Chapter 141: All Ready

Qin Mian did not entirely lie. At the time when he killed Kang Du, he was still at the early stage of the Innate Realm. He was not far behind Kang Du and was frightened by his murder, so he turned and ran away. The reason why Jiaoshan Sect collapsed so quickly is somewhat related to his actions.
When everyone is gathering their strength and acting together, if someone deflates first, the result is a loss of morale and self-defeat.
Of course, the pants are not wet, saying this is just using exaggerated means to disgust him.
Then the innate realm suddenly changed his face and rushed out of the team, holding his long sword and charging towards Qin Mian, yelling, "Nonsense! Watch me kill you today!"
Undoing his scar in front of so many people, he would completely lose face. How could he still mix in the future?
Then, Tuo Fanjing shouted angrily, "Jia Song, what are you up to?"
Just like other cities, fighting is prohibited within Kaigu City, but the person being provoked can fight back in case of provocation.
Jia Song immediately stopped and angrily said, "Senior Brother Song Wang, he slandered me."
He knew he couldn't do anything against Qin Mian, but he had to put on a show to show that he had the courage. Song Wang shouted and he took the opportunity to go down the stairs.
Qin Mian saw his performance and sneered, "Although your pants are dry, you still lack courage."
Song Wang looked at Qin Mian and said, "As a powerful cultivator, you should not solve problems through verbal attacks."
Qin Mian wore a mocking expression: "You brought over four hundred people and let him provoke you, just to defeat me with your words?"
Song Wang's face turned unpleasant and he glared at Jia Song fiercely, feeling very annoyed.
Originally, I wanted to overwhelm Qin Mian with my momentum, but I didn't expect Jia Song to be such a brainless coward. He unexpectedly ruined all my momentum.
But he still said, "Qin Mian, stop wasting time. After the battle on the Life and Death Stage, I still need to go back to my sect for dinner."
Qin Mian chuckled: "After leaving the Life and Death Platform, you can only search for a peaceful place in the underworld."
He continued loudly: "I declare here that today and tomorrow, I will accept challenges from disciples of the Jiaoshan Sect who have reached the Precelestial Realm at the Life and Death Platform in Kaigu City. All are welcome."
If you want to make a change, then implement the changes you have already thought of.
Someone immediately shouted, "Are you saying that the challenge from Senior Song Wang earlier doesn't count anymore?"
Qin Mian waved his hand: "Naturally, there needs to be a cost involved. As cultivators know, battles require elemental energy, and I need top-grade elemental stones to replenish my energy."
"So, there are conditions for challenging the realm of Transcendence. For the first level of Transcendence, you need to pay a challenge fee of one thousand top-grade elemental stones. For the second level, it's two thousand, and so on. For the ninth level of Transcendence, it's nine thousand top-grade elemental stones."
"If you have Yuen stones, come forward, otherwise stop talking. If you can't produce the corresponding number of Yuen stones, it means you can only come to your death, I don't like killing people randomly."
"Jia Song sneered, 'Qin Mian, are you crazy for lacking Yuen stones? Well, it's understandable, your Zhenyuan Sect is originally poor, so making a few pieces is already considered something.'"
Qin Mian sneered and said, "So it seems that you also believe that I can defeat the Transcendent Mages of the Jiaoshan Sect. Well, it turns out that your idea is quite unique and your vision is very distinctive. Thank you."
Immediately, there were loud laughter on the street.
Except for the disciples of Jiaoshan Sect, most people laughed.
The disciples of Jiaoshan Sect snorted heavily, and Song Wang stared angrily.
Jia Song's face immediately changed unpredictably.
Song Wang shouted, "Qin Mian, don't bluff. I'll give you 6,000 top-grade elemental stones right now."
As he spoke, a faint white beam shot towards Qin Mian.
If he's willing to give away 6,000 top-grade elemental stones so easily, it means this person is very wealthy and either holds some lucrative position or possesses formidable combat power.
Qin Mian put it into the storage ring and said confidently:
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page.)
