Innate Power, Celestial Human Transformation.
Once one breaks through to the Innate Realm, they can wield a sliver of Heaven and Earth Power. The deeper oneâs comprehension of the Innate Realm, the more Heaven and Earth Power they can wield, and the stronger they become.
Qin Feng had comprehended a trace of the Wind Realm, so by using his Innate True Qi, he could wield a sliver of Wind Power.
Reaching Great Success in Realm Power allows one to condense a Seed of Heaven and Earth, form a Martial Dao Embryo, and break through to the Condensing Vein Realm.
In truth, what Qin Feng had truly relied on to break through to the Innate Realm was a trace of Tide Sword Intent. His strongest ability was also the wisp of Innate Tide Extinction Sword Qi born from the fusion of his Innate True Qi and Tide Sword Intent.
"Fall back!" Seeing four of his trusted men fall one after another, Liu Qingheâs face darkened. He hurriedly recalled the remaining eight Innate Strong Persons. Liu Qinghe knew that against an expert who had comprehended a Wind Attribute Realm, more people were actually less effective!
CRACK! CRACK!
Looking at the only eight young men who remained, Liu Qingheâs five fingers clenched so tightly they dug into his flesh. He bit his lower lip with clenched teeth, his heart bleeding with grief.
His gaze fixed on the black-robed youth, venomous as a centipede, Liu Qinghe bit out each word through clenched teeth.
"Qin Feng, you killed my brothers-in-arms. Today, not only will you die, but everyone close to you will pay a terrible price! Iâll make you wish you were dead!"
The Ancient Sword drooped. A faint light glimmered in his jet-black eyes as Qin Feng looked up at Liu Qinghe and said coolly, "You wonât get the chance. One year from today will be the anniversary of your death!"
Qin Fengâs figure blurred into motion. His black robes, set against the Snow Peak, made him look like a phantom. In a flash, he unleashed a sword strike that cut through the air toward Liu Qinghe.
The first strike is the deadliest!
The piercing sword light was nearly invisible against the snow, appearing before Liu Qinghe in the next instant. It was about to plunge into his chest.
Just then, a warning flared in Qin Fengâs mind. A sinister, cold green aura burst through the air from the side. The chilling intent felt like a needle at his back.
Enveloped by the sinister, cold green light, Qin Feng felt as if he had been plunged into ten-thousand-year-old glacial ice. A profound terror rose from the depths of his heart.
Qin Fengâs brow furrowed. His body twisted, transforming into a wisp of clear wind and vanishing, reappearing a hundred paces away.
SIZZLE! A ball of green fire shot through the spot where he had just been, slamming into a large rock. The rock instantly melted, forming a large hole! But just as quickly, the hole froze over, turning an icy green and radiating a bone-chilling cold.
Qin Fengâs pupils contracted slightly. âWhat terrifying green fire!â
A beautiful figure appeared before Liu Qinghe. She was a young woman as pure and lovely as a narcissus, dressed in green, her beauty unparalleled. Her fingers were spread, and in her hand, she held a ball of brilliant green flame.
The green fire rumbled, yet strangely, it exuded a deep, profound chill!
It was Lu Han, the woman who had been standing beside Liu Qinghe earlier.
"Cold Yin Green Fire!" His longsword pointing to the ground, Qin Fengâs gaze grew heavy. With just one glance, he recognized it as a peculiar flame formed from the coagulation of Heaven and Earth Power.
Cold Yin Green Fire was a type of highly poisonous fire seed formed by the heavens and earth, hidden deep within miasma-filled deadlands. It was exceedingly rare, and once refined, its power was terrifying.
Even from a distance, that ball of green fire gave Qin Feng an extremely terrifying feeling, making the hair on his body stand on end.
âThis thing is extremely dangerous!â
His heart heavy, Qin Feng said coldly, "Lu Han!"
"Youâve heard of me?" A trace of surprise flickered across Lu Hanâs pretty face, quickly replaced by disdain. "For a little bastard from the countryside, youâre somewhat knowledgeable!"
"Heard of you? Of course I have!" Qin Feng sneered. âA bastard from the countryside?â He chuckled derisively.
"Lu Han, right? The famous âconcubine-facedâ girl from All Stars Academy, the one who throws herself at men! Your reputation precedes you. One of Liu Qingheâs mistresses. The heart of a proper wife, but the fate of a concubine! Who doesnât know?"
âConcubine-faced? Throws herself at men?â
Lu Hanâs pretty face flushed crimson, then purple. Her chest heaved, and her breathing grew ragged.
Lu Han was a proud woman with ambitions as high as the heavens, but Qin Fengâs words made her feel as if she had been cast into hell.
Qin Feng wasnât wrong. She truly didnât have the fate of a proper wife. No matter how deeply in love she and Liu Qinghe were, no matter how passionate, she could never be his main wife.
Because Liu Qinghe already had a fiancée arranged by his family!
But the truth of it only made Lu Han even more furious!
Lu Han lifted her head, the resentment in her once-pure eyes so thick it was as black as ink.
