Chapter 62

Xiao Zhan left the Qin residence, chatting and laughing with Qin Nianran as they headed for the Heavenly Capital. Through casual conversation, he learned that Qin Nianran's mother was from the War Demon Clan, while her father was from the Qin Clan, and her grandfather was the current clan leader of the Qin Clan. Along the way, Qin Nianran kept introducing the scenery and characteristics of Juesheng City to Xiao Zhan, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the Heavenly Capital.

The Heavenly Capital was very lively, filled with strangers, but Xiao Zhan didn't care about that. He held Qin Nianran's hand and entered the inner quarters. After a bit of inquiry, he quickly found his senior sister Tian Yue'er.

At that moment, in the main hall of the inner quarters, Tian Yue'er was talking to a man with a heroic appearance. The man had a square face, bright eyes, and his demeanor and tone exuded a strong sense of confidence. He was in his twenties, with a robust build and slightly dark skin. What was incredible was that his cultivation had reached the Seventh Heaven of Nirvana, making him the most powerful young cultivator Xiao Zhan had seen so far.

Seeing his senior sister, Xiao Zhan felt a bit nervous. He took a deep breath and mustered the courage to walk over. When she saw him, Tian Yue'er's face suddenly turned cold, and she said with a huff, "Where have you been these days? I haven't even seen a ghost of you."

Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "I went to the Martial Pavilion a few days ago and gained a lot. I got so absorbed in cultivation that I lost track of time. I only returned today and heard your summons, so I came over immediately."

Tian Yue'er frowned, staring at Qin Nianran, who was holding hands with Xiao Zhan, and said with a questioning tone, "This girl is quite pretty. You little brat, you're not busy flirting and lying about cultivating, are you?"

Qin Nianran wasn't afraid of her at all. Seeing her scowl at her beloved, she was very unhappy and raised her face proudly, saying, "Brother Xiao said he was cultivating, so he was. He wouldn't lie. What are your eyes for? Haven't you seen that Brother Xiao broke through to the Xiantian realm in just a few days?"

Seeing someone dare to defy her, Tian Yue'er's eyes were filled with killing intent. She sneered, "Breaking through to the Xiantian realm in just a few days, do you think he's a world-class genius? He... huh! He really did reach the Xiantian realm? Could it be that my eyes are deceiving me? The energy in his meridians isn't true qi, but true essence! How is that possible? Did you take drugs or something?"

Xiao Zhan rolled his eyes and said, "Senior sister, your eyesight is sharp."

At this moment, the heroic man beside Tian Yue'er spoke up, "Yue'er is right. The energy in his meridians is indeed true essence. Although it's only equivalent to the peak of the Xiantian realm, it already counts as stepping into the Transcendent Mortal realm. Tsk tsk tsk! No wonder you come from the War God lineage. At fourteen, you've already stepped into the Transcendent Mortal realm. Your cultivation speed is much faster than ours back then."

Xiao Zhan said in surprise, "This big brother truly has keen eyesight. However, although I have true essence, I haven't reached the Transcendent Mortal realm; I'm still in the Xiantian realm."

The heroic young man shook his head and smiled, "The hardest part of stepping into the Transcendent Mortal realm is condensing true qi into true essence. You've already completed this step, so it should be easy for you to truly step into the Transcendent Mortal realm in the future."

Xiao Zhan smiled and looked at Tian Yue'er, saying, "Senior sister, what did you call me for?"

Tian Yue'er huffed, "I'm getting married next month. Aren't you happy?"

Xiao Zhan quickly said, "Of course I'm happy. I wish you a happy and fulfilling marriage. Huh! Wait, didn't you say you would wait for a while? Why are you getting married so soon?"

Tian Yue'er glared at him fiercely and said, "Do you have a problem with it?"

Xiao Zhan hurriedly smiled and said, "How could I? Whatever Senior sister does, I will definitely support it with both hands."

Seeing Tian Yue'er bullying Xiao Zhan, the heroic man beside her suddenly laughed, "Yue'er, you're about to get married, yet you're still so fierce. How will your future husband, Han Feng, handle you?"

Tian Yue'er blushed slightly and said, "Brother Mu, you're talking nonsense. Yue'er is a lady, not fierce at all."

