Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Heartbeat

"So powerful..."

Zong Yan said with a trembling voice. It was the first time he had seen Qin Jun act so ferociously. Although Qin Jun had made moves before, he almost always killed his opponents instantly, and the scene had never been as spectacular. Now, Qin Jun was able to cooperate with Li Yuanba, their tacit understanding completely overturning his worldview.

They didn’t dare to fight against such a Qin Jun.

Even Ye Xuan, the chief disciple of Yan Qing Sect, felt the same.

Under the cooperation of Qin Jun and Li Yuanba, the monks were slaughtered like melons and split dates, fleeing in utter disgrace, almost scared out of their wits, and dared not to continue the fight.

Soon, Ye Xuan and the other two ran up to Qin Jun. Just as they were about to greet him, Qin Jun directly ignored them and charged towards the Green Demon Wolves. Li Yuanba, with bloodshot eyes, almost hammered them, causing them to shudder all over. Fortunately, Li Yuanba stopped in time.

"How did I run into such weaklings."

Li Yuanba muttered as he brushed past them, leaving the three feeling so embarrassed they wished they could disappear into a crack in the ground.

But they couldn’t harbor any resentment towards Li Yuanba, because the gap in strength between them and Li Yuanba was indeed as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.

"It seems this Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition will truly become Qin Jun’s stage," Murong Xuan sighed. Zong Yan watched the backs of the two men and numbly nodded in agreement. The three didn’t continue to flee—why would they, with Qin Jun and Li Yuanba there?

Just watching was fine!

Meanwhile, Qin Jun and Li Yuanba, like tigers entering a flock of sheep, killed all the monks following Ye Xuan and the others instantly, letting them die without pain.

Then came the Green Demon Wolves!

Qin Jun’s eyes flickered with a sharp light. He suddenly stomped on the ground, causing the grass beneath his feet to collapse, and his body soared like a rocket. He raised his right hand high, holding the Silver Dragon Soul Spear, exuding an air of overlooking the world.

Li Yuanba charged into the pack of wolves like a ghost, his unimaginable terrifying power directly sending the Green Demon Wolves flying, blood spraying in the sky, accompanied by the sounds of bones breaking and wolves howling intermittently.

With a boom!

Qin Jun’s spear came crashing down, and the 5,000-pound Silver Dragon Soul Spear smashed into a Green Demon Wolf, crushing it beyond recognition and even embedding it into the ground.

At the same time, the silver dragon coiled around Qin Jun let out a whine and then ravaged its way through the wolves, tearing them apart with brutal ferocity.

As Qin Jun speared and killed the Green Demon Wolves, he couldn’t help but lament in his mind, "My killing techniques are still too few. The battles aren’t flashy enough, not cool enough!"

Li Yuanba, with no fancy moves, relied on strength that was more than a thousand times greater than Qin Jun’s, producing combat performances that were visually stunning and surpassed all spectacular spells.

Had it not been for the protection of the silver dragon, Qin Jun would have easily been overshadowed by Li Yuanba’s overwhelming presence.

A group of second-order demon wolves quickly disbanded in front of the two.

In less than half a minute, hundreds of demon wolves lay dead, of course, most of which were slaughtered by Li Yuanba—Qin Jun only did a small part of the work.

Damned beasts!

Qin Jun wiped the blood from his face while cursing under his breath; Li Yuanba was like an unstoppable machine in combat, able to kill ten demon wolves in the time it took Qin Jun to kill one.

"Yuanba, could you leave half for me next time?" Qin Jun said helplessly, and Li Yuanba could only scratch his head and give a silly laugh.

Soon, Ye Xuan and the other two, Qin Yun, Zhu Yanqing, and Roaring Sky Dog came over. Right now, Ye Xuan was fussing over Zhu Yanqing, which annoyed Qin Jun.

He hadn’t felt it before, but ever since he and Zhu Yanqing had held hands, Qin Jun had started to see her as his own forbidden territory, naturally displeased with Ye Xuan’s attentive behavior towards her.

And he had asked Zhu Yanqing; she said her relationship with Ye Xuan was merely that of fellow disciples.

