~Chapter Eight, Martial Arts Tournament, Section Six~

Seeing Dugu Hongjian repeatedly thwarted, the usually composed Du Gongfu finally spoke: "Qin Feng, you are the renowned Star River Sword Saint, known for your unwavering hatred of evil. Let me ask you, are the deeds of your third brother, Qin Ren, considered evil?"

Qin Feng gave Du Gongfu a deep look. He didn't ask questions like, "How are you still alive?" because he knew that no matter what he said, no one would believe that the real Du Gongfu was actually dead.

"What have my third brother done?" Qin Feng asked knowingly.

Du Gongfu nodded, looked at Lianzhou Fenghua, and said, "Patriarch Lianzhou, I hope your daughter and niece will come forward as witnesses!"

Lianzhou Fenghua nodded, looked at Lianzhou Luo'er and Qin Ni'er, and said, "Luo'er, Ni'er, don't worry. Although Qin Feng and the others are incredibly powerful, justice resides in the hearts of the people. Besides, our experts haven't even been deployed yet! Just tell the truth, and the heroes of the world will uphold justice for you."

Lianzhou Luo'er and Qin Ni'er nodded blankly. Lianzhou Fenghua then said to Zhen Luo beside Qin Ni'er, "Miss Zhen Luo, the principles of justice in the martial world rest on your shoulders. I know your..." "Your ordeal has been quite tragic, but I, Lian Zhou Feng Hua, hereby guarantee that as long as you tell the truth, the world will uphold justice for you! Moreover, if anyone dares to mock you even slightly in the future, I, Lian Zhou Feng Hua, will personally take their life!"

Zhen Luo, veiled and not daring to reveal her true face lest she cause most of the men present to faint, nodded and said softly, "I naturally believe what Patriarch Lian Zhou says, but the Xiaoyao Manor is quite powerful. If I testify against Qin Ren here, what if Xiaoyao Manor retaliates against me later?"

Lian Zhou Feng Hua smiled confidently and said, "From today onwards, Xiaoyao Manor will become history!"

"In that case, I can rest assured."

The three women stood up, walked to the wooden platform, and gazed at the Third Young Master.

The Third Young Master also looked at the three women, his face adorned with an extremely gentle smile, like the spring sunshine, his star-like eyes gleaming with boundless affection.

His eyes, filled with deep affection, carried a faint trace of vicissitude and an overwhelming, unyielding sorrow, as if lamenting the bitterness and helplessness of unrequited love.

It was a pain that could pierce to the very bone, a pain that would wound any naive young girl, and even seasoned, experienced women of desire would find few able to resist such a gaze.

This was the Third Young Master's self-created, ultimate lover's technique: the "Weary and Bewitching Eyes"!

And following this heart-wrenching, almost intoxicating gaze, the Third Young Master dropped another bombshell, no less powerful than the "Weary and Bewitching Eyes."

He parted his lips slightly, revealing his pearly teeth, and mouthed a sentence: "These past few days, I thought I had forgotten you. But upon seeing you again, I realized that I hadn't forgotten you. I have engraved you deep in my soul, imprinted you into my very bones..."

This was the Lover's ultimate technique: the "Deeply Affectionate, Overwhelmingly Sweet-Talking, Heart-Bending Technique"!

No one could describe how domineering this technique was, nor could anyone know just how powerful it was.

Even Qin Feng and the others standing beside the Third Young Master only saw his lips move slightly before the eyes of Lian Zhou, Luo'er, and the other two women on the wooden platform were already glistening with tears!

"What terrifying power!" Qiao Wei's body trembled violently, his heart filled with astonishment!

"Heavens! The Third Young Master's move already possesses thirty percent of my old Li's power from back then! Truly a genius!" Uncle Li's body trembled violently, unable to conceal his astonishment.

A heart stronger than gold, a love deeper than the sea.

The supreme love saint, invincible under heaven!

Lian Zhou and Luo'er were defeated, utterly defeated.

Qin Ni'er was also defeated, routed and defeated.

Those who haven't experienced escaping death from the Third Young Master's clutches wouldn't know, those who haven't thought they were doomed but not only survived but also severely injured the Third Young Master wouldn't know, and those who haven't heard the Third Young Master's sweet words would certainly not know!

Lian Zhouluo'er and Qin Ni'er already owed the Third Young Master their lives. No matter how proud, aloof, or cunning they were, they were still young girls in the prime of their lives, still at an age where they loved to dream.

Therefore, they lost; against the Third Young Master, they didn't even have a 50% chance of winning.

As for Zhen Luo, perhaps she was the only woman who wouldn't truly lose to the Third Young Master. Even though her eyes were already misty with tears, she was inwardly sneering.

"All men are the same! Sweet talk and flattery, is that all you've got? With just that, what right do you have to make this world a place of male supremacy? What right do you men have to hold power? Women are not appendages of men; women deserve a place in this world. No, not just a place, but to hold up half the sky! Qin Ren, you're good. You're capable, responsible, and ambitious! I, Zhen Luo, finally gained my freedom from Gongzi Yu, so let me use your power to rise to the top! You rule the world, and I will rule the world. Then one day, I will make the phoenix suppress the dragon, and the world will only bow to the phoenix!"

There is something called ambition in this world, and anyone with power will have ambition. Not just men, women have it too.

But whether ambition will change because of love is unknown.

"Luo'er, speak up, everyone is waiting for you!" Seeing that the three women, Lian Zhou and Luo'er, hadn't spoken for a long time, Lian Zhou Feng Hua urged them impatiently.

Lianzhou Luo'er glanced at Lianzhou Fenghua, bit her lip, lowered her head, and said, "Daughter...daughter and Qin Ren, in fact, are mutually in love..."

Lianzhou Fenghua's expression immediately changed.

"I, Qin Ni'er, always speak my mind. Although Qin Ren is a very annoying boy, I like him. Seeing how hard he worked to pursue me, I gave him a little something. It's not that he used any underhanded methods." Qin Ni'er's words were shocking, and the room erupted in an uproar.

Zhen Luo, with her head down, said, "Third Young Master saved Zhen Luo's life, and Zhen Luo is willing to serve Third Young Master for life."

"Damn it, this is outrageous!" someone immediately howled on the spot.

Lian Zhou Feng Hua's expression changed drastically, but being a shrewd and calculating man, he didn't erupt in anger on the spot. He simply said coldly, "Since that's the case, Luo'er, I sever my father-daughter relationship with you. From this day forward, you are no longer a daughter of the Lian Zhou family! As for Ni'er, you are not a member of the Lian Zhou family, and I can't control you! You may leave!"

Lian Zhou Tian Xiong snorted coldly, glancing at the three women with utter contempt, and said, "In this world, there must be adulterers for adulterous women to exist; neither can be lacking."

Lian Zhou Tian Ying nodded and snorted coldly, "Father's punishment is already very lenient. If I were to judge, I would sentence all three of you to drown in bamboo cages!"

Lian Zhou Luo'er looked at her father and brothers pitifully, hesitating to speak. Qin Ni'er pulled Lian Zhou, Luo'er, and Zhen Luo, saying, "The world is cold and heartless. Even one's own father and brothers are like this. How many people in the world can be trusted? Cousin, Luo'er, let's not waste our breath on them. Let's go!"

She pulled the two women down from the wooden platform and walked towards the Third Young Master and the others.

The Third Young Master grinned foolishly at the three women. Seeing his silly look, Qin Ni'er couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Little brat, look how pleased you are!" Then she gritted her teeth and said, "Today I'm doing this for the greater good. This martial arts tournament is nothing but a huge conspiracy. But don't think I'll let you off the hook! After today, I'll beat you up to vent my anger!"

The Third Young Master nodded and bowed, smiling, "Of course, of course! Sister Ni'er, you're thinking of the greater good. I'm extremely grateful and admire you!"

Du Gongfu smiled sinisterly and said, "Indeed, impressive! Qin Ren, it's a waste of your talent that you're not an actor!" He then looked at Ye Yingxue and said, "Hall Master Ye, you wouldn't be protecting this little thief Qin Ren like Lian Zhou and Luo Er, would you?"

Ye Yingxue stood up, her face pale. She clenched her fists, her lips bitten until they were blue.

The Third Young Master looked at Ye Yingxue, but he didn't have any good ideas on how to deal with her. He had only spent one night with this woman and hadn't had any deeper emotional connection with her, so he didn't know how to deal with her. However, the Third Young Master wasn't afraid. So what if Ye Yingxue accused him? Anyway, this martial arts tournament was a huge conspiracy. Everyone had their own ulterior motives, and reasoning wouldn't work. In the end, it would all be resolved by force.

"Qin Ren... didn't do anything to me." Ye Yingxue suddenly said this, which shocked everyone present, even the Third Young Master.

After saying this, Ye Yingxue slumped back into her chair, her body trembling.

Her words were completely against her will; in her heart, she wished she could devour the Third Young Master's flesh raw and sleep on his skin every night. However, she was ultimately a strong-willed woman. In her view, even if the Third Young Master needed to be killed, she should do it herself, not through someone else.

Du Gongfu nodded and said, "Indeed… you and Qin Ren are nothing but an adulterous couple!" He then looked at Du Xiaoyan, who was standing with the three of them, and said sarcastically, "My dear daughter, what do you have to say to your father?"

Du Xiaoyan glanced at Du Gongfu and fearlessly shouted, "You are not my father at all!"

Du Gongfu nodded and said, "Good, well said! Fellow martial artists, you all see, now even my own daughter doesn't recognize me! At this point, you must have already guessed the truth. Indeed, Qin Ren is unauthorized…" "He used his demonic arts to bewitch these women, making them completely obedient to him!"

After a pause, Du Gongfu said with a face full of sorrow, "Even my daughter has fallen under his spell, and she doesn't even recognize me, her own father, for him! This little devil Qin Ren... he really cannot be allowed to live! If he lives, the martial world will be thrown into chaos, and the common people will surely suffer! Fellow martial artists, for the sake of the greater good of the world, I, Du Gongfu, have no choice but to sacrifice my own family for the greater good. I implore you heroes... please take their lives!"

As he spoke, tears streamed down his face, and he looked as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

Dugu Hongjian hypocritically comforted him, "Master Du, everyone knows you are fair and selfless. Miss Du has only been bewitched by Qin Ren's demonic arts; her crime does not warrant death. In my opinion, as long as Qin Ren is killed, the demonic arts on Miss Du and the others will dissipate on their own..."

"But, having raised such a daughter, I, Du Gongfu, have failed the heroes of the world!" Du Gongfu looked grief-stricken, his face full of sorrow.

The Third Young Master shook his head and sighed, "Damn it, how come this guy is even better at acting than me? Sigh, I've got another strong competitor for the Oscar!"

Dugu Hongjian comforted Du Gongfu for a few moments, then turned to Qin Feng with a righteous expression and said, "Star River Sword Saint, let's set aside Qin Ren's cultivation of mind-controlling demonic arts for now. May I ask, how does Star River Sword Saint think this matter should be handled—Qin Ren injured the Mad Thunder Blade God Qin Lei for the sake of Hua Linglong, the daughter of the Grand Tutor Hua Anhua? The Mad Thunder Blade God is also your brother. Qin Ren beat his own brother into a living dead for a woman; such a heartless and insane person, does Star River Sword Saint intend to protect him?"

