Chapter 58: Great Completion of Body Refining
As the two assassins died, Qin Lang also spat out a mouthful of blood, stumbling backwards and relying on the surrounding wall to barely stand up.
Meanwhile, the commotion on this side also made Mo Yan and that thin black shadow entwined together suddenly aware of it. Both were greatly shocked.
"Damn it, what kind of person is this? Absolutely impossible for a small success in the Refining Body stage to have such strength." The thin black shadow cursed loudly, and the three subordinates who followed him were actually all killed, while his own task was not yet completed, which also made him somewhat annoyed.
"Hmph, don't tell me you really think he's just a small success in the Refining Body stage? We've long expected you to come, do you think we wouldn't make any preparations at all?" Mo Yan was indeed surprised that Qin Cang could directly kill two full-circle Refining Body assassins, but she remained extremely calm and quickly came up with a countermeasure. The details of Qin Cang's background absolutely cannot be known by these people.
"Despicable." The thin, small black figure was indeed deceived. He really thought that Qin Lang was a master who had been hiding his strength, otherwise it would not have been possible to take down three of his subordinates so quickly. Now, he was facing two enemies alone, with his back against the wall. If he wasn't careful, he might end up dying here too.
"This place is not suitable for a long stay." The thin and small black shadow thought to himself, harboring the intention to leave. Mo Yan also didn't have the intention of keeping this person around, as his strength was similar to her own, and continuing to fight would likely result in a mutually destructive outcome. Meanwhile, Qin Cang's side seemed somewhat off as well.
If Qin Lang easily defeated the two assassins, he would have come to support himself quickly, but now he has not arrived for a long time, which means that Qin Lang must have paid a certain price.
One wanted to leave, one wouldn't stay, after several exchanges of blows, the small black figure took advantage of the opportunity to slip away, and in a flash, it had escaped from the battlefield.
"Mo Yan, this time you're lucky, next time, you'd better be careful." The thin black figure left after saying that.
"Hmph, next time you come, don't think about leaving." Mo Yan also coldly shouted, with her long spear on her back, she stepped into the void and flew towards Qin Cang.
As she approached Qin Lang, the bloody scene in front of her made Mo Yan, who had been through many battles, feel a wave of nausea in her stomach. She saw a mess of flesh and blood scattered all over the ground, with two heads lying not far from Qin Lang, their faces twisted in extreme agony, as if telling the story of the terror and suffering they had endured in life.
Qin Lang's chest was stained with a patch of crimson, and there were still bloodstains at the corner of his mouth. He was leaning against the wall, panting heavily.
"Qin Lang, are you alright?" Mo Yan didn't care about the blood on Qin Lang's body and rushed up to him in one swift motion, supporting him.
"Cough, it's nothing, just a bit weak, rest for a while and I'll be fine." Qin Lang waved his hand, not even looking at the pool of blood on the ground. It wasn't that he was calm, but rather he himself didn't dare to look directly at the bright red mess.
This is Qin Lang's first time killing someone.
"What's wrong with you, working so hard?!" Mo Yan looked at Qin Cang, who was pretending to be calm, and felt a strange sense of emotion rising up inside her.
"I've said it before, if there's a situation, I'll protect you." Qin Lang wiped the bloodstain from his mouth and waved his hand, not allowing Mo Yan to support him.
"You're something else!" Looking at Qin Heng, whose mouth still had a hint of blood on it, Mo Yan suddenly felt a pang of sympathy. If it weren't for Qin Heng today, she would have been surrounded by those black-clad men. A Condensed Spirit stage expert with abilities similar to her own, plus three Broken Body stage assassins, would have definitely given her quite some trouble. And yet, this man in front of her, who was only at the Refining Body stage, had stood up for her and become her protector.
"Next time, I'll protect you." Mo Yan said in a low voice.
"No more, no more, never again." Qin Lang hurriedly waved his hand, as if he had regained some of his energy, and smiled at Mo Yan.
"This place is not safe, we must leave here immediately." Qin said, looking around.
"En, you're right." Mo Yan also nodded in agreement.
"Wait a minute," Qin Lang lowered his head and thought for a moment before raising it with a smile, "Perhaps the most dangerous place is also the safest place."
In the blink of an eye, that slender figure returned once more, accompanied by two other black-clad individuals. Judging from their auras, they were also two condensed spirit stage experts.
"How detestable! Those two have already escaped." The slender figure cursed in anger.
"Hmph, if it weren't for your underestimation, you would have come alone and wouldn't have ended up like this. If you had called us two earlier, we might have already taken down Mo Yan by now. Now, let's see how you explain this to the master." Another black-clad man coldly snorted and said with a hint of reproach in his tone.
"Hmph, it's no use talking about this now. The priority is to catch those two, and we must capture Mo Yan no matter what." The thin black figure's tone also had a hint of anxiety, clearly showing great apprehension towards the master mentioned by the other black-clad person.
