Chapter 9

Liu Qingcheng became distressed; she hadn't expected Qin Feng to be so malicious, not only wanting her dead but also planning to use Chu Yan's backing to destroy the Liu family.

"Your plan is good, but you made one mistake," she said.

"What?" Qin Feng frowned.

"You forgot to put the drug in my wine," Chu Yan smiled.

"Put the drug in your wine?" Qin Feng laughed maniacally: "You, a mere first-layer Mortal Realm, a one-star life body, a waste of space, do you think I need to drug you to deal with you?"

Chu Yan ignored Qin Feng and continued, "Qin Feng, I actually gave you a chance just now. If you had knelt and begged for mercy outside the tavern, I would have spared your life, or even your family's. But unfortunately, you didn't do that, so now, you have no chance."

"Chu Yan, don't be so arrogant! Without the backing of your forces, what are you? There's no one within a thousand meters, and killing you would be as easy as squashing an ant!"

Qin Feng immediately became fierce. He had been harboring resentment over the incident from the previous day, and now he finally had the chance to take revenge. He waved his hand.

"You three, go and tie him up! I want him to watch as I toy with Liu Qingcheng!"

"Yes!"

The three black-clothed men began to move.

"Bang!"

But in the next moment, Chu Yan's wrist flicked, and the wine glass in his hand flew out.

"Ah!"

The wine glass, as if it had eyes, made three turns in the air and hit the three black-clothed men in succession.

Instant kill? The three black-clothed men were actually killed in one hit by Chu Yan?

Chu Yan's move was too fast, and Qin Feng was startled. After all, the three subordinates who followed him were all above the third layer of the Mortal Realm. Together, they could even fight a fourth-layer Mortal Realm, but now they were killed by a single wine glass from Chu Yan?

Unfortunately, Qin Feng didn't know that Chu Yan was now at the fourth layer of the Mortal Realm and even stronger than a typical fourth layer.

"Third Young Master Qin, it seems your subordinates aren't very useful," Chu Yan said calmly, but his calmness made Qin Feng panic.

"Damn, this doesn't match the information I received. Boy, were you deliberately hiding your strength?"

Liu Yanbing's eyes also showed a hint of surprise as she looked at Chu Yan. She had always thought Chu Yan was a typical rich kid, relying on his background to do as he pleased, but now it seemed Chu Yan was not as simple as he appeared.

At least today, if it weren't for Chu Yan, she might have fallen into Qin Feng's clutches.

"I wouldn't say hiding my strength. When I came to the Liu family, I was indeed at the first layer of the Mortal Realm, but I had good luck these past two days and broke through to the fourth layer."

Two days? Three layers in two days? Qin Feng and Liu Yanbing were filled with shock. What an incredible cultivation speed?

"Nonsense, you're just a one-star life body, you can't have such talent!"

"You mean the life body? It was one star before, but now it seems to be three stars," Chu Yan said, and three stars formed on his forehead.

Qin Feng was no longer calm. If it was just a realm breakthrough, he would have thought Liu Tianfeng had secretly helped, using some secret medicine to force Chu Yan to break through. But now, even the life body had reached three stars. It was extremely difficult to improve a life body, and many people were stuck in the Mortal Realm or the Dust Moving Realm because of it.

"Damn! You tricked me!"

Qin Feng was furious, but he quickly calmed down. Although the information was wrong, after seeing Chu Yan's life body and realm, he still smiled smugly.

"Boy, I don't know if you were hiding your strength or if you had a great opportunity, but at the fourth layer of the Mortal Realm and a three-star life body, you're still no match for me. Once I kill you, I'll dissect your body to find your secret."

"If I were you, I'd kneel and beg for mercy now, instead of continuing to rant. Maybe I'd be in a good mood and just break your limbs and spare your life," Chu Yan said calmly.

"Enough talk, fourth layer of the Mortal Realm, I'll crush you with one palm!"

"Slap!"

Before Qin Feng could finish speaking, Chu Yan raised his hand and slapped him hard across the face. "You talk too much."

"Ah!"

Qin Feng screamed in pain, his eyes filled with blood: "Chu Yan, I'll make you die today!"

Liu Qingcheng, seeing Qin Feng release his essence energy, was filled with worry and made continuous "wu wu" sounds. But the effects of the Spring Heart Pill had fully taken hold, and her body was out of control. She could only forcibly seal her limbs to prevent herself from doing something unimaginable.

Seeing Liu Qingcheng's delicate appearance, Chu Yan smiled. "My dear wife, don't worry. Just stay here and watch as I deal with this pervert!"

"You're about to die, and you think you can protect anyone?"

