Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 68: Kind Little Ci

At this moment, Qin Qing.

Was in a hazy state of mind.

He could hear Gong Yanghe’s voice, but it wasn’t clear, as if it were coming from another space.

He and Gong Yanghe were in different spaces, these two spaces seemingly separated by an invisible layer of rules and membrane.

However, Qin Qing was certain that he had not died.

He knew that his physical body had been burned to ash.

He was very aware of the entire process of his body’s destruction, how his hair and flesh were burned away bit by bit, followed by his muscles, tendons, bones, internal organs, and his skull...

Everything seemed to have turned to ash.

But inside him, there was one last drop of essence blood.

This was his own essence blood!

Besides, within this drop of essence blood, there faintly seemed to be a blade of grass swaying in the wind.

It was Dragon Origin Grass!

The very Dragon Origin Grass that Qin Qing had ingested!

But indistinctly, this blade of Dragon Origin Grass turned into an Azure Divine Dragon!

Suddenly.

The last drop of essence blood inside Qin Qing’s body violently pulsed.

Following that, an endless surge of vitality burst forth from it.

His charred husk suddenly shimmered with green light.

"Hmm?"

Gong Yanghe, who had been about to finish digging a pit, stopped his movement and looked over in astonishment.

"Whoosh!"

A breeze swept by.

The ashes on Qin Qing’s husk were blown away, replaced by bones as green and lush as if they had been carved from jade, the same color as the Dragon Origin Grass.

Similarly, it was also the natural hue of the Azure Dragon among the four great spiritual beasts: Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise.

Then, atop this green skeletal frame, a green light began to spread and entwine around each bone.

Before the naked eye, flesh, sinews, and membranes started to grow over every bone.

At the same time, viscera and all organs were regenerating at an incredible speed.

In the end, muscle skin, hair, all grew back and were restored...

"This... this..."

The Curved Blade in Gong Yanghe’s hand fell to the ground.

"Is this resurrection from death?"

"Qin Qing, boss, boss, are you coming back to life again?"

Gong Yanghe became so incoherent with emotion.

Meanwhile, within Qin Qing’s mind.

"Ao..."

"Ao..."

The sound of a Dragon’s Chant came continuously.

The impact of the Dragon’s Chant brought with it a surge of immense power.

Gradually, in Qin Qing’s mind, an endless chaotic void appeared.

And in that void, an Azure Dragon Claw tore through the grey chaos, followed by scales reflecting a cold luster, and then a complete mighty Dragon rose and soared!

Qin Qing’s eyes snapped open abruptly.

Two azure dragon-shaped shadows flashed quickly in his pupils.

The Dragon Blood Physique, had been achieved!

...

Outside the nest of the Ice Flood Dragon.

Shangguan Feixing, Guan Changtian, and others were all waiting there.

Shangguan Feixing’s gaze was icy cold; inside the nest of the White Flood Dragon, he had been continuously knocked down by Qin Qing, utterly humiliated, which was a complete loss of face for him.

Therefore, he must kill Qin Qing, otherwise, his reputation, Shangguan Feixing’s reputation, would be ruined forever.

Even more eager for Qin Qing’s death than Shangguan Feixing was Guan Changtian.

Guan Changtian’s eyes were red with tears, hatred and resentment filling his gaze.

"Damn it! Killing my sister!"

"How dare this dog-bred Qin Qing?!"

"I want to skin him alive, eat his flesh!"

"And I want his whole family to die, to die in agony!"

Guan Changtian growled like a wild beast, his eyes relentlessly fixed on the entrance to the lair.

This time, accepting the family mission, he came with his sister just to kill Qin Qing; the two siblings thought that killing a mere Soul Refinement Realm plebeian would be easy as pie.

But unexpectedly, his sister Guan Yun was killed by that plebeian!

"Damn it!"

"Damn you, Qin Qing, you plebeian!"

But as time passed, nearly a day went by.

Qin Qing and Gong Yanghe were nowhere to be seen coming out.

"This won’t do, Qin Qing is just hiding inside and won’t come out. Once three days pass, they will naturally leave the secret realm!" Qin Lie said.

"So what do you propose? Storm in there? Do you dare?" Shangguan Feixing glared at Qin Lie.

Qin Lie was suddenly at a loss for words.

Storm in there?

Inside the cave, even Shangguan Feixing could not withstand Qin Qing’s edge—if he hadn’t dodged early, he would probably already be dead by Qin Qing’s hand. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

And now they wanted him to go in? How was that different from sending him to his death?

"I actually have an idea." Not far away, Ning Qingqing approached, looking flatteringly at Shangguan Feixing: "Young Master Shangguan, I have a way to make that Qin Qing come out on his own!"

"Speak!"

Shangguan Feixing glanced at Ning Qingqing.

Ning Qingqing hastily pointed to Ning Nianci behind her and said, "Senior Brother Shangguan, this is my younger cousin Ning Nianci. I am Ning Qingqing. My cousin, Ning Nianci, has a good relationship with Qin Qing."

