"Ha ha, I also want to see how powerful the fourth of the Inner Courtyard Rankings at Xuantian Academy, one of the Four Young Masters of Fengyun, can be!"
Qin Zhengming let out a cold laugh, and immediately a surge of fiery Mystical Energy erupted from his body. The surrounding air seemed to show signs of igniting under the influence of this Mystical Energy.
Aotian's gaze sharpened slightly, and his alertness reached its peak.
Qin Zhengming's cultivation level had likely reached the late Human Spirit Realm, and he had refined a Fire Attribute Xuanli known for its strong offensive capabilities.
His combat power would likely be extremely terrifying, which made it impossible for Aotian not to be fully focused.
Seemingly sensing the difficulty posed by Qin Zhengming, Niu Geng and the others quietly gathered towards Aotian, clearly wanting to assist him.
However, the three martial artists who followed Qin Zhengming were not to be underestimated either. They stepped forward fiercely, a chilling killing intent locking onto Niu Geng and the others.
There was no doubt that if Niu Geng and the others dared to intervene and help Aotian, they would face a storm of attacks from these three Qin Family martial artists.
"Niu Geng, you go help Aotian defeat Qin Zhengming. Elder Qin is mine to handle, and the two Offerings from the Qin Family will be dealt with by the Ye Brothers," Sun Jing said in a low voice.
Sun Jing nodded, just as he was about to agree when Aotian suddenly spoke up:
"Niu Geng, you and Uncle Xiaoya go interrogate Qin Mingyang and see what plans the Qin Family is hiding. As for Qin Zhengming, leave him to me."
Niu Geng and the others were taken aback and said, "Boss, this Qin Zhengming is not simple; we should deal with him together."
Sun Jing nodded repeatedly and said,
"Yes, Aotian, we should team up with Niu Geng. That way, we will have a better chance."
However, Aotian did not turn back; he just stared intently at Qin Zhengming across from him and shook his head firmly, his meaning clear.
Niu Geng and the others couldn't help but smile bitterly at this sight. He knew that once Aotian had made a decision, even the Nine-headed Bull couldn't change his mind.
"Niu Geng, you go interrogate Qin Mingyang, but keep an eye on Aotian. If Aotian gets into danger, you must act immediately," Sun Jing said seriously.
Niu Geng nodded and then walked towards Qin Mingyang with Xiao Ya.
When Elder Qin and the two High Priests saw Niu Geng's actions, they immediately charged at him. However, they were intercepted by Sun Jing and the Ye Brothers midway. This led to an intense battle breaking out.
Of course, the fierce battle split into two arenas.
Sun Jing and Elder Qin were evenly matched in cultivation, so their fight was equally balanced.
The Ye Brothers and the Qin Family's two Offerings were both Mid Human Spirit Realm warriors, but the Ye Brothers had one more person on their side. Thus, from the very beginning of the battle, the Qin Family Offerings showed signs of being at a disadvantage.
Seeing this, Aotian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, when he looked at the extremely grim-faced Qin Zhengming, his expression became serious.
In fact, Aotian was well aware that if he teamed up with Niu Geng to fight against Qin Zhengming, his chances of winning would undoubtedly increase.
However, in the end, Aotian still rejected this idea. Firstly, he had an ominous premonition about the Qin Family's plans, which was why he sent Niu Geng to interrogate Qin Mingyang.
Of course, Xiao Ya could also be interrogated. However, Xiao Ya's cultivation level is relatively low, while Qin Mingyang is a genuine Spirit Realm Martial Artist. Even though he is severely injured now, it does not mean he lacks the ability to fight back against Xiao Ya.
This is why Aotian chose to send Niu Geng to interrogate Qin Mingyang, to prevent any unexpected incidents.
Moreover, Aotian's decision to face Qin Zhengming alone also serves as a test for himself.
Currently, Aotian has broken through the Innate Nine Levels, and he is eager to see if he can fight against a late-stage Human Spirit Realm martial artist after his breakthrough.
To put it simply, in Aotian's mind, Qin Zhengming is merely a practice target. It’s uncertain how Qin Zhengming would react if he knew what Aotian was thinking—perhaps he would be furious enough to spit blood.
The head of the prestigious Qin Family being treated as a mere practice target is indeed quite frustrating.
Seeing that Aotian intended to confront him alone, a cold glint flashed in Qin Zhengming's eyes as he said chillingly:
“Aotian, you are too arrogant. If you teamed up with your friend, I might have some reservations, but now you are just seeking your own death!”
Aotian let out a cold laugh, and then the golden Transformation Technique surged from within him. In an instant, it transformed into a golden pillar of light, accompanied by a piercing sound that tore through the air as it violently struck towards the distant Qin Zhengming.
With a grim expression, Qin Zhengming quickly enveloped his fist with dense Mystical Energy, then smashed it towards the incoming golden pillar of light.
“Boom!”
The pillar and the fist collided violently, producing a deep thundering sound. Immediately after, a terrifying wave of energy erupted outward, sending the surrounding soil flying and snapping nearby Phoenix Tree branches clean off.
