Chapter 111: Fame Spreads Far and Wide! (Second Update, Please Subscribe!)
"Boom!"
Huang Tianlong was at the early stage of the Human King realm, one minor level lower than Hai Mingsheng. Moreover, having not fought for many years, his vital energy and blood were far from their peak. Facing a desperate, full-force strike from a mid-stage Human King, he had no way to defend himself. His protective aura was torn apart by Hai Mingsheng’s blow, and he was sent flying, crashing heavily into the ground.
"Pfft."
Huang Tianlong spat out a mouthful of blood, his internal organs damaged. Terror filled his eyes, and he dared not charge forward again.
"Break!"
Qin Feng quickly caught up to Hai Mingsheng, swinging his halberd in a horizontal sweep. A brutal, violent, and vast surge of power crashed against Hai Mingsheng’s protective aura. The overwhelming force shattered the shield instantly, and the Fangtian Halberd pierced through Hai Mingsheng’s chest.
"Die!"
With a low shout, Qin Feng flicked his halberd upward, lifting Hai Mingsheng into the air.
"Boom!"
With a sharp twist of his arm, Qin Feng spun the halberd, shredding Hai Mingsheng’s internal organs to pieces and killing him instantly.
"Well fought!"
Qin Feng tossed the corpse aside and turned to meet the charging figures of the Western Conquest King and the Eastern Province King.
"Kill!"
Qin Feng engaged them in rapid succession. His physical recovery was astonishing; facing their attacks, he did not dodge unless they were fatal, choosing instead to meet them head-on.
"At this rate, we will be killed by him sooner or later."
"Damn it! The intelligence reports misled us!"
Under Qin Feng’s ferocious onslaught, the Western Conquest King and the Eastern Province King had their protective auras torn apart repeatedly, suffering multiple injuries. The Western Conquest King’s right arm was twisted at an unnatural angle, his bones shattered by a previous strike from Qin Feng’s halberd. They wanted to flee, but caught in the storm of Qin Feng’s attacks, they could not escape. During the melee, they were plagued by a doubt: if Qin Feng’s offensive power had reached the Human Emperor level, why was his defense so low? Could it be that he wasn't a true Human Emperor realm expert after all?
"My power is still far from enough."
"I still need more strength."
"The world is fraught with danger everywhere; I must possess sufficient power."
"Those who attacked today were Human King realm cultivators; next time, it could very well be a Human Emperor."
Qin Feng swung his weapon faster, each strike tearing through his opponents' defenses and keeping them under constant pressure.
"Pfft."
"Pfft."
The two kings coughed up blood as they took another direct hit. Their protective auras were continuously shredded, and the violent force surged into their bodies, shattering their internal organs.
"How terrifying."
Huang Tianlong watched the battle from below, his expression filled with shock, awe, and fear. He was stunned by Qin Feng’s overwhelming might. "Is this a power that a human can possess?"
The nearby cultivators who were fleeing also looked up, their hearts filled with shock and terror.
"Die!"
Qin Feng roared, unleashing all his combat potential in one final, sweeping strike that enveloped both kings.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
With nowhere to hide, the Western Conquest King and the Eastern Province King were forced to take the blow head-on. The terrifying force tore through their remaining defenses and struck their bodies directly.
"Pfft."
"Pfft."
Both kings spat out blood mixed with fragments of their internal organs as they plummeted from the sky. Their vitals were pulverized, and their life force faded rapidly. They crashed into the ground, struggling to stand, their eyes filled with resentment before they finally succumbed to death.
"Could they be faking it?"
Seeing them dead, Qin Feng remained cautious. He walked over and delivered several more strikes to be sure.
"What paupers!"
Qin Feng scavenged their belongings, finding only a measly hundred thousand taels of gold. He curled his lip in disdain. For three dignified Human King realm experts to have only a hundred thousand taels of gold was truly shameful.
"Greetings, Emperor Qin."
Seeing Qin Feng approach, Huang Tianlong bowed respectfully, his face filled with awe.
"These three were Human King experts from the Datong Dynasty," Qin Feng mused. "Do you think I could exchange their corpses with the imperial court for some cultivation resources?"
"Emperor Qin," Huang Tianlong replied quickly, "with your current strength, you already stand at the pinnacle of the Great Chu Dynasty. Once news of today’s battle spreads, the Great Chu Dynasty will do everything in its power to curry favor with you. You will only need to utter a word, and they will shower you with countless treasures."
He felt a surge of excitement; as long as Qin Feng’s power was recognized, he himself would be able to walk unhindered throughout the entire Great Chu Dynasty.
"Has the Human Emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty truly fallen?" Qin Feng asked, nodding.
"It is rumored that over a hundred years ago, the Great Chu Imperial Ancestor returned severely wounded and has not appeared since," Huang Tianlong recounted everything he knew.
"Greetings, Master Qin."
"Greetings, Master Qin."
Yan Chonghu, Shi Tie, and Liu Qingchang hurried over, their expressions a mix of fanaticism and reverence as they bowed to Qin Feng.
"Dispose of these three corpses," Qin Feng said indifferently, waving them away.
With that, he leaped into the air and headed toward the Qin estate. By the time he arrived, his minor injuries had already healed.
"Farewell, Emperor Qin," Huang Tianlong called out, bowing low.
"Farewell, Emperor Qin!"
"Farewell, Emperor Qin!"
"Farewell, Emperor Qin!"
The other cultivators followed suit. At this moment, Qin Feng was revered by all.
News of Qin Feng single-handedly slaying three Human King realm experts spread like wildfire throughout the Great Chu Dynasty. Countless cultivators were shaken, and even the imperial family was stirred to action. The Emperor of Chu urgently summoned his officials to discuss how to handle Qin Feng. During the meeting, he received another secret dispatch: Qin Feng had also slain the Northern Martial King and the Tiancheng King within the treasures of the Xuantian Sect.
The Emperor of Chu was shocked, yet also filled with joy. It was decided that they must treat Qin Feng with the utmost caution. As long as Qin Feng was not an enemy of the Great Chu Dynasty, the dynasty would never be an enemy of his. The Emperor did not bestow any official title upon Qin Feng, for his own cultivation was merely at the Human King realm—how could he dare to reward a Human Emperor? If he offended Qin Feng and triggered an attack on the palace, he would be a sinner through the ages.
As for forming an alliance, he had already dispatched the Third Prince, Chu Tianfa, who had previously had contact with Qin Feng, to Qin City. Upon receiving the news, Chu Tianfa was left in disbelief, his mind reeling with shock. Filled with newfound reverence, he set out for Qin City, while the other princes looked on with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