"Yanqing, come here and help me wipe the blood off my face," Qin Jun called out mockingly, causing Ye Xuan’s expression to stiffen.

Zong Yan and Murong Xuan’s expressions also turned strange.

Despite rolling her eyes, Zhu Yanqing actually walked towards Qin Jun, which surprised Qin Jun and completely dumbfounded Ye Xuan.

Qin Jun had only been joking to interrupt Ye Xuan’s flirtation and had not expected Zhu Yanqing to really come over.

"Could it be she’s planning to mock me?"

A bad feeling welled up in Qin Jun’s heart. When he looked up, he saw that Zhu Yanqing’s normally cool and detached face unexpectedly showed a rare smile. Although beautiful, it also made Qin Jun feel uneasy.

Big sister...

I was just joking...

Qin Jun felt like crying without tears. At that moment, Zhu Yanqing arrived in front of him, stiffening his whole body. However, in the next second, her action left him stunned, and everyone else watched, dumbfounded.

All they saw was Zhu Yanqing lifting her right hand, her fingers pressing down on her sleeve to wipe Qin Jun’s face with a tender expression, as if a wife were wiping her husband’s face upon his return. Everything seemed to stand still with only the two of them left in the world. Qin Jun stared dumbly at Zhu Yanqing, his heartbeat quickening.

This was the first time he had experienced such a strange feeling.

"What’s with that look? Are you afraid I’m going to eat you?" Zhu Yanqing asked quietly. Her calm and cool face stared at Qin Jun, their eyes locked. Qin Jun felt somewhat guilty and quickly diverted his gaze.

Murong Xuan, Zong Yan, and Qin Yun watched, unable to close their mouths for a long time.

Ye Xuan’s eyes seemed to shoot fire, his hands clenched into fists, while Roaring Sky Dog kept a careful watch on Ye Xuan, examining him.

"Ahem..."

Qin Jun, who always boasted being an old hand at this, unexpectedly blushed, a rare occurrence. Even when facing Daji, Li, or You Fenghuang, he never felt embarrassed, but under Zhu Yanqing’s gaze, he inexplicably felt like he had found his first love.

Dammit!

To be so embarrassed despite having lived two lifetimes!

As Qin Jun mustered up the courage to speak and take advantage, Zhu Yanqing turned and walked to one side.

Actually, the reason for Zhu Yanqing’s bold behavior was precisely to show Ye Xuan. She could not miss how Ye Xuan was trying to ingratiate himself with her, but she herself had little regard for him, especially after his timid silence at Bronze Pass. That made it even less likely for her to be with Ye Xuan.

Furthermore, she had long realized that Ye Xuan’s affection wasn’t truly for her as a person, but for her background.

After all, the two of them didn’t have much interaction within the Yan Qing Sect.

"Your Highness, Ye Xuan has an artifact on him."

The voice of Roaring Sky Dog suddenly sounded in Qin Jun’s ear, causing him to frown. What did it matter if it was an artifact? Was it expected that Qin Jun should rob him for it?

Although Qin Jun considered himself lacking in moral fiber, he wasn’t degraded enough to turn to robbery.

"It’s a third-grade Wolf King’s artifact. The reason why they were pursued by the pack was precisely because he has the Wolf King’s artifact on him," Roaring Sky Dog continued to communicate telepathically.

Qin Jun realized the implication but didn’t take it to heart. Compared to a third-grade Wolf King’s artifact, his dragon pearl was of much greater value.

"Hmph! If I find out who attracted the pack, I’ll make sure to kill him!"

Zong Yan broke the awkward silence, changing the subject. With his words, a vicious look appeared on Murong Xuan’s face. Being pursued by the pack for no reason had naturally put them in a foul mood.

If they hadn’t met Qin Jun and the others, they would probably have been forced to withdraw from the competition.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun’s face took on a strange expression as he instinctively looked at Ye Xuan, whose expression remained normal. He seemed unaffected by Zhu Yanqing’s actions and unchanged by Zong Yan’s words.

Deep and inscrutable indeed!
