Chapter 148: Little friend, truly, after three days of separation, one must look at you with new eyes

Tap, tap, tap.

Slow footsteps sounded in the square, Qin Jiang walked slowly toward Jiang Yun, looking not like he was fighting, but rather like a wealthy young master roaming beautiful scenery.

Opposite, Jiang Yun watched the approaching Qin Jiang, his heart feeling as if it were pressed by a giant rock, the footsteps sounding as if they were stepping on his heart.

Clenching the battle saber, a wisp of flame appeared in his eyes, gradually becoming scorching.

Red Blood!

This was his inherited blood derived from his bloodline!

Whoosh—! Flames rose, exploding instantly, burning the air and making a whistling wind sound.

"Martial Uncle-Grandmaster, be careful! This bloodline power, even I cannot fully control it!"

After saying that, his legs exerted force, his figure rushed forward suddenly, leaving a string of afterimages and stirring up a strong wind.

Watching the attacking Jiang Yun, Qin Jiang wore a smile, his right hand pointing like a sword, a layer of diamond luster appearing.

Clang, clang, clang! Clang, clang, clang! A series of metal-clashing sounds rang out in an instant, and the figures of the two disappeared from everyone's sight.

Boom, boom, boom! The air exploded, the figures of the two appeared and disappeared, and every time they appeared, the roaring sound became more intense.

Sword finger and battle saber clashed, every time hitting the weak point of the power, making the crimson flames wrapped around the saber body surge, almost shattering.

Boom-boom-boom, boom-boom-boom!!! The battle became more and more intense, cracks slowly appeared on the stone platform of the square, and then shattered with a bang!

Thick smoke and dust rose, and the explosion sound froze accordingly.

The smoke gradually dissipated, revealing the figures of the two.

Qin Jiang's sword finger pointed at Jiang Yun's brow, leaving a drop of blood, while Jiang Yun's battle saber had cut the right corner of Qin Jiang's clothes, a wisp of clothing fragments floating down, turning into black fire and disappearing.

"Congratulations, you won."

Qin Jiang withdrew his hand, and the next instant returned to the stone seat and sat down.

In the square, Jiang Yun still maintained the posture of swinging the saber, his eyes filled with frustration.

Just now, at the final moment of his full eruption, his pure strength even reached a level comparable to a Fourth-tier peak Divine Martial Artist!

But even so, he still couldn't break through Qin Jiang's sword finger.

If it weren't for Qin Jiang deliberately tilting his body, he wouldn't have been able to touch the other party at all! Is technique really more important than power itself?

Slowly putting away the battle saber, he bowed slightly toward Qin Jiang, "Thank you, Martial Uncle-Grandmaster, for your teaching."

At the edge of the square, Bai Lingyun, Ning Youyi, and others slowly regained their senses from the shock.

Before the competition started, they would never have thought that this would be the result.

They originally thought that even if this Martial Uncle-Grandmaster could win, he would never win so easily.

After all, Jiang Yun's true strength was not weaker than a Fourth-tier Divine Martial Artist, and he was definitely a top-tier existence in combat power at the same tier!

But the reality was that Jiang Yun not only failed to defeat Qin Jiang at the same tier, but even after completely releasing his restraints at the end, he still failed to defeat Qin Jiang.

Worthy of being an existence comparable to a Fifth-tier Divine Martial Artist during the Secret Martial Artist period!

Even if he limited his strength to the level of an ordinary Second-tier Divine Martial Artist, he still had the strength to fight across two tiers.

Don't think that it was just crossing two tiers; you know, Qin Jiang's Second-tier Divine Martial Artist and an ordinary Second-tier Divine Martial Artist were vastly different.

If it were them, or even Jiang Yun and a group of Hall Masters and Elders, they might not be able to be invincible at the Second-tier with the strength of an ordinary Second-tier Divine Martial Artist, let alone fight across tiers.

It could only be said that the realm Qin Jiang was in was truly a bit beyond the specifications.

"Junior Brother, you've worked hard," the Changshou Sect Master smiled.

Among those present, except for him and Jiang Yun himself, no one was afraid that they could see that Qin Jiang had let him have one hand at the end.

"Senior Brother is too kind, the disciples of our sect are all outstanding talents," Qin Jiang smiled.

The Changshou Sect Master nodded and looked at everyone, "Alright, everyone, then next I will talk about the arrangements for this time.

The four southern cities of the border line will be guarded by Hall Master Bai and the Great Elder in Nanlin City, and the three Personal Disciples Ning Youyi, Bai Lingyun, and Shang Hangjin will guard the three cities of Songshan, Yuehe, and Antai respectively.

