Golden Battle Clan

These past few days, Xiong Tatian had been in a terrible mood, his heart filled with endless rage and regret.

Ten days ago.

He and Li Tianji had been staking out the perimeter of the Land of Beast Burial, waiting for Qin Yu.

To their absolute horror, the Land of Beast Burial suddenly exploded. Because they were near the edge, the two of them were blown away by the shockwave. Whether it was bad luck or not, they were both hit by debris, sustaining serious injuries.

But ignoring their wounds, the two of them frantically rushed towards the Land of Beast Burial.

Just as they reached the flattened remains of the Land of Beast Burial.

A powerful formation light barrier blocked their path. With their strength, they couldn't break through it at all.

As they were growing increasingly anxious, a succession of powerful individuals appeared, shocking them and making them extremely worried about Qin Yu.

While they were trying to find a way to break the formation.

A world-shattering battle erupted within the Land of Beast Burial. The self-detonation of a Heavenly Fire Sect expert caused the very heavens and earth to change color. Fortunately, the formation was there, so the two of them were unharmed, but the formation's humming still injured them.

After finally recovering, they found that the Land of Beast Burial had already become a massive crater. Apart from the powerful experts, no one with lower cultivation had survived. They were completely despairing, believing Qin Yu had died in the Land of Beast Burial.

The regret and guilt in their hearts made them wish they were dead. After the experts left, the two of them desperately searched the Land of Beast Burial for Qin Yu, wanting to see him alive or find his body. After searching for several days, they found nothing.

Along the way, Xiong Tatian, blaming Li Tianji for his reckless calculations regarding Qin Yu, broke ties with him, and they parted ways.

Since Qin Yu had previously mentioned he was from Tianwu Main City, after parting ways with Li Tianji, Xiong Tatian came to Tianwu Main City alone, hoping to find Qin Yu's family and try to compensate them. This way, Xiong Tatian might feel a little better.

While Xiong Tatian was searching, he was suddenly hit by a tea table from the Myriad Phenomena Pill Shop. This acted like a fuse, igniting the rage and killing intent within Xiong Tatian, leading to the scene from before.

At first, Xiong Tatian thought he had misheard Tong Yunfei, so he tried his best to suppress his inner agitation, confirming it multiple times.

When he heard Tong Yunfei belittle Qin Yu, Xiong Tatian finally understood that Tong Yunfei had called Qin Yu a lowly person, which instantly sent him into a rage.

Tong Yunfei never expected Xiong Tatian to attack him. After all, Xiong Tatian was only at the Gangqi Realm mid-stage, yet he dared to attack someone at the Heavenly Tempering Three Realms?

Was he tired of living? Thinking of Xiong Tatian's foolish appearance, Tong Yunfei sneered inwardly. He had been looking for an excuse to teach Qin Yu a lesson, and now... Xiong Tatian had made the first move, which was exactly what Tong Yunfei wanted.

The moment Xiong Tatian's fist came at him, Tong Yunfei didn't dodge. The Gang Qi within his body instantly condensed into a defensive shield, allowing Xiong Tatian to attack.

But the moment Xiong Tatian's fist touched Tong Yunfei's Gang Qi shield, Tong Yunfei's expression changed drastically.

"Boom!" A dull thudding sound exploded. Tong Yunfei, caught off guard, felt an overwhelming force surge towards him, instantly destroying his Gang Qi shield. Before he could counterattack, Xiong Tatian grabbed Tong Yunfei's shoulders with both hands, his tiger-like eyes filled with endless rage and ferocity. He stared at Tong Yunfei and growled, "Pretty boy, you called my elder brother a lowly person? Let me see how noble you are!"

Xiong Tatian violently lifted Tong Yunfei above his head and slammed him towards the ground.

The enraged Xiong Tatian didn't notice that the balcony was made of wood. It was already shaking from his jump, and now with him slamming down so forcefully, the balcony was smashed through, creating a hole.

But Xiong Tatian couldn't care about that now. As he fell, he grabbed Tong Yunfei and tried to slam him into the ground again, wanting nothing more than to smash Tong Yunfei to death.

Zi Xun'er, standing on the balcony, her red lips slightly parted, was filled with disbelief. She could also tell Xiong Tatian's cultivation was only at the Gangqi Realm mid-stage, yet he had broken through Tong Yunfei's Gang Qi shield with a single punch?

How terrifying was this person's strength? When did this Qin Yu get such a ferocious brother?

Zi Xun'er couldn't help but look at Qin Yu, only to find him wearing a wry smile.

When Xiong Tatian's voice had first sounded, Qin Yu had pretty much predicted this situation. It wasn't that he hadn't considered stopping Xiong Tatian, but he could also see that Xiong Tatian had been holding back a lot of anger, likely because of him. At this point, unless someone was far superior in cultivation to Xiong Tatian, no one could stop him.

Back then, Xiong Tatian had dared to fight Ling Yao to the death, so why would he fear Tong Yunfei of the Heavenly Tempering Three Realms?

But this time, Qin Yu also knew that Tong Yunfei had underestimated him. He probably never expected Xiong Tatian's strength to be so ferocious.

Just as Qin Yu had thought, Tong Yunfei was extremely shocked. He never imagined that someone at the Gangqi Realm mid-stage could unleash such terrifying power. He was at the peak of the Heavenly Tempering Realm, and his Gang Qi shield was incredibly strong, something even ordinary Heavenly Tempering Realm cultivators would find difficult to break.