Qin Feng coldly replied, "What's it to you? This is a private matter of our Qin family! Even if my third brother really injured my second brother, and he needs to be punished, whether by beating or killing him, it should be handled by our Qin family. What business is it of you outsiders? Besides, my second brother isn't even..." "My third brother injured him!"

Dugu Hongjian laughed three times, saying, "Everyone should mind their own business! Your Xiaoyao Qin family is corrupt from top to bottom, so these matters can only be handled by us outsiders! Young Master Qin, do you dare to invite Miss Hua Linglong out for a confrontation? Miss Hua is the person involved, she knows the details best!"

The Third Young Master said with interest, "Oh? Everyone should mind their own business? So you want to 'enter' my Xiaoyao Manor and maintain peace by force? Very well, since you want to interfere in my Qin family's affairs, then I, Qin Ren, also want to interfere in yours! Hmm, heroes here, how many girls can you play with in one night? Don't be shy, tell me so I can find out and do a little bit of management! Ladies here, how many men can you serve in one night? Do you have an orgasm? Have you ever squirted? Don't be so shy, tell me so we can discuss it!"

"You utter such foul language! What kind of behavior is this!" Dugu Hongjian said righteously and sternly, "Qin Ren, you have corrupted the social atmosphere, misled young children, angered the heavens, and brought about natural disasters and man-made calamities! As a result, people have been displaced, cries of sorrow are everywhere, famine is rampant, and countless orphans and widows have been left! And you still dare to spout such nonsense here?"

The Third Young Master was stunned: "What the hell? I brought about all these natural disasters and man-made calamities? My crimes have already angered the heavens?"

Du Gongfu secretly tugged at Dugu Hongjian's sleeve and whispered, "Don't go too far. Not many people will believe you. Say something real."

Dugu Hongjian was taken aback, then realized what he meant and said, "Qin Feng, let's not say anything else. Please bring Miss Hua out for a confrontation!"

Just as Qin Feng was about to speak, a voice as loud as thunder rang out: "No need. I, Qin Lei, will personally answer your questions!"

~Chapter Nine: The Wrongful One Has a Head, the Debtor Has a Responsible One~

The knife was like lightning, the voice like thunder.

A nine-foot-tall giant, with a powerful stride, walked with a thunderous roar, the stone slabs beneath his feet creaking under his weight.

A long sword, dripping blood, rested across his shoulder; his thin-soled boots were stained with blood, each step leaving a gruesome, bloody footprint!

The Mad Thunder Sword God, Qin Lei, had arrived!

He carried a sword in one hand and a blood-soaked, glaring head in the other, stepping into the center of the training ground under the watchful eyes of thousands!

"A single stroke of my blade severs the bandit's head; watch me march through blood!"

Qin Feng's eyes lit up, staring intently at Qin Lei, a rare, warm smile appearing on his lips.

The Third Young Master also smiled; he had never smiled so brightly before, a smile unforgettable to all.

Qin Lei also smiled, looking at his two brothers; a rugged, heroic, yet infinitely warm smile bloomed on his still blood-stained face!

"Second Brother!" "Second Brother!" "Eldest Brother, Third Brother!"

After a casual greeting, the three brothers finally gathered together for the first time.

Without many words, a glance, a smile, was enough to express their feelings. Men are often not good at expressing themselves; sweet words often cannot represent their true feelings. But when they are silent, the deepest affection and tenderness contained within that silence is the most captivating.

Tie Jian and Tie Xuanxuan also came over, looking Qin Lei up and down. Tie Jian laughed, "Ah Lei, you're quite strong! Didn't they say you were beaten to a pulp? How come you look perfectly fine now? Hmm… your skill…"

Tie Xuanxuan said, "Cousin Lei, you seem even stronger than before?"

Qin Lei laughed heartily, saying, "To be reborn from the ashes, to survive from the brink of death! Haven't you heard that those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune?"

Tie Jian and Tie Xuanxuan nodded thoughtfully. Qin Lei was beaten half to death, but who could have imagined that when he awoke from his desperate situation, his skills would have improved even further? This is probably the meaning of "destruction before construction."

Lian Zhouluo'er, Qin Ni'er, Zhen Luo, Li Xiaoye, and Du Xiaoyan secretly observed the three Qin brothers standing together, comparing them in their hearts.

Qin Feng was like a bottomless, calm well, his sharpness completely concealed, and no one could fathom his depths. His aura was now completely restrained; if he were thrown into a crowd, he would be easily lost in the sea of people, and no one would be able to find him. Therefore, Qin Feng should be described as "calm as water."

Qin Lei was like a bolt of lightning constantly rolling in the clouds, every part of him brimming with dynamism and power. He was like a peerless divine weapon that made no attempt to conceal its sharpness, arrogantly and unrestrainedly displaying its power and edge to the world. Therefore, Qin Lei should be described as "raging like thunder."

And Qin Ren, how should one accurately describe him? Among the three brothers, the one with the least distinct temperament and the most changeable is probably the Third Young Master. No one can find a single word to describe him. If one had to describe him most accurately, it would be that the Third Young Master is a person made from a lump of mud. Only mud can change shape at any time, and can express the appropriate temperament at the right time at will.

What temperament can mud have? Stick it to a wall, it will flow downwards, in short, it's vulgar…

But this pile of mud also contains some gold dust; you can always find a golden glimmer in the mud's occasional burst of energy.

The three brothers, with their distinct personalities, stood together and gave off a sense of perfect harmony, even an invincible and terrifying feeling!

So when the three brothers stood together, Lian Zhou Feng Hua shook his head and sighed, "It's too late." Then he whispered to Lian Zhou Tian Xiong and Lian Zhou Tian Ying, "Find an opportunity to take our people out of Tianping Manor. Remember, Du Gongfu, Dugu Hongjian, the Baiyue Sect, the Yidao Alliance, the Zhao family of Beihai, and the Zhou family of Lianyun are our people. Don't clash with them."

Lian Zhou Tian Xiong asked doubtfully, "Why leave? Are we so many people that we can't do anything to the three Qin brothers?"

Lian Zhou Feng Hua shook his head and said, "Do you think everyone here will genuinely want to deal with the Qin brothers? Many forces came to uphold justice, but now that Qin Lei has appeared, the accusations against Qin Ren have largely failed. Those self-proclaimed chivalrous gangs won't attack the Qin brothers anymore. Besides, the three killing gods are here too. The Qin brothers, along with the three killing gods and the Tie siblings, are enough to clear out most of the area. And..." Lian Zhou Feng Hua turned to Qiao Wei and... Uncle Li glanced at them and said, "Time Flies and Illusionary Demon Lord... Either one of them could fight me to a draw. If they both attacked, I wouldn't last ten moves."

Lian Zhou Tianxiong exclaimed, "Those two are Time Flies and Illusionary Demon Lord? Father, how did you know..."

Lian Zhou Fenghua interrupted his son, "If I didn't know the situation, I'm afraid I wouldn't escape death today. I'll hint to Du Gongfu and Dugu Hongjian to muddy the waters, and you can take the opportunity to leave. Preserving your strength is the most important thing. Hmph, the foundation of Tianping Manor has been completely hollowed out. There are a full 30,000 jin of explosives. Once detonated, apart from a master with my skills, no one else will survive! Hehe... The Qin brothers are in the center of the training ground with the most explosives. If the explosives detonate, even if they don't die, they will be seriously injured. And those who are seriously injured can be slaughtered at will by us, right?"

Lian Zhou Tianxiong and Lian Zhou Tianying were immediately filled with admiration and went to prepare according to their father's instructions.

Although the two men longed to test their skills against the Sword Saint and the Blade God, their lives were of paramount importance. Besides, if the Qin brothers perished here, wouldn't Lian Zhou Tianxiong, the second-ranked swordsman in the martial world, rise to the first? And wouldn't Lian Zhou Tianying, the second-ranked blade warrior, also rise to the first?

Many others shared the same thoughts as Lian Zhou Fenghua. Those gangs that had secretly allied themselves with a powerful mastermind issued orders after Qin Lei's appearance, and many prepared to flee.

Meanwhile, those righteous gangs, still unaware of the truth and nominally invited to uphold justice but actually there to facilitate a complete purge, began to discuss the matter after Qin Lei's arrival.

The Mad Thunder Blade God appeared unharmed, and judging from the scene of the three brothers' meeting, there seemed to be no conflict whatsoever. Therefore, the biggest accusation against Qin Ren—that he was heartless and wanted to kill his brother for a woman—could not be established.

The claim that Qin Ren was a womanizer had long been refuted by the denials of Lian Zhou, Luo Er, and other women. While it's not uncommon to distort the truth and call a deer a horse, what can these righteous gangs, who are here to uphold justice, do now that the victim is unwilling to testify?

If Qin Ren committed murder, it was because the other party wanted to kill him first; Qin Ren was merely acting in self-defense.

These martial artists, from the moment they take up swords, are prepared to be killed.

Feuds in the martial world are unavoidable; being killed is simply a matter of personal fault for insufficient skill. If the killer didn't intend to kill, they can't be considered wrong.

Meanwhile, Lei Daoshen surveyed his surroundings and loudly proclaimed, "Fellow martial artists, we have gathered here because of the evil deeds that have been widely circulated about my brother in the martial world, the most serious of which is the murder of his brother. Today, Qin Lei personally guarantees that my brother Qin Ren was framed! The

person who injured Qin Lei was someone else, not my brother! And that person was also acting against his will." The reason that person injured Qin Lei was because she was hit by the "Puppet Needle" of the Demonic Sect's "Puppet Hall," and was manipulated, involuntarily striking Qin Lei. Afterwards, she was also affected by the "Mind-Bending Technique" of the Demonic Sect's "Mind-Bending Sect," and was manipulated into saying things detrimental to my third brother.

"But Heaven has eyes! My father had an association with a senior member of the Demonic Sect in his younger days and knew a little about their martial arts. Therefore, he was able to rescue Qin Lei and break the demonic spell on the person being manipulated. So, Qin Lei can vouch for my brother; he has been wronged, and everything was orchestrated by the Demonic Sect to throw the righteous path into chaos so they could unify the martial world!"

After Qin Lei finished speaking, those from the righteous sects who had come to uphold justice were already seventy or eighty percent convinced. Those with ulterior motives, however, sighed inwardly, realizing their scheme had been exposed and their opportunity lost, and prepared to resort to their last resort.

On the platform, Du Gongfu declared with an air of righteous indignation, “Fellow martial artists, do not believe this man’s nonsense! This man is an imposter; he is not Qin Lei at all! He is merely a substitute, wearing a human skin mask, here to distort the truth! As you all just heard, Qin Lei himself admitted that Qin Xiaoyao had associated with members of the Demonic Sect in his early years. Tell me, how can someone who has associated with members of the Demonic Sect be a true gentleman? This scheme must have been devised by Qin Xiaoyao himself, willing to use deception to protect the reputation of his Xiaoyao Manor and exonerate Qin Ren!”

Upon hearing Du Gongfu’s words, those with ulterior motives immediately echoed him, creating a commotion and chaos.

Those who had initially believed Qin Lei’s words to a great extent, now hesitated again after Du Gongfu’s explanation.

Those people thought: Du Gongfu has a good reputation in the martial arts world. He is known as the most public-spirited person in the world and is the most fair person. He shouldn't be lying, right?

