Red Wolf Deputy Commander, Nothing More Than This!

Power of Momentum!

At this moment, Zhou Qing understood.

What Lin Feng had unleashed was the Power of Momentum mastered by a First-rate Martial Artist who cultivated an orthodox Internal Art and had opened the ancestral aperture between his brows.

The way Power of Momentum manifested depended on the cultivation technique practiced by the martial artist.

If the technique cultivated scorching internal force, it would be Flame Momentum. Some techniques produced heavy, powerful internal force, giving rise to Mountain Momentum, and so on.

The momentum Lin Feng wielded carried the feeling of mountains collapsing and earth splitting apart. It was Mountain Collapse Momentum.

Below the First-rate Martial Artist realm, those who had not comprehended the Power of Momentum would have their minds and wills intimidated and crushed when facing this terrifying Mountain Collapse Momentum.

First-rate Martial Artists, Second-rate Martial Artists, and Third-rate Martial Artists all belonged to the Acquired Realm, but the leap from Third-rate to Second-rate, and from Second-rate to First-rate, were both watershed divides with enormous gaps between them.

When facing a First-rate Martial Artist's "momentum," Second-rate Martial Artists basically had no power to resist. Those with weaker minds and wills would be directly cowed, their bodies unable to move.

Those with stronger minds and wills could barely control their bodies. Yet even if they managed to strike back, under the suppression of the Power of Momentum, they could at most unleash twenty or thirty percent of their full strength.

Therefore, when a Second-rate Martial Artist faced a First-rate Martial Artist, they basically had no chance of victory. If they could escape from a First-rate Martial Artist's hands and preserve their life, that was already exceedingly rare—enough to earn praise from the martial world.

If Zhou Qing had merely been a Second-rate Martial Artist, he would absolutely have been unable to block Lin Feng's punch. Under the suppression of the Power of Momentum, he might not even have been able to draw his blade before being blasted to death with a single punch.

"Die!"

Seeing Zhou Qing standing motionless where he was, Lin Feng sneered.

His Mountain Collapse Momentum had already condensed to its peak. With its enhancement, the power of his fist technique had multiplied severalfold, becoming terrifying beyond measure.

One punch, and mountains crumbled.

Yet this Mountain Collapse Momentum could not affect Zhou Qing at all.

Having cultivated the Hundred Refinements Golden Body Technique to perfection, his mind and will were unshakable. Lin Feng was only at the seventh level of the Acquired Realm, and his Power of Momentum had merely entered the beginner stage, not even reaching minor accomplishment. Naturally, he could not shake Zhou Qing's mind.

What was more, once Zhou Qing fully activated the Hundred Refinements Golden Body Technique and unleashed the Blood Qi Furnace, it could weaken the Power of Momentum to some extent.

"Good!"

As Lin Feng closed in, Zhou Qing drove the Hundred Refinements Golden Body Technique to its limit, and a dazzling golden radiance erupted from within his body.

Zhou Qing's skin seemed to have been plated with a layer of metal, gleaming brilliantly. His immense blood qi erupted and boiled, his five viscera roared, and golden blood qi formed a phenomenon above his head, condensing into a blazing golden Blood Qi Furnace.

Under the aura of the Blood Qi Furnace, Zhou Qing's own presence soared to its peak. His aura blazed like an erupting volcano, unstoppable.

Rumble!

Zhou Qing threw a punch.

There was no profound technique to it—only pure physical strength.

Yet as the punch shot forth, the surrounding air was instantly blasted apart, erupting with a thunderous roar.

Boom!

In an instant, the two fists collided violently, like two meteors crashing together in midair. Amid the deafening boom, waves of air billowed outward.

But the next moment, Lin Feng's expression changed drastically.

He felt a terrifying force instantly crush the internal force he had imbued into his fist.

Then his fist shattered outright. The flesh on his entire arm was ripped apart and exploded by that dreadful force, sending blood and chunks of flesh flying everywhere.