The golden pillar also exploded violently, and as for Qin Zhengming, he was forced back several steps by the impact contained within the pillar.
Aotian's serious expression grew increasingly intense. It was only after encountering Qin Zhengming in person that Aotian realized the formidable strength of his opponent.
Qin Zhengming's expression was also grim; he understood that this young man's abilities were indeed extraordinary.
"Ah..."
Suddenly, a piercing scream echoed through the air. Everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound, and they were immediately met with the brutal interrogation conducted by Niu Geng.
Niu Geng was mercilessly stomping on the vital points of Qin Mingyang, and with each step, Qin Mingyang let out a cry of agony. At this rate, even someone made of iron would not be able to endure.
However, Aotian remained unfazed by Niu Geng's methods, as if he did not see what was happening. This should not be interpreted as Aotian being cold-blooded; on the contrary, he cared deeply for his own people. But having compassion for enemies would indeed be foolish.
Thus, Aotian actually agreed with Niu Geng's interrogation methods.
What puzzled Aotian was that Qin Zhengming merely glared coldly at Niu Geng's actions without taking any further action, which left Aotian bewildered.
Logically speaking, since Qin Mingyang knew about the Qin Family's plans, Qin Zhengming should have been quite worried. After all, Niu Geng's brutal interrogation could very likely reveal the true plans of the Qin Family.
It seemed that Qin Zhengming sensed Aotian's thoughts and sneered:
"My Qin Family sons are all men of iron and steel; they would never betray the Qin Family or divulge its secrets."
Upon hearing this, Aotian couldn't help but furrow his brow tightly. Could Qin Mingyang really withstand Niu Geng's brutal interrogation?
Aotian was certain he did not believe it. From earlier when Qin Mingyang used Fire Attribute Xuanli for defense, it was clear that this protector of the Qin Family was actually quite afraid of death.
Since he was afraid of death, how could he possibly endure under Niu Geng's brutal interrogation? However, Qin Zhengming's attitude made Aotian feel a sense of unease.
Seeing Aotian frowning and remaining silent, Qin Zhengming coldly shouted, "Aotian, accept your death!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Fire Attribute Xuanli rapidly condensed in front of Qin Zhengming's chest, transforming into a giant flaming hand the size of a person. The giant hand, carrying intense heat, struck towards Aotian.
Seeing Qin Zhengming's fierce attack, Aotian was suddenly alarmed and quickly formed intricate hand seals with both hands.
"Annihilation Finger!"
With a roar in his heart, a Destruction Finger materialized in the air and collided with the giant flaming hand.
"Boom!"
The two forces clashed, and a fierce gust of wind spread from the point of impact, causing the air to whistle loudly.
Suddenly, both Aotian and Qin Zhengming turned pale, and in an instant, the Destruction Finger and the giant flaming hand exploded, forcing both of them to stagger backward.
"Pfft!"
Just as he managed to stop his retreat, Aotian couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, staining his clothes in front of him.
Qin Zhengming was not faring any better; his face also appeared extremely pale, and his breath was chaotic, clearly suffering from significant internal injuries.
"Aotian!"
"Master!"
The crowd, engaged in a fierce battle, gasped in shock as they saw Aotian and Qin Zhengming both injured.
Aotian waved his hand, signaling that he was fine, then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze sharp as a blade fixed on Qin Zhengming.
Qin Zhengming let out a breath, calming the turbulent Mystical Energy within him, and sneered:
"Heh, the waves of the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Being valued by the higher-ups of Xuantian Academy, you indeed have some skill."
Then, Qin Zhengming abruptly changed his tone and said:
"Too bad, such a talented individual is about to fall at my hands."
Aotian let out a cold laugh and then slightly closed his eyes.
Noticing this, Qin Zhengming frowned; he wasn't foolish enough to think that Aotian was surrendering. At this moment, Aotian felt even more dangerous than before.
"You little trickster, die!"
With a roar, Qin Zhengming formed his right hand into an eagle claw and viciously lunged for Aotian's throat.
However, Aotian did not flinch or evade. Instead, a vast and formless power surged from between his brows and violently struck towards Qin Zhengming.
A strong sense of crisis suddenly spread from Qin Zhengming's heart. His expression changed dramatically, and without a moment's hesitation, he pushed off the ground with his toes and retreated rapidly.
However, that invisible force seemed to follow him like a parasite, striking hard against Qin Zhengming's body.
Immediately, a muffled groan escaped from Qin Zhengming's throat as he staggered back several dozen steps before finally shaking off Aotian's invisible power.
At this moment, Qin Zhengming's heart was truly stirred up in turmoil. He stared intently at Aotian and said, "Soul Power?!"
Aotian chuckled and replied, "Qin Family Head indeed has sharp eyes."
Upon hearing Aotian's words, Qin Zhengming's pupils couldn't help but constrict, and the shock in his heart grew even stronger. It was at this moment that he truly understood why this young man had garnered the attention of those old-timers at Xuantian Academy.
His martial arts cultivation was on par with the best of the younger generation from Fengyun Nation, and his Soul Path cultivation was also rare among his peers. Such a person, once they grow up, could very well become a dominant figure!