Qin Lei, enraged, laughed coldly, shaking his head and saying, "I am the genuine article, and you, the imposter, accuse me of being a counterfeit! My father was right after all; there are true heroes and valiant men in the Demonic Sect, and there are also despicable and shameless individuals in the righteous path!"

With that, he hurled the severed head he was carrying towards the platform, shouting, "Who is this man ? I'm sure you, Du Gongfu, know very well!"

Du Gongfu flicked his finger, a wisp of wind shattering the head into a cloud of blood mist, coldly replying, "How would I know who this man is?"

Qin Lei roared, "A fine hand at destroying evidence! But so what if you've destroyed the evidence? I, Qin Lei, have exchanged three blows with this man and already know his background! He is none other than

Wu Zhenhai, one of the four guardians of the Demonic Sect, 'Nine Heavens Thunder'!" Qin Lei's words moved everyone present.

Wu Zhenhai, one of the four guardians of the Demonic Sect, was beheaded in just three moves by Qin Lei? Just how powerful has Qin Lei become?

Qin Lei continued, "When I arrived at Tianping Manor, I was intercepted outside by Wu Zhenhai and his thirty-six swordsmen from the Demonic Sect's 'Mysterious Cloud Sect.' After slaying all the Mysterious Cloud Sect swordsmen, I killed Wu Zhenhai. Then, on my way from outside the manor, all the guards of Tianping Manor were replaced by disciples from the three sects and five halls of the Demonic Sect. I killed one hundred and seventy-two Demonic Sect disciples before I was able to enter the venue! Du Gongfu, let me ask you, when did all the disciples in your manor become members of the Demonic Sect? Or are you yourself simply a lackey of the Demonic Sect?"

Qin Lei's words caused a huge uproar. Those with righteous hearts immediately stood up, leaped off the wooden platform, and surged towards the main stage, shouting, "Du Gongfu, is what Lei Daoshen said true?"

"Du Gongfu, Lei Daoshen never lies. Have you really colluded with the Demonic Sect?"

"Du Gongfu, if you're a man, speak the truth! Put your hand on your conscience and swear to everyone that you, Du Gongfu, are upright and honest! Don't you dare? It seems Lei Daoshen didn't frame you!"

Seeing the crowd's agitation, the disciples of Tianping Manor who were maintaining order rushed to the main stage, forming a human wall to prevent the crowd from charging.

No one noticed that, taking advantage of the chaos, many people had quietly left their respective wooden platforms and sneaked out of Tianping Manor.

Meanwhile, the gang leaders who were of the same ilk as Du Gongfu quietly led their men around to the main stage and stood with Du Gongfu and Dugu Hongjian.

These people included: Zuo Tianzong, the current leader of the Moon Worship Cult, along with his two Moon Guardians and three elders; Heng Tianwang, the leader of the One-Sword Alliance, known as "One-Sword Overturning the City," and five sword commanders; Zhao Ziyang, the head of the Zhao family of Beihai, and seven guest elders; Zhou Lingfei, the head of the Zhou family of Lianyun, and three guest elders; Lianzhou Fenghua, the head of the Lianzhou family; and three of the four great constables of the Jianghu government: Yun Feijing, known as "Iron Hand Ruthless"; Lu Dayou, known as "Soul Chaser"; and Zhu Hong, known as "Burning Passion".

"Your Majesty, things are beyond saving. It's time to strike decisively," Lianzhou Fenghua whispered in Du Gongfu's ear.

"Du Gongfu" nodded, a smile on his face: "Very good, the three Qin brothers are all capable of handling things on their own. Hmm, Patriarch Lianzhou, if Qin Xiaoyao and Tie Kongshan hadn't come, I wouldn't have made a move. If you can kill the Qin brothers, I'll let you have your way. If you can't, these three brothers will be my men from now on, and you can't lay a hand on them again!"

Lianzhou Fenghua's lips curled into a sinister smile: "Your Majesty, after the explosion, with the men Your Majesty and Young Master Yu have laid in ambush, will the Qin brothers be able to escape alive?"

~Chapter Nine: The Wrongful One Has a Head, the Debt Has a Debtor, Section Two~

"Du Gongfu" smiled slightly: "I only use capable people. If they can't even get past this hurdle, why should I waste my energy on them?"

Dugu Hongjian also came over, grinning sinisterly: "Your Majesty, you see, almost everyone has gathered in the training ground. Shouldn't we detonate it?"

"Du Gongfu" nodded, glanced at Lian Zhou Fenghua, and said, "Patriarch Lian Zhou, your daughter is still downstairs. Shouldn't you call her over, so as not to..."

"No need," Lian Zhou Fenghua sneered. "My daughter was just a bargaining chip. I thought she could do me some good this time, but who knew she was such a vile woman! It's better to have one less daughter like that!"

"Du Gongfu" chuckled and said, "Patriarch Lian Zhou, a petty person is no gentleman!"

Lian Zhou Fenghua smiled darkly, "Your Majesty, we're alike. No poison, no hero!"

The people on the platform immediately smiled knowingly, laughing heartily and fearlessly.

The Third Young Master and the others, who were no longer the target of everyone's criticism, looked at "Du Gongfu" and the others on the platform, all showing that so-called "evil smile," and felt it was somewhat absurd.

"Are they crazy? How can they still have the mind to laugh at a time like this?" the Third Young Master said.

“It’s hard to defy public anger. Now, that fake Du Gongfu not only doesn’t explain himself, but he’s laughing with everyone around him. This will make everyone think he doesn’t take them seriously. This is going to be interesting,” Qiao Wei said leisurely.

“Not necessarily,” Uncle Li said in a deep voice. “They might have something bigger going on, otherwise those people wouldn’t be laughing so lewdly.”

Just then, everyone saw “Du Gongfu” flick his wrist and throw out a signal arrow. The arrow rose into the air and exploded with a bang, the burst of smoke forming a huge skull.

Qiao Wei’s expression changed and he said, “The Demonic Sect’s signal!”

Third Young Master frowned and said, “Are the people of the Demonic Sect so lacking in aesthetics? Why do they have to bring out a whole skull, as if they’re afraid people won’t know they’re from the Demonic Sect? A whole axe would look much better!”

As soon as Third Young Master finished speaking, the ground beneath everyone’s feet suddenly trembled violently, followed by a series of deep rumbling sounds. The white flagstone ground cracked open, the ground continuously collapsing, thick smoke mixed with flames billowing from the surface, carrying a pungent smell of sulfur and gunpowder.

"Damn it, there's explosives buried underground!" Uncle Li's warning had barely sounded when an even more violent explosion erupted.

"Boom boom boom..." A series of deafening roars, as if the heavens and earth were splitting apart, echoed without pause. Earth and rocks flew everywhere, flames soared into the sky, and the entire training ground almost simultaneously sank downwards before violently erupting upwards.

The deafening explosions drowned out the screams of those dying, and the martial arts practitioners gathered in the center of the training ground were blasted to pieces. Blood rained down, limbs flew everywhere; those martial arts masters, despite their formidable skills, were completely powerless to protect themselves, watching helplessly as the flagstones beneath their feet cracked, and then a burst of heat tore their bodies to pieces.

Some skilled light-footed martial artists leaped into the air the instant the ground cracked open, only to be riddled with holes by the flying stone slabs. The shattered slabs, sharpened by the explosive force, were even sharper than steel blades, easily tearing those who had leaped into the air to shreds, their blood adding a crimson stain to the ravaged ground.

As soon as the first explosion rang out, Qin Lei roared, his Thunderous Blade crackling with blue sparks, and cleaved the ground before him, shattering the already cracked surface into a crater nearly five zhang in diameter.

At the same moment Qin Lei struck, the flames and shockwaves from the underground explosives erupted upwards.

Qin Feng attacked at that moment, pointing his halberd finger at the crater, a whirlwind of sword energy emanating from his fingertip, whistling as it met the flames and shockwaves of the explosion.

At the same time, the Third Young Master also made his move. He struck out with his palm following Qin Feng's sword energy, the surging palm force merging with Qin Feng's

sword energy into a golden whirlwind that forcefully suppressed the upward-rushing fire waves and shockwaves. Then, Qiao Wei and Uncle Li attacked simultaneously, each striking out with their palms towards the large pit. The pit, already expanded to a depth of one zhang by the power of the Thunder Blade God and the explosives, sank another two zhang, becoming a giant pit three zhang deep.

Next, the Third Young Master and the others all leaped into the large pit.

The three brothers, the three killing gods, Qiao Wei, Uncle Li, Tie Jian, Tie Xuanxuan, Lian Zhou Luo'er, Qin Ni'er, Zhen Luo, Li Xiaoye, and Du Xiaoyan—a total of fifteen people—stood at the bottom of the large pit. The Third Young Master and all the men formed a circle, surrounding the girls in the middle, each exerting their strength to shatter all the rocks falling from above.

After the three disciples entered the large pit, some people standing closer to the Third Young Master and his group noticed it and rushed towards it, hoping to escape the explosion.

However, the entire training ground was buried with explosives, and now all the explosives detonated almost simultaneously. Most of those trying to rush into the pit were blown to pieces the moment they started moving, and the very few lucky ones were pulverized by the flying debris halfway through. In the end, only three of the luckiest individuals reached the edge of the pit, shouting "Help!" as they jumped in.

However, one of these three was the most unfortunate because he was at the front, and his cries for help were drowned out by the explosion. Uncle Li mistook him for a rock and smashed him to pieces with a palm strike.

The last two lucky ones landed safely in the pit. The two who had survived had countless holes burned in their clothes, most of their hair burned off, and many bloody holes from the rocks on their bodies, looking quite miserable.

The two men stood at the bottom of the pit, grinning and bowing repeatedly to the Third Young Master and his companions. They introduced themselves, "I am Zhao Yingyue, the master of the Chuixue Pavilion. Thank you for your rescue, young masters! Hehe, speaking of which, I am the senior brother of Ye Yingxue, the master of the Chuixue Hall in Jiangnan..." The implication was obvious.

"I am Ye Yingxue's fellow disciple, and you, Third Young Master Qin, had a one-night stand with my junior sister, so we must have some close relationship, right?" The other man said, "I am Lu Feihong, the head of the Fengyue Hall in Jiangnan. Please give me your guidance..."

The explosions outside were still going on, but they were no longer as deafening and continuous as before. The number of falling rocks had also decreased significantly, making it easier for Qiao Wei and Uncle Li to handle.

As he brushed the dust off his clothes and head, the Third Young Master said to the two men, "It's fate that we meet, no need for formalities. Hmm, Master Lu, I've heard that your Fengyue Hall is most skilled in medicine making. Those famous aphrodisiacs all come from your hall. I wonder if Master Lu..."

Lu Feihong was a shrewd character. Upon hearing this, he immediately took out three porcelain bottles from his person and bowed as he handed them to the Third Young Master, "Third Young Master, these are the most effective elixirs from our hall. Taking one pill will keep you effective for a whole month, guaranteeing that you, Young Master..."

The Third Young Master interrupted him righteously, "Don't say anymore, I know very well! I am at the prime of my life, why would I need drugs to stimulate myself?" As he spoke, he swiftly snatched the porcelain bottles from Lu Feihong's hands and stuffed them into his own pocket.

