Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 296 Deputy Chief Qian

As night fell, the half-moon in the sky prevented the camp from being too dark. In addition, the demon hunters around them turned on their spotlights, and when those lights focused on Qin Xiaochuan, he felt as if he were in the center of a stage.

The salty sea breeze kept blowing on his face, but Qin Xiaochuan remained calm. His perception in his mental space was also maximized. In fact, Qin Xiaochuan was more advantageous in the dark because his perception in his mental space did not rely on sight at all.

"I didn't expect you to have some skill; it's beyond my expectations." A hint of surprise flashed across Chief Qian's face, clearly not expecting Qin Xiaochuan to be unharmed after his powerful blow.

Qin Xiaochuan smiled unmoved and said, "Is that so? But I don't think that's any kind of skill."

"You've got quite the nerve. I'll see just how strong you really are." Chief Qian roared and launched another attack. His speed was still extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of Qin Xiaochuan, and then his body transformed into several afterimages, launching dozens of attacks on Qin Xiaochuan at the same time.

Chief Qian's attacks were so fast that it was impossible to see the specific movements, but Qin Xiaochuan could clearly feel that his attacks were like a sharp blade, each attack could easily cut through iron, let alone a human body.

However, Qin Xiaochuan was prepared this time. When the opponent approached him, Qin Xiaochuan's mental energy was already concentrated on the opponent, which not only slowed down the opponent's speed, but also caused the opponent's movements to stop for more than ten milliseconds at the moment the opponent launched an attack. Qin Xiaochuan then used this slight pause to flash behind the opponent with a Wind Shadow Flash.

A bluish-white fire-elemental spiritual energy gathered on Qin Xiaochuan's fist, and he unleashed a powerful Flaming Fist towards the opponent's back. However, Chief Qian's reaction speed was extremely fast. Before Qin Xiaochuan's fist could land, a bluish-white spiritual energy rose from Chief Qian's back and transformed into a furry phantom. Qin Xiaochuan's fist then slammed into the phantom.

"Boom!" A huge energy collision sound resounded throughout the beach. Although the phantom blocked the Fiery Fist, Qin Xiaochuan's attack did not end. The Samadhi True Fire continued to attack Chief Qian's real body through the blue phantom.

Chief Qian had not expected Qin Xiaochuan's attack to have such strong penetrating power, but he remained calm. With a loud shout, cyan spiritual power emanated from his body once again, instantly enveloping him. The surging power finally isolated the attack of the Samadhi True Fire. At the same time, he quickly turned around and launched another attack on Qin Xiaochuan.

The two exchanged blows quickly before separating, but neither gained any advantage.

"You actually possess a domain skill? Could it be that your spiritual power has reached level 9?" Chief Qian's originally confident and indifferent eyes revealed a look of shock.

No wonder he was shocked. Although he had only exchanged a few simple blows with Qin Xiaochuan, he could clearly feel that both his speed and attack power had been significantly reduced. This ability was unique to domain skills, which usually required level 9 spiritual power to learn. However, there were very few people in the world who could reach level 9 spiritual power. He knew almost everyone, but judging from the strength displayed by the person in front of him, he was certain that this was the first time he had met him.

Could it be that in the past few years, another new person has broken through to level 9 of spiritual power? Chief Qian was very puzzled.

Chief Qian carefully examined Qin Xiaochuan. Although Qin Xiaochuan was wearing a demon hunter's combat suit and his face looked familiar, he could tell at a glance that Qin Xiaochuan was wearing a disguise mask.

"Why is it that even though you are so powerful, you dare not show your true face?" Chief Qian asked coldly.

Qin Xiaochuan remained unmoved by his provocation and said nonchalantly, "I just don't want to cause unnecessary trouble. Actually, I don't want to be enemies with demon hunters."

"I know who he is. His name is Qin Xiaochuan, and he's in cahoots with the vampires," someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

Qin Xiaochuan was taken aback. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lei Gang, who had argued with him in Kunlun Ruins. He had witnessed Qin Xiaochuan's battle with Leviathan and was familiar with Qin Xiaochuan's skills. He also knew that Qin Xiaochuan had always been associated with the Blood Witch, so he recognized Qin Xiaochuan's identity at a glance.

Qin Xiaochuan was furious about this, because once his identity was exposed, he would encounter a lot of trouble at school. Not only that, the demon hunter would also use him to find out about Han Kexin and Xiaoying, and their safety would be threatened. Thinking of this, Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but turn cold. A burst of mental energy struck Lei Gang's mind, and Lei Gang immediately knelt on the ground, showing a look of horror.

Chief Qian frowned as he looked at Qin Xiaochuan. As expected, he was a newcomer he had never heard of before. Judging from Qin Xiaochuan's performance just now, he already knew that Qin Xiaochuan probably had the ability to launch mental attacks.

"What is your purpose? Why do you want to save that blood witch?" Chief Qian asked coldly again.

"Since you already know my identity, I might as well be frank." Qin Xiaochuan quickly calculated in his mind. Since his identity had been exposed, he might as well take the opportunity to resolve the conflict between the Demon Hunter and the Blood Witch, so that at least the other party would not cause trouble for him and Han Kexin in the future. Even if he could not resolve it, he could buy some time so that Zhu Yihu could take the opportunity to leave the camp.

Qin Xiaochuan ripped off the disguise mask from his face to show his honesty, and said, "Actually, I want to tell you that this operation of yours was a conspiracy. You were used by someone else. Someone wants to use you to do their dirty work."

"Oh?" Upon hearing Qin Xiaochuan's words, Chief Qian showed neither surprise nor disregard, but calmly asked, "Since it's a conspiracy, how did you know about it?"

Qin Xiaochuan was quite troubled by Chief Qian's question, because he couldn't reveal his true relationship with the Blood Witch Clan. Otherwise, whatever he said would lack persuasiveness. But now, he could only explain as best he could: "I once encountered two assassins, and I learned about this conspiracy from them."

"So you also know who orchestrated this conspiracy?" Chief Qian asked again.

"He's also someone from within the Blood Witch Clan. He's trying to use this to eliminate dissidents," Qin Xiaochuan answered truthfully.

"It seems you know quite a bit about the Blood Witch Clan. What exactly is your relationship with them, and why are you involved in matters related to them?" Chief Qian's expression suddenly turned sharp, making Qin Xiaochuan realize that the other party had not listened to him at all; to the other party, this was more like an interrogation.
