Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 106: Chapter 105: Murderous Intent

”Brother Xiao Yi, there are at least hundreds of Martial Artists here, and those are all points, ah,” Lin Jin urged.

”Fuck off,” Xiao Yi whispered harshly, ”If you’re so capable, go ahead. Don’t you see even Qin Feiyang has been injured? I’m not going.”

The four had become quite friendly with each other after several days together, occasionally teasing one another.

”Xiao Yi, don’t listen to them,” Liu Yanran said. ”Look, the guy leading those hundreds of Martial Artists is Young Master Changfeng. We’d better not get involved in these troubled waters.”

The four hid themselves to one side, making no move.

Ahead, hundreds of Martial Artists completely surrounded Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang was already wounded. As he moved his feet, about to leap into the air and transform into the Golden Winged Eagle to fly away,

suddenly, dozens of large nets appeared out of nowhere, forcing him to land back on the ground.

”Ha ha ha ha,” the leading young man laughed proudly. ”Qin Feiyang, since I knew from the start that you have the Golden Winged Eagle Martial Soul, how could I not be prepared?”

”My subordinates with Plant Type Martial Souls and those with Iron Chain Martial Souls are more than enough to leave you with no escape to the heavens.”

”And now that you are completely surrounded, it’s as if there’s no way out on the ground either. Today, I want to see how you’ll escape.”

Qin Feiyang said coldly, ”Guu Changfeng, I didn’t expect you to take action personally, and even bring all your lackeys. However, piss me off, and you won’t get away with it either.”

”Ha ha,” Guu Changfeng was unafraid and laughed, ”Qin Feiyang, at this moment, there aren’t many Independent Martial Artists in the entire forest, and you’re one of them, and the most formidable at that. Small groups usually aren’t your match, and you’ve gotten quite a few points these days, huh?”

”Today, as long as you hand over all your points and promise to serve me, I’ll spare you. Otherwise, you’ll become a corpse within these three hundred miles of forest.”

Guu Changfeng, also known as Young Master Changfeng, had an Innate Ninth Layer Cultivation, ranking 15th on the Northern Mountain Ranking.

Qin Feiyang sneered, ”Guu Changfeng, do you dare kill me? Do you know who I am?”

”I know,” Guu Changfeng said disdainfully, ”The Young Master of the South Forest Qin Family, heh, what of it.”

”You...” Qin Feiyang was furious, ”How dare you belittle my Qin Family, I want you dead.”

With that, Qin Feiyang was the first to launch an attack.

The battle between the two sides erupted instantly.

On the other side, the four hiding observers watched with keen interest.

The South Forest Qin Family was one of the major powers in Northern Mountain County.

The family had an effigy of the Golden Winged Eagle and a unique secret technique that easily awakened the Golden Winged Eagle Martial Soul in their family members.

Thus, they were also known as the Golden Winged Eagle clan, located at the very southern part of Northern Mountain County.

The Golden Winged Eagle was a very rare Martial Soul, ranking as a peak of the green tier.

Aside from being an avian Martial Soul, it also had a special effect. From the day of its awakening, it allowed the holder to automatically increase one layer of Cultivation every year.

In other words, even without practicing, one could break through to a Great Realm in ten years.

The effect continued until the Mysterious Profundity Sixth Layer.

Therefore, even the weakest members of the Qin Family, once of age, had at least Mysterious Profundity Sixth Layer Cultivation.

Their Clan Leader was a powerful Martial Artist of the Mysterious Profundity Ninth Layer.

As for the geniuses of the family, their Cultivation far surpassed others, like Qin Feiyang. With his natural talent for cultivation, coupled with the effects of the Golden Winged Eagle, he achieved Innate Eighth Layer Cultivation at a young age.

Hence, the Qin Family had the most Mysterious Profundity Realm Warriors in Northern Mountain County, no less than a hundred.

Additionally, their clan members were very united. When one was in trouble, the entire clan would come to their aid.

So, although they had no Mystic Breakthrough Realm Martial Artists, nobody dared to provoke them.

However, the Sky-splitting Sword Sect was located at the northernmost part of Northern Mountain County, very far from the Qin Family to the south.

And that Guu Changfeng himself was the Young Master of a major family in Baiwu City. His father, the Guu Family Head, was also a Mysterious Profundity Ninth Layer Martial Artist.

That’s why he dared to confront Qin Feiyang without any reservations.

