Chapter 320: A Behind-the-Scenes Clue Appears

Chapter 320: Chapter 320: A Behind-the-Scenes Clue Appears

This was the roof of the building, dozens of meters up.

Qin Tianxuan’s move left everyone completely stunned.

Bai Chuxia screamed from the back, "Brother Qin—"

"Shut up! What’s all the screaming about?" Only Li Qingcheng remained perfectly composed. "You all have no idea what he’s capable of. A fall from this height is nothing to him. Hmph, I heard that one time, when things were urgent, that man jumped straight out of a plane without a parachute."

Everyone present stared in disbelief.

’Jumped from a plane without a parachute?’

No one would believe such a thing.

But then, a loud THUD echoed from outside. Everyone rushed to the balcony, only to see the shocking sight of Qin Tianxuan’s figure appearing on top of Building Three.

That... that was a leap of dozens of meters, and a drop from a high-rise, no less.

Bai Chuxia’s jaw dropped.

Li Qingcheng, on the other hand, was full of pride. "The man I, Commandery Princess Qingcheng, have my eye on is just that badass!"

Qin Tianxuan had already landed amidst the flames on Building Three.

He ripped a bedsheet from a nearby clothesline, wrapped it around his body, and kicked open a fire hose cabinet.

Water gushed out, soaking the sheet.

In a flash, Qin Tianxuan’s figure shot through the flames.

Ahead, two figures were blocking the stairwell entrance, coughing incessantly. Dressed all in black, they appeared to be lookouts.

Qin Tianxuan observed the surrounding fire and breathed an inward sigh of relief.

’The fire hasn’t spread to the interior. The rooftop was just too dry, and some clothes ignited.’

’There’s smoke inside, but they’ll be okay for a short while.’

His figure moved like a phantom, slipping behind the two men.

The two men in black collapsed, not even comprehending what had just happened.

Qin Tianxuan gripped one man by the neck and dragged the other closer. "I’ll only ask once. Who sent you, and who’s your target?"

They had the same black snake tattoos, the same fearless, idiotic bravado.

The two men in black said nothing.

Qin Tianxuan tightened his grip. With a sickening CRACK, the head of the man in his left hand lolled to the side.

The man on his right shuddered, fear finally flickering in his eyes.

"Not talking?" Qin Tianxuan, still draped in the sheet, reached out again.

The man shrieked, "We’re from the Black Snake Association! I... I don’t know anything! The boss gave us two million for this operation and told us to grab that Hua Zhaoxing... That’s... that’s all I know!"

"How many others besides you two?" Qin Tianxuan asked coldly.

"Th-there are seven more, all on the fourth floor. They just grabbed the little girl, but who knew the guys outside would screw up and set off a Molotov cocktail..."

CRACK!

Qin Tianxuan silenced him with a chop to the throat.

He tossed aside the sheet, descended through the stairwell, and arrived on the fourth floor.

From the fourth-floor hallway, a woman’s frantic cries echoed, "Hua Hua, Hua Hua, don’t be scared! Mommy’s here, and Daddy’s here too."

It was Yan Xinyue’s voice.

Then came Hua Zhaoxing’s roar: "Let my daughter go, and I’ll go with you! I know you’re after the Hua Family! You’re after me, Hua Zhaoxing!"

A sinister voice replied, "Looks like there’s a fire outside. The plan has changed. The higher-ups say you, Hua Zhaoxing, are useless now. They want us to eliminate you all on the spot!"

The sinister voice cackled like a howling demon. "A family of three, all together now. I think I’ll start with the child."

Yan Xinyue screamed while Hua Zhaoxing roared in fury.

Just then, a phantom-like figure appeared at the end of the hallway.

Before the six Black Snake Association assassins could even react, crimson arcs flashed through the air.

His killing intent flared. For the first time, Qin Tianxuan unleashed his true power. His military dagger flashed like a meteor, then again like a crescent moon.

