CH 32

“Pu!!”

Lin San barely suppressed coughing out blood. He hadn’t expected Qin Feng to truly stoop to such shameless levels.

Didn’t they agree on working together to defeat the enemies? Yet here he was, all talk and no action.

Did he truly think that his ultimate move wouldn’t have a cooldown?

Furthermore, even if the cooldown was over, he was expending ten precious years of his lifespan each time he unleashed this attack. He was basically putting his life on the line just to show off. Under normal circumstances, he would never use such an attack if it weren’t for a life-threatening situation.

“Damn it!!”

The Ximen clan’s Da Lang couldn’t care less about what Lin San thought. After seeing his younger brother getting injured and then the provocation from Qin Feng, he was furious. His spiritual power flowed out from his body, causing the air around him to fluctuate wildly.

Whoosh!!

Like fierce talons, Da Lang’s fingers tore through the air. Each strike was aimed directly at Lin San’s vitals. The veins on his arms were bulging, which bore witness to the indescribable aura emanating from his body.

His domineering aura weighed down on the surrounding few meters, even the air itself was tense.

“Fuck!!”

Lin San couldn't stop himself from cursing as he swiftly blocked the incoming attacks with his longsword.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sword’s silhouette clashed with the silhouette of Da Lang’s claws, causing sparks of fire to appear wherever they went.

Lin San had just unleashed his ultimate move, but given the great gap of a great realm between their cultivation levels, he could only hold on for three minutes.

Pu!!

Fresh blood splattered as Da Lang’s claws lacerated Lin San’s body. His expression became distorted due to pain as a gash appeared on his body.

“Has it ended?!”

The surrounding spectators grew anxious, worried at the possibility of another trump card that Lin San might have hidden.

“Qin Feng, what are you waiting for? Do something!”

Lin San was pushed back with each collision, more and more wounds appearing on his body.

“You’re putting your hopes on Qin Feng?!”

Whether or not it was pride or whatever else, the Ximen family’s Da Lang had a visible sneer on his face, “He isn’t anything now that he’s left the Qin family. He’s nothing more but a retarded piece of trash that flaunts around his brother’s Sovereign Bone.”

“It seems like I really have to show you my strength so that you can’t disrespect me further!”

Qin Feng’s clothes started to flutter, even despite the still air, as the aura around him changed dramatically. He was surrounded by an awe-inspiring aura, resembling the majestic Saussurea flowers that sat atop mountain peaks, proudly standing against the howling winds.

As his clothes fluttered, a formless Sword Intent surrounded his body fiercely, and the Sky God Sword exploded with a brilliant light, radiating with a strength that resembled the galaxy.

“This is……Sword Intent!!”

The surrounding cultivators clamoured, rubbing their eyes in disbelief.

‘An eight-year-old child had learned Sword Intent!’

‘Fuck!!’

He had achieved this feat four years faster than Lin San, who had learnt Sword Intent at the age of twelve. How would ordinary cultivators like them even survive anymore!!

But contrary to their expectations, Qin Feng wasn’t done buffing himself.

After the brilliant glow subsided, an unblockable Sword Momentum came from his body, rampaging through the forest, cutting past the faces of the crowd like countless, invisible blades.

“Sword Heart! This is the Indomitable Sword Heart!!”

Someone in the crowd had recognised the Sword Heart, exclaiming in disbelief.

Sword Intent was obtainable, but Sword Hearts were incredibly difficult to form!

There were countless individuals that had trained with a sword their entire lives but failed to comprehend Sword Intent, let alone people who had awakened Sword Intents that were incapable of forming the Indomitable Sword Heart.

If those that had learned Sword Intent were capable of becoming famous swordsmen in their generation, those that could form an Indomitable Sword Heart could become the Sword God in Huang Gu.

One could count with their fingers the number of people that were titled Sword Gods in the entire, unending history of Huang Gu. Every single one of them stood as a peerless warrior that easily triumphed over prodigies, and the most recent example was the Sky Sword God from ten thousand years ago.

Ever since the fall of the Sky Sword God, there were no further sword gods that appeared in their world.

