Harm Others, Harm Yourself

The entire room fell silent.

Just a city...

Even the feathered people were speechless, staring wide-eyed at his words.

This city is huge! It encompasses thousands of ethnic groups, not just a small county town; it's practically a nation... yet its reputation spans the entire country. You're really laughing at our city-level rivalry...

In reality, Qin Yi's words were completely empty. He couldn't actually recruit many people, nor would he bother to do so. Xun Wood City wouldn't necessarily welcome his recruitment efforts, and even the Winged Human Race might not be happy about it.

But he managed to intimidate the crowd, at least people would worry that he might actually pull out a whole truckload of Bread People at any time, and who knows, there might even be a powerful figure like Wuxiang among them, so they really wouldn't dare to regard him as a completely rootless and isolated person.

I wonder if Zuo Qingtian would be furious if he found out.

Qin Yi has been skirting the line regarding the implication of "helping the Winged Human Race's rule." Showing off the other Other Shore Flower is simply a way to weaken the Ghost Carriage Race's power; the elixir is a response to Gu Shuanglin's businesses; and displaying the business card is to demonstrate his strong background. On the surface, it seems he outshines everyone else. But to be precise, the purpose of the marriage alliance with the Winged Human Race doesn't quite align. If you have no roots in Xun Wood City, that's all that matters. What does having a strong background in Shenzhou have to do with this...

But Qin Yi's aura was so explosive at this moment that Gu Shuanglin held back for a long time and couldn't bring himself to say in public that Qin Yi was completely worthless.

This was originally a project where Qin Yi had zero advantage, but he managed to show off an aura of overwhelming power over the three races.

Gu Shuanglin hesitated for a long time, thinking to himself that even if he insisted that Qin Yi had no foundation, it wouldn't make much difference, since Qin Yi only needed to persuade the Winged Human Race, not him. He decided to put that aside for now, leaving him as a thorn in Qin Yi's side, and focus on the next item first.

If he wins against all of them, he can shamelessly harp on this one point, causing everyone to deny the outcome and start a new competition. That would be a viable backup plan.

Gu Shuanglin didn't think Qin Yi could win every single one. He was barely scraping by in the first one, so what could possibly happen after that? Especially in terms of individual strength, could the three of them really not beat him alone?

He and Li Jiuyou were both holding back just now; their strength is not as weak as it appears!

Li Jiuyou probably thought the same thing. The two looked at each other but said nothing.

Xiang Ming didn't say anything. He admired Qin Yi at this moment, even though he knew Qin Yi was skirting the line. He felt that Qin Yi's spirit had already won.

In the ensuing silence, the High Priest smiled and said, "Then let's proceed to the second item. Please re-enter the Cloud Realm."

Qin Yi stepped in first.

Yu Shang couldn't help but say, "Qin Yi."

Qin Yi turned his head. "What?"

Yu Shang was a little worried and whispered, "You... you really want to fight three of them?"

Qin Yi laughed heartily, "With that in mind, even three more wouldn't be a loss!"

Yu Shang looked at him with adoring eyes, feeling truly captivated.

Qin Yi's earlier guess was correct. It was hard to describe what kind of feelings Yu Shang had for him. One was her insistence on the bond of Chu Rong, and the other was Stockholm syndrome. She was moved by his sweet words and felt as if she had accepted Husband. It was also the tradition of the Winged Human Race that was at play.

In reality, the emotional connection wasn't there. At the very least, Yu Shang didn't understand Qin Yi at all.

In terms of abilities, she didn't even know he was an Alchemist.

In terms of temperament, I never thought he would have the courage to publicly announce his intention to marry her and be willing to fight against three opponents for her sake.

Originally, Qin Yi didn't need to do this; he could have easily won her over... The reason he did this was simply to save face for her, to silence the gossip within and outside the clan, and to gain the genuine recognition and blessings of the clan members.

The Qin Yi she knew before... was just a two-dimensional label, and only now is he gradually becoming three-dimensional.

This is probably the first time Qin Yi has experienced getting on the train before buying a ticket... well, even though he didn't actually get on the train.

Anyway, it's never too late to start now.

The so-called Cloud Realm is a small realm, mostly used for special rituals during the Winged Human Race's sacrifices. Once inside, you are in the clouds, standing on the vast clouds, with nothing else.

This would be quite suitable for a martial arts competition.

Gu Shuanglin and Li Jiuyou flanked Qin Yi from the front and back, but Xiang Ming, who should have joined them in a triangular encirclement, did not participate and stood far away by himself.

Qin Yi persuaded him to come over, "Brother Xiang, I know you are proud and unwilling to fight in a group, but this is a test given to me by the Winged Human Race. I have to fight three of them... Brother Xiang, please do me a favor for the Winged Human Race."

Xiang Ming was both amused and exasperated. "You're quite interesting. If we really follow your logic, then I'll be responsible to the Winged Human Race and won't hold back. Have you thought this through? You never actually said you wanted to fight three at the same time. You could have easily taken a shortcut, like what you just did."

Sure enough, he could tell that the previous item was just skirting the line. Qin Yi laughed and said, "Precisely because the previous item wasn't very hard, this one should be even harder."

Xiang Ming laughed and said, "Just don't regret it when you lose."

