Twenty Kings of War

Qin Ming understood that Yang Quan said this only to save his Face.

This was the Secret Realm, after all. Everyone must have brought sufficient Medicinal Pills, so there was absolutely no need for an Alchemist to refine Medicinal Pills on the spot.

Yang Quan had no idea about his true Alchemy ability.

"If there is any place you need help, just say so," Qin Ming said with a smile.

"Good, you can walk in the middle with me!" Yang Quan invited.

"Young Master." A Martial King Martial Artist walked to Yang Quan's side and said in a low voice, "Your safety…"

"Brother Qing is a trustworthy person, it is fine." Yang Quan waved his hand to interrupt.

Qin Ming quickly said, "I had better stay by your side. These two girls are ignorant, and it would be bad if they happened to disturb you."

Qin Ming understood the concerns of these Martial Kings. Their primary goal was to protect Yang Quan, and since his own identity was unknown to these Martial Artists, it was understandable that they were uneasy about Qin Ming being too close to Yang Quan.

Yang Quan was only a Martial Spirit Martial Artist. If a Martial King Martial Artist truly wanted to assassinate him from such close proximity, there would be no possibility of failure.

"Since that is the case, then you stay by my side." Yang Quan instructed the twenty Martial Kings, "You must all protect Brother Qing well. Do not let him suffer any harm, understand?"

"Yes," the twenty Martial Kings replied.

Just like that, Qin Ming followed by Yang Quan's side, though there was a certain distance between them, and two Martial Kings stood between Qin Ming and Yang Quan.

Seeing this situation, Qin Ming secretly shook his head. If he wanted to kill Yang Quan, no matter how well they protected him, it would be of no use.

Following Yang Quan, throughout the journey, no Martial Artist dared to come and harass them.

Many Martial Artists saw their group from afar and, sensing the aura of twenty Martial Kings, were scared to death; how could they possibly come to harass them?

Through observation, Qin Ming also learned a few secrets about these twenty Martial Kings.

These twenty Martial Kings must have been carefully cultivated by the Yang Family. Individually, they were nothing special, with combat power comparable to ordinary Martial Kings.

However, they knew a set of combined attack techniques, becoming more powerful the more people there were.

Based on Qin Ming's experience, this set of combined attack techniques could absolutely go head-to-head with enemies five times their number.

Soldiers should be elite; these Martial Kings truly lived up to the word "elite."

"There are so many corpses here. I didn't expect the Secret Realm to be so dangerous," the younger sister of the Twins said in alarm as she saw the corpses on the ground.

She had always lived under her father's protection and had never seen such a scene, so she felt a bit afraid for a moment.

"This is considered few," Yang Quan said with a smile. "This is just the beginning. As we go further, the dangers will definitely increase, and at the same time, the treasures will also get better and better.

Right now, the ones dying are just Martial Grandmasters and Martial Ancestors, those who overestimate their capabilities. The dangers ahead might very well kill Martial Kings."

"Even Martial Kings will die?" the younger sister of the Twins exclaimed.

In her city, Martial Kings were the absolute top tier, but inside this Secret Realm, it felt as if Martial Kings were completely worthless.

The Feng Huo Three Brothers, although Bandits, were at least at the strength of Martial Kings, yet they were killed with two punches by this mysterious Middle-aged Man in front of her.

Experts who dominated a region outside were like chickens here, killed casually.

And this Young Master named Yang Quan even brought twenty Martial Kings with him.

Had Martial Kings become so worthless?

"The treasures are indeed becoming more precious," Qin Ming agreed. "At the beginning, it was rare to encounter ninth-grade spirit plants; most were seventh or eighth-grade spirit plants. But now, many are ninth-grade spirit plants, and the further we go, the more ninth-grade spirit plants are distributed.

Besides spirit plants, the keys here are also more abundant. Where we first entered, it was hard to find a Secret Realm key even after half a day, but now it feels like they are everywhere."

Although he had encountered several ninth-grade spirit plants, he still had not found the 'healing grass,' and Qin Ming had not used the golden Secret Realm key in his possession.

Although following Yang Quan saved a lot of trouble, and their travel speed was fast, and there was no need to worry about safety, following them made it impossible to obtain Secret Realm keys.

After all, Yang Quan had twenty Martial Kings. If these Martial Kings were to disperse, they could explore many locations, and the possibility of obtaining Secret Realm keys would be much higher than for Qin Ming.
