Chapter 44: First Pet, Xiao Wu

Fan Mang is dead.

He was killed by a slap from Qin Feng, but also obtained the Seven Severed Pulse Decision.

This happened back when they were pursuing Xiang Ding; a masked person suddenly appeared to save the target, ultimately using a supreme Forbidden Technique, which he remembered then.

It is a method for releasing internal Qi.

"This method is both hard and easy!" Qin Feng closed his eyes, reviewed its content, and understood why it is called a Forbidden Technique.

A Forbidden Technique is a law of taboo; once used, it wounds even the immortal.

In a warrior's body, the dantian's Qi Sea is the root that stores Qi, which travels through the meridians as channels. The width and resilience of the meridians determine the Qi output; no matter how exquisite or powerful a supreme art, if Qi is scarce, its manifested power cannot be great.

The Seven Severed Pulse Decision removes meridian restrictions by forcibly creating several temporary passages within the meridians, like opening floodgates on a dam to force a larger flow.

It causes attack power to surge dramatically.

But the consequences are terrifying; those temporary openings are hard to seal, and as Qi surges they can shatter the whole body's meridians—light cases lose cultivation, severe cases have Qi ramming wildly, even piercing the brain, which can cause a gruesome death on the spot.

The key is that this method cannot be cultivated.

Because once you try to cultivate it, you may be doomed.

It can only be comprehended.

In a critical moment, if you can manifest it, you have mastered it; if you cannot, you have not fully comprehended it.

"It's a Forbidden Technique for others, but for me it's a true killing move!" Qin Feng showed a delighted expression, "Just opening passages in the meridians is only half the idea; if I were to destroy the meridians outright and forcibly draw out the massive Qi in the dantian, then …"

With supreme regeneration, he fears no injury.

Even if the dantian is shattered, it can recover swiftly.

As for the impact on the mortal body?

Qin Feng is even less afraid, because his mortal body is far tougher.

Thinking of this, his spirit jolted sharply.

With the amount of Qi in his dantian's Qi Sea, if it were to pour out in an instant, he is confident he could blast Master Fan to death and slay the beast demon.

It's… grandpa…

Qin Feng suppressed the thought.

He noticed the mist was thinning and would vanish completely soon, and sensed that battles were still raging in the distance.

"It still hasn't ended!"

Thinking this, he glanced at Liu Kaishan and the others gathered afar, and Qin Feng leapt away.

He activated the Carefree Wind-Going Step, moving swiftly, and within moments arrived close.

It was the rabbit demon fighting the red-clothed woman, and they had also arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The rabbit demon was clearly being suppressed.

The red-clothed woman's veil had vanished at some point, revealing a beauty that could topple a nation, her slightly rounded face bearing a cool hue.

She did not appear old.

"Miss, thank you, I'll take it from here!" Qin Feng called out, then charged straight forward.

Carefree Cloud-Dispelling Palm! Both palms fluttered, the palm force streaked across the sky, emanating the power of rain, and in an instant seized the rabbit demon, then began a relentless barrage.

He cared not about Qi consumption.

With his current Qi quality plus the power of realm-of-meaning, his attack is almost indistinguishable from that of a true master.

"What about Xiao Jinpeng?" the rabbit demon, completely suppressed, could only clumsily block and couldn't help but ask back.

"Dead!" Qin Feng replied, then coldly said, "When death is at your doorstep, you still worry about others."

"Dead? Impossible, that's Xiao Jinpeng!" the rabbit demon blurted, its face turning grim.

Its aura also became chaotic.

Qin Feng's eyes lit up.

Instant Step!

Burst Fist!

Qin Feng suddenly surged forward, changed his technique, without invoking the Inch Step, keeping a move in reserve, yet this punch still hurled the rabbit demon into the air, where a splash of fresh blood awaited.

"Die for me!"

He launched an attack like a raging storm, blasting the rabbit demon straight into the rocks, nearly shattering it. "Truly a monstrous beast, its body strength far surpasses any human!" Qin Feng showed a surprised expression.

This rabbit demon's physique is even stronger than Xiang Ding's.

