The River God Appears

"Grown ups!"

Seeing Li Qingfeng's defeat, Lu Ming's eyes were filled with disbelief. The master had actually lost!

He quickly stepped back and turned to run without hesitation.

"Cough cough! You dog slave!"

Li Qingfeng lay on the ground, watching Lu Ming's back, and let out an angry roar.

His legs were broken and both arms were fractured; he lay on the ground unable to move.

"I hate it!"

Li Qingfeng was filled with rage and intense resentment. He still had trump cards in his Storage Belt that he hadn't used yet, but due to carelessness, he had now lost the ability to resist.

"Walk?"

Qin Ming sneered, his massive body transforming into a blur. He took three steps at a time, each step propelling him dozens of feet forward. His final leap covered a hundred feet, landing like a cannonball.

He spread his five fingers, and his huge palm looked like a five-finger mountain.

"Bang!"

With a loud crash, the bluestone floor tiles shattered into pieces. Lu Ming was slapped to the ground, like a rotten melon being smashed to pieces, with blood, flesh, and internal organs splattering everywhere.

This brutal and bloody scene made everyone present feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Now it's your turn."

Qin Ming turned to look at the Spirit Medium, his blood-red eyes sending a chill down Spirit Medium spine.

Although this Spirit Medium was not the mastermind behind the River God Sacrifice incident, she still played a significant role in instigating the conflict and deserves to be executed!

"You can't kill me! Don't bother."

The Spirit Medium chuckled, showing no fear in her eyes.

He acknowledged that Qin Ming was indeed strong.

But that doesn't mean she can be killed. She is an anomaly, an existence beyond reason. For ordinary creatures, the head and heart are fatal parts, but for her, as long as she is left with severed limbs and a broken body, she will not die.

"Can't be killed? I'd like to try."

Qin Ming let out a cold snort, and his entire body shot out like a cannonball. His iron fist slammed heavily onto the Spirit Medium's head, unleashing a huge roar. Waves of air rolled out, and the entire air was rapidly distorted and vibrated.

The Spirit Medium let out a painful wail as her entire body was smashed into a bloody pulp, blood and foam splattering all over the ground, her severed limbs flying several meters away.

"You... you can't kill me."

In the pool of blood, the Spirit Medium's mouth was still opening and closing, making sounds. Her flesh and blood began to regenerate, and her severed arms and legs quickly gathered together, restoring her to her original appearance in the blink of an eye.

"Kid, I told you, you can't kill him..."

"Bang..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Ming raised his fists high and slammed them down, smashing the Spirit Medium into a pulp with a loud "bang."

The Spirit Medium wailed, and her physical body was reassembled once more.

"Bang!"

Qin Ming threw another punch.

This process was repeated hundreds of times. At first, the Spirit Medium could reconstruct her body in just a breath, but later her reconstruction speed became slower and slower, and after a hundred times, reconstruction became extremely difficult.

Qin Ming squatted down, looked at the pile of mangled flesh on the ground, and laughed, "Looks like you're not truly immortal after all."

The Spirit Medium opened her mouth, but before she could utter a sound, Qin Ming slammed a punch into her face. Her newly formed head exploded once again. Immediately afterward, Fire Poison and Sha Qi surged from Qin Ming's palm, igniting the Spirit Medium's mangled body. Even so, the Spirit Medium was still rebuilding her body; the Fire Poison and Sha Qi could only erode a very small portion of Spirit Medium power.

"Young master, strange phenomena cannot be judged by ordinary standards. The fire elemental power that ordinary Ghost Entity fear has no effect on them."

Ling'er suddenly said.

Qin Ming seemed to be deep in thought. He withdrew his fire energy, and a wisp of Pure Yang Fire surged from his Dantian along his meridians to the tip of his finger. He pointed his finger at the Spirit Medium's Qin Ming.

"Laugh!"

It was like a drop of cold water splashed into a boiling oil pan, instantly exploding and sizzling. Wisps of white smoke rose from the Spirit Medium's forehead, and white blisters the size of longan fruits swelled up. The blisters continued to expand and then suddenly burst open, oozing white pus.