"How could I possibly lose!" Qin Yi suddenly twisted his body and threw a punch, unleashing a surge of powerful Gang Qi that struck the tip of a slender sword. The slender sword "whooshed" open, transforming into an umbrella shape to block the remaining Gang Qi.

Ubumebu Umbrella Sword.

Gu Shuanglin's sneak attack.

"Brother Gu seems to hate me a lot." Qin Yi grinned, and as his fist clashed with the umbrella sword, a spiked club suddenly emerged from his ring.

With a "rip," the spikes on the stick suddenly swelled up, piercing the umbrella to shreds.

Gu Shuanglin's eyes bulged.

The Wolf Tooth Club emerged, twisting and turning in mid-air.

Qin Yi reached out and caught the Wolf Tooth Club, laughing, "This umbrella won't keep out the rain."

It wasn't just ineffective at blocking the rain; once the umbrella surface was torn, many of its functions were ruined! Gu Shuanglin was heartbroken, yet he simply couldn't comprehend what kind of stick this was. How could it pierce his umbrella surface without the master applying his own Gang Qi, simply by its own spikes growing on their own? His umbrella wasn't made of paper! It was Law Treasure!

He didn't have time to think before the Wolf Tooth Club swung around and came crashing down on him.

Gu Shuanglin dodged quickly, but Li Jiuyou had already moved.

A sharp screech of wheels scraping the ground rang out, and a ferocious nine-headed phantom swooped down from different corners. Qin Yi's Sea of Souls clenched violently, and his Qi and Blood began to churn.

He looked up at the nine heads rushing towards him, and suddenly a suction force came from the Wolf Tooth Club.

The nine phantom heads uncontrollably burrowed into the Wolf Tooth Club, like a clay ox sinking into the sea, having no effect whatsoever.

Li Jiuyou's eyes bulged even bigger than Gu Shuanglin's, and blood even trickled from the corner of his mouth.

His innate magical Technique Method was inexplicably broken, causing him some backlash.

What's going on?

Qin Yi thought to himself, "Whatever you do, don't use soul magic. Bangbang's been giving the dog food lately, and it's getting all hungry..."

"Brother Qin, pay attention."

Xiang Ming's voice came, and Qin Yi turned his head to look. He saw a dazzling seven-colored light with a majestic and awe-inspiring aura rushing in.

Qin Yi's True Sight flashed, breaking the spell analysis.

This dazzling light has a rather unique nature; it's not simply about power. It has various effects, such as suppression and exorcism, as well as suppressing the effects of Law Treasure and temporarily sealing them. It's quite interesting.

"That's interesting." My Great Staff doesn't like these special effects!

"Boom!" The Wolf Tooth Club's Gang Qi and the seven-colored dazzling light collided, and for a moment they were evenly matched.

Xiang Ming and Qin Yi exchanged a glance and smiled at the same time.

Strong fighters crave such clashes, finding them exhilarating and satisfying, unlike the previous show of restraint or the subsequent sneak attack. A battle should be a battle!

Seven-colored feathers swirled around him and shot straight at Qin Yi's chest.

Qin Yi used one hand to hold the dazzling light with his Wolf Tooth Club, while turning his other palm upwards.

A surging flame rose up, and colorful feathers pierced through it, like a phoenix entering the fire, dazzling and unparalleled.

A shadowy figure attacked from behind; it was Li Jiuyou again.

Qin Yi stamped his foot.

An ancient wooden sword whistled out, piercing straight through the shadows.

Outside the light screen, the winged people watched with bated breath.

This distinguished guest... is quite impressive...

I thought it was already difficult enough that he was evenly matched with Xiang Ming, but the fact that he could still break through Li Jiuyou's defenses while fighting Xiang Ming shows that he hadn't even tried his best against Xiang Ming yet...

Gu Shuanglin, who hadn't made a move since the umbrella broke, was now meditating with his eyes closed.

The bird egg he gave Qin Yi also contained other hidden effects... Even if Qin Yi didn't use it and wasn't affected by it, there were still hidden needles inside that could suddenly launch a sneak attack from within Qin Yi's ring, which even a god would find hard to defend against.

Qin Yi is currently in a stalemate, fighting two opponents at once, making him even more difficult to defend against.

Inside Qin Yi's ring, Gouzi sat there eating steamed buns, watching Qin Yi fight outside.

A bird egg lay carelessly tossed in a corner, and now it began to Nether Light.

The dog seemed to sense something, turned its head to look, and then thought that Qin Yi probably didn't like the bird egg... so it grabbed it and ate it in one bite.

"Ugh, this tastes awful."

Outside, Gu Shuanglin coughed up a mouthful of blood. The sudden interruption of the spell caused his Law Power to surge backward, and his meridians were almost in disarray.

What's going on here!

Qin Yi turned to look at him, grinning, "Those who harm others will ultimately harm themselves. You should get out of here first, Brother Gu."

As the words were spoken, the figure that seemed to be locked in a stalemate with Xiang Ming Li Jiuyou suddenly disappeared and appeared in front of Gu Shuanglin as if by teleportation.

In the midst of his chaotic Qi and Blood, Gu Shuanglin had no time to react before a foot appeared in front of him, kicking him in the face, a man of integrity and gentleness.
