Supreme Emperor of Mist

"Second sister!!!" Qin Qin screamed as the jaw of the Yao Beast came in between Qin Chan's side. From the look of it, it would be impossible for her to escape from this.

But...

There's always a 'but' in everything.

Multiple white strings came into the play as it tries to buy Qin Chan a little time to move away. And what's following next was Lu Qing Yun's participation in the battle between two Bone Reconstruction Cultivators.

"Crushing Wave!" Lu Qing Yun's palm attack went straight to the head of the Demonic Flame Tiger. The moment her attack connected, an extreme discomfort feeling seems to be visibly shown in the Yao Beast's eyes.

Breaking away from the white strings of clothes used by Lu Qing Yun as her weapon, the Demonic Flame Tiger landed not far from where it was initially. And giving out a few burps, a mouthful of blood soon coughed out by the beast.

"Roar!" the Demonic Flame Tiger shivered a little as it remained cautious towards Qin Chan and Lu Qing Yun. It doesn't even dare to make a move towards where Gou Ye is right now.

"Qing - Qing Yun is a ninth-level Flesh Refining Cultivator already?" Qin Huang's jaw dropped as he measured the Spiritual Energy released by Lu Qing Yun. Furthermore, the quality of her Spiritual Energy does not lose to Qin Chan.

Even Hu Jia was surprised by Lu Qing Yun's strength.

'It seems I cannot be lax in my cultivation.' the same thought appeared in Hu Jia, Qin Qin, and Qin Huang's minds. 

Although Lu Qing Yun is now no longer considered as a servant of the Qin's Household, their pride is somewhat wounded after witnessing her strength.

And being the first person to receive a Heaven's Grade Defensive Treasure from Qin Lan further solidity her position amongst Qin Lan's followers.

"My heaven... Senior sister Qing Yun is a Full-Completion Flesh Refining Cultivator? But we rarely see her train with us, correct?" You Qing and Han Xue stare deeply at Lu Qing Yun. Suddenly, each of her movements became more feminine and attractive as they're both charmed by her.

**Xiu! Xiu!**

"Dok!" two pebbles went to their forehead to wake them up from getting absorbed into a wonderland. Even themselves has no idea why they find Lu Qing Yun dazzlingly attractive in this crucial moment.

"It seems sister Qing Yun has been hiding her cultivation strength as a secret for quite long... Is that ordered by my third brother?" Qin Chan sat down on where she stands as she takes advantage of the Essence Transformation Pill's medicinal effect.

Lu Qing Yun smiled. She neither denied nor admitted. All she did is to keep a calm demeanor as she protects Qin Chan while she recovers.

Like an eye of the typhoon, all the excess Spiritual Energy started to converge above Qin Chan as it was absorbed into her core.

"ROAR!" the Demonic Flame Tiger fired another breath attack. But it was pointless with Lu Qing Yun's participation in this battle. With the Spiritual Energy of a ninth-level injected into her Heaven's Strings, Lu Qing Yun could even block an attack from a second-level Bone Reconstruction Cultivator without breaking a sweat.

All she lacks off is a bow right now, which will allow her to attack her opponent at a distance.

...

...

"You! Are you in that hurry to die first?" Gou Ye's shout can be heard even from where Qin Lan was treating Expert Xie.

Looking at the bloody scene unfolding where the battle of three ended into five people fighting, Qin Lan has no other choice but to take action.

'Looks like I'll have to help them a little...' Qin Lan's Eight Transformation Treasured Brush quickly made its appearance once more. Two long prongs of energy appeared from both the tip and the end of the brush when Qin Lan injected half of the Spiritual Energy he has into the treasure.

**Xiuuuuuuuu...**

Qin Lan made a whistling sound as he prepared to fire the hairpin in replacement of an arrow.

"Move!" Huo Zunjie pulled his sword as he retreated. Even Qiangshou rolled on the ground while hugging Lu Yi. The only person that's unable to move freely was Yi Feng, who still had his leg captured by the frenzied Gou Ye.

"A Shot Without Will (Wu-Yi-Zi-Jian!)"