The pus seemed to have a strong corrosive effect, melting half of the Spirit Medium's head.

"Pure Yang Fire! You actually possess Pure Yang Fire!"

The Spirit Medium's voice was shrill and filled with terror; she was no longer as calm as before, because the Pure Yang Fire could truly extinguish her!

Qin Ming ignored it. Seeing that the wisp of Pure Yang Fire was exhausted, he activated a wisp of Extreme Cold Power.

This extreme cold energy evolved from the third stage of the cultivation technique, formed by the combination of the internal energy of the Diamond Shield and demonic techniques. The pure yang energy, on the other hand, evolved from the second stage.

The two have completely different strengths.

Qin Ming used the same trick again, and the extremely cold air landed on the Spirit Medium. In an instant, the Spirit Medium's corpse, which was originally lying in a pool of blood and broken flesh, was covered with a thick layer of frost.

"Extreme Cold Power!"

The Spirit Medium was terrified. Before she could even beg for mercy, the icy aura had already frozen her entire body.

Looking at the Spirit Medium who was completely frozen, Qin Ming's heart stirred.

What happens when Pure Yang Fire collides with extreme cold ice?

A wisp of Pure Yang Fire surged from his fingertips, and with a flick of his finger, the Pure Yang Fire landed on the Spirit Medium who was completely frozen.

"Snap! Snap!"

Countless cracks instantly appeared on the ice, which then shattered into pieces with a loud "bang".

[Add 50,000 Free Attribute Points]

Qin Ming's pupils suddenly contracted.

Killing a monster grants 50,000 Free Attribute Points!

Unfortunately, strange creatures are extremely rare, far fewer in number than Ghost Entity. Qin Ming was lucky to encounter this one, and it wasn't very strong; it wasn't truly immortal, otherwise it wouldn't have died so easily at his hands.

"You... you killed the monster?!"

Li Qingfeng stood there stunned, his expression terrified, as if he had seen a ghost.

Are you kidding me!

It's common knowledge that the Strange One is immortal. Even Li Qingfeng's father, a powerful Xiantian expert, couldn't kill the Strange One. But Qin Ming actually did it!

For the first time Li Qingfeng, who had never taken Qin Ming seriously, felt fear towards Qin Ming.

Qin Ming not only successfully cultivated the forbidden technique "Fire Poison Art" of Wangjing Prefecture, but also cultivated "Black Sha Skill" and more than a dozen Horizontal Training Martial Arts. Now he has become half-human and half-demon, obviously having cultivated the techniques modified by a great demon. His strength is terrifyingly unparalleled. What Li Qingfeng finds most unbelievable is that despite such chaotic cultivation, Qin Ming has not died!

"Fifty thousand!"

Qin Ming smiled.

This is like a pillow delivered just when you're about to fall asleep.

Fifty thousand is enough for him to reach the Greater Mastery realm of "Yin-Yang Guidance," at which point he might be able to compete with experts in internal energy.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming looked at Li Qingfeng.

Now that he has completely offended this person, he certainly cannot leave him alive. However, once his father finds out about this, he will definitely not let him off the hook.

That's a Xiantian expert, whose lifespan has increased by a hundred years, who can fly through the air, whose inner energy can emanate from their body, and who can injure people with flying leaves or kill people from a distance.

Once Qin Ming is targeted by such a powerful figure, with his current strength, he will only face certain death!

Qin Ming quickly regained his composure.

He turned and stared at the constables, his voice cold. "Release them and get out."

Seeing the tall, imposing monster before them, the constables quickly released the Pure Boys and Girls, letting them run to their parents.

The city lord of the Desolate City, the heads of various Lineage, and the leaders of gangs looked at each other and retreated without saying a word.

Even Li Qingfeng, a master of the Bright Strength, had fallen; how could they dare to step forward and stop him?

Did I let you leave?

Qin Ming spoke slowly. His voice wasn't loud, but it sent chills down everyone's spines and made their scalps tingle. They all involuntarily stopped talking.

Qin Ming reached out and untied the ropes binding Li Shengnan, then gave her Healing Pills and set her aside to rest.

Qin Ming.

