"Everyone, we've never had a grudge against you, past or present. There's no need to..."
Looking at the more than a thousand Wei Hu Gang disciples surrounding them, Zi Yuan knew they had no chance of escaping. All she could do was try to keep smiling and explain that they hadn't killed any of the Wei Hu Gang disciples. It had all been Lin San's doing.
"That doesn't matter anymore. Our target is Qin Feng!"
The more than a thousand Wei Hu Gang disciples were visibly excited. They looked at Qin Feng the way lecherous men looked at an unmatched beauty.
"Why are they after you?!"
Hiding behind Qin Feng, Zi Yuan couldn't understand. They'd killed Wei Hu Gang disciples without a problem, yet the gang had gathered over a thousand men to surround Qin Feng.
Qin Feng thought for a moment. "It's probably because I'm handsome!" ??
"Uh!!"
Zi Yuan couldn't help rolling her eyes. She hadn't expected the little brat to be so conceited.
The leading squad leader spoke up. "Eldest Young Master of the Qin Family, you're surrounded with nowhere to run. I advise you to surrender at once, before someone gets hurt."
"You're sure you're the ones who've surrounded me?!"
Facing over a thousand nameless extras, Qin Feng didn't panic in the slightest. In fact, he felt a strange excitement stirring inside him.
Ever since he'd refined the Nine Swords of Changkong with the help of the Ten Ancestors, he'd always used the Changkong Divine Sword against his enemies, completely overlooking the fact that it could split into nine swords for fighting crowds.
"Is there something wrong with this kid?!"
The thousand Wei Hu Gang disciples burst into mocking laughter. They figured the Eldest Young Master of the Qin Family must have something wrong with his head.
He was asking whether they'd surrounded him?!
Could it be that he thought he'd surrounded all thousand of them by himself?!
"If you won't surrender, then attack!"
At the leading squad leader's command, a black mass of more than a thousand men charged toward Qin Feng.
"This is it..."
Zi Yuan closed her eyes in despair, her heart heavy with sorrow.
Especially since her stomach was still growling. It looked like she wouldn't get to eat Qin Feng's chicken before she died.
Buzz, buzz!!
A series of piercing sword cries suddenly rang out.
Qin Feng quickly formed a Finger Seal. The Changkong Divine Sword before him split into nine miniature swords, which floated in the air and circled around him.
"Nine Swords Unleashed!!"
Qin Feng formed another Finger Seal and pointed at the thousand men charging toward him.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A chorus of rushing air filled the space. The nine swords streaked across the sky like meteors. Without a single flashy flourish, they flew straight ahead, wildly reaping heads.
"What are those things?!"
The crowd soon realized something was wrong. As they watched people fall one after another, fear continued to spread through their hearts.
The nine swords were tiny and elusive, making them impossible to guard against. In no time at all, they'd claimed over a hundred heads, and not a single person had managed to get close to Qin Feng.
"Ding! Congratulations, host. You have slain one person and obtained 100 Villain Points!" "Ding! Congratulations, host. You have slain one person and obtained 100 Villain Points!" "..." As heads continued to fall, the system notifications rang out one after another. "Run! He's a devil!!" At last, someone couldn't bear the fear in his heart. He turned and fled in terror, finally realizing that the Eldest Young Master of the Qin Family's ferocity had nothing to do with his age. With sword strikes that fast and precise, no number of attackers would make a difference. Once the first person fled, a second and a third followed... Fear spread through the crowd. No one was thinking about the Qin Family's bounty anymore; they only wanted to get away from this great demon as quickly as possible. "Oh my god!!" Zi Yuan covered her lips and cried out, stunned by the sight before her. Was this the peerless Heavenly Pride of legend?! Even with a thousand men attacking him, none of them could withstand a single blow! "Phew..." Qin Feng let out a long breath and waved the nine miniature swords back to him. He might have been cutting down these nameless extras like wheat, but controlling all nine swords took a tremendous amount of energy. Even with the Heavenly Treasure Gourd rapidly restoring his mana, he couldn't keep it up for long.
"Ding! Congratulations, host. You have slain a total of 232 people and obtained 23,200 Villain Points!"
"Phew!!"
Qin Feng let out another breath, calming himself down.
Although the gains from slaughter were considerable, killing could become addictive and lead someone down the demonic path. That was why cultivators kept themselves in check, striving to avoid falling into demonic ways.
Of course, some people chose to embrace the demonic path in pursuit of power.
But he had a powerful background and a cheat on his side. There was really no need for him to give himself a smoky makeup look and turn himself into something neither human nor ghost.
Just then—
More than a dozen figures appeared in the sky, hovering in the air with flying swords beneath their feet.
"Entering Dao Realm cultivators!"
Zi Yuan cried out in surprise. She had no idea where these Entering Dao Realm cultivators had come from.
Entering Dao Realm cultivators were powerful experts above the Spirit Martial Realm. Their very title showed that they'd comprehended the Dao. They'd truly stepped through the gates of cultivation and begun their search for immortality.
"I've found you, Qin Feng!"
The dozen or so Entering Dao Realm cultivators looked at Qin Feng with the same gaze lecherous men gave an unmatched beauty.
"Why are they after you again?!"
Zi Yuan hurriedly hid behind Qin Feng. It was obvious that these people meant them harm.
"What else could it be? Lin San must be using my name to swagger around and deceive people!"
Thinking like a ten-year veteran reader, Qin Feng was all too familiar with the shameless tactics of protagonists. They often followed the principle of smearing whoever they couldn't defeat, using the villain's name to make enemies for him.
In any case, he would never admit that he was a wanted criminal.
"I can't believe Young Master Lin is that kind of person!!"
Zi Yuan hadn't yet seen how cruel the world could be, and she actually believed the Arch Villain.
"Let's go!"
Seeing the dozen or so Entering Dao Realm cultivators coming to kill him, Qin Feng grabbed Zi Yuan and rushed into the Ruins. He'd give Lin San a harder level to clear—no, he'd give the Protagonist a dozen or so big swords to farm.
"The Ruins!!"
The dozen or so Entering Dao Realm cultivators' eyes lit up. They couldn't resist the lure of the Ruins, and immediately urged their flying swords forward and plunged inside.
After a dizzying spin, Qin Feng and Zi Yuan entered the Ruins. It was no different from the outside world, with mountains, rivers, forests, and the alternation of day and night.
"This is a space carved out by a Great Power?!"
Qin Feng was stunned by the sight before him. He couldn't imagine what level of cultivation it would take to create a Small World.
"We need to hurry. Those people will catch up any moment!"
Zi Yuan wasn't too surprised. She grabbed Qin Feng and hurried into the forest.
Meanwhile—
The cultivators who'd come for the Qin Family's Kill Order arrived one after another. They easily learned Qin Feng's whereabouts from the fleeing Wei Hu Gang disciples and also discovered the Ruins.
Word of the Ruins quickly spread, drawing countless cultivators in search of treasure.
"This old man divines that this is a land of great ill omen!"
Seeing so many people entering the Ruins in search of treasure, Qin Feng knew without thinking that this dungeon's difficulty had to be sky-high. Add the Protagonist Halo of Lin San, and fewer than one in ten would make it out alive.
"You can tell fortunes?" Zi Yuan asked curiously.
"No!"
Qin Feng shot Zi Yuan a glance. This was a land of great ill omen...
