Beside a small stream.
Lin San watched Qin Feng playing and splashing around with Zi Yuan in the stream, his expression complicated.
He had never imagined that an eight-year-old child could surpass him in the Sword Dao. The Cutting Heaven Sword Drawing Technique, reinforced by both sword intent and sword heart, was truly terrifying.
After all, his ultimate move had come from Changkong Sword God. Qin Feng, on the other hand, had created the Cutting Heaven Sword Drawing Technique himself—and he was only an eight-year-old brat. How could Lin San not fall into self-doubt?
Ding-dong! Congratulations, Host, on undermining the Son of Heaven's confidence and making him doubt himself. You have received 100,000 Villain Points!
"That's 100,000 points already!?"
Qin Feng perked right up and turned to ask with a beaming smile, "Brother Lin, your Sword Skill is so amazing. Could you teach me some basic sword moves?"
"Basic sword moves!?"
Lin San instantly flew into a rage and roared, "Qin Feng, that's enough! You've even comprehended the Invincible Sword Heart, and now you want me to teach you basic sword moves? Is humiliating me like this fun for you!?"
"Big Sister Zi Yuan, he's yelling at me!"
Qin Feng pouted, tears welling in his eyes, and burrowed into Zi Yuan's arms, rubbing against her as he complained pitifully, "I really don't know any basic sword moves. I only know how to draw my sword!!"
"Draw your sword? The Cutting Heaven Sword Drawing Technique!?"
Lin San's eye twitched involuntarily, and in his heart, a marmot let out a shrill scream.
Damn it!!
Did he really have to rub it in this much!?
Someone who only knew a sword-drawing technique and didn't even know any basic sword moves had actually comprehended the legendary Invincible Sword Heart.
Ding-dong! Congratulations, Host, on undermining the Son of Heaven's confidence and making him doubt himself. You have received 100,000 Villain Points!
"Lin San, why are you yelling at him? He's just a child!"
Like a tigress protecting her cub, Zi Yuan looked at Lin San with growing disgust.
He lacked gentlemanly manners, for one thing. Then there was how he wouldn't admit he'd obtained a treasure, and how he'd destroyed the Ruins and gotten so many people killed. And now he even dared bully her future husband, whom she planned to raise herself. Did he really think that having Heavenly Heart City backing him gave him free rein to do whatever he wanted?
She had never cared what people thought of Heavenly Heart City.
"That's not what I meant!"
Lin San also felt he'd gone too far. He said, thoroughly vexed, "I just didn't expect him to have comprehended the Invincible Sword Heart without even knowing any basic sword moves. It's hard to believe."
Qin Feng came over to comfort him. "Brother Lin, you don't have to make that face. You're the First Sword of a hundred years from now. I believe you'll comprehend the Invincible Sword Heart one day. Look, I figured it out last night after I just let out a fart."
"So that was why you looked like that last night. You were hiding the fact that you'd farted!"
Zi Yuan's face was full of disdain, and she started horsing around with Qin Feng again.
They didn't spare a thought for how Lin San felt. They were already flaunting their affection and bullying a single man, but why did they have to come over and comfort him too? And why did they have to bring up the First Sword of a hundred years from now?
Did he even deserve that title now!?
And he'd compared comprehending the Invincible Sword Heart to letting out a fart, as if it were that easy!!
Damn it!!
How could anyone be so obnoxious? It was like rubbing salt into his wounds!
Ding-dong! Congratulations, Host, on undermining the Son of Heaven's confidence and making him doubt himself. You have received 100,000 Villain Points!
"By the way, Brother Lin!"
Qin Feng turned around again and said, "I comprehended sword intent first last night, and only then the Invincible Sword Heart. It was actually very simple."
Ding-dong! Congratulations, Host, on undermining the Son of Heaven's confidence and making him doubt himself. You have received 100,000 Villain Points!
Lin San picked up his long sword and silently turned to leave.
He had to get away from this brat. If he stayed with him any longer, he was afraid his heart wouldn't be able to take it.
"Brother Lin, where are you going?"
