After realizing these things, Zhang Longwang fell into complete despair.
Xuan Qing had already broken through to the Energizing Skill Peak Realm, yet he was still no match for Qin Chuan with a single move. How strong was Qin Chuan actually?
Zhang Longwang didn’t dare to think further, fear was the only thing left in his heart.
After Qin Chuan finished administering the acupuncture to Song Jie, he took out five elixirs and handed them to He Jinzhou, who had been following him closely, and instructed, "Soak these five elixirs in a large basin of water, and give each person a bowl to drink."
The elixirs he produced were high-level healing elixirs, not suitable for Martial Artists below the Energizing Skill, but it was still feasible to soak them into water for twenty to thirty Dark Energy Martialists to consume.
He Jinzhou trembled in spirit, responding with utmost respect, "Yes!"
With his discerning eye, he could naturally tell that those five elixirs were all valuable high-level elixirs.
If placed at the Premium Auction House, any single one could fetch a sky-high price, yet Qin Chuan casually took out five and asked him to soak them for the injured members of the Song Family to drink.
"Golden Saber Grandmaster, He Jinzhou!"
Zhang Longwang only then saw the elder who had been following Qin Chuan, and he couldn’t help exclaiming in shock.
He Jinzhou gave Zhang Longwang a cold glance, then hurried to carry out Qin Chuan’s orders.
Hua Xiong was also utterly stunned. As the number one fighter of the East Sea Black Dragon Commerce Guild, He Jinzhou was countless times stronger than him, the number one in Jiangcheng City.
But at this moment, He Jinzhou was obeying Qin Chuan like a subordinate.
One must know, the Jiangcheng City Black Dragon Commerce Guild was managed by the East Sea Black Dragon Commerce Guild, yet He Jinzhou regarded Qin Chuan with such respect. What was going on?
Qin Chuan’s gaze swept across the crowd, but he did not find Song Yan. His eyebrows shot up, and he looked at Zhang Longwang with a murderous aura, demanding, "Where is Song Yan?"
"Thump thump thump!"
The aura emanating from Qin Chuan was so strong that just one glance forced Zhang Longwang to step back three steps.
Zhang Longwang trembled uncontrollably, stammering, "I, I don’t know..."
Before he had finished speaking, Qin Chuan, who was originally five or six meters away, appeared in front of him in an instant.
"Bang!"
Qin Chuan kicked Zhang Longwang in the abdomen, and his body flew through the air, striking the wall of a villa seven or eight meters away.
Zhang Longwang felt a spasm in his abdomen, as if his breathing was being choked, with only air going out and none coming in.
Before he could recover from his terror, Qin Chuan’s foot was already pressing on his head.
Looking down from above, Qin Chuan demanded of Zhang Longwang, "Where is Song Yan?"
His tone was extremely calm, but the aura he emitted suffocated everyone present, making them afraid to even breathe.
With Qin Chuan’s foot on his face, Zhang Longwang was filled with fear.
"She, she has escaped, just now..."
This time, he dared not conceal anything any longer and quickly recounted the events of Song Yan’s escape.
When Qin Chuan learned that Song Yan had truly escaped, he inwardly heaved a sigh of relief, but the foot on Zhang Longwang’s head did not lift.
"Please, please spare my life, from now on, I will follow you without question!"
Zhang Longwang trembled as he begged for mercy.
He could clearly feel Qin Chuan’s intent to kill and understood that to Qin Chuan, killing him would be as easy as stepping on an ant.
Qin Chuan looked calmly at Zhang Longwang and said slowly, "I already gave you a chance to live, but it’s a pity you did not cherish it."
"I cherish it! I really do!"
"Please don’t kill me! I beg you, give me another chance! I realize my mistake! I truly do!"
It was only at this moment that Zhang Longwang truly felt the despair of facing death, desperately begging for his life.
Qin Chuan remained unemotional, stating expressionlessly, "You only get one chance, since you chose to miss it, there won’t be a second one."
"Crack!"
As his words ended, the sound of a bone breaking rang out; Zhang Longwang’s neck was directly twisted off.
His eyes bulged, dying with unresolved anger!
The people of the Jiangcheng City Black Dragon Commerce Guild all widened their eyes; they actually watched as Zhang Longwang, who dominated Jiangcheng, was crushed to death like an ant.
"Next, it’s your turn!"
Qin Chuan then looked towards Hua Xiong.
Hua Xiong had already been scared out of his wits, realizing his end had come after personally witnessing Zhang Longwang being crushed to death.
Seeing Qin Chuan look towards him, he turned and fled.
Qin Chuan’s expression remained calm as he leisurely plucked a green leaf from a willow tree nearby.
"Pfft!"
He flicked his finger, and the green leaf the size of a thumb instantly chased down Hua Xiong like a flying knife, entering the back of his head.
"Boom!"
With Hua Xiong’s body moving forward a few steps due to inertia before collapsing with a crash, blood stained the ground red.
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
...
"Mr. Qin, we were merely following orders and did not harm the Song Family, please spare our lives, we will follow your lead from now on!"
After a brief silence, the martial artists of the Black Dragon Commerce Guild began to kneel one after another, begging in terror.
Just then, He Jinzhou, who had finished administering elixirs to the injured members of the Song Family, came to Qin Chuan, pleading earnestly, "Mr. Qin, they are just the lowest-level martial artists in the commerce guild, please spare them for Chairman Ye’s sake!"
After speaking, he bowed deeply.
"They’re not lying; the ones responsible for the heavy casualties of the Song Family were Zhang Longwang, Hua Xiong, and Xuan Qing."
Song Qingshan also came forward, looking at Qin Chuan and said, "Please let the others go!"
Qin Chuan nodded, "Since Elder Song has said so, let’s spare them."
He Jinzhou immediately rejoiced, quickly turned to the martial artists prostrating on the ground, and rebuked, "Now get out of here, fast!"
The martial artists of the commerce guild finally came to their senses, thanking him profusely before fleeing the scene.
"The elixir you took is an Explosive Yuan Pill, once consumed, it will unleash strength far beyond one’s own."
"However, for martial artists below the Energizing Skill Peak Realm, at best it will completely waste their martial path, at worst it will result in death!"
Qin Chuan looked at Song Qingshan with a grave face, "Even now, I can only temporarily purge the remnants of the Explosive Yuan Pill from your body, but I can’t restore your martial path cultivation."
For martial artists at the Energizing Skill Peak Realm and beyond, the Explosive Yuan Pill is a treasure, but for those below that realm, it is akin to gambling with one’s life.
Fortunately, Song Qingshan’s martial path was only completely wasted, but his life was spared.
Song Qingshan said with a wry smile, "Being able to save the Song Family is enough for me."
As he spoke, his expression suddenly darken, looking complexly at Tang Zhonghan, who was still sitting crossed-legged not too far away.
Then he turned to Qin Chuan, his eyes red as he said, "Mr. Tang fought for the Song Family, burning his inner strength to temporarily boost his power, which bought the Song Family enough time."
"Qin Chuan, I know I have no right to ask you for anything, but Mr. Tang’s cultivation plummeted because of the Song Family."
"Please, at all costs, help Mr. Tang recover his cultivation, the Song Family is willing to give up half of its shares, transferring them to you without compensation!"
"Please don’t refuse, just think of it as me doing something for Mr. Tang."