As the fight continued, it wasn’t long before Qin Feiyang was covered with wounds.

Guu Changfeng didn’t even have to act personally; his hundreds of underlings alone would be enough to wear Qin Feiyang to death.

”Qin Feiyang, don’t be obstinately foolish. This young master esteems you, that’s why I personally offer you to serve me,” Guu Changfeng said boastfully.

”Someone like you, from a remote area in the south, serving me would be your honor.”

”If I’m displeased with you, you are nothing but trash.”

Qin Feiyang said nothing, fighting like a madman, killing the Martial Artists surrounding him one by one.

In the back, the four hiding.

Xiao Yi frowned and said, ”That Guu Changfeng is no good bird. On the contrary, that Qin Feiyang has admirable pride. Not bad.”

”Oho? Xiao Yi, you don’t like Young Master Changfeng?” Lin Jin said from the side.

Tie Niu came out with his barrel-chested voice, ”The four of us are a team, Xiao Yi brother, you’re a good person, I won’t spare anyone you dislike, shall we go up and confront him together?”

Liu Yanran’s beautiful eyes glittered as she spoke softly, ”Xiao Yi, do you want to deal with Guu Changfeng? I’ll follow your lead.”

Xiao Yi gave them a look and said, ”Didn’t you just say he was not an opponent?”

”If we can’t beat him, we can still run,” Lin Jin said.

Tie Niu added, ”As long as Qin Feiyang transforms into the Golden Winged Eagle, he should be able to easily carry us a few and escape.”

Xiao Yi nodded, ”Alright, let’s go.”

”If there’s danger, I’ll protect you,” Lin Jin, Tie Niu, and Liu Yanran suddenly said at the same time.

”There’s no need for your protection,” the three said in unison again.

”Hehe,” and then the four of them looked at each other and laughed.

Xiao Yi also secretly smiled. He had detected that all three of them were hiding their true strength, yet it seemed none of them had noticed it in each other.

Xiao Yi was unlike them. He had even fought against Mysterious Profundity Realm Warriors and had a very accurate sense of a Martial Artist’s true strength.

Mere cultivation levels couldn’t represent everything, after all, for the truly talented, fighting above one’s level was commonplace.

On the other side, Qin Feiyang was struggling desperately, his injuries growing ever more severe; Guu Changfeng looked smug, as though victory was already in his hands.

Just then, four figures leaped out swiftly.

Qin Feiyang was initially alarmed, thinking that stronger enemies were attacking, but when he saw the foes beside him being killed in an instant, he quickly realized what was happening.

”Qin Feiyang, we’re here to save you,” Lin Jin shouted.

”If we can’t beat them, quickly turn into an eagle and carry us away,” Tie Niu buzzed.

Qin Feiyang was stunned and before he could say anything, Lin Jin and Tie Niu were already clashing with the enemy.

With every swing of Lin Jin’s blade, the weighty Xuantie Heavy Blade inflicted severe injuries and caused enemies to vomit blood.

Tie Niu was no different; his punch was unstoppable.

Liu Yanran summoned thousands of willow catkins out of thin air, binding the enemies in clusters.

Xiao Yi unleashed waves of Breeze Sword Gang, piercing through the bodies of dozens of enemies, leaving them critically injured.

Qin Feiyang’s strength was actually not inferior to Lin Jin and the others; he was just struggling because he was fighting alone.

Now that Xiao Yi and the other three joined in, the situation rapidly shifted.

One person facing hundreds was different from five people facing hundreds.

Seeing this, Guu Changfeng immediately became enraged, especially because Xiao Yi had injured dozens of his men, which enraged him even further.

”You dare to meddle in my affairs? Hmph,” Guu Changfeng snorted coldly, launching an attack at Xiao Yi first.

In his view, since Xiao Yi had caused the most casualties among his men, he must be killed first.

Moreover, he perceived Xiao Yi as only being at the Innate Third Layer and felt he could easily finish him.

”Be careful,” Liu Yanran shouted, as catkins flew out, ready to bind Guu Changfeng.

”Break,” Guu Changfeng uttered lightly, easily snapping the willow catkins and continuing his attack on Xiao Yi without slowing.

”Bring it on,” Xiao Yi said calmly, unafraid, and about to engage when a figure arrived before him.