"Qin Feng, you should have kept your mouth shut!" Her voice seethed with violent fury.
Qin Feng looked at the pretty girlâs twisted face and said with amusement, "Is that so? Why?"
"Because running your mouth often comes with a price!" With a furious roar, Lu Hanâs figure transformed into a streak of green fire and shot forward.
An intensely cold, basketball-sized green flame tore through the air and hurtled toward Qin Feng!
âThe little shrewâs combat power is off the charts. But so what if you throw a tantrum? No matter how noble you think you are, youâre still just a concubine!â With a cold laugh, Qin Fengâs figure twisted and appeared behind Lu Han.
"Shut up! Shut up!!" Lu Han roared in fury.
Resentment thick in her eyes, Lu Han seemed to have eyes in the back of her head. She spun and thrust her palm out. Amidst a sky full of palm phantoms, a basin-sized ball of Cold Yin Green Fire rushed forward with a roar.
That ball of green flame was like a verdant meteor, its speed incredible. It arrived in the blink of an eye!
Qin Fengâs face was cold, but he was surprised inside. âAlso at the Innate Realm, Lu Han is more than just a cut above other geniuses.â
The Cold Yin Green Fire, in particular, gave him an extremely dangerous feeling. If it touched him, he would be maimed, if not killed.
Unleashing the Clear Wind Refining God Step, Qin Fengâs figure retreated explosively. Lu Hanâs form followed like a shadow, the sky-filling green flames clinging to him like maggots on a rotting bone, making Qin Feng extremely wary.
"A perfect chance!"
On the sidelines, Liu Qinghe and the other man, who had been watching coldly, saw their opportunity and struck in an instant!
Liu Qingheâs figure shot forward. With a single slash, he thrust his sword straight at Qin Fengâs back.
The thrust of his sword manifested the profound principles of Tai Chi Yin and Yang and the Eight Trigrams Celestial Essence.
Within the chilling sword light Liu Qinghe unleashed, eight different types of Heaven and Earth Power were actually flowing. Each one was powerful enough to tear Qin Fengâs body to shreds.
Yang Chen also attacked. His sword was utterly vicious. His strike was faster than lightning, like the dawn tearing through the night, aimed squarely at Qin Fengâs flank.
Three people, attacking from three directions at once! The timing was perfect!
His upper, middle, and lower paths were all sealed. The killing intent was aimed directly at his vitals. Qin Feng felt his scalp tingle and go numb.
Qin Feng knew this was bad. âDamn it, attacks from the upper, middle, and lower routes are all fatal blows. No matter which two I dodge, Iâll be hit by the last one!â
Although Qin Feng had comprehended the Wind Realm, it was only the first level. Pincer-attacked by three experts like Liu Qinghe, who were all further along the path of Realm comprehension, he was suddenly at a disadvantage.
Choose the lesser of two evils! A ferocious glint flashed in his black eyes. In an instant, Qin Feng made his decision!
Forcing himself to take a breath, Qin Fengâs body spun in mid-air. Just then, a streak of green flame cut through the air and passed under his chest. But before Qin Feng could even sigh in relief, two beams of sword light, nimble as swimming dragons, pierced the sky and locked onto his figure.
A chill ran down Qin Fengâs spine. The two longswords were as swift and fierce as lightning. No matter which one he dodged, he would be struck by the other.
Liu Qinghe and Yang Chen exchanged a look, triumph in their eyes. Their killing intent surged.
Qin Feng managed a desperate leap, letting Liu Qingheâs longsword graze past his waist.
However, at that moment, Yang Chenâs sword arrived! A hint of triumph appeared in Yang Chenâs eyes. He was very confident in his sword!
âQin Feng is dead for sure!â
Just as Qin Feng turned, the indescribably Fast Sword arrived. He could no longer dodge.
In fact, Qin Feng had no intention of dodging. A savage grin spread across his face, his dark eyes glinting!
PFFT! To Yang Chenâs astonishment, his longsword, fast as lightning, slammed into Qin Fengâs chest. The moment the longsword pierced flesh and blood, Yang Chen quickly realized something was wrong.
He looked up just in time to see blood trickling from the corner of Qin Fengâs mouth, his eyes as savage as an Asuraâs. Excruciating pain shot through Qin Fengâs chest, the agony twisting his face. Forcibly suppressing the pain, Qin Feng drew his arm back like a full-drawn longbow and brought his Ancient Sword slashing down!
âThis is bad! He wants to take me down with him!â The unease in Yang Chenâs heart reached its peak! His heart even stopped beating for a moment!
Yang Chen sucked in a cold breath, a flicker of terror in his eyes. This was the first time he had ever met someone so fiercely brave.
"This madman!"
In his panic, Yang Chen tried to twist the hilt and pull his sword out, but to his horror, Qin Fengâs flesh and muscle clamped down tightly on the blade.
Panicked, Yang Chen looked up. In that instant, a piercing, cold light filled his pupils.
Blood sprayed, and a Six Yang Leader instantly shot into the sky!
