Chapter 36: Forbidden Arts, Taboos, Explosive Slay

Name: Qin Feng

Gene: 10x (Advancement condition: over nine years old rooster comb, sunflower, moon heart grass, flame yang stone)

Talents: Unity of Heaven and Man, super divine induction, super recovery cultivation: ninth grade (Return to Origin Technique) body refinement: nine turns (Nine Turns Dragon Elephant Technique) martial arts: Three Phase Finger Point, Carefree Wind-Stepping, Carefree Cloud-Pushing Palm, Carefree Crimson Sun Fist, Carefree Sword Canon, Instant Step, Inch Punch (first layer), Sudden Rain Three Swords etc. Dao intent: Rain (Entry). Qin Feng examined his own condition.

His cultivation is already ninth grade, the result of painstaking training without regard for cost, and also because he just broke through last night, further increasing his strength.

Adding the entry-level Rain Intent, he is practically a grandmaster-level expert.

He also has nine-turn body refinement.

Three kinds of talent.

As long as no grandmaster appears, he truly fears no one.

"Even if it's a grandmaster, what is there to fear!"

In a moment, Qin Feng's heroic spirit arose.

He did not use lightness skill, but walked step by step toward the ancestral grave site.

Not in a hurry.

Really not in a hurry.

In the village.

Qin Kai had already led more than ten people away, while Ma Chao presided over the interrogation, but his expression was grim.

"Chief steward, they had poison hidden in their mouths; they all bit it and committed suicide."

"So ruthless! What conclusion?"

"They are not clan members; they must be assassins."

"Assassins?"

Zhang Fu furrowed his brows, his worry deepening.

"Assassins, demons, sigh..."

He sighed, gazing into the distance toward the ancestral grave site.

As noon approached, Qin Feng arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The peak is only over a hundred meters high, with three other peaks beside it, connected together, forming a four-sided protective formation.

The Qin family graveyard is extensive.

It forms a large area; at that moment, over ten people were waiting there, preparing many things such as offerings and paper money, etc.

"Master of the house!" a middle-aged man greeted him, but the village elder and others were not seen, leaving him puzzled.

"Take the people and return to the village first," Qin Feng said.

"We need manpower here! Master of the house, has something happened?"

"Don't ask more, go back first!"

"Okay, alright!"

Seeing Qin Feng's unquestionable expression, the middle-aged man hastily waved, also sensing something amiss, and walked away quickly.

He went to another side, far from the ancestral grave site.

To avoid the ancestral grave being blown up in the upcoming battle.

Qin Feng closed his eyes, sensed carefully, his brows furrowed, then relaxed.

"Those who deserve to die and those who don't—this time they'll probably all die."

"Sigh!"

"I actually feel a bit of compassion."

He let out a light sigh.

Qin Feng also felt a bit tense, yet he shouted loudly: "Everyone, since you've come, why not show yourselves?"

"You clearly know this is a death trap, yet you actually dare to come." At the mountainside, behind a rock, a person stepped out, his physique extremely burly.

As his words fell, he leapt into midair and came crashing down.

He landed over ten meters away from Qin Feng, smashing a deep pit—it was Xiang Ding.

"Isn't it better to stay alive?" Qin Feng looked at him and said, "Last time someone saved you, but that person was killed; do you think someone will save you again this time?"

Xiang Ding's face showed anger; he took a deep breath and drew the long sword at his back.

He changed his weapon.

This is a large rear-mounted cleaver, extremely heavy.

"I admit, last time I was inferior, but this time…" Xiang Ding gave a cold snort, "You are doomed to die. Qin Feng, everyone says I am arrogant and overconfident, fearing no one, but compared to you I really fall short. You truly have great skill and boldness, clearly knowing you would be ambushed here, yet you still swaggered in without any guards." "If I didn't come, could this battle be any less?" Qin Feng scoffed and shouted, "Xiang Ding, you are also a renowned hero; can you tell me why you joined forces with the Fan family to first kill my father and then annihilate my Qin household?"

Xiang Ding remained silent.

"Is it the celestial phenomena inheritance?" Qin Feng directly revealed the answer.

Xiang Ding's pupils contracted.

The hidden ones in the darkness all had their qi fluctuate.

"Your Qin family indeed has it!" Xiang Ding said with certainty.

"Not bad, I have it!" Qin Feng immediately admitted, "I possess the Twenty-Four Aperture Method, Forty-Nine Secret Aperture Technique, Sixty-Four Aperture Opening Diagram. Also several secret manuals, all stored in my mind."

He pointed to his forehead and then laughed, "As for the original text? I have already burned it."

"Want it?" Qin Feng's eyes were hidden, but his voice suddenly rose thirty-six decibels, booming, "Regarding techniques, I have never cared, for I understand that strength versus weakness depends on the individual, not the technique. So, hoarding treasures is not my intention; I am willing to take them out for business. If you want techniques, you can, as long as you produce something that moves me, I am willing to trade all my inheritances with anyone."

Xiang Ding's pupils contracted, and he suddenly struck.

"Split the mountain!"

The sword's momentum was heavy as it entered the mountain, the blade light extending over ten meters, immensely heavy, as if it could cleave the peak and sink the land.

"Heaven's might!"

Xiang Ding came forward and delivered a killing blow.

His eyes flickered with light, a double pupil appearing, immediately radiating a strange power, as if it had crossed space and arrived on Qin Feng first.

"It's that kind of power again." This time Qin Feng saw it clearly.

The power emanated from the opponent's pupils, stronger than during the last great battle, and even though he was mentally prepared, it still caused his spirit and will to tremble slightly.

"Sudden Rain First Sword!"

Clang!

The long sword unsheathed, like a fierce flash it split the blade's radiance; Qin Feng swayed slightly and moved to Xiang Ding's side.

"Sudden Rain Second Sword!"

"Sudden Rain Third Sword!"

Qin Feng's strike became even more ruthless.

"What swift footwork, what swift sword!" Xiang Ding was astonished, and while blocking he was blasted back, "You have become stronger again."

Boom—boom—…

A torrent erupted inside him, his body suddenly swelling a few inches, his skin crimson as blood, his heart beating powerfully, so clearly that Qin Feng could hear it.

Xiang Ding's aura also surged abruptly, faintly seeming to breach into another realm.

"In the Body Refinement realm, I have reached the eighth transformation."

"I have cultivated a forbidden technique!"

"Just now I swallowed a forbidden great pill again!"

"Qin Feng, with this slash I will cut you, to avenge the humiliation of the past and reforged my invincible conviction."

"Heaven‑Cutter Slash!"

The slash seemed to split heaven and earth in two.

"You are ruthless enough," Qin Feng said, sheathing his long sword; a surge of righteous qi immediately rose on his right hand, coiling around his arm layer by layer.

"Inch Fist!"

Qi and blood trembled, power surged, the ninth transformation of Body Refinement force erupted completely.

Additionally, a thin layer of true qi reinforced it.

Qin Feng's fist blasted the long blade, sending it spiraling upward.

Xiang Ding could not withstand the force, was flung backward, and let out an incredulous wail: "Impossible!"

"Flash Step!"

Qin Feng gave him no chance; with a step his foot, his silhouette flashed and he was upon him in an instant.

"Inch Fist!"

Another fist, like opening the heavens, shattered the air, and landed on his chest under Xiang Ding's desperate gaze.

Bang…

The power exploded, his chest collapsed, and Xiang Ding, like a cannonball, slammed into the mountain peak.
