Saint Nucleus was the currency of the Holy World.
It was the only measure of value in the Holy World. The Saint Nucleus contained a vast amount of energy that could be absorbed by cultivators. There were countless small planes under the Holy World, and countless people entered the Holy World every day. The strong preyed on the weak, and only the fittest survived. Many Saints who had just entered the Holy World were instantly killed.
Apart from almighty Saints who could drop Saint Cores, there were also all sorts of Ferocious Beasts. However, Saint Realm Ferocious Beasts were extremely powerful. Ordinary people would not even think of hunting Ferocious Beasts for their Crystal Cores. Compared to killing people, hunting Ferocious Beasts was much more difficult.
The Holy World was a world of slaughter, extremely cruel.
Ten billion Saint Nucleus was an extremely large number, enough to move anyone, even Immortal Venerables.
"Ten billion Saint Nucleus?"
Meng Qi Yan 'er laughed at herself and said lightly, "I didn't think my life was only worth ten billion Saint Nucleus. Dark God Meng Qi is too stingy."
Ten billion Saint Nucleus was too little?
It was unimaginable, enough to buy a large metallic lifeform. Ten billion Saint Nucleus was enough for an ordinary low-level Saint to break through to the Immortal Realm. This number was too large, but from Meng Qi Yan 'er's mouth, it seemed so insignificant.
Jiang Yan was startled in her heart. She stared blankly for a moment before lightly walking forward and saying, "Indeed, to you, ten billion saint cores isn't much. But to me, it's enough for me to do anything, so your life is very important to me."
"No, it is very important."
Jiang Yan corrected herself. As long as she had ten billion Saint Nucleus, breaking through to the Immortal Realm within a hundred years would be a piece of cake.
"What if I offer twenty billion?"
It could be seen that Meng Qi Yan 'er had no concept of ten billion Saint Nucleus, and did not care about it at all. However, she knew that ten billion Saint Nucleus was a number that Jiang Yan could not refuse. This number was too tempting.
So tempting that she could do anything for it.
"Twenty billion?"
The smile on Jiang Yan's face became even wider, with a hint of disdain. She took two more steps forward, paused, and said, "A month ago, if you had offered me twenty billion, I might have wavered. Although I'm an assassin, I'm not inflexible. I'll work for whoever offers the highest price. The price you offered is indeed very tempting, but you can't afford it."
"I cannot afford it now, but it does not mean that I cannot afford it in the future. When I reach Kunlun City …"
"Hahaha …"
Before Meng Qi Yan 'er could finish, Jiang Yan laughed. Looking at the delicate face under the black veil, Jiang Yan shook her head gently and said, "You'll never get to Kunlun City."
"So, you can't take out twenty billion Saint Cores."
Meng Qi Yan 'er was slightly surprised and frowned slightly.
A month ago, she sneaked back to the Kunlun Continent from the Lie Sky Continent. She thought that as long as she returned to the Kunlun City, she would be able to take back everything that belonged to her. At that time, Dark God Meng Qi's doomsday would come. However, from Jiang Yan's words, she suddenly felt a sense of fear.
That kind of fear had been growing in her heart for a month, but she hadn't felt it because of Second Uncle's protection along the way. In fact, over the past month, that kind of fear had been growing in her heart, so much so that it now completely occupied Meng Qi Yan 'er's mind.
Fear.
It was just fear. As the only daughter of the leader of the Monchi Merchant Alliance, fear was extremely normal for her.
Meng Qi Yan 'er still wanted to say something, but she could not find any reason to convince Jiang Yan. As an assassin who worked for money, the greatest temptation was nothing more than more money. However, just as Jiang Yan had said, if she could not return to Kunlun City, she would be a pauper. Let alone twenty billion Saint Cores, she could not even take out two Saint Cores.
"Alright, hand over the Monchi Emblem."
Jiang Yan's aura suddenly changed, locking onto Meng Qi Yan 'er firmly. She could not allow anything to happen to her.
Meng Qi Yan 'er frowned, and her face paled slightly. She said firmly, "If you want me to hand over the emblem, you'll have to die."
The Monchi Emblem was the tablet that controlled the highest authority in the Monchi Merchant Alliance. Obtaining it was equivalent to obtaining the entire merchant alliance. The Monchi Merchant Alliance was the largest merchant alliance in the entire Saints' World. It basically covered every corner of the Saints' World. As long as there were people, there would be business from the Monchi Merchant Alliance.
"Hmph."
Jiang Yan snorted coldly and said with a faint smile, "In that case, I'll tell you the truth. It's the same whether you hand it over or not. Although the Monchi Emblem is the tablet that controlled the Merchant Alliance, as long as you die, the so-called emblem is just a piece of scrap iron. Since you're unwilling to hand it over, I won't force you. Now, you can die."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yan's sword suddenly struck out.
Under the night sky, a cold light suddenly appeared.
The surroundings were even more murderous. The low-level Ominous Beasts growled and trembled, not daring to approach.
Jiang Yan's cultivation was not strong.
However, for Meng Qi Yan 'er, she was like a super expert. Her mind was completely suppressed and she couldn't even move her spiritual sea. She didn't even have the chance to bring out her protective magic treasures. Of course, all of this was within Jiang Yan's calculations.
Mount Jiuhua was uninhabited, and no one could save her.
