Long Yu could not help but frown when he heard Junior Sister Qin's words.
Snatch the Soaring Serpent King's inner core?
Help her snatch it back?
This Junior Sister Qin was simply laughable. If not for Long Yu, the Soaring Serpent King would have long since killed her. How could she have the chance to point fingers here?
Not only did she ignore the debt of saving her life, she even asked someone to help her snatch the inner core from Long Yu's hands!
"Does she intend to bite the hand that feeds her?"
Long Yu thought to himself as he carefully observed Junior Sister Qin and the black-clothed youth. Only then did he feel that the two of them were somewhat familiar.
Connecting the dots, Long Yu quickly came to a realisation.
Jade Pass City, Qin Family.
It was Qin Rong 'er and Qin Tianque. Both siblings had joined the Zhentian Clan. Qin Tianque seemed to be in his early twenties, but he had already reached the seventh stage of the Martial Path.
At the seventh stage of the Martial Path, he could release his Xuan Qi. In terms of battle strength, Long Yu, who was only at the fifth stage of the Martial Path, was definitely not his match.
However, if Long Yu had the time to absorb the Soaring Serpent King's inner core and step into the sixth stage of the Martial Path, then he might have a chance …
The black-clothed youth, Qin Tianque, glanced at Long Yu with arrogance in his eyes and said lightly, "I am an inner disciple of the Zhentian Clan, Qin Tianque. If you know what's good for you, hand over the Soaring Serpent King's inner core and you will be spared physical pain. "
"What a joke. The Soaring Serpent King was killed by me, and I even saved your sister's life. What right do you have to make me hand over the inner core?"
Long Yu laughed disdainfully.
"Hahaha! What a joke! "
Qin Tianque laughed heartily, "You're just a kid at the fifth stage of the Martial Path. How could you kill the Soaring Serpent King, whose strength is comparable to the seventh stage of the Martial Path? You clearly used despicable means to snatch the inner core from my sister's hands! "
Hearing the other party's indiscriminate words, Long Yu's heart turned cold.
He looked at Junior Sister Qin, but Qin Rong'er was not moved at all. Her beautiful eyes were completely focused on the Inner Elixir of the Soaring Serpent King.
If she could obtain the core, she would be able to step into the sixth stage of the Martial Path and enter the Imperial Ginseng Forest in half a month!
She would never let go of such an opportunity. Even if she had to bite the hand that fed her, she wouldn't hesitate. Moreover, there was no one else in the vicinity. No one would know what her brother and sister had done!
Therefore, there was no guilt or uneasiness in her eyes. There was only greed and anticipation.
"Rong 'er, don't worry. I will retrieve the Inner Core of the Soaring Serpent King for you."
Qin Tianque looked at Qin Rong'er dotingly, then turned his head to look at Long Yu. His eyes flashed with a hint of mockery as he said, "So, do you want me to do it myself?"
"There's no need to trouble senior brother. I'll leave this Soaring Serpent King Inner Core to you."
Long Yu said calmly. He then raised his hand and was about to throw the Inner Elixir in the direction of Qin Tianque.
"At least you know what's good for you."
Qin Rong'er raised her chin proudly, as if she could foresee the scene of Long Yu throwing the Inner Elixir and then being killed by her brother. Naturally, they wouldn't let Long Yu have the chance to spread the news!
However, the next moment, Long Yu raised his hand and threw it, but he didn't throw the Inner Elixir!
Instead, he threw out several vines covered in sharp thorns that wrapped around Qin Tianque. Meanwhile, he himself used Wind Flash Step, turned into a gust of wind, and turned around to run!
"You asked for it!"
Seeing that, Qin Tian Que's originally complacent face immediately turned cold. With a wave of his hand, a few cyan colored profound qi ripples condensed into wind blades, and in an instant, they swept out, cutting the thorny vines in midair.
Then, he moved his feet and used his movement technique, chasing after Long Yu!
"Brother, you must get the Inner Elixir back!"
Qin Rong'er shouted viciously.
"Rong'er, don't worry!"
Qin Tianque said as he operated his Celestial Qi and used his Peak realm movement technique. His running speed was faster than Long Yu's!
The movement technique he used was the Jade Gate City's Qin Family's middle-grade martial arts technique. Its effect was no worse than Wind Step. In just half an hour, the distance between the two of them shortened rapidly.
Originally, Long Yu took advantage of his unpreparedness to turn around and run away. But very soon, the distance between the two of them was less than ten feet.
Ten feet was the furthest distance that Qin Tianque could release his Celestial Qi!
"Dark Wind Break!"
Qin Tianque closed the distance and then waved his hand. The powerful green Celestial Qi ripples condensed into wind blades again and flew towards the direction that Long Yu escaped.
"Wind Step, flash!"
Just now, Long Yu had managed to stall for some time. He could finally use the Flash Wind Step's Flash Breath Step again.
Feeling Qin Tianque's Dark Wind Break approaching, he condensed his Celestial Qi and his body turned into a light wind. In a flash, he crossed ten feet away!
"Do you think you can run a second time with your Wind Step at the Mastery Realm?"
Qin Tianque sneered. His figure flashed and quickly caught up. After a moment, he once again condensed the Dark Wind Break and cut through the sky. In the darkness, he attacked Long Yu like a poisonous snake!
"Block it for me!"
