After the danger was resolved, Qin Feng immediately thought about the safety of his family.
At that moment, he heard a commotion coming from the courtyard, and the clashing sound of metal became particularly clear and harsh in the quiet night.
“Not good, it’s Second Brother!” Qin Feng whispered.
As soon as he spoke, Liu Jianli grabbed his arm and quickly appeared in the courtyard of the Qin residence.
The scene in the courtyard made Qin Feng’s eyes widen in disbelief.
He saw a burly, one-armed man exuding a murderous aura, wielding a large, blood-curdling cleaver, engaged in a fight to the death with Second Brother in the courtyard.
The ominous aura surrounding the opponent was clearly not a good sign.
Each swing of the large cleaver produced a piercing sound, aimed directly at Second Brother’s vital points.
Second Brother was in imminent danger, but he managed to narrowly avoid each attack.
But in such a dangerous situation, Senior Zhen and Black Charcoal Head watched from the sidelines. What does this mean?“You have come?” Zhen Tianyi greeted, nodding towards Liu Jianli.
Qin Feng spoke up, “What’s going on here?”
Black Charcoal Head explained the situation after hearing the question.
“Sparring?” Qin Feng was surprised.
The burly man with one arm had escaped from Ninefold Prison, was a ruthless killer, and possessed tremendous strength. Now, he had become Second Brother’s sparring partner.
Qin Feng expressed his concern, “Even if the opponent has lost an arm and had his cultivation suppressed, Second Brother is still no match for him.”
“In a battle, one must face strong opponents. Without experiencing life and death, how can one grow?” Zhen Tianyi said, glancing at the ongoing fight in the courtyard, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
Hearing this, Qin Feng didn’t say much. With the presence of Senior Zhen and his wife, even if something unexpected happened, they could surely resolve it as soon as possible.
With that in mind, he also turned his attention to the fight in the courtyard.
As time passed, Second Brother’s progress was clearly visible.
At first, he could barely defend himself against the executioner’s attacks.
Then he began to seize opportunities to counter-attack the executioner, causing minor injuries.
And now, with the black-gold long knife, he could even leave scars on the executioner’s body!
After a while, Yu Mei also arrived in the courtyard, watching the battle not far away and nodding in agreement.
“Is it over?” Zhen Tianyi asked.
“Except for this person, the other three have all been killed.” Yu Mei replied quietly.
So many people? Qin Feng was surprised.
What happened to these guys? Why did they come to Qin Mansion to die?
When there are Senior Zhen, Senior Yu and his wife here.
“But I didn’t expect Senior Yu to be so efficient. My wife killed one and a half in the blink of an eye. I wonder what the other one looks like.” Qin Feng thought.
The executioner who was still fighting in the courtyard was also shocked by the opponent’s progress. When he heard that the other three companions had all died, his heart sank.
Originally, he had been thinking about the possibility of joining forces with some of the survivors in order to have a chance to escape.
But now that faint hope had become a luxury.
When things had come to this, the executioner had no more strength left. With a loud scream, his blood surged and he plunged into his decapitating blade.
“What is he trying to do?” Qin Feng shouted.
Zhen Tianyi casually said, “Knowing that there is no hope of escape, he is probably trying to use all his power to control your second brother and trade it for a chance to survive.”
“Ah, I see.” Qin Feng nodded and then frowned, “Senior Zhen, why don’t you help?”
“No need to help. Your second brother was just getting used to life and death battles before and couldn’t unleash his true power. Let me see how far he has progressed with his Heavenly Astral Essence Slash now.”
After a pause, Zhen Tianyi shouted, “Let me witness your Heavenly Astral Essence Slash and see how far you’ve come.”
“Alright, Master.” Qin An in the courtyard replied, taking a stance, and the internal energy flowed into the black-gold long knife.
Black hair floated without any wind, and numerous fine cracks instantly appeared on the ground beneath his feet.
This appearance truly had a touch of saint!
Qin Feng felt quite envious and sighed in his heart, ‘Indeed, warriors are more suitable for showing off.’
Seeing this, the executioner’s heart skipped a beat. He actually felt a sense of life and death crisis from this little child!
Without further ado, he dared not be careless, and the blood-soaked decapitation knife swung out violently.
Countless blood-red skulls, formed by resentment, the desire to kill, and malice, rushed fiercely towards the second brother.
This was the unique skill that the executioner had inherited – the Killing Blade!
Facing this terrifying attack, the second brother showed no panic. The golden light on the black-gold long knife, which was gathering energy, shone brightly. Without hesitation, the long knife lunged forward.
The golden aura of the blade materialised, carrying a momentum to destroy everything, engulfing all the blood-red skulls before ripping through the executioner’s body.
His eyes widening in disbelief, the executioner took two stiff steps forward, a line of blood slowly appearing on his forehead.
In an instant, his solid body split in two before everyone’s eyes.
Zhen Tianyi sprang into action; with a sweep of his right hand, the remaining corpse instantly turned to powder and dissipated.
“Not bad,” he chuckled, taking it as a recognition for the second brother.
Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and finally let go of the tension.
The crisis in the Qin family came inexplicably; Qin Feng thought it was just the enemy’s bad luck to end up here.
Little did he know, it was the fluctuation of his soul that attracted these unlucky individuals.
Later, officials from the Demon Slaying Department and the Prison Division came to the mansion to inquire about the situation.
The Officer of the Prison Division, wearing a white mask, bowed to Zhen Tianyi after confirming the extermination of all four.
In his opinion, the capture of all the remaining prisoners on the run from Ninefold Prison would naturally be the work of a divine general.
After completing the formalities, the officials from the Prison Division left to report back.
However, the members of the Demon Slaying Department did not leave; they left a message.
“Lord Zhen, Lord Yu, by the order of Emperor Ming, the martial arts competition that was not held last night will be held tomorrow at Rooster Hour on the Hanging Martial Platform.”
“Please make sure to arrive on time.”
Upon hearing this, Zhen Tianyi raised his eyebrows slightly, “I understand.”
The second brother asked curiously: “Such a big thing happened last night, why did Emperor Ming still organised a martial arts competition?”
Qin Feng pondered for a moment and guessed the reason, “It must be that our Emperor wants to use the pretext of the martial arts competition to showcase the strength of the Divine Generals of the Great Qian Demon Slaying Department and the Thirty-Six Stars. That way, he can reassure the people in the capital and boost confidence in the Great Qian.”
Yu Mei nodded in agreement with this explanation.
“This time, Divine Generals from the other three realms will also come, and their strength is remarkable.”
”Martial God Ning Zhan from the Eastern Realm, Boundless Kong Qiu from the Northern Realm, Senior Zhen, do you have confidence in your ability to defeat them?” Qin Feng asked.
Given his relationship with Zhen Tianyi, Qin Feng naturally hoped that Senior Zhen could take the lead.
However, despite his initial confidence, Qin Feng became somewhat concerned after seeing Ning Zhan and Kong Qiu in action.
After all, their strength was not to be underestimated. Moreover, the divine general from the Western Empire had not made a move yet.
Facing this question, Zhen Tianyi smiled, “Before I came here, I received a letter from the Commander. He gave me a strict order.”
“What order?” Everyone looked curious.
“For this competition, only victory is allowed, no defeat,” he said in a simple but confident manner.