The heroic man shook his head and said, "Where have you seen a lady who glares after just a few words? In the future, you'll probably end up being a shrew."

Hearing his evaluation, Xiao Zhan secretly rejoiced. With Senior sister's temper, she would definitely be a typical shrew after marriage. Whoever marries her will be in for a tough time. Unconsciously, a smile appeared on his face.

Xiao Zhan's expression was caught by Tian Yue'er, who glared at him and said, "What are you smiling about? Let me introduce you. This man who talks nonsense is called Zhan Mu, a good friend of Senior sister. Hurry up and call him Senior Brother!"

Xiao Zhan's smile disappeared, and he said solemnly, "Senior Brother, hello!"

Next, Tian Yue'er continued chatting with Zhan Mu, completely ignoring Xiao Zhan. Seeing that he was being ignored, Xiao Zhan was happy to be free and quietly left with Qin Nianran. Just as they left the main hall, before he could relax, a surprised shout came, making his face turn grim.

"Nianran, what are you doing here?"

The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw a very robust young man approaching quickly. The young man had thick eyebrows and large eyes, a rugged appearance, and a fierce look. At that moment, his eyes were blazing with excitement as he looked at Qin Nianran, completely ignoring Xiao Zhan.

Seeing him, Qin Nianran's eyes were filled with anger. She huffed and turned her head away. Xiao Zhan was furious. Where did this guy come from, daring to flirt with his woman right in front of him, as if he didn't exist. Xiao Zhan coldly huffed and stood in front of Qin Nianran, looking at the robust man with a grim face.

The robust man's vision was blocked, and he suddenly turned red with anger. His eyes widened, and he said coldly, "Pretty boy, get out of the way. Don't block your grandpa's view!"

He reached out to grab Xiao Zhan's shoulder, as if he wanted to throw him away.

This guy is too arrogant! Flirting with his woman in front of him was bad enough, but now he dared to lay a hand on him! In the eight years since coming to the War Valley, Xiao Zhan had never encountered such an arrogant person. Seeing the grab, Xiao Zhan's eyes suddenly focused.

The grab seemed casual but sealed all his movements. It felt like no matter how he dodged, he couldn't escape this grab. The moment the robust man made his move, Xiao Zhan knew his hand skills were excellent. This grab seemed flawless, with no weaknesses.

In a flash, countless sword techniques flashed through Xiao Zhan's mind, and this perfect move suddenly seemed full of flaws to him. At the same time, a strange feeling surged in his heart. In that instant, the sword seemed to be in his heart, and he felt like he was the sword, and the sword was him. A strong impulse suddenly took control of his body, and he pointed a finger at the approaching hand.

"Zzz!"

As he pointed, it was as if a legendary sword was unsheathed, with a silver sword glow surrounding his fingertip, and a sword cry echoed.

The robust man's face changed, feeling the sword light before him. This finger not only broke his grab but also sealed all his possible moves, leaving him unable to advance or retreat.

"Poof!"

In a flash, the finger and hand collided, and the robust man's face suddenly changed. He felt a violent energy surge through his hand, breaking through his defenses and wreaking havoc inside his body. At the same time, a powerful and terrifying force sent him flying. In the air, he felt his bones about to shatter, as if his body was falling apart.

"Ah!"

The robust man let out a惨叫, flying over ten meters and landing with a "thud," lying still for a long time.

Seeing the power of his finger, Xiao Zhan was stunned, then he came to his senses. The robust man was a first-level Transcendent Mortal realm warrior with 2000 units of true essence. With a surprise attack, he naturally suffered a hidden loss.

Of course, Xiao Zhan's true essence was only 1000 units, half of the robust man's. Even taking advantage of the other's underestimation, it was impossible to achieve such a result. The real credit went to his 20,000 units of immense strength. Although he used only one finger, the nearly tenfold impact in the surprise attack still left the robust man in a dire state.

Xiao Zhan huffed, about to pull the still-shocked Qin Nianran away, when he saw Tianzhu approaching, instantly making him feel uneasy. The last time he came to the Heavenly Capital, this guy introduced him to a match, almost getting him raped by two women. Seeing him again, Xiao Zhan had a bad feeling, as if this guy was going to introduce him to another match.
