Chapter 671: True Face of Qin Yuehan!
"Huh?"
Peng Yan was stunned for a moment. "But we are fellow disciples from the same sect. Should we not act together from now on?"
"Being fellow disciples is one thing, but do you not understand what your strength is?"
Before Qin Yuehan could speak, a tall, thin youth at the 8th level of Heavenly Core Realm beside him sneered. "With a mere 3rd level Heavenly Core Realm cultivation, you cannot even stand steadily here, yet you want to act with us? Other than being a burden, what use could you possibly have?"
"You!"
Peng Yan’s face instantly turned bright red.
Even if those words were true, for the tall, thin youth to say them like that was truly too insulting.
One had to know that they were fellow disciples from the same sect.
"Senior Brother Qin, you..."
He could not help looking at Qin Yuehan, a hint of hope appearing in his eyes.
But Qin Yuehan’s cold words directly shattered his illusion. "Do not call me Senior Brother Qin. From now on, our relationship as senior and junior brothers is over. For what comes next, you are on your own."
After saying this, he looked coldly at Li Yun and the other 4th level Heavenly Core Realm cultivators, then said indifferently, "And the rest of you, do not even think about following me. If I find out, I will personally take action and deal with you first."
"This..."
Except for Li Yun, everyone’s expressions immediately became extremely unsightly.
Qin Yuehan’s words were simply too harsh.
"Senior Brother Qin..."
Among the three 8th level Heavenly Core Realm cultivators, a hint of reluctance flashed in the eyes of a blue-robed youth as he spoke. "Is it not a bit inappropriate to do this?"
"What is inappropriate about it?"
Qin Yuehan looked coldly at the blue-robed youth and said calmly, "If you have an objection, you can go with that group of trash. In any case, I am not short of one person under me."
"This..."
The blue-robed youth’s expression shifted for a moment. Finally, he gritted his teeth and sighed. "Forget I said anything, Senior Brother Qin. I will definitely follow you."
"That is more like it."
Qin Yuehan’s expression was indifferent as he looked at Li Yun and the others, saying coolly, "What are all of you still standing here in a daze for? Hurry up and get lost. Do you really need me to personally drive you away?"
"We are leaving now."
Peng Yan and the others had unsightly expressions. Finally, they let out a cold snort and turned to leave.
Li Yun’s expression was calm, and he also turned to depart.
He did not really care about Qin Yuehan turning his back on them. In any case, he had never intended to rely on Qin Yuehan, so he naturally felt no disappointment or anger.
"Hold on."
But just as Li Yun took a step, a voice suddenly rang out.
Then, the tall, thin youth at the 8th level of Heavenly Core Realm flickered and immediately appeared in front of Li Yun.
With a mocking smile on his face, he blocked Li Yun’s path and sneered. "Kid, they can leave, but you cannot just walk away like this."
"What do you mean by this?"
Li Yun stopped in his tracks, his expression suddenly turning cold.
"It does not mean much."
The tall, thin youth rubbed his fingers together and said with a fake smile, "They can leave because they at least have some ability to protect themselves. But you, a mere cultivator at the 7th level of Earthly Core Realm, what survival capability could you possibly have in the Annihilation Battlefield? Rather than letting you die in vain and wasting the twenty Source Stones and medicinal pills bestowed by the sect master, it would be better for you to hand them over. That way, they will be put to good use."
"So, you have set your sights on the Source Stones bestowed by the sect master?"
Li Yun’s gaze was cold as he looked at the tall, thin youth.
"Set my sights on the Source Stones?"
The tall, thin youth shook his head, his smile not reaching his eyes. "No, I am not setting my sights on these Source Stones. I am only trying to avoid letting them go to waste. Besides, I am not asking for these Source Stones for myself, but for Senior Brother Qin Yuehan."
With that, he glanced at Qin Yuehan and said flatteringly, "Senior Brother Qin, would you not say so?"
Qin Yuehan nodded without a word, essentially agreeing with the tall, thin youth’s words.
"Well, kid, have you made up your mind?"
With Qin Yuehan’s support, the tall, thin youth grew even more confident. He sneered and said, "If you obediently hand over the Source Stones, Senior Brother Qin might be in a good mood and show some mercy by protecting you for a while. But if you refuse, do not blame me for being impolite."
"Impolite?"
Li Yun’s expression turned completely cold. He said icily, "I would like to see just how impolite you plan to be."
Previously, Li Yun had not felt much toward Qin Yuehan and this tall, thin youth. Although he did not particularly like them, he had not treated them as enemies either. In a dangerous environment like the Annihilation Battlefield, disregarding fellow disciples and abandoning the weak was contemptible, but it was only a sign of poor character.
But now, they were actually thinking of plundering their own fellow disciple.
This behavior had gone too far.
"It seems you really will not give up until you see the coffin."
Hearing Li Yun’s words, the tall, thin youth’s expression shifted slightly before he cracked his knuckles and sneered. "Since you are so intent on seeking death, I will grant your wish. Die."
A dark green longsword appeared in his hand.
With a sudden thrust, a streak of dark green Sword Qi lunged toward Li Yun’s throat.
Seeing the dark green Sword Qi about to pierce Li Yun’s throat, a sneer appeared on the tall, thin youth’s face.
No matter how much Elder Zi Canglan had praised this kid, he was still only at the 7th level of Earthly Core Realm. The tall, thin youth believed he could slaughter a whole pile of such trash with a single strike.
"Scram."
Right then, Li Yun let out a cold shout.
With a wave of his hand, the sword immortal puppet appeared beside him. After he poured thirty Source Stones into it, the sword immortal puppet instantly erupted with the aura of the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm.
Swish!
A peerlessly sharp Sword Qi erupted.
With a single clash, it shattered the dark green Sword Qi and sent the tall, thin youth flying.
Pfft!
The tall, thin youth spat out a mouthful of blood.
He looked down at his clothes in disbelief. A massive gash had been sliced through them, and blood was flowing from the wound beneath.
"I actually got hurt. I was wounded by a kid at the 7th level of Earthly Core Realm."
His face was filled with disbelief.
Recalling the scene just now, his eyes suddenly widened.
9th level of Heavenly Core Realm.
This kid actually had a puppet at the 9th level of Heavenly Core Realm.