At this moment, although Meng Qi Yan 'er was unwilling, she seemed to have lost all hope.
No one could save her.
Is this my fate?!
Her heart sank, and she closed her eyes slightly, waiting for the end of her fate.
Jiang Yan smiled faintly. She had killed countless people, but she had never met someone like Meng Qi Yan 'er. Knowing that she was no match for her, she did not resist at all. She felt that it would be great if all her targets in the future were like her.
"Since you're so obedient, I'll leave your body intact."
The voice was very light, but it pierced Meng Qi Yan 'er's heart like a sharp arrow.
"Whoosh …"
The long sword in Jiang Yan's hand turned illusory in the air, piercing through the void. The strong power of a Saint was fixed on it, and it directly chopped down on Meng Qi Yan 'er's spiritual sea of consciousness.
The sword was not fast, but it was very powerful.
"Hum!!!"
"Clang!"
The long sword stopped half a centimeter away from Meng Qi Yan 'er's forehead!
Meng Qi Yan 'er's eyes moved, but she did not feel the slightest pain. She only felt a breeze on her forehead, and then nothing else. She opened her eyes curiously and looked at the long sword that was only half a centimeter away from her. She was stunned, and she asked stupidly, "Am I dead?"
"No."
"But if you don't leave now, I can't guarantee that you won't die in the next second."
The voice was very familiar, so familiar that Meng Qi Yan 'er immediately remembered who it was. A few hours ago, she cursed and cursed Qin Tian, who could not wait to send him to hell. Qin Tian could not help but raise his head and see a broadsword blocking the tip of the sword. The wind raged and the broadsword trembled.
As Qin Tian said, if she did not leave, she would really die under the long sword.
Immediately.
Meng Qi Yan 'er did not care about anything and directly rolled away on the ground. Her expression changed slightly, and she said, "Smelly rogue, why are you back?"
"Why are you back?!"
Jiang Yan's face sank, and her killing intent became stronger.
Along the way, she did not dare to be careless, and her spiritual sea of consciousness never relaxed. She did not know why Qin Tian suddenly appeared.
"I never left."
Qin Tian's arms loosened, and the dragon saber took advantage of the situation. The long sword slashed down heavily, and a deep crack appeared on the ground. However, he had already left and landed on a treetop. His eyes were locked onto Jiang Yan, and he said lightly: "I've been waiting for you to reveal your fox tail. I didn't expect you to be so patient. You actually went thousands of kilometers deep before revealing yourself. If it were me, I would have made a move long ago."
"Impossible."
"I clearly sensed you leaving …"
Suddenly.
Jiang Yan's expression changed again. He looked at Qin Tian and said, "How could it be? Why don't you have any aura at all? Why can't I feel your aura? Impossible, you are just a low-rank saint, how can you escape the senses of a middle-rank saint?"
"Hehe."
"It's just a middle-rank saint, not the immortal realm. It's easy to avoid your senses."
Qin Tian said very casually.
The law of aura had already reached the third level, and with the power of a powerful saint, there was no problem at all in avoiding the senses of a middle-rank saint. Jiang Yan sensed that the aura he left was just a Raging Fire Lizard, but the lizard had fused with his aura.
Using the law of aura to hide his aura, he followed all the way. He did not expect Jiang Yan to be so cautious.
"If that's the case …"
"Then let's die together!"
Jiang Yan frowned, and the long sword suddenly changed, revealing mysterious runes. The runes glowed brightly, and the power increased by more than ten times. Just now, Qin Tian was almost unable to resist her sword. Now that the power of the long sword had increased by more than ten times, he believed that he could be killed easily.
As long as Qin Tian died, killing Meng Qi Yan 'er would be easier than killing an ant.
"The power of runes?!"
Qin Tian smiled lightly and said, "There's no need to go through so much trouble. You're already dead."
"Weng!"
A strong buzzing sound was deafening.
The sky suddenly exploded, and Qin Tian instantly transformed into a giant sword, unstoppable, and slashed down.
"Peng!"
"Ding."
"Congratulations to player 'Qin Tian' for killing 'Jiang Yan' for 190000000 experience, 430000 Qigong value, 24000 survival value …"
"Congratulations to player 'Qin Tian' for obtaining three sacred cores …"
… …
It was an instant kill. It was a magnificent and incomparably sharp sword.
Under the black veil of the cloak, Meng Qi Yan 'er's mouth opened so wide that an egg could be put in it. Her eyes stared at Qin Tian motionlessly. She stood there stupidly, unable to believe everything in front of her.
A middle saint was killed in one sword.
It was a complete instant kill. Moreover, Qin Tian seemed to be very relaxed, as relaxed as crushing an ant to death.
Is this what a low-level saint can do?
Qin Tian returned to his real body and put away the dragon blade. He glanced at Meng Qi Yan 'er, who was still in a daze, and said, "I've paid off what I owe him. Take care, I'm leaving."
"Uh!"
"I didn't lie to you this time."
Hearing that Qin Tian was going to leave, Meng Qi Yan 'er was immediately shocked. She quickly walked to Qin Tian's side and said, "Where are you going?"
"To pay off the debt."
Chen Yi and the other eight brothers would definitely encounter danger if they followed the original path. Qin Tian owed them, so he must pay them back.
"That …"
Meng Qi Yan 'er fiddled with the corner of her clothes and said gently, "Can you take me with you?"
