Chapter 390: Chapter 390: A Chance at Life

At this moment, the three assassins from Silver Moon were in such pain they wished for death, unable to muster any strength in their bodies.

They couldn’t even gather the strength to bite their own tongues, let alone kill themselves; they could only just manage to speak clearly.

Qin Chuan did not immediately relieve the pain of the three men but allowed the agony to torment them continuously. After a full three minutes, as the three began to roll their eyes back, Qin Chuan finally removed the Silver Needles.

The instant the Silver Needles left their bodies, that excruciating pain vanished.

The three old things lay on the ground, gasping for air; sweat had already drenched them like drowned chickens.

Qin Chuan spoke up, "Now, can you tell me about the cultivation technique you practice?"

Seeing his expressionless face, a chilling sensation crept up the three old men’s spines. Qin Chuan’s methods had been deeply etched into their minds. Even if they could leave alive today, Qin Chuan would become the nightmare of their lifetime.

"I’ll tell!"

The leading assassin hurriedly spoke, "The cultivation technique we practice is called the Four Symbols Technique, and it requires four martialists of equal Martial Path Realm to practice together."

"Moreover, the Four Symbols Technique is only an auxiliary technique. Apart from it, each of the four brothers has practiced other techniques."

"Specifically, the second mainly practices a Defensive Technique, the third a Speed Technique, the fourth a Strength Technique, and I practice a technique that integrates defense, speed, and strength."

Hearing the other party’s words, Qin Chuan remembered that indeed there were some very powerful auxiliary techniques that could harness the power of several individuals to display strength far beyond their own cultivation levels.

But auxiliary techniques were extremely rare, even in the Kunlun Divine Prison, they were seldom seen.

Unexpectedly, he encountered such an auxiliary cultivation technique outside.

Seeing Qin Chuan not responding, the lead assassin quickly took out a scroll he was carrying and handed it to Qin Chuan, "This is the Four Symbols Technique. You can take a look; if there is anything unclear, feel free to ask, and we brothers will spare no effort to explain."

Qin Chuan ignored the other party and began reading the scroll instead.

Indeed, as the leading assassin had said, in order to practice the Four Symbols Technique, one must bring together martialists primarily versed in Speed, Strength, and Defensive Techniques, including one who practices all three types.

The stronger the primary techniques the four martialists practice, the more powerful the combined strength they can unleash.

In addition, the four martialists need to be perfectly in sync; the more in tune they are and the closer their Martial Path Realm, the stronger their combined strength will be.

All of a sudden, Qin Chuan looked at the second brother and said, "I’ll give you a chance to live. All you need to do is defend with all your might. I’ll throw only one punch, and I’ll use just one percent of my strength. If you can survive my punch, then I’ll let you go."

Upon hearing this, the second brother’s face lit up with excitement as he quickly said, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for giving me this precious opportunity. I will give it my all!"

The eldest and the third brothers looked at the second with envy, not expecting that he would have a chance to survive.

As they envied, resented, and hated, the second brother had already assumed the best defensive stance and solemnly said, "Mr. Qin, please make your move!"

In his heart, the second brother was already overjoyed beyond measure, not believing that Qin Chuan would actually offer to only use one percent of his strength to attack.

Although they were all Energizing Skill Late Stage Realm martialists, because of their years of combat experience, each one’s real combat power could rival an Energizing Skill Peak Realm martialist.

Furthermore, as a Defensive Martial Artist, his physical strength was comparable to a King Realm Initial Stage expert.

Even if Qin Chuan was a King Realm Peak expert, using only one percent of his power, he would not be able to instantly kill him.

It could be said that his life was already saved; however, it was certain that he would be seriously injured.

Compared to death, what’s a serious injury?

After all, it wasn’t as if he had never been seriously injured before.

Just as he was immersed in his own world, Qin Chuan suddenly said, "Get ready, I’m going to attack!"

"Come on!"

The second brother roared loudly as if to psyche himself up, and without taking anything lightly, he directly ran his defensive technique to the extreme, ready to counter the upcoming attack.

The eldest and the third brother were also looking on with anticipation.

It was at that moment that Qin Chuan made his move. His speed wasn’t very fast, but almost in an instant, he appeared in front of the second brother. Without any fancy moves, he simply threw a very ordinary punch; the second brother didn’t even feel any spiritual energy fluctuations from Qin Chuan.

A smirk already formed on the second brother’s lips. Without exerting strength, and merely using one percent of the power, he expected to take my life?

"The second brother’s life is saved!"

The eldest and third couldn’t help but shout excitedly.

"Bang!"

The next second, Qin Chuan’s fist landed on the second brother’s body.

The second brother’s body flew backward like a cannonball, soaring over ten meters before crashing heavily against the trunk of a tree as thick as a head. With a violent collision sound, the second brother’s figure limply fell into the bushes, no longer breathing.

Until this moment, the smiles on the corners of the eldest and third brother’s lips hadn’t faded.

It took a full three seconds for the eldest and third to finally snap back to reality, their smiles instantly turning into despair and sorrow.

"Second brother!"

The two brothers let out agonized howls, but they had to accept the cruel truth: the second brother was dead.

"You cheated!"

The third suddenly looked at Qin Chuan angrily and yelled, "You didn’t use just one percent of your strength!"

To their surprise, Qin Chuan actually nodded: "You’re right, I did not use one percent of my strength..."

Before he could finish, the third angrily interrupted, "I knew it! You bastard never planned on letting the second brother have a way out. You were just toying with us."

Qin Chuan sneered disdainfully, "It’s true I didn’t use one percent of my strength, but when I realized he was underestimating me, I retracted most of it. So, I only used about two-hundredths of my strength."

"However, your brother was too weak. He couldn’t even withstand my two-hundredths of my strength and was killed instantly."

Hearing his words, the eldest and the third were both in utter disbelief.

How could two-hundredths of strength instantly kill the second brother, who was a master of defensive techniques? How could it be?

"Impossible!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

"You must be playing us, you’re so young, how could you kill the second brother with just two-hundredths of your strength?"

The brothers were both filled with anger and disbelief.

Qin Chuan ignored the emotionally uncontrolled pair and turned to the third, saying, "I’ll give you a chance to live as well. Start running now, and ten seconds later, I will begin to hunt you down. Likewise, I will only use one percent of my speed to chase you, and I will only chase you for ten seconds. If you’re still alive after that, I’ll let you go."

The brothers, who had just been on the verge of emotional collapse, were suddenly startled by Qin Chuan’s words, with the third hastily asking, "Are you serious?"

Qin Chuan said expressionlessly, "You have nine seconds left to run for your life!"