”Brother Xiao Yi, let me handle him. Even though you are powerful in combat, after all, you’re only at the Innate Third Layer. With my defensive power, he can’t do anything to me,” Tie Niu said in a deep voice.

”A mere Innate Sixth Layer dares to block this young master’s path, you’re courting death,” Guu Changfeng declared as he launched a full-powered palm strike.

With a ”boom,”

An illusion of an Earth-shattering Divine Bull appeared on Tie Niu, easily dissipating Guu Changfeng’s attack.

Instead, it was Guu Changfeng who was forced several steps back.

”Hm? Such strong defense,” Guu Changfeng was taken aback.

And by this time, Xiao Yi and Lin Jin had already killed dozens more foes.

”Damn it, I’ll kill you all,” Guu Changfeng lost control of his rage, attacking again with full force, his hand pulsating with a red glow.

”Yahaha, you can’t hurt me,” Tie Niu said with utmost confidence.

However, Xiao Yi and Lin Jin were alarmed, yelling, ”Tie Niu, dodge quickly, that guy is using a martial technique, and judging by its momentum, it must be an advanced one.”

As soon as the words fell, Guu Changfeng’s palm struck Tie Niu.

The illusion of the Earth-shattering Divine Bull on Tie Niu shattered instantly, and he was sent flying, spitting out blood.

Making use of the momentum, Guu Changfeng advanced, intent on taking Tie Niu’s life.

Xiao Yi, Lin Jin, and Liu Yanran were shocked and intended to come to the rescue.

Guu Changfeng shouted, ”Block them for me.”

Over a hundred martial artists immediately surrounded the three.

”Get out of my way,” Xiao Yi stopped holding back, unleashing dozens of Breeze Sword Gang attacks with full force, slaughtering dozens.

Blood sprayed, clearing a bloody path through dozens of foes in front of them.

Lin Jin rushed towards Tie Niu without hesitation.

Liu Yanran waved out thousands of catkins, blocking Guu Changfeng for a second.

”You ants, thinking you can stop this young master, hmph,” Guu Changfeng broke free from the catkins and, with a palm imbued with martial technique, continued his attack on Lin Jin and Tie Niu.

”Godslayer Slash,” Lin Jin roared as his aura surged and a towering blade emerged out of nowhere.

Yet, Guu Changfeng was no ordinary man; he shattered the giant blade with a palm strike, the residual power still thundering towards the two.

”Spurt,” Lin Jin and Tie Niu were immediately forced to vomit fresh blood, their faces pale as gold foil, and they were struck with grave injuries.

Both Lin Jin’s slash and Guu Changfeng’s Blood Palm were peak Xuan Rank martial techniques, on par with one another.

However, they were both at Innate Sixth and Seventh Layers, while Guu Changfeng was at the Innate Ninth Layer; the power gap was too large, and they were naturally unable to win.

Had they also been at the Innate Ninth Layer, Guu Changfeng wouldn’t have stood a chance against them.

”Die now,” Guu Changfeng sneered, ready to finish off Lin Jin and Tie Niu.

Lin Jin and Tie Niu’s eyes turned frosty as they surged with light, seemingly about to use their trump cards.

But, there was someone whose actions were faster, much faster.

”Dammit, you’re asking for it.” Xiao Yi fully unleashed his power, combining Rising Dragon, Martial Soul Power, and the Xingyi Five Extremes of Leopard Form, accelerating to the extreme.

In a blink, he was upon Guu Changfeng, sweeping out with his sword.

”So fast,” Guu Changfeng’s pupils contracted, and he quickly retreated.

”Are you all right?” Xiao Yi said, his sword pointing at Guu Changfeng while slightly turning to ask.

”We’re fine; that birdman can’t kill us,” Lin Jin and Tie Niu said with a smile of confidence.

But their pale faces and the blood dripping from the corners of their mouths clearly showed they had suffered no light injuries.

”One after the other, you might as well all come at once,” Guu Changfeng disdainfully said, ”You ants, I can crush you with a wave of my hand.”

Xiao Yi’s expression turned murderous as he coldly said, ”Lin Jin, Tie Niu, kill every last one of those bastards, not a single one spared; as for this Guu Changfeng, I’ll take his life myself.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yi transformed into a gust of wind, charging straight at Guu Changfeng.

The recent obstruction by those hundreds of martial artists and Guu Changfeng had evidently roused his killing intent.

A mere Innate Ninth Layer, he didn’t even consider it a threat.
