Martial Arts: My Talent Has No Limits

Chapter 50: Mastery of the Three Combinations, Minor Success in Swordsmanship

Upon hearing this...

Qin Jiu frowned even more deeply.

"What does he want to do?"

"Master, please forgive me."

Qin Xuanzhou lowered his head and said, "They don't want to use this to return to the Qin family, but rather to give us this Fire Scale Pearl so that we can protect Qin Jingchuan if necessary at the Xuanxiao Sect. That's why I thought of reporting to you; otherwise, I would have refused immediately."

"Bring me the item so I can take a look."

Qin Jiu's face remained expressionless.

He immediately accepted the Fire Scale Pearl brought by the other party.

The bead was the size of a pigeon's egg, smooth and warm to the touch, resembling agate with a reddish-orange hue. He stroked it for a moment, then asked, "Besides Qin Jingchuan, who else did they arrange to go with them?"

"Those four spots..."

"Each of the three families arranged for a child with better natural gifts, with the Qin Jingzheng family taking two spots."

"Let's proceed with the normal transaction."

After listening, Qin Jiu tossed the Fire Scale Pearl in his hand over and said, "However, you have to go to the inner palace and ask my mother first. If she is willing to accept this pearl, then accept it. If she is not willing to accept it, then send it back to them."

"Yes."

Qin Xuanzhou's expression shifted.

He hurriedly left the east wing with the Fire Scale Pearl in his hand.

Watching his departing figure.

Qin Jiu was slightly lost in thought.

Then, wielding a deep blue longsword, he continued to practice his stance training, using his internal energy to open his meridians while simultaneously executing his sword techniques.

The blade's edge moved at will.

A series of sharp, piercing sounds quickly filled the courtyard.

Over time.

A flurry of cold, gleaming blades flashed.

Gradually overlapping.

Until a certain moment, all the afterimages left by the long sword disappeared, and a chilling killing intent suddenly erupted, blowing the snow on the ground into the air.

'Buzz'

A dull rumble.

Suddenly, it exploded from inside his body.

"With internal and external forces fully integrated, this marks the initial mastery of the Overlord Blade..."

Qin Jiu looked slightly taken aback.

Immediately, a look of joy appeared on his face.

These past few days.

He had just managed to connect most of the meridians outside of the eight main meridians, and his martial arts realm was already close to the third level of mastery. In addition, his swordsmanship had reached a minor level of mastery, so his strength had increased dramatically again. If he were to encounter Baili Ce again, he could probably kill him with a single strike.

"This is truly an unexpected delight."

But not long after that.

Qin Jiu's joyful mood was shattered.

East wing gate.

A figure rushed in with a look of urgency.

"Master..."

"People from the Divine Fist Sect have arrived. The two lords from the Profound Cloud Sect are currently keeping them company in the reception room."

"They found us so quickly?"

Qin Jiu frowned.

He immediately drew his knife, walked out of the east wing, and strode towards the reception room.

......

Meanwhile, inside the hall...

Five figures are facing off.

Two of them were Qi Yuan and Xu Jinghua. The other three figures were led by a woman with a silver spear and a fierce look on her face. The other two figures were behind her and were surrounded by an aura that belonged to the inner strength level.

"Brother Qi, we once fought side by side."

"We have come here with no intention of making enemies of your sect. However, one of our outer sect deacons and two disciples arrived in Songshan County ahead of us and died within a day. I hope Brother Qi can understand my predicament and allow me to inquire with the person in charge of the Qin family."

"Oh, right."

"That outer sect deacon is also a member of my junior sister Baili's clan. She has only completed the third stage of cultivation and has already developed secret power. I'm afraid that in less than ten years, she will be able to step into the Willow Tendon realm, or even a higher level. If you two can do me a favor now, my junior sister will definitely remember your kindness."

"Besides, that Qin Jiu..."

"After all, he hasn't been registered in your sect yet. Having him come with us to cooperate with the investigation won't be considered an offense against your sect's authority."

"What are your thoughts, both of you?"

The person speaking.

It was not a woman carrying a gun.

Instead, it was a handsome young man standing behind her.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan immediately shook his head.

"Not good."

"What you are talking about has nothing to do with my junior brother. Please leave this place."

"Irrelevant?!"

At this time.

The woman, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke.

His words carried a murderous intent.

"In this city, there are only a handful of forces capable of killing my uncle, and the four third-level martial artists of the Qin family. On the day of the incident, they had contact with the Han family and the Qin family, but they all died the following night, including the Han family from the inner city."

"The Qin family, which is also one of the major families in the inner city, is unharmed."

"Whether it is or not."

"The Qin family must give me an explanation."

"presumptuous!"

Qi Yuan was furious and said coldly, "Don't even mention that you've only just cultivated your secret power. Even a direct disciple of the Divine Fist Sect wouldn't dare to offend the dignity of my sect. What kind of thing are you that you dare to make my sect's core disciples answer to you?"

"you......"

The woman flew into a rage.

The young man standing to the side immediately changed his expression.

He even knew his junior sister's character.

Therefore, he hurriedly said, "Junior sister, please don't be angry. I will take care of everything for you."

"Brother Qi, don't be so harsh. That person, after all, can't even be considered a disciple of the Xuanxiao Sect..."

'Ta-ta'

At this time.

Qin Jiu walked into the hall with a knife in his hand.

Several pairs of eyes immediately converged on them.

"The main character has arrived."

The young man's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said to Qin Jiu, "This must be the head of the Qin family."

"I am an inner disciple of the Divine Fist Sect."

"I have come to the Qin family to investigate the death of Baili Ce."

"Could you please have everyone from the Qin family come to Tongfu Inn to cooperate with our investigation? If this matter truly has nothing to do with the Qin family, we will offer our apologies..."

"This matter has nothing to do with my Qin family."

Qin Jiu shook his head slightly.

Bai Li Ce, Ruan Chen, and the other two were killed by his own hand; it really had nothing to do with the Qin family.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "There's no need to go out."

"If any of you have any questions, you can ask them here. I will answer whatever I know."

"We have several witnesses from that night."

The young man spoke, his gaze sweeping over the armored woman, and sighed, "But now they're all immobilized and need..."

"Senior brother, why waste so much time on words?"

suddenly.

The woman interrupted the young man and looked coldly at Qin Jiu.

"That night, someone appeared near Tongfu Inn. I, Baili Su, am here because I have evidence. You should go there with the rest of the Qin family now and let the witness see it."

"Qin does not want to repeat himself a second time."

"Since you have no further questions, please leave."

Qin Jiu remained expressionless.

However, he had doubts about what this person said.

That night, all the survivors who were watching the battle at Tongfu Inn were dealt with by Wang Yue and Qin Xuanzhou.

How can there be so-called witnesses?

He pondered.

Qi Yuan also reprimanded him with a cold face.

The three men's faces turned ugly, and after a few moments of stalemate, they finally turned and left the hall.

"Junior sister, don't worry."

"My senior brother from the Qin family will try to think of a solution."

"You can definitely get them to cooperate with you..."

In front of the Qin Mansion.

Upon hearing this, Baili Su stopped in his tracks, his eyes filled with coldness, and said, "Why bother with such trouble for a mere small family? They are not worthy of my, Baili Su's, time to waste. Senior brothers, please wait here for a moment."
