Explode 【Bonus Chapter】

Luo Qingyu swept her divine sense outward and immediately detected two presences hiding nearby. She spoke up, "Come out. I've already spotted you."

Si Miaoyan and Yunque slowly walked out from behind the sand dune.

Yunque's eyes lit up the moment she saw Ye Qinghan, and she called out happily, "Senior Brother Ye!"

Chu Xingzhi immediately stepped between them, blocking her path, and said in an extremely rude tone, "What are you shouting for? This is our Senior Brother. Why does your Yueqing Sect call everyone 'Senior Brother' the moment you see them? Aren't you annoying?"

Behind them, Zhu You silently gave their Second Senior Brother a thumbs-up in their heart: Way to go, Second Senior Brother. You sure know how to defend our Senior Brother's innocence.

Yunque felt incredibly wronged by the retort. Her eyes welled with tears as she looked at Ye Qinghan, wanting to say more. "Senior Brother Ye, I..."

Ye Qinghan did not spare her a single glance from beginning to end. He spat out a single cold word: "Scram."

Luo Qingyu did not pay the slightest attention to the drama. Her gaze fell upon Si Miaoyan of the Bishui Sect. "Did someone else come by here just now?"

Si Miaoyan answered honestly, "The ones who made the commotion just now were Ye Qiao and Ming Xuan from your sect, but they ran off a long time ago."

Luo Qingyu nodded. "Thank you."

She turned to Ye Qinghan behind her and said, "Let's go. My Junior Sister and Second Senior Brother ran ahead."

Hearing Luo Qingyu's words, Ye Qinghan nodded slightly. He turned and commanded his junior brothers and sisters in a deep voice, "Let's go."

The group did not linger any longer and turned to leave.

Left ignored, Yunque froze in place, her fists clenched tightly and her expression incredibly ugly.

Resentment and jealousy surged within her heart: Why? Why does Ye Qiao get to steal the spotlight everywhere she goes, and why can even Luo Qingyu so easily command all of Ye Qinghan's attention!

Noticing that something was off with her mood, Si Miaoyan asked softly out of concern, "Are you alright?"

Her pent-up frustration completely overthrew her rationality. Yunque's voice suddenly spiked, "Shut up!"

The sudden, vicious tone left the caring Si Miaoyan momentarily stunned.

Yunque immediately snapped out of it. Realizing she had lost her composure, she quickly suppressed her anger and apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry. I got too emotional just now."

...

Meanwhile, Ye Qiao and Ming Xuan, who had just shaken off Yunque and Si Miaoyan, had not even had time to catch their breath before they ran headfirst into Qin Huai and Zhai Chen.

Ming Xuan could not help but wail, "No way! Our luck is absolutely terrible. How did we even cross paths with them?"

Ye Qiao quickly raised a hand to make a shushing gesture. "Don't say another word, Second Senior Brother."

Qin Huai of the Chengfeng Sect swept his gaze over the two of them, a mocking smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "What a coincidence. I didn't expect to run into people from the Changming Sect here."

Qin Huai gestured to Zhai Chen beside him. "You deal with Ming Xuan. I'll take on Ye Qiao. We still have an old score to settle from the last secret realm."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Qin Huai raised his sword and lunged straight at Ye Qiao. Ye Qiao could only dodge back and forth continuously, not daring to clash with him head-on.

Watching the figures of the two fighting on the secret realm's light screen, Duan Yu sighed softly, "This won't do. A Foundation Establishment cultivator against a Golden Core cultivator has no choice but to be suppressed and beaten."

Watching from the side, Qin Fanfan felt a pang of distress for his youngest disciple, but he could only let out a sigh.

...

After several exchanges, Ye Qiao was hit twice in succession by Qin Huai. A metallic sweetness suddenly surged up her throat, and she could not help but let out a muffled groan.

Seeing Ye Qiao injured, Ming Xuan grew anxious and wanted to rush over to help, but Zhai Chen blocked him directly.

Zhai Chen sneered, "You can barely protect yourself, yet you still want to help someone else? In your dreams."

Right at this critical juncture, Luo Qingyu and her group finally rushed to the scene.

Her eyes fell instantly upon the injured Ye Qiao, and she cried out anxiously, "Junior Sister!"

She turned her head to look at Qin Huai, and a bone-chilling coldness suddenly emanated from her entire body.

Following close behind, Ye Qinghan keenly sensed this freezing aura and understood in his heart that Luo Qingyu was truly angry.

She raised her hand, retrieved a handgun from her storage ring, aimed it at Qin Huai, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

With two loud bangs, the bullets grazed Qin Huai's robes, instantly tearing the fabric apart.

Qin Huai brushed the debris off his lapel and sneered mockingly, "That's it? Your aim is too terrible."

A cold smile played on Luo Qingyu's lips. She lightly pinched her fingers together and whispered a single word, "Explode."

The two bullets that had just grazed past him suddenly exploded violently in mid-air, the shockwave of the blast sweeping toward Qin Huai.

He did not have time to dodge and was instantly heavily injured by the force of the explosion. A metallic taste filled his mouth, and he stumbled backward a few steps.

Seizing this opening, Ye Qiao's figure suddenly flashed forward. She snatched the identity jade token from Qin Huai's waist in one swift motion.

With a sharp crack, she crushed the jade token to pieces.

Ye Qiao could not help but wave her hand, her tone light and full of mischief. "Bye-bye, Chief Disciple Qin. Drop by the elimination seats and have some tea."

"Don't worry, Zhai Chen will be joining you very soon."

Hearing this, Qin Huai's face instantly turned pitch-black. Gritting his teeth, he snarled, "You!"
