Chapter 158: Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Herb! (Part 1/2)

"I merely rejected his demand, yet he actually went so far as to send people to assassinate me!"

"Utterly insane!"

"This man cannot be left alive. I must kill him in the future!"

A surge of murderous intent rose in Qin Feng's heart—a murderous intent directed entirely at Yun Shengtian.

"I cannot make a move just yet."

"According to the rules of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, fellow disciples are strictly prohibited from fighting among themselves within the sect."

"Even inner disciples and true successor disciples are not allowed to lay a hand on outer disciples without good reason."

Qin Feng murmured softly.

He had already made up his mind to find an opportunity in the future to completely annihilate Yun Shengtian!

"Junior Brother Ning, could you help me find out when Yun Shengtian plans to go out?"

Qin Feng instructed Ning Hua.

"Senior Brother, you are planning to..."

Ning Hua's expression changed abruptly.

Could Senior Brother Qin be thinking of making a move against Yun Shengtian? That was an elite of the Yun family! To slay Yun Shengtian would be to completely offend the Yun family of the Heavenly Cloud Dynasty.

At this thought, Ning Hua felt his legs grow somewhat weak.

"That's right!"

"Lin Juncheng plotted to assassinate me, and it must have been arranged by Yun Shengtian."

"I cannot let him off!"

Qin Feng said in a deep voice.

"Senior Brother Qin, wouldn't it be better to just let this matter rest?"

"That is the Heavenly Cloud Dynasty we are talking about!"

Fear surfaced on Ning Hua's face as he spoke with extreme caution.

"Correct! Yun Shengtian sent people to kill me, so the Yun family couldn't possibly have been unaware. The Yun family must have tacitly approved of it!"

"I will slay Yun Shengtian first."

"Once my cultivation breaks through, I will make my move and wipe out the Heavenly Cloud Dynasty!"

Qin Feng frowned, and after a moment of contemplation, he spoke with an icy tone.

"Go. Keep a close eye on Yun Shengtian's movements for me. The moment he steps outside, come and report to me immediately."

Qin Feng said calmly.

"Understood, Senior Brother Qin."

Ning Hua departed with a feeling of apprehension and unease.

"Forget it! Senior Brother Qin saved my life. I will do as he says and keep watch over Yun Shengtian."

"I just hope Senior Brother Qin has some hidden cards up his sleeve."

Upon returning to his room, Ning Hua weighed the pros and cons, gritted his teeth, and spoke in a low voice.

While Qin Feng was arranging for Ning Hua to monitor Yun Shengtian, Yun Baisheng was also deploying men to watch every move Qin Feng made.

"Soon!"

"I am about to break through. I wonder if my combat prowess will reach the True Martial realm level once my cultivation attains the late stage of the Qi Martial realm!"

After Ning Hua left, Qin Feng plunged into cultivation, swallowing a medicinal herb and refining it rapidly to enhance his cultivation base.

Feeling his physical strength rapidly increasing, Qin Feng muttered softly to himself.

.......

"Senior Brother Qin, please be careful in everything you do."

Four days later, upon hearing that Yun Shengtian was about to leave, Ning Hua relayed the news to Qin Feng. He hesitated with words on the tip of his tongue, and finally spoke in a grave tone.

"Rest assured!"

Qin Feng nodded, packed up his belongings in the room, reported to the outer sect deacon, and hurriedly descended the mountain.

Within two cups of tea's time after Qin Feng's descent, Yun Shengtian, Yun Aoxue, and Yun Qinghai left the mountain in each other's company. Shortly after, Yun Baisheng also rushed down the mountain, crossed paths with Yun Shengtian along the way, and joined forces to head down together.

Yun Baisheng had decided to let Yun Shengtian participate in the process of eliminating Qin Feng, seeing as the entire incident originated with Yun Shengtian in the first place.

"Cousin Baisheng, thank you for avenging me!"

Yun Shengtian had long wanted to teach Qin Feng a lesson, but was constrained by the rule that fighting was forbidden within the Heavenly Thunder Sect.

Upon learning at this moment that Qin Feng had gone down the mountain, and that Cousin Baisheng intended to slay Qin Feng, boundless joy and excitement surged within his heart.

"No one can insult someone from the Heavenly Cloud Dynasty and get away with it!"

Yun Baisheng said in a deep voice, his words overwhelmingly tyrannical.

.......

"Qin Feng?"

