Seeing Chen Qingshan still dare to pursue him, Liu Quan felt a blazing fury burning in his heart.
He wanted to raise his hand to strike back, only to find that his arm had actually been snapped by a single punch from Chen Qingshan.
It was that very punch just now.
Liu Quan finally realized that Chen Qingshan's strength was vastly greater than his own.
This was definitely not the kind of power possessed by someone at the Fourth Layer of Body Tempering.
With a brief mental assessment, Liu Quan instantly knew he was probably no match for Chen Qingshan.
He no longer dared to fight Chen Qingshan.
Once you figure out you are no match for someone, what the hell is the point of fighting?
He wanted to retreat, but it was already too late.
Sensing Liu Quan's intention, Chen Qingshan sneered and grabbed Liu Quan's arm.
Exerting a sudden burst of strength in his hand, he hoisted Liu Quan right up.
Before Liu Quan could even react, Chen Qingshan swung him in a semicircle, sweeping him right over the top of his own head.
Then, he slammed him fiercely onto the ground.
Liu Quan instantly felt his head spin, completely dazed and disoriented.
"Brother!"
Seeing Liu Quan beaten to this state, Liu An's expression changed drastically, and he cried out in alarm.
The surrounding onlookers were also dumbfounded.
Although Chen Qingshan had tricked Liu Quan,
even if they actually fought, none of them believed Chen Qingshan could be Liu Quan's match.
The scene unfolding before their eyes completely exceeded their imagination.
In less than three moves, Liu Quan had actually been knocked flat on the ground.
Looking at him, he didn't even have the strength left to fight back.
Although Liu Quan was lying on the ground looking like he couldn't move anymore,
Chen Qingshan did not stop there. Instead, he straddled straight onto Liu Quan's body.
He rained a flurry of blows down on Liu Quan,
and then clamped his hands around Liu Quan's throat.
Seeing this, Liu An hurriedly shouted at the top of his lungs, "Chen Qingshan! My brother is an official disciple of the Xuanyang Sect! If you dare to kill him, the Xuanyang Sect will not spare you!"
Chen Qingshan ignored Liu An, not even sparing him a single glance, and immediately began searching through Liu Quan's person.
A porcelain vial was fished out.
Chen Qingshan opened it and took a look; it was filled entirely with Blood Qi Pills, numbering around forty or fifty.
Joy welled up in Chen Qingshan's heart.
His initiative in attacking Liu Quan had been aimed precisely at the Blood Qi Pills on Liu An's person.
Without crippling Liu Quan, how could he possibly get his hands on those Blood Qi Pills?
Everyone watched as Chen Qingshan took away Liu Quan's Blood Qi Pills.
However, their hearts no longer experienced much emotional fluctuation.
Today, they had already witnessed far too many shocking events.
Chen Qingshan taking Liu Quan's Blood Qi Pills was completely normal.
After all, once you've beaten a man to the ground, it would be a huge loss not to rob him of his pills.
After taking Liu Quan's Blood Qi Pills, Chen Qingshan delivered two more ferocious punches to Liu Quan before slowly standing up.
Only then did Chen Qingshan cast a proper look at Liu An, smiling as he beckoned to him.
Looking somewhat baffled, Liu An asked, "Chen Qingshan, what do you want?"
Seeing the terrified look on Liu An's face, Chen Qingshan gave an honest, foolish grin.
"Come over and carry your brother away! You can't just leave him lying here face down—does an official disciple's dignity mean nothing to you?"
Liu An muttered inwardly: *He's already beaten to this miserable state, what dignity is even left?*
Still, Liu An slowly stepped forward and helped his brother up.
Liu Quan cast a fierce glare at Chen Qingshan.
However, he didn't say a word.
Daring to spout harsh threats even when you can't beat the guy is just asking for another beating!
Just as Liu Quan intended to have Liu An support him as he left, a noisy commotion suddenly erupted from the crowd.
"Senior Sister Ye is here!"
"It really is Senior Sister Ye! To think she actually came to the Servant Quarters!"
"Why did Senior Sister Ye come over here? Could she be here to stand up for Liu Quan? After all, they're both official disciples!"
