C13 Martial Dao Great Master!

The group continued to mock Zhen Gui relentlessly.

Her hair was disheveled, and her eyes blazed with a murderous look. Despite her best efforts to fight back, her powers had been sealed, leaving her completely immobilized.

"Mao, please don't come. My death is insignificant, but if you were to get hurt, I couldn't face your late father," Zhen Gui pleaded, feeling a wave of helplessness wash over her as tears filled her eyes. "Go ahead and kill me; Mao won't show himself."

From the moment Zhen Gui set foot in the ancient temple, she knew it was a trap laid by the Qin family to ensnare her and coerce Qiao Mao. At that moment, she contemplated ending her life, unwilling to let her son risk his own to save her.

A warrior from the Qin family scoffed, "You think dying will be that easy? But don't fret, once we've captured Qiao Mao, the two of you will meet your end together."

Qiao Mao, concealed in the shadows, seethed with rage at the sight of his mother's unkempt state. Yet, he managed to contain his anger, knowing that a direct assault on the Qin family would not only fail to rescue Zhen Gui but might also lead to his death within the temple's walls.

"They've dishonored my family; they will all pay with their lives," Qiao Mao vowed silently. Clutching the Profound Iron Bow, he channeled Spiritual Energy to form a chillingly cold arrow, taking aim at one of the assailants.

The Spiritual Energy Arrow glinted menacingly as it trembled on the bowstring. With the release of the bow, it sliced through the air with lethal precision.

The five who had been taunting Zhen Gui were suddenly gripped by an impending sense of doom. But before they could react, the Spiritual Energy Arrow had already penetrated the forehead of one of them.

Despite the warrior's Mortality Transcending Level Five Heaven status, his skull shattered in an instant, spilling blood and brains.

The remaining four were left in shock, their faces drained of color.

The five of them were Mortality Transcending Level Five Heaven martial artists, renowned figures in Martial Sun City and Guard Captains of the Qin family. Yet, one of them was fatally shot through the head by an arrow.

As two more Spiritual Energy Arrows flew toward them, the four remaining warriors shouted and scrambled to retreat. Tragically, two were pierced by the arrows before they could escape.

In just a brief span, three of the five Guard Captains lay dead. The two survivors fled in haste. This sudden turn of events shocked the three Mortality Transcending Level Six Heaven martial artists who had been concealed in the shadows, prompting them to reveal themselves.

"Who dares to launch such a brazen sneak attack on the Qin family's guards?" bellowed one of the Mortality Transcending Level Six Heaven warriors. The assailant's ability to kill a Mortality Transcending Level Five Heaven warrior with a single arrow indicated a mastery of Archery.

"The Qin family's men bullying a woman is despicable! You all deserve to die!" Qiao Mao stated icily from his hidden vantage point. Noticing that the Mortality Transcending Level Seven Heaven martial artist remained inactive, he frowned in concern.

Qiao Mao was certain of his ability to effortlessly dispatch the Mortality Transcending Level Five Heaven Guard Captains and was undaunted by a Mortality Transcending Level Six Heaven expert. However, the concealed Mortality Transcending Level Seven Heaven expert posed a lethal threat to him as a Martial Dao Great Master.

"You're quite composed. Let's see how long you can maintain that composure," Qiao Mao taunted with a sneer, swiftly changing his position. He then grasped the Profound Iron Bow, readying himself for the next strike.

Determined to draw out the reluctant expert, Qiao Mao resolved to eliminate the others. Concealed in the darkness, he took aim at a Mortality Transcending Level Six Heaven warrior and released a Spiritual Energy Arrow imbued with a fierce intent to kill.

The targeted warrior's face blanched as he quickly enacted his defenses. His robust Spiritual Energy burst forth, creating an immense Spiritual Energy Shield.

However, the Spiritual Energy Arrow struck the shield with such force that it exploded on impact. The shield erected by the Mortality Transcending Level Six Heaven warrior shattered, and his hands were left gruesomely mangled.

A warrior screamed in agony, prompting the others to adopt a grave demeanor. The assailant's strike was powerful enough to penetrate the defenses of a Mortality Transcending Level Six Heaven warrior, suggesting his own skills likely surpassed theirs.

"It must be that little bastard's doing. Quick, defend yourselves!"

One of them yelled, dashing towards Zhen Gui, intending to use her as a human shield. But before they could reach her, another Spiritual Energy Arrow was loosed, impaling the lead pursuer.

In that moment, no one else dared to close in on Zhen Gui. Anyone who tried would be swiftly dispatched by Qiao Mao.

Within a mere minute, Qiao Mao had slain four adversaries. The remaining quartet, fear evident in their eyes, wore somber expressions.

"He's finally making his move."

Qiao Mao felt a measure of relief after ensuring Zhen Gui was safe. But just then, he sensed a formidable presence drawing near. It was the aura of a Martial Dao Great Master from Mortality Transcending Level Seven Heaven.

This Martial Dao Great Master posed a genuine threat. Qiao Mao, vigilant and armed with his Profound Iron Bow, made a beeline for Zhen Gui.

Simultaneously, Qiao Mao kept firing Spiritual Energy Arrows, eliminating all the Mortality Transcending Level Five Heaven Guard Captains. Among the three Martial Dao Experts of Mortality Transcending Level Six Heaven, one fell, and two were wounded, their fighting prowess severely diminished.

Qiao Mao rapidly closed in on the last two.

"So it is you."

Upon recognizing Qiao Mao, the pair erupted in rage. They had suspected him all along, and now their suspicions were confirmed, fueling their anger.

Typically, Qiao Mao was seen as feeble and inept, with minimal cultivation. But now, having executed several Qin family experts, he had both surprised and enraged them.

"Damn you, die!" bellowed the Mortality Transcending Level Seven Heaven Martial Dao Great Master.

He had been covertly tracking Qiao Mao, never managing to locate him. But with Qiao Mao now in sight, he emerged, glaring furiously at his quarry.

Confronted by the Mortality Transcending Level Seven Heaven Martial Dao Great Master, Qiao Mao responded with a chilling tone, "Qin Zhiri."

The Mortality Transcending Level Seven Heaven expert was none other than Qin Jin's father, Qin Zhiri. In Qiao Mao's past life, Qin Zhiri was notorious for his wickedness, holding the title of the most feared bully in Martial Sun City.

Following the downfall of the Qiao family in Martial Sun City, countless women from the family met their tragic ends at the hands of Qin Zhiri. Upon seeing him, Qiao Mao's desire for vengeance ignited with unstoppable fury.

Qin Zhiri fixed Qiao Mao with a furious glare, his rage intensifying as he surveyed the bodies strewn across the ground – the fallen core members of the Qin family.

"You little bastard!" Qin Zhiri spat out with icy contempt, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light, barely restraining himself from killing Qiao Mao on the spot.