Seeing Lu Feihong's dumbfounded expression, the Third Young Master thought to himself, "It's better than nothing. This aphrodisiac, although it's useless to me, can still be used to give as a favor in the future! Or, if I ever overindulge and suffer from kidney deficiency, I can take some to replenish my kidneys! No one in the martial arts world can always win, and the same principle applies in bed!"

The explosions finally gradually subsided, and the groans of the dying could gradually be heard.

Qin Feng's face was ashen, and he said coldly, "Now, the righteous martial arts world of the Great Qin Empire has been wiped out in one fell swoop!"

Qin Lei nodded and said, "I never imagined that this martial arts tournament was actually manipulated by the Demonic Sect behind the scenes! It's a pity I discovered it too late. What's even more unexpected is that Du Gongfu had already colluded with the Demonic Sect, gathering all the

righteous martial arts here to wipe them out in one fell swoop!" Qiao Wei sighed, "That Du Gongfu has a reputation for chivalry, but in reality, he's a beast. If it weren't for his reputation as the most fair person in the martial arts world, who would have gathered at Tianping Manor without any defenses, allowing the Demonic Sect to annihilate them all in one fell swoop? Those gang leaders on the platform were probably already in cahoots with the Demonic Sect!"

After a moment of sighing, the crowd heard that the explosions above had completely subsided, and one after another, they jumped out of the pit.

As soon as they emerged from the pit, they saw a scene of utter devastation, like a living hell.

The entire training ground had been blasted down to a depth of nearly ten feet. Except for the main platform, all the wooden platforms on all four sides had been completely destroyed. The once flat training ground was now a ruin, riddled with craters and rubble.

Not a single intact person could be seen; almost every piece of rubble was stained red with blood, and every inch of soil was covered in blood. Limbs were scattered everywhere, the largest being only a slightly intact thigh.

Patches of flesh clung to the rubble, and bloodied internal organs were everywhere, some still slowly wriggling. There were even intestines, some as long as five feet and as short as an inch, entwined with rubble and dismembered bodies.

The stench of blood, gunpowder, and sulfur mingled together in the air, a pungent, strange odor that made one want to vomit. This scene, akin to a living hell, was incredibly visually striking. So, as soon as the Third Young Master and his companions jumped out of the pit and saw the situation, Lian Zhou, Luo Er, and the other women all paled and bent over, vomiting violently.

Zhao Yingyue, whose name sounded rather feminine, also vomited like a woman. Seeing her vomiting so dramatically, even splashing acid onto his shoes, the Third Young Master, impatient, kicked her back into the pit.

Fengyue Hall Master Lu Feihong smiled bitterly, saying, "Damn it, all the branch hall masters and the most capable disciples I brought seem to be gone… Ugh…" He quickly covered his mouth and, without the Third Young Master's intervention, jumped into the pit himself.

The Third Young Master and his group looked towards the platform. The platform was intact; "Du Gongfu" and the others standing on it were unharmed, while the disciples of Tianping Manor who had been maintaining order below, along with the members of the righteous sects, had all met their demise.

Qin Feng said in a deep voice, "Except for the platform, explosives were planted everywhere in the training ground. However, the fire and shockwave from the explosion would have thrown rocks onto the platform, but none of the people on the platform were injured. Obviously, they used their own skills to keep the fire and rocks out."

Qin Lei said, "The remaining people are all extraordinary. It would be strange if the explosion affected them. The only thing I don't understand is who that imposter Du Gongfu is. Why do all those high-ranking experts seem to follow his lead?"

Uncle Li thought for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed: "Could it be Ximen Wudi?" The

"Du Gongfu" and the others were also greatly surprised to see that the Third Young Master and the others were unharmed.

"Du Gongfu" nodded and sighed, "To emerge unscathed from such a violent explosion is truly remarkable!"

Dugu Hongjian laughed, "So what if they're unscathed? Now there are only a dozen or so of them left. Even if the people arranged by the Supreme and Young Master Yu can't kill them, they can exhaust their power. Add to that the people of us, and the three Qin brothers are doomed! Supreme, your plan to subdue the Qin brothers is likely to fail!"

"Du Gongfu" smiled slightly and said, "It's too early to draw conclusions now. The Qin brothers always manage to create infinite possibilities in the most unlikely situations. Until the very last moment, no one can say that the Qin brothers are doomed." As he spoke, he flicked his hand and fired a signal arrow. After the arrow exploded, the sound of clothes rustling through the air rang out continuously, and countless men in black flew towards the training ground from all directions.

Among the men in black, the leaders were five people wearing black robes, hoods, and ghost masks.

Their movements were elusive and unpredictable; all of them had their hands behind their backs, legs together and motionless, as if they were floating on the wind.

Seven other men, dressed in seven different colors of clothing—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—with hoods covering their heads, revealing only their eyes, ears, noses, and mouths, were followed by nearly three hundred people dressed

in flamboyant colors. They rushed towards the center of the training ground, clearly separated from the men in black. "Although only one of the 'Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning' factions, 'Wind Blade and Frost Sword' Gu Changkong, remains, my four 'Extremely Evil' demon envoys are all unharmed. Add to that 'One Hundred and Eight Misty Rains of Jiangnan,' 'Three Hundred and Sixty-Six Quick Blades of the Northern Desert,' and the big boss's 'All Heavens and Stars,' hehe, Qin brothers, don't disappoint me!"

~Chapter Nine, Section Three of the Third Chapter~

Looking at the swarming men in black and the masked men in colorful clothing, the Third Young Master frowned.

"There must be... probably no less than a thousand people, right?" the Third Young Master said uncertainly.

"Including the leader, there are a total of 851 people." Qin Feng immediately recognized the number of attackers and said calmly.

"Hahaha... I just killed 209 people, and now so many bastards are coming. My Raging Lightning Blade can finally drink some blood again!" Qin Lei was not afraid at all, and instead laughed wildly.

"Second Young Master, you must not be careless." Qiao Wei said in a deep voice, "If I am not mistaken, those who are wielding three-foot-seven-inch blades are the assassins specially trained by the Demonic Sect, the 366 Swift Blades of the Northern Desert. In terms of individual strength, perhaps none of them can defeat you even once, but if these people attack together, the power of each person will be increased by at least six times."

Uncle Li said, "Those weapons, of various shapes and sizes, should be from the 'One Hundred and Eight Misty Rains of Jiangnan.' Their individual strength is not a concern, but when they form a group, they are quite difficult to deal with. Compared to ordinary demonic sect disciples, these two groups are many times stronger."

"Those masked men dressed like opera singers, did you two seniors discern their origins?" Qin Feng asked.

Qiao Wei and Uncle Li exchanged a glance and shook their heads simultaneously. Qiao Wei said, "I don't know. This group doesn't seem to be from the demonic sect."

Uncle Li carefully observed their movements as they charged forward, somewhat puzzled, and said, "These people... seem to practice evil martial arts, but they're not demonic sect techniques."

Those dressed in colorful clothes were a group of assassins secretly trained by the big boss, Young Master Yu, known as the "Stars of the Heavens," who had never ventured into the martial world. The seven leaders dressed in seven-colored suits were known as the "Big Dipper," and in terms of individual strength, they were all top-tier experts. The martial arts they practiced were all closely guarded secrets of the imperial court, so Qiao Wei and Uncle Li naturally couldn't recognize them.

As they spoke, the group of over eight hundred men, led by "Wind Blade Frost Sword" Gu Changkong, the four "Heinous" demon envoys, and seven masked men in colorful robes, arrived at the center of the training ground.

Three hundred and sixty-six swift-blade fighters formed one group, one hundred and eight "Jiangnan Misty Rain" fighters formed another, and the myriad stars formed their own.

The three formations stood in a tripartite balance, surrounding the three young masters and their companions.

"Wind Blade Frost Sword" Gu Changkong, still wearing his blue mask, stood ten feet away from Qin Feng, alongside the four "Heinous" demon envoys. He gave Qin Feng a sinister smile and said in a low voice, "Star River Sword Saint, we meet again."

Qin Feng snorted coldly and said, "Ximen Wudi isn't here, yet you dare to appear before me?"

Gu Changkong only let out a series of sinister laughs but remained silent. The four demon envoys, wearing ghost masks and described as "extremely wicked," said in unison, "We have long heard of the Star River Sword Saint's divine swordsmanship, and we four brothers have always wanted to experience it for ourselves, but we have never had the chance to meet the Sword Saint. Today, we take this opportunity to learn a thing or two from the Star River Sword Saint."

The four demon envoys spoke in exactly the same voice, making it impossible to tell who was who.

Qiao Wei explained, "The four demon envoys of this era are quadruplets born of the same mother, named Yuan Zui, Yuan E, Yuan Da, and Yuan Ji, collectively known as 'The Most Heinous and Sinful.' It is said that they are of one mind, the four of them being one. Not only do they look alike, but their power can also be merged. When these four demon envoys fight, they always fight as a group, and their power is far greater than that of an ordinary four-person attack formation."

Qin Feng nodded and said, "That's excellent. With all four of them fighting at the same time, it saves me from killing them one by one. I want to see if the four most heinous and sinful brothers can withstand my sword, Qin Feng!" The four most

heinous and sinful brothers said at the same time, "Young Master Qin, you misunderstand. If you want to fight us four brothers, you must first break this formation." With that, the four demon envoys, together with Gu Changkong, retreated behind the formation formed by the 108 Misty Rains of Jiangnan, adopting a spectator's posture.

Qin Feng took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I, Qin Feng, will handle this Jiangnan 108 Misty Rain all by myself! Second brother, third brother, what do you think?"

Qin Lei laughed heartily and said, "I want to try and see if thirty-six quick blades can withstand my Raging Lightning Blade!"

The third young master touched his nose and said, "You two older brothers are putting on such a brave show. If I back down, wouldn't I be unworthy to be your brother? I'll deal with those opera singers!" The three brothers exchanged glances and burst

into laughter at the same time, their voices shaking the heavens!

"Young masters, the enemy has a large number of people. If you three go into battle alone, each of you will have to deal with hundreds of people. I'm afraid you might be at risk. Perhaps..." Liu Duanhun's words were interrupted by the third young master halfway through.

"Elder Liu, no need for further words!" The Third Young Master smiled confidently at the crowd, then strode towards the myriad stars. "We Qin brothers all have the blood of Qin Xiaoyao, the Heaven-Covering Hand, flowing in our veins!"

"One hand can cover the sky, two palms can support the heavens, the sons of the Qin family have never been afraid!" Qin Lei laughed as he carried the Raging Lightning Blade towards the formation of 366 swift swordsmen.

"Hmph..." Qin Feng only snorted twice, a faint sneer on his lips, and walked towards the 108 Misty Rains of Jiangnan with his hands behind his back.

Qiao Wei and Uncle Li watched the three brothers' backs, exchanged smiles, and saw a look of satisfaction in each other's eyes.

With three brothers like these in the world, how could the world not be exciting?

With three brothers like these as adversaries, how could the Demonic Sect not be destroyed?

Tie Xuanxuan watched the Third Young Master's retreating figure and muttered to herself, "That coward Ah Ren, he used to only know how to scheme and plot against people. When did he learn to be so courageous and fight the enemy head-on?"