Qin Feng hurriedly ran ashore, put on his shoes, and chased after him.
As if he'd let him go!
He'd earned 400,000 Villain Points with just a few words. How could he possibly let Lin San get away? He had to channel the spirit of a dog-skin plaster and stick to him like glue.
Rumble!!
A heaven-shaking roar suddenly rang out across the sky. Clouds surged in like a tide, rolling in from every direction. In an instant, a terrifying pressure swept through the sky for thousands of miles around, and the void shuddered violently.
"By His Majesty's command, Chang Kun, Lord of Long Day, under the Great Xia Emperor, has come to take Qin Feng's head!"
A burly figure rode an unknown demonic beast through the air. Behind him came several thousand iron-armored guards, disciplined and fierce, their momentum so imposing that even Gods and Devils gave way.
"Lord of Long Day, Chang Kun!!"
The cultivators nearby who had been pursuing Qin Feng cried out in shock, stunned by the scene before them.
They knew Chang Kun well. He was the head of the Imperial City Division and the Great Xia Emperor's personal guard. His cultivation was so powerful it needed no explanation.
Now the entire Imperial City Division had come out, led personally by Chang Kun himself, all to deal with Qin Feng, an eight-year-old with a cultivation base at the third level of the Transcendent Realm.
That was one hell of a spectacle!
"Holy crap, what a grand entrance!"
Qin Feng knew there was no way to settle this peacefully today. He prepared to summon the max-level Red-haired Old Monster at any moment.
Rumble!!
Another heaven-shaking roar rang out across the sky. A second force arrived as if riding on clouds, its terrifying pressure sweeping across heaven and earth without the slightest restraint.
Their mighty presence bore down on the Imperial City Division.
"Qin Feng is a member of my Qin Family. There's no need to trouble the imperial clan with this!"
As the local power in the eastern region, the Qin Family had learned about the Imperial City Division's arrival and what they intended to do as soon as they got there. So the Ten Ancestors had personally brought the Thirteen Protectors.
If the original plan couldn't go ahead, they would bring Qin Feng back to the Qin Family safely.
Chang Kun showed no fear. "His Majesty would rather not act personally either. But Qin Feng committed treason and murdered his own brothers. His Majesty also feared your Qin Family wouldn't have the heart to deal with him, so he sent me to do it."
"Who says our Qin Family wouldn't have the heart to do it!?"
The Ten Ancestors' eyes blazed. "Today, I'm taking him back to carry out the Qin Family's punishment!"
"Carry out the family's punishment!?"
Chang Kun made no effort to hide his contempt. "If your Qin Family truly had the heart to do that, Qin Feng wouldn't have lived to see this day. I'd say either your family is raising a venomous creature in its den, or you're hiding some unspeakable secret."
"Say whatever you like!"
The Ten Ancestors stopped wasting words and reached out to grab Qin Feng.
"Don't even think about it!!"
Chang Kun's gaze turned sharp. A battle halberd appeared in his hand, and he drove the demonic beast beneath him into a dive.
Rumble!!
The two sides crashed into each other. A powerful Energy Storm swept across heaven and earth, and the ground began to shake violently as jagged cracks spread in every direction.
"Run!!"
The people nearby fled in terror. When immortals fought, ordinary folk always suffered.
"This Lord knew your Qin Family wouldn't meekly submit. Fortunately, I came prepared!"
A cold smile curled Chang Kun's lips as he took out a Cloud Piercing Arrow and shot it into the sky.
Thud!
The Cloud Piercing Arrow exploded in midair, and a huge character—Kun—appeared.
Rumble!!
Terrifying waves of pressure descended one after another. Banners representing the various factions appeared: the East Factory, the West Factory, the Jinyiwei... and the Great Families had come too. There were at least a hundred thousand people.
"What!?"
The Ten Ancestors' expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected so many people to come.
If Qin Feng didn't die today, this was going to turn into a war!
"Qin Feng is dying today. No one can stop me!"
Holding his battle halberd, Chang Kun stood with swagger as he pronounced Qin Feng's death sentence to the whole Ancient Wasteland...