First, he was verbally humiliated by Chu Yan, and now he had been slapped. Qin Feng could no longer tolerate it.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a three-foot-long sword appeared in Qin Feng's hand, and he slashed at Chu Yan through the air.

Seeing Qin Feng's sword technique, Chu Yan's expression became serious. This was his first formal fight since he could cultivate, so he had to be cautious.

"Bang!"

Chu Yan's palm shook, sending a wine glass flying from the table. Without a weapon, he could only use the wine glass to block the sword.

"Clang!"

A clear sound echoed in the tavern. Chu Yan stood up, and with a flick of his wrist, he slapped Qin Feng again.

Being hit twice in a row, Qin Feng's pride was greatly humiliated. He almost roared, holding the sword with both hands: "Waste, I'll kill you!"

"Hmph, full of flaws."

Chu Yan looked at Qin Feng with disdain. Honestly, Qin Feng's mental fortitude was really poor. This kind of jumping attack completely exposed his most vulnerable parts to the enemy. Without hesitation, Chu Yan clenched his fist and punched Qin Feng in the air.

"Soul Seizing Technique!"

Essence energy instantly gathered in Chu Yan's fist, forming a powerful impact. The force made even Liu Qingcheng, who was sitting paralyzed, widen her phoenix eyes in shock. She was at the ninth layer of the Mortal Realm, a standout among the young generation in Tianyong City, but even she felt a chill when she saw Chu Yan's punch.

Qin Feng was even more shocked. He had always thought Chu Yan was just a waste, and even if he could cultivate, he was only at the fourth layer of the Mortal Realm. How could he deliver such a terrifying punch?

"Bang!"

Without giving Qin Feng a chance to react, he was thrown to the ground, convulsing and foaming at the mouth.

"You see, I told you to kneel and beg for mercy. Why didn't you listen?"

Chu Yan picked up the long sword that Qin Feng had dropped and pointed it at his throat.

"Do you want to kill me?"

"Yes," Chu Yan said with a faint smile.

Qin Feng was terrified. "Chu Yan, you can't kill me! If you kill me, my father won't let you off. The Qin family isn't to be trifled with!"

"Before you make threats, you should consider who you're dealing with. If Qin Poshan were to rise from the grave, I might give him some face, but the current head of the Qin family doesn't deserve it," Chu Yan said calmly.

Qin Feng's face was very ugly. At this moment, he suddenly remembered Qin Xuan's words about the terrifying force behind Chu Yan, which had destroyed the Changlong family in one night. His threats were useless.

Qin Feng struggled to his feet, and Liu Qingcheng's eyebrows furrowed. She thought he was going to make a desperate counterattack, but his next move surprised her.

Chu Yan also frowned. Qin Feng knelt on the ground and trembled, saying, "Young Master Chu, I was blind. Spare me! I'll be your dog from now on!"

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it." Chu Yan shook his head coldly and raised his sword.

"Damn! You can't kill me, you can't kill me! If you kill me, the Qin family won't let you off!"

"Don't worry, you won't be alone. I'll send the Qin family to keep you company." Chu Yan swung his sword and slit Qin Feng's throat.

"Ah!" Qin Feng screamed and died instantly.

Liu Qingcheng had been watching Chu Yan the whole time. Her eyebrows were furrowed, and she couldn't believe that things had turned out this way. She had been prepared to die to protect her honor, but she never expected Qin Feng to be killed by Chu Yan.

When she looked at Chu Yan, her phoenix eyes became strange.

Is this really the same waste? Liu Qingcheng began to doubt.

But no matter what, she was saved. Liu Qingcheng looked at Chu Yan with a hint of gratitude, but the next moment, her almond eyes flashed with fear as she saw Chu Yan looking at her with a lecherous gaze.

"What are you going to do?" Liu Qingcheng screamed.

"My dear wife, now that Qin Feng is dead, don't you think we should do something beautiful?" Chu Yan smiled.

"Don't come near me! If you come near me, I'll die in front of you!"

Liu Qingcheng was terrified, but Chu Yan ignored her and continued to approach her with a lecherous look. She was on the verge of tears, unable to believe that she had escaped one danger only to fall into another. The effects of the Spring Heart Pill had fully taken hold, and she was powerless to resist Chu Yan.

"Don't touch me! Don't come near me!"

Liu Qingcheng screamed and clawed at Chu Yan.

Chu Yan's body was scratched with blood, and he couldn't help but curse, "Liu Qingcheng, that's enough! If you keep scratching me, I'll leave you here to deal with the consequences!"

Chu Yan's sudden shout made Liu Qingcheng quiet down. Then her eyebrows furrowed as she felt a warm current slowly flowing into her body.