"Could she be here to stand up for Chen Qingshan? I heard Chen Qingshan was the one she brought up to the mountain!"
...
Chen Qingshan also turned his head to look, seeing Ye Qingxuan slowly walking over from behind the crowd.
Walking right beside Ye Qingxuan was a young master dressed in brocade robes.
Chen Qingshan's eyes lit up as he looked at him.
This young master could tell at a glance that he was no ordinary person.
If he were to rob this guy, he could probably rake in quite a few good things!
Of course, Chen Qingshan was just thinking about it.
At this moment, the young master wore an arrogant expression on his face, looking as though his status within the sect was by no means inferior to Ye Qingxuan's.
His cultivation level was probably quite high, meaning Chen Qingshan was no match for him.
As Ye Qingxuan and this young master approached, the surrounding servant disciples consciously cleared a path.
They didn't even dare to get too close.
Watching the fanatical gleam in the eyes of these servant disciples, Chen Qingshan could also sense the adoration these people held for Ye Qingxuan.
This woman really was a goddess within the sect.
Seeing Ye Qingxuan and this young master approach, Liu Quan's expression turned somewhat excited.
No longer looking weak, he shouted toward Ye Qingxuan and the young master, "Senior Sister Ye! Young Master Zhao! You must uphold justice for me!"
"This Chen Qingshan is merely a servant disciple, yet he dared to beat me up! This is insubordination against a superior, a crime punishable by death!"
Ye Qingxuan glanced at Liu An, walked over to Chen Qingshan, and asked with some surprise, "You beat him like this?"
Chen Qingshan nodded and said, "That's right. He came looking for trouble on my doorstep, so me fighting back shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Ye Qingxuan did not speak; instead, she looked Chen Qingshan up and down with a pensive expression.
Clearly, Chen Qingshan's Third Layer of Body Tempering cultivation being able to beat Liu Quan of the Fifth Layer of Body Tempering to this state came as a great surprise to her.
At this moment, that Young Master Zhao suddenly spoke up, "Qingxuan, are the servant disciples of your Xuanyang Sect all this arrogant? They actually dare to make a move against official disciples!"
Hearing these words, Chen Qingshan immediately frowned.
This Senior Brother Zhao seemed intent on standing up for Liu Quan.
Chen Qingshan looked toward Ye Qingxuan, wanting to see her stance.
Ye Qingxuan turned her head and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Zhao, this is an internal matter within our Xuanyang Sect, so there is no need to trouble yourself with it. Qingxuan will handle it properly on her own!"
Seeing that Ye Qingxuan seemed unwilling to give him face, Senior Brother Zhao frowned.
"Qingxuan, you're being too formal by saying that. The Xuanyang Sect and my Xuantian Sect share the same origins—why bother speaking with such detachment?"
Ye Qingxuan hesitated slightly as well, not continuing to refute Senior Brother Zhao's words.
Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Chen Qingshan found it quite interesting.
The Xuantian Sect?
Sharing the same origins with the Xuanyang Sect—what was that supposed to mean?
Chen Qingshan felt that these two sects had a deep connection, yet something about it seemed slightly off.
Ye Qingxuan smiled and softly said, "Senior Brother Zhao, you've just arrived at the Xuanyang Sect and aren't familiar with the situation inside the sect. Let's leave this matter for Qingxuan to handle!"
Seeing that Ye Qingxuan had put it that way, Senior Brother Zhao said no more. He nodded and let Ye Qingxuan handle the matter.
Turning his head back toward Chen Qingshan, Ye Qingxuan said with a smile, "To think you've cultivated all the way to the Third Layer of Body Tempering so quickly—that really comes as a bit of a surprise to me!"
Chen Qingshan gave an honest, foolish grin: "Can't be helped. On my very first day arriving at the Servant Quarters, someone tried to rob me!"
Ye Qingxuan asked indifferently, "Who was the one trying to rob you? Tell me, and I'll seek justice for you!"
Everyone present was stunned.
Even Chen Qingshan had not expected that Ye Qingxuan would actually intend to stand up for him.