"Exactly 6,000 yuan. I accept your challenge. Lead the way!"
He stepped aside to let Song Wang lead the team first.
This gave Jia Song the opportunity to mock and he disdainfully said, "Let Song Wang go first, and then you'll escape with 6,000 high-grade spirit stones for free?"
Qin Mian laughed and said, "The disciples cultivated by Jiaoshan Sect always thinking about running away, it can be said to be a big failure."
Song Wang glared at Jia Song fiercely, but said, "Having 6,000 high-quality elemental stones is worth running away."
After speaking, he strode forward.
After more than four hundred Jiaoshan sect cultivators had passed, Qin Mian leisurely followed behind the team.
With so many cultivators appearing, the Lord's Mansion of Kaigu City became exceptionally tense and quickly dispatched the mansion's army to maintain order, loudly proclaiming the rules against fighting within the city.
对焦山宗，城主府是敬畏的，但还是需要出面维持秩序，不然今后没办法维持城内秩序。
People from Jiaoshan Sect originally did not dare to take action, but after Jia Song provoked Qin Min to fall into a bad state, others did not provoke him again.
The result was that Jiaoshan and Qin Mian walked calmly forward, while the people behind and in front watched them retreat, causing a great clamor. The order inside the city was well maintained, which greatly relieved the government forces and the city lord's mansion.
After walking for nearly three miles, there was a commotion from behind, and the crowd following behind quickly split apart, revealing a team of over sixty people. There were individuals in the Transcendence Realm leading the team, including those in the Transcendence Realm, the Innate Realm, and even the Acquired Realm.
When he saw Qin Mian ahead, the practitioner at the 7th level of Transcendence shouted, "Qin Mian, I have heard that you have killed a practitioner at the 7th level of Transcendence. Do you dare to fight me?"
Qin Mian turned to look at the practitioner at the 7th level of Transcendence, who indeed had a good appearance: two meters tall, well-proportioned body, handsome face, and sharp, piercing eyes... but cold and merciless.
First impression, this person does not seem like someone with many hidden motives.
After scanning him, I glanced at the people next to him, and there were a few who were present at the scene where Fan Chun was killed, and they were also the ones fleeing in panic.
After getting a basic understanding of who he was, I asked casually, "Are you from the Fan family?"
Next to me, a person from the Fan family who had transcended the mortal realm proudly said, "Qin Mian, let me tell you, this person is Fan Hao, an unparalleled genius from my Fan family..."
Fan Hao interrupted him and said, "Qin Man, I heard that you are very arrogant and have challenged the disciples of the Jiaoshan Sect who are in the Heavenly Realm. But if you have the ability to kill someone in the 7th level of the Transcendent Realm, why only challenge those in the Heavenly Realm? This is not being arrogant, but cowardly. If you have the guts, why not challenge someone in the Transcendent Realm?"
秦冕满脸嘲讽地说：“那是你有意识、或者向你传达这个信息的人故意忽略了我的另外一个要求。脱凡境想要挑战，可以，付极品元石。降阶挑战不付出一些东西，那是不可能的。你范家人，也许是想请我免费教学，我明确告诉你，没那种可能。”
Fan Hao sneered and automatically filtered out the last sentence, saying, "Cultivator, who wouldn't keep their wealth on them? In the battle on the Life and Death Stage, the victor gets the opponent's storage ring, which contains everything."
Qin Mian waved his hand and said, "Then you should ask the people around you. If they come to challenge me, will they wear storage rings, or what will they put inside the storage rings?"
As long as the challenge is permitted, it can be guaranteed that the challengers' storage rings will contain at most one necessary weapon or auxiliary attack method, and at most a few medicinal pills. This is just like the equipment used by assassins on their missions.
Fan Hao said so, either he doesn't know the ways of the world or he is doing it on purpose.
In Qin Min's opinion, he doesn't believe Fan Hao belongs to the latter, because he subconsciously feels that he wouldn't do it on purpose.
Yes, there is no reason, just a kind of intuition.
Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly saw "floating" to the left not far away.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page.)
There is one Yuanying Stage and two Astral Separation Stage cultivators, all of them are invisible.
Explore the soul cards of the Dark Lotus Tower in the Storage Ring, and the corners of the mouth involuntarily curl up.
Zhao Fan's "Tracing Souls" is indeed effective, no wonder the higher-ups of the Lone Alliance turn a blind eye to Zhao Fan's wrongdoings. With a turn, he immediately recognizes that the three individuals correspond to the soul cards of Hidden Silver 3, Hidden Bronze 5, and Hidden Bronze 9. Hidden Silver is at the 7th stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, while Hidden Bronze is at the 9th and 8th stages of the Out of Mortality Realm, respectively.
Is this still aimed at me?
The Mad Flower Pavilion has gone crazy. They even sent such a powerful team to assassinate, disregarding the current situation of the branch being attacked. Are they trying to continue depleting manpower?
Are they planning to make a move on the way to the life and death arena, or after the competition is over?
There are disciples from Jiaoshan Sect led by Song Wang in front, descendants of the Fan family led by Fan Hao at the back, and assassins from Anhua Lou on the left. Wow, everyone is ready.
Qin Mian's mind was quickly turning...
Jiaoshan Zong's disciples all turned around to look at the team behind them, many of them nodded or greeted each other.
Song Wang and Fan Hao also nodded at each other.
In the eye-to-eye contact, Song Wang had a hint of jealousy, while Fan Hao remained indifferent.
Their clamor brought Qin Mian out of his thoughts, as he pondered on how to deal with these three opponents.
He has already determined that the three killers are here to assassinate him.
Compared to the people from Jiaoshan Sect and Fan Family, the killers are like untrained dogs, they will attack him if given the chance.
He is currently in a public place, and flying is prohibited in Kaigu City. It is impossible for him to retaliate like he did at the Hexi Sect ruins, he can't turn the City Lord's Mansion of Kaigu City into an opponent.
If I could kill others with soul cards, or kill them with soul power...even if I can't kill them, I could at least make them suffer so much that they can't hide it.
Unfortunately, all I have is "Hammer Soul," I don't have the technique that allows me to attack others with soul power from a distance... Why do I have to rely on what others have already created?
There is "Starry Sky" and "Hammer Soul", I can refer to these two martial arts and create a set of martial arts like that... If it's not possible, I have to try!
The Jiaoshan Sect disciples and the Fan family descendants who were chatting didn't know that during their conversation, Qin Mian had the idea of creating his own martial art.
The three killer assassins of the Dark Flower Tower, hanging in the air, were unaware that their appearance quickly led Qin Mian to create a set of Soul Power attack techniques, not only making the assassins unable to hide, but also causing their opponents to lose their combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
Qin Mian and others quickly arrived at a hill outside the West City. It was a barren land.
This place was originally nameless, but since Kaigu City set up a life and death arena here specifically for resolving deadly feuds, this hill has become famous and is called the Mountain of Life and Death.
With the increase in life and death battles, some of the residents who used to live here gradually discovered that the resentment and evil spirits here were becoming more and more intense. Trees withered and died, and grass became extinct. They all moved away from this place.
The life and death platform is located on top of a small mountain and is a platform protected by an advanced formation, covering an area of ​​almost five thousand square meters. When entering the life and death platform, only one person can come out, without exception, unless there is a token.
Qin Mian looked at Song Wang and said, "Are you sure you want to challenge me? Let me tell you, challenges can be deadly."
Jia Song immediately jumped out and shouted, "Qin Mian, don't you think it's too late to back out now? If you're afraid of death, then kneel down and apologize to Senior Brother Song Wang!"
Just as the last word was uttered, he saw Qin Mian suddenly move. Song Wang beside him rushed towards him, shouting "Stop!"
Before he could react, he only felt a blur in front of his eyes, followed by a violent impact on his body. A salty and bloody liquid surged up in his throat, and he began to soar through the clouds, even faster than flying himself.
