Chapter 390: Chapter 260: Arrival of the Rootless Sect (Part 4)

Just as Qin Yuesheng had this thought, he saw the Great Han’s chest bulge, and suddenly a human hand burst out from his chest, splattering a large amount of blood.

"Hmm!" The Great Han’s eyes gradually lost focus, and his life force was visibly draining away at an observable speed.

Qin Yuesheng suddenly felt a murderous intent surrounding him, and immediately struck forward with a palm, hitting the chest of the already dead Great Han.

Boom!

A tremendous force came from the other side, violently colliding with Qin Yuesheng’s Palm Force.

The Great Han’s body instantly exploded into pieces, leaving a grisly sight.

At the same time, the figure of a faceless person suddenly appeared in Qin Yuesheng’s line of sight behind the Great Han.

"Evil spirit?" Qin Yuesheng’s pupils contracted, and he immediately launched a powerful kick.

This kick could even break an iron pillar. The faceless person’s arms came out to block, intending to seize Qin Yuesheng’s ankle with a grabbing technique.

Bam!

Predictably, Qin Yuesheng’s swift kick struck the faceless person, who had no chance to defend and was instantly sent flying, crashing into a nearby wall of a house.

Seeing the master die in an instant, not even leaving behind a complete corpse, the other Great Hans, never having witnessed such brutality, immediately panicked and turned to flee.

But unexpectedly, several faceless people suddenly jumped out from beneath the ground, quickly breaking the bones of each man in a flash.

These people were barely of external strength, nowhere close to being a match for the faceless ones.

Having just kicked one away and seeing several more appear, Qin Yuesheng couldn’t help but frown.

Silently, all the faceless ones rushed towards Qin Yuesheng, and under the moonlight, their arms transformed into sword-like shapes, fiercely slashing at Qin Yuesheng without any form of defense.

In Qin Yuesheng’s eyes, they were filled with flaws, but the more flaws, the more ruthless their attack became.

Bending his head to dodge the first faceless person’s hand blade, Qin Yuesheng backhanded the person’s wrist, using his waist as a pivot to spin like a top and slam him out.

Bam!

With a loud crash, the ground split with numerous cracks.

The faceless person instantly dispersed into black ash, scattering into many pieces of mud.

No time to catch his breath, the remaining faceless ones attacked. Qin Yuesheng reached for the hilt of his sword behind his waist, drawing the Dragon-Slaying Sword, which immediately became a flash of sword light colliding with the faceless ones’ hand blades.

The Dragon-Slaying Sword was incredibly sharp, severing the faceless ones’ arms instantly into two halves with a single swing.

Qin Yuesheng’s fast sword strokes, as dense as a rainstorm, encompassed the area where the faceless ones were, demonstrating the utmost speed he could achieve with his physical prowess.

When the Sword Qi dissipated, there was nothing left in its place.

"How could such a thing appear suddenly, could it be..." Qin Yuesheng turned his gaze towards the mansion he had arranged for the Ninth Princess and her entourage.

At this moment, a terrible premonition surged in his heart.

Immediately, Qin Yuesheng set off using the Carefree Heavenly Travel Skill to rush over.

...

"Ninth Princess, it’s time to sleep." Seeing the room still lit with candles, Linghua walked to the door and said.

"Aunt Linghua, I can’t sleep, come in and chat with me."

"Then I shall impose." Linghua pushed open the door and walked in.

Inside the room, Ninth Princess was dressed in a gray long dress, her smooth long hair draped over her back, her beautiful eyes fixed on the candlelight on the table.

Her side profile was exquisite, the curve of her nose, chin, and neck sculpted like a jade master’s careful craftsmanship.

In the firelight, she was even more captivating.

"Ninth Princess..."

"Aunt, I’ve already told you not to call me Ninth Princess anymore, just call me Ah Jiu," Ninth Princess said, resting her cheek on her hand with a slight pout.

"Ninth Princess, how could that be proper, it’s disrespectful," Linghua quickly refused.

She already knew from Ah Jiu’s mouth that the nickname Ah Jiu was only used by the Crown Prince, Crown Prince Consort, and Ah Jiu’s siblings.

As a minor official of the Iron Toad division of the Seven Stars Directorate, if she dared to address Ah Jiu like that, she feared being discovered and facing severe punishment.

"I’m no longer a princess, so how could it be disrespectful?" Ah Jiu’s face slightly blushed as she gazed at the candlelight: "Aunt Linghua, can I go see that elder brother tomorrow?"

Linghua immediately understood that Ah Jiu was referring to Qin Yuesheng. In fact, Qin Yuesheng, in terms of age, was younger than Ah Jiu by a year, but because of his martial arts training, he appeared more mature, leading Ah Jiu to automatically consider him her elder brother.

"That Lord Qin is not only handsome beyond words, like a deity descended to earth, but his demeanor is transcendent. Even I couldn’t help feeling a flutter for him, not to mention the Ninth Princess." Linghua glanced at Ah Jiu’s expression, as her experienced eyes clearly saw the signs of young love.

It’s likely that Lord Qin had set Ah Jiu’s heart aflutter.

"Ninth Princess, let’s discuss this in the morning, it’s late, you should sleep..." Before she could finish speaking, Linghua’s expression suddenly changed, swiftly drawing the short sword she always kept by her side, stabbing under the table.

Under the table, a faceless person climbing halfway out was stabbed in the face directly by Linghua’s sword.

Yet the faceless person seemed unbothered, grasping Linghua’s wrist and yanking her over, headbutting her face in the process.
