Free Web NovelChapter 111: Chapter 110: Slaying Liu Qinghe
"In war, there are no winners or losers, only life and death. She’s very smart. In a way, she’s already won this war!" Qin Feng rather admired Lu Han.
"That bitch! When I get back, I’ll tear that slut into a million pieces!" A few dozen paces away, Liu Qinghe’s body trembled with rage. Lu Han had screwed him over royally!
With Yang Chen dead, their situation had already been precarious. Now that Lu Han had fled, Liu Qinghe and his group were not only unable to kill Qin Feng, but they also had to face his counterattack.
"Liu Qinghe, save it. A year from today will be the anniversary of your death. You’ve run out of chances!" Gazing coldly at the purple-robed youth, whose face was livid with rage, Qin Feng placed a hand on his Ancient Sword as a sliver of pitch-black killing intent erupted from his eyes.
It was time to press his advantage and go for the kill.
A tangible, bone-deep killing intent flooded his eyes. In the next instant, Qin Feng appeared before Liu Qinghe, his sword slashing through the air, aimed straight for his chest.
The ferocious sword light thrust forward, chilling and deathly white!
As the sword light tore through the air, a flash of fury crossed Liu Qinghe’s eyes. His skin crawled as every pore on his body contracted violently, and the faint shadow of death crept over his heart.
"Tai Chi Bagua, Kan Water Sword!" Liu Qinghe roared. The ornate sword in his hand danced, and a pale blue Innate True Qi enveloped it, manifesting as a faint blue Innate Trigram Diagram.
The Kan Trigram is water!
The power of water is supremely yielding!
"Don’t you dare harm Brother Liu!" At the same time, six cold glints from blades and swords cut through the air toward him.
Seeing Qin Feng attack Liu Qinghe, the surrounding young men and women exchanged glances before charging forward with angry shouts.
Six figures attacked in unison. The power of Innate Martial Artists erupted—a monumental force capable of toppling mountains and overturning seas.
Caught in the giant wave formed by the fierce winds of their attacks and surrounded by six people, Qin Feng’s expression remained calm. A slight smile even touched his lips as he executed the Clear Wind Refining God Step, his figure vanishing like a wisp of clear wind.
The pressure on Liu Qinghe vanished, and he breathed a sigh of relief. But he quickly seemed to realize something and suddenly shouted.
"Get back! You’re his target!"
However, it was too late. Qin Feng’s figure moved like a gale, instantly appearing beside a panicked youth. His sword swept past, its chilling glint swelling into a surging tide.
The youth was built like a bear with a heroic temperament. At Qin Feng’s sudden appearance, only a flicker of surprise showed in his eyes, not panic. The long saber in his hand came crashing down.
The tyrannical gleam of his saber pivoted and slashed down at Qin Feng. The faint afterimage of the blade seemed to carry the grand power to split mountains and rivers.
A hint of extreme arrogance appeared in the youth’s eyes. He had comprehended the Tyrant Saber Intent, and his blade was wreathed in Innate Tyrant Blade Qi. ’Man and blade are one,’ he thought. ’A single slash is enough to shatter any enemy!’
SCHLICK!
The tide-like sword light swept past the saber’s afterimage, instantly shattering the thick-backed blade. Its momentum unchecked, the sword light continued on, unstoppably cleaving both the youth and his weapon in two.
"Young Master Xuan!" Seeing the youth slain in a single strike, Liu Qinghe’s face turned crimson as he roared in fury and lunged forward.
"All of you, go! Go now! Escape and avenge us!"
"Thinking of running? No one is getting away today!" Qin Feng’s expression was frigid. Everyone present was a genius of incredible talent. He would not allow a single one to escape. ’Letting any of them live would only create trouble down the road.’
Qin Feng instantly appeared behind another youth. This time, he used his full power, unleashing the Third Layer of the Tidal Extinction Sword!
The sword light flashed past, and the youth was instantly obliterated by its tyrannical power!
The Third Layer of the Tidal Extinction Sword’s light was so intense that not even a Martial Artist at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven could withstand it head-on.
However, directly unleashing the Third Layer of the Tidal Extinction Sword was also a great burden. Qin Feng had consumed nearly a tenth of the Innate Primordial Qi in his body.
The third, the fourth, the fifth! Relying on his Wind Power, Qin Feng unleashed the Tidal Extinction Sword three more times in quick succession, cutting down three Peak Innate Martial Artists.
Each of these three Innate Martial Artists was a renowned genius in their own right, and each had a record of defeating experts at the Martial Arts Eighth Layer, a realm above their own. And yet, none of them could withstand a single sword strike from Qin Feng!
It wasn’t that they were too weak, but that Qin Feng was simply too strong! freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Gushing blood stained the steps. The bright red seeped into the soil beneath the Snow Lotus flowers planted around the stairs, making the white blossoms seem all the more vivid and delicate.