"If we use Ning Nianci to threaten Qin Qing, we should be able to force him out..."

Standing behind, Ning Nianci’s face changed drastically when she heard Ning Qingqing’s words.

She had never expected that Ning Qingqing would actively offer Shangguan Feixing a strategy, suggesting she be used as a hostage to threaten Qin Qing.

"Oh? Her relationship with Qin Qing is good?" Shangguan Feixing’s icy gaze swept over Ning Nianci,

causing Ning Nianci to tremble with fear.

"Come here!"

Shangguan Feixing said coldly.

Shaking with fear, Ning Nianci stood frozen in place, not daring to move. She was afraid that Shangguan Feixing might hurt her, but what she feared even more was that her brother Qin Qing would indeed come out of the cave after hearing her voice.

"Xiao Ci, come here. Senior Brother Shangguan won’t really hurt you," Ning Qingqing beckoned to Ning Nianci.

Ning Nianci shook her head, unwilling to step forward.

Shangguan Feixing seemed to grow impatient.

He waved to a young man with a scar at the corner of his brow, who understood the signal and started walking toward Ning Nianci.

As Ning Nianci turned to flee, she was grabbed by the man.

"Slap!"

The young man slapped Ning Nianci across her face.

"Little wench, you think you can run?"

He dragged Ning Nianci and threw her at Shangguan Feixing’s feet.

Shangguan Feixing squatted down, looking at Ning Nianci with a smile that was not quite a smile. He stretched out a hand, pinching Ning Nianci’s chin, and lifted her head.

"How about it? Scared?!"

"Don’t be. As long as you do as I say, I guarantee you won’t be harmed at all."

"No!" Ning Nianci shook her head and said, "I know what you all want to do, but I will not betray Brother Qin Qing."

"What did you say?" Shangguan Feixing’s eyes bulged with anger, a storm brewing within him. He stomped on Ning Nianci’s back.

"Puh!" Ning Nianci spat out blood.

Shangguan Feixing’s stomp had not the slightest hint of mercy; Ning Nianci, such a young girl, was thus trampled under his foot.

"Still stubborn now?" Shangguan Feixing asked with a sneer.

"No... no, I won’t betray Brother Qin Qing," Ning Nianci still shook her head, refusing to submit despite the extreme pain.

"Brother Qin Qing, don’t come out, don’t come save me..." Ning Nianci looked towards the cave entrance, whispering softly.

"Truly ignorant of what’s good for you!"

Shangguan Feixing, furious to the extreme, grabbed Ning Nianci’s clothes and slapped her face repeatedly.

"Brother Qin Qing, Brother Qin Qing? What is he, you think so highly of him?" Shangguan Feixing spoke coldly. After a few more slaps, Ning Nianci’s cheeks were swollen, her head had suffered severe trauma, and she was on the verge of losing consciousness.

"Senior Brother Shangguan, this... My cousin doesn’t know any better, please let her go!" Ning Qingqing was somewhat panicked.

"Slap!" Another sharp slap from Shangguan Feixing landed on Ning Qingqing’s face, sending her flying.

"And what are you? A lowly woman, daring to tell me what to do?" Shangguan Feixing glared at Ning Qingqing, who was terrified out of her wits. She dared not voice any complaints and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing nonstop, begging for mercy.

"Actually... Senior Brother Shangguan, there’s no need to make the little girl speak for herself. We can just tell Qin Qing that this little girl named Ning Nianci is in our hands, isn’t that enough?" Qin Lie said.

Shangguan Feixing snorted and stepped on Ning Nianci’s back again.

"Qin Qing, I know you can hear me!" Shangguan Feixing’s voice traveled from the cave entrance into the lair of the White Flood Dragon.

"This little girl, Ning Nianci, is now under my feet. You wouldn’t want to see her dead, would you?"

"If you don’t want her to die, then come out right now!"

Within the lair of the White Flood Dragon.

Qin Qing had just awakened the Dragon Blood Physique.

He was still getting used to his physical body after the transformation.

However, Shangguan Feixing’s voice suddenly came through, echoing within the cave:

"If you don’t want her to die, then come out right now!"

"If you don’t want her to die, then come out right now!"

...

Qin Qing’s eyes flew open in an instant.

"Xiao Ci!"

"Shangguan Feixing, Xiao Ci had better not be harmed in any way; otherwise, I, Qin Qing, will assuredly not let you off!"

Qin Qing, ablaze with rage, hurried towards the cave entrance,

with Gong Yanghe following closely behind.

When Qin Qing arrived at the cave entrance and saw the scene before him, his inner desire for slaughter became uncontrollable!

He saw Ning Nianci, her face so swollen it was disfigured, and her body bearing signs of severe beating.

And there, little Ci was being stepped on by Shangguan Feixing, who was nonchalantly stomping on her, carelessly tormenting her face with the tip of his shoe.