Tie Jian leaned close to his sister's ear and whispered, "Xuanxuan, don't forget there are so many girls watching Ah Ren. If he doesn't act bravely, won't his two older brothers steal the spotlight? So, with beautiful women watching, even the most cowardly man becomes incredibly brave."

Tie Xuanxuan turned her head and saw that almost all the girls, including Lian Zhou and Luo Er, were staring at the Third Young Master, especially Du Xiaoyan, whose eyes were full of infatuation.

"Tch, a bunch of ignorant little girls, I can't be bothered with them." Tie Xuanxuan snorted disdainfully, crossed her arms, and looked at Qin Lei's retreating figure, saying, "Cousin Lei is the real man, they really don't know how to appreciate that." As she said this, her eyes kept sneaking glances at the Third Young Master.

On the platform, "Du Gongfu" watched the Qin brothers' valiant actions with admiration: "Did you see that? That's true courage! A person of blood courage turns red with anger; a person of bone courage turns white; a person of pulse courage turns blue; a person of divine courage remains unmoved. The Qin brothers, surrounded by powerful enemies, didn't flinch. They are truly born brave men!"

Dugu Hongjian scoffed, "They're just overestimating themselves! Single-handedly facing hundreds of people, hundreds already in formation, is nothing but courting death! Especially Qin Feng, famous for his sword, now abandoning his sword and facing the 108 Misty Rains of Jiangnan bare-handed—isn't he just asking for it?"

"Du Gongfu" glanced at Dugu Hongjian, secretly shaking his head, and said, "Doesn't Master Dugu know that there is such a thing as the 'Heavenly Sword' in this world?"

"'Heavenly Sword'?" Dugu Hongjian was stunned. "The legendary Heavenly Sword? Impossible, right? How old is Qin Feng? How could he possibly reach the legendary 'Heavenly Sword' realm?"

"Du Gongfu" smiled meaningfully, "Ambition is not limited by age..."

Ambition is not limited by age. If the realm of martial arts were determined by age, wouldn't all the world's top masters be white-haired old men? If any martial art required hundreds of years to reach its peak, wouldn't all martial artists have gone bald and become "top masters"? Even worse, if they died of old age immediately after mastering the art, wouldn't they become "peerless masters"?

In that case, every martial artist would not need to pursue the highest realm. They would have to kill and set fires as soon as they achieved a little skill. Otherwise, if they continued to practice diligently, they would all become peerless masters, and the martial arts world would be at peace...

At this moment, the three Qin brothers had already reached their respective enemy formations.

Qin Feng, hands behind his back, looked at the leader of the Jiangnan 108 Misty Rain formation, who was only five feet away from him, and said, "If you don't make a move now, you'll never have another chance."

The Jiangnan 108 Misty Rain remained unmoved. Their formation was complete; everyone was a unified whole. As the saying goes, pulling one hair affects the whole body; now, if even one person moved, the entire formation would activate.

However, Qin Feng hadn't yet entered the formation, hadn't yet reached their optimal sniping range, so they weren't in a hurry to attack.

They weren't afraid of Qin Feng striking first. The energy of the 108 people was already intertwined, flowing through their bodies. An immense aura had firmly locked onto Qin Feng. Any slight movement from him would inevitably trigger a full-scale counterattack from the 108 Misty Rain.

Like a series of batteries connected in series, each of the 108 was a battery, linked together by an invisible energy. Their internal force flowed between them like an electric current. There was no longer a distinction between strong and weak among them; each was the strongest point, each capable of unleashing the full power of all 108 at any moment.

The formation formed by the 108 Misty Rain of Jiangnan was designed for a counter-attack. If Qin Feng attacked any one of them, the resulting counterattack would be terrifying—a full-force strike combining the power of all 108!

Individually, the 108 Misty Rain members weren't top-tier, but how terrifying was the combined power of all 108? It was likely that no one in the world could withstand them single-handedly.

Qin Feng could already sense the immense aura emanating from the combined energy of the 108 individuals. He knew that these 108 people were now an unbreakable fortress, virtually invincible.

Human strength was no match for such power. Unfortunately for Qin Feng, his strength wasn't solely based on his own power.

He was a unique Heavenly Sword, unparalleled in heaven and earth!

His power originated from heaven and earth; his sword was integrated into all things; his sword was omnipresent!

If the 108 Jiangnan Misty Rain Formation had become a monstrous force, not human strength, then Qin Feng's power was the power of heaven and earth!

Even the legendary dragons and phoenixes existed within heaven and earth, didn't they?

Therefore, Qin Feng smiled and said calmly, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't seize it."

As he spoke, Qin Feng pointed a finger.

Sword energy generated from his fingertip. His Heavenly Sword used to glow golden, but now the sword energy emitted only a faint, almost negligible, yellowish light.

However, this sword aura, shimmering with a faint golden light, was many times more terrifying than his previous sword auras!

The Dao of Heaven is formless; a sword aura like Ximen Wudi's "Immortal Execution Sword" is utterly invisible and silent, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal couldn't defend against it. Therefore, the more subdued and seemingly gentle the sword aura, the more terrifying it is!

Qin Feng clearly hadn't reached Ximen Wudi's level yet, but after Qin Feng pointed his finger, the faint sword aura only emitted an extremely weak sound of tearing through the air, without even a wisp of wind.

On the stage, "Du Gongfu," upon seeing Qin Feng's sword strike, exclaimed in astonishment: "Qin Feng's Heavenly Sword has actually advanced to such a level! Heavens, only a few days have passed, and he has already gained further enlightenment in such a short time!"

Accompanying "Du Gongfu's" exclamation, Qin Feng's sword aura, which struck directly into the void without piercing anyone, triggered a series of terrifying chain reactions after entering the air!

Only someone of Qin Feng's current level of cultivation could elicit such a reaction after casually pointing a finger. If one's cultivation were slightly lower, a casual finger strike would cause absolutely no reaction, like a pebble thrown into the ocean, unable to create any roar.

But Qin Feng's seemingly powerless finger strike was like a volcano erupting in the center of the ocean floor, unleashing a colossal wave!

The immense aura of the 108 Misty Rain members of Jiangnan, who had been firmly locking onto Qin Feng, was drawn by the sword energy and erupted instantly.

The combined force of the 108 members unleashed a devastating blow in the direction the sword energy had traveled. This blow was launched by one of the Misty Rain members closest to the sword energy's trajectory. His weapon was a golden snake spear, and propelled by the aura, he involuntarily thrust it in the direction the sword energy had gone.

The golden serpent spear emitted a piercing, ear-splitting sound the moment it thrust out. A blinding golden light erupted from its shaft, and flames burst forth from the friction between the spear and the air. Under the combined torment of the intense heat and the combined power of the 108 warriors, the spear creaked under the strain, then rapidly melted into molten gold, shooting outwards!

Enveloped in flames, the molten golden serpent spear transformed into a ferocious fire dragon, lunging towards the direction the sword energy had gone. A deafening roar, like the earth shattering, echoed as the fire dragon crashed into the ground, piercing through it. The soil and gravel were scorched, emitting thick smoke, before melting and solidifying into a glassy substance.

The fire dragon burrowed nearly five zhang deep underground before vanishing without a trace, leaving behind a perfectly round crater three zhang in diameter and five zhang deep!

Everyone who witnessed this attack was drenched in cold sweat.

That was indeed an attack that no single human could launch, and it was indeed a blow that no single human could withstand! Among so many people present, even someone as arrogant as Uncle Qiao Wei secretly thought that if the fire dragon were to attack them, they could only withstand it for the time it takes to blink three times before they would be burned to ashes!

Upon witnessing that attack, Lian Zhou Feng Hua exclaimed in horror, "What terrifying skill! I'm afraid no one in the world can withstand that move!"

Du Gu Hong Jian retorted, "Patriarch Lian Zhou, you're mistaken. How could no one in the world be able to withstand that move? With your supreme martial arts, you could definitely block it!"

"Du Gong Fu" remained silent for a moment, then said, "That wasn't skill, it was a formation. I couldn't block it, but I could dodge it. However, it's meaningless now; we'll never see an attack like that again."

Indeed, the world would never see Jiangnan 108 Misty Rain unleash an attack of equal power, because the instant Jiangnan 108 Misty Rain was drawn by sword energy and launched its attack, Qin Feng transformed into the wind, rushing into the already launched and unprepared Jiangnan 108 Misty Rain.

Qin Feng didn't use his hands to unleash sword energy; instead, with his hands behind his back, he moved through the formation with the speed of the wind. His long hair danced in the wind; some strands, nearing the end of their lives, fell naturally and were carried away by the wind, merging into the air and brushing past the bodies of the 108 Misty Rains of Jiangnan. After

Qin Feng emerged from the 108 Misty Rains' formation, he stood before Gu Changkong and the "Heinous" one.

The 108 Misty Rains of Jiangnan remained frozen in their final pose, motionless.

They were all dead!

Only after the gentle breeze stirred by Qin Feng subsided did the 108 Misty Rains collapse one after another, without a drop of blood seeping from their bodies. They died without a trace of life, cleanly and dignifiedly.

No one saw how Qin Feng made his move; to all the spectators, it seemed as if Qin Feng hadn't lifted a finger at all.

How incredibly fine a strand of hair could be? As the hair drifted in the wind, and with the crowd obstructing the view, it would be truly bizarre if anyone could discern its trajectory!

If someone were to dissect the bodies of the 108 Misty Rains of Jiangnan now, they would discover that the heart meridians of each of them were shattered, crushed by a single, fine hair piercing their heart meridians!

How could blood seep out when a hair pierces the body? A hole as tiny as a pore on the skin—who could possibly see it?

108 hairs, 108 lives—this is Qin Feng's Heavenly Sword now!

~Chapter Nine, Every Wrong Has Its Root, Every Debt Has Its Responsibility, Section Four~

Qin Lei made his move after Qin Feng had slaughtered the 108 Misty Rains. He gripped the hilt of the Thunderclap Blade with both hands, raised it high above his head, focused his energy in his dantian, and with a roar, slashed down!

The combined attack formation, originally intended to unleash maximum collective power while trapping and limiting the enemy's strength, thus maximizing the attack and even killing them.

In essence, a formation is like a trap, except that this trap is composed of living, moving, and attacking people.

A trap designed for rabbits cannot trap an elephant, not even one of its feet.

Similarly, a formation composed of lambs cannot trap a tiger; a formation composed of people, no matter how powerful its members, cannot contain a fierce bolt of lightning.

It was a bolt of lightning from the sky, a lightning bolt containing almost world-destroying power, violent and surging! The Raging Lightning Blade descended from the sky

. The blade light flashed

, its blade aura soaring ten zhang high. The fierce and surging blade aura

was like a rainbow piercing the sun, dazzling and colorful; the blade's momentum, heavier than ten thousand jin, was like Mount Tai pressing down, imposing and heavy; the blade's intent, capable of annihilating everything, was as vast as the universe, breathtaking and unparalleled.

The blade's edge pierced the air, emitting muffled thunderous roars. Pale blue currents crackled and crackled across its surface.

The blade materialized into a gigantic sword ten zhang long, which cleaved the ground in two with a single stroke!

The Thunder God of Blades gripped the sword with both hands, the tip of the Thunderous Blade close to the ground.

A massive, straight chasm appeared before the blade, ten zhang long, five chi deep, and a finger's width.

