CHAPTER 62: CHAPTER 62 ALL ENEMIES IN THE CITY_1

Qin Feiyang’s eyes turned cold as he charged straight towards one of the guards!

He intended to strike first and, at the same time, test the strength of these guards.

"Obstinate fool!"

The guard shouted coldly, slashing down with his blade.

The gleaming weapon in his hand flashed with a chilling edge!

Qin Feiyang slightly shifted his body to easily evade the attack, then extended his forefinger towards the guard’s wrist to jab it!

True Qi surged at his fingertip!

In that instant, his entire forefinger was covered in a layer of ice crystals!

—Ice Crystal Finger!

Ling Yunfei’s pupils contracted as he hastily warned, "Be careful! That’s his Martial Arts Technique. It’s extremely powerful!"

Just yesterday, Qin Feiyang had effortlessly killed several Water Pythons using this same technique!

"A Martial Arts Technique!"

Initially, the guard hadn’t taken it seriously. But upon hearing Ling Yunfei’s words, his expression changed drastically. He quickly withdrew his arm and simultaneously turned his blade towards Qin Feiyang’s forefinger!

Qin Feiyang had calculated his strike thoroughly, but he hadn’t expected Ling Yunfei to issue a warning.

Now, it was too late for him to retract his forefinger!

"CLANG!"

In an instant, the tip of his forefinger collided with the blade, and a harsh metallic sound echoed.

"Even if your finger was made of iron, I’d cut it off!"

The guard sneered.

However, in the next moment, the blade, accompanied by a loud CRACK, broke in half!

"How is this possible?"

Not only that guard but everyone else present was also stunned!

After all, the weapons of the City Lord’s guards were all made of high-quality black iron, supposedly unbreakable.

Yet now, one had been shattered by a mere finger?

Was this a dream?

His strength was unbelievably terrifying!

Qin Feiyang looked down at his forefinger, also surprised.

The ice crystal on his forefinger had shattered, completely gone.

On the tip of his forefinger, there was a shocking wound. White Bone was visible, and blood was constantly flowing out.

Although he was injured, his forefinger had not been severed.

I didn’t expect the Ice Crystal Finger to be not only incredibly powerful but also to have such outstanding defensive power.

Previously, his most commonly used Martial Arts Techniques were Charging Thunder Killing Fist, Smoke Step, Roar of the Mad Lion, and Wind-Thunder Palm.

He seldom used the Ice Crystal Finger.

Unexpectedly, the power of the Ice Crystal Finger exceeded his other Martial Arts Techniques!

If it hadn’t been for the protective layer of ice, his forefinger would likely have been severed this time.

"Jiang Haotian, don’t think you’re the only one with Martial Arts Techniques!"

"Quicksand Fist! Kill!"

After regaining his senses, the guard immediately flew into a rage from shame.

His right hand balled into a fist, True Qi spewing forth as he violently lashed out at Qin Feiyang!

"Wind-Thunder Palm!"

Qin Feiyang did not hesitate to respond with a palm strike. The sound of wind and thunder boomed, overwhelming in its power!

BOOM!

Fist met palm!

The guard’s face instantly blanched. Blood spurted from his mouth as he was forced to stumble back continuously. His entire fist was mangled, skin split open, and blood spattered everywhere!

Now look at Qin Feiyang.

He stood motionless, as steady as Mount Tai!

"This..."

Seeing this, the crowd was flabbergasted.

Only then did they finally realize they had grossly underestimated this man’s strength!

BANG!

While backing away, the guard suddenly lost his footing and fell flat on his buttocks, staring incredulously at Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang looked down at him with cold indifference, saying lightly, "So, you’re just a Five-star Martial Master, and your Quicksand Fist is only a Middle Grade Martial Arts Technique. Together, that’s merely the power of seven Savage Elephants. It seems the guards of Black Bear City aren’t that impressive."

Hearing these derisive words, a terrifying glint flashed in the guard’s eyes. He got up and shouted, "He dares to look down on us! Everyone, attack him together!"

The other dozen or so guards immediately raised their weapons and swarmed forward!

"Just you lot? Not enough!"

Qin Feiyang sneered.

He moved with the Smoke Step, sometimes using the Ice Crystal Finger, sometimes the Wind-Thunder Palm, engaging in a fierce fight with the dozen or so men on the plains!

"If I remember correctly, the last time Jiang Haotian came to the Treasure Pavilion, he was only a Three-star Martial Master."

The Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion murmured.

"So you’re saying he broke through to become a Four-star Martial Master in just one month?"

The Hall Master of the Elixir Palace asked incredulously.

The Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion nodded.

