"Summon the Undead Knight, I will give you ten minutes," Qin Xiaoya said calmly.
"Hmph." Dawson Caymanwei snorted, then waved his hand. The members of his family stepped forward, surrounding Qin Xiaoya. Some even drew guns, pointing them at her.
"Miss Qin, you can't command me. The Undead Knight is not someone you can just summon at will. Remember, here, you must listen to me. As long as you behave yourself, I guarantee you will be spared from physical suffering. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude," Dawson Caymanwei said coldly.
"Do you really think this can threaten me?" Qin Xiaoya was unfazed.
"If you don't believe it, you can try," Dawson Caymanwei replied confidently, as he had never taken Qin Xiaoya seriously.
But just a few seconds later, Dawson Caymanwei regretted his words.
Silver light erupted from Qin Xiaoya's hands, the beams slicing through the air like flying daggers, striking the members of the Kaimanwei Family around her. The light was relentless; one by one, they fell to the ground, their bodies riddled with wounds, blood flowing freely as they cried out in agony.
"As followers of the Undead Knight, your strength is disappointingly weak," Qin Xiaoya shook her head in genuine disappointment. She had expected the Kaimanwei Family to be on par with a Hidden Sect from Huaxia, but the reality was that they relied solely on firearms and martial prowess, proving to be utterly ineffective.
It was hard to comprehend how such a family could be associated with the Undead Knight. Hadn't the Undead Knight granted them dark powers?
Dawson Caymanwei watched in horror as his family members collapsed. His body trembled slightly, whether from anger or fear he could not tell.
"You will pay for your actions today," Dawson Caymanwei's voice echoed like a roar from hell, filled with menace and terror. He turned and fled into the villa.
Qin Xiaoya was taken aback. What did this mean? A retreat at such a critical moment?
She did not rush to pursue him but instead turned to Jiang Chen. "Young Master, this Kaimanwei Family is much weaker than I anticipated."
"I don't think they're weak," Jiang Chen replied with a faint smile.
"Really?" Qin Xiaoya was somewhat surprised. She knew that if Jiang Chen said they were not weak, then they must possess some strength.
"Let's continue watching. This is also a good opportunity for you to train. In your future cultivation journey, you'll encounter more than just people," Jiang Chen said.
Qin Xiaoya nodded. With Jiang Chen's words, her expression grew serious.
Suddenly, heavy footsteps echoed from within the villa, as if a giant made of steel was approaching. Qin Xiaoya fixed her gaze on the entrance, her internal energy already in motion. Since Jiang Chen had said this would be her trial, he would not intervene easily; she had to rely on herself. Although having him nearby ensured her safety, she did not want to embarrass him.
The sound grew closer until finally, a figure clad in silver armor emerged.
"Miss Qin, there is an old saying in Huaxia: 'If you refuse a toast, you will be forced to drink a penalty.' Don't think that just because you have some martial arts skills, you can act recklessly in front of me," came Dawson Caymanwei's deep and aged voice from within the armor.
"It turns out to be you." Upon hearing the voice, Qin Xiaoya felt a sense of relief. She had initially thought that the armored knight was an Undead Knight, but it turned out to be just Dawson Caymanwei in armor.
A person is still a person, even when clad in armor.
Seemingly sensing the disdain in Qin Xiaoya's tone, Dawson Caymanwei let out a sinister laugh and swung his Knight's Sword towards her.
Qin Xiaoya did not dare to be careless; she moved like a ghost, darting out to engage Dawson Caymanwei in battle. She kicked him in the chest, but it felt as though she had struck a wall of bronze and iron. Dawson merely took a step back, completely unharmed. With her attack failing, Qin Xiaoya quickly retreated. Although she had protective spiritual energy surrounding her, her foot still throbbed with pain.
Before she could fully process this, Dawson Caymanwei's Knight's Sword came crashing down with the force of thunder.
"Boom!"
The sword struck a nearby marble flowerbed, shattering it into pieces. Qin Xiaoya couldn't understand how Dawson could move so swiftly while wearing such heavy armor.
Dawson seemed to have gone mad, swinging his sword wildly at Qin Xiaoya. As she dodged, she contemplated her strategy. The armor was too sturdy; it was not ordinary steel. Breaking through it with her bare hands was beyond her strength.
Qin Xiaoya had no intention of calling for Jiang Chen's help. After several minutes of combat, the marble floor beneath them had been completely shattered by their combined forces.
"That's right, fire!" A sudden spark of inspiration flashed in Qin Xiaoya's mind.
For powerful cultivators, forming a blazing Spirit Fire with hand seals in mid-air is simple, but for Qin Xiaoya, it was quite challenging. She had just begun her journey into cultivation and could barely breathe and circulate Spiritual Energy to nourish her body; using spells was something typically reserved for those at the Foundation Establishment Stage. However, there were some simpler spells that one could practice at the Qi Refinement Stage.
Jiang Chen had modified some basic spells and taught them to Qin Xiaoya and Ye Ling. Over the years of training, they had made some progress and could use spells during combat.
The Low-Level Fire Dragon Technique was one such spell.
Although it was a Low-Level Fire Dragon Technique and modified by Jiang Chen, it was still somewhat difficult for Qin Xiaoya to use at this moment.
Every step—chanting the incantation, forming seals, and circulating Spiritual Energy—was a test for her. She took a few steps back to create distance from Dawson Caymanwei and began to softly chant the spell while continuously forming seals with her hands. Her Spiritual Energy flowed in a special way within her body, evolving until a burst of fire erupted from her palm.
Qin Xiaoya smiled with excitement; this was the first time she used a spell in battle, and the feeling was far more exhilarating than during regular practice. She moved gracefully as the Spirit Fire coiled around Dawson Caymanwei like a bright fire dragon.
Though the armor was sturdy, it clearly did not withstand heat well. The Spirit Fire surged forth, quickly heating the armor until it became scalding hot.
Dawson Caymanwei's movements became frantic as he attempted to leap into a nearby pool of water, but Qin Xiaoya was prepared and would not let him get close.
With no other choice, Dawson had to remove his knightly armor.
