Qin Chuan wasn't too worried about the assassination attempt. He knew too much about assassination techniques, and his Golden Divine Eyes were almost a complete counter to his opponent.
"Madam, can you see the person approaching from the direction of the sunset?" Qin Chuan asked, noticing that Yu Qing didn't seem to have noticed the person approaching her.
Yu Qing shook her head.
Qin Chuan was surprised. He knew Yu Qing was incredibly strong; she had always been someone he could never hope to match.
This powerful and beautiful woman, now that his strength had increased dramatically, he could finally sense some of her power.
The opponent's concealment ability was truly remarkable, able to deceive Yu Qing's senses and eyes. This concealment was at the Grandmaster level.
This Grandmaster wasn't about strength; it was a title of respect for profound mastery of concealment.
"Come here, Madam, let me hug you!" Qin Chuan smiled and opened his arms.
Yu Qing rolled her eyes at Qin Chuan, but she still nestled in his arms. She knew there must be a reason for Qin Chuan's actions.
Qin Chuan smiled and hugged Yu Qing, then suddenly lunged forward, accompanied by a soft cracking sound.
Bang!
A cloud of blood mist filled the air as Qin Chuan instantly killed his target with a Nine Palaces Step and the Vajra Dragon Claw, leaving the opponent no time to react.
This person possessed exceptional stealth abilities, but his strength hadn't reached the Void Realm; he was still at the Heavenly Venerable Realm, albeit a half-step into the Void Realm.
Unfortunately, those below the Void Realm were simply annihilated by Qin Chuan, utterly powerless to resist. His strength lay in his concealment, but under the Golden Divine Eye, it was completely ineffective.
It could be said that this person died without understanding why he was discovered; he was too confident in his stealth abilities.
This is often the case; people often die because of their own strengths, their overconfidence leading to arrogance and carelessness, resulting in many unexpected setbacks.
More and more attackers gathered, many of them actually quite weak, but they came to contribute their life force, making the blood mist even denser.
This was a Blood Mist Array; the more blood, the stronger the array, and the stronger the true assassin hidden within.
Qin Chuan now held a Dragon-Slaying Dagger, one he had kept from the past. In truth, Qin Chuan felt he could also pursue the path of an assassin.
He had no interest in this particular method, but despite that, his understanding of it was no less than theirs. Coupled with his unparalleled speed, sharp eyesight, and ability to spot weaknesses,
Qin Chuan was better than them at achieving a single, fatal blow .
Yu Qing remained calm in this killing field, her arms around Qin Chuan's neck, her feet lightly resting on his, her eyes slightly closed, oblivious to everything around her.
She didn't dislike his faint masculine scent. While she wasn't particularly fastidious or averse to men, she hadn't considered giving herself to any man over the years, nor had she met one who could win her heart.
Initially, she hadn't felt anything for Qin Chuan. Good looks and a handsome appearance—she'd seen countless men with those qualities.
But Qin Chuan, shameless yet perfectly measured in his actions, unafraid of embarrassment, was the first man she'd ever met.
Many she'd encountered before were either timid and subservient or feigned gentlemanly manners, given her previous high status.
Only Qin Chuan made her feel real, and most importantly, it was his personality that mattered to her, even more than his looks or temperament.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Qin Chuan felt Yu Qing tighten her grip on his neck, pressing her body closer to him.
Amidst the raging waves of blood around them, Qin Chuan felt that no matter how strong she was, she was still a woman, well, a girl. Having ability didn't mean she wasn't afraid.
Yu Qing smiled, not opening her eyes: "I'm not afraid, it just feels good. No wonder women all seek men."
Qin Chuan felt like black lines were forming on his brow…
"You don't know how good men are yet, or I'll show you later." Qin Chuan said expectantly.
"No, this is fine." Yu Qing said lazily, a smile playing on her lips.
Looking at Yu Qing nestled peacefully in his arms, even he felt a little uncomfortable in this sea of blood. The terror of this formation wasn't just its power, but also its terrifying spectacle. Anyone in such an environment would be affected.
It was terrifying, with a sense of apocalypse. The sea of blood was everywhere, littered with severed limbs and mutilated bodies. Although it was an illusion, an amplified version, it still affected the mind.
Break!
Qin Chuan broke the formation directly. The sea of blood and mountain of corpses disappeared, leaving only the city walls, but the surrounding area was covered in blood; many had already died.
Some nearby were still attacking, looking for an opportunity, but Qin Chuan was giving them no chance.
Several magical beasts and the dragon baby attacked, and in an instant, these people fell one after another, clutching their chests or necks, dying unwillingly.
The leader, a thin man in black, paled and prepared to flee, but at that moment, the dragon baby's figure flashed a golden halo.
The thin man slowly fell, a hole in his chest. The dragon baby had already returned, not a drop of blood on it, clinging to Qin Chuan, going to compete with Yu Qing for position.
Yu Qing looked at the dragon baby with amusement. She didn't know how terrifying this little thing was; she felt she was no match for it, and she didn't even know what kind of being it was.
It was cute, beautiful, and not dangerous at all, yet incredibly powerful and highly intelligent, like a child, and very attached to Qin Chuan.
None of those who came survived. Qin Chuan wasn't interested in knowing who they were; with his current strength, he feared no one. Below the God of War, no one could defeat him.
Even those below the God of War would find it difficult to beat him, as long as they had the heaven-defying Dragon Baby.
Once Qin Chuan reached the Void Realm, he could walk sideways among those below the God of War.
The battle ended quickly. The Northern King and the others arrived, and Yu Qing opened her eyes to see a group of people watching her holding Qin Chuan…
She had been too relaxed with her eyes closed. Looking up at Qin Chuan, seeing those playful eyes, her face flushed, and she hurriedly pushed Qin Chuan away.
"Are you injured?"
The Northern King visibly relaxed. Although Qin Chuan was powerful, assassination was unique; it allowed the weak to defeat the strong, and it was difficult to defend against.
"I'm fine," Qin Chuan smiled.
"Brother, well done!" Niu Ben said happily.
"The Bloodthirsty Assassination Squad has been mobilized; it seems they're desperate." The Northern King said, looking at the corpses on the ground with a slightly complicated expression.