"Ordinary demonic physiques are already stronger than ours; this is the innate advantage of beast bodies." The red-clothed woman walked over, looking at Qin Feng with eyes full of amazement.

With the cultivation of a Ninth-rank Warrior, he almost killed the rabbit demon; this combat power is extraordinary.

"There are some demonic beasts with terrifying bloodlines whose physiques are even more formidable, capable of matching masters with just their bodies, even those of the Heavenly Phenomena Realm."

"Are there many demons?" Qin Feng also looked toward the other, clasped his fists and bowed, "I am Qin Feng of Wan'an City, how should I address you?"

"Yan Hongye!" the red‑clothed woman replied with a bow, then said gravely, "Just now, an extremely terrifying chilling force erupted over there. What exactly happened? What about Master Fan and the Jinpeng demon?"

"Dead!" Qin Feng's eyes flickered, "A strong figure suddenly appeared, claiming to be hunting a mist demon, came here, found me more to his liking, and casually crushed Xiao Jinpeng to dust, and also killed Master Fan in the process."

Yan Hongye narrowed her eyes, clearly not believing, but did not press further, instead asked, "What should we do?"

"Kill them!" Qin Feng showed a fierce expression, leapt into the deep pit, Qi gathering on his fist, light flaring, releasing a terrifying wave.

"Wait, you can't kill me!" the weakened rabbit demon instantly revived, but also showed a terrified expression, hurriedly said.

Qin Feng's fist halted before the rabbit demon's face: "Give me a reason not to kill you!"

"There is a demon king behind me; if you kill me, the demon king will surely hunt you." the rabbit demon quickly replied.

"Threatening me when death is at your doorstep?" Qin Feng snorted coldly, "I love spicy rabbit heads and braised rabbit meat."

The rabbit demon shivered.

"Why do you want to kill me?" Qin Feng asked.

"Because you are the supreme genius among humans!"

"Just because I'm a genius?"

"Yeah, human geniuses cannot be allowed to grow; once discovered, kill them one by one."

"Indeed, humans and demons cannot coexist!" Qin Feng snorted coldly, suddenly burst forth, "Then go die!"

"Wait, I am willing to offer my true blood, I am willing to submit!" The rabbit demon sensed his ruthlessness and quickly spoke again.

"Submit? Letting a demon who might betray at any moment follow by your side, you think I'm a fool!" Qin Feng had no interest.

"I, I, I..." Feeling the deadly killing intent, the rabbit demon trembled in fear; a flash of light appeared at her brow, and a drop of fresh blood flew out, hovering before her, her aura greatly weakened, and she hurriedly said, "I am willing to offer my origin essence blood; if you swallow it, it's equivalent to signing a master-servant contract, allowing you to control my life and death, and I will never betray. Otherwise, with just a thought from you, you can kill me."

"She's telling the truth!" Yan Hongye walked over, "Among demons there is a true blood oath; once the contract is established, you can control the other's life and death. However, demons are mostly deceitful, cannot be fully trusted."

The rabbit demon immediately showed a pitiful, wronged expression.

"There's actually such an oath?" Qin Feng felt a sense of confusion.

How come it's getting more and more fantastical.

He stared at that drop of fresh blood, yet sensed a hint of malice within it, immediately understood what was going on, but still reached out and grabbed it.

Gripping his palm, the Ultimate Yang Heart Flame surged forth; he carefully controlled it to burn away the strange power inside, while that drop of fresh blood also merged into his palm.

It turned into a strange contract that merged into himself.

Ah...

The rabbit demon immediately let out a miserable scream.

This time she truly showed terror, her whole body trembling, her face deathly pale.

Moreover, she was incredulous.

In her true blood she had hidden a method, hard to detect; once the contract truly took effect, it would backfire, making her the master and the other the servant.

Among demons, such a method of control is extremely rare.

"Not bad!"

Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh.

"This contract is marvelous; it can sense the rabbit demon's emotional fluctuations and also kill."

"At the same time, it can also clear the contract away at any time."

"Profound and inscrutable, surpassing ordinary understanding."

"What's your name?" Qin Feng asked.

"I, I, I, master, my servant name is Yue Wu; you may call me Xiao Wu." The rabbit demon, face full of despair, also quickly steadied her mindset.