On either side of the chasm lay corpses, cleaved in two. All the swift swordsmen who had stood on this ten-zhang chasm where the blade had struck were now split in two!

Blood and entrails flowed everywhere, pooling into the chasm and gradually filling it.

Many broken swords lay scattered on the ground. Those slain swift swordsmen lived up to their reputation; almost all of them reacted the instant the blade struck, raising their swords to defend themselves.

But not one could withstand Qin Lei's strike!

Qin Feng's killing methods were silent and stealthy, while Qin Lei's swordsmanship was earth-shattering.

In an instant, everyone was shocked by Qin Lei's strike. Of the 366 quick-daggers, nearly a hundred died under Qin Lei's blade; their formation was shattered and could no longer be reconciled!

"Du Gongfu" rubbed his swollen forehead and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Unexpectedly… my palm strike actually caused Qin Lei to rise from the ashes! Heh, is this fate? A Heavenly Sword has already brought me too many surprises, and Qin Lei's Overlord Blade has given me another surprise! Qin brothers, I want you more and more!"

"Du Gongfu" was right; Qin Lei's blade was indeed the "Overlord Blade," following the path of dominance!

The Way of Heaven and the Way of Dominance are completely different, two extreme realms. The Way of Heaven emphasizes that all laws are inherently governed, merging with heaven and earth, borrowing all the power within for one's own use—this is the Way of the King.

The Overbearing Path, on the other hand, is a forceful defiance of nature, a destructive burst of power driven by an unstoppable, all-consuming aura. It is deliberately pursued, arrogant, relentless, and without any defense or retreat—this is the Demonic Path.

However, both the Heavenly Path and the Overbearing Path, upon reaching their highest levels, lead to the same destination: the pinnacle of power. The Heavenly Path progresses more slowly but avoids the risk of demonic possession, while the Overbearing Path progresses rapidly but is highly susceptible to demonic possession, unable to withstand even the slightest setback.

But Qin Lei

no longer needs to worry about demonic possession. He was reduced to a living dead by Hua Linglong's palm strike, narrowly escaping death, and has been reborn. He has no more worries about cultivating the Overbearing Blade!

Qin Lei himself is unaware of which path he is on. After killing nearly a hundred people with a single strike, he laughed wildly and charged into the midst of the terrified, swift-wielding swordsmen, his Thunderclap Blade sweeping and powerful, unstoppable, and relentlessly slashing through them!

The swift swordsmen, their formation broken, were powerless to resist.

No one could withstand a single strike from Qin Lei. He offered no defense, launching a relentless, frenzied attack, his longsword slashing left and right, seemingly chaotic and without technique, yet in reality, perfectly executed, flawless!

He could strike from any impossible angle, turning the impossible into the possible.

His sword, in his hand, felt as if bound by an invisible thread, allowing it to fly freely and unrestrained.

In Qin Lei's hands, the sword seemed alive, a self-aware bolt of lightning, frantically devouring the flesh and lives of the swift swordsmen.

The swordsmen did not give up resistance; they struck with their fastest speed, trying to strike Qin Lei before he could strike them. Infected by Qin Lei's madness, they too abandoned all defense, meeting attack with attack.

In fact, before Qin Lei, all defense was futile. The raging lightning blade ignored all defenses, often cleaving the swordsmen in two, sword and all.

And offense was useless. The swift-knife fighters, known for their speed, were mostly cut in two by Qin Lei's blade the moment they raised their swords. Even the few with superior skill only managed to swing their blades halfway before their strength vanished along with their lives.

Blood spurted, spraying into the sky like raindrops, constantly falling.

Limbs flew everywhere, severed heads intertwined with internal organs—a scene of indescribable horror.

Qin Lei was already covered in blood. Seeing Qin Lei's frenzied slaughter, Qiao Wei and the others finally understood why Qin Lei had left bloody footprints when he entered the battlefield.

The Second Young Master was a complete madman on the battlefield; he had no qualms about getting the blood of the dead on him, even enjoying the feeling of being drenched in blood.

But the Eldest Young Master was different. The Eldest Young Master never wanted to get even a drop of blood on himself; he cultivated the Dao and therefore abhorred all things unclean.

The Third Young Master, on the other hand, valued his dignity. He could have blood on his hands, but if he were covered in blood, he felt it wouldn't be cool enough.

But now, seeing Qin Lei covered in blood, the Third Young Master felt a strange surge of excitement.

He suddenly realized that being covered in blood like his Second Brother wasn't so bad; it had its own unique charm.

A blood-stained charm!

A cruel romance!

The 366 Swift Blades of the Northern Desert were now dust in the past. The Third Young Master withdrew his gaze from the Second Young Master and smiled with utmost gentleness at the Big Dipper, the leader of the myriad stars before him, clad in a seven-colored suit of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.

This extremely gentle smile, however, instilled a chilling fear in the Big Dipper, who was directly facing the Third Young Master.

"Good boy, stand still and don't fight back. Let me strike a pose and kill you. I can't let my killing moves be worse than the eldest and second eldest! I, the third young master, am the most handsome of the three brothers, so naturally I have to be the most handsome when I go into battle!" The third young master said softly, like a grandmother coaxing a child to take medicine: "Don't worry, I'll be very gentle, I promise it won't hurt..."

The Red Star among the Big Dipper was about to vomit. He suppressed the feeling of acid rising in his throat and roared: "The Starry Sky Formation is officially activated!"

At the command, the Big Dipper quickly flipped and leaped into the 365 stars behind him. The "Starry Sky Formation" composed of the stars in the heavens was activated instantly after the seven stars entered.

The stars dressed in colorful clothes ran around quickly, sometimes performing various acrobatic moves, darting around like butterflies flitting among flowers. Some flew in the sky, some crawled on the ground, and some spun around quickly like tops, dazzling the eyes.

The third young master watched with great interest, clapping his hands and shouting, "Good! Very good! Damn, you really are worthy of being opera singers. Continue, and the young master will reward you!" With that, he pulled out a handful of loose silver and threw it at them.

Of course, no one paid any attention to the silver thrown by the Third Young Master. However, a few unlucky stars were accidentally hit by the loose silver, collapsing to the ground, spitting blood, unable to stand again.

Yellow Star among the Seven Stars cursed, "Despicable! You attacked us while we were setting up our formation!"

The Third Young Master shook his head, "How could I have attacked you? I was clearly giving you reward silver, how can you say I attacked you? Damn it, you're like dogs biting Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a kind heart! With your attitude, you'll definitely starve to death if you ever run around performing tricks."

Yellow Star was furious, but wisely, he didn't continue arguing with the Third Young Master, focusing instead on directing the formation's activation.

Once their positioning was complete, the Third Young Master was already in the center of the formation.

"Qin Ren, although you tricked and injured a few of us, making our formation less perfect, with our current formation, we can still kill you! Prepare to die!" Red Star shouted, pointing at the Third Young Master.

The Third Young Master shook his head inwardly, wondering why these guys seemed so inexperienced in the ways of the martial world. Did they not know that deception was commonplace in the underworld? Could it be that these guys weren't even members of the martial world? Considering that Qiao Wei and Uncle Li couldn't discern their origins, the Third Young Master found it increasingly plausible.

If they weren't江湖 (jianghu, the martial world), where did these people come from? Although they were practically idiots, their skills were still considerable; even with a few missing members, their formation appeared impeccable. Whose men were these?

Thinking of this, the Third Young Master directly asked, "Wait a minute, before we start, I have a question I'd like to ask."

Chi Xing snorted and said, "What question do you have? If I can tell you, I'll consider granting your last wish before you die."

The Third Young Master smiled and nodded, saying, "Can you tell me your origins? I'm very curious. A group of experts like you can't be trained by just any martial arts sect. And you don't belong to the Demonic Sect, which is very strange."

Chi Xing scoffed and said, "Go ask the Judge when we get to the Nine Netherworld Purgatory! 'Starry Sky River'!"

Just as the stars were about to launch their attack according to the command, they suddenly realized that the Third Young Master had disappeared!

The moment Chi Xing gave the order, the Third Young Master soared into the sky, rising to a height of forty feet. He took a deep breath of the fresh air, which was free of the smell of blood, and then, as his ascent ended and he was about to fall, he twisted in mid-air and slammed headfirst into the ground.

In truth, the Third Young Master hadn't disappeared; rather, his movements were so incredibly fast that, apart from the Big Dipper, none of the celestial bodies noticed when he had soared into the sky.

Possessing unparalleled lightness skills, it would be foolish not to utilize them. Instead of fighting head-on with his own strength, the Third Young Master, surrounded, chose to fly into the air, rendering the enemy's formation ineffective and unleashing an overwhelming attack using his greatest advantage!

The wind raged, and the Third Young Master's descent was faster than lightning, his long hair standing on end, his robes fluttering in the wind.

In mid-air, the Third Young Master unleashed a palm strike.

He gently clapped his right hand with the utmost tenderness, the movement as gentle and elegant as caressing a beloved lover, or as if retrieving a bright red rose from a vase.

Almost everyone present failed to perceive the power of the Third Young Master's palm strike, except for Li Xiaoye.

Only Li Xiaoye noticed that the Third Young Master's expression and posture when he struck out with his palm were exactly the same as when he gave her the "sky-covering rose" formed from raindrops that rainy night.

Therefore, only she knew the devastating effect of his palm strike.

After the Third Young Master's palm strike, everyone within a three-zhang radius of the celestial bodies on the ground suddenly began to spin rapidly, involuntarily.

Amidst gasps of alarm, their bodies floated up on their own, as if drawn by a powerful force, spinning rapidly into the air, then converging towards a single point. Dozens of people huddled together like straw, forming a spherical shape that spun rapidly.

A series of screams, accompanied by a continuous, uninterrupted cracking of bones, rang out—the death cries of the stars whose bones had been crushed and shattered.

The Third Young Master flew towards the sphere of flesh composed of human bodies, entering it effortlessly as if jumping into water.

Li Xiaoye suddenly closed her eyes, unable to bear watching what was about to happen.

What followed was the blossoming of an enormous, vibrant rose made entirely of human flesh and blood.

"Snap!" A soft explosion rang out, and the massive sphere of flesh exploded, instantly transforming into a surging ball of blood.

No one saw how the human bodies turned into blood plasma; the transformation was so rapid, it was as if the living bodies themselves were made of blood plasma.

From the center of the blood sphere, layers of blood waves rolled outwards. These waves transformed into enormous petals, countless of which surged forth, trembling slightly in the wind.

A gigantic, crimson rose bloomed in the air, reflecting the golden sunlight and refracting a blood-red glow.

This was a sky-covering rose made of blood, a cruelly romantic, utterly gruesome beauty!

"Ugh..." Almost all the girls vomited. Although they were equally captivated by the beauty of this enormous rose, the thought that this giant flower was composed of human bodies completely pulverized into blood plasma made them all gag.

After the blood rose fully bloomed, it spun several times in the air, its petals falling one by one, finally dispersing into a vast blood mist that scattered in all directions.

The celestial stars standing where the blood mist fell watched the sky with ashen faces, waiting for the moment when the demon-like Third Young Master would appear from within the blood rose.

But they couldn't see him. When the flower withered, they discovered that the Third Young Master, who should have been in the center of the flower, was nowhere to be seen!