Xiong San led his men out from the crowd.

He had been hiding in the distance, and only came out after seeing that the situation was under control.

Qin Ming nodded, and his body suddenly shrank, returning to its original size.

Everyone suddenly realized that the monster was actually a human in disguise. Their fear intensified; wasn't this a demon?

"Hehe, hehe, haha!"

Li Qingfeng lay on the ground, laughing maniacally.

"Why are you laughing?"

Qin Ming walked over and took off the Storage Belt wrapped around his waist.

"I laugh at you for being so reckless. You disrupted the River God Sacrifice; do you think the higher-ups will let you off the hook?"

Li Qingfeng's eyes were cold as he slowly spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Oh, right, with your background, you probably don't understand what I mean by 'above,' so let me tell you: the River God Sacrifice was a private agreement between Wangjing Prefecture and the River God, backed by the imperial court! You've broken the agreement, and neither the imperial court nor Wangjing Prefecture will let you off the hook. You sinner, you won't live much longer!"

Li Qingfeng laughed wildly, looking up at the sky.

"Bang!"

A fist slammed down, smashing all his teeth to pieces.

"You should worry about yourself first."

Qin Ming said coldly.

"Qin Ming, what about the River God Sacrifice? If we don't send Pure Boys and Girls to the River God today, will it really bring disaster to the Desolate City, just like they say?"

Xiong San walked over, a hint of worry on his face.

"Don't worry, I'll offer Sacrifices to the River God later."

As he spoke, Qin Ming's gaze fell on Li Qingfeng.

Compared to Pure Boys and Girls, Li Qingfeng, a Bright Strength expert, had much more abundant Qi and Blood.

What do you want to do?

Li Qingfeng suddenly had a bad feeling. Could it be that Qin Ming was going to throw him down to feed the River God?

"Qin Ming, you can't do this!"

Li Qingfeng screamed in terror, "My father will never let you get away with this!"

Don't worry, you won't be alone.

Qin Ming looked at the group of powerful figures in the city.

These people, including the city lord of the Desolate City, are responsible for searching for Pure Boys and Girls every year. They are the ones who should be thrown into the Li River to feed the River God!

"Run!"

The crowd scattered in all directions, fleeing for their lives.

Qin Ming stomped his foot and transformed into a blur, quickly giving chase.

After a short while, more than a dozen people were found with their arms and legs broken and thrown onto the fishing boat.

Qin Ming sat at the bow of the boat, as the nearby current propelled the fishing boat rapidly toward the center of the Li River.

Upon arrival, Qin Ming didn't waste any words. He threw the people into the river one by one, with large stones tied to their bodies, and they quickly sank to the bottom of the river.

Soon only Li Qingfeng remained.

When Li Qingfeng saw Qin Ming tie stones to his body, he was utterly terrified.

With the lessons of the past right before his eyes, he will soon be sunk into the river like the leaders of various gangs and the lord of the Desolate City.

"Boy, aren't you afraid my father will seek revenge? I'm his only son! It's extremely difficult for Martial Artists to have offspring after breaking through to the Xiantian. If you kill me, my father will definitely not let you go!"

Li Qingfeng was so frightened that his voice changed.

"Even if I don't kill you, will you let me go?"

Qin Ming sneered, leaving Li Qingfeng speechless for a moment.

If he manages to escape alive, he will definitely seek revenge. At that time, not only Qin Ming, but everyone around him will die!

"If you let me leave, I'll pretend this never happened. I don't need the Storage Belt anymore; I'll give it all to you. And when we get back, I'll give you a few Ninth-Rank Martial Art, how about that?"

Qin Ming slowly shook his head, too lazy to waste any more words with him.

After practicing Demon Arts, ordinary martial arts became basically useless against him.

Qin Ming picked up Li Qingfeng.

"You little beast, the Li Lineage and the Chen Lineage will never let you get away with this!"

With eyes full of resentment, Li Qingfeng thrown into the river with a "plop".

Just as Qin Ming turned around, the river below suddenly began to swirl, and a terrifying Yao Qi shot into the sky.

Qin Ming's expression changed drastically.

The River God has appeared!