The bones in his arm were also covered in dense cracks, like shattered porcelain forcibly pieced back together, liable to break apart at any moment.

With just one strike, one of his arms had been crippled. Moreover, the Power of Momentum attack he had unleashed had not affected Zhou Qing in the slightest.

Thud, thud, thud, thud—

As the terrifying force struck him, Lin Feng's body staggered backward uncontrollably.

He retreated more than ten steps before finally stopping.

"Blood Qi Furnace... a Peak First-rate Martial Artist of body refinement!"

Lin Feng's face was filled with horror, disbelief in his eyes.

He had stayed in Black Stone County for half a month and investigated Zhou Qing carefully. Before being thrown into prison, Zhou Qing had merely been an ordinary physician. Yet after entering prison, he had suddenly become a Second-rate Martial Artist and successfully escaped from jail. That alone had already been inconceivable.

But now, a Blood Qi Furnace phenomenon hovered above Zhou Qing's head.

This was a special phenomenon that only appeared when a body-refining technique had been cultivated to its utmost limit, reaching the ninth level of the Acquired Realm.

No matter how he thought about it, Lin Feng could not understand how Zhou Qing could possess such terrifying strength in so short a time.

"You're not Zhou Qing!"

Lin Feng even began to suspect that Zhou Qing was someone else in disguise.

Whoosh!

A flash of blade light was Zhou Qing's reply.

Thud!

The next moment, Lin Feng's body seemed to lose all support. First, his knees hit the ground, then his head struck the earth as he collapsed.

"My lord!"

Seeing this, the other two Profound Wolf Guards revealed looks of terror.

From Zhou Qing's full-strength attack, unleashing the Blood Qi Furnace phenomenon and crippling Lin Feng in one move, to drawing his blade and ending Lin Feng's life with a single slash—it had all happened far too quickly for anyone to react.

The people of Zhou Manor also changed expression one after another, their eyes filled with despair and terror.

Their emotions rose and fell like a roller coaster.

They had originally believed that with Lin Feng, the Red Wolf Deputy Commander of the Eagle Wolf Guard, appearing, they would be able to escape this calamity.

Yet they had never expected this Red Wolf Deputy Commander, Lin Feng, to die so quickly—and to be crushed with such devastating ease.

Lin Feng was a First-rate Martial Artist at the seventh level of the Acquired Realm. He possessed a formidable reputation throughout Anqing Prefecture and was also a deputy commander of the Eagle Wolf Guard. In ordinary times, who would not treat him with utmost respect and fear him like a tiger?

Yet today, Lin Feng had died right before their eyes. If word of this spread, it would be enough to cause an even greater uproar.

Zhou Qing would rise several more places on the imperial wanted list.

"The Red Wolf Deputy Commander is nothing more than this." Zhou Qing's tone was calm as he turned his gaze toward the other two Profound Wolf Guards. "Now it's your turn."

"Run!"

At his words, the two Profound Wolf Guards felt every hair on their bodies stand on end. A chill rose from the soles of their feet and shot straight to the crowns of their heads.

They immediately fled in separate directions.

But it was already too late to run.

Zhou Qing moved, instantly catching up to one of the Profound Wolf Guards. His glittering golden fist shot out and landed on the man's forehead.

Bang!

With a dull impact and the sound of shattering bone, the Profound Wolf Guard's forehead immediately burst apart, blood mixed with brain matter splattering everywhere.

This was how body-refining martial artists attacked—bloody and brutal.

Seeing his companion's gruesome fate, the other Profound Wolf Guard was so frightened that his soul nearly left his body, and he sped up even more.

But how could Zhou Qing give him the chance to escape? His body flashed again as he drove his movement technique to its limit, quickly catching up to that Profound Wolf Guard.

"You die too!"

As the words fell, Zhou Qing threw another punch.

The Profound Wolf Guard activated all his strength, trying to block Zhou Qing's strike.

Unfortunately, the gap in their strength was far too great.

Bang!

This Profound Wolf Guard could not escape the same fate. His forehead burst apart, blood spraying everywhere.