Following close behind, Yun Baisheng, Yun Shengtian, Yun Aoxue, and Yun Qinghai rapidly caught up to Qin Feng. An hour later, Yun Shengtian stared in bewilderment at a solitary figure standing quietly ahead, calling out in doubt.

The figure ahead bore a striking resemblance to Qin Feng, standing completely still and giving him a bizarre sensation—as if, as if he had been waiting specifically for them.

"Was Lin Juncheng's action arranged by you?"

Qin Feng turned around, casting his gaze upon Yun Baisheng, Yun Shengtian, Yun Aoxue, and Yun Qinghai. His eyes lingered on Yun Baisheng for a few seconds before he demanded an answer.

"What about Lin Juncheng?"

"Quickly, tell me."

Yun Baisheng's expression shifted slightly as he quickly pursued the question.

"It really was you!"

"In that case, all of you, go to hell!"

A look of fury appeared on Qin Feng's face as he let out a long roar. Wielding the Heavenly Halberd, he charged directly toward Yun Baisheng, Yun Shengtian, Yun Aoxue, and Yun Qinghai to slaughter them.

"Humph!"

"With mere skills like yours, you dare to make a move against us?"

Yun Baisheng smiled contemptuously. The power of the soaring snake erupted completely from within him, and a full eight hundred and seventy soaring snake phantoms fluttered wildly in the void above.

"Boom!"

Yun Baisheng smiled arrogantly. Channeling his true Qi, he unleashed a punch imbued with the might of eight hundred and seventy soaring snakes, striking forward with a heaven-shaking roar that threatened to tear the very space apart.

"Ridiculous!"

"It seems Qin Feng wanted to make a move against us, only to have terrible luck and run right into Cousin Baisheng."

Yun Shengtian, Yun Aoxue, and Yun Qinghai looked at Qin Feng with sneering and mocking expressions.

"Shatter!"

The power of fifteen hundred soaring snakes erupted fully within Qin Feng's body. With a single strike, he pulverized Yun Baisheng's punch force, displaying matchless tyranny.

"Boom!"

Before Yun Baisheng could even react, Qin Feng's attack had already reached him, driving his halberd straight through Yun Baisheng's chest.

"This?"

Staring down at the Heavenly Halberd protruding from his chest, Yun Baisheng's face twisted in disbelief.

"Die!"

Qin Feng let out a low roar, exerting sudden force with his arm to hoist Yun Baisheng high into the air before swinging him around wildly.

"Boom!"

Yun Baisheng's internal organs were instantly pulverized by the Heavenly Halberd, and his entire physical body was torn apart into pieces.

"This..."

"Cousin Baisheng?"

"Cousin Baisheng is an expert at the late stage of the Meta Martial realm! How could you possibly kill him?"

Witnessing Qin Feng forcefully slaughter Yun Baisheng, Yun Shengtian, Yun Aoxue, and Yun Qinghai were plunged straight into shock, finding it utterly unthinkable and beyond belief.

"Boom!"

Qin Feng smiled haughtily, the blood-qi energy surging within his body as fifteen hundred soaring snake phantoms condensed in the air.

"Is the late stage of the Meta Martial realm supposed to be very strong?"

Qin Feng smiled contemptuously and said in a ringing voice.

"Boom!"

With a sudden burst of strength in his arm, Qin Feng swung the Heavenly Halberd, unleashing a terrifying force that crashed directly into Yun Shengtian, Yun Aoxue, and Yun Qinghai.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Under the onslaught of fifteen hundred soaring snakes' worth of power, the physical bodies of Yun Shengtian, Yun Aoxue, and Yun Qinghai directly exploded, their lives extinguished completely.

"Hah!"

Qin Feng let out a breath, swept the battlefield clean, retrieved a storage ring from Yun Baisheng's remains, and departed in a hurry.

"Eight thousand primordial stones."

"Three stalks of ten-thousand-year medicinal herbs."

Qin Feng did not return to the Heavenly Thunder Sect immediately. Instead, he found a secluded spot to take inventory of his spoils of war.

During the previous battle, he had unleashed his full might, causing his skin and muscles to tear in multiple places, requiring some time to heal.

"Three stalks of ten-thousand-year medicinal herbs!"

"With the aid of these ten-thousand-year herbs, I will surely break through to the late stage of the Qi Martial realm in five days."

Gazing at the three precious herbs, a look of wild joy, excitement, and agitation surfaced in Qin Feng's eyes as he whispered to himself.
