Seeing Xue Ying at this moment, Qin Hanchu thought of an ancient exotic beast.
Although the Azure-Eyed Divine Eagle was not the strongest among ancient exotic beasts, it ranked quite high.
He never expected Xue Ying to possess a trace of its bloodline.
"Has your strength increased?" Qin Hanchu asked.
Xue Ying nodded excitedly, "My strength has multiplied several times."
"That's good!"
The stronger Xue Ying became, the stronger Qin Hanchu's foundation would be.
There had been no special movements from the Dual Pole Sect during this period.
Qin Hanchu was also happy to have some leisure.
Besides cultivation, he began to frequent Flame Peak.
Qin Hanchu went to Flame Peak not to find Hong Luan, but to comprehend the mysteries of ice and fire fusion.
During this time, Qin Hanchu attempted to absorb the power of wood and fire at the junction of the valley and Flame Peak.
As soon as these two forces entered Qin Hanchu's body, they began to collide with his ice element power.
Even with the mediation of wood element power, they still could not merge.
One day, Qin Hanchu was once again comprehending the way three elements interact in the valley.
At this moment, a young man flew over.
"Junior Brother Qin, the sect has a mission for you."
Qin Hanchu asked in confusion, "What is it?"
"This is the mission bamboo slip from the Deacon Pavilion. The content and rewards are all on it."
Saying that, the young man handed a bamboo slip to Qin Hanchu.
"Send me to be a scout?" After reading the bamboo slip, Qin Hanchu frowned slightly.
"With the Spirit King realm Xue Ying protecting you, you are the best candidate for this mission."
"If you obtain useful information, the sect will not treat you unfairly."
After the young man from the Deacon Pavilion finished speaking, he left.
Although Qin Hanchu did not want to go, he had no choice.
Missions assigned by the Deacon Pavilion could not be refused.
Unless Qin Hanchu intended to flee.
Putting away the bamboo slip, Qin Hanchu flew away from the sect.
This mission was to gather intelligence on Myriad Beast Mountain, and such scout missions could only be undertaken alone.
Three hours later, Qin Hanchu had already left the territory of the Dual Pole Sect's stronghold.
Just then, three figures appeared in the distance.
Seeing these three people, Qin Hanchu realized that this mission was a trap.
"Junior Brother Qin, are you going out on a mission?" Wang Yi, accompanied by two Spirit King realm experts, blocked Qin Hanchu's path.
"They were waiting for me?"
"It seems this mission was arranged by Senior Brother Wang."
Wang Yi laughed heartily, "Junior Brother Qin is very smart, you guessed it right away."
"Let's dispense with the pleasantries, state your purpose." Qin Hanchu said in a deep voice.
Wang Yi sneered triumphantly, "I'll give you fifty purple cards to sell Xue Ying to me."
"Fifty purple cards to buy a Spirit King realm spirit beast?"
"Was your brain squeezed through a door?"
Qin Hanchu knew it would be difficult to resolve this peacefully today, so there was no need to pretend any longer.
"You dare to insult me?"
"Do you want to die?"
Wang Yi gritted his teeth, Qin Hanchu's tone made him extremely enraged.
"It's not too late to scram now, otherwise you'll be the one to die."
Qin Hanchu had originally wanted to further study the profound meaning of ice and fire fusion, but now he could only terminate this matter in advance.
"A Spirit King realm spirit beast makes you this arrogant?"
"You probably don't know the strength of these two by my side!"
"If you don't hand over Xue Ying, today will be the day of your demise."
Wang Yi's killing intent was unconcealed.
"Then kill!"
As the words fell, Qin Hanchu directly summoned Xue Ying.
Xue Ying and Qin Hanchu were telepathically connected, naturally understanding Qin Hanchu's thoughts.
As soon as it appeared, it charged towards the two Spirit Kings.
"Bloodline spirit beast!"
"It actually awakened its bloodline!"
Wang Yi and the other two were extremely shocked.
They never expected Qin Hanchu's luck to be so good.
After using several Scarlet Spirit Flowers, they had managed to awaken Xue Ying's bloodline.
While they were in shock, Xue Ying's attack had already come rushing.
Facing Xue Ying, who had awakened its bloodline, these two Spirit King realm disciples did not dare to be careless. They quickly drew their spirit weapons and engaged Xue Ying in battle.
Although these two had reached the Spirit King realm, they did not have any strong backgrounds, hence they did not possess spirit artifacts yet.
If they had spirit artifacts, they could have at least sparred with the bloodline-awakened Xue Ying for a while.
However, without spirit artifacts, they were completely suppressed by Xue Ying.
Xue Ying's strength was first tempered by the Ice Spirit Jade, and later it underwent bloodline awakening.
It could be said that Xue Ying's combat power was stronger than ordinary bloodline spirit beasts.
"Senior Brother Wang, we shouldn't be idle either!"
Since he had already made a move to kill, Qin Hanchu naturally would not hold back anymore.
With the Cold Cicada Sword in hand, Qin Hanchu instantly charged towards Wang Yi.
"You still want to kill me?"
Wang Yi roared and engaged Qin Hanchu in battle.
The two moved extremely fast, and streaks of light collided and separated rapidly.
Wang Yi had expected to suppress Qin Hanchu, but he never imagined Qin Hanchu's strength to be so formidable.
At the same realm, his attacks were far less powerful than Qin Hanchu's.
"How can you be so strong?" Wang Yi questioned in shock.
Qin Hanchu did not reply; he simply attacked with all his might.
Under Qin Hanchu's pressure, Wang Yi chose to summon his War God spirit beast to assist him.
However, Xue Ying had already noticed Wang Yi's action.
Just as Wang Yi was summoning his spirit beast, an ice arrow from Xue Ying shot towards him.
Wang Yi's spirit beast, just as it emerged from the beast ring, was pierced through the heart by an arrow from the Spirit King realm Xue Ying.
With a scream, Wang Yi's pathetic spirit beast died on the spot.
In front of Xue Ying, Wang Yi's War God spirit beast did not even have the qualification to resist.
"Qin Hanchu, you're dead!" Seeing his spirit beast killed, Wang Yi roared in anger.
Qin Hanchu did not reply; his attacks rained down on Wang Yi one after another.
As Qin Hanchu fought more fiercely, Wang Yi was completely suppressed.
At the same time, the two Spirit King realm martial artists were also beaten by Xue Ying, unable to fight back.
Fifteen minutes later, one of the Spirit King realm martial artists had his protective defenses torn apart by Xue Ying's claws.
Xue Ying's claw, like a sharp sword, pierced through the person's body.
The death of this person left Wang Yi and the other Spirit King realm martial artist pale with fear.
Qin Hanchu was truly willing to kill.
"Qin Hanchu, are you trying to betray the sect?" Wang Yi shouted in terror.
"Do you think I care about that?"
Qin Hanchu unleashed his Giant Sword Slash again, and the terrifying giant sword slashed towards Wang Yi.
Wang Yi quickly made a move, and a massive ice magic array appeared before him.
Following that, countless ice cones shot towards Qin Hanchu's giant sword.
The profound ice power of both sides continuously clashed.
In the end, Qin Hanchu's power proved to be superior.
Qin Hanchu's giant sword directly tore through the magic array before Wang Yi and then slashed towards Wang Yi.
Wang Yi's eyes widened in terror, and he roared in unwillingness.
"No!"
Boom!
Qin Hanchu's giant sword directly struck Wang Yi.
With an explosion, a sky full of red blood crystals rained down.
Wang Yi had completely departed from this world.
