Yin Xiyuan nodded slightly, agreeing with Qin Yi's statement. Unfortunately, with differing factions and ideologies, they were enemies, not friends, otherwise, they might have developed a friendship spanning generations.

Yin Xiyuan looked at Luo Shihua in Qin Yi's hand, "May I take him?"

Qin Yi smiled faintly, "Why?"

"No real reason. If you must have one, it's because he is part of our Sword Sect, and I must rescue him."

Qin Yi laughed and said, "But you can't save him."

Yin Xiyuan said, "I know you're highly cultivated. But as you can see, the current situation isn't advantageous to you."

"So if I let him go, could we leave unharmed?"

Yin Xiyuan shook his head, "I'm here to kill you, so that's impossible. However, I can offer you a quick death to spare you unnecessary suffering."

"Thank you!" Qin Yi said with a smile, "But I return those words right back to you. If you fall into my hands, I will offer you a quick death."

Yin Xiyuan sighed, "So, there's no room for negotiation?"

Qin Yi said coldly, "I'm petty and vengeful, so there's no room for negotiation."

With that said, there was a crunching sound as he directly snapped Luo Shihua's neck.

Yin Xiyuan was momentarily stunned and sighed somewhat regretfully, "If I were those fools in the Sword Sect branch, I wouldn't have become your enemy. For one as decisive as you, once offended, either you should be killed or befriended."

As he spoke, the aura around Yin Xiyuan surged, a terrifying might sweeping outward. Instantly, the surrounding area within a kilometer seemed to be under his control, making everyone feel as if facing a towering mountain, with their hearts wanting to submit.

Xiao Jian and the others' faces changed dramatically, even Senior Yin frowned. Qin Yi was right; Yin Xiyuan's cultivation was indeed terrifying.

Qin Yi's aura also surged, filled with battle intent, his eyes radiating brilliance, a terrifying might sweeping in opposition to Yin Xiyuan's might.

Yin Xiyuan's might was driven by spiritual power, intimidating even those on the same level. But Qin Yi's cultivation involved Divine Thought, which was deeper than spiritual power, faintly suppressing Yin Xiyuan's might.

Yin Xiyuan furrowed his brows, somewhat puzzled, "Honestly, I'm really curious. At your age, how do you possess such astounding methods? Even if you started cultivating from the womb, it wouldn't be this terrifying."

Qin Yi smiled slightly, "There are indeed prodigies in this world."

Yin Xiyuan nodded, "I completely agree."

Qin Yi looked at him, "So, do we strike now or talk a bit more?"

Yin Xiyuan waved his hand, "No need to rush to strike, and talking isn't necessary either. You've just fought a battle, consuming quite a bit. I'll give you ten minutes to recover to peak state, then we can have an unrestricted battle."

"Actually, it's unnecessary. Killing Luo Shihua didn't consume much energy. But since you insist, I'll humbly accept. Meanwhile, I'll plan how to safely lead them away."

Yin Xiyuan laughed, "Whatever, you have ten minutes, what you do is up to you."

He didn't care, aside from Senior Yin, who could be of help, the rest around Qin Yi weren't even worth a glance. As long as he kept Qin Yi occupied, the rest were like fish on a chopping board, doomed to die.

Qin Yi returned, gathering everyone together, smiling wryly, "We've encountered a big problem this time."

Everyone's faces turned grave; the strongmen from the Sword Sect brought by Yin Xiyuan were too frightening. Let alone nine, even one couldn't be handled by them together.

Yun Mengyao said, "Do you have any ideas?"

Qin Yi shook his head, "I have no solutions now."

"I don't believe it. Your mind is so clever; how could you not have a way?"

Qin Yi smiled wryly, "In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and intrigues are futile. Coupled with Yin Xiyuan, ten experts stronger than Luo Shihua, no scheme would work unless you had the ability to escape swiftly."

Yun Mengyao grew anxious, "Then what should be done?"

Qin Yi shook his head, "It seems now the only option is to fight to the death."

Xiao Jian smiled bitterly, "What do we fight with? I may consider my cultivation strong, but none of these people can I deal with."

Qin Yi looked at Jing Wuyan, "Doesn't your Netherworld Hall stand equal to the Sword Sect, haven't you set up any experts in Sin City?"

Jing Wuyan shook his head, "Those matters are all deployed by my father, I know nothing about them."

Qin Yi looked at Xiao Jian.

Xiao Jian said, "There are, but our people are all in the north of the city. But even if we get to the north, it's useless; this time Yin Xiyuan brought the real prowess of the Sword Sect, the people the Hall Master arranged in the north are not enough."

Qin Yi was speechless, as if he hadn't said anything.

"I do have an idea," Yin Qianqian suddenly said.

Everyone instinctively looked at her.

Yin Qianqian said, "Right now, the only way is to fight to the death..."

Everyone: "..."

Does she even need to say that?

Yin Qianqian said, "Listen to me finish. Qin Yi and I fight to the death to hold these people back. You all must flee desperately; if one manages to escape, it's better than all dying here."

Everyone's faces turned solemn, falling into silence.

Qin Yi sighed, "Seems that's the only way now."

Finished, he looked at Yin Qianqian, "We should split them; I'll take one, and you take the nine."

Yin Qianqian: "..."

"You're overestimating me."

Qin Yi helplessly spread his hands, "Or you deal with Yin Xiyuan, and I'll handle the other nine."

Yin Qianqian didn't even consider: "I'd rather you handle Yin Xiyuan, and I'll take the nine." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Yin Xiyuan was too strong. Just the imposing might he displayed earlier made her heart tremble. If she confronted him, she wouldn't survive a few moves; better leave it to Qin Yi to take the risk.

"Um..." Seven-inch Snake rubbed his hands, awkwardly saying, "It seems you all have things to handle, so we'll leave you to it."

Yun Mengyao angrily said, "Cowards, if you're scared then be scared, stop pretending it sounds nice."

Seven-inch Snake smiled bitterly, "It's not that we don't want to help. These people are from the Sword Sect, if we go up, all we'll do is add casualties, completely useless."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "You may go. Remember to prepare my share, I'll come to collect it."

This time, they joined forces to open a gambling den and made quite a profit, at least ten billion.

Seven-inch Snake nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I will definitely prepare it, waiting for Qin to come take it."

In fact, Seven-inch Snake thought, you would need to survive first, right? The current situation is obviously a dead-end, impossible to crack. Ten billion, I'm laughing all the way.

Seven-inch Snake and his people quietly withdrew, Qin Yi didn't stop them, and Yin Xiyuan ignored them. To them, Seven-inch Snake was inconsequential, negligible.

Qin Yi looked at Yun Mengyao and others, saying, "Firstly, I will use the array to protect you; Senior Yin and I will try to hold up Yin Xiyuan and them. You must seize the opportunity to escape. Remember, once you step out of the Great Array, do not look back, run as fast as you can, as far as you can, head towards the north of the city, understand?"