After three sword strikes, only Liu Qinghe and a handsome youth in white, his eyes filled with bone-deep hatred, remained.
Qin Feng’s chest rose and fell slightly as the Innate Primordial True Qi circulated through his meridians. He had only two-thirds of his Innate Primordial True Qi left. And yet, the aura emanating from him grew even more formidable. His ramrod-straight figure was like an incomparably sharp Divine Sword!
"Qin Feng, I, Zhao Ying, will not rest until one of us is dead!" The white-robed youth beside Liu Qinghe stared at the five tragic corpses on the steps, the venom in his eyes so thick it was almost tangible.
This was a genius at the Martial Arts Eighth Layer Early Stage. Among the second-tier geniuses, he was ranked extremely high, with an aptitude not inferior to Liu Qinghe’s.
"As if we were ever on good terms," Qin Feng sneered, stepping over the two corpses at his feet to look up at the remaining pair.
"You know what? I hate people like you the most. You walk around with this arrogant air, acting like you’re better than everyone. You look down on others with nothing but disdain. And in the end, you force your will on people while acting like you’re doing them a favor, like tossing alms to a beggar!"
"And if something goes even slightly wrong, you immediately resort to violence, playing this ’if you won’t be my friend, I’ll destroy you’ game!"
Zhao Ying’s face was deathly pale. He couldn’t utter a single word.
Liu Qinghe coldly watched the black-robed youth approach step by step. "Qin Feng, don’t get too smug. This isn’t over between us. I may not be able to kill you this time, but you can’t kill me either! After this, I’ll be much more careful next time. I will absolutely never give you a chance to turn the tables again!"
Liu Qinghe was extremely confident in his Tai Chi Trigram Technique. The Tai Chi Bagua Sword Intent’s offensive power might not be outstanding, but its defensive capabilities were renowned.
Liu Qinghe had tested it before. Even if an expert at the Condensing Vein Realm attacked, it would take them at least ten moves to break through the defense of his Tai Chi Bagua Sword Intent.
’Qin Feng might be strong, but I’m confident I can keep us both alive!’
"You really think I can’t kill you?"
The words had barely faded when the Ancient Sword in Qin Feng’s hand let out a sharp ZING. It was as if the blade had suddenly awoken from a long slumber, unleashing a roar like that of a dragon or tiger. A beam of sword light, as sinuous as a dragon, soared out. The piercing, stunningly beautiful light instantly flooded the steps as it bore down on Liu Qinghe.
The Sword Qi was boundless, its light casting a bone-chilling glow!
The sword light filled his vision. A flicker of awe appeared in Liu Qinghe’s eyes, and an unprecedented sense of crisis welled up from the bottom of his heart. But Liu Qinghe did not panic. He deployed his Eight Trigrams Sword Intent once more, forming a Tai Chi Bagua Diagram that enveloped him in an impenetrable defense.
Liu Qinghe sneered, his eyes filled with confidence. ’So what if Qin Feng is strong? It’s impossible for him to break my Tai Chi Bagua Sword Intent!’
A cold, venomous glint flashed in Liu Qinghe’s eyes. ’The price I’ve paid this time is too steep. Next time, I’ll tear that Qin Feng into a million pieces to satisfy this hatred!’
Seeing that Liu Qinghe didn’t dodge but instead reused his old trick, deploying the Tai Chi Bagua Sword Intent to entangle him, Qin Feng was not surprised but delighted. The greatest strength of his Tidal Extinction Sword wasn’t its flexibility, but its vast and boundless Tidal Power, with each wave stronger than the last.
If Liu Qinghe had desperately tried to evade, Qin Feng really wouldn’t have had a good way to deal with him. But by defending with the Tai Chi Bagua Sword Intent, Liu Qinghe had given him the perfect opportunity!
Taking a long, deep breath, Qin Feng activated the Twelfth Layer of his power, concentrating his entire life’s cultivation into this one sword strike before unleashing it with a deafening roar.
This sword strike was the culmination of Qin Feng’s entire cultivation. His essence, spirit, and energy were all condensed within it, and his Tidal Extinction Sword even produced a fourth wave.
The sword light flew straight toward the Innate Trigram Diagram.
Liu Qinghe’s heart pounded in his chest. He could only feel a tangible aura of death rushing toward him. A trace of panic appeared on his face. He suppressed the turmoil in his heart, pushed his power to its absolute peak, coated his longsword with Innate True Qi, and did everything he could to unleash the full subtlety of his Innate Eight Trigrams Sword Intent.
CRACK! The four-plus waves of the Tidal Extinction Sword’s light slashed through. The Innate Trigram Diagram was brutally shattered by the sword light. The violent beam swept straight across the forehead of the wide-eyed Liu Qinghe, obliterating him, and his sword, where he stood!