‘They didn’t expect this!’

‘They didn’t expect this!’

They actually witnessed a Sword God’s presence, who was actually a child that had learned Sword Heart at eight years old!

“Sword Intent… Sword Heart… How is this possible?!”

Lin San was completely dumbfounded, and his mind was completely blank.

As the successor of the Sky Sword God, who himself had comprehended Sword Intent at the tender age of twelve years old and was titled to be the first swordsman of the next century, Lin San was renowned in Huang Gu. Yet, he paled in comparison to an eight-year-old child.

“Run!!”

The Ximen brothers were gripped with panic, their instincts wanting them to run away from this demon.

“As a disciple of Confucianism, I have a saying to impart to the two of you, ‘Take things as they come!’”

The corners of Qin Feng's mouth were slightly raised as his hand touched the handle of his sword.

Clang!!

The crisp sound of metal resounded as something akin to the Milky Way appeared from the seas of clouds, bringing forth the descent of an endless amount of Sword Intent.

“What kind of sword style is this!?” Da Lang’s pupils constricted. He didn’t dare to let his guard down in the slightest as the sound of wind cutting came from his razor-sharp talons.

Ding!!

The powerful sound from the clashing of metal reverberated in their eardrums as sparks flew. The dried, fallen leaves on the ground were swept into the air as astonishingly ravaging winds materialised with each flash of the blinding sword light.

Drip!

Amongst the noise, a drop of blood dripped from the Sky God Sword.

And once the fallen leaves had touched the ground yet again, flowers of blood bloomed from the bodies of the Ximen brothers as they collapsed into puddles of blood.

“Ding dong! Congratulations to Master for killing two people! You have obtained 200 villain points!”

“Since you’re here, let this be your final resting place!”

Qin Feng cast a nonchalant glance at the fallen Ximen brothers as he picked up their storage bags. Aside from hidden weapons and darts that were commonly used in the Jiang Hu, there was also a scripture named the Great Ridge Art.

“How despicable!” Qin Feng criticized the items before keeping them away. He then picked up his bamboo basket before leading the dazed Zi Yuan away.

“Gulp!!”

The surrounding crowd swallowed their saliva, with no one daring to chase Qin Feng any further.

He was a prodigy that had grasped the Indomitable Sword Heart. Offending him meant that they were offending the future Sword God. Not a single influential force could withstand the fury of a Sword God.

Quickly—

The riveting information about Qin Feng had quickly spread, causing the entire Huang Gu to go wild.

“Good, good, good!”

The first ancestor of the Qin family hid in his blankets to cackle after he had heard of the news.

They had assumed that his indomitable heart would be harmed by using the Sovereign Bones, but he would have never expected that such a pleasant surprise would come so suddenly.

Indomitable Sword Heart!!

The trait of a Sword God, capable of dominating an era!!

“Now, only Qin Hao is left!”

The ancestors were no longer worried about Qin Feng. They set their sights on Qin Hao instead, worrying about whether or not he could walk out from this trauma and become a true Sovereign.

………

The imperial palace of Da Xia.

The emperor was currently in the midst of choosing his concubine happily, without a care in the world.

However, even before he could fully immerse himself in his happiness, he was urgently called away by his ministers for a meeting.

Initially, he had thought that they were fussing over nothing, but once he had learned of Qin Feng’s accomplishments—killing a Third layer Spiritual Martial realm expert with a single strike and the successful comprehension of Sword Intent and Sword Heart—he was completely flustered.

“Qin Feng is still a member of the Qin family. We cannot be sure that he will never return to the Qin family!”

“He has understood the Indomitable Sword Heart. Any mistakes made under the heavens can be concealed!”

“Sovereign Bone, the Indomitable Sword Heart, and the Qualities of God are all gathered in one person. This old minister dares not to imagine further!”

“The Qin family still maintains their kill order on Qin Feng. We can rightfully take his head.”

“Your Majesty, you must put an end to this matter, lest your subordinates revolt!”

“.........”

The emperor’s expression reflected a storm of conflicting emotions. Eventually, he issued the command for Qin Feng’s death, regardless of the consequences……
