Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Pa!

The man delivered a slap to the woman’s head, amid her incredulous expression.

Blood splattered, and the woman’s face exploded instantly, a blur of flesh and gore, her entire body flew out directly, landing ten zhang away.

”Bitch, trying to harm me!”

Watching the scene, Qin Tian’s eyes showed a trace of delight, but it was quickly followed by terror.

This person was so ruthless to his own junior sister, he certainly wouldn’t spare himself.

”It was that bitch who swore, not me.”

As Qin Tian predicted, the man’s gaze fell upon him at this moment, with a mocking glint in his eyes: ”During this time you’ve treated me like a servant, we need to settle this account.”

”Liu Hong... ah!”

Before Qin Tian could finish speaking, the man ruthlessly tore off his other arm, and Qin Tian, bereft of both arms, collapsed on the ground, convulsing all over.

Bang!

Liu Hong stomped on Qin Tian’s head, directly shaving off half of Qin Tian’s scalp.

”Anything else you haven’t said? This is your last chance!”

Qin Tian’s eyes harbored venom; he knew well that even if he confessed everything, this man wouldn’t spare him.

Seeing Qin Tian’s venomous gaze, Liu Hong’s face twisted into a cruel smile: ”That bitch wasn’t wrong, few people can endure my torture and still keep their mouth shut.”

Liu Hong raised his foot once more, and seeing Liu Hong’s foot lifted, Qin Tian’s eyes flashed with panic, and just as Liu Hong’s right foot was about to fall, he couldn’t hold back any longer.

”Wait, I’ll talk!”

There was mockery in Liu Hong’s eyes; Qin Tian wasn’t tough at all.

”Inside Canglan Prefecture, besides the Canglan Order, there’s also a secret technique left by the True Monarch Canglan. Just having the Canglan Order isn’t enough to join the Canglan Sect; you must also cultivate the secret technique. Only after mastering the secret technique and holding the Canglan Order can you enter the Canglan Sect.”

Qin Tian finished in one breath, Liu Hong’s eyes reflected contemplation, and it was at this moment...

Whoosh!

A dragon’s roar echoed from behind.

At the instant he heard the sound, Liu Hong reacted immediately, darting sideways to the left without looking back.

Thud!

An instant later, the man ten zhang away clutched the bloody hole in his chest incredulously, looking back at the youthful figure emerging from one side of the palace.

He couldn’t understand why, even though he reacted instantly, he couldn’t evade the arrow.

Perhaps, if he had stayed still, the arrow would never have hit him.

”You... who are you?”

”Haha, calling me a fool, yet you don’t even know who he is; he’s Lin Chen from the Canglan Martial Arts Academy.”

Qin Tian, lying on the ground, upon seeing Lin Chen emerging from the palace’s side with bow and arrow, was resigned to his fate. However, noticing Liu Hong meeting the same end, his face bore a trace of satisfaction.

”Lin Chen?”

Liu Hong’s pupils contracted; he had certainly heard the name before, recently the most newsworthy young talent from the Liang Kingdom among the Nine Kingdoms.

Indeed, rumors say that Lin Chen in Lingxiao City had rendered the three brothers of Yu Beichen helpless with just a bow and three successive arrows.

Whoosh!

Lin Chen drew his bow again; while his first sneak attack succeeded, it didn’t mean the person before him was without combat capability.

Three successive arrows!

Lightning fast!

Liu Hong only saw three streaks of golden light, and upon looking down, his body had three more bloody holes.

”Lin Chen, don’t kill him, torture him for me. If you do, I’ll tell you everything about Canglan Prefecture.”

Seeing Liu Hong powerless under Lin Chen’s arrows, Qin Tian shouted, harboring endless hatred towards Liu Hong. Since Liu Hong sought to torture him, now he wanted to reciprocate.

Lin Chen glanced at Qin Tian out of the corner of his eye without addressing him, once more nocked an arrow.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Seven arrows!

Liu Hong’s entire body was like a sieve, blood pouring from the holes continuously, collapsing to the ground, dead.

After finishing off Liu Hong, Lin Chen holding the Dragon Shadow Bow walked towards Qin Tian. Earlier, he ignored Qin Tian because he knew Qin Tian’s words couldn’t be trusted.

Even with hearing just fragments of their betrayal, Lin Chen could deduce the gist of the whole affair.

Qin Tian had acquired the writings left by True Monarch Canglan, learning the method to enter Canglan Prefecture, and made a deal with the individual behind Liu Hong, but didn’t expect Liu Hong and his junior sister chose to monopolize Canglan Prefecture’s treasure.

In someone like Qin Tian’s eyes, he likely deemed everything within Canglan Prefecture to belong to him from the moment he got the writings. Now, given its several changes in ownership, he likely bore some resentment towards himself as well.

Even if Qin Tian explained, he couldn’t fully trust.

”I don’t need you to tell me what’s in Canglan Prefecture; I just want to know how you got in and what your connection to my Canglan Martial Arts Academy is.”

Lin Chen loomed over Qin Tian, whose face had a bitter smile: ”Don’t worry, you killed Liu Hong, avenging me in a way. I’ll tell you everything I know and won’t hide anything.”

Lin Chen remained noncommittal, not helping Qin Tian up because of his words, merely watching him indifferently.

”We entered because True Monarch Canglan’s writings contained the method to enter Canglan Prefecture. To enter Canglan Prefecture, one must either enter from beneath Canglan Lake, but True Monarch Canglan imposed restrictions, guarded by Canglan energy, making entry impossible for strong ones, and the Grade-Entering Martial Artists likely couldn’t bear Canglan energy.”