This time, even the Big Dipper, shrouded in blood mist, couldn't detect when the Third Young Master had vanished!

The Big Dipper panicked. They suddenly realized that fighting the Third Young Master was utterly hopeless!

They couldn't keep up with his movements; fighting him was like chasing the wind!

What no one knew was that since comprehending the Heavenly Dao, the Third Young Master's mastery of lightness skill had reached a new level. In the world today, perhaps only Ximen Wudi could rival him in lightness skill!

"Neither the Way of Heaven nor the Way of Tyranny, which path does Qin Ren... truly walk?" Du Gongfu, witnessing the effect of the Third Young Master's palm strike, muttered to himself.

Apart from him, no one else could discern the Third Young Master's path. Or rather, he only saw that the Third Young Master's path differed from both the Way of Heaven and the Way of Tyranny.

The palm strike of the Way of Heaven wasn't as bloody and cruel, nor was the palm strike of the Way of Tyranny as poignant and gentle.

If one had to use a "path" to describe it, it could only be described as a precarious "devious path" that straddles the Way of Heaven and the Way of Tyranny, possessing both, yet not belonging to either!

The Way of Heaven and the Way of Tyranny are inherently extreme, two paths diametrically opposed; what method in the world could reconcile them? Yet this harmony had now appeared in the Third Young Master!

And the Third Young Master, as the person involved, was unaware of this; he stubbornly believed that he was walking the righteous Way of Heaven, even though his character was somewhat despicable and shameless...

Perhaps only someone with the Third Young Master's temperament could simultaneously possess both the Way of Heaven and the Way of Tyranny.

When the missing Third Young Master reappeared, the outcome of his battle against the myriad stars had become a foregone conclusion.

He didn't even need to use his self-created "Overlord's Decree" palm technique, which, though only in its rudimentary form, was already incredibly powerful. With just his "Heaven-Covering Hand," he could annihilate all the stars in the heavens!

The Third Young Master appeared behind the Big Dipper, unleashing a "Heaven-Covering Hand," the vortex of his palm energy absorbing all the life force of the Big Dipper's seven stars, turning them into seven mangled corpses.

Then, the Third Young Master listlessly threw out a handful of Thunder God's Thunderbolts, blasting the remaining stars, no longer worthy of his attention, to smithereens.

In this battle against the stars, the Third Young Master won brilliantly, but he also deeply understood the terrifying power of Ximen Wudi.

His movement techniques weren't as elusive and unpredictable as Ximen Wudi's, yet he could already render the stars helpless. Ximen Wudi's movement techniques far surpassed his; that was true invincibility!

"Hmm..." Du Gongfu sighed, addressing the crowd behind him, "Gentlemen, the Qin brothers have exhausted at least half their strength in this battle. It's time for you... to make your move."

~Chapter Nine, Every Wrong Has Its Source, Every Debt Has Its Responsibility, Section Five~

Dugu Hongjian smiled sinisterly, raising his strangely shaped longsword; the Weeping Sun Blade; "I want Qin Ren."

Dugu Hongjian had a feud with Qin Ren over a concubine, and after weighing the options, he felt that Qin Ren was the weakest of the three Qin brothers, so he chose Qin Ren.

Wearing a wide black robe embroidered with a bright moon, his hair styled in a feminine way, but sporting a large beard, Zuo Tianfang, the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult, uttered a statement that was easily ambiguous: "Qin Feng is mine."

The leader of the One-Sword Alliance, a man over ten feet tall and exceptionally robust, "One-Sword Allurerma," Hengtianwang, said: "Qin Lei's sword is very interesting."

Du Gongfu smiled, indifferently saying: "If you can kill them, then go ahead and do it!" Then, turning to Lian Zhou Feng Hua, he asked, "Patriarch Lian Zhou, what about you?"

Lian Zhou Feng Hua coldly replied, "It's better to kill my own daughter myself."

Du Gongfu clapped his hands and laughed, "Sacrificing family for righteousness, Patriarch Lian Zhou, what spirit!"

Zhao Ziyang, the patriarch of the Beihai Zhao family, was a young man who looked only twenty-three or twenty-four, with an almost eerie handsome appearance, but his temples were completely white. He smiled wickedly and said, "I've long heard that 'Time Waits for No Man' has the power to resist time. My 'Reversal of Heaven and Earth' technique is quite similar to 'Time Waits for No Man,' so I'll leave Qiao Qitian to me!"

Zhou Lingfei, the patriarch of the Lianyun Zhou family, said, "I want to compete with 'Illusion Demon True Monarch' Li Guding to see if his hands are faster than mine." "

Then, what about the three great killing gods? What about the Tie siblings?" Du Gongfu asked with a smile.

The remaining three of the four great constables of the Jianghu government chorused: "Leave the three great killing gods to us."

"We'll deal with the Tie siblings!" said the second Moon Guardian of the Moon Worship Cult.

The three elders of the Moon Worship Cult clenched their fists and said sinisterly: "The three great killing gods once stormed our Moon Worship Cult's headquarters with Qin Xiaoyao and Tie Kongshan, crippling our sect. We three brothers will take part in dealing with them!"

The five sword commanders of the One-Sword Alliance all wore lewd smiles. One of them said: "We brothers have a strange fondness for torturing women. Those little girls are ours to deal with!"

Du Gongfu chuckled and said: "In that case, my 'Heinous' Four Demon Envoys and 'Wind Blade Frost Sword' Gu Changkong are actually fine." Just

as Du Gongfu and the others were discussing how to deal with the Qin brothers, a loud laugh suddenly rang out from outside the dilapidated training ground: "Hahaha... Wherever there's a grand spectacle, there I, Qin Xiaoyao, am. Without me, Qin Xiaoyao, even the grandest spectacle is meaningless!"

Except for Du Gongfu, Dugu Hongjian and the others all paled and looked in the direction of the laughter.

Qin Feng, who was confronting Gu Changkong and the Four Demon Envoys, and Qin Lei and Qin Ren, who had finished killing their enemies and were leisurely walking towards their own camp, all wore expressions of ecstasy and looked in the direction of the laughter.

Qiao Wei, Uncle Li, the three killing gods, the Tie siblings, Lian Zhou Luo'er, and the other women also turned their heads to look in that direction.

A lone figure slowly walked from outside the training ground, stepping on the dilapidated ground, saying as he walked: "Huh? How did Tianping Manor become like this? Where are the grand spectacle? Where are the various righteous gangs from Jiangnan and Jiangbei?" Where did everyone go? Did they finish fighting and go back for tea and meals? Wait, why are there so many broken corpses on the ground?

Just then, another unusually bold voice rang out: "Brother-in-law, you've arrived too? Perfect timing! It's been a long time since we brothers fought side-by-side. This time, let's have a good fight!"

Everyone looked towards the direction of the bold voice and saw a middle-aged man, over twelve feet tall, exceptionally robust, dressed in a black outfit and a fiery red cloak, striding towards Qin Xiaoyao from one side of the training ground, which was flanked by Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao looked at the man and clapped his hands, laughing: "Good! Brother-in-law, I didn't expect you to be late too! Look closely, how could this be a big scene for us brothers? Everyone's dead, only our two families' children and those guys on the stage are left!"

"Father!" "Tie Xuanxuan called out in surprise and ran towards the burly man, the Iron-Blooded Howling Sky Fortress Master, Iron-Handed Iron Kongshan. She leaped from a distance and threw herself into his arms.

Iron Kongshan, holding her in one arm, laughed heartily: 'Xuanxuan, why are you still so wild? Remember to tone it down a bit, otherwise no man will treat you like a woman, and you'll never get married!'

Tie Xuanxuan was already quite tall, even taller than the Third Young Master, but now in Iron Kongshan's arms, she looked like a little baby; he could easily hold her in one arm.

Sitting on Iron Kongshan's arm, with one hand around his neck, she playfully poked his shoulder and said: 'I don't care! If I can't get married, you'll have to support me for life! Besides, what man in this world can I even look at?'

Iron Kongshan laughed: 'Oh?'" "I remember you were betrothed to Ah Ren since you were little. Don't you even like Ah Ren?"

Tie Xuanxuan blushed, a rare occurrence for her, and exclaimed, "That Ah Ren is like a snotty-nosed worm! How could I possibly like him? Father, don't talk nonsense!"

Tie Kongshan chuckled and said, "I've heard that Ah Ren has made quite a name for himself in the martial arts world. Although it's all bad fame, even someone who does evil must have considerable skill!"

Seeing Miss Tie's coquettish manner, the Third Young Master and Tie Jian exchanged glances.

"Big Cousin, am I seeing things?" The Third Young Master hesitated, "Sister Xuanxuan…when did she turn back into a girl? Why didn't you tell me?"

Tie Jian said solemnly, "Theoretically speaking, it's extremely difficult to know in advance when Xuanxuan will turn back into a girl!"

…

"Father, Uncle!" "Father, Uncle!" "Old man, Uncle!" The three Qin brothers, along with Qiao Wei and the others, greeted Qin Xiaoyao and Tie Kongshan with bows.

The three killing gods also greeted their master and uncle, while Qiao Wei and Uncle Li stood behind the three young masters with smiles on their faces, neither bowing nor speaking.

"Ah Feng, Ah Lei, Ah Ren, you three brothers are quite impressive!" Qin Xiaoyao looked at his three sons with a smile, feeling very happy. He was especially gratified by his third son, whose precious son, who used to know nothing about martial arts except for lightness skills, was now a top-tier master in the martial arts world.

Qin Xiaoyao's gaze passed over the Third Young Master's shoulder, looked at the women behind him, and chuckled at the Third Young Master, saying, "Ah Ren, not bad! Hmm, very much like your father in his youth..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized that the sunlight above his head was being blocked by something. Qin Xiaoyao looked up and saw that Tie Kongshan had somehow appeared beside him. Qin Xiaoyao was quite tall, but compared to Tie Kongshan, who was over ten feet tall, he only reached his chest.

Tie Kongshan chuckled and rubbed his hands, saying, "Brother-in-law, my sister is very curious about your romantic escapades from your youth! Tell me about them!"

Qin Xiaoyao immediately chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe, haha, the weather today, hahaha..." Then he started looking around and changing the subject...

"Who are these two...?" Qin Xiaoyao looked at Qiao Wei and Uncle Li, finding them very unfamiliar.

Qiao Wei, feigning politeness, greeted Qin Xiaoyao with a thick, chubby smile, saying, "I am Qiao Wei, the Third Young Master's newly acquired servant."

Uncle Li also bowed deeply to Qin Xiaoyao, saying, "I am Hu Li, the Third Young Master's full-time bodyguard."

Qin Feng immediately coughed twice, saying, "Father, these two are Senior Qiao Qitian, 'Time Waits for No One,' and Senior Li Guding, 'Illusionary Demon True Monarch,' two of the four great demons of the Demonic Sect."

Qin Xiaoyao immediately straightened up and bowed deeply to the two, saying, "So you are Senior Qiao and Senior Li. Please forgive my rudeness."

Qiao Wei and Uncle Li hurriedly helped Qin Xiaoyao up on either side, saying hastily, "Times have changed, Master Qin. Now we all have to call you Master. How can we accept such a grand gesture?"