The three eastern cities of the border line will be guarded by Vice Sect Master Qin and the Third Elder in Wanghai City, and the two Personal Disciples Jiang Yun and Yuan Anyi will guard the two cities of Huiyun and Chaofeng respectively.

Hall Master Yuan will guard the sect, and the Inner Sect Secret Martial Artists of each peak will be assigned to garrison each city according to the arrangements. This will be the arrangement for now, depart in five days!"

Qin Mansion.

"A million-strong Huai Kingdom army invasion!" Xu Yanran exclaimed, not expecting the Huai Kingdom's actions to be so fast.

You know, the so-called million-strong army did not refer to ordinary soldiers; ordinary people were not qualified to participate in a national war.

Every one of these armies was at least a martial artist who had practiced martial arts! There was absolutely no shortage of second-rate experts!

It could be said that if there were no intervention from sect martial artists, these armies would be enough to slaughter through the entire Seventeen Kingdoms of Shenzhou.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, "Your plan to make money can speed up a bit; I think this war will not end so easily, and there will inevitably be a large number of refugees, so you must be prepared."

Someone will inevitably make a fortune from the national disaster; rather than letting those people eat it and not spit it out, it is better to take it all yourself, and then it won't be so troublesome when you use it later.

With his current strength and status, within Yuan Prefecture, there were not many who dared not give him face.

"Good, I understand. Just, if someone looks for trouble then, should I kill them directly or capture them first?" Xu Yanran said.

Qin Jiang was startled; he thought Xu Yanran would ask what to do then.

Taking a golden token from his bosom, "This is the Sect Master's Golden Token; whoever sees it will give some face.

If there is trouble, driving this Golden Token can allow you to possess strength comparable to a Divine Martial Artist in a short time; how to deal with it is up to you, and I will solve any problems that arise."

Xu Yanran picked up the Sect Master's Golden Token and could clearly feel the power contained within it.

Her fingertips moved slightly, and a drop of blood appeared and fell on the Golden Token, disappearing in an instant, and an invisible but tangible connection appeared between the two.

"Besides those things, keep an eye on the ancient maps and various antiques and old objects of the Ancient Yu Kingdom ruins for me," Qin Jiang said.

Going to Wanghai City, he probably wouldn't have much time to collect potential points, so he wanted to collect some before that.

"Understood, Husband, I've been keeping an eye on them for a long time, and a batch will be sent within three days," Xu Yanran smiled.

Although she didn't know why Brother Qin was collecting these antiques and old objects, she didn't ask much.

"Haha, those who know me are Yanran!"

The next day, Governor's Mansion.

"Vice Sect Master, the Governor is already waiting for you," an old man who looked like a steward came out to greet him.

Walking into the mansion, a faint floral fragrance dispersed, making Qin Jiang feel a bit familiar.

Before long, walking past several round arches, they arrived at a slightly ancient small courtyard.

The display in the courtyard was very simple, a stone table, several stone stools, and a loquat tree that was lush and green.

"Governor, Vice Sect Master Qin has arrived," the steward walked outside the room door and bowed slightly.

Creak~ The wooden door opened, and a handsome middle-aged man walked out, smiling, it was the Governor Lin Mingzhi from that day.

"Little friend, truly, after three days of separation, one must look at you with new eyes."

Lin Mingzhi looked at Qin Jiang, feeling moved in his heart.

He knew Qin Jiang had gone to the Changshou Sect, and originally thought he would become the sixth Personal Disciple, but didn't expect that after a few days of not seeing him, he had become the Changshou Sect Master's Junior Brother, the first Vice Sect Master the Changshou Sect had ever had.

Especially after hearing that yesterday Qin Jiang had defeated the current number one Personal Disciple of the Changshou Sect with only the strength of an ordinary Second-tier Divine Martial Artist.

He had seen Jiang Yun, who could definitely be called a heaven-defying talent, especially with his mysterious bloodline and infinite potential.

But such a heaven-defying talent was defeated by someone crossing two tiers while going all out, which was truly hard to believe.

If it were him, he wouldn't quite believe it when he truly saw Qin Jiang today.

But when he truly saw Qin Jiang, he had to believe it, because he discovered that he could no longer see through Qin Jiang.

This meant that Qin Jiang at least had the strength of a Sixth-tier Divine Martial Artist.

"Governor is too kind," Qin Jiang smiled.

"Hehe, come in and sit down, I have already prepared tea."
