The Gathering of Bigwigs

By a small stream.

Lin San watched Qin Feng, who was playing and roughhousing with Zi Yuan in the stream, with a complicated expression.

He never imagined that an eight-year-old child would surpass him in swordsmanship. The combination of Sword Intent and the Sword Heart's Cutting Heaven Sword Drawing Technique was simply terrifying.

His ultimate move came from the Sword God of Longevity, while Qin Feng's was self-created. How could he not fall into self-doubt when facing an eight-year-old brat with such a technique?

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for striking the Chosen One's confidence, causing him to doubt himself. You have received 100,000 Villain Points!"

"Already 100,000 points!?"

Qin Feng's spirits immediately lifted. He turned and asked with a smile, "Brother Lin, your swordsmanship is so incredible, could you teach me the basic stances?"

"Basic sword stances!?"

Lin San immediately exploded, shouting, "Qin Feng, that's enough! You've already comprehended the Invincible Sword Heart, and you want me to teach you basic stances? Are you trying to humiliate me like this!?"

"Sister Zi Yuan, he's being mean to me!!"

Qin Feng pouted, tears welling up as he threw himself into Zi Yuan's arms, nuzzling her. "I really don't know any basic sword stances, I only know how to draw my sword!!"

"Draw your sword? Cutting Heaven Sword Drawing Technique!?"

Lin San's eye twitched involuntarily, and his heart let out a wail like a marmot.

Damn it!!

Why did he have to be so demoralizing!!

A person who only knows how to draw his sword, and doesn't even know basic stances, has actually comprehended the legendary Invincible Sword Heart.

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for striking the Chosen One's confidence, causing him to doubt himself. You have received 100,000 Villain Points!"

"Lin San, why are you shouting at him? He's just a child!"

Zi Yuan, like a mother tiger protecting her cub, looked at Lin San with increasing disgust.

He lacked gentlemanly conduct, wouldn't admit to obtaining treasures, destroyed ancient ruins and killed so many people, and now he even dared to bully the future husband she intended to raise herself. Did he really think he could do whatever he wanted just because he had Heavenly Heart City backing him?

Others might fear his Heavenly Heart City, but she had never taken it seriously.

"I didn't mean it like that!"

Lin San also felt he had gone too far and said dejectedly, "I just didn't expect him to comprehend the Invincible Sword Heart yet not know any basic stances. It's hard to believe if you say it out loud."

Qin Feng thoughtfully came over to comfort him, "Brother Lin, you don't need to look like that. You're the number one swordsman of the next century. I believe you can definitely comprehend the Invincible Sword Heart. Look, I only comprehended it after passing gas last night."

"So that's why you had that expression last night! You were trying to hide the fact that you were farting!"

Zi Yuan's face was filled with disdain, and she started playfully bickering with Qin Feng again.

She completely ignored Lin San's feelings. Not only were they showing off their affection and bullying the single dog, but why did they have to come and comfort him? And why did they have to mention the number one swordsman of the next century?

Did he deserve that now!?

And to use a fart to describe how easy it was to comprehend the Invincible Sword Heart!!

Damn it!!

How could someone be so excessive, practically rubbing salt in his wounds!

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for striking the Chosen One's confidence, causing him to doubt himself. You have received 100,000 Villain Points!"

"Oh, right, Brother Lin!"

Qin Feng turned his head again and said, "I comprehended Sword Intent first last night, and then the Invincible Sword Heart. It was actually very simple."

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for striking the Chosen One's confidence, causing him to 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 right now. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid his heart couldn't take it.

"Brother Lin, where are you going!"

Qin Feng quickly ran ashore, put on his shoes, and chased after him.

What a joke!

He had earned 400,000 Villain Points in just a few sentences. How could he let him just run away like this? He had to uphold the spirit of a stubborn leech and stick to him like glue.

RUMBLE!!

A world-shattering roar echoed madly across the sky. The clouds churned and billowed like a tide, covering the sky. In an instant, the void within a radius of thousands of miles was filled with a terrifying pressure that surged forth, causing the void to tremble violently.

"Under the Emperor of Great Xia, the Lord of Long Day, Chang Kun, has been ordered by His Majesty to come and take Qin Feng's head!"

A burly figure rode an unknown Demon Beast, floating in the air. Behind him were thousands of well-trained iron-clad guards, their imposing aura like a rainbow, making Gods and Devils retreat.

"Lord of Long Day, Chang Kun!!"

Nearby cultivators who were chasing Qin Feng exclaimed in shock at the sight.

They were very familiar with Chang Kun. He was the head of the Imperial City Guard and Emperor of Great Xia's personal bodyguard, whose cultivation was incredibly profound, beyond words.

The entire Imperial City Guard has been mobilized, led personally by their boss, Chang Kun, all to deal with a mere eight-year-old Qin Feng, who has only reached the third level of Transcendent cultivation.

Talk about overkill!

"Holy crap, such a huge show of force!"

Qin Feng knew this situation wouldn't end well and prepared to log into his max-level Red-haired Old Monster character at any moment.

RUMBLE!!

Another earth-shattering roar echoed madly across the sky as another group descended, riding the clouds. Their terrifying pressure swept across the land, unreservedly.

Their powerful aura and pressure overwhelmed the Imperial City Guard.

"Qin Feng is one of us, from the Qin Family. We don't need the royal family to trouble themselves!"

As the local power in the East, the Qin Family naturally knew the Imperial City Guard had arrived and what they intended to do. Thus, Tenth Ancestor personally led the Thirteen Protectors to rush over.

If the planned objective couldn't be achieved, they would safely escort Qin Feng back to the Qin Family.

Chang Kun said without fear, "His Majesty doesn't wish to act personally, but Qin Feng is rebellious and has harmed his own kin. He fears your Qin Family wouldn't be able to carry out the punishment, so he sent me to do it."

"Who says our Qin Family can't carry out the punishment!"

Tenth Ancestor's gaze was sharp. "Today, I will take him back and enforce the Qin Family's ancestral laws!"

"Enforce ancestral laws!?"

Chang Kun scoffed openly. "If your Qin Family truly had the will, Qin Feng wouldn't be alive today. I suspect either your Qin Family is raising a 'gu' or you have some unspeakable secret."

"Say whatever you want!"

Tenth Ancestor stopped wasting words and reached out to grab Qin Feng.

"You dare!!"

Chang Kun's eyes suddenly turned sharp. A battle halberd appeared in his hand, and he drove the Demon Beast beneath him to dive down.

RUMBLE!!

The two sides collided heavily. A powerful energy storm swept across the land, and the ground began to shake violently, with hideous cracks spreading continuously.

"Run!"

The nearby crowd fled in terror. It was truly a case of gods fighting and mortals suffering.

"I knew long ago that your Qin Family wouldn't comply obediently. Fortunately, I was prepared!"

A cold smile played on Chang Kun's lips as he took out a Sky-Piercing Arrow and shot it into the air.

THUD!

The Sky-Piercing Arrow exploded in the air, revealing a large character 'Kun'.

RUMBLE!!

Terrifying pressure descended continuously. Banners representing various major forces appeared: the East Factory, the West Factory, the Jinyiwei... Major aristocratic families also arrived. There were at least over a hundred thousand people.

"What!!"

Tenth Ancestor's face changed drastically. He hadn't expected so many people to arrive.

This was it – if Qin Feng didn't die today, war would break out!

"Qin Feng, I'm killing you today, no one can stop me!"

Chang Kun, exuding overwhelming dominance, held his battle halberd and pronounced Qin Feng's death sentence to the entire Archaic Era...