"So fast!"

All the magnates were beyond disbelief.

Breaking through a minor realm in just one month... Even if one consumed elixirs every day, it should be impossible!

The Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion continued, "In Black Bear City, only one person’s talent can compare with this child’s. That’s Lo Qingzhu. But it’s a pity..."

As he said this, he looked towards the Jiang Family Head, his eyes full of regret.

The Jiang Family Head also lowered his head, his heart filled with bitterness.

If it weren’t for that incident years ago, Lo Qingzhu’s father wouldn’t have left home, let alone abandoned the Jiang Family. Lo Qingzhu wouldn’t have taken her mother’s surname either. If none of this had happened, then the Jiang Family would undoubtedly be one of the most prominent families in Yan Province today.

The Family Heads of the Mu Family, Ling Family, and the smaller clans in Black Bear City, when looking at the Jiang Family Head, had a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes.

「Elsewhere,」

Luo Xiong, the old man in white, and the old man in black stood together, watching Qin Feiyang with keen eyes.

"Hall Master, no matter what, we must persuade this boy to join the Elixir Palace," the old man in white whispered.

"Hmm?"

The old man in black was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Strange, Old Feng. You’ve always been disdainful of everyone. Why are you so keen on this Jiang Haotian this time?"

"You don’t know?"

The old man in white frowned.

"What should I know?"

The old man in black was even more puzzled.

Luo Xiong whispered, "Old Mo, we’ve been too busy lately, I forgot to tell you. Jiang Haotian possesses..."

His words abruptly stopped.

Luo Xiong cautiously glanced at the City Lord and the other magnates.

"Possesses what? Hurry up and tell me!"

The old man in black, unable to contain his curiosity, urged in a low voice.

Luo Xiong said, "Let me be clear first. When I tell you, you absolutely must not exclaim or make a scene."

"That’s right, this must be kept secret!"

The old man in white nodded, his expression grave.

Make a scene?

The old man in black’s curiosity was thoroughly piqued.

He was a genuine War King; what could possibly shock him enough to make him exclaim or cause a fuss?

Luo Xiong leaned closer to the old man in black’s ear and said, in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I’m telling you, Jiang Haotian possesses Ninth Level Spiritual Power!"

"What? Ninth Level..."

The old man in black exclaimed on the spot.

Luo Xiong and the old man in white both glared at him.

He quickly shut his mouth, forcing the remaining words back down, and swiftly concealed the shock in his old eyes.

The City Lord and the others glanced towards the trio. Seeing their expressions were normal, they didn’t pay it any further mind.

The old man in black asked quietly, trying not to draw attention, "Hall Master, Old Feng, are you sure you’re not mistaken?"

The old man in white said, "I personally watched him test his spiritual power. How could I be mistaken?"

The old man in black drew in a sharp, silent breath.

Ninth Level Spiritual Power... No one like that has ever emerged in the entire Yan Province, from ancient times to the present! This can no longer be described merely as ’genius’; he’s a prodigy the likes of which might not be seen in ten thousand years!

"No, we must stop them quickly! We can’t let Jiang Haotian get hurt," the old man in black said anxiously.

Luo Xiong said, "No rush. Let him suffer a bit first. That will make him understand that only by joining our Elixir Palace can he disregard the constraints of the law."

"That makes sense."

The old man in black nodded.

PENG! PENG! PENG!

AHHH!!

Just then, accompanied by a series of miserable shrieks, the dozen or so guards crashed to the ground like falling meteorites, blood flying everywhere!

They weren’t dead, however, merely heavily injured!

Seeing this, a wry smile couldn’t help but appear on the faces of Luo Xiong and the two old men.

It seems that these guards from Black Bear City alone are not enough to make this boy suffer.

Qin Feiyang took a deep breath, looked towards the City Lord not far away, and said calmly, "I’ll give you a piece of advice: don’t be so self-righteous. Otherwise, your position as City Lord might not be secure."

With that said, he turned and walked away.

"You little beast! You’re seeking death!"

"The Yan King granted me the authority to govern Black Bear City! To defy me is to blaspheme the royal law!"

"This crime is unforgivable!"

"As City Lord, I now declare a bounty of one million Gold Coins for his head, as a warning to others!"

"A million!"

Upon hearing this astronomical sum, the scene instantly erupted.

Even the Family Heads of the Jiang, Mu, and Ling Families were visibly energized!

A million Gold Coins! That’s enough for the overall strength of any small family to skyrocket overnight!

"Get him!"

"Quick, surround him!"

"Don’t let him escape!"

The crowd swarmed forward, completely blocking all of Qin Feiyang’s escape routes.