"Mo Yu Yun is still within the city walls, Mo Yan must not be too far away. Even if we have to dig three feet underground, we must dig out Mo Yan. Otherwise, we will miss our master's important matter and we will be in trouble."
"We disperse and search, whoever finds them first, hold them down at once, support will arrive immediately."
"Alright, let's do it this way, don't alert too many people."
"Go!"
The three of them briefly discussed and then dispersed to search for Mo Yan and Qin Cang.
Not long after the three thin black shadows dispersed, two figures cautiously appeared in the courtyard, who were Qin Lang and Mo Yan.
"What you said is really true, they have returned. But you are also very bold, if we were discovered by them, it would be dangerous." Mo Yan looked up at the dark night sky and said with admiration.
"Hmph, this kind of trick, I've played it countless times already. Don't worry, they shouldn't be coming back here." Qin Lang coldly hummed.
"Hmm, are you okay with your injury?" Mo Yan asked worriedly.
"It's nothing serious, just a bit overdrawn. A night's rest and I'll be fine." Temporarily out of danger, Qin Lin also checked his body and found that only his vitality had been consumed, but his body was not injured.
"That's good, then I'll help you back to your room to rest." Mo Yan wanted to go forward and support Qin Huan, but was waved away by Qin Huan.
"They all said I was fine, no need to support me, making it seem like I'm seriously injured." He then walked towards the room, now Qin Cang urgently needed to absorb some heavenly energy to recover his nearly collapsed body.
"Alright, alright, I won't help you." Mo Yan smiled and followed Qin Cang into the room.
"By the way, how did you manage to do it?" Mo Yan asked.
"How did you manage that?" Qin Lang sat down on the bed, looking at Mo Yan.
"How could you kill three Nascent Soul assassins? Are you really just a Foundation Establishment cultivator?" Mo Yan asked, sizing Qin Lin up and down in confusion.
"You didn't say that I'm a pervert, did you? What can't a pervert do?" Qin Lang glanced at Mo Yan, clearly not wanting to say more about this matter.
Mo Yan was about to say something, but saw that Qin Lang had already closed his eyes, and his breathing was also gradually slowing down with a frequency. She knew that Qin Lang was starting to repair the injuries inside his body.
As soon as she thought of Qin Lang absorbing the heavenly and earthly aura, Mo Yan still had a lingering fear, so she didn't linger and got up to leave Qin Lang's room, but she didn't go far. Qin Lang was recuperating, and she naturally wanted to guard him.
As Mo Yan left, Qin Lin also calmed down, concentrated his mind and energy, and a layer of golden light flashed on the surface of his body. The heavenly energy around him continuously gathered towards Qin Lin's body, all of which was absorbed into his body.
As the heavenly and earthly primal energy was absorbed into his body, Qin Lin discovered that the meridians within him had actually expanded a bit. The golden primal energy circulated through his limbs and returned to the Dan Tian in a shorter time than before.
"Could it be that the battle has slightly increased his strength?" Qin Lang's mind secretly thought, without stopping the absorption of the origin energy, but instead further stimulating his mind, and the speed of absorption also accelerated a bit. On the surface of his body, golden whirlpools formed one after another, with thick and rich heaven and earth origin energy that was almost substantialized, all being absorbed into Qin Lang's body.
It wasn't until an hour later that Qin Lang gradually slowed down his absorption speed.
"Ah!"
A mouthful of turbid air was exhaled from Qin Huan's mouth, and as the turbid air dissipated, the golden light on Qin Huan's body surface converged completely. However, Qin Huan's aura had risen by a great deal compared to before.
Sensing the movement inside, Mo Yan pushed open the door and walked in, seeing Qin Cang sitting on the bed with his eyes just opened, and exclaimed in shock.
"This aura, you've actually broken through again?"
"Hehe, just lucky, this time it wasn't during sleep that I broke through." Qin Lang got up from the bed and stood up.
"This is unbelievable, how long has it been since your last breakthrough? Just a few months and you've already broken through again? What kind of world is this? How did breaking through become so easy?" Mo Yan patted her forehead, saying incredulously, but her eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
"It's just that I've only reached the Great Completion of Body Refining, and there's still a huge gap between my strength and yours. I don't know when I'll be able to catch up with you."
"Hmph, want to catch up with me? Cultivate for another ten years then." Mo Yan gave Qin Guang a cold glance. She had been cultivating since childhood, relying on her own talent and hard work, and it wasn't until she had spent nearly twenty years that she had achieved her current strength. As for Qin Guang, after getting to know his background, she knew that he had only cultivated for less than half a year. Starting late and from a low point, wanting to catch up with her was almost impossible.
However, Mo Yan had a strange feeling, as if for the man in front of her, nothing was impossible. Perhaps at some point, Qin Cang would surpass himself.
Mo Yan didn't know that this feeling of hers would soon become a reality.
