Chapter 53 - Witnessing What Shouldn't Be Seen
[Main Mission Completed: Eliminate the Threat of Xiao Ming (1/1), Reward: 100 Villain Points.].
[Current Villain Level: 3].
[Current Experience: (30/150)].
[Extra Attribute Points Available: 100].
[Obtained Additional Talent—Eye of Enchantment: Charm a target and make them your servant. If the target’s mental value is over 300 points, they may awaken prematurely. Duration: 3 hours, Cooldown: 24 hours. (This skill can be upgraded)].
Qin Xian frowned slightly. The Eye of Enchantment wasn’t particularly strong, but it was a randomly acquired talent. In certain situations, this skill might prove exceptionally useful. Besides, it could be upgraded.
What truly piqued Qin Xian’s interest was the talent he had stolen from Xiao Ming through the Void Devour skill. His talent bar now displayed a new ability.
[God-Slayer Growth]: After killing elite or higher-level Void creatures, absorb their essence to randomly gain 15 attribute points.
Seeing this talent, even Qin Xian couldn’t help but take a deep breath. This talent… was terrifyingly powerful!
Such an unlimited growth talent practically made one invincible. A strange glint flashed in Qin Xian’s eyes. If he had let Xiao Ming live, then after completing the Shattered Heaven dungeon, Xiao Ming’s stats would have skyrocketed, allowing him to soar beyond reach.
At that point, dealing with him would have required a much greater cost. But fate had dealt Xiao Ming a cruel hand, crossing paths with Qin Xian.
Had it been anyone else, they might have hesitated due to fear of Jixia Academy and would have refrained from wiping him out completely.
However, Qin Xian never hesitated. He acted decisively, giving Xiao Ming no chance at all.
A smile appeared on Qin Xian’s face. This talent was perfect for him! Elite Void monsters were nothing. With the Qin family’s influence, they could gather Void dungeons for him to plunder, even ordering entire military legions to train with him!
Qin Xian retracted his Void Overlord form, but at that moment, Li Yang returned.
“Young Master Qin, I’ve already killed—” Li Yang’s words abruptly cut off. The smile on his face froze as he was gripped by a look of horror.
Though Qin Xian had returned to his first profession, Oracle Knight, Li Yang hadn’t been mistaken. Just now, the aura surrounding Qin Xian had clearly been that of a Void profession!
Qin Xian… was a Void Overlord!?
Li Yang’s face turned deathly pale. But being a smart man, he quickly masked his fear, acting as though he hadn’t seen anything.
Forcing a smile, he said, “The students from Jixia Academy deserved it. Don’t worry, Young Master Qin, I’ll keep this a secret, especially since I… well, I killed too… heh…”
However, the smile soon vanished from his face. Qin Xian and the other Qin family experts stood quietly, staring at him without expression, as though they were looking at a dead man.
The atmosphere was suffocating, and Li Yang’s heart filled with terror.
“You saw something, didn’t you?” Qin Xian suddenly smiled, glancing at Li Yang.
Unable to withstand the pressure any longer, Li Yang collapsed to his knees with a loud thud.
“Young Master Qin! I swear, I will never speak of this! I can sign a soul contract! Please, spare me!”
Kneeling on the ground, Li Yang cried miserably, tears and snot streaming down his face. He truly didn’t want to die…
He was the eldest son of the Li family, destined to rise to the top of society, with countless riches and beauties awaiting him. He was terrified of death!
Qin Xian looked at Li Yang kneeling before him and sighed softly, “Senior Li, you’re a smart man. If not for this, we could have been friends…”
Hearing this, Li Yang’s heart was filled with deep regret. If only he hadn’t stayed with Qin Xian. If only he had come back a little later!
“Young Master Qin, I swear I’ll never speak of this!”
As Li Yang cried pitifully, Qin Xian sighed again, saying, “Only the dead can keep secrets, isn’t that right?”
Qin Xian nodded toward Qiu Bo.
Without a word, Qiu Bo struck, killing Li Yang with a single blow.
From start to finish, Li Yang remained kneeling on the ground. He didn’t even have the thought of resisting, let alone fleeing.
As he looked down at Li Yang’s lifeless body, Qin Xian shook his head. Li Yang had been a talented individual. Despite the arrogance and entitlement that came with being a scion of a noble family, he had been intelligent.
But he had seen something he shouldn’t have… Qin Xian couldn’t let him live. Even if Li Yang was the eldest son of the Li family from the capital, he had to die!
