qi narrowly shaved past Qin Qing’s ear.

Qin Qing was slightly startled in his heart, had his reaction not been just that bit faster, his ear would have been sliced off.

Turning his head to look, it was the sword thrust from Guan Changtian’s sister Guan Yun who had sneak-attacked from the side.

Guan Yun’s expression was icy as she disdainfully looked at Qin Qing and said coldly, "You dodge quite swiftly! But you, this lowly commoner, are undoubtedly going to die today!"

As her words fell, Guan Yun’s sword pierced out once again.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Several streaks of sword light, like a burst of silver blossoms, enveloped Qin Qing.

"This arrogant woman... It’s not just her contempt for everyone that is so simple... her swordsmanship is also very tricky and fierce!"

Qin Qing was amazed, his Great Halberd swung, and he retreated more than a dozen steps backward.

"Swoosh!"

Meanwhile, from another side, Guan Changtian’s Sword Qi was killing towards him like a shooting star.

"Too fast!"

Qin Qing couldn’t help but draw in a breath of cold air.

Barely evading Guan Yun’s several sword lights, but Guan Changtian’s Sword Qi was already pressing close to his face.

Within the Sword Qi, dense Gang Patterns were visible. A Great Martial Master in the Divine Might Realm, and also a Sword Cultivator, such a sword was enough to shatter gold and split stone. If Qin Qing were hit by the Sword Qi, he would undoubtedly be pierced through in an instant.

But just as the Sword Qi was about to stab Qin Qing’s forehead, he slightly shifted his body, and the Sword Qi flew past his nose.

The sharp Sword Qi even scraped Qin Qing’s face painfully.

"Go! We should not fight them with force."

At that moment, on another side, Gong Yanghe had broken through the encirclement and rushed towards Qin Qing.

He swung his sword at Guan Changtian.

"Crash!"

The Blade Qi resonated, slicing directly towards Guan Changtian’s back.

Guan Changtian’s expression changed, and he hurriedly dodged.

Gong Yanghe followed with several more slices towards Guan Yun.

Understanding Gong Yanghe’s intention, Qin Qing swung his Great Halberd, its qi vibrating, forcing the several people enclosing them back.

Immediately, the two turned and leaped onto a rock cliff, running wildly ahead.

"You think you can escape? Can you really get away today?" Guan Changtian said with a cold smile, pursuing from behind.

Guan Yun closely followed after him.

"Damn it, these two siblings are both at the Divine Might Realm. It’s really not easy to deal with them head-on!" Seeing the two approaching from behind, Gong Yanghe felt a painful sting as he took out two Talisman Papers from his body, "Qin Qing, this time I’m really spending a lot, these are two Spirit Talismans for swift movement. You’ll have to pay me back later!"

While speaking, he tossed one of the Spirit Talismans to Qin Qing.

As for the one in his own hand, he slapped it onto his foot and then poured his Spiritual Power into it, only to see the Spirit Talisman illuminate with dazzling light from the Spiritual Patterns.

Qin Qing understood tacitly.

Although he had never used a Spirit Talisman before, he was aware of their existence.

Among Spiritual Pattern Masters, some specialize in the path of Artifact Refining and are called Artifact Refiners, while others follow the route of creating Spirit Talismans and are known as Alchemists.

Of course, there is no absolute boundary between Artifact Refiners and Alchemists; oftentimes, Artifact Refiners are also Alchemists.

Qin Qing placed the Divine Might Spirit Talisman on his foot and infused it with Spiritual Power. He soon felt a breeze under his feet, and his speed increased several times in an instant compared to before.

"Huff, huff..."

Shortly thereafter.

The two arrived at a stone cliff.

Both were lying on the stone slab, breathing heavily.

"Fortunately, we ran fast..." Gong Yanghe let out a breath and turned his head to look at Qin Qing, "Qin Qing, what exactly did you do to make Shangguan Feixing and Guan Changtian want to kill you?"

Qin Qing responded with a faint smile, "Because I killed Shangguan Xuan."

"Shangguan Xuan?" Gong Yanghe was stunned, and then his eyes widened, "You mean, the Young Master of the Shangguan Clan, the sole son of the current Prime Minister in the Imperial Court, Shangguan Xuan?"

"Yes!" Qin Qing nodded.

Gong Yanghe was dumbfounded, staring at Qin Qing for a good while before clicking his tongue, "You lad, quite impressive..."

"Are you regretting it now? It’s not too late to regret..." Qin Qing said with a smile.

"Regret? What is there to regret?" Gong Yanghe laughed sarcastically, "What I, Gong Yanghe, despise the most is bullying the weak. So what if the Shangguan Clan is remarkable? So what if the Guan Family is remarkable? Just look at their haughty faces. I, Gong Yanghe, just won’t indulge them. What about it?"

"Uh..." Qin Qing couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile, realizing that Gong Yanghe was someone who detested evil as if it were a personal enemy.

"By the way... why did you initially bring Guan Changtian and his group here in the first place?" Qin Qing asked with curiosity.

This guy had clearly led Guan Changtian and his group here, but then suddenly turned around, helping Qin Qing break out of the encirclement instead.

"About that..." Gong Yanghe curled his lips slightly and said, "This morning, I saw you were cultivating and did not disturb you, then I wanted to go out for a walk. Unexpectedly, just as I exited the cave entrance, I ran into Guan Changtian and his group outside..."

"Seeing that they were about to find the Stone Cave where you were, I took the initiative to tell them I had found a clue about you..."

"You know the rest. Even if I didn’t say it, they would have found you soon. So, I might as well come forward and take the bounty from Guan Changtian first, wouldn’t that be wonderful?"

"Uh..." Qin Qing, upon hearing this, was at a loss for words.

He hadn’t expected Gong Yanghe, who seemed cold and ruthless on the surface, to be so cunning underneath.

"However... by doing this, you’ve completely offended the Guan Family now!" Qin Qing said.

"So what?" Gong Yanghe seemed unconcerned, "I’ve been annoyed with them for a long time. Besides, it’s not often that I meet someone I get along with so well. How could I stand by and do nothing?"

Qin Qing looked at Gong Yanghe with his nonchalant demeanor and felt a warmth in his heart.

In fact, Gong Yanghe did indeed make Qin Qing feel as if they were kindred spirits.

"Thanks!"

Qin Qing said as he got up.

"Ah, stop it!" Gong Yanghe waved his hand in irritation, "I hate it when people thank me. Remember, if you consider me your brother, don’t say the word ’thanks.’ Otherwise, I’m leaving right now!"

"Haha, alright!" Qin Qing smiled.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a roar came from a deep ravine not far away.

It caused Qin Qing and Gong Yanghe both to change their expressions.

And then—

"Boom!"

A loud, deafening explosion rang out, and the entire Valley of Wind Spirits seemed to shake violently...