The arrow using a hairpin as its arrowhead came fiercely at Gou Ye faster than the speed of light. Along with the shot was a streak of golden light without a hint of emotional intent.

There was a saying,

"An attack without an intent within was blunt like the surface of a rock. An unpolish martial art is no different from an opera show by the side of the road."

The sentence above stated how crucial is the state of mind when a user is trying to achieve something.

But what if the creator surpasses that limitation?

Law was a definition of order. And at the same time, Law was made to be broken. The Kuangshan Lu Sect exists because Qin Lan created it to be a land of promise. But he defies it when it comes to moving forward to the next step of cultivation.

By understanding this, it helps Qin Lan created the third form of his Transformation.

**Bam!**

It was like a moment of blackout for everyone present.

...

'What kind of martial comprehension he has to achieve to execute such an attack?' Expert Xie stares blankly at Qin Lan while he's firing an arrow that wasn't an arrow. Qin Lan's move was as simple as an archer firing a shot, but to Expert Xie, this was an experience of a lifetime.

If he were given another chance to choose his weapon of choice again, he would select the bow without hesitation.

At the same time as his consciousness return to him, Expert Xie noticed that his right arm has now returned to how it was. Furthermore, some of the complications left behind due to mistakes when practicing his martial art were also solved from a few of Qin Lan's acupuncture needles.

"How do you feel now?" Qin Lan turned around as he put the Eight Transformation Treasured Brush back into his sleeve pocket as he measured Expert Xie's pulse. After giving him a smile, Qin Lan voluntarily extends his hand to pull the expert up from sitting on the cold, uncomfortable rock.

...

Back to Gou Ye...

The impact was like being hit by a hammer the moment it struck Gou Ye in his chest. Unable to even control where he's going to be thrown at, Gou Ye was forced to released Yi Feng's leg as he struggles to protect his vital part as he crashes around.

It was like getting trapped inside a wheel of turbulence wind as he lost his sense of direction, touch, and pain. It was only a pitch of black as he opened his eyes to see what's before him.

'Am I dead?' Gou Ye asked himself a question. He was in confusion as it takes him a while to slowly regain all his five senses. The next moment when he finally able to see and feel, he was lying on the back of the Demonic Flame Tiger.

His sense of smell also returned as he can smell the sweetness of blood carried by the wind blowing around them as the Yao Beast is traveling at high speed.

When his sense of hearing finally came along, Gou Ye started to notice the irregular breathing that came from the Yao Beast. It was weak, hurried, and dying.

As he was too weak right now to look at where he's at, Gou Ye started to feel a little restless.

Even Qin Lan could felt a hint of uneasiness in the Spiritual Energy around the air as he inserted a few acupuncture needles around Lu Yi's chest.

This guy can be said to barely manage to keep his life together after receiving a blow straight into his chest.

If it was someone else, perhaps that cultivator has already succumbed to death minutes after taking Gou Ye's Demonic Firefist.

"Qing Yun, give him some treatment as I continue with the needle treatment." Qin Lan said as he continues to administer the needles on Lu Yi's chest.

Behind him was Qin Chan, who had blood all over her due to the battle earlier. From the way she looked, it seems that Qin Chan is still feeling disturbed by what happened after Qin Lan fired the arrow at Gou Ye.

"Second sister... Take your time to rest as we're going to be on our way back to the middle convoy soon. You're the only Bone Reconstruction Cultivator of our Qin Faction, so take your time to collect yourself together." said Qin Lan.

"En... I'll go over there and meditates." Qin Chan nodded. As she was prepared to leave, Expert Xie came to her side and handed her an exquisite bottle. Inside of that bottle is a precious pill that impossible for Qin Lan to refine right now.

"Marrow Cleansing Pill? This gift is too much, Expert Xie... Please forgive me for not able to accept this." Qin Chan placed the bottle back in Expert Xie's hand.

"Miss Qin, please take this. How can this surname Xie be calculative at this time after everything the Qin Faction do for me?" Expert Xie insisted.

"Then... I'll accept expert Xie's goodwill for now," Qin Chan nodded as she kept the bottle in her hand.