With every flash, a man fell.

The leader, who was gripping Hua Hua tightly, sensed something was wrong. He whipped his head around. "Who—?"

The word had barely left his lips when both his hands flew into the air.

The shimmering military dagger had severed both his hands!

Qin Tianxuan blurred forward again, knocking the handless villain aside as he caught the falling Hua Hua. "Hua Hua, don’t be afraid. Uncle’s here. Don’t look behind you. Close your eyes!"

Hua Hua squeezed her eyes shut, missing the gory scene. Qin Tianxuan’s expression was impassive as he carried her over to Hua Zhaoxing and his wife.

At that moment, Yan Xinyue’s delicate lips were parted, her face a mask of utter disbelief.

’It... it was the delivery boy who saved my daughter!’

’How did he do that?’

Yan Xinyue subconsciously took her daughter, a storm of shock crashing through her mind.

’At this moment, Qin Tianxuan seemed so mysterious in her eyes.’

’Is he really just some young guy working a menial job?’

As for Hua Zhaoxing, he nearly fell to his knees before Qin Tianxuan.

His daughter, Hua Hua, was his entire world!

Qin Tianxuan put away his military dagger. "Get out of here! I’ll clean up."

Clutching their daughter, Hua Zhaoxing and his wife scrambled to get out.

Qin Tianxuan turned, discreetly started recording on his phone, and then planted his foot on the struggling Black Snake Association leader.

"Ghh... ghh... I know you. You’re Qin Tianxuan, the Northern Domain Night Emperor!" The leader’s gaze was unfocused, but he was grinning savagely.

A thought struck Qin Tianxuan. "Qin Zhan Jun is your boss, isn’t he?"

The leader laughed maniacally, as if high on drugs. "The skies over Da Xia are about to change! The Martial Arts Alliance is rising, and the world will be ours! The War Monarch will unite all, and the Martial God will descend!"

Still grinning savagely, he bit down hard and severed his own tongue!

Qin Tianxuan stood in silence, looking at the video he had just recorded on his phone.

Then, he made a call to Huang Tian of Dragon Platform Phoenix Hall.

"Uncle Huang, take a look at this video."

Over the phone, Huang Tian was aghast. "Is Qin Zhan Jun behind this?"

Qin Tianxuan replied coldly, "No, it’s the Daqin Royal Family pulling the strings! Qin Zhan Jun is just a tool they’ve cultivated!"

Huang Tian was even more shaken. "’Trouble is brewing from within... The skies over Da Xia are about to change?’ What the hell does that mean?"

In the past, whether in the Northern Domain or the Southern Domain, Qin Tianxuan had always been the bulwark against foreign threats.

But now, the enemy was appearing from within!

And Dragon Platform Phoenix Hall was the very organization responsible for handling Da Xia’s internal problems.

Huang Tian immediately made up his mind. "I’m almost at retirement age. Tianxuan, this position of Grand Commander of Dragon Platform Phoenix Hall... I’ll only be at ease if you’re the one to take it! Come to the Imperial Capital at once, and I’ll have you take over right now!"

Qin Tianxuan immediately refused. "I have no intention of returning to the Imperial Capital. That world is too complicated for me. I’m just a simple soldier who enjoys fighting on the battlefield."

Huang Tian was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled. "In that case, I’ll send Captain Qin Niannian to Shangdu to investigate. Since you’re so busy, Tianxuan, I won’t trouble you."

’Captain Qin Niannian...’

Qin Tianxuan was speechless. "Uncle Huang, that’s a low blow. You gave Niannian that Captain position for her birthday... it was all for a moment like this, wasn’t it?"

Huang Tian’s wild laughter boomed over the phone. "I’ve got other matters to attend to! If you don’t want to be the Grand Commander, Tianxuan, then the position will be Niannian’s in the future! Hmph, I’m hanging up!"

BEEP... BEEP... BEEP... The old fox had actually hung up.