Long Yu's figure flashed to the side and immediately hid behind a giant tree.
However, the Dark Wind Break was the Zhentian Clan's high-grade martial arts technique. Coupled with Qin Tianque's cultivation of the seventh level of the Martial Dao, a casual wind blade pierced through the giant tree and cut it apart!
Chi!
Long Yu's arm was cut and blood immediately flowed out. However, he did not make a sound and his running speed did not decrease.
"Let's see how long you can run."
Qin Tianque laughed mockingly. Like a cat playing with a mouse, he was playing with Long Yu.
In this gloomy Soaring Serpent Abyss, it was impossible for anyone to know what was happening here. Naturally, Qin Tianque wanted to destroy Long Yu's corpse.
However, the next moment, the smile on Qin Tianque's face suddenly froze.
"How is this possible, this kid actually …"
One of them chased and the other fled. Unknowingly, they had gone around in a circle and returned to the original position!
Qin Rong 'er's leg was seriously injured and it was difficult for her to move. At this time, she was still here with her back facing them. She did not expect that they would go around in a circle and come back.
Long Yu ran in front and a sneer appeared on his face.
"Rong 'er, be careful!"
Qin Tianque immediately shouted.
Qin Rong 'er was currently fantasizing that her brother would help her snatch the Inner Core back. How could she have expected Long Yu's plan?
Before she could react, Long Yu's body turned into a light wind and with a big stride, he came to Qin Rong 'er's side and grabbed her neck with one hand.
"Ah!"
Qin Rong 'er was shocked. Then, she felt a strong force on her neck, which made her feel suffocated and she could not even make a sound.
"Stop."
Long Yu grabbed Qin Rong 'er and turned around to threaten Qin Tianque.
"Let go of Rong 'er, or I will make you die a horrible death!"
Qin Tianque was dressed in black and could not be seen clearly in the dark forest. However, one could feel the expression on his face that he was gnashing his teeth.
Originally, he thought that victory was in his grasp, but now, Long Yu succeeded and used Qin Rong 'er as a hostage. It was really a miscalculation! One could imagine how much hatred Qin Tianque had in his heart.
"If you take another step forward, the first one to die a horrible death will be your sister."
Long Yu said coldly and tightened his grip. Suddenly, Qin Rong 'er felt suffocated and her beautiful eyes rolled up.
Even if she wanted to break free from Long Yu's restraint with all her strength, Long Yu had cultivated the Demon Subduing Tyrant Body. Compared to her at the same realm, his strength was much greater. At this moment, she was tightly restrained.
"Do you know what the punishment is for killing your fellow disciples?"
Qin Tianque's sinister voice came, but his footsteps really stopped.
He did not dare to joke around with his sister's life.
"Shouldn't I be asking you this?"
Long Yu smiled faintly. "Now, take a hundred steps back. Otherwise, you will see your sister fall in front of you!"
Qin Tianque hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still took a step and slowly retreated.
"Take a bigger step!"
Long Yu sneered. "Dillydallying, are you a woman?"
These words made Qin Tianque angry, but he could not resist at all. Instead, he could only retreat obediently.
"As long as I seize the opportunity, boy, you will die without a burial place!"
Qin Tianque thought viciously in his heart, and the distance between him and Long Yu gradually widened.
"Qin Tianque, you are an inner disciple, so you must have a Combat Weapon, right? Now, throw the Combat Weapon over, or you know the consequences. "
Long Yu continued to say calmly, threatening Qin Tianque with Qin Rong 'er's life.
"Boy, don't go too far. You also know that I am an inner disciple, and you are just an outer disciple. There is still a long time ahead!"
Qin Tianque's cold snort came from afar. Obviously, he was not willing to give in to Long Yu, so he began to threaten Long Yu instead.
"There is still a long time ahead? Why don't I think so? Where is the Combat Weapon? Hurry up and throw it over. "
Long Yu sneered and threatened again.
But this time, he did not get a response. Qin Tianque did not make any more sound, as if he had disappeared from the dark forest!
"It seems that in your brother's eyes, you are not as important as a Combat Weapon."
Long Yu said to Qin Rong 'er with a hint of disappointment in his words.
This sentence made Qin Rong 'er feel disappointed. Her brother, Qin Tianque, really did not care about her life and death for a Combat Weapon?
No, definitely not!
"You don't dare to kill me."
Qin Rong 'er calmed down and said with a light snort.
Her brother must know that this kid did not dare to kill her, so he did not throw the Combat Weapon over. After all, if Long Yu killed her in the Soaring Snake Abyss and the Zhentian Clan elders heard about it, he would definitely be severely punished, or even expelled from the sect!
"You still have some brains."
Long Yu smiled: "But, did your brother run back to the sect to complain?"
As he said this, he carefully observed the movements around him. In such a dark forest, the perception of the fifth level of the Martial Dao was used to the extreme, and he immediately noticed that Qin Tianque was quietly approaching from another direction.
"Want to sneak attack me?"
Long Yu sneered in his heart.
Perhaps Qin Tianque did not expect that Long Yu would be so calm and observe the surroundings! After all, Long Yu was at the fifth level of the Martial Dao, facing Qin Tianque, who was at the seventh level of the Martial Dao, his life was on the line. Under such circumstances, most people's hearts would beat faster and they would panic.
Then, Long Yu grabbed Qin Rong 'er's neck and began to slowly move.