Qin Xiaoyao solemnly replied, "Not at all!" Back then, Qin was young and ignorant, and rashly fought Senior Qiao. If Senior Qiao hadn't shown mercy and not used the "Time Waits for No Man" technique on Qin, Qin would probably have turned into ashes and scattered in the wind long ago. How could he have achieved what he has today? Seniority cannot be changed, and etiquette cannot be abandoned. Ah Ren!

The Third Young Master walked over with a bitter face, his head drooping, and said: Old man, this has nothing to do with me. They insisted on calling me Young Master...

Qin Xiaoyao, Tie Kongshan! When Qin Xiaoyao and Tie Kongshan appeared, almost everyone on the stage looked ashen-faced.

Your Majesty, my stomach suddenly hurts so much, I can't take it anymore, I need to go to the toilet, you guys hold me off for a while... Dugu Hongjian suddenly clutched his stomach, his face full of pain, sweating profusely as he bent over, and quickly ran off the stage, dashing from behind the stage towards the backyard of Tianping Manor.

The three great constables said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, it's extremely easy to be ambushed when you go to the outhouse. We must go and protect the Grand Councilor!" Without waiting for Du Gongfu's reply, they ran off with Dugu Hongjian.

Zuo Tianzong, the leader of the Moon Worship Cult, suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Oh dear, how could I forget? Today is the day my wife is about to give birth, and she's waiting for me to come back and hold the baby! I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I have to go first... Second Moon Guardian, three elders, what are you all standing there for? Hurry up and protect me back! Don't you know it's easy to be ambushed on the road?"

The Moon Worship Cult members then hurriedly ran off the platform, using their fastest lightness skills to circle around behind the platform, using it to block the Third Young Master and the others' view, and ran towards the backyard of Tianping Manor.

"Your Majesty..." Large beads of cold sweat suddenly appeared on Hengtianwang's forehead: "Oh no, my old wound has flared up again... Damn it, how could the old wound from the stab wound in my waist thirteen years ago have recurred at this critical moment? Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can still hold on... Ouch, I can't take it anymore..." Hengtianwang clutched his lower back, his massive body staggering backward a few steps, his teeth clenched so tightly: "I... can hold on..."

"Alliance Leader!" The five sword commanders cried out in unison: "Alliance Leader, you can't push yourself! This old wound of yours, if left untreated for even a moment, could cost you your life. You should hurry and find the 'Immortal Physician' Ping Sanzhi!" Without further ado, they lifted Hengtianwang up, and the five sword leaders apologized to Du Gongfu: "Your Majesty, lives are at stake, we must go first, please forgive us!" Zhao Ziyang ,

the patriarch of the Zhao family in Beihai, frowned, then suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his voice hoarse: "Your Majesty, I... I've suffered a qi deviation... Quick, all of you, find me a secluded and safe place to protect me, quick..." Before he could finish speaking, he fell straight back to the ground.

Seven Zhao family retainers rushed to support Zhao Ziyang. One of them, a man in his sixties with a full head of white hair, said with a sincere and solemn expression: "Your Majesty, the patriarch's 'Reversal of Heaven and Earth' technique is extremely prone to qi deviation. I never expected it to happen at such a critical moment. We are truly sorry, Your Majesty. The patriarch's life is of utmost importance. We can only save him first, and then we will come back to kill the Qin family members another day..."

Zhou Lingfei, the patriarch of the Zhou family in Lianyun, said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I...

" Du Gongfu raised his hand and said: "No need to say anything more, do whatever you want!" Zhou

Lingfei nodded, waved his hand, and beckoned three guest elders to run off the platform. As they ran, he said, "If I hadn't suddenly remembered that I still had a few high-interest loans to collect and was in a hurry to do so, I would have stayed to fight alongside the Supreme One..."

Du Gongfu shook his head with a wry smile and turned to look at Lian Zhou Fenghua.

Lian Zhou Fenghua remained calm and composed, meeting his gaze with unusual composure.

"Why isn't the Lian Zhou family head speaking?" Du Gongfu asked with a smile.

Lian Zhou Fenghua sneered, his expression disdainful, "They're all a bunch of cowardly cowards. They all ran away in fear when Qin Xiaoyao and Tie Kongshan appeared. Although I, Lian Zhou Fenghua, am not talented, I know how to sacrifice myself for righteousness! If it weren't for the circumstances, I, Lian Zhou Fenghua, would be ashamed to associate with them!" Du

Gongfu, smiling broadly and nodding in agreement, was suddenly interrupted by Lian Zhou Feng Hua's abrupt change of tone: "However, the enemy is currently powerful, while we are outnumbered and outmatched. The men Your Majesty and Young Master Yu have sent have been eliminated, and my two sons have led the Lian Zhou family's experts away from Tianping Manor. If a battle breaks out, we are likely to lose. Your Majesty, I will go and fetch my two sons and my family's experts to help. Please wait a moment."

With that, he hurriedly ran off the stage, saying as he ran, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment, Lian Zhou Feng Hua will be right back!" "Don't worry, I won't leave you alone..."

Du Gongfu looked at Lian Zhoufeng's retreating figure with a wry smile, rubbing his nose. "I thought I'd met a true hero, but it turns out he's just a hypocrite... Believing you'll come back is truly idiotic..."

The Third Young Master and the others below the stage were talking incessantly to Qin Xiaoyao and Tie Kongshan, finally managing to explain their recent experiences, including the duel with Ximen Wudi and the situation at today's martial arts tournament.

After Qin Xiaoyao and Tie Kongshan understood the situation, when everyone looked back at the platform, they saw that only Du Gongfu remained.

A gentle breeze blew, fluttering Du Gongfu's long robe, giving off an indescribable sense of desolation.

Qin Xiaoyao looked around and saw that apart from Gu Changkong and the Four Demon Envoys still standing ten feet away from everyone, the entire training ground was empty. Qin Xiaoyao chuckled: "Hehe, I never imagined I, Qin Xiaoyao, would be so terrifying. I only just appeared and exchanged a few words with my son and nephews, and they've all run away."

Tie Kongshan laughed: "Brother-in-law, don't forget about your brother-in-law! If it were just you alone, they probably wouldn't have all escaped. Don't take all the credit for yourself!"

The Third Young Master leaned closer and whispered to Qin Xiaoyao and Tie Kongshan: "Old man, Uncle, 'If you don't kill the snake, you can strike it while it's

still hot; if you let the tiger return to the mountain, it will eventually become a threat. Should I, my eldest brother, my second brother, and I take Wei Ge and Uncle Li and wipe out all those who ran away?" Qin Xiaoyao smiled and shook his head: "Don't underestimate their strength. Although they ran away, it's only because they each had their own agendas and couldn't unite. If they had joined forces against us, even if we won, we would have paid a considerable price. Their escape today is actually advantageous to us; in the future, we can divide and conquer them one by one!"

Tie Kongshan nodded and said, "Instead of going head-to-head with a clenched fist, it's better to break its fingers one by one before the fist tightens. Breaking a fist takes a lot of effort, but breaking a finger is a piece of cake!"

Qin Xiaoyao then looked at Du Gongfu on the stage and said with a grin, "Who exactly is that person?" Du Gongfu is dead, so the Du Gongfu on the stage is obviously a fake. Everyone else has run away, yet he still dares to stay there. It seems this imposter of Du Gongfu has quite a bit of courage.

The Third Young Master said cautiously, "Old man, Wei Ge... oh no, I mean, Senior Qiao just guessed that this person is very likely the Demonic Sect Leader, Ximen Wudi."

Qin Xiaoyao and Tie Kongshan exchanged a glance, both seeing a fanatical gleam in each other's eyes.

"Is it really Ximen Wudi? That's great!" Tie Kongshan suddenly burst into laughter, "I haven't encountered an opponent worth even 20% of my strength in a long time!" Qin

Xiaoyao burst into laughter, shouting, "Not bad, not bad! If Ximen Wudi is truly invincible, then I, Qin Xiaoyao, can also go all out today!"

This handsome elder, who appeared so kind and gentle in front of his family, now disregarded all decorum and laughed wildly, looking up at the sky. A chilling aura emanated from him, making him as awe-inspiring as a mountain and as unfathomable as the sea!

His arrogant aura forced the Third Young Master and others nearby to involuntarily retreat. Only Tie Kongshan, whose body emitted a faint red glow and surged with scorching heat, remained unmoved, standing shoulder to shoulder with him!

Even Qiao Wei and Uncle Li needed to gather their strength to withstand the aura emanating from the two. The two were immediately shocked; they both sensed that Qin Xiaoyao and Tie Kongshan's current power had firmly surpassed theirs!

On the stage, Du Gongfu, seeing Qin Xiaoyao and Tie Kongshan laughing wildly, also showed a hint of joy on his face. He shouted, "Gu Changkong, you two, you two go first!"

At his command, Gu Changkong and the two who had been wanting to leave immediately turned and fled.

The Third Young Master snorted coldly, saying, "Do you think you can get away?" With that, he shot forward, his two palms thrusting out horizontally towards the Three Young Master.

Yuan Ji, one of the four brothers, suddenly turned and punched the Third Young Master in the chest, while the other three each threw a punch, striking their own brother's acupoint on the back!

Boom! With a loud bang, Yuan Ji's entire arm suddenly doubled in thickness, a whirlwind rising from his fist, forming a tornado-like black fist force that met the Third Young Master's palm strike head-on.

Boom! Another deafening roar erupted as palm and fist energies clashed, the chaotic energy blasting countless deep craters into the ground, causing the very space to tremble.

The powerful recoil sent the Third Young Master flying backward several dozen feet, staggering back another three feet before regaining his footing. Meanwhile, the four heinous criminals simultaneously coughed up blood, then used the force of the impact to flee swiftly.

"Damn it, that's unfair! All four of them combined couldn't possibly fight me alone!" the Third Young Master spat at their retreating figures, seething with resentment.

Each of the four brothers possessed at least sixty years of internal energy, totaling two hundred and forty years of cultivation. The Third Young Master, with only a hundred years of cultivation, how could he possibly contend with their combined strength?

And that clash just now was a straightforward, unadorned attack; if the Third Young Master hadn't already touched the threshold of the Heavenly Dao, he would likely have been pulverized by the combined punch of the four brothers.

So although the four brothers suffered internal injuries from the Third Young Master's palm strike, the Third Young Master also exhausted at least 80% of his strength in the fight. Now his dantian was empty, making it impossible for him to catch up.

At this moment, Qin Xiaoyao and Tie Kongshan had stopped laughing. Lei Daoshen frowned, picked at his ear, and muttered, "Why are you laughing so loudly? My ears are numb."

The Third Young Master immediately said disdainfully, "I wonder who likes to laugh and shout while cutting people, and they have the nerve to criticize others..."

Lei Daoshen immediately asked curiously, "Who? Who's so stupid? Laughing and shouting while cutting people, aren't they afraid of getting blood in their mouths?"

The Third Young Master rolled his eyes at his second brother, seeing his sincere and oblivious expression, and shook his head helplessly, not daring to say anything more.

"You are Ximen Wudi!" Qin Xiaoyao pointed at the fake Du Gongfu on the stage.

The fake Du Gongfu nodded with a smile, then brushed his hand across his face, and the fake Du Gongfu's face vanished without a trace, revealing a strange face that seemed veiled in mist or as indistinct as ripples on water.

"I am Ximen Wudi! Heaven-Covering Hand, Iron-Melting Hand, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