Yet, it couldn't even withstand one punch from Xiong Tatian. After being slammed down several times by Xiong Tatian, Tong Yunfei's Blood Essence churned, and he finally came to his senses. Gang Qi erupted from his body, forming a storm that forced Xiong Tatian to release him.

Standing up with a carp flip, Tong Yunfei looked at the ferocious, fleshy face full of bulging muscles. His expression was grim, and he said, "Not bad, a Gangqi Realm mid-stage cultivator possessing such strength. I misjudged you. You are qualified to fight me." As he spoke, Tong Yunfei summoned a golden greatsword, and the golden mark between his eyebrows suddenly glowed, forming a golden light that adhered to Tong Yunfei's clothes.

Qin Yu, watching from above, said in a deep voice, "Golden Battle Body! Someone from the Golden Battle Clan!"

Qin Yu had found Tong Yunfei's forehead mark somewhat familiar before, but he hadn't recalled it. Now, seeing Tong Yunfei's transformation, he suddenly remembered.

The Golden Battle Clan was one of the top battle clans in the Immortal Martial World. Legend had it that the Golden Battle Clan was favored by heaven, not only possessing unparalleled combat talent but also a natural bloodline battle armor. This armor originated from the golden mark between Tong Yunfei's eyebrows.

This golden mark was called the Source of Gold. It only appeared after the golden bloodline was awakened, meaning Tong Yunfei had awakened his golden bloodline.

The golden light screen enveloping his clothes, though seemingly fragile, should not be underestimated. Its defensive power was extremely formidable. According to ancient texts and hearsay, this was only the first layer. It was rumored that when the Source of Gold reached its peak, it could form golden battle armor with the bloodline, its defense comparable to top-tier immortal artifacts!

Qin Yu hadn't expected Tong Yunfei to be from the Golden Battle Clan. However, he wasn't too worried. Xiong Tatian was from the Mad Bear Clan, and when he went berserk, he was also extremely terrifying.

Hearing Qin Yu's exclamation, Zi Xun'er looked at him in surprise. She hadn't expected Qin Yu to recognize Tong Yunfei's identity at a glance, which made her even more curious about Qin Yu. Recalling what Elder Ge had said, she couldn't help but feel suspicious. Even if Qin Yu's mother was an inner disciple of the Myriad Heavens Battle Sect, Qin Yu shouldn't have such discerning eyes, right?

"Whether I'm qualified to fight you or not, you insulted my elder brother, so I'm going to beat you to death!" Xiong Tatian clenched his fists, his arms slightly bent, his bulging trapezius muscles slowly rippling. A more powerful aura emanated from him. He stared at Tong Yunfei and attacked again.

Tong Yunfei acknowledged Xiong Tatian's strength and no longer underestimated him. Compared to before, he seemed reborn. His demeanor was solemn, and his eyes flashed with intense fighting spirit. Xiong Tatian's power had ignited his fighting spirit!

As Xiong Tatian stepped forward, the greatsword in Tong Yunfei's hand glowed golden and swept directly towards Xiong Tatian. The sword, carrying a sword energy several feet long, swept out, forcing him to retreat.

But what Tong Yunfei didn't expect was that Xiong Tatian would charge straight at him, ignoring the sword energy.

"Boom!" Xiong Tatian collided with the greatsword. Disregarding the bloodstain the sword energy had carved on his shoulder, he turned and threw a punch at Tong Yunfei. The force was incredibly fierce, and even the space around them seemed to crackle like thunder.

According to the Mad Bear Clan's age reckoning, although Xiong Tatian was only a little over eleven years old, he had lived for over a hundred and ten years. Before he left his clan, he hadn't just tempered his body; he had also learned the combat techniques of the Mad Bear Clan. After all, before reaching adulthood, the Mad Bears had low intelligence and easily attracted trouble. If he didn't have some strength, how could his father have felt at ease letting him venture out?

Sensing Xiong Tatian's fierce punch coming, Tong Yunfei glanced at the bloodstain on Xiong Tatian's shoulder, a cold smile on his face. He let go of the greatsword with both hands and grabbed Xiong Tatian's fists, pulling backward. In that instant, as his hands met Xiong Tatian's, he forcefully pushed forward.

With a pull and a push, he converted all of Xiong Tatian's strength into his own.

For a moment, Xiong Tatian felt the sound of bones grinding in his right hand. Before he could pull his right hand out, Tong Yunfei leaped into the air, his legs, imbued with golden Gang Qi, landing on Xiong Tatian's right arm in a kneeling position.

"Ah!" Xiong Tatian cried out, the sound of cracking bone echoing from his right hand. But Tong Yunfei gave him no chance to resist. With a powerful suplex, he slammed Xiong Tatian's burly body hard onto the ground.

"Boom!"

The earth shook violently. Tong Yunfei's face contorted into a savage grin. He leaped into the air, and the giant golden sword floating beside him appeared in his hands. He thrust it fiercely towards Xiong Tatian's head, intending to kill him in a single blow.

"Careful!" Qin Yu roared. Although Tong Yunfei appeared lean, his physical body was incredibly strong. He had underestimated him before; now, in a real fight, he understood just how formidable he was.

"Mad Bear Strength!"

Just as Tong Yunfei's hands drove the sword down, Xiong Tatian let out a roar that was almost bestial.

A powerful aura erupted from within Xiong Tatian's body.

Tong Yunfei inwardly cursed his bad luck.

But at this moment, Xiong Tatian's hands clamped down hard on his golden greatsword!

What filled Tong Yunfei with terror was that Xiong Tatian's arms, already exceptionally thick, now resembled tree trunks. Veins bulged, muscles layered upon muscles, as if containing boundless power!
