"You're a martial artist, aren't you?" the Gu tribe member casually asked Qin Xuan, playing with a bug on his shoulder.
Qin Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Martial artist, hmph.
In that case, Qin Xuan wasn't really a martial artist, but he wouldn't expose himself.
After all, there were too many unknowns in this world.
Qin Xuan possessed the Dragon Pill; if others coveted it.
A man is innocent, but he is guilty if he possesses a treasure. He understood this principle.
"So what if I am?" Qin Xuan could not deny it. Since they considered him a martial artist, then he was one.
"Hmph," the Gu tribe member snorted, pointing at Qin Xuan and berating him,
"Martial artists are all scum! If it weren't for you people back then, we Gu tribe wouldn't have been driven into the deep mountains!"
Qin Xuan naturally understood what the Gu tribe member meant.
But if it weren't for the Gu tribe's wickedness and their harm to the common folk back then, would they have been driven into the deep mountains?
Perhaps influenced by the Dragon Pill, if it were the current Qin Xuan, he wouldn't have just driven them into the mountains; he would have annihilated them.
Otherwise, these Gu tribe members wouldn't dare to openly harm people like this now.
First, they poisoned Wang Yuyan, and now they've kidnapped Qin Lin. In other places, there must be many Gu tribe members causing trouble.
"Today, I'll let you know how powerful we Gu tribe are! Every day these past years, we Gu tribe have longed to storm the secular world and slaughter all you self-righteous martial artists!" the Gu tribe member said, veins bulging on his face.
"Remember, the one killing you is Miao Tie of the Gu tribe. Today, I will use you as a sacrifice to mark our return to the secular world!"
As Miao Tie spoke, his body surged forward, and in an instant, he charged towards Qin Xuan with incredible speed. Da Feng Novel Network.
"Be careful."
Qin Xuan's brows furrowed, and he pushed Leng Xi back, meeting Miao Tie with a punch.
A gust of wind directly repelled Leng Xi to the doorway.
Seeing Qin Xuan stand firm, Miao Tie was slightly surprised.
"Kid, you've got some strength."
Qin Xuan also sneered. Now, he wasn't even afraid of martial artists of the Grandmaster realm, let alone this mere Gu tribe member before him?
"Hmph, there's more to come!"
Qin Xuan let out a low growl, and dragon power instantly condensed onto his fist. Then, Qin Xuan withdrew his fist and punched again.
"Boom!"
Immense true energy directly forced Miao Tie back, sending him flying over ten meters before he stopped.
After stabilizing himself, Miao Tie looked at Qin Xuan with some astonishment.
This level of inner energy was likely at the Grandmaster realm!
However, this kid looked no more than twenty-something. How could he be such a young Grandmaster?!
"Kid, are you a Grandmaster?"
Qin Xuan, with one hand behind his back, did not deny it, looking arrogant and dismissive.
Seeing Qin Xuan's tacit admission, Miao Tie's expression changed.
In the Gu tribe, Witchdoctors were divided into four ranks.
Beginner Witchdoctor, Intermediate Witchdoctor, Advanced Witchdoctor, and Great Witchdoctor.
Miao Tie had only recently become an Advanced Witchdoctor. Dealing with a Grandmaster-level martial artist would still be very difficult.
It was likely only a Great Witchdoctor who could handle a Grandmaster martial artist.
He had expected to encounter at most a master of Huajin realm this time, but he hadn't anticipated a Grandmaster.
Miao Tie knew this encounter was going to be troublesome.
Thus, Miao Tie quickly took out a bell and shook it, producing a strange sound.
Seeing this, Qin Xuan thought the Gu tribe member was up to some trickery and was about to make a move. Unexpectedly, two figures leaped down from the left and right, dressed similarly to Miao Tie.
Miao Tie glanced at the two and said,
"This is a bit tricky. This kid is a Grandmaster. Let's attack together and use our natal Gu worms."
The two exchanged a look, both frowning, then turned to Miao Tie,
"We only have one natal Gu worm each. Unless it's a life-or-death situation..."
"What's the difference between that and a life-or-death situation now?" Miao Tie rebuked the two.
"You two are Intermediate Witchdoctors, and with me, an Advanced Witchdoctor, can we really handle a Grandmaster?"
The two fell silent instantly.
"Stop wasting time. If they're gone, they're gone. We can raise new ones," Miao Tie said, grabbing the bug on his shoulder and throwing it into his mouth.
The next moment, Miao Tie's body began to tremble, he foamed at the mouth, and his eyes were bloodshot.
The other two Gu tribe members did not hesitate either and followed suit, eating the bugs on their shoulders.
Immediately, a fierce aura surged from the three of them, making them appear incredibly ferocious.
The natal Gu worm of a Witchdoctor was the first Gu worm nurtured by a Gu tribe member when they became a Witchdoctor.
Moreover, it was fed with their own vital blood.
It was equivalent to a Witchdoctor storing a portion of their power within the Gu worm during cultivation.
When the Witchdoctor encounters insurmountable danger and consumes their natal Gu worm, their power will increase by more than double in a short period. The longer the natal Gu worm has been nurtured, the greater the power increase, though the side effects are substantial.
